Because graphic novels and film both contain a strong visual element, they continue to have an effect on each other’s development. Aspects from comics have been succesfully remediated into film, and vice-versa. There are, however, clear distinctions between the two mediums. This paper explores the adaptations of comics to film, noting how some film adaptations merely adapt the narrative, while others apply some of the aesthetic qualaties and visual communication tropes of the graphic novel into the film. Examples like “Dick Tracey”, “300”, and even more so, “Scott Pilgrim versus the World” show how remediation of comics in film can work. The more recent “Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse”, is probably the film which remediates comics better than any other film, including brief moments where juxtaposed panels showing sequential actions are used. This being, according to many comic scholars, the main defining feature of the comic medium. It is the trope which I will be exploring in more detail in further studies, attempting to remediate it into film in a way which reflects its use in comics more accurately. This paper serves as a literature review, which provides detailed understanding of the comic and film visual languages, the differences and similarities between them, and will be the basis upon which further research is built.

The conclusion looks forward from the Victorian illustrated book to the “graphic classics,” a form of modern popular culture that is arguably the heir of the Victorian illustrated book. Canonical texts adapted into graphic novel format are inheritors of the aesthetic conventions of caricature and realism, reshaped in a hyper-modern form to appeal to twenty-first-century readers. The chapter explores parallels between the serial and the comic book. It surveys graphic novel adaptations of nineteenth-century novels by Jane Austen, Charlotte and Emily Brontë, Charles Dickens, and Anthony Trollope as well as Neo-Victorian graphic novels (e.g. League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) and original Victorian-themed graphic novels (e.g. Batman Noël). The conclusion focuses on two important Victorian illustrated books—Dickens’s Oliver Twist (1838) and Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland (1865)—to demonstrate how graphic novel adaptation is reviving a genre that a century before recognized pictures play a central role in plot and character development. This chapter foregrounds author-illustrator Will Eisner, the father of the graphic novel and author-illustrator of Fagin the Jew (2003), for his direct challenge to a religious and ethnic stereotype that Dickens and Cruikshank develop in Oliver Twist and Du Maurier carries into Trilby.

The Creation

Studies have been conducted focusing on the role of trust, integrity, and reputation on the image and reputations of Islamic charities. But, these are not the only challenges faced by contemporary Waqf. While the world outside the Waqf institutions has changed, Awqaf are stuck in centuries-old procedures and management practices. This must change for Awqaf to be up to the challenges of modern world. This work focuses on proposing a mechanism that explains how possible it is for Awqaf to improve their image given their unique features and environment. The process through which Waqf improves its relationship with stakeholders such as donors, beneficiaries, and government is as important as other aspects of Waqf operation that have been traditionally covered by scholars. The methodology followed for conducting this work is mainly literature review and critical analysis of the state of Waqf in the Muslim world. Thus, the work is a deductive analysis in Islamic economics and marketing, borrowing from Islamic and conventional fields of marketing and branding.

ABSTRACTBackground: The important role of coastal communities is not directly in line with their living conditions, which are mostly poor. Dental caries is basically a disease that is also suffered by the general public in Indonesia, even in the world. RISKESDAS 2018 shows the prevalence of caries in Indonesia is 88.8%. Dental caries is caused by the bacterium Streptococcus mutans. People who live in coastal areas are at risk of suffering from dental caries. Brushing behavior also has a relationship with the incidence of dental caries. Method: All articles reviewed were obtained from Pubmed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar with a period of 10 years in full text. using the keywords behavior, caries, and coastal area.Result: Based on reviews from several journals, it was found that the brushing behavior of coastal communities was good, but the frequency of brushing teeth was not appropriate and the behavior of using drinking water had no known fluoride content. There are variations in the category of dental caries at the age level of people in coastal areas.Conclusion: Knowledge and healthy behavior can reduce the risk of dental caries related to the behavior of coastal communities, so that life productivity can be much better than ever.

