La narration bouffonne dans Gil Blas : « trêve de morale »
2018
For the reading of an extract of The Story of Gil Blas of Santillane, a picaresque narrative and a novel about social ascension from the beginning of XVIII th century, we will question some of the processes and effects of the foolish narration. We come across the model of the farce, the games of parody, the controversial genre of satire : on the one hand, they aim to make the readerlaugh or smile, but they also give rise to thinking, especially when, all things considered, the « moral judgement » is so to speakimpeded.
Experience in a Military Trauma Surgery Department with External Skeletal Fixation of Femur Fractures
1989
Our experience with external skeletal fixation of complex open and closed femoral fractures in 50 conventional trauma victims is presented. Different external fixator systems were primarily used in 26 patients and secondarily in 24 patients. The authors feel that early definitive femoral fracture care in civilian and military trauma victims employing unilateral external monofixation, which avoids casts, and allows improved wound management and early mobilization of the multitrauma patient, has decreased the complication rate commonly associated with internal fixation of open femoral fractures.
Incentive Schemes, Private Information and the Double-Edged Role of Competition for Agents
2013
This paper examines the effect of imperfect labor market competition on the efficiency of compensation schemes in a setting with moral hazard and risk-averse agents, who have private information on their productivity. Two vertically differentiated firms compete for agents by offering contracts with fixed and variable payments. The superior firm employs both agent types in equilibrium, but the competitive pressure exerted by the inferior firm has a strong impact on contract design: For high degrees of vertical differentiation, i.e. low competition, low-ability agents are under-incentivized and exert too little effort. For high degrees of competition, high-ability agents are over-incentivized…
Experimental investigations about the stability of the spongiosa of the femoral head, a new angle plate in mind
1990
Im Hinblick auf den Trochanter-major-Abbruch bei und nach Winkelplattenosteosynthesen von pertrochanteren Frakturen wurde zu Versuchszwecken eine 130o-Winkelplatte mit lediglich 6 mm breitem Klingenprofil angefertigt, bei der das notwendige Knochenfenster die laterale Femurkortikalis weniger schwacht. Die Fragestellung war, ob diese Plattenklinge hinsichtlich der Tragfahigkeit des Osteosynthesesystems vergleichbar stabil in der Spongiosa des Huftkopfes verankert werden kann wie die herkommliche 130o-Winkelplatte. Dazu wurden an Knochenpraparaten vergleichende Druckbelastbarkeitsversuche, von pertrochanteren Osteotomien durchgefuhrt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, das die neuartige Klinge mit dem sc…
Efficacy of a bivalent vaccine against eel diseases caused by Vibrio vulnificus after its administration by four different routes
2003
Vulnivaccine, a vaccine against vibriosis caused by Vibrio vulnificus serovar E (formerly biotype 2), confers acceptable levels of protection to eels after its administration by prolonged immersion in three doses. Recently, a new pathogenic serovar, named serovar A, has been isolated from vaccinated eels in a Spanish freshwater eel farm. The main objective of this work was to design a bivalent vaccine, and to study its effectiveness against the two pathogenic serovars. With this aim, eels weighing around 20 g were immunised with the bivalent vaccine by oral and anal intubation, intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) and prolonged immersion. The overall results indicated that: (i) the new vaccine …
A case of visceral leishmaniasis and pulmonary tuberculosis in a post-partum woman
2015
AbstractVisceral leishmaniasis due to Leishmania infantum is a vector-borne zoonotic disease transmitted by sand fly bites endemic in rural or periurban areas of the Mediterranean basin. Pregnancy is accompanied by changes in immune response, mainly a decrease in cellular immunity and a proportional increase in humoral immunity. These physiological events result in increased risk of infection by pathogens whose immunity is based on a T-helper 1 predominant response. We describe a case of visceral leishmaniasis and pulmonary tuberculosis diagnosed in a post-partum woman four days after delivery. The diagnosis of leishmaniasis should be considered in pregnant women with fever and haematologic…
Effects of a Rehabilitation Program on Perceived Environmental Barriers in Older Patients Recovering from Hip Fracture: A Randomized Controlled Trial
2013
Objectives. To study effects of a one-year multicomponent intervention on perceived environmental barriers in hip fracture patients.Design. Randomized controlled trial of a 12-month home-based rehabilitation aiming to improve mobility and function (ISRCTN53680197); secondary analyses.Subjects. Community-dwelling hip fracture patients on average 70 days after trauma (n=81).Methods. Assessments at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months later included perceived entrance-related barriers (e.g., indoor/outdoor stairs, lighting, floor surfaces, and storage for mobility devices) and perceived barriers in the outdoor environment (poor street condition, hilly terrain, long-distances, and lack of resting plac…
Giant hepatic hydatid cyst as a cause of small bowel obstruction.
2006
Today, giant hydatid cysts are fairly rare even in endemic areas. We describe a case of an extremely large hydatid cyst of the liver that was causing massive compression of the neighboring organs, giving rise to a subocclusive syndrome of the intestine. After considering the various approaches available for the treatment of this disease, it was decided that radical surgery was still the best therapeutic choice, especially when extremely large cysts are involved. In particular, in clinical situations where it is difficult to perform radical surgical procedures, less aggressive surgery followed by drug treatment should be the treatment of choice.
Riebuma un publiskuma ietekme uz morāles spriedumiem un morāles pamatiem
2019
Maģistra darba mērķis bija noskaidrot, vai riebums un publiskums ietekmē morāles spriedumus un vai riebums ietekmē morāles pamata Svētums izteiktību. Pētījumā piedalījās 184 dažādu specialitāšu studenti. Pētījumā tika izmantots emociju stimula materiāls ar riebumu inducējošiem stāstiem, publiskuma stimula materiāls, morāles spriedumu novērtējuma skala un Morāles intuitīvo pamatu aptauja (Moral Foundations Questionnaire: 30-Item Full version-MFQ 30; Graham, Haidt & Nosek, 2008). Rezultāti norāda, ka riebuma un publiskuma mijiedarbība paaugstina morāles spriedumus.
Ragion pratica e razionalità economica. Oltre la scissione
2020
ll saggio ricostruisce alcuni passaggi storici e teorici circa i rapporti tra la ragion pratica e la razionalità economica. In particolar modo si sofferma sulla riscoperta contemporanea della filosofia pratica, come orizzonte utile per comprendere in chiave etica la dimensione economica. La separazione tra etica ed economia, avvenuta nella tarda modernità (da Mandeville in poi), ha comportato l’accettazione dell’Utilitarismo quale paradigma filosofico e della razionalità scientifico-avalutativa come modello di ricerca. Ciò ha causato una riduzione dell’economia e dei suoi modelli di sviluppo a mere questioni quantitative. La sfera economica invece dovrebbe riguardare l’utile in vista del be…
