The representation of segmental information: an fMRI investigation of the consonant-vowel distinction
No full textRecent studies suggest that consonants and vowels are represented
separately in cognitive/neural space. Much of the evidence
comes from research on dysgraphia (for review, see Miceli & Capasso,
submitted). In the first place, letter substitution errors preserve
the consonant/vowel (CV) status of the target (e.g., cinema fi cirema
or cinoma, but not cintma). Second, there are reports of selective
impairment for consonants or vowels. Additional evidence comes
from disorders of phonology, demonstrating the dissociability between
consonants and vowels (Caramazza, Chialant, Capasso, &
Miceli, 2000). However, while neuropsychological observations
clearly support the C/V distinction, the anatomical correlates of such
distinction are still unknown. We investigated this issue by means of
an event-related fMRI experiment, with a grapheme verification

Recursos visuales y protesta: los casos de Maldonado y Marielle
No full textEn la década de 1910 la Comisión Protectora de Bibliotecas Populares de Argentina elaboró una política de expansión del campo denominada: bibliotecas populares elementales. El objetivo era consolidar una política cultural de afirmación del sentimiento nacional, contra los dilemas que, en la perspectiva oficial, habían generado la inmigración y las ideologías de izquierda. Para reconstruir y comprender el modo en que se construyó un diagnóstico de la realidad bibliotecaria y se produjo una estrategia como respuesta, se estudia el libro de actas del organismo, sus publicaciones y otros documentos de interés. Tres aspectos constituyen las variables de análisis principales: (a) las características generales de la propuesta; (b) los argumentos políticos, culturales y sociales que la justificaron; (c) las realizaciones que tuvo entre 1912 y 1921. Entre las conclusiones, se destaca la voluntad estatal por vertebrar el campo En el Capítulo 6, Verónica Capasso, aborda el vínculo entre visualidad y protesta social a partir de dos casos específicos: la desaparición seguida de muerte de Santiago Maldonado en Argentina en 2017 y el crimen de Marielle Franco en Brasil en 2018. Ambas “muertesviolentas” tuvieron inmediata repercusión social. La autora parte de la idea de que las imágenes creadas en esos contextos de protesta, construyeron enemigxs responsables de la desaparición forzada y muerte de Maldonado y del asesinato de Marielle. Por otro, destaca un rol importante de las redes sociales, tanto para dar visibilidad al tema como para circular noticias, convocar a la movilización, etc., analizando los vínculos que se tejen entre lo offline y lo online. Por último, en ambos casos, se analiza cómo la visualidad no solo fue un modo de manifestación del conflicto sino también un vehículo de memoria bibliotecario argentino y, a partir de él, participar en la formación de los ciudadanos.Fil: Capasso, Veronica Cecilia.

Abstract
Aim
To evaluate the association between adherence to treatment and beliefs about medications in multi-treated elderly patients.
Background
A large body of evidence documented the importance of adherence to therapy in predicting clinical outcomes, and the association between adherence and medication beliefs in patients of various ages and with different health conditions. However, so far only a few studies have specifically investigated the associations between medication beliefs and adherence among elderly in polypharmacy.
Methods
In this multicentre cross-sectional study we used the MMAS-8 and BMQ Scales to assess medication adherence and beliefs about medications, respectively.
Results
The final sample consisted of 567 patients. Patients reporting higher levels of necessity or concerns about their medicines showed higher adherence (OR: 1.61, and 2.02, respectively; both p<0.001). Accepting patients (high necessity and low concerns) were less likely (OR: 0.24; p<0.001) to report adherence than ambivalent ones (high necessity and concerns).
Conclusions
Medication adherence is related to high Necessity and Concern about treatment. In nursing practice it is important to understand the specific barriers to adherence and to engage patients in the implementation of strategies to improve adherence

Gladiopycnodontidae, a new family of pycnodontiform fi shes from the Late Cretaceous of Lebanon, with the description of three genera
No full textThe osteology of Gladiopycnodus karami gen. et sp. nov., of Monocerichthys scheuchzeri gen. et sp. nov. and of Rostropycnodus gayeti gen. et sp. nov., three new fossil fishes from the marine Cenomanian (Late Cretaceous) of Lebanon, is studied in detail. Some of their cranial characters and the presence of a postcoelomic bone clearly refer these fishes to the order Pycnodontiformes. However, they differ from all other described Pycnodontiformes by two important characters. Their snout is elongated as a rostrum, formed by the enlarged prefrontal and the toothless premaxilla, with this premaxilla sutured by its upper margin to the lower margin of the prefrontal. Their pectoral fin is replaced by a strong spine articulated with the cleithrum. These two apomorphies justify the erection of a new family, the Gladiopycnodontidae. The skull of Monocerichthys scheuchzeri sp. nov. does not differ greatly from a classical pycnodontiform skull and this species seems to be the more primitive member of this new family. Gladiopycnodus karami gen. et sp. nov. and Rostropycnodus gayeti gen. et sp. nov. are much more specialized. They share some apomorphies not present in Monocerichthys scheuchzeri gen. et sp. nov., i. e., an extremely long rostrum and an elongated first anal pterygiophore that sustains with the postcoelomic bone a strong and long anal spine. Gladiopycnodontidae fam. nov. and Coccodontidae share a series of apomorphies that justify the erection of a new superfamily, Coccodontoidea, grouping these two families
