Full textAbstract:
This article examines Sōda Kazuhiro’s observational documentary, especially his second observational film, Seishin (Mental), and specifically considers its participatory methods, sociohistorical circumstances, and philosophical anthropology. Influenced by North American direct cinema of the 1960s (especially Frederick Wiseman) as well as Bronisław Malinowski’s participant observation, Sōda’s observational style not only emphasizes the self-affective nature of documentary eyes but also rejects the preconceived reality of its object. Documentary is not conceived “in the head”: unexpected discoveries, which inevitably accompany his participatory methods, define his object from an ex ante facto (before the fact) perspective. Examples of this are the contingency of the mental-bodily complex (Seishin) and self-contradictory social situations (Senkyo and Senkyo 2). Because it’s an observationalparticipatory film, Seishin responds to the sociopolitical climates of the late 2000s, especially the Japanese government’s reforms of health and medical services. Specifically, two laws were enacted while the film was in production: the 2005 Support for Independence of Persons with Disability (SIPD) Act and the 2006 Suicide Prevention Act. Furthermore, Seishin represents an anthropological (techno-ontological) standpoint similar to that of Gilbert Simondon, Miki Kiyoshi, and Ludwig Wittgenstein. This article investigates the film’s ontology, externalism, and political critique of neoliberalism in the late 2000s.

Full textAbstract:
Marina Razbezhkina is a well-known Russian documentary filmmaker, educator, and founder of the largest independent documentary school in the country. Her very original approach to documentary, which combines intimate proximity to the protagonist with raw observational aesthetics, revolutionized the Russian film landscape and became the trademark of her school. Her students most often work as a one-person crew with a lightweight hand-held camera shadowing their protagonists up close. This “hunt for reality,” as Razbezhkina terms the practice, usually results in deeply engaging observational documentaries that completely absorb the viewer into an unfamiliar reality. In this interview Razbezhkina talks about the beginnings of her career, explains the origins and the core of her filmmaking method, and discusses the changing role of documentary in the modern world.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the way in which music has featured in documentary films and programmes. The conventions of restrained use to cue mood and theme are explored, using examples and the recommendations of manuals. Across the varieties of documentary output, the article notes how the dominance of journalistic and observational formats has, for different reasons, tended to place music in the margins. Drawing on an example from the classic period of documentary film-making in Britain, it points towards a more expansive use of music in a complementary relationship with images. A number of general theoretical points about the specific properties of the documentary image and its relationship with music are raised and recent examples of successful innovation discussed. The article ends by suggesting that there is more scope for aesthetic development in music-image relations than has often been recognised and that some of the established inhibitions about mixing ‘fact’ with ‘emotion’ need to be reviewed.

Full textAbstract:
The Nyama documentary is as a counter-discourse on intolerant attitudes in Indonesia. Nyama film was the result of research and creation of written and audio-visual data documentation of the acculturation of art and culture in the Muslim village of Pegayaman Buleleng, Bali. It was an observational/direct cinema-style documentary film acculturation of Hindu and Islamic arts and culture in Pegayaman Village, Buleleng, Bali. The Nyama film identified the perceptions and acculturation of art and culture in Pegayaman Village, Buleleng, Bali. It was a qualitative descriptive research method. Sources of data obtained through a purposive sampling method were done by accidental sampling technique. The location of the sampling was carried out in Pegayaman Village, Buleleng, Bali. The method used in achieving these goals was Representing reality. The documentary tells an event or reality (facts and data). Principally, documentary films are based on facts and are demanded to be loyal to those facts. Discussion of research and creation of this movie is the observational/direct cinema documentaries. This film tells the story of several people in Pegayaman Village. The subjects in this film are not in the same condition but are equally struggling to preserve the acculturation of Hindu and Islamic arts and culture in the Bali region. The information building in this film was a combination of interviews with selected subjects. The results of the research and creation were in the form of Nyama documentary films. The Nyama documentary is an acculturation campaign for arts and culture and a counter-discourse on the intolerant attitude of Indonesian society that is multicultural and has the character of Indonesian nationality.

Full textAbstract:
Nilo Couret interviews Brazilian documentary filmmaker Maria Augusta Ramos. Her recent documentary, O Processo (The Trial, 2018), chronicles the “parliamentary coup” against Dilma Rousseff, delving into the impeachment process and the former president's trial in the Senate. In O Processo, Ramos engages with enduring themes and subjects from her twenty-year career, particularly her well-known Justice Trilogy, which examined the Brazilian criminal justice system. For Ramos, documentary shares an affinity with forensic discourse when its purpose is truth-telling in the service of justice. Rousseff's trial and impeachment, however, find the filmmaker probing how justice has been sundered from the truth in a contemporary moment when corruption scandals and fake news compromise our democratic institutions. Her films combine an observational approach with institutional analyses in order to reveal the workings of power behind the surfaces of everyday life.

ABSTRACT Steve James's Reel Paradise and Kim Longinotto and Florence Ayisi's Sisters in Law exemplify divergent paths in the field of ethnographic documentary since 1922's formative Nanook of the North. The observational style of Sisters in Law bests the self-indulgence of Reel Paradise, though both films present ethical challenges.

Full textAbstract:
Gianfranco Rosi’s mode of filmmaking apprehends the human ‘subject’ of documentary cinema in its uncertainty and unpredictability. Rosi’s cinema can be situated in the context of observational cinema, and like other filmmakers working in this vein, he focuses his camera on human subjects who we come to know across his films’ duration. In Below Sea Level (2009), Rosi focuses on the lives of people living marginal existences, on the edges of society, in a desert in southern California. These people disclose themselves (and are disclosed by Rosi’s shooting and editing) in an elliptical fashion that frustrates the desire for complete knowledge about their lives. In this method of intimate disclosure, in which there is a refusal to coax reassuring certainties from the people encountered in making this film, Rosi demonstrates the possibility of a humanist documentary cinema, insofar as ‘human’ in ‘humanist’ refers to an unpredictable becoming.