Introduction e-Health is an innovative way to make health services more effective and efficient and application is increasing worldwide. e-Health represents a substantial ICT investment and its failure usually results in substantial losses in time, money (including opportunity costs) and effort. Therefore it is important to assess e-health readiness prior to implementation. Several frameworks have been published on e-health readiness assessment, under various circumstances and geographical regions of the world. However, their utility for the developing world is unknown. Methods A literature review and analysis of published e-health readiness assessment frameworks or models was performed to determine if any are appropriate for broad assessment of e-health readiness in the developing world. A total of 13 papers described e-health readiness in different settings. Results and Discussion Eight types of e-health readiness were identified and no paper directly addressed all of these. The frameworks were based upon varying assumptions and perspectives. There was no underlying unifying theory underpinning the frameworks. Few assessed government and societal readiness, and none cultural readiness; all are important in the developing world. While the shortcomings of existing frameworks have been highlighted, most contain aspects that are relevant and can be drawn on when developing a framework and assessment tools for the developing world. What emerged is the need to develop different assessment tools for the various stakeholder sectors. This is an area that needs further research before attempting to develop a more generic framework for the developing world.

This paper aims to prove that the manifestation of God's presence in the Old Testament (OT) is not something final. The climax of God's presence among His people is seen in the coming of Jesus into the world through the incarnation. Through this paper, it is explained that even though God is transcendent in Christian theology, He is also immanent at the same time. God's transcendence cannot be separated from his immanent nature and vice versa. The main data used in this research is through a literature review. The results obtained from the literature review were compiled through the Integrative Critical Analysis (ICA) approach to meet the research objectives. The main conclusion is, theologically, the Christian is the abode of the true God.

The article deals with one of the issues in the study of creolized text – the special features of graphic novels translation. These are explored based on the translation from Spanish into Russian made by the authors of the paper for the literary work Wrinkles (Spanish: Arrugas) written by Paco Roca. The authors consider cognitive discourse analysis to be the main approach to the translation of the abovementioned graphic novel. It gives an opportunity not only to justify the researchers’ translation decisions but also to convey the author’s idea and his personal perception of the world in a more complete and accurate way. The frame method, which is regarded as an adequate mode of the concept structural organization, makes it possible to build the sphere of concepts of the source text. The concepts of MEMORIA (memory) and VEJEZ (old age) are considered the key concepts of the graphic novel because, as it was found at the stage of pre-translation analysis, they create its artistic space. The frame analysis of the fundamental concepts of the source text and the identification of semantic correlations between the language representants make it possible to translate the researched literary work. Based on the research results, the authors draw a conclusion about the special features of graphic novels translation and the effectiveness of applying the cognitive discourse analysis to the translation of such works. The study concludes with an outline of the prospects for further research on graphic novels, a new literary genre that represents an unusual combination of fine art, literature and cinematography.

The Aesthetic

This article aims to explore, through a literature review, what may be termed ‘the aesthetic space’ and to draw comparison with dialogical theories. The word ‘aesthetic’ literally means to take in the world through the senses. The study is based on theories and related principles from the fields of education, philosophy and psychology and from those of the world of the creative arts in determining what is meant by ‘the aesthetic space’.  Simultaneously, comparison is drawn towards an aesthetic approach to communication and dialogical theory. To enter the ‘aesthetic space’ is to engage creatively with the senses and the process of meaning making. Besides a literature description,  the study examines, through focus groups, questionnaires and video-analysis tasks, the I-positions of two groups of professionals  (support and art workers) in analysing communicative agency in a deafblind/non-deafblind dyad engaging in an ‘aesthetic space encounter’. Creative approaches are recommended for people with deafblindness and their social partners to develop agency within communication in the deafblind field.  https://doi.org/10.21827/jdbsc.5.32573

Quantitative And Qualitative Methods

Research has shown that using graphic novels in the classroom is one of useful approaches to promote the understanding of learners especially for lengthy and difficult literature texts. This study reports the extent of graphic novel in facilitating students’ understanding of literature and the students’ perceptions towards using graphic novel in learning literature (L2) as compared to other genre of texts. This is a mixed method study which employs quantitative and qualitative methods to obtain data. The findings indicate that most students found that graphic novel helped them to enrich their vocabularies and understand the text better. The findings also reveal that students were attracted to the illustrations in the literature text in which this helps to boost their motivation to learn literature in the classroom. The findings provide useful insights for English as Second Language (ESL) teachers in incorporating and expanding the literature learning through graphic novels in the future. The findings also imply the need of ESL teachers to use graphic novels effectively in facilitating their teaching and learning of literature in L2 classrooms particularly to suit the 21<sup>st</sup> century teaching and learning.
