Il destino di un ri-traduttore di poesia. Cronaca del “mio” Machado
No full textIn this article, we address the issue of poetic translation and re-translation, beginning from a theoretical approach and, then, contextualizing it by the Italian versions of Antonio Machado’s poetry during the 20th century and the last decades. In the first part, we underline the most important elements that make poetic (re-)translation an autonomous, creative and original “literary genre”. In the second part, we compare Machado’s translations by Oreste Macrì to the ones newly realized by the author of the present article in terms of language, strategies and editorial target.W niniejszym artykule rozpatrzona została kwestia poetyckiego przekładu i retranslacji, rozpoczynając od teoretycznego podejścia poprzez jej kontekstualizację na podstawie włoskiego tłumaczenia poezji Antoniego Machado w ciągu XX wieku i ostatnich dziesięcioleci. W pierwszej części przedstawiono najważniejsze elementy czyniące poetycką (re)translację niezależnym, kreatywnym i oryginalnym “gatunkiem literackim”. W drugiej części porównane zostały pod względem języka, strategii i docelowych odbiorców tłumaczenia Machado dokonane przez Oreste Macri z tłumaczeniami

Etude expérimentale, hydrodynamique et thermique de l’évaporation dans les structures capillaires de caloduc
No full textThe progress in the electronics has permitted the development of different height power components in a very small time. Consequently, as the number of elements, the dissipative power per surface unit has augmented. The high temperatures produce a smaller period of life, so it’s necessary to develop more efficient refrigeration methods. The CETHIL (thermal center of Lyon) studies cooling systems of low thickness systems, the flat heat pipes. They use the changing phase liquid-vapor as a method to transfer heat between a warm source and a cold one. These systems are particularity efficient, because they enable to transfer a high density of heat fluxes. During a previous project, a flat heat pipe with bronze metallic drills and methanol as the intern fluid was tested. The results obtained were promising even if the heat pipe did not work in an unfavorable position. The objective of this new project is to test the same flat heat pipe with a new fluid, water, and the same metallic drills, but oxidized to improve the wettability with water. The optimal operating parameters of these systems are presented as the capability to transferred power according to the orientation or the debit fluid influence. The results are compared with the operating conditions of the heat pipe in previous studies and also with the calculated values from the expressions of bibliography studies.
The results show good performances of the studied heat pipe, even when this one is in an unfavorable vertical position
Key words: Heat spreader, flat heat pipe, two-phase heat transfer, metallic mesh, electronic cooling, and experimental study.Outgoin

Fables de La Fontaine
No full textThis beautiful book is surprisingly not in Bodemann. Vermot is not listed there. Hadamar(d) is for two works: a second edition of Lachambeaudie's fables in 1855 and the 1867 LeFevre edition of La Fontaine in collaboration with Desandré, together with at least one succeeding edition in about 1901 when LeFevre had been joined by Guerin. I have multiple copies of the latter editions, fascinating for the variation in the coloring their images received from hand-painters at the printer. This edition is like that in several respects, though its format is larger: about 5½ x 8¾. Its chief glory lies in the eight hand-colored illustrations by Hadamard, whose name seems sometimes to have and sometimes not to have a final D. The format of these full-page colored illustrations is an arched portal, and the coloring is outstanding! All seem to have been signed by Hadamard. The frontispiece shows a seated La Fontaine in a pastoral setting surrounded by animals. Further such illustrations include Les Voleurs et l'Ane (13); TB (126); Les Devineresses (172); Le Loup et le Chien maigre, an outstanding image (239); Les Lapins (284); Le Lion abattu par l'homme (290); and Les Deux Chèvres, another fine image (346). In at least one instance -- TB -- in which the LeFevre-Guerin edition and this copy treat the same subject in their full-page colored renditions, the images are distinctly different in design. The smaller uncolored designs accompanying many fables seem identical with those in the LeFevre and LeFevre-Guerin editions. This edition uses OF with a frog smoking a pipe, for its title-page image and repeats it then on 4. I believe I am very fortunate to have found a copy of this edition.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: FrenchJean de La Fontain

The new Panopticon: Women’s experiences of mobile phone- mediated coercive control within abusive relationships
No full textThe prevalence of domestic abuse worldwide has long been described as a pandemic (Fawcett Society, 2018), but COVID-19 lockdown saw an international surge with the United Nations Secretary General Antionio Guterrest urging all governments to put women’s safety first when they respond to the pandemic. Simultaneously, there has been unprecedented dependence on technology at a time when mobile phone ownership surpassed the six billion mark (Statista, 2020). The part technology plays in the abuse of others, especially within domestic abuse and coercive control, is gaining increasing attention (Douglas et al., 2019; Dragiewicz et al., 2018; Harris & Woodlock, 2019; Woodlock et al., 2019). However, understanding is still relatively limited regarding how mobile phones enable what we have termed ‘agile technological surveillance’ (Havard & Lefevre, 2020). By this, we mean how the mobile phone’s diverse capabilities and portability can enable an abuser to track and monitor their partner in various ways ‘on the go’ and irrespective of physical proximity, facilitating a new kind of intimate invasion and control. This process requires further theorising if professionals are to understand its impact on survivors and be able to assess risk effectively.
