Ebraismo, identità e memoria. Quattro scene dalle vita di Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951)
2020
Il saggio ricostruisce il percorso di riappropriazione dell'identità ebraica di Arnold Schoenberg, facendo riferimento - in modo particolare - agli eventi che hanno determinato la conversione all'ebraismo, agli scritti politici del 1933-38, all'epistolario con Thomas Mann durante l'esilio negli Stati Uniti e alla genesi e concezione poetica e musicale di A survivor from Warsaw op. 46 (1947). The essay reconstructs the path of re-appropriation of Arnold Schoenberg's Jewish identity, referring - in particular - to the events that led to the conversion to Judaism, to the political writings of 1933-38, to the correspondence with Thomas Mann during the exile in the United States and the genesis …
A multicenter randomized trial for quality of life evaluation by non-invasive intelligent tools during post-curative treatment follow-up for head and…
2023
Patients surviving head and neck cancer (HNC) suffer from high physical, psychological, and socioeconomic burdens. Achieving cancer-free survival with an optimal quality of life (QoL) is the primary goal for HNC patient management. So, maintaining lifelong surveillance is critical. An ambitious goal would be to carry this out through the advanced analysis of environmental, emotional, and behavioral data unobtrusively collected from mobile devices. The aim of this clinical trial is to reduce, with non-invasive tools (i.e., patients' mobile devices), the proportion of HNC survivors (i.e., having completed their curative treatment from 3 months to 10 years) experiencing a clinically relevant r…
Immediate effects of the respiratory stimulation on ventilation parameters in ischemic stroke survivors: A randomized interventional study (CONSORT).
2019
Background: Post-stroke brain damage, which affects the central control of respiration, leads to various respiratory disorders. They can be caused by the weakening of the respiratory muscles and chest movements, which can indirectly contribute to an impairment of the ventilation function. The aim of the study is an objective assessment of the effect of a single-session intervention of respiratory stimulation through Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) on chosen respiratory parameters and the following comparison of these changes with a group in which positioning was used (intra- and intergroup comparison). Methods: This was a randomized interventional study evaluating the respir…
Combatientes de un nuevo cuño: supervivencia y comunidad en los primeros testimonios del exilio
2009
El artículo describe algunos de los núcleos de sentido que acompañaron a la publicación de los testimonios de supervivientes chilenos en los primeros años del exilio. Especialmente, el modo en que la escritura testimonial fue legitimada por la voz autorizada de importante figuras de la Unidad Popular que convirtió a los supervivientes que aportaban su testimonio de la violencia en ‘combatientes de un nuevo cuño'. El artículo analiza el modo en que los supervivientes respondieron en sus textos a esa expectativa política tratando de resguardar en ellos las concepciones de la experiencia, de la política y de la comunidad que habían vertebrado los compromisos de la ‘vía chilena al s…
Mafia e costi psichici. Le ricadute nei familiari delle vittime di omicidio
La letteratura mostra che la morte di un familiare a causa di un omicidio rappresenta una perdita traumatica in grado di provocare un elevato distress (caratterizzato dal “sinergismo” di trauma e lutto) associato all’aumento del rischio di gravi conseguenze sia sulla salute psichica che sulla qualità della vita in generale (Green, 2000; Rynearson & McCreery, 1993). Recenti reviews (van Denderen et al., 2013; Connolly & Gordon, 2014) hanno messo in evidenza un’elevata incidenza di problematiche psicologiche a medio e a lungo termine nei familiari definiti dalla letteratura “ survivors” (Hertz et al., 2005). Tuttavia, ancora pochi sono gli studi sistematici sulle esperienze di lutto traumatic…
Apgādnieka zaudējuma pensijas piešķiršanas problēmas un iespējamie risinājumi
2016
Apgādnieka zaudējuma pensijas regulējumu Latvijā nosaka likums ”Par valsts pensijām”. Tās apjomu ietekmē mirušā apgādnieka iespējamā vecuma pensija un apgādājamo skaits, kam tiek piešķirta apgādnieka zaudējuma pensija. Pētījuma mērķis ir analizējot būtiskākās problēmas apgādnieka zaudējuma pensijas piešķiršanas un aprēķināšanas kārtībā, izstrādāt ieteikumus normatīvo aktu pilnveidošanā un sociālekonomiskās nevienlīdzības mazināšanā. Lai sasniegtu šo mērķi, autors analizēja likuma ”Par valsts pensijām” regulējumu, apkopoja Centrālās statistikas pārvaldes datus, salīdzināja Latvijas regulējumu ar citām valstīm, izzināja eksperta viedokli un apkopoja vairāku personu viedokļus, kuri ir saskāruš…
Discourses of sexual violence: A critical analysis of the representation of victims and perpetrators on Twitter
2023
Esta tesis investiga críticamente los recursos y patrones lingüísticos utilizados por los tuiteros para debatir sobre discursos de género y opresión patriarcal en relación con la violencia sexual. Este estudio tiene dos objetivos principales: 1) examinar los discursos e ideologías de los tuiteros respecto a la violencia sexual y cómo estos contribuyen a la negociación de las identidades de víctima-perpetrador, y 2) identificar el papel del lenguaje evaluativo en la (re)producción y resistencia de discursos e ideologías de género. Para ello, esta tesis toma como caso de estudio la controvertida nominación del juez asociado Brett Kavanaugh al Tribunal Supremo de los Estados Unidos. Tras hacer…
Psychological correlates of physical activity and exercise preferences in metropolitan and nonmetropolitan cancer survivors
2021
Objective Interventions to increase physical activity (PA) in cancer survivors have often adopted a ‘one‐size‐fits‐all’ approach, and may benefit from being tailored to psychological constructs associated with behavior. The study objective was to investigate the exercise preferences and psychological constructs related to PA among cancer survivors. Methods Post‐treatment colorectal, endometrial, and breast cancer survivors (n=183) living in metropolitan and non‐metropolitan areas completed survey measures of PA, exercise preferences, attitudes, self‐efficacy, perceived behavioral control (PBC), and intention toward PA. Results A structural equation model with adequate fit and quality indice…
Effect of Combining Impact-Aerobic and Strength Exercise, and Dietary Habits on Body Composition in Breast Cancer Survivors Treated with Aromatase In…
2023
This study examines both the effect of a twice-weekly combined exercise—1 h session of strength and 1 h session of impact-aerobic—on body composition and dietary habits after one year of treatment with aromatase inhibitors (AI) in breast cancer survivors. Overall, forty-three postmenopausal women with a BMI ≤ 35 kg/m2, breast cancer survivors treated with AI, were randomized into two groups: a control group (CG) (n = 22) and a training group (IG) (n = 21). Body composition, i.e., abdominal, visceral, and subcutaneous adipose tissue) was measured by magnetic resonance. In addition, some questionnaires were used to gather dietary data and to measure adherence to the Mediterranean diet. After …