Dart, Jon, and Philip McDonald. "A Perfect Script? Manchester United’s Class of ’92." Journal of Sport and Social Issues 41, no. 2 (December 23, 2016): 118–32. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0193723516685272.
Full textAbstract:
The Class of ’92 is a documentary film featuring six Manchester United F.C. players who recount their time during a pivotal period for the club, English football and English society. The documentary claims to offer a commentary on Britain in the 1990s, but appears, without acknowledging the fact, to be a promotional vehicle to establish the six men as a brand labeled the Class of ’92 (CO92). Creating this brand necessarily involved presenting a selective account of their time and places with the film being little more than an advertisement, masquerading as an observational documentary. The film draws freely upon the symbolic capital held by the club and the city of Manchester and uses the Busby Babes/Munich chapter and the more recent “Madchester scene” to forge the Class of ’92 brand by editing out those elements that did not accord with this project. The article argues that a more complete representation of ’90s Britain, while disrupting the intended narrative, would acknowledge the significant structural and commercial changes experienced by the club, the sport, and the city in the last decade of the 20th century. We suggest that the Class of ’92 invites the viewer to consider how the documentary film genre can contribute to brand development and promotion.

Penciptaan ini bermula dari ketidakpuasan subjek dalam film dokumenter sebelumnya, sehingga memantik pencipta untuk membuat film dokumenter selanjutnya. Setelah proses yang cukup panjang akhirnya pencipta mengajak subjek untuk membuat film selanjutnya dengan konsep kolaboratif, artinya kami berdua bekerjasama untuk menghasilkan film selanjutnya. Film dokumenter kolaboratif ini menggunakan gaya observasional yang menekankan pada dialog antar subjek dan kenaturalan disetiap adegan dalam film. Secara garis besar proses kolaborasi antara kami berdua berhasil dengan baik, hanya ada beberapa kendala karena adanya pandemi covid 19 yang menyebabkan berkurangnya interaksi antara kami.This creation stems from the dissatisfaction of the subject in the previous documentary film, thus igniting the creator to make the next documentary. After a fairly long process the creator finally invited the subject to make the next film with a collaborative concept, meaning we both worked together to produce the next film. This collaborative documentary film uses an observational style that emphasizes dialogue between subjects and natural in every scene in the film. Broadly speaking, the collaboration process between the two of us succeeded well, there were only a few obstacles due to the covid pandemic 19 which led to reduced interaction between us.

Full textAbstract:
This article turns to the Maysles brothers’ 1975 film Grey Gardens to problematize the philosophical assumptions at work in debates about objectivity and direct cinema. With a suitable picture of documentary objectivity we can avoid endorsing the claim that no film can be objective or the corollary that only documentaries that reflexively acknowledge the biases of their makers can succeed aesthetically or ethically. Against critics who have attacked Grey Gardens for its problematic claims to objectivity as well as theorists defending it for how it undermines objectivity, I argue that the film’s objective treatment of its subjects is part of its aesthetic and ethical achievement. In the context of observational documentary, being objective does not mean taking a purely dispassionate stance toward one’s subjects, but treating them without prejudice or moralism and letting them reveal themselves.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper we undertake a critical reading of the documentary Raising Bertie (2016). Directed by Margaret Byrne, the film tells the story of three poor, young Black American males living in Bertie County. In the paratextual material associated with the film, Byrne demonstrates reflexivity about stereotyping, revealing she engaged authentically with participants over a period of six years. Further, she begins the film by signalling the critical importance of situating the boys’ lives in a long history of discrimination and disadvantage. However, this focus on context soon disappears, and an observational mode of filmmaking is engaged. As a result, the type of negative images of Black masculinity that have had considerable currency in popular culture are reproduced and overstated in the film. Raising Bertie’s images of Black males as violent and criminal, and as absent and passive, are not effectively embedded in any broader narratives of disadvantage. Despite the director’s intentions, the film risks positioning rural Black males as responsible for their own plight. Poverty is racialised and individualised. The problem the film presents becomes one of troublesome Black masculinity, rather than one of a racialised, economically and geographically unjust world.

Full textAbstract:
This essay examines two films by the Chinese documentary filmmaker Wang Bing about temporary migrant workers in small, privately owned garment workshops in Zhejiang Province, China: Bitter Money (Ku Qian; 2016) and 15 Hours (Shi Wu Xiao Shi; 2017). Wang's films portray Chinese garment workers' lived experiences of "suspension," as defined by Biao Xiang in this issue, in unique cinematic ways. Social sciences have paid close attention to the experiences of migrant workers, but art documentaries use audiovisual and aesthetic means to explore their everyday reality, producing what D. MacDougall calls distinctive "affective knowledge." Wang's films are usually categorized as part of the Sixth Generation of Chinese filmmakers, known for capturing social issues through observational methods. In this essay, I identify Wang's works with the aesthetics of "slow cinema" and a global documentary trend in the visual arts as theorized by T. J. Demos in The Migrant Image. Based on close observation coupled with empathetic insight, Wang develops his own subjective method to portray people in a transformed and still changing China, where suspension is a common state of being. Ultimately, Wang's films not only make the personal experiences of migrant workers visible and tangible, but also problematize their underlying, collective condition of suspension due to the contract labour system and associated hypermobility. The suspension approach suggests a productive way of bringing documentary art and social sciences into dialogue.

