I festeggiamenti per le incoronazioni a Palermo di Vittorio Amedeo II (1713) e Carlo III (1735): musica, spettacolo e cerimonia

2018

Le entrate e le rispettive incoronazioni a Palermo di Vittorio Amedeo II di Savoia e Carlo III di Borbone sono state analizzate sotto diversi punti di vista. Tuttavia gli aspetti musicali sono stati finora poco considerati, se non a margine di studi più generali sulla vita musicale palermitana. Il presente contributo è riservato in modo specifico alla cornice sonora dei due eventi, dimostrando come questa costituisse un elemento essenziale al funzionamento della festa e al soddisfacimento dei suoi scopi. Le descrizioni e le testimonianze iconografiche propongono spunti di indagine sulle modalità di esecuzione e sui rapporti con il contesto celebrativo, fornendo anche informazioni sulle occa…

Rappresentazioni del potere. Le cerimonie dedicate al duca di Maqueda durante la sua permanenza in Sicilia (1598-1601)

2013

Attraverso le carte del Cerimoniale del Protonotaro del Regno è possibile ricostruire alcuni fattori necessari affinché si possa dare testimonianza di una effettiva commistione tra il Governo spagnolo e la Nobiltà siciliana. A tale proposito è sembrato doveroso sottrarre tali carte dal solo ambito folklorico e delle tradizioni popolari e affidarle ad una rilettura, ovviando all’esiguo interesse degli storici che tali documenti avevano relegato a semplici “esempi di spreco e vanità”. Dobbiamo invece individuarle come strumento per seguire la vita di un complesso quadro sociale che ha coinvolto personaggi dell’aristocrazia titolata e della nobiltà minore, dei patriziati urbani e delle oligarc…

Socioeconomic factors and cervical cancer mortality in Spain during the period 1989?1997

2002

A study was made of cervical cancer (CC) mortality trends in Spain during the period 1989–1997 at National, Autonomous Community and Provincial levels, in relation to different socioeconomic factors. Data were obtained from the Spanish National Institute of Statistics (Instituto Nacional de Estadistica, INE). The crude mortality rates were age-adjusted using the indirect method and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as socioeconomic status (SES) indicator. National CC age-adjusted mortality rates have increasing slightly, varying from 3.09 deaths/100,000 women in 1989 to 3.42 in 1996. The highest age-adjusted mortality rates corresponded to Seville, Palencia and Orense, with 4.13, 4.06 and 3.98 c…

Dialyzability of iron, zinc, and copper of different types of infant formulas marketed in Spain

1998

The bioavailability of trace elements in infant formulas is affected by different physiological and dietetic factors. In vitro methods based on element dialyzability have been proposed to estimate the bioavailability. Infant formulas of the same type but from different manufacturers can differ in the salt used for supplementation and in the contents of other components that can affect mineral bioavailability. The aim of our study is to estimate the dialyzability of iron, zinc, and copper of formulas marketed in Spain, in order to detect possible differences in formulas of the same type coming from different manufacturers. At the same time, the effects of the type of formula, the composition…

Social isolation from communities and child maltreatment: a cross-cultural comparison.

2003

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine: (1) the differences between Spanish and Colombian cultures in relation to community social support variables, and (2) the relationships between community social support variables and child maltreatment in both cultures. Method: The study was based on 670 nonabusive families and 166 abusive families. The parents were asked to complete the Community Social Support Questionnaire. This instrument measures community social support in terms of Community Integration and Satisfaction, membership in voluntary organizations and community participation, and use of Community Resources of Social Support.

Intimate male partner violence impairs immune control over herpes simplex virus type 1 in physically and psychologically abused women.

2004

OBJECTIVE: Intimate partner violence (IPV) against women is a worldwide problem and a cause of significant distress and threat to health. Studies have focused mainly on mental health, and few have considered the effect on physiological systems. The aim of this research was to determine whether IPV also compromises the immune system, as evidenced by a decrease in immune regulation over herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), the latent virus that causes cold sores. METHODS: Physically abused (N = 47) and psychologically abused women (N = 27) were compared with nonabused control women (N = 37). Information about sociodemographic characteristics, lifetime history of victimization, and mental heal…

Beliefs in the necessity of corporal punishment of children and public perceptions of child physical abuse as a social problem.

Visible but unreported: a case for the "not serious enough" cases of child maltreatment.

1995

This study examined the psychosocial characteristics of cases of child maltreatment labelled as "not serious enough." The sample consisted of cases of suspected physical abuse (N = 48), neglect (N = 13), and psychological maltreatment (N = 8) identified by teachers, and a nonabused comparison group (N = 283). Characteristics of children and their parents were evaluated at three ecological levels: individual, family, and social. Results indicated a poor personal and social adjustment of the children in the maltreatment groups, and suggest that the definition of cases of maltreatment as not serious enough does not represent the psychological reality of these children. Discriminant analysis in…
