A woman is shown walking down a corridor towards a lift, while tracking shots reveal she is the killer. When she and a man enter the lift together, the power cuts out and strange noises are heard before the man is stabbed through the roof by an unknown assailant. When the lift reaches the bottom, only blood remains.Q2 evaluation

Class and status are different, as shown in films like "Ill Manors" where cockney drug addicts have high status over others through violence and intimidation, despite their low class. Age also determines status, as the young girl is shot from above, clutching a teddy bear to show her insecurity and lack of importance. While violence gives characters status amongst each other, their status is still low compared to more educated people, as implied by the bloodied bat that represents settling disputes through violence rather than discussion.5 screen grabs

Thriller films are usually based on conflict that disrupts equilibrium and leads to suspense and action. They often involve a protagonist seeking justice, while the antagonist is shown negatively but may explain their actions at the end. Thriller films use dark lighting, quick cuts, suspenseful music, and close-ups to emphasize emotion and the chaos of action scenes. Drama films exhibit real-life situations and exaggerated storylines to entertain, aiming to amplify emotion in audiences. They use dull lighting, emphasis on realism, dramatic music, and tense scenes.

The short film Lovefield by Mathieu Ratthe manipulates the audience by initially making them think it is a thriller about a woman who is murdered in a field by a man, through the use of ominous music, lighting, camerawork, and costumes that make the man seem threatening. However, it is later revealed that the man actually helps the woman give birth to her baby, subverting the audience's expectations and supporting Todorov's theory that films create an initial equilibrium, a disruption, and then a new resolution.Analysis of Jessabelle trailer

Blind Spots in AI and Formulation Science Knowledge Pyramid (Updated Perspect...Ajaz Hussain
油
This presentation delves into the systemic blind spots within pharmaceutical science and regulatory systems, emphasizing the significance of "inactive ingredients" and their influence on therapeutic equivalence. These blind spots, indicative of normalized systemic failures, go beyond mere chance occurrences and are ingrained deeply enough to compromise decision-making processes and erode trust.
Historical instances like the 1938 FD&C Act and the Generic Drug Scandals underscore how crisis-triggered reforms often fail to address the fundamental issues, perpetuating inefficiencies and hazards.
The narrative advocates a shift from reactive crisis management to proactive, adaptable systems prioritizing continuous enhancement. Key hurdles involve challenging outdated assumptions regarding bioavailability, inadequately funded research ventures, and the impact of vague language in regulatory frameworks.
The rise of large language models (LLMs) presents promising solutions, albeit with accompanying risks necessitating thorough validation and seamless integration.
Tackling these blind spots demands a holistic approach, embracing adaptive learning and a steadfast commitment to self-improvement. By nurturing curiosity, refining regulatory terminology, and judiciously harnessing new technologies, the pharmaceutical sector can progress towards better public health service delivery and ensure the safety, efficacy, and real-world impact of drug products.

Speaker: Aalok Sonawala
The SWWE Regional Network were very pleased to welcome Aalok Sonawala, Head of PMO, National Programmes, Rider Levett Bucknall on 26 February, to BAWA for our first face to face event of 2025. Aalok is a member of APMs Thames Valley Regional Network and also speaks to members of APMs PMO Interest Network, which aims to facilitate collaboration and learning, offer unbiased advice and guidance.
Tonight, Aalok planned to discuss the importance of a PMO within project-based organisations, the different types of PMO and their key elements, PMO governance and centres of excellence.
PMOs within an organisation can be centralised, hub and spoke with a central PMO with satellite PMOs globally, or embedded within projects. The appropriate structure will be determined by the specific business needs of the organisation. The PMO sits above PM delivery and the supply chain delivery teams.

Saw VI analysis
- 1. Saw VI analysis The scene opens with showing the woman character in low key lighting, this is a convention of a thriller film as it gives the scene a sinister effect. Her facial expression illustrates she is worried and upset, this links with the stereotypical woman; vulnerable and weak. Also this part is filmed at an angle where she is behind the fencing, this shows she is trapped in the room and feels isolated. An establishing shot is used to show the setting. It shows the props on the table, a butchers knife, sharp knife and a tube, these items are usually associated with brutal murders. The props are almost in a spotlight, this illustrates theyre a main part in the scene. It also shows the two characters trapped in cages and the low key lighting in the room.
- 2. An extreme close up is used to show the nails screwing into their heads. Diegetic dialogue is also used at this point as the characters are screaming due to the intense pain. The male character uses diegetic dialogue and shouts Im not dying for you, bitch, this shows he is aggressive towards women. Also a non - diegetic soundtrack is used to start building tension in the scene. A mid shot is used to show the woman trying to delay cutting her arm off, whereas the man has already cut two parts of his body off for the machine to help get the device off of his head. Stereotypically women are weak and vulnerable, and men are stereotypically strong and tough, the stereotypes are matched in this part of the scene. Also pleonastic sound is used, dramatic music is a thriller convention which is used to build tension in the scene.
- 3. Towards the end of the opening scene the woman picks up the butchers knife and cuts her arm off, then she wins the battle. This contradicts the womans stereotype, normally seen as weak and vulnerable (which was shown at the start) yet she beats the man which makes him weak and vulnerable. Rapid editing is used towards the end of the opening scene, this is done to speed up the scene and also to build tension. In terms of editing the woman has prevalence and she gets the final shot in the opening scene, usually the man is the most shown in a TV drama or a film, this is going against the stereotype of a weak woman and it is showing her as a powerful character.
