The symbols in the poetry of ruben dario
No full text碩士本論文主要分為三個章節，第一章，何為象徵符號？本章節主要藉由象徵理論學家，威爾伯 (Wilbur Marshall Urban)、弗萊(Northrop Frye)、托多羅夫(Tzvetan Todorov)、賽洛特(Juan-Eduardo Cirlot)以及其他學者的相關文獻解釋象徵符號的定義以及象徵符號在文學作品中的定義。
第二章針對達里歐的生平、作品以及達里歐在現實主義時期的重要性為論述重點。筆者根據達里歐的生平以及生長年代來了解他的作品特色，達里歐一生多采多姿，尤其感情方面更為豐富，這些人生際遇皆影響達里歐的寫作風格。達里歐不只是詩人，也是歷史的見證者，從他的作品中可以看到政治歷史的變化趨勢。達里歐著作極為豐富，筆者在本章節挑選三本可以代表達里歐的作品：《藍》(Azul)、《每日詩》(Prosas profanes)以及《生命與希望之歌》(Cantos de vida y esperanza)。達里歐與現實主義有著密不可分的關係，他的寫作風格不僅受到現實主義作家的影響，同時也是影響現實主義作家的重要人士之一。
第三章筆者不僅針對達里歐的詩集作品分析，同時也分析其散文作品，如《稀奇》(Los raros)。筆者將經常出現於達里歐作品中的象徵符號分為三個部分：顏色符號、禽鳥符號和寶石符號。顏色符號部分主要分析的顏色為藍色、綠色、白色以及黑色。禽鳥符號則針對天鵝、鴿子、孔雀和老鷹。而最後的寶石符號則以珠寶、寶石、鑽石、琥珀、黃金和水晶為主要分析內容。
最後筆者希望藉由這篇論文的研究，能讓大家了解象徵符號經由作家的詮釋，即使相同的符號，也擁有不同的意義。此外也希望大家能透過此篇論文認識文學史上重要的拉丁美洲作家盧本達里歐先生。In this thesis we explore definitions of symbols and the life of the author in the book of Ruben Dario. Dario is an author who emphasized the importance of the use of symbols though out his books. Therefore we might consider him as a master specialized in writing with symbols.
We divide the thesis into three chapters. In the first chapter, we give details to the definition of the symbols. According to scholars like Urban, Frye, Todorov and Cirlot, we are able to understand symbols in forms of signs, images and words. The concept of the symbols is relatively comprehensive, taking into consideration that a symbol is not always a sign; in fact, it is much more than a sign.
In the second chapter, we describe Ruben Dario about his life, literary works and the times when he lived. His life was interesting, colorful and varied. He was not only a poet but a public figure, having been an ambassador of Nicaragua in Spain. Dario wrote many pieces and each was important to him. Based on his narration, there are three books that can represent Ruben Dario, Azul, Prosas profanas and Cantos de vida y esperanza.
Dario was the master of Modernism, mainly because of the great influence of Latin America. Not only did Ruben Dario influence the poets of Modernism but was influenced by other poets in the same period.
In the last chapter we examine the symbols in the poetry of Dario and we divided the symbols into three parts: the colors, birds and precious stones. The first part, we examine the colors. There are blue, green, and black. In the second part, we deal with the symbols of birds, including swans, pigeons, peacocks and eagles. And in the last part, we talk about precious stones. We analyze the symbols of agate, ruby, diamond, crystal and gold. Finally, we end up with the conclusions and bibliography.INTRODUCCION 1

Effects of calcifediol versus cholecalciferol on 25(OH)D3 serum levels, appendicular muscle strength, and physical performance in post-menopausal women
No full textBackground: Post-menopausal women generally present reduced serum levels of vitamin D, reduced VDR expression in skeletal muscle cells, and a gradual loss of muscle mass and muscle function. The relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D3] levels and muscle strength has been extensively investigated, even though there is no agreement in literature. Therefore, aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of vitamin D on 25(OH)D3 levels, muscle strength, and physical performance in post-menopausal women, comparing calcifediol and cholecalciferol.
Material and methods: In this prospective study we included postmenopausal women, dividing them into two groups, according to the prescription performed (calcifediol or cholecalciferol). We evaluated at the baseline (T0) and after 6 months (T1): serum levels of 25(OH)D3, appendicular muscle strength, using the Hand Grip Strength Test (HGS) and the Knee Extensor Strength Test (KES), and physical performance, using the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB).
Results: We evaluated 205 post-menopausal women, mean aged 6928±916 years, 103 treated with calcifediol and 102 with cholecalciferol. In Table 1 we showed the results.

