The author of this article makes a comparative interpretation of Tadeusz Różewicz’s novella Piwo [Beer] and its film adaptation directed by Stanisław Różewicz. Among other things, the researcher asks the question: to what extent do the differences between the film material and the text material – in this particular case – stem from the specificity of the film language and its autonomy in relation to literature? He believes that this can be explained by the fact that the action of the film takes place only in the station’s waiting room; the movement between the inn and the station, undoubtedly justified in the case of the original text, would be for the viewer something illegible and disturbing to the sequence of events. The multilevel linguistic code forcing symbolic readings, so important in Różewicz’s prose, seems, however, not to be translatable (at least not in its entirety) into the language of the image, which enforces a number of other artistic solutions. It seems that the film work here speaks the language of symbols on a different level.

Purpose: The study aims to explore the similarities and dissimilarities between William Shakespeare’s Macbeth and its film adaptation Maqbool by Vishal Bhardwaj. The study also aims to compare both the film and the play in terms of politics and power from a psychoanalytic perspective. Methodology/ Approach: This study is based on thematic analysis and the main changes when the original play is adapted to film, in order to check the variation from stage to screen. Adaptation theory, Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalysis theory are used in this analysis. Bollywood movie Maqbool (2003) by director Vishal Bhardwaj and William Shakespeare’s great tragedy Macbeth (1606) are used as primary sources for this analysis.  Findings: The result of the analysis indicates that film and drama are entirely different. When an original play is adapted into film, there are many merits and demerits.Shakespeare mounded more on poetic language than on spectacle and other scenic devices to create the necessary emotional effect. The Elizabethan theatre gores were more audiences than spectators. But the modern spectators habituated to the computer-generated technique of cinematography expect something considerably different. The result is that when the text of the play is converted into a screenplay, there will be a remarkable reduction in the number of spoken words because mainstream cinema depends for its effect largely on visual rather than dialogue. However, the director maintained the originality of play despite the additions and reductions. Conclusion: The paper throws light on the main changes from English Renaissance theatre to contemporary modern world or theatre. It depicts the Psychological behavioural differences and the power and political structures of the two different periods. The paper suggests that film adaptation is an effective and attractive tool to maintain the value and to understand the original text.

Resumen El presente trabajo aborda la recepción de Carne trémula (entendida como novela y adaptación cinematográfica) en cuatro diarios españoles (El País, El Mundo, La Vanguardia y ABC) entre los años 1986 (año de publicación de la novela original en Inglaterra) y la actualidad. Nos proponemos: analizar cómo trata la prensa española las divergencias entre el texto original y la adaptación fílmica; en segundo lugar, pretendemos analizar la mayor o menor presencia de la escritora original (Ruth Rendell, 1930-2015) en la cultura meta. Por último, queremos aportar las primeras pinceladas sobre el papel de la prensa en la proyección de una imagen de un determinado autor/a como elemento esencial en todo estudio de recepción. Paradójicamente, por medio  de una localización del texto inglés en su adaptación cinematográfica Almodóvar conseguiría proyectarse una cierta imagen global, siendo la prensa también responsable de ello.  This paper analyses the reception of Carne trémula (understood both as novel and film adaptation) in four Spanish newspapers (El País, El Mundo, La Vanguardia y ABC) from 1986 (year of publication of the original novel in England) until today. Our aim is to study how the Spanish press deals with both original text and film adaptation; Secondly, we delve into the presence of the original writer (Ruth Rendell, 1930-2015) in the target culture. Finally, we provide the first hints about the role of the press in projecting a particular authorial image as an essential element in any study about reception. Paradoxically, by means of a 'localisation' of the English text, Almodóvar would earn a certain global image for which the press is also responsible.

The article studies an issue of the film adaptation of a literary work. The issue posed is considered on the example of N.V. Gogol work. In particular, on the example of his drama. These are such works as “The Inspector General”, “The Marriage”, “The Players”. In their time those works were translated by the authors from literary into cinematic language: the screen version of “The Inspector General” by V.M. Petrov (1952), “Incognito from Petersburg” by L.I. Gaidai (1977), “The Marriage” by V.V. Melnikov (1977), “The Inspector General” by S.I. Gazarov (1996), “The Case of the ‘Dead Souls’ ” by P.S. Lungin (2005), “The Russian Game” by P.G. Chukhrai (2007). As a result it was found that when translated into the cinema language, Gogol’s interpretations reveal new meanings that are expressed at the level of genre (the elements of a western in “The Russian Game” or a detective genre in Lungin’s film), plot (referring to the plots of several works at once), images (character replacement), details (garlands on the windows in Petrov’s “The Inspector General”), as well as stylistics, symbols, metaphors (apples and red in “Marriage”, for example). The above is emphasized by the authors through the use of specific film-language techniques. These are eccentrics, shooting at an angle, subjectivity, panoramas, etc. Postmodern techniques, used by interpreters to recreate the space of grotesque, intertextuality, and absurdity, also become interesting.

