Gli attivatori dei sentimenti nel coma
No full textLa presente ricerca riguarda gli attivatori dei sentimenti nel coma profondo, la cui presenza e intensità è stata provata da precedenti ricerche. Le nostre ipotesi intendevano verificare quali stimoli/attivatori siano all’origine dei sentimenti del coma e se pace, serenità, tranquillità e rilassamento provati nel coma fossero attivati, edonici e potenziati. Per ottenere queste informazioni sono state intervistate 60 persone che testimoniavano di aver provato tali sentimenti. I risultati delle analisi hanno confermato la presenza di tali sentimenti. Sono inoltre stati individuati due attivatori, la luce fulgida che accompagnava tutti questi fenomeni e la deafferentazione, cioè un ambiente nuovo, privo di tutte le attivazioni, vicissitudini di cui è fatta la vita. La tridimensionalità (anattivazione, piacevolezza e potenziamento) dei sentimenti del coma è stata sufficientemente provata. Tuttavia si ritiene cha la ricerca in futuro debba mettere a punto strumenti più appropriati per studiare fenomeni situati alla frontiera dei paradigmi delle scienze

Richardson, Barbauld, and the construction of an early modern fan club
No full textMPhilMuch has been written about the life and long works of the eighteenth century epistolary novelist, Samuel Richardson, but the prospect of his position as the first celebrity novelist – responsible for courting his own fame as well as initiating his own fan club – has largely been ignored. The body of manuscripts housed at the National Art Library in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London provides the modern scholar with evidence of the skeletal beginnings of an early fan club. This thesis aims to show how these manuscripts were turned into a saleable commodity by the publisher and entrepreneur Richard Phillips, while under the guiding hand of another, slightly later, literary celebrity, Anna Laetitia Barbauld. In order to restore Richardson’s reputation amongst a new nineteenth century audience, Barbauld was required to construct her own idea of him as an eighteenth century celebrity author, and in doing so the insecurities of a self-professed, apparently diffident man, are revealed. Barbauld’s capacious, but heavily edited selection of letters is analyzed in this thesis, providing ample evidence that Richardson’s correspondents were more than just eager letter writers. By using Barbauld’s biography of Richardson this thesis aims to show how she manipulates the genre of life writing in her construction of him.
This thesis offers an alternative reading of how the Richardson manuscripts are viewed, redefining them as not simply a collection of letters, but as a collective entity, deliberately selected and archived as evidence of an early modern fan club, and its celebrity managing director

Coma and vegetative states: state of the art and proposal of a novel approach combining existing coma scales
No full textBrain damage of various aetiologies can lead to different disorders of consciousness (DOC), varying from coma to vegetative, to minimally conscious states. Each state is characterised by a different degree of wakefulness, awareness, pain sensitivity and is differentially handled with respect to treatment, ethical considerations and end-of-life decisions. Thus, its correct identification is crucial while devising or modulating appropriate treatment strategies. Actually, the main coma scales cannot always accurately determine the state of consciousness of an individual, while other tools (e.g. imaging techniques) present a certain degree of uncertainty. A complementary approach may be constituted by a 24-hour observation of patients, for a sufficient period of days, using an ad hoc behavioural scale, further correlated with physiological and pharmacological parameters measured on patients. The method herein described might help recognising the presence of consciousness of the different DOC patients, and thus discerning a vegetative from a minimally conscious state.