Full textAbstract:
This essay interweaves an analysis of Raymond Depardons short documentary film, 10 minutes de silence pour John Lennon (1980), with some broader reflections on time, cultural history, and silence. Shot in a single take, the film records the expressions, movements, and reactions of some of 200,000 mourners who gathered in Central Park to commemorate Lennons life six days after his death in December, 1980. Despite its observational form and aesthetic reticence, 10 minutes de silence renders unexpected coincidences of colour, perspective, gesture, and noise, spontaneous formations and patterns that resonate beyond the films actual moment and journalistic raison dêtre.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Real life stories can enable audiences to empathise with the experiences of marginalised groups and communities and are extremely powerful tools in struggles for equality. High-quality documentary research can convey the life experiences of marginalised peoples in ways that are recognisable to them and which further their struggle for equality. Often, marginalised people are represented by ‘filmmakers’ eager to capitalise on the affect produced by detailed renditions of everyday political struggles. However, film-makers are rarely trained in how to empower participants to understand film-making and distribution processes. These understandings and dialogic processes are important if participants are to have a real say in how they are represented. Process: In 2011, Maya Newell and Charlotte Mars began to develop an observational feature documentary Gayby Baby (2015) focused on same-sex families, for the first time revealing the child’s perspective on debates concerning Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Intersex, Queer and their children’s equality. They were interested in empowering participants to have a real say in the film. Jen Skattebol’s family was one of the four families featured in the film. This shared activist experience grounds the authors’ discussion of ethical care in representative practices. Discussion: Recently, documentary film-making and academic research has seen the emergence of a new value system that measures success in terms of ‘impact’ in the public sphere. This developing interest amplifies the ethical issues involved in representational work and raises new questions concerning the implications of subject participation in the development of resources that aim to improve health and well-being in broad political terms. This article sketches out the contours of a more ethical form of social impact making that grew out of kitchen table conversations between documentary subject and maker – the researched and researcher. Ethical frameworks of care need to be recalibrated in line with the issues foregrounded by burgeoning social impact agendas.

Tourism and cultural agencies in some English provincial cities are promoting their popular music ‘heritage’ and, in some cases, contemporary musicians through the packaging of trails, sites, ‘iconic’ venues and festivals. This article focuses on Sheffield, a ‘post-industrial’ northern English city which is drawing on its associations with musicians past and present in seeking to attract tourists. This article is based on interviews with, among others, recording artists, promoters, producers and venue managers, along with reflective observational and documentary data. Theoretical remarks are made on the representations of popular musicians through cultural tourism strategies, programmes and products and also on the ways in which musicians convey a ‘psychogeographical’ sense of place in the ‘soundscape’ of the city.

Full textAbstract:
Facing the Music (2001) is a film that performs at many levels. While its primary narrative is about the effects of government funding cuts to universities, and specifically the effect on the University of Sydney's Music Department, the film also weaves other more generic stories about people and how they interact with each other. Connolly's and Anderson's complex and confronting style of observational film-making is examined in the context of this film for the ways in which it ‘assumes' that film can ‘translate’ the details of people's everyday lives into a broad discussion of particular social issues and conflicts. As with all translations, however, some meanings inadvertently are lost and others added. Drawing on Walter Benjamin's idea of ‘translatability’ and Brecht's concept of gest, this paper describes how particular cultural meanings which are embedded within the documentary film, Facing the Music, can be accessed through the ways in which the audiovisual text ‘melodramatically’ presents people and profilmic events. Thomas Elsaesser's definition of classic fictional melodrama, as a ‘closed’ world of ‘inner’ violence where ‘characters are acted upon’, becomes a guide to understanding the film's secondary narratives about the operation of particular stereotypical, binary representations: men and women; artists and ‘the rest of the world’; academics (‘gown’) and other people (‘town’). Using Laura Mulvey's further distinction of ‘matriarchal’ and ‘patriarchal’ melodramas. Facing the Music is described as a ‘matriarchal’ documentary melodrama. The film's selective translation of how people live their lives in a particular social situation is thereby discussed as a further translation into the broader discourses of gender and power relations in a society.

Full textAbstract:
Hong Kong women have been taking up the camera to explore the changing nature of their identity. Linking the depiction of the gendered body with the demand for women’s rights as sexual citizens, several directors have examined changing attitudes toward women’s sexuality. Yau Ching, for example, interrogates the issues of sex work, the internet, and lesbian desire in Ho Yuk: Let’s Love Hong Kong (2002). Barbara Wong’s documentary, Women’s Private Parts (2001), however, uses the televisual talking head interview and observational camera to highlight the way women view their bodies within contemporary Chinese culture. By examining the common ground shared by these very different films, a vision of women’s sexuality emerges that highlights Hong Kong women’s struggle for full sexual citizenship.

A 28-month study was made of the delivery of emergency medical services (EMS) in disasters and large casualty-producing situations. Focus was on the organizational and human aspects of EMS in such situations rather than technical medical matters. Intensive interview, observational, documentary and statistical data were obtained in field work in 29 actual natural and technological disasters, and five potentially high mass casualty pre-planned events (e.g., the Mardi Gras celebration); additionally, in-depth studies were made of hospital and medical sector EMS preparedness in six disaster prone communities. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were made of the data by using a model which linked the pre-impact conditions of the established EMS local community system to the characteristics of the emergent EMS system.

Full textAbstract:
This article compares two documentary films that address an apparent crisis of post-witnessing at memorials that commemorate the victims of National Socialism. In the context of contemporary debates about appropriate behaviour for tourists at sites of “dark” or “difficult” heritage, Sergei Loznitsa’s Austerlitz (2016) and Rex Bloomstein’s KZ (2006) take very different approaches to observing the act of visiting concentration camp memorials. Whereas Loznitsa adopts an observational documentary mode, constructing a cultural hierarchy between the touristic observer and the cinematic observer at memorials in Germany, Bloomstein’s film uses a participatory mode to prompt the viewer to consider the complexities of the affective-discursive practice of tourists engaging with the suffering of victims at the Mauthausen memorial in Austria. The article argues that Bloomstein’s decision to adopt a participatory approach is more productive in allowing us to think about the significance of responses to victims’ suffering at such sites. Este artículo compara dos documentales que giran en torno a una aparente crisis del post-testimonio en monumentos a las víctimas del nacionalsocialismo. En el contexto del debate actual sobre cómo deben comportarse los turistas en lugares de herencia “oscura” o “difícil”, Austerlitz (2016), de Sergei Loznitsa, y KZ (2006), de Rex Bloomstein, observan de forma muy diferente el acto de visitar antiguos campos de concentración. Mientras Loznitsa adopta un modo de observación documental, construyendo una jerarquía cultural entre el observador turístico y el cinemático, Bloomstein opta por un modo participativo para exhortar al espectador a considerar las complejidades de las prácticas afectivo-discursivas de los turistas que se comprometen con el sufrimiento de las víctimas. El artículo argumenta que la decisión de Bloomstein de adoptar un enfoque participativo es más productivo a la hora de propiciar nuestra reflexión sobre el significado de las respuestas al sufrimiento de las víctimas en esos lugares.