Electrolytic lesions of the pituitary stalk in rats interrupt adenohypophysial blood flow and result in massive infarction of the anterior lobe. In order to obtain a deeper insight into the morphogenesis of tissue injury and to reveal the sequence of events, a fine structural investigation was undertaken on adenohypophyses of rats at various intervals following destruction of the pituitary stalk.The pituitary stalk was destroyed electrolytically, with a Horsley-Clarke apparatus on 27 male rats of the R-Amsterdam strain, weighing 180-200 g. Thirty minutes, 1,2,4,6 and 24 hours after surgery the animals were perfused with a glutaraldehyde-formalin solution. The skulls were then opened and the pituitary glands removed. The anterior lobes were fixed in glutaraldehyde-formalin solution, postfixed in osmium tetroxide and embedded in Durcupan. Ultrathin sections were stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate and investigated with a Philips 300 electron microscope.

In intact skin the epidermal layer is a dynamic tissue component which is maintained by a basal layer of mitotically active cells. The protective upper epidermis, the stratum corneum, is generated by differentiation of the suprabasal keratinocytes which eventually desquamate as anuclear comeocytes. A similar sequence of events is observed in vitro in the non-contracting human skin equivalent (HSE) which was developed in this lab (1). As a part of the definition process for this model of living skin we are examining its ultrastructural features. Since desmosomes are important in maintaining cell-cell interactions in stratified epithelia their distribution in HSE was examined.

Exposure of the ciliate, Tetrahymena pyriformis, strain WH6, to normal human or rabbit sera or mouse ascites fluids induces the formation of large cytoplasmic bodies. By electron microscopy these (LB) are observed to be membrane-bounded structures, generally spherical and varying in size (Fig. 1), which do not resemble the food vacuoles of cells grown in proteinaceous broth. The possibility exists that the large bodies represent endocytic vacuoles containing material concentrated from the highly nutritive proteins and lipoproteins of the sera or ascites fluids. Tetrahymena mixed with bovine serum albumin or ovalbumin solutions having about the same protein concentration (7g/100 ml) as serum form endocytic vacuoles which bear little resemblance to the serum-induced LB. The albumin-induced structures (Fig. 2) are irregular in shape, rarely spherical, and have contents which vary in density and consistency. In this paper an attempt is made to formulate the sequence of events which might occur in the formation of the albumin-induced vacuoles.

One of the hallmarks of AD (Alzheimer's disease) is the formation of senile plaques in the brain, which contain fibrils composed of Aβ (amyloid β-peptide). According to the ‘amyloid cascade’ hypothesis, the aggregation of Aβ initiates a sequence of events leading to the formation of neurofibrillary tangles, neurodegeneration, and on to the main symptom of dementia. However, emphasis has now shifted away from fibrillar forms of Aβ and towards smaller and more soluble ‘oligomers’ as the main culprit in AD. The present chapter commences with a brief introduction to the disease and its current treatment, and then focuses on the formation of Aβ from the APP (amyloid precursor protein), the genetics of early-onset AD, which has provided strong support for the amyloid cascade hypothesis, and then on the development of new drugs aimed at reducing the load of cerebral Aβ, which is still the main hope for providing a more effective treatment for AD in the future.

This study was conducted based on the facts about the lack of maximal outcomes of learning English in almost all levels of education, especially in vocational school. Although English has been studied for many years, but the majority of students can not master English well, especially speaking. Many factors cause this phenomenon, and all parties should concern to work together to formulatebetter system and process of English learning at vocational school.The research was conducted at SMK Negeri 1 Pacitan, by taking the students of class XII as subjects research. The sample of this research consists of 94 students of Business Travel and Tourism,Network Computer Engineering, and Engineering Software classes. This research uses descriptive qualitative method. It is used to describe the students’ speaking competence, particularlyin presenting final task report. This research also identifies the internal and external functions to formulate a strategy to improve the students’s speaking competence. The results showed that based on the analysis of English speaking competency of SMK Negeri 1 Pacitan students, it can be concluded as follows: a). Based on the students absorption analysis of presenting final project report, shows that English competency level of students is in the category of “pretty”, with evidence of the studentsvalue average in presenting final project report is more than the passing grade value (7.50),it is 79.5. While the number of student, who passed the presentation test,is 66 students.So it can be obtained the percentage level of mastery learning students on the presentation test of final report is only 70.21%, and it is categorized “less”, because the percentage of students who passed this exam is still under 75%. b). While the analysis of the questionnaire can be scribed that the average overall score of 3.44 speaking competence components are categorized “pretty”, and it can be concluded that the level of competence of English speaking students generally categorized “enough”. Based on the level ofstudents’ English speaking competence , it can be formulated the strategies to increase its competence. They are: a). Maximizing the use of English as a language instruction and reducing the use of Indonesian, especially in the learning process, to improve English language competency, so that students can have the ability to explain the sequence of events and the students can pass the exam well. b). Having more English presentation activitiesin other topics to encourage the students’ bravery and self-confidence in speaking English, so that students have good Englishcompetence as preparation to getjobs or to continue their study at university.c). Having more exercise of using body language to improve the mastery of speech, and smooth attitude, so that students have good English competence,and they are able to compete in the global world in obtaining employment. d). And maximizing the use of school’s facilities by using various methods of learning, and focusing on the students’ center method to improve the studentsEnglish competency so that they are able to compete for educational scholarships in this country and abroad.