This chapter seeks to address this gap in the literature through considering the experiences of twelve women in the United Kingdom whose mobile phones had been co-opted by their male partners during their coercive control and domestic abuse. Their stories were gathered during a qualitative doctoral study by the first author. We draw on Foucault’s concept of docile bodies and use of Bentham’s Panopticon as lenses to understand the insidious effect of the surveillance and how it caused the women to think, feel and behave differently
Evaluación del pensamiento crítico en enfermería: construcción de un cuestionario basado en el modelo circular de Alfaro-LeFevre
No full textEl pensament crític és un procés cognitiu que representa la capacitat de reflexionar sobre el propi raonament amb l'objectiu de maximitzar els resultats positius i minimitzar els errors a l'hora de prendre decisions. Un entorn sanitari complex i canviant, amb una major necessitat de cures centrades en el pacient i una pràctica basada en l'evidència, són factors que contribueixen a emfatitzar el pensament crític com a competència inherent a la professió. La capacitat del professional d'infermeria per aconseguir millorar la qualitat de cures depèn, en gran part, de desenvolupar habilitats de pensament crític per millorar la decisió diagnòstica. El pensament crític és un procés que pot ser incorporat durant l'etapa professional, però, segueixen sense resoldre alguns problemes associats a ell: la seva ambigüitat conceptual, la seva complexitat en el mesurament i l'encara poca evidència científica sobre la validesa de determinades estratègies de promoció. A nivell teòric, una de les autores que ha realitzat una major aportació al tema és Alfaro-LeFevre. Aquesta autora va plantejar un model circular de pensament crític de quatre components. Aquest model teòric, però, no ha estat operativitzat. Sovint, la investigació s'ha centrat a analitzar el pensament crític en l'àmbit de la formació universitària. Mentre que les investigacions en l'àmbit assistencial són escasses i amb resultats inconsistents. D'altra banda, no s'han trobat investigacions en l'àmbit nacional que aportin informació sobre propietats mètriques de cap instrument capaç d'explorar els components de pensament crític en infermeres en la seva pràctica clínica. Partint d'aquesta necessitat i amb la idea d'explorar el constructe de pensament crític en la pràctica infermera, la present investigació va tenir per objecte dissenyar i validar un instrument que contemplés els components de pensament crític en infermeres assistencials i poder determinar els factors que poden millorar la seva capacitat i precisió diagnòstiques. A partir del marc teòric d'Alfaro-LeFevre es va dissenyar un instrument per avaluar el pensament crític de les infermeres assistencials d'unitats d'hospitalització, nomenat Cuestionario de Evaluación del Pensamiento Crítico en la Práctica Enfermera (CuPCPE) i es va administrar a una mostra de 339 de infermeres assistencials d'un hospital de tercer nivell de la província de Barcelona, durant els mesos de març i abril de 2015. Posteriorment, es van realitzar les anàlisis de les dades amb proves descriptives, mètriques i de correlació. Els resultats obtinguts van ser acords amb el model teòric, evidenciant que el pensament crític és un concepte multidimensional, i confirmant que pot ser explicat per quatre components. D'altra banda, el CuPCPE va demostrar ser un instrument fiable (a= .96) per mesurar el constructe de pensament crític, a més de presentar bona estabilitat temporal (Coeficient de Correlació Intraclasse de .77). També es va observar que les infermeres assistencials presentaven nivells moderats d'habilitats en pensament crític. Entre d'altres resultats destacables, es va evidenciar que hi havia una relació estadísticament significativa entre habilitats de pensament crític i: l'edat (p <.001); els anys d'experiència laboral (p <.001); la unitat assistencial (p <.001); l'experiència en
