Drug load and memory during intracarotid amobarbital procedure in epilepsy

2021

Background Anti-seizure medications (ASMs) have been related to poor cognitive function, but their relationship with intracarotid amobarbital procedure (IAP) results remains unclear. Aims of the study To elucidate whether the number and drug load of ASMs are associated with memory scores of the IAP and the neuropsychological assessment. Methods Fifty-nine adult patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (mean age = 36.1, SD = 11.6) underwent bilateral IAP (with drawings and words as memory items) and a neuropsychological assessment to assess the risk of post-surgical memory decline. Total ASM drug load was calculated by summing the daily dose/defined daily dose ratio of every ASM of each patient…

Orsi polari tra fantasia e realtà: i casi di SAID e Yoko Tawada

2020

This article examines the particular relationship that the German-Japanese writer Yoko Tawada and the German-Iranian writer SAID have with their second homeland, Germany. I also analyze how writers tell the experience of migration through the fantastic story of polar bears. SAID writes in the fairytale Schneebären lügen nie, 2013, of a fantastic encounter between a little girl and a lost polar bear and Tawada tells in the novel Etüden im Schnee, 2014, of three generations of polar bears and their experiences in different countries.

Die vielgestaltige Wassermetaphorik bei Yoko Tawada

2018

The famous German-Japanese author Yoko Tawada lives since 1982 in Germany, where she writes in Japanese and German. This essay examines the multiform metaphor of water in the works of the writer. Furthermore, the study explores the apparently close relations between water, with its continuous changes, and the existence of a fixed identity. This paper also questions how water (a metaphor for identity) in many passages of the selected texts, is sought and rejected but also feared, desired and modified by the protagonists.

Yoko Tawada: una viaggiatrice tra lingue e culture

2018

This article examines the particular relationship that the German-Japanese writer has with the language. For this reason, I will analyze some texts that are included in the three works and that constitute a kind of summa of the main linguistic aspects that emerge throughout the Tawadian literary corpus: Talisman, 1996, Überseezungen, 2002, and Akzentfrei, 2016. Talisman is still considered the most famous book written by the author in German, Überseezungen is defined as a sort of logbook of a journey that starts from Japan and leads through different continents and Akzentfrei that combines linguistic associations and surreal images.

Design and analysis of discrete choice experiments for models with response time

2013

Settore SECS-S/02 - Statistica Per La Ricerca Sperimentale E TecnologicaA sector of conjoint analysis (experimental design in marketing research) is made of the so called choice experiments. In choice experiments respondents undergo a questionnaire which is nowadays mostly submitted through the internet. The questionnaire proposes to the respondent a sequence of choice sets each one including two or more profiles being a profile a specific combination of attribute levels. The respondent selects the preferred profile for each choice set. Responses given by a sample of respondents are analysed through suitable methods aimed to eventually find the best combination of attribute levels. One method of analysis adopts the Multinomial Logit (MLN) model. In this article the authors show the results of the MLN analysis compared with another model of analysis which uses an additional response which can be easily recorded by electronically submitted questionnaires. In practice modern survey platforms like “Qualtrics” (the one used for this work) can record the so called “response latency” i.e. the time taken by the respondent to make the choice and select the most preferred profile in the choice set. Thanks to a response latency model further refined in this work it is possible to deduce the relative weight of importance of the profiles for each choice set and respondent. This type of response can be used in place of the dichotomous choice variable in the MLN model. The two models and methods of analysis are deeply compared and it is critically discussed when it is better to use one or the other method. As a result a more reliable estimate of the optimal profile comes up implying lower risks for new investments and marketing decisions.

1400 years of man-environment interactions and soil evolution in the Saint-Mont mountain (Remiremont, Vosges)

2021

International audience; The SolHoM(a) project aims at determining the degree of landscape anthropisation in the Fossard massif (Remiremont, Vosges, France) by estimating the impact of past human occupations on current soils. Nowadays, a forest covers this relatively inhospitable mountain (hard climate, steep slopes, acid soils ...), but some remains suggest human presence for at least 1400 years.The Saint-Mont is a variscan orogenic granitic summit (height 672m) with valuable preserved archaeological relics, located south of the Fossard. At the top was founded the monasterium Habendum (from the 7th century to the French Revolution), which potentially comes after a late-antic castrum.Further…

¿Cabe hablar de una «generación de la crisis»? Discusión en torno a una noción sobreexplotada

2018

This article states that nowadays there is an overuse (or a misuse) of the «Generation» idea. The discussion among many authors over the «Generation of crisis» concept suggests that it is useful to outline the characteristics of the target of population of the collective of youth who are mainly affected by the economic and social crisis over the past years. Nevertheless, through analyzing the meanings of the «Generation of Crisis» made by Mannheim, Ortega and other classic authors, it is clear that the social class approach together with the generational one are needed to define this concrete concept. The conclusion of the articleis that both approaches are seen as underpinning their utilit…

The objective of this review is to summarize the presence of unlabeled doping substances in dietary supplements that are used in sports. Methodology: A review of substances/metabolites/markers banned by WADA in ergonutritional supplements was completed using PubMed. The inclusion criteria were studies published up until Se…

Oikonyme als Ausdrucksform der Zweisprachigkeit. Zum Gebrauch der Siedlungsnamen in der Chronik der Pfarrei Zawada Ks

2021

Sytuacja językowa na Górnym Śląsku doprowadziła z biegiem czasu do tego, że obecnie wiele miejscowości w regionie posiada nazwy, które można przypisać do niemieckiego lub polskiego systemu językowego. Jeśli autor ma do dyspozycji różne nazwy tego samego miejsca, interesujące jest, które z nich stosuje w swoim tekście, ponieważ w takich przypadkach zawsze istnieje możliwość, że ta czy inna nazwa przekazywać będzie również treści wykraczające poza czystą funkcję oznaczenia. Na podstawie Kroniki parafii Zawada Ks. – w oryginale: Chronik der Pfarrei Zawada Ks. – spisanej w okresie powojennym przez dwujęzycznego proboszcza parafii i zawierającej relacje z okresu do 1957 r., artykuł przedstawia, …
