"There Are No Women and They All Play Mercy" : Understanding and Explaining (the Lack of) Women’s Presence in Esports and Competitive Gaming
2018
In this paper, we explore women’s participation in esports and competitive gaming. We will analyze two different types of research material: online questionnaire responses by women explaining their reluctance to participate in esports, and online forum discussions regarding women’s participation in competitive Overwatch. We will examine the ways in which women’s participation – its conditions, limits and possibilities – are constructed in the discussions concerning women gamers, how women are negotiating their participation in their own words, and in what ways gender may affect these processes. Our findings support those made in previous studies concerning esports and competitive gaming as …
Gender and Toxic Meritocracy in Competitive Overwatch: Case “Ellie”
2022
AbstractThis chapter examines toxic meritocracy in relation to gender in competitive Overwatch, asking how gender affects a player’s opportunities for engagement in that scene. It analyzes online news stories and community discussions concerning “Ellie” – a fabricated competitive woman gamer created as a “social experiment” by a man player. The confluences between gender and toxic meritocracy become visible in the assumption there must be an experienced man gamer behind the battletag, the gender-based harassment targeted at Ellie, and the reflections on the importance of setting an example as the first team taking a woman player for Contenders. The analysis shows that despite a strong belie…
L'écart et l'entre-deux : traduire la culture
2011
Comparative linguistics seems to suggest that the gap between two languages can be filled by grammar. But mapping the structural gaps between languages hardly makes for the more fundamental gap that is created by the writing of a new text, a supposedly identical addendum to the first. Writing that new text entails questions about the nature of texts, their intentions, their interpretations. Translation must therefore develop a hermeneutical approach. This critical stance is about sorting out what belongs to the languages and what belongs to the text as a specific unit, as a cultural and authorial unit. Because of its cultural nature, translation questions the way one can carry meaning acros…
Das Gerundium im Italienischen und Spanischen: Ein syntaktischer Vergleich mit Ausblick auf das Ladinische
2015
Il presente articolo è dedicato al confronto tra l’uso del gerundio in italiano e spagnolo; a differenza di quanto si potrebbe pensare a prima vista, la loro corrispondenza formale non implica un identico uso sintattico. La divergenza principale è data dal gerundio predicativo, molto diffuso in spagnolo e agrammaticale in italiano, divergenza che è dovuta a una differente evoluzione sintattica risalente ai primi secoli delle lingue romanze. In spagnolo vi fu infatti la sostituzione sistematica del participio presente latino attraverso il gerundio, mentre nell’italiano del Tardo Medioevo emerse la tendenza a coindicizzare il soggetto del gerundio esclusivamente con il soggetto (o con l’agent…

Impacto del quimerismo hematopoyético precoz en el injerto tras trasplante alogénico de progenitores de sangre de cordón umbilical de donante no empa…
2013
El trasplante de sangre de cordón umbilical (TSCU) ha experimentado un auge muy importante en los últimos años como alternativa a la médula ósea y sangre periférica, debido a la dificultad de encontrar donantes altruistas de estas fuentes de progenitores hematopoyéticos. Los datos clínicos disponibles hasta la fecha muestran una supervivencia libre de enfermedad similar a la observada con el trasplante de médula ósea (TMO) o sangre periférica (TSP). Sin embargo, como consecuencia de la baja dosis celular contenida en la SCU, la tasa de fallo de injertos es más elevada y el tiempo hasta la recuperación de la neutropenia más prolongado. Gran parte de la investigación en el terreno del TSCU se…
Synthesis, X-Ray Structure, Tautomerism Aspect, and Chemical Insight of The 3-(1H-Indol-2-yl)-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazin-6-ol
2021
The 3-(1H-indol-2-yl)-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazin-6-ol 2 was obtained exclusively in the enol configuration starting from triazolyl-indole derivative 1 and alkyl halo-esters in the presence of K2CO3. Chemical structure elucidations with the aid of physicochemical characterizations were used to predict its molecular structure while single crystal X-ray diffraction technique was used to shed the light on the supramolecular structure of 2. DFT calculations agreed very well with the reported X-ray structure where the most stable form thermodynamically is the enol form. Its optimized geometry agreed very well with the experimental structure where the correlation coefficients betwe…
Transmisión congénita de la Tripanosomiasis Americana en Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia
2017
La enfermedad de Chagas o tripanosomiasis americana es una antropozoonosis endémica de América Latina, que se extiende desde el sur de EE.UU. y México, en su límite norte, hasta Argentina y Chile por el sur. Las políticas de control realizadas en áreas endémicas han llevado a reducir considerablemente la transmisión vectorial, que se ha traducido en un notable cambio en su epidemiología. La enfermedad de Chagas en Bolivia tiene los indicadores epidemiológicos básicos más elevados de América. La infección congénita es actualmente una de las más importantes vías de transmisión del T. cruzi y una de las responsables de la urbanización de la enfermedad y de su aparición en áreas alejadas de las…
Prevalencia de la enfermedad de Chagas en donantes y en mujeres embarazadas procedentes de Latinoamérica: estudio epidemiológico
2021
El objetivo de la tesis fue conocer la prevalencia de la enfe5rmedad de Chagas en población de riesgo de ambos sexos procedentes de Latinoamérica y la incidencia de la transmisión vertical (Chagas congénito en los bebés nacidos de mujeres diagnosticadas durante el periodo de estudio. Se diseñó un estudio epidemiológico transversal, descriptivo, con dos cohortes poblacionales (donantes de sangre y mujeres embarazadas) y dos fases temporales, una prospectiva (2006-2010) y otra retrospectiva (2011-2015. Los datos demográficos básicos y los resultados sobre el diagnóstico de la enfermedad de Chagas fueron facilitados por los laboratorios de los centros participantes en el estudio (Centro de tra…
