Idiomatic expressions and anaphoric reference in functional discourse grammar
2018
Aquest treball se centra en un tipus especial de relació anafòrica que consisteix en la referència efectuada mitjançant una part, o a una part, d?una expressió idiomàtica. S?hi posa de manifest que, contràriament al que se suposa generalment, aquestes referències no estan necessàriament marcades estilísticament o gramaticalment, sinó que responen a diversos patrons productius. A partir de dades de corpus i dins del marc de la gramàtica funcional discursiva es presenta una anàlisi amb base teòrica de cadascun d?aquests patrons. L?anàlisi en reflecteix els processos de producció i interpretació, en dona compte de la sistematicitat i productivitat i presenta una proposta explicativa del cost c…
I saw this somewhere else: the Spanish Ambiguous Words (SAW) database
2017
The present paper describes the Spanish Ambiguous Words (SAW) database, which comprises 210 words (133 polysemous and 77 homographs). Three-hundred and fifteen Spanish university students took part in the study on which SAW is based. First, subjective word meanings and senses were collected by means of a meaning retrieval task. Two judges then assigned participants’ responses to different categories of meaning according to lexicographical and statistical criteria. Results showed that, while there was a relatively high relationship between the number of senses included in the dictionary and those provided by participants (r = .62), regression analyses on lexical decision and naming times rev…
The Marginalisation of Finely Tuned Semiotic Practices and Misunderstandings in Relation to (Signed) Languages and Deafness
2014
AbstractWhen people draw on the available modal resources (e.g. gestures) in specific contexts over time, those resources come to display regularities. The more a community uses and regulates those resources, the more fully and finely articulated their regularities and patterns become. Modes, organised by regular means of representation, are constantly transformed by users, depending on what the community needs. This paper discusses the way semiotic resources and practices, i.e. social actions with a history, used by sign language signers in visually oriented communities, as well as the research in such domains, have been marginalised. The paper reflects some of the main reasons for such ma…

The Byzantine Scholia to Aristotle and Empedocles’ Cosmic Cycle
2020
Abstract Some Byzantine scholia to Aristotle offer numerical indications on the time-length of some phases of Empedocles’ cosmic cycle. In recent years an interpretation has become established, according to which the scholia pro-vide evidence for a cycle with three periods: the Sphairos and two opposite phases of Love’s and Strife’s unfolding. This paper emphasizes, in contrast, that the picture of the cycle we can draw from the scholia is not as clear-cut as generally supposed. On the contrary, the scholia can be adapted to dif-ferent, even contrasting, reconstructions of the Empedoclean cycle. Moreo-ver, they seem to challenge the received idea of Empedocles’ cycle as the Sphairos and two…
Synthesis and characterization of lithocholic acid derived dipyrromethanes: precursors for pyrrole-steroidal macrocycles
2004
Abstract Three steroidal dipyrromethanes, 3,3,24,24-tetrakis(pyrrol-2-yl)-5β-cholane 1 , 3,3-bis(pyrrol-2-yl)-5β-cholan-24-oic acid 2 , and methyl 3,3-bis(pyrrol-2-yl)-5β-cholan-24-oate 3 , have been prepared from 3α-hydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid (lithocholic acid) 4 in good overall yields. The structures of 1 – 3 have been fully characterized by 1 H, 13 C, PFG DQF 1 H– 1 H COSY, 1 H– 1 H ROESY, 13 C DEPT-135, PFG 1 H– 13 C HMQC, PFG 1 H– 13 C HMBC, and PFG 1 H– 15 N HMBC NMR spectra. Their molecular weights and compositions have been determined by ESI-TOF and EI mass spectra, and elemental analyses. The energetically optimised geometry and isotropic 13 C NMR chemical shifts of 3,3,24,24-te…
Hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence in patients with curative resection or ablation: impact of HCV eradication does not depend on the use of interfer…
2016
none 48 no Background: In HCV-infected cirrhotic patients with successfully treated early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the time to HCC recurrence and the effects of sustained viral eradication (SVR) by interferon (IFN)-based or IFN-free regimens on HCC recurrence remain unclear. Aim: To perform an indirect comparison of time to recurrence (TTR) in patients with successfully treated early HCC and active HCV infection with those of patients with SVR by IFN-based and by IFN-free regimens. Methods: We evaluated 443 patients with HCV-related cirrhosis and Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer Stage A/0 HCC who had a complete radiological response after curative resection or ablation. Active HCV infec…
Competing risks and prognostic stages of cirrhosis: A 25-year inception cohort study of 494 patients
2014
Summary Background Morphological, haemodynamic and clinical stages of cirrhosis have been proposed, although no definite staging system is yet accepted for clinical practice. Aim To investigate whether clinical complications of cirrhosis may define different prognostic disease stages. Methods Analysis of the database from a prospective inception cohort of 494 patients. Decompensation was defined by ascites, bleeding, jaundice or encephalopathy. Explored potential prognostic stages: 1, compensated cirrhosis without oesophago-gastric varices; 2, compensated cirrhosis with varices; 3, bleeding without other complications; 4, first nonbleeding decompensation; 5, any second decompensating event.…
Healthcare resource utilization and costs of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis patients with advanced liver disease in Italy
2020
Abstract Background and aims Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) may progress to advanced liver disease (AdvLD). This study characterized comorbidities, healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) and associated costs among hospitalized patients with AdvLD due to NASH in Italy. Methods and results Adult nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/NASH patients from 2011 to 2017 were identified from administrative databases of Italian local health units using ICD-9-CM codes. Development of compensated cirrhosis (CC), decompensated cirrhosis (DCC), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), or liver transplant (LT) was identified using first diagnosis date for each severity cohort (index-date). Patients progres…
Exploring translation strategies in video game localization
2012
This paper addresses the issue of video game localisation focusing on the different strategies to be used from the point of view of Translation Studies. More precisely, the article explores the possible relation between the translation approaches used in the field and the different genres or textual typologies of video games. As the narrative techniques and the story lines of video games have become more complex and well-developed, the adaptation of games entails a serious challenge for translators. Video games have evolved into multimodal and multidimensional products and new approaches and insights are required when studying the adaptation of games into different cultures. Electronic ente…
