Rhema ghennàion. Responsabilità ‘genetica’ del poeta tragico nelle Rane di Aristofane

2017

Questo contributo si propone di indagare il rapporto tra cultura e politica nelle Rane di Aristofane attraverso una delineazione delle nozioni di responsabilità e merito nella figura del poeta tragico au-spicata da Aristofane. Dall’appartenenza del poeta alle Muse, che si configura nella sua partecipa-zione ai loro Misteri, discende una sua responsabilità ‘genetica’: il poeta utile alla polis è infatti fer-tile (γόνιμος), ovvero, è in grado di fecondare il teatro, e quindi la città, di valori che, ispirandosi agli insegnamenti del passato, educhino i cittadini. Intorno al concetto di ‘nobiltà’ (γενναιότης), unito a quello di fecondità (sulla base della radice *γεν-), si sviluppa l’idea di u…

The stigma of low opioid prescription in the hospitalized multimorbid elderly in Italy.

2015

The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of opioid prescriptions in hospitalized geriatric patients.

Future Research in Graves' Orbitopathy: From Priority Setting to Trial Design Through Patient and Public Involvement

2015

Graves' orbitopathy (GO) is a disfiguring autoimmune condition, which can sometimes cause blindness (1). The disease has profound effects on quality of life (2), psychological health (3), and socioeconomic status (4). Progress in understanding and treating this disease has been slow. However, recent advances include delineation of plausible immunological mechanisms (5), development of an animal model (6), and publication of randomized studies defining the role and limitations of intravenous steroids (7), rituximab (8,9), and selenium (10). Yet, some of this knowledge remains to be translated into improvement in clinical care. Access of patients to specialist treatments is patchy and seems t…

A systematic concept analysis of mental health promotion

2016

AbstractThis study explored and clarified the nature and characteristics of the concept of mental health promotion. The study also investigated how these characteristics appear in current policies and strategies. A total of 30 scientific articles and policy documents were identified and analysed using Rodgers’s systematic evolutionary concept analysis method. The analysis provided valuable information on the attributes, related concepts, antecedents, consequences and references of mental health promotion, indicating that the concept is a distinct concept comprising a unique set of attributes and characteristics. A concept mapping of mental health promotion was subsequently developed. The an…