Conclusions: Our results showed that post-menopausal women treated with calcifediol had significant improvements in serum levels of 25(OH)D3, muscle strength, and physical performance
impact of visceral adiposity on trabecular bone score in obese postmenopausal women: a cohort study
No full textBackground: Higher BMI values are associated with greater bone mineral density (BMD) resulting in a site-specific protective effect for fragility fractures. However, pathophysiologic influence of central adiposity on bone quality may oppose the seemingly positive influence of a greater mechanical loading with higher body masses. The objective of our study was to evaluate the impact of visceral fat on trabecular bone microarchitecture in postmenopausal obese women.
Materials and methods: In this study we reported data from medical records of obese postmenopausal women (BMI ≧30 kg/m2). In this population we assessed BMD at lumbar spine (LS BMD) and at femoral neck (FN BMD), Trabecular Bone Score (TBS), VAT volume and VAT mass. We divided our population into quartiles of VAT volume. SPSS 21.0 was used to assess the differences between groups in TBS, according to cut-off proposed by Silva et al. [1].
Results: Data of 226 women were reported in table 1.

*Kruskal–Wallis test for independent samples.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that visceral fat might play a key role in bone microarchitectural changes in obese women. TBS might be used to identify obese individuals at highest risk of impaired bone strength. However, additional researches to identify mechanisms linking greater adiposity to adverse effects on bone are needed.

The combination of vitamin D deficiency and overweight affects muscle mass and function in older post-menopausal women
No full textBackground: It has been suggested that overweight and obese individuals have an increased risk to develop vitamin D deficiency, commonly associated with poor muscle performance. The relationship among fat mass, vitamin D status, and skeletal muscle is still debated. Aims: To evaluate the effects of the combination of hypovitaminosis D and overweight on muscle mass and strength, and physical performance in post-menopausal women. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we recruited post-menopausal women referring to a physiatric outpatient service for the management of osteoporosis over a 36-month period. We compared four groups: (1) normal weight with hypovitaminosis D; (2) overweight with normal serum 25(OH)D3; (3) overweight with hypovitaminosis D; and (4) normal weight with normal serum 25(OH)D3(control group). Outcome measures were: appendicular lean mass-to-BMI ratio; hand grip strength; and short physical performance battery. Results: We analysed 368 women (mean aged 67.2 ± 7.8 years): 95 normal weight with hypovitaminosis D, 90 overweight with normal levels of 25(OH)D3, 96 overweight with hypovitaminosis D, and 87 normal weight with normal levels of 25(OH)D3. Overweight women with hypovitaminosis D had a significant risk of reduced muscle mass (OR 5.70; p < 0.001), strength (OR 12.05; p < 0.001), and performance (OR 5.84; p < 0.001) compared to controls. Normal weight women with hypovitaminosis D had only a greater risk of an impairment of muscle strength (OR 7.30; p < 0.001) and performance (OR 3.16; p < 0.001). Discussion: According to our findings, both hypovitaminosis D and overweight should be investigated in post-menopausal women because of their negative effects on skeletal muscle mass and function. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that hypovitaminosis D is associated to impaired muscle function and its combination with overweight might lead also to muscle wasting in a cohort of post-menopausal women.Background: It has been suggested that overweight and obese individuals have an increased risk to develop vitamin D deficiency, commonly associated with poor muscle performance.

COVID-19 related fatigue: which role for rehabilitation in post-COVID-19 patients? A case series
No full textAIM: of this paper was to characterize the impact of rehabilitation in reducing fatigue in a series of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) free patients, attested by two negative Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) swab tests. We described 7 post-COVID-19 patients, mean aged 65.7±11.9 years, referred to a Northern-Italy Rehabilitation Unit due to generalized muscle weakness. They came from specialized COVID-19 Unit after two negative SARS-CoV-2 swab tests. The 57.1% suffered from severe dyspnoea affecting activities of daily living. We noticed that almost all patients (85.7%) showed a perception of exertion, but only Case 2, that needed intensive care unit in the acute phase, presented a severe fatigue (Borg Category Ratio 10 scale=7). After the rehabilitation treatment the 71.4% showed no fatigue and the other 2 cases reported only a very light perception of exertion. This case series suggested that, starting from an adequate assessment of functional complications, a patient-tailored rehabilitation intervention should be planned for reducing fatigue and improving functioning in COVID-19 free patients.
