L'Avenir [The Future] by Camille Laurens (1998) and Vast is the Prison by Assia Djebar (1995) are two novels characterized by their absence of linearity on a narrative level as well as a chronological level. This article focuses on the articulation between I and she, auto and fiction, present and past, literary language and cinematic language. It seeks to show how this dual structure provides a shape-shifting, transmedial aspect to the novels being examined, out of which emerges an oxymoric, hybrid narrative better able to reflect the complexity of the female identity. The cinematic language is not simply used to enhance the literay quality of the writing. On the contrary, it plays a significant role in making the narrative more complex and, by doing so, not only replicates at the micro level (content) the dialectics that can be observed at the micro level (form or narrative structure), but also contributes to (re)framing narrative identities. The cinematic language therefore delimits the range of the camera in which the female subject is evolving. At the same time, the reverse angle shot, which acts as a counter-narrative, enables the female subject to reflect on her past self while heralding what is left outside the scope of the camera and is yet to be seen.

This chapter uses the trajectory of the Southern African Development Community (“SADC”) Tribunal to chart sociopolitical constraints on international judicial lawmaking. It studies the SADC Tribunal backlash case, which paved the way for a curtailment of the Tribunal’s authority, stripping the Tribunal of both private access and its jurisdiction over human rights. Showing how jurisprudential engagement with sociopolitical context plays a significant role in explaining the Tribunal's loss of authority, the chapter introduces the concept of sociopolitical dissonance. Sociopolitical dissonance is a state that results when a legal decision contradicts or undermines deeply held norms that a given society or community forms on the basis of its social, political, and economic history. Sociopolitical resonance, on the other hand, describes the quality of affirming or according with a given society's norms as informed by its sociopolitical history.

The Relationship

Abstract Autism is a set of heterogeneous neurodevelopmental conditions, characterised by early-onset difficulties in social communication and restricted, repetitive behaviour and interests. The worldwide population prevalence is about 1% with an increasing incidence and prevalence rates. Autism affects more male than female individuals, and comorbidity is common (>70% have concurrent conditions). Determinants of these changes in incidence and prevalence rates may also be related to exposure to environmental factors and to modifications in diagnostic concepts and criteria. In spite of the uncertainty in determinants of incidence of autisms, there is evidence that environmental characteristics play a significant role both as autism risk factors and as potential obstacles that influence the capabilities of autonomously and fully “using” everyday spaces. The workshop aims to provide a framework on risk factors of autism and explore the relationship with the built environment, focusing on the quality of the everyday spaces and projecting the effects that it could have in the long term on achieving a desirable level of quality of life. The 11th Sustainable Development Goals of United Nations “Make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable” underlines the necessity of designing policies and projects acting to enhance and promote healthy cities and communities by addressing the needs of the most vulnerable groups of inhabitants. Herewith we bring together the discipline of Public Health and Urban Design to promote an interdisciplinary debate on a little explored topic investigating how the approaches adopted during childhood to promote the wellbeing of people with ASD can be related or strengthen by focusing also on built environment design intervention to pursue and reach the same objectives even during adulthood. The workshop will consist of four presentations. The first focuses on giving an overview on current knowledge of intervention for people with autism, presenting also criteria for evidence-based interventions. The second explores the relationship between autism and built environment by providing an exhaustive framework of the available research literature in order to identify a first set of spatial requirements for autism friendly cities. The third examines the impact of built environment on ASD users with the aim of developing a specific evaluation tool for healthcare spaces and best practices formulation according to the specific sensorial hypo- or hyper-activation of people with autism. Finally, the fourth reports the results of a two years Research & Development project called “GAP REDUCE” finalized at developing an Assistive Technology tool to support people with ASD, adult and high-functioning, to plan urban itineraries towards daily destinations. Key messages World's incidence of autism is about 1% with an increasing incidence whose determining rates may also be related to environmental factors and to modifications in diagnostic concepts and criteria. Environmental characteristics play a significant role also as potential obstacles that influence the capabilities of people with autism of autonomously and fully “using” everyday spaces.

The well-chosen inventory policy has a great impact on the performance of production and logistics processes, because it can influence not only the reliability, the cost efficiency, and the sustainability of the processes and resources, but packaging system can force the quality of products and processes. Within the frame of this article an exchange curve-based analysis method of packaging related inventory policy is described. This analysis method makes it possible to highlight the problems in inventory policy and find an improve solution in both macro- and micro-level. The computation method is based on the exchange of annual order cost and average inventory investment, especially in the case of economic order quantity-based packaging order policies.

