Chapter 3 focuses on The Act of Killing (Joshua Oppenheimer, Christine Cynn and anonymous), a film that opens up uncharted territory on which to recast the tenets of documentary, world cinema and filmmaking in general. It required the crew to put their lives at risk in the name of a project they hoped would change the way we experience cinema and reality with it. The film’s realist commitment emerges from where it is least expected, namely from Hollywood genres, such as the musical, the film noir and the western, which are used as documentary, or a fantasy realm where perpetrators can confess to their crimes without restraints or fear of punishment, but which retains the evidentiary weight of the recording medium.

This chapter focuses on the exploitative nature of Instagram as a community-based platform. Individual users build, maintain, and participate in communities as a way to connect with experiences and insights that resonate with them. Because users are motivated by different gratifications and are met with social support along the way, brands can use influencers to exploit the community-based practices (i.e., liking, sharing, and curating content) to access a variety of data points from users. Ultimately, users' data is routinely at risk as a byproduct of this subversive use of the platform.

The Way

The breech presentation of the foetus is noted in approximately 3 percentages of all deliveries and the way they are assessed constitutes an important issue in contemporary obstetrics. In order to recognize the breech position the leopold’s holds are used as well as foetal pulse rate auscultation, cardiotocography (CTG) and ultrasonography (USG), which helps determine the foetal weight and condition. Assisting the delivery of the foetus being in the breech position requires a few exceptional methods of help among which we can find some manual ones named cowjanow – Bracht and veit – Smelly. In the case of hands abandonment, their release is achieved either through a classical method called muller’s fluctuations or lovset’s method. When the life of a foetus or a mother is at risk, manual foetus extraction (extractio manualis fetus) is recommended. Nowadays, all breech positions in primigravidas receive the recommendation for the caesarian section. when the position appears in multigravidas and the pregnancy proceeds with no complications and the foetal weight is normal, the delivery might be natural with the manual help. It, however, calls for a continuous education of the obstetrical staff namely residents.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected millions of people across the globe and an equal number of people are at risk of contracting this disease. It has brought life to a standstill with people closing their businesses and adopting social distancing measures. Many countries/cities are under lockdown to contain the disease. To control this situation, the world has come together to combat this disease and return life back to normalcy. While many people are at their homes practicing social distancing, there are a few heroes which include healthcare professionals, law enforcement officers, volunteers etc. This short commentary focuses on the way COVID-19 has shaped the world and salutes its true heroes.

Policies And Practices

This article explores how a ‘regime of truth’ about Muslim youth has been historically produced through the underlying logic of Australia’s counter-terrorism and countering violent extremism (CVE) policies and practices. The article is divided into three parts. I first look at how the pre-emptive logic of countering the ‘becoming terrorist’ constitutes young Australian Muslims. I then interrogate the way CVE has constituted Australian Muslims as a self-contained space, a governmental population divided between ‘moderates’ and ‘extremists’. Lastly, I discuss how CVE operates as a technique of governmentality in the way that it deploys grants programs to foster the ‘conduct of conduct’ of Muslim subjects within this self-contained racialised space. I argue that the central organising logic of community partnership has been the targeting of the conditions of emergence of ‘extremist’ Muslim subjects, thereby guaranteeing the racialisation of Muslim youth as always at-risk, marked with the ‘potential’ of ‘becoming terrorist’.

From the reading of numerous press releases, one may deduce that Japan is a country more and more dedicated to a ‘robot world’. Previously, robots were hidden in plants confined within difficult or dangerous tasks: nowadays robots make themselves visible: humanoids and androids offer home services for elderly. Such a situation is questioning the nature of relationships between human beings and humanoids and highlights how we can understand the human’s position and identity. In becoming part of a family, we could presume that robots should be considered in the position of a child with his or her parent establishing an amazing couple. We will refer to the works of a renowned psychoanalyst Donald Woods Winnicott to understand the way a child may receive the best conditions to become a mature and independent adult. A child when becoming an adolescent is at risk to show possible antisocial behaviours, as symptoms of delinquency. Human beings would certainly prefer the option of an absolute dependence from their robot-child, keeping it waiting in a sort of perpetual adolescence. In that way, human beings would feel more secure not to be challenged in their unshared human hood. Conversely, humans challenging machines and imagining cyber-bodies are to be found in performances and sports events. Researchers consider that robots would emancipate and create a life of their own. Doing so, they seem to offer new opportunities for developing human creativity, eluding the inexpressible threat: shall humanoids overtake human beings in their capacity to run a creative life?

I suggest that the main reason why people choose to act in a way that puts them at risk is because their concept of the future is different from that of those who give them advice. We ask people to desist from behaviour which is immediately rewarding, offering as an alternative a reduction in the probability that they will become unwell in the future, the future being a decade or more from the point at which the decision must be made.... Although this hypothesis is difficult to test, the change in the way in which the consequences of cigarette smoking are presented (the fact emphasised is that cigarettes make one unattractive to kiss now rather than that they cause illness in ten or twenty years) shows that it has already been adopted by some health educators. I do not know whether it is possible to give an air of immediacy to the reasons for preventive medicine. I do say, however, that our inability to persuade people to adopt the means by which they can decrease the probability of illness, pain, and premature death requires a new approach to postpone immediate gratification for the offer of a possible reward in an inconceivable future.

This concluding chapter explores alternative lessons that can be drawn up from the Trojan Horse affair, presenting two tragedies that are bound up together in the affair. One tragedy is the disruption of the lives of teachers and governors in Birmingham, who made such a difference to the prospects of the pupils under their care, and were unjustly accused of placing them at risk. The educational opportunities of pupils at the school were very significantly damaged because of the way in which the DfE intervened. The second tragedy is that it has made it more difficult to realise the rights to educational opportunities more generally of young people from Muslim backgrounds — opportunities and rights that are theirs as British citizens and which are regarded as key to long term community cohesion. That is the failure of ‘British values’ that the Birmingham Trojan Horse case exposes.

SummarySafeguarding adults is everybody's business, and it is now standard practice for clinicians to undertake safeguarding training as part of their mandatory training in the UK. Nevertheless, safeguarding work is complex and can involve significant dilemmas for professionals. The Care Act 2014 has introduced a number of differences in the way safeguarding is approached, emphasising the overall well-being and choice of the patient rather than merely focusing on their safety. This paper sets out to illustrate evolving safeguarding demand and practice, and aid clinicians in protecting people at risk by describing how they can approach challenging presentations.Declaration of interestNone.