The infant mortality (IM) is caused due to a combination of biological, cultural, social events and flaws in the health system. In Brazil, it´s possible to observe that the control of IM is not yet evident. This study aimed to identify the main causes of hospitalization in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in 2012 and stratify their characteristics. This was a documentary cross-sectional observational study. 393 medical records were analyzed by the discharge neonatal summary and official data of deaths, made from January 2012 to December of 2012. The data were tabulated with the program “Originlab data analysis” and formatted in the Excel program. Prematurity was the main cause of hospitalization and neonatal death identified at work. Low birth weight, gestational age less than 34 weeks and the length of hospital stay were also analyzed characteristics favoring an increases risk of death. Efforts to better stratification of data from national epidemiological profiles are important for better attention to this age group.

Full textAbstract:
Extensive international research points to an association between changed work arrangements, especially those commonly labelled as contingent work, with adverse occupational health and safety (OHS) outcomes. Research also indicates these work arrangements have weakened or bypassed existing OHS and workers’ compensation regulatory regimes. However, there has been little if any research into how OHS inspectors perceive these issues and how they address them during workplace visits or investigations. Between 2003 and 2007 research was undertaken that entailed detailed documentary and statistical analysis, extended interviews with 170 regulatory managers and inspectors, and observational data collected while accompanying inspectors on 118 ‘typical’ workplace visits. Key findings are that inspectors responsible for a range of industries see altered work arrangements as a serious challenge, especially labour hire (agency work) and subcontracting. Though the law imposes clear obligations, inspectors identified misunderstanding/blameshifting and poor compliance amongst parties to these arrangements. The complexity of these work arrangements also posed logistical challenges to inspectorates.

This essay discusses the experimental nonfiction film El Mar La Mar (Joshua Bonnetta and J.P. Sniadecki, 2017), focusing on the migrant crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. El Mar La Mar is one of several recent films that use unconventional textual strategies to approach the subject of migration. Eschewing exposition altogether, it draws attention to the Sonoran Desert, a vast territory that in the last twenty-five years has become a deadly route for migrants trying to cross the border. Unlike what has often been argued about the film, though, El Mar La Mar does not produce an immersive viewing experience. Nor does it simply rely on observational strategies. Instead, it creates an uneasy sense of place out of unexpected juxtapositions of sound and image. Drawing on human geography and sound studies in documentary, this essay looks at how the film's textual strategies align place and politics in order to evoke the migrant crisis.

Full textAbstract:
The paper presents a qualitative multiple case study of three multilateral public–private R&D consortia representing different industrial sectors. Using the practice-based view as a theoretical lens, we explore the interplay between the deliberate and emergent practices of boundary management across the following three dimensions: (1) Boundary bridging focus; (2) boundary crossing arrangements; and (3) collaborative governance arrangements. Drawing on interviews, documentary analysis and observational data, we describe the misalignment between the deliberate and emergent aspects of boundary management, which can be caused by the funders’ reporting requirements, power differentials between collaborators and lack of contextual understanding. These factors, accompanied by path-dependency and confidentiality issues, may result in asymmetrical boundary management, whereby a selective focus on a specific boundary (or set of boundaries) combined with an unequal development of boundary bridges within the collaboration may lead to the crossing of some boundaries being prioritised at the expense of others.

AbstractAstronomy in Armenia was popular since ancient times and Armenia is rich in its astronomical heritage, such as ancient and medieval Armenian calendars, records of astronomical events by ancient Armenians, the astronomical heritage of the Armenian medieval great thinker Anania Shirakatsi, etc. Armenian astronomical archives have accumulated vast number of photographic plates, films and other careers of observational data. The Digitized Markarian Survey or the First Byurakan Survey, is the most important low-dispersion spectroscopic database. It is one of the rare science items included in UNESCO “Memory of the World” Documentary Heritage list. The Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory (BAO) Plate Archive Project (2015–2021) will result in digitization and storage of some 37,000 astronomical plates and films and in creation of an Electronic Database for further research projects. Based on these data and archives and development of their interoperability, the Armenian Virtual Observatory was created and joined the International Virtual Observatory Alliance.

Full textAbstract:
In Brazil, since the early 2000s, different documentaries have raised awareness about the problematic issues that tree plantations, especially eucalyptus, provoke, as they are propagated across the country. By means of interviews and a mix of investigative and expository styles, these films address and denounce the controversial role and power of the timber industry. However, in the last few years, other works have approached the relationships between planted forests and local ecosystems, offering an alternative perspective. This essay analyzes two recent films on the issue, the short film Gerais, and the 78 min long Do pó da terra, released in 2015 and 2016, respectively, while looking at another short documentary, Desertos verdes: plantações de eucaliptos, agrotóxicos e água, released in 2017, a straightforward documentary that advocates against eucalyptus plantations, interviews specialists and activists, and shows data that work as a report about the situation. In Gerais and Do pó da terra, forest plantations are not central narratives, rather, the focus is on specific communities and their customs. Through testimonial, observational, and poetic modes, they discuss the challenges faced by local inhabitants as their unique lifestyles and sociocultural expressions are threatened. Thus, this essay explains how, instead of images of destruction and the specificities of eucalyptus environmental effects, these documentaries choose to show the connection of local people and their art with the land, their daily life, and the changes they face. By crucially emphasizing the different timelines in play, that of western modernity, and that of alternative understandings of life–nature, they differ from other approaches towards filming environmental conflict that stress the immediacy of the situation. These two films offer a more intimate perspective of human beings, in interplay with their ecosystem, which allows for reflection on how they cohabitate and look forward.