Manufacturing Techniques

There is a corresponding and complementary relationship among the three manufacturing techniques/processes—lean, green, and six-sigma—in premise of Industry 4.0. The three manufacturing techniques assist the managers for big data analysis of industrial wastes/byproducts and its corresponding influences over industries. The practiced manufacturing techniques are functioning for managing and controlling wastes, operations, and quality of product, respectively. It is perceived that lean especially focus is to recognize the several wastes, produced by miscellaneous organizational practices in premise of Industry 4.0. On the other hand, green assists the managers to map the environmental practices/consequences. The present research focuses attention on ‘greening' through life cycle assessment to fill this gap and to assess the environmental impacts of the generated waste. Nevertheless, lean and green when conjoined become enabling to identify the waste and evaluate environmental impact but both encompass no motive to reduce the enhanced quality of product and reducing micro level wastes. Six-sigma is exhibited as the preeminent methods in order to overcome the determined gaps in present research work.

The Aesthetic

This chapter addresses the aesthetic of black-and-white filmmaking in the digital age, with special attention to the ways in which the black-and-white image manifests its perceptual otherness in between the analogue and the digital, the natural and the artificial, the cinematic and the photographic. Through examples taken from contemporary Polish and Czech cinema, including Hi, Tereska! (Cześć, Tereska, Robert Gliński, 2001), The Reverse (Rewers, Borys Lankosz, 2009), Ida (Paweł Pawlikowski, 2013), Papusza (Joanna Kos-Krauze and Krzysztof Krauze, 2013), Cold War (Zimna wojna, Paweł Pawlikowski, 2018) and I, Olga Hepnarová (Já, Olga Hepnarová, Tomáš Weinreb and Petr Kazda, 2016), it discusses the uses and functions of the black-and-white image rendering female identity caught in the grip of Eastern European history. The black-and-white image is often associated with high artistry and the photographic quality of film; accordingly, the emphasis is laid on photographic compositions, static shots, long takes and tableau moments, which confer on the digital monochrome subtle sensations of intermediality.

The use of electronic technologies in government services has played a significant role in making citizens’ lives more convenient. Even though the transition to digital governance has great advantages for the quality of government services it may be accompanied with many security threats. One of the major threats and hardest security problems e-Government faces are the Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. DoS attacks have already taken some of the most popular e-government sites off-line for several hours causing enormous losses and repair costs. In this chapter, important incidents of DoS attacks and results from surveys that indicate the seriousness of the problem are presented. In order to limit the problem of DoS attacks in government organisations we also present a list of best practices that can be used to combat the problem together with a classification of attacks and defense mechanisms.

Alcoholic Drinks

The purpose of this study was to explore the factors that influence the purchase and consumption of alcohol among university students in Malawi. The study sought to recommend strategies that can promote the marketing of alcohol among university students aged 18 and above. Results show that of the 138 respondents, 109 (72% males and 28% females) agreed that they consume alcohol. The study indicates that quality of alcohol influences most students to consume alcohol. In addition, promotions that emphasise on price cuts and special offers have a positive impact on the marketing of alcohol among students. Notable also are subjective social norms which play a significant role in influencing students to consume alcohol with friends other than alone.

This study presents the results of laboratory experiments that were performed to simulate the positions of mussel shocks which were selected aiming at the optimization of the quality of mussels’ production in mussel farming areas. The mussel shocks were studied in natural scale. Velocity measurements were taken upstream of two successive mussel shocks and for different positions in relation to the central axis of the channel and different distances between the shocks for three different mean velocities. Based on the results of several numbers of experiments, the main conclusion of this study was that the position and the distance between the mussel shocks play a significant role to the quality of mussels’ production in mussel farming areas. This is due to the fact that the different distances between the mussel shocks influence the velocities and the eddies around them.

The perceived benefits of English-medium instruction (EMI), such as greater competitiveness of universities, are the reasons why meso- and macro-level stakeholders in Croatian higher education (HE) seek to implement it. Nevertheless, the overall adoption of EMI has been rather slow, resulting in only 3% of study programmes in English. Such a small number has sparked no public or scholarly resistance to this aspect of Englishization. On the micro level, however, the introduction of EMI has provoked a range of different reactions, from favourable attitudes to concerns over the quality of education and the status of Croatian in academia. Evidence for these views were gleaned from the studies conducted at the University of Rijeka, Croatia.
