Rituaalikuolema ja perhetragedia: Itsemurhan määrittely ja tabuluonteisuus kauhuelokuvassa Midsommar – loputon yö
2021
Elokuvissa ja erityisesti angloamerikkalaisissa elokuvissa kuvataan itsemurhaa usein. Niiden representaatiot heijastelevat kulttuurisia käsityksiä itsemurhasta, mutta myös itsenäisesti vaikuttavat käsitysten syntymiseen. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastelen Ari Asterin folk-kauhugenreä edustavaa elokuvaa Midsommar – loputon yö (2019). Elokuvassa sisarensa tekemää murha-itsemurhaa sureva Dani matkustaa Yhdysvalloista Ruotsiin fiktiiviseen Hårga-kommuuniin poikaystävänsä ja tämän ystävien kanssa. Hårgalainen juhannusrituaali paljastaa eroja amerikkalaisen ja hårgalaisen kulttuurin välillä muun muassa kuolemasuhteeseen, tunteiden ilmaisuun ja perheeseen liittyen.Keskityn artikkelissa yhtäältä itsemu…
The fifteenth-century Catalan translation of the French "Danse macabre": A critical edition and English translation, from manuscript Miscel·lània 26,…
2015
The present article focuses on ff. cxlr-cviiir of the manuscript Miscel?lània 26, Arxiu de la Corona d’Aragó, Barcelona, which contain the only extant version of the fifteenth-century Catalan translation of the French Danse macabre. The article contains a philological study of this section of the manuscript, with particular attention to the relationship between the Catalan version of the Danse macabre and its French sources: this study serves as an introduction to a new critical edition of the Catalan translation proposed in the second part of the article. The critical text consists of a parallel edition of the Catalan version and manuscript lat. 14904, Bibliothèque nationale de France, Par…
Las cuatro muertes de Cleonice: poder, sexo, violencia y fantasmas
2019
Greek tradition links the death of regent Pausanias of Sparta with ghosts. In this paper, we focus on the well-known episode that revolves around Pausanias himself and a Byzantine maiden and is transmitted by Aristodemus, Plutarch and Pausanias Periegetes. The multiplicity of versions demands a comparative analysis, which we carry out taking into account the three spaces where the narrative action takes place (civic, intimate and ritual spaces). Results indicate a concordance between Plutarch and Pausanias Periegetes, as well as a dissonance between them and Aristodemus. This difference especially affects the narrative treatment of the maiden, a ghost properly so-called in Plutarch and Paus…
Santo Dominguito de Val: La ?tradición? como arma arrojadiza a disposición de los poderes establecidos
2019
This study focuses, from a short story of the blood libel of Saint Dominguito de Val, on answering the questions of when and why the ?tradition? was made about this saint, and the specific moments of his Revitalization until the end of the 17th century. Although the short story of the death of this infant has been occupied by the most diverse writers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, we take as reference the master Espés and the chroniclers Blancas, Andrés de Uztarroz and Dormer.
Educational Differences in Diabetes Mortality among Hispanics in the United States: An Epidemiological Analysis of Vital Statistics Data (1989–2018)
2021
Background: Diabetes accounted for approximately 10% of all-cause mortality among those 20–79 years of age worldwide in 2019. In 1986–1989, Hispanics in the United States of America (USA) represented 6.9% of the national population with diabetes, and this proportion increased to 15.1% in 2010–2014. Recently published findings demonstrated the impact of attained education on amenable mortality attributable to diabetes among Non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs) and Non-Hispanic Blacks (HNBs). Previous cohort studies have shown that low education is also a detrimental factor for diabetes mortality among the Hispanic population in the USA. However, the long-term impact of low education on diabetes mortal…
dsRNA induces apoptosis through an atypical death complex associating TLR3 to caspase-8
2012
Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) is a pattern-recognition receptor known to initiate an innate immune response when stimulated by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). Components of TLR3 signaling, including TIR domain-containing adapter inducing IFN-α (TRIF), have been demonstrated to contribute to dsRNA-induced cell death through caspase-8 and receptor interacting protein (RIP)1 in various human cancer cells. We provide here a detailed analysis of the caspase-8 activating machinery triggered in response to Poly(I:C) dsRNA. Engagement of TLR3 by dsRNA in both type I and type II lung cancer cells induces the formation of an atypical caspase-8-containing complex that is devoid of classical death receptors…
Plasmodium falciparumMalaria: Reduction of Endothelial Cell Apoptosis In Vitro
2005
ABSTRACTOrgan failure inPlasmodium falciparummalaria is associated with neutrophil activation and endothelial damage. This study investigates whether neutrophil-induced endothelial damage involves apoptosis and whether it can be prevented by neutralization of neutrophil secretory products. Endothelial cells from human umbilical veins were coincubated with neutrophils from healthy donors and with sera from eight patients withP. falciparummalaria, three patients withP. vivaxmalaria, and three healthy controls. Endothelial apoptosis was demonstrated by terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) and annexin V staining. The rate of apoptosis of cells was …
Vampīrs un tā transformācija Annas Raisas romānā “Intervija ar vampīru” un tā ekranizācijā
2016
Vampīru tēma tiek plaši pētīta, un vampīra tēls ir kļuvis par nozīmīgu mūsdienu kultūras daļu. Šis maģistra darbs pēta vampīru Annas Raisas romānā un tā ekranizācijā, izmantojot tādus ar vampīrismu saistītus galvenos aspektus un elementus kā asinis, seksualitāte un eroticisms, nāve, identitāte un citādais, lai noteiktu, kādas vampīram raksturīgās iezīmes Raisa ir izmantojusi un kādas ir ieviesusi, tādējādi mainot priekšstatu par vampīru literatūrā un filmās. Iegūtie pētījuma rezultāti ļauj secināt, ka Raisas radītajam vampīram piemīt tādas agrīnajam vampīra tēlam raksturīgās pazīmes kā pievilcība, pārdabiskas spējas un nepieciešamība pēc asinīm, taču galvenā atšķirīgā iezīme ir tā cilvēcisk…
Distopijas žanra analīze Nīla Šustermana romānā "Izkapts"
2022
Šī bakalaura darba galvenais mērķis ir veikt žanra analīzi Nīla Šustermana romānā Izkapts (2016) no distopijas skatupunkta, pētot un analizējot, kā distopijas jauniešu daiļliteratūras tēmas un iezīmes – futūristiska norises vieta, tehnoloģijas un kontrole, vardarbība un bailes, cerība un spēcīgi jaunieši kā galvenie tēli – ir ietvertas un interpretētas izvēlētajā romānā. Lai to sasniegtu, tika izmantotas šādas metodes: kritisks attiecīgās teorētiskās literatūras pārskats, un padziļināta lasīšana kā praktiskās darba daļas metode. Var secināt, ka abi pusaudžu vecuma galvenie tēli ir cerības iemiesojumi, spējīgi cīnīties pret korupciju un netaisnību par spīti emocionāli izaicinošajai apkārtēja…
Risk of Death Associated With Intravitreal Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Therapy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
2020
Importance Although intravitreal anti–vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment represents the first-line therapy for many retinal diseases, the issue of their systemic safety is debatable. Objectives To assess whether intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy might be associated with increased risk of mortality and which variables are associated with the increase. Data Sources PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase databases, the Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov were systematically searched from inception to May 6, 2019. Study Selection Randomized clinical trials comparing intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment with control groups and with follow-up of at least 6 months were selected. Data Extractio…