ABSTRACTTwo challenges facing nursing-home care today are understanding the concept of quality of life as it relates to cognitively impaired residents and finding effective ways to ensure that it is achieved. Canadian director Allan King's documentary, Memory for Max, Claire, Ida and Company, filmed at Baycrest, captures a method for enhancing the quality of life of six cognitively impaired residents. While the film suggests an intervention model implemented by volunteers, there are challenges unique to institution-based programs (i.e., the recruitment and retention of volunteers). One of the challenges is the fear that volunteers may experience when interacting with the cognitively impaired. We conducted a pilot study of a model for training volunteers to provide friendly visiting and evaluated the impact on the participating residents. Observational accounts of volunteer–resident interactions and seven volunteer interviews were analysed and yielded several themes—(a) relationship building, (b) contribution of the environment, (c) preserving personhood, (d) resident-centred presence and the quality of the moment—and several themes related to the volunteers' role and their perceived impact on the residents. Discussed are the implications for volunteer programs in long-term health care settings.

Full textAbstract:
With Lampedusa in Winter ( A / CH / I 2015) and Fire at Sea (I/F 2016), the Italian and Austrian filmmakers Jakob Brossmann and Gianfranco Rosi more or less simultaneously pursue similar projects: for their cinematic long term observations, both films center on the small Sicilian island of Lampedusa, a focus of mass media interest due to current migration processes and the humanitarian crisis in the Mediterranean Both rely on visual traditions of (neo-)realistic cinema in order to avoid documentary cinema's frequently didactic approach Instead of techniques such as voice-over narration and interviews (expository mode), Brossmann and Rossi most notably employ indirect address and contrastive mon tage, thus enabling the audience to experience ’authentic‘ impressions of everyday life on the island (observational mode). At the same time, however, the films themselves are inevitably part of the hype surrounding Lampedusa as the very symbol of the humanitarian crisis in the Mediterranean The article analyses how, by means of different intermedial references, the two films situate Lampedusa between everyday life and emergency, between cinematic traditions of the Italian post-war era and their anthropological and metamedial transgression

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the facilitators and barriers to the use of the FM System in school-age children with hearing loss. Methods: a cross-sectional, observational and documentary study. Data from the children's charts and responses of their 30 teachers to a questionnaire were used in the descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The questions were related to the use of the FM System by the child and the preparation of the teachers to use the resource. Results: out of the 30 children whose teachers answered the survey, only nine used the FM System in the classroom. Factors such as age, parents' schooling and their participation in speech therapy, as well as the teacher's knowledge about the FM System and their experience with hard of hearing children were shown to be facilitators for the use of the device as well as the consistent use of the hearing devices (hearing aids and/or cochlear implant). Conclusion: the main facilitator for the use of the FM System was the teacher's knowledge about it. Considering the importance of the use of this resource for the mainstream education of children with hearing loss, a multi-centric research is desirable for the determination of protocols to follow the adaptation and training of the school community.

Full textAbstract:
Assessing the impact of future climate change on North Atlantic tropical cyclone (TC) activity is of crucial societal importance, but the limited quantity and quality of observational records interferes with the skill of future TC projections. In particular, North Atlantic TC response to radiative forcing is poorly understood and creates the dominant source of uncertainty for twenty-first-century projections. Here, we study TC variability in the Caribbean during the Maunder Minimum (MM; 1645–1715 CE), a period defined by the most severe reduction in solar irradiance in documented history (1610–present). For this purpose, we combine a documentary time series of Spanish shipwrecks in the Caribbean (1495–1825 CE) with a tree-growth suppression chronology from the Florida Keys (1707–2009 CE). We find a 75% reduction in decadal-scale Caribbean TC activity during the MM, which suggests modulation of the influence of reduced solar irradiance by the cumulative effect of cool North Atlantic sea surface temperatures, El Niño–like conditions, and a negative phase of the North Atlantic Oscillation. Our results emphasize the need to enhance our understanding of the response of these oceanic and atmospheric circulation patterns to radiative forcing and climate change to improve the skill of future TC projections.

Full textAbstract:
Summary Subjects with anxiety disorders display substantial disabilities in health-related quality of life. The Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) and SF-36 Questionnaire (SF-36) have been administered to subjects with anxiety disorders participating in psychopharmacology clinical trials and observational studies to evaluate their impaired functioning. The SDS does not address and does not include all the disabilities important to subjects with anxiety disorders and susceptible to being affected by drugs with anxiolytic effects, all of which are associated with significant problems. As a single-state-in-time rating, the SDS is often inadequate to discern subtle, but important,changes which may occur between measurements. The SF-36 as a measure of health status can, on the other hand, assess only the patient's behavior most directly affected by the disorder and treatment. As a result, the SF-36 enables the differentiation of functioning and well-being of subjects with anxiety disorders from diverse populations. There is little documentary evidence that demonstrates the value and actual performance of the SDS and SF-36 for the intended purpose. In the absence of a general consensus concerning operational definition, the measurement of disability in this patient population with these scales may be obsolete. There is the need for more specific and simple instruments capable to assess the distinct pattern of impairment associated with subjects with anxiety disorders.

