Il gioco dei ruoli. Avanguardia e tradizione in Mein Herz e Der Malik di Else Lasker-Schüler
No full textElse Lansker-Schueler always tried to present her existence as a legend or a fairy tale.
Her literary production is entirely based on the strong subjectivism of the german expressionism;
also the Hebrew Mythology and its imagery is an important source of inspiration.
The author,lying about her real life, constantly remains on the border between the Reality and the Poetry.
The Lansker-Schuler's idea of a perfect identity between Life and Literature has brought as a consequence
that her texts are read as a spontaneous poetization of her biography.
Nonetheless, her literary production and letters are neither an ingenuous (auto)biography in line or in prose,
nor a sure documetary source.
In this essay I will explain that this attitude is nothing but the poetic construction of the Modernity central experience:
the Subject, according to Frederick Nietzsche's Philosophy, is conscious that any social, religious, moral system
is fictitious. Thinking so, only an autonomous poetic world can assure the (linguistic) surviving of the Ego.
To demonstrate this hypothesis, I will focus on two prose texts which Else Lansker-Schuler composed,
being inspired by her artistic and intellectual world (The berlin Bohème): Mein Herz (1912) and Der Malik (1919).
In particular, I will deal with two elements, which are important in the representation of the Ego
and in the construction of a language imagery: 1) The choice of the epistolary style; 2) the interaction between the roles
played by the "Writing Ego" and by the surrounding characters
La metropoli dell’agente ich=Spaik: Libidissi di Georg Klein
No full textMy paper focuses on Georg Klein’s Libidissi (1998) as an example of a new spy-story in contemporary German literature. Combining the analysis of the role of the German spy ich=Spaik, the main figure of Klein’s novel, with a mapping of the geographies of the city Libidissi, I will point out to what extent the author poses a challenge to the tradition of the spy-story and in what way he considers Ich=Spaik’s activities, intending them not only as an operation of espionage, but especially as a persistent questioning of a problematic identity, of a figure, who is continuously confronting the image of his native country, his original belonging with the Other. The representation of ich=Spaik’s ‘displaced’ identity and his approach to the landscape, the (in)visible town Libidissi, will be debated on two specific aspects: the paradigms of Self vs Other and of center vs periphery
Analytical evaluation of the Tosoh HLC-723 G7 automated HPLC analyzer for hemoglobin A2 and F determination
No full textObjectives: The analytical performance of a new automated HPLC system (Tosoh HLV-723 G7) for Hb A2 and Hb F quantification in blood was studied. Design and methods: Hb A2 and Hb F measurements were studied for imprecision, linearity, carry-over, interferences and sample concentration effect. Method comparison study was performed with the Bio-Rad Variant II HPLC system. Hb F results were also compared with those obtained by the alkaline denaturation test. The detection of some common Hb variants was also studied. Results: Hb A2 within-run and between-run CVs were found between 0.8–2.2 % and 2.9–7.2 %, respectively, while CVs for Hb F were up to 10.0 % in normal and between 1.9–5.3 % at more clinically relevant Hb F concentrations (N1.5 %). Comparison study with Bio-Rad Variant II for Hb A2 determination showed good correlation but highlighted calibration differences. The following results were obtained in two different laboratories: y = 1.163x 0.52, r = 0.9918, n = 144 (Lab A); y = 1.060x 0.40, r = 0.9920, n = 93 (Lab B). With regard to the determination of Hb F, the measurements performed by the tested method was found to correlate well with the alkaline denaturation test ( y = 1.0138x 0.36, r = 0.9842, n = 20) and with the Variant II HPLC system ( y = 0.812x + 0.52, r = 0.9835, n = 110). An excellent linearity (r = 0.999) was found for both Hb A2 and Hb F in the range 0.8–19 %. Hb S, Hb C and Hb D can be presumptively identified by the assigned retention time windows. Conclusion: The new analyzer Tosoh HLV-723 G7 was found to be a reliable method for Hb A2 and Hb F quantification and for the presumptive identification of some common Hb variants

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has dramatically worsened people’s psychological well-being. Our aim was to examine for the first time the concurrent and longitudinal relations of family resilience with hedonic and eudaimonic well-being, and the moderating role of socio-demographics. For people having a romantic partner, we also explored whether family resilience and dyadic coping were uniquely related to well-being. One cross-sectional study (N = 325) and one 10-week follow-up study (N = 112) were carried out during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic (April–May 2020) in Northern Italy. Adult participants completed an online questionnaire in both studies. Correlation, multivariate regression, and moderation analyses were carried out with IBM SPSS version 28 and its PROCESS macro. Significance of differences in correlation and regression coefficients was tested through Steiger’s procedure, Wald test, and SUEST method. Family resilience was found to relate more strongly to eudaimonic (versus hedonic) well-being concurrently and to hedonic (versus eudaimonic) well-being longitudinally. The concurrent or longitudinal relations with hedonic well-being were generally stronger for females, part-time workers, and people undergoing multiple stressors. For people having a romantic partner, family resilience was concurrently associated with well-being independently of dyadic coping, whereas dyadic coping was longitudinally related to well-being independently of family resilience. Family resilience was found to protect, in the short term, the psychological well-being of people facing the pandemic outbreak. Its protective role mainly concerned hedonic well-being and was more pronounced for more vulnerable people. For persons having a romantic partner, however, dyadic coping seemed to have equal, if not greater, positive short-term effects

Performance evaluation of Arkray HA-8190V system for measuring glycated hemoglobin
No full textIntroduction: the new fully automated HPLC ion-exchange system ADAMS A1c HA-8190V analyzer, developed by ARKRAY Inc., running in two different modes (Variant and Fast) has been evaluated.
Methods: reproducibility was evaluated according to the EP-15A3 standard. Method comparison was performed on 122 fresh blood samples, according to the EP-9 standard. The system was compared to 3 other HPLC analyzers, based on ion-exchange (Tosoh G11 and Bio-Rad D-100) and boronate affinity chromatography (Trinity Biotech Premier Hb9210). Usability was evaluated by using to a score evaluation system.
Results: reproducibility proved to be very good at normal and high HbA1c concentration, with total CVs always <0.7 %, when HbA1c was expressed in mmol/mol as well as in % units. The HA-8190V system was well correlated to the other HPLC analyzers, with a mean bias not clinically relevant. Finally, the usability of the system was evaluated and proved to be well acceptable.
Conclusions: the ARKRAY HA-8190 V system was found to be a reliable and suitable method for routine HbA1c measurement in clinical chemistry laboratories
