This article proposes an alternative view of the revolutionary subject. By building on insights from the critical streams of evolutionary psychology, it argues for the notion of revolutionary consciousness to be grounded in the categories of 'exaptive actorness' which are most notably manifested in everyday micropolitics. By emphasising the role of contingency, spontaneity, creativity, resourcefulness and, crucially, formal indeterminism and autonomy, exaptationism emerges as an irreducible and irrevocable enabling tactic of subsistence and subversion, as well as the very essence of the revolutionary act. The discussion will turn to the case of the Arab revolutions to demonstrate the everyday grammars of present-day popular uprisings.

This article explores the significant impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on radiology through a comprehensive analysis of eight articles published between 2018 and 2024. With the rapid progress of modern science, the diagnostic methods in medicine are subject to change, which creates the need to consider and evaluate new diagnostic techniques such as artificial intelligence. In our study, we will evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of artificial intelligence and radiological image interpretation, as well as the pros and cons of its use and future development prospects in this field.