ABSTRACT We revise the sunspot observations made by Galileo Galilei and Christoph Scheiner in the context of their controversy regarding the nature of sunspots. Those of their sunspot records not included in the current sunspot group database, used as a basis to calculate the sunspot group number, are analysed. Within the documentary sources consulted in this work, we can highlight the sunspot observations by Scheiner included in the letters sent under the pseudonym Apelles to Marcus Welser and the first sunspot observations made by Galileo, which can be consulted in Le opere di Galileo Galilei. These sunspot observations would extend the temporal coverage for these two observers and fill some gaps in the current group database in the earliest period, where the data available are sparse. Moreover, we have detected changes in the quality of the sunspot drawings made by Galileo and Scheiner in their observation series, affecting the number of groups recorded by the two observers. We also compare these records with sunspot observations made by other astronomers of that time. According to this comparison and regarding the same observation days, Scheiner was generally the astronomer who reported more sunspot groups, while Harriot, Cigoli and Galileo recorded a similar number of groups. We conclude that these differences are mainly because of the observational methods used by the observers.

The primary purpose of this study was to examine the quality assurance practice of public TVET institutions in Khartoum State and its challenges and prospects. To this end, the study used an explanatory sequential mixed method design. The researcher chooses 285 teachers and 491 students from 12 TVET institutions to complete the study questionnaire using stratified and simple random sampling. Descriptive (mean scores, standard deviation) and inferential statistics used to analyze quantitative data (two-sample t-test, multiple regression analysis). Also, the researcher interviewed all of the selected TVET institution managers, technical education directors, and SCVTA for qualitative data. Besides, six teachers and nine students participated in a focus group discussion, accompanied by an observational checklist for the quantity and quality of selected input resources. Documentary analyses for TVET policy documents were also used. According to the study's findings, the amount of materials and services available at Khartoum state TVET institutions is insufficient. In TVET institutions, the input quality was poor. Students had high expectations and perceptions of TVET. It was suggested that the authorities: formulate specific policies and plans for TVET, allocate the appropriate budget, and monitor the plan's implementation; form a collaboration between industry and TVET to help students and compensate for training deficiencies, and pay more attention to teacher training and motivation by meeting their needs.

Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the level of professional competence of students in the specialty "Nurse" at the Medical University - Pleven for working in a crèche. Material and Methods: The study was conducted between March 2015 and February 2018. A total of 143 persons have enrolled: 60 students from the specialty "Nurse" at the Medical University of Pleven and 83 nurses working in crèches and crèche groups at integrated nurseries located on the territory of Pleven municipality. Documentary and questionnaire methods were used. Two types of original questionnaires were developed to examine respondents' views. The survey data were processed with STATGRAPHICS statistical software packages; SPSS 19 and EXCEL for Windows. Results: According to the students, the main professional qualities for working in a day crèche are: communicative skills for working with children - 96.67% (58); observational skills- 78.33% (47); good knowledge of the educational process - 50.0% (30). Nearly half of the surveyed graduates - 46.67% (28) believe that it is mandatory for healthcare professionals to have psychological and pedagogical training to work with young children. What is of particular note is the high proportion of students - 78.10% (n = 32) who claim that their pedagogical and psychological training is insufficient to perform their duties effectively. Conclusion: The students defined the level of their pedagogical and psychological training as not good enough to pursue their profession in this health sphere.

Background: Burns represent a traumatic situation in children. Such trauma is experienced after hospital discharge, when the child finds it difficult to interact in his social and family environment. Information is the most effective way to reduce the consequences generated by the burn. Objectives: To trace the epidemiological profile of children victims of burns who enter a referral hospital in the Amazon. Methods: This study was retrospective, descriptive, observational, cross-sectional and documentary, of a quantitative nature, carried out through analyzes in hospital records, from January 2016 to December 2018. Results: Of the 403 records analyzed, the gender male stood out with 237 (59%) and female 166 (41%); the burned body surface index was 0 to 10% with 210 (52%); the burn depth was 2nd degree, with 370 (92%) of the total cases; medical drug treatment, tramadol as the most used 180 (53%). As for clinical treatment with intervention, debridement indicated a higher prevalence 340 (84%) of cases. In physical therapy treatment, 255 (63%) did not undergo any type of physical therapy intervention, 389 (97%) did not present any complications during hospitalization. Conclusions: Studies to date are scarce with specific and detailed data on the subject, so that effective intervention strategies are provided in order to reduce this trauma in children, especially in the most prevalent age group of this study.

The aim of this article is to identify in the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) of High School how the Digital Information and Communication Technologies (TDIC) are being mentioned and to discuss whether these mentions are sufficient to contemplate critical media education for Teaching Average. Digital language is present in society and should be explored as a means of communication, information, interactivity and especially as a way of conceiving new devices. Therefore, it is expected that High School will offer subsidies to use and reflect on these technologies since they are increasingly present in the daily lives of young people. As a methodology, the document analysis of the BNCC was applied using the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC software, using the Word Search command “Ctrl + F”. The search resulted in only eleven mentions in the part destined to High School, and most of these mentions are located in the Area of Languages and its Technologies. Based on the evidence provided by the literature, the importance of the document and the relevance of TIDC's in today's society, it is concluded that the chosen theme needs qualitative and quantitative expansion in the BNCC. Technologies are important parts of contemporary reality and their value is increasingly proven, whether scientifically or in everyday use, but this study is limited to the documentary field, since no observational research was carried out.

Full textAbstract:
Written and directed by Marzia Jamili, a Hazara refugee now living in Sweden, Unimaginable Dreams is an auto-ethnographic essay film that traces Marzia’s last days in Athens, Greece. Blending documentary and fiction, Marzia casts her best friends to recreate magically real versions of her dearest memories of Athens as she delivers a cutting address to Afghanistan, in which she tells the sea about her broken homeland.
This film project seeks to demonstrate the possibilities of collaborative filmmaking as a methodology, particularly in response to the limitations of etic observational approaches in migration research and the lack of refugee voices in public discourse. Through reenactment and Marzia’s epistolary narrative, Unimaginable Dreams resurfaces notions of belonging and citizenship within the imagination, weaving together oneiric and real geographies situated in the past and future. Facing perpetual displacement and public erasure, the film medium offers a declarative space of visibility in Athens, where its maker articulates rights and desires denied by the state.
Unimaginable Dreams is the first production by the Melissa Network's Film Club, a collaborative program cofounded by Brittany Nugent and Dove Barbanel that challenges hegemonic representations of migrant women by empowering members to reclaim the gaze and create narratives of their own. A creative group of women from Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Iraq, Kenya, Nigeria and Ethiopia share diverse perspectives to analyze their favorite movies, learn filmmaking skills and collaborate on original productions that add urgent personal nuance and depth to migration storytelling.