la mateixa unitat assistencial (p <.001); el torn laboral (p = .001); el tipus de contracte laboral (p <.001); la categoria professional (p <.001); el nivell acadèmic (p <.001); i la formació específica en metodologia infermera (p <.001). No s'ha trobat cap relació estadísticament significativa entre les habilitats de pensament crític i el gènere (p = .306). Els resultats van permetre concloure que el model teòric plantejat per Alfaro-LeFevre per a l'exploració del pensament crític en infermeres en l'àmbit clínic era vàlid i que el pensament crític està relacionat amb determinades variables sociodemogràfiques i professionals. Finalment, els resultats de les propietats psicomètriques de l'CuPCPE recolzen la seva utilitat en l'àmbit clínic i en futures investigacions relacionades amb l'exploració del pensament crític.Critical thinking is a cognitive process that represents the ability to reflect on own reasoning in order to maximize positive outcomes and minimize mistakes when making decisions. A complex and changing healthcare environment, with a greater need for patient-centered care and evidence-based practice, are contributing factors to emphasize critical thinking as an educational and professional competence. The ability of the nurse in order to improve the quality of care depends, in large part, to develop critical thinking skills to improve diagnostic decision. Critical thinking is a process that can be incorporated during the professional stage, however some issues remain unresolved associated with it, its conceptual ambiguity, complexity measurement and still little scientific evidence on the validity of certain strategies promotion. Theoretically, an author who has made a major contribution to the subject is Alfaro-LeFevre. This author proposed a circular four components critical thinking model. This theoretical model, however, has not been operationalized. Often the research has focused on analyzing the critical thinking in the field of university education. While research in the healthcare field are scarce and inconsistent results. Moreover, they have not found research at the national level to provide information on metric properties of any instrument capable of exploring the components of critical thinking in nurses in their clinical setting. Based on this need, with the idea of exploring the construct of critical thinking in clinical nurses, this research aimed to design and validate an instrument that contemplate the components of critical thinking in care nurses and to determine the factors that can improve their ability and diagnostic accuracy. Based on the theoretical framework Alfaro-LeFevre an instrument was designed to assess critical thinking of nurses care inpatient units, named assessment questionnaire critical thinking in practical nurse (CuPCPE) and administered to a sample of 339 nurses care of a tertiary hospital in the province of Barcelona, during the months of March and April 2015. Subsequently the descriptive metric and correlation analyzes were performed. The results were consistent with the theoretical model, showing that critical thinking is a multidimensional concept, consists of four components. Moreover, the CuPCPE proved to be a reliable instrument (a= .96) to measure the construct of critical thinking, besides presenting good temporal stability (Coefficient of Intraclass Correlation .77). It was also noted that clinical nurses had moderate levels of critical thinking skills.Among other notable results, it was observed that there was a statistically significant relationship between critical thinking skills and: the age (p<.001); b) the years of work experience (p<.001); the care unit (p<.001); the experience the same care unit (p<.001); the work shift (p= .001); the type of employment contract (p <.001); the professional category (p<. 001); the academic level (p<. 001), and the specific training in nursing methodology (p<. 001). No statistically significant relationship between critical thinking skills and gender
found (p= .306). The results concluded that the theoretical model proposed by Alfaro-LeFevre for exploration of critical thinking among nurses in clinical settings was valid. It was also concluded that critical thinking is related to certain demographic variables and professional partner. Finally the results of the psychometric properties of CuPCPE support its usefulness in clinical practice and future research related to the exploration of critical thinking
