This research highlighted the space as an ambience that reflected the destiny of literary heroes and types of narrative consciousness. Šumadija’s villages and mountains in Milan Milićević’s stories stood out as humanized spaces of human will and imagination, Prince Miloš’s political power and community creative power, as spaces that participated in crea- tion a future Serbian cultural and historical identity. In Radoje Domanović’s rural tales, the narrative oscillation between idyllic and anti-utopian Šumadija revealed the narrator’s desire for vanished past and childhood. In Svetolik Ranković’s novels, the mountain was doubly marked, as a scene of real bandit events and as an ontological space of dreamed freedom, which mediated a literary turn in the experience of space – from mythopoetic to historical and psychophysiological perception of space. Since Čačak and Belgrade, as toponyms of psycho- physiological spatio-temporal intersection, expressed the irreconcilability of the heroes’ travel lines, Milutin Uskoković’s narrative in the novel Čedomir Ilić outlined a deep break in being and traces of homelessness within the modern subject. Šumadija became a point of discomfort and strangeness that needed to be overcome. Directing the interpretation towards the literary representation of Šumadija in Serbian prose of the late nineteenth and early-twentieth cen- turies, we noticed that the geographical and political-historical center of Serbian people did not coincide with Serbian literature and cultural topography: the center imaginatively eluded.

This paper deals with Jewish mobile multimedia cultural-heritage, root-diaspora tours and apps. The author presents and compares UNESCO Creative Cities Network of Central and Eastern Europe in which Jewish communities were numerous before the World War II – Budapest (Hungary), Kraków (Poland), Prague (Czech Republic), Kaunas (Lithuania). Also, article deals with other cities of Jewish cultural heritage that are not listed in UNESCO Creative Cities Network as Warsaw, Poland and Vilnius, Lithuania, but propose multimedia tours. I will analyse, how aspects of creative city are included and highlighted in multimedia tours and apps. Visiting of memory sites is very relevant aspect of memory culture, related to other creative and cultural industries – tourism, heritage, museums etc. Cityscape and sites of memory of the Holocaust as cultural topography materialize and embody traumas, regrets, and responsibility to remember past. Contemporary technologies as mobile multimedia tours and apps are designed to aid travellers and tourists to find heritage and other touristic objects in a map, it provides general practical information, as well as maps, photos, augmented reality, and Jewish itineraries. Herewith these new technologies are changing very deeply not only travelling habits or photography practices, they fundamentally transform our relation with cultural heritage and memory. Mobile phones became not only devices for communication, but also as digital prosthetic memory.

Understanding the topography of hospital safety culture is vital for developing, implementing, and monitoring the effectiveness of tailored safety programs. Since 2009, the Chinese version of the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ-C) has been introduced and administered to providers in many Taiwanese hospitals. The mean percentage of SAQ survey respondents who demonstrate attitudinal agreement within each of the SAQ domains, the percent agreement (PA) score, is used worldwide as the main parameter of safety culture surveys. However, several limitations within PA scoring have been identified. Our study sought to improve scoring methodology and develop a new graph layout for cultural topography presentation. A total of 37,163 responses to a national SAQ-C administration involving 200 Taiwan hospitals were retrospectively analyzed. To understand the central tendency and spread of safety culture scores across all participating hospitals, the median and interquartile range (IQR) of PA scores to the SAQ’s teamwork domain were calculated, plotted, and named “safety culture grid.” Study results denote limitations in the current PA scoring scheme, suggest SAQ analysis modification, and introduce a visualization graph layout that can provide richer information about safety culture dissemination than that available from currently utilized tools.