PurposeA well-funded, four-year integrated care programme was implemented in south London. The programme attempted to integrate care across primary, acute, community, mental health and social care. The purpose of this paper is to reduce hospital admissions and nursing home placements. Programme evaluation aimed to identify what worked well and what did not; lessons learnt; the value of integrated care investment.Design/methodology/approachQualitative data were obtained from documentary analysis, stakeholder interviews, focus groups and observational data from programme meetings. Framework analysis was applied to stakeholder interview and focus group data in order to generate themes.FindingsThe integrated care project had not delivered expected radical reductions in hospital or nursing home utilisation. In response, the scheme was reformulated to focus on feasible service integration. Other benefits emerged, particularly system transformation. Nine themes emerged: shared vision/case for change; interventions; leadership; relationships; organisational structures and governance; citizens and patients; evaluation and monitoring; macro level. Each theme was interpreted in terms of “successes”, “challenges” and “lessons learnt”.Research limitations/implicationsEvaluation was hampered by lack of a clear evaluation strategy from programme inception to conclusion, and of the evidence required to corroborate claims of benefit.Practical implicationsKey lessons learnt included: importance of strong clinical leadership, shared ownership and inbuilt evaluation.Originality/valuePrimary care was a key player in the integrated care programme. Initial resistance delayed implementation and related to concerns about vertical integration and scepticism about unrealistic goals. A focus on clinical care and shared ownership contributed to eventual system transformation.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the preoperative use of antibiotics in children and adolescents requiring appendectomy. Data source: Integrative review was performed in the MEDLINE, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences (LILACS) and Cochrane databases and the PubMed portal, with no time limit. The keywords used were: appendicitis, child, adolescent and antibacterial with Boolean AND. The articles included were published in Portuguese, English or Spanish and whose participants were under 18 years of age. Review articles and guidelines were excluded. The studies were classified according to their level of evidence and 24 papers were selected. Data collection and analysis: Seven randomized clinical trial studies (level of evidence II), eight cohorts (level III), seven retrospective observational studies (level V) and two historical documentary analysis (level IV) were selected. The studies addressed antibiotics used in acute appendicitis in both uncomplicated and complicated cases. Antibiotics initiated in the preoperative period showed a decrease in the rates of surgical wound infections. First-line (empiric) regimens were tested for sensitivity to microorganisms in peritoneal material cultures, however the results were controversial. Broad-spectrum antibiotics have been suggested in some studies because they have good coverage, but in others they have not been recommended because of the risk of developing bacterial resistance. Shorter administration time and earlier change to the oral route reduced hospitalization time. Conclusions: There are several clinical protocols with different antibiotics. However, there is no standardization concerning the type of antibiotic drug, time of use, or route.

Introduction: Suicidal behavior in teenagers constitutes a health problem that, given the necessary measures of social isolation taken by the global emergency of the COVID-19 pandemic, must generate timely actions for its prevention and control from the public health services. Objective: To propose an action plan for the prevention of suicide in teenagers of the Remedios municipality, subjected to voluntary home confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out in the “XXX Anniversary” Teaching Community Polyclinic of the municipality Remedios. We worked with the population of 25 teenagers between 12 and 19 years old who made suicide attempts in the period 2019-2021. The empirical methods used were: bibliographic and documentary review, participant observation, focus group, semi-structured interview and questionnaire. Results: The suicide attempt was common in female teenagers aged 17 to 19 years not identified as risk, the lack of motivation due to the study activity and the previous suicide attempts by ingesting psychotropic drugs without serious intention of dying predominated. The most frequent psychological disorders were emotional disorders, stress, depression, irritability, apathy and insomnia. Actions are presented for the prevention of suicide and promote behaviors that contribute to mental health in the context of COVID-19. Conclusion: The prevention of suicidal behavior in teenagers in conditions of social isolation due to COVID-19, must include actions that facilitate the coping with stress, intra-family communication and resilience.

ABSTRACTJumantik plays a role in the early vigilance system to monitor the presence and inhibit the development of the Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (Dengue) mosquito vector. Jumantik cadres are expected to be active in monitoring their environment to reduce the number of dengue cases. However, in 2020 there will be an increase in dengue cases in South Kuta. This study purposed to determine the correlation between the role of jumantik and the incidence of dengue fever at the UPTD Puskesmas Kuta Selatan. This study used observational quantitative research with a cross-sectional design. The sample amounted to 67 jumantik selected by total sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire and documentary sheet of DHF case reports. Data analysis used Rank Spearman's test. It was found that the majority of jumantik's role was good (77.6%) and the incidence of dengue fever decreased (74.6%). The analysis shows that there is a significant relationship between the role of jumantik and the incidence of dengue fever in the UPTD Puskesmas Kuta Selatan with a moderate and positive correlation, which means the better the role of jumantik in carrying out their duties. The better the jumantik work, the incidence of dengue fever decreases (p value 0.002 <α 0.05 and coefficient correlation of 0, 427).

