Some Notes on Andrapolis, the Royal City: Apocryphal Acts of Thomas 3
2021
The following paper aims to explore the meaning and significance of the so-called royal city Andrapolis (Ἀνδράπολις) within the context of the Apocryphal Acts of Thomas’ s narrative (chapter 3). The identification of this Indian toponym have attracted the attention of many scholars during the last century and nowadays again, as witness of the few reliable historical traces supposedly transmitted by the apocryphal. For doing so, after a short introduction, we deal with the allegedly historicity of the text; then, we focus on the issue related mainly to the different variants of the location depending on the Syriac and Greek versions of the Acts of Thomas, and propose a new interpretatio…
Latgalian surnames as a source of research in dialectology and language contact studies
2019
Abstract This article is focused on the analysis of surnames used in the eastern part of Latvia, i.e., Latgale, the history of which to a certain extent differs from other regions of Latvia. This is due to almost 300 years (1629–1917) of isolation from the territory inhabited by other ethnic Latvians, during which this region was under Polish and later Russian rule. During this 300-year-long separation, Latgale developed its own culture, a written tradition based on the local Latvian dialect, etc. The introduction of surnames for the Latvians of Latgale also differed from other regions. As Latgale is a multi-ethnic region, the system of surnames used there reflects not only the peculiaritie…
Humanism and criticism in T. S. Eliot and Carles Riba
2021
T. S. Eliot i Carles Riba són dos autors amb moltes similituds: tots dos van viure aproximadament durant la mateixa època (la primera meitat del segle XX), tots dos van destacar com a poetes i com a crítics, i tots dos van escriure sobre temes literaris semblants, com, per exemple, l’humanisme, i sobre diversos autors de la literatura europea, com Dante, Goethe i Baudelaire. Però les seves diferents circumstàncies biogràfiques i els diferents contextos literaris, socials i polítics van condicionar la seva concepció de l’humanisme i la seva interpretació d’alguns dels principals escriptors de la cultura occidental. L’objectiu d’aquest article és fer un exercici de literatura comparada per …

The PHES battery does not detect all cirrhotic patients with early neurological deficits, which are different in different patients.
2017
Background and aims The psychometric hepatic encephalopathy score (PHES) is the “gold standard” for minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) diagnosis. Some reports suggest that some cirrhotic patients “without” MHE according to PHES show neurological deficits and other reports that neurological alterations are not homogeneous in all cirrhotic patients. This work aimed to assess whether: 1) a relevant proportion of cirrhotic patients show neurological deficits not detected by PHES; 2) cirrhotic patients with mild neurological deficits are a homogeneous population or may be classified in sub-groups according to specific deficits. Methods Cirrhotic patients “without” (n = 56) or “with” MHE (n = 4…
Hepatocellular Carcinoma Presenting at Contrast-Enhanced Multi–Detector-Row Computed Tomography or Gadolinium-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging as …
2012
OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to measure growth rate and to determine the optimal interval time for imaging follow-up of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) presenting at multi-detector-row computed tomography (MDCT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as small, indeterminate lesions. METHODS: We included patients with cirrhosis with HCC initially presenting as indeterminate lesion of 2 cm or less at MDCT or MRI August 2005 to August 2009 and with available imaging follow-up. Measures of tumor growth included tumor volume doubling time (TVDT), tumor percentual diameter increase, and tumor percentual volume increase. RESULTS: We examined 48 patients (mean age, 64 years) with 69 HCCs…

Economic performance of biogas plants using giant reed silage biomass feedstock
2015
Abstract With regard to energy crops for the production of raw materials to biomass for biogas plants, has developed a study to determine the optimal minimum size of a biogas plant powered by giant reed (Arundo donax L.) and utilizing livestock waste. In particular, all costs items relating to biomass supply, plant installation and transport costs were analyzed, by changing progressively two main variables: the electrical power capacity and the feedstock utilized (in the range from 100 to 999 kW) and the feedstock utilized, by substituting livestock waste with giant reed silage so as to determine the more economically advantageous option for the entrepreneur in proportion to power capacity …
Economic evaluation of biogas plant size utilizing giant reed
2015
Abstract Amongst energy crops for the production of biomass feedstock for biogas plants, giant reed (Arundo donax L) has been attracting attention in recent years in Italy. Undoubtedly, this is due to its potentially high yield in terms of biomass, low agronomic inputs, as well as for being eligible for European Union energy crop incentives. The aim of this study was to perform an analysis of plant costs considering three macro-categories (biomass, plant installation and transport). Also, we aimed to describe the economic performances of biogas plants, while progressively altering two key variables. Specifically, we considered electrical power capacity (in the 100–999 kW range) and several …
Utopiju un antiutopiju iezīmes Luisas Lorijas Romānā “Devējs”
2016
Pašreizējais darbs ir veltīts Luisas Lorijas romāna Devējs analīzei. Pētījuma mērķis ir uzzināt kāda ir literāro utopiju un antiutopiju izcelsme un to attīstība, kādas raksturīgās iezīmes ir atrodamas ievērojamu utopiju un antiutopiju autoru darbos, un, lai atklātu kuras iezīmes Lorijas darbam ir kopīgas ar Tomasa Mora, Tommazo Kampanellas un citu utopiju un antiutopiju autoru darbiem. Pētījumā tiek izmantotas satura analīzes, uzmanīga lasījuma, un interpretācijas metodes. Galvenie rezultāti parāda, ka ideja par utopisku vietu pastāv jau vairākus gadsimtus, un, ka antiutopiskā literatūra parādījās kā atbilde uz cilvēces neveiksmīgajiem mēģinājumiem radīt reālas utopiskas kopienas. Tika izda…