Objective: To evaluate the maternal and perinatal outcomes associated with COVID-19 during pregnancy, in women who attended the isolation service of the Hospital Central de San Cristóbal, in the period August 2020-July 2021. Methods: Retrospective or ex post facto, observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study with documentary design. It included a non-probabilistic sample of 30 patients admitted with a suspected or confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19. Medical records were reviewed to identify maternal and perinatal evolution. Results: The frequency of COVID-19 was 0.5 cases per 100 pregnant women. All 30 patients had a confirmed diagnosis. There were 16 mild cases (53.3%), 5 moderate (16.7%) and 9 severe (30%). The predominant symptoms were cough and shortness of breath (100%), headache (96.7%) and fever (90%). There was an increase in ferritin in 100 % of the cases, D-dimer in 33.3 % and LDH in 90 %. Severe evolution was not associated with known risk factors. There were obstetric complications in 90 % of the patients, the most frequent were preterm birth (40%) and oligohydramnios (36.7 %). There were 6 maternal deaths (20.0 %). The evolution of the disease was unsatisfactory in 46.7 % of the patients, with 40 % of admission to the intensive care unit and 30 % of ventilatory support. The caesarean section rate was 86.7 %. 70 % of the RNs progressed satisfactorily. There were 7 perinatal deaths (23.3 %). Conclusion: COVID-19 is associated with adverse maternal and perinatal evolution. Keywords: COVID-19, Pregnancy, Maternal outcome, Perinatal outcome.

Most of the world community has become a modern society, modernization has a positive impact in facilitating daily activities, and it is closely related to consumer behavior (consumerism) which is embraced by the society consciously or unconsciously. This research describes how Islam views the consumerism. The method that used in this research is descriptive qualitative, which describes the phenomena that exist about consumerism in Islamic perspective. The type of qualitative research that used in this study is the study of documents or texts, which are studies of written documentary material in the form of textbooks, manuscripts, articles, and its kind. Data analysis procedure before in the field is to analyze result on the preliminary observational study. The analysis during the field uses Miles and Huberman's model analysis, which suggests that the activities and analysis of qualitative data are carried out interactively and continuously until completion, thus the data is already saturated. Data analysis consist data collection, data reduction, data presentation, andanalysis/conclusion. The results shows that consumerism is excessive andirrational consumption behavior that prioritizes desires rather than needs by not prioritizing benefits that tend to be wasteful, satisfaction, and self-recognition. For Islamic perspective, consumerism is forbidden because it belongs to excessive behavior, is only oriented to worldly satisfaction and arrogance. Islam teaches consumption behavior that embraces the understanding of balance in various aspects, according to needs and has a value of benefits in accordance with rationality, which means that if properly understood the concept of consumption taught by Islam then humans can limit their desires in accordance with the needs and benefits that lead to the reduced behavior wasteful, miserly, and arrogant behavior.

RESUMOObjetivo: analisar o fluxo do principal recurso material utilizado em sala operatória de um hospital universitário. Método: trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, descritivo, documental e observacional realizado em um hospital universitário. Executaram-se duas etapas: análise documental dos recursos materiais utilizados em sala operatória; e construção e análise descritiva do fluxograma do material elencado. Catalogaram-se, posteriormente, esses recursos, armazenando-os em um banco de dados no Microsoft® Excel, versão 2016, para a realização da análise descritiva. Resultados: revelou-se que os materiais mais utilizados foram gaze e compressa com 3.415 e 3.325 unidades, respectivamente. Evidenciaram-se, pelo fluxograma, 44 etapas, 10 departamentos envolvidos e 15 processos documentais mapeados. Conclusão: observou-se que a falta de compressa resultou em compras emergenciais para garantir o funcionamento do setor e o fluxo institucional. A aquisição de materiais é complexa, burocrática e morosa. Pode-se minimizar a falta dos recursos materiais com uma inserção mais evidente do enfermeiro no planejamento em sala operatória.

ABSTRACTObjective: to analyze the flow of the main material resource used in an operating room of a university hospital. Method: this is a qualitative, descriptive, documentary and observational study carried out in a university hospital. The two initial phases were: documentary analysis of the material resources used in the operating room; and construction and descriptive analysis of the flowchart with the material listed. These resources were subsequently cataloged and stored in a database using Microsoft® Excel, version 2016, in order to perform the descriptive analysis. Results: it was found that the most used materials were gauzes and compresses, with 3,415 and 3,325 units, respectively. The flowchart indicated 44 phases, 10 departments involved, and 15 mapped processes. Conclusion: it was observed that the lack of compresses resulted in emergency purchases aimed at maintaining the operation of the sector and the institutional flow. The acquisition of materials is complex, bureaucratic, and time-consuming. The lack of material resources can be minimized with a more evident insertion of nurses in operating room planning.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In this paper I discuss the ways in which Bruce Baillie’s Mass for the Dakota Sioux (1964) and Quixote (1965) evoke Native American Indian heritage and western-hero road poems by challenging the concept of the American landscape and incorporating conventions traditionally associated with cinéma pur, cinéma vérité, and the city symphony. Both pictures, seen as largely ambiguous and ironic travelogue forms, expose their audiences to “the sheer beauty of the phenomenal world” (Sitney 2002: 182) and nurture nostalgic feelings for the lost indigenous civilizations, while simultaneously reinforcing the image of an American conquistador, hence creating a strong sense of dialectical tension. Moreover, albeit differing in a specific use of imagery and editing, the films rely on dense, collage-like and often superimposed images, which clearly contribute to the complexity of mood conveyed on screen and emphasize the striking conceptual contrast between white American and Indian culture. Taking such an assumption, I argue that although frequently referred to as epic road poems obliquely critical of the U.S. westward expansion and manifest destiny, the analyzed works’ use of plot reduction, observational and documentary style as well as kinaesthetic visual modes and rhythmic editing derive primarily from the cinéma pur’s camerawork, the cinéma vérité’s superstructure, and the city symphony’s spatial arrangement of urban environments. Such multifaceted inspirations do not only diversify Mass’ and Quixote’s non-narrative aesthetics, but also help document an intriguing psychogeography of the 1960s American landscapes, thus making a valuable contribution to the history of experimental filmmaking dealing with Native American Indian heritage.
