Gabriel García Márquez and the cinema : life and works / Alessandro Rocco.
No full textRocco focuses on Gabriel GarciÌa MaÌrquez's relations with the world of cinema and gives us the first detailed study of the author's wide-ranging filmography. A unique and indeed indispensable addition to the critical literature on a writer of world importance. Gerald Martin, author of Gabriel GarciÌa MaÌrquez: A Life Far from being an occasional occupation, GarciÌa MaÌrquez's film work forms an intrinsic part of his overall aesthetic and literary poetics. The book's primary aim is to present a detailed study of GarciÌa MaÌrquez's wide-ranging filmography, which has never received a comprehensive,systematic analysis. Rocco argues that it should be recognised as an integral part of the author's narrative output, and brought into the mainstream of studies concerning his literary activity. The first part of the book reconstructs the trajectory of GarciÌa MaÌrquez's career in cinema and his connections with the world of film. The second part looks at all his screenplays on which actual films have been based. These are examined chronologically, but also analysed according to thematic and aesthetic concerns and placed in relation to the novels and short stories with which they are 'twinned'.

The famous drawing of Leonardo (Vinci 1452, Amboise 1519) has become the symbol of western civilization. The author wrote The man is named Minor World by
the ancients. As Plato had bound fire and earth, the components with which God created the universe (the macrocosm), through the proportional mean, which was
named Divine, thus Leonardo bound man (the microcosm) which Vitruvius dissected in a circle and a square using the Golden Section. The Vitruvian man of Leonardo dates 1490 circa and measures 344x245 mm; the author was inspired by Vitruvius in the relationship between proportions, as he himself reports. We restrain ourselves to delineate how the square becomes the circle, or how from the circle one passes to the square, applying what we will discuss in Applied problems and in How to graphically obtain the
Golden Section.
Paragraphs: Leonardo's man, The man of Vitruvius, The Golden Section, Applied problems, How to graphically obtain the Golden Section, From the square to the circle, From the circle to the square, The bidimensionality within space, What Leonardo says about his drawing, Chronological summary of Leonardo's life
CROATIAN EMIGRANTS IN VENICE AND SCUALA GRANDE S. ROCCO
No full textU radu se, na osnovi izvorne građe iz Državnog arhiva u Mlecima i Arhiva Bratovštine sv. Jurja i Tripuna (oporučni spisi), predstavljaju različiti oblici komunikacije hrvatskih iseljenika u Mlecima s Bratovštinom S. Rocco, u prošlosti jednom od najpoznatijih i najuglednijih bratimskih udruga u gradu na lagunama. Obrađuju se zavičajna, profesionalna i društvena struktura Hrvata povezanih s Bratovštinom S. Rocco i predstavljaju temeljne sastavnice koje se odnose na upućenost Hrvata sa spomenutom bratovštinom.In this article, on the basis of the extant archival sources kept in the State Archives in Venice and in Archive of St. George and Triphon fraternity (testaments), author tries to describe various relationships of Croatian emigrants in Venice with the members of St. Rocco fraternity, which was one of the most prominent and most respectable fraternities in the history of Venice. Author tries to analyze provenience, professional and social structure of the Croats related to the fraternity of St. Rocco, which was quite important regarding these relations between Croatian emigration and the aforementioned fraternity. Since the primary sources for this investigation were testaments, which contain rather specifi c
sort of information, this investigation was focused chiefl y at the information regarding the burial place – taking into account all the testators who had chosen St. Rocco fraternity as their last resting place. Moreover, author also has analyzed all the legacies regarding the bestowal of the fraternity and their members, as well as the legacies regarding the funeral ceremony that included the fraternity or its members. At the end, author emphasizes that one of the purposes of this research was to point out importance of this, not so known but very signifi cant, part of daily life of Croatian emigration in Venice
Promoting the systematic use of real-world data and real-world evidence for digital health technologies across Europe: a consensus framework
No full textDespite the acceleration in the use of digital health technologies across different aspects of the healthcare system, the full potential of real-world data (RWD) and real-world evidence (RWE) arising from the technologies is not being utilised in decision-making. We examine current national efforts and future opportunities to systematically use RWD and RWE in decision-making in five countries (Estonia, Finland, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom), and then develop a framework for promotion of the systematic use of RWD and RWE. A review assesses current national efforts, complemented with a three-round consensus-building exercise among an international group of experts (n1 = 44, n2 = 24, n3 = 24) to derive key principles. We find that Estonia and Finland have invested and developed digital health-related policies for several years; Germany and Italy are the more recent arrivals, while the United Kingdom falls somewhere in the middle. Opportunities to promote the systematic use of RWD and RWE were identified for each country. Eight building blocks principles were agreed through consensus, relating to policy scope, institutional role and data collection. Promoting post-market surveillance and digital health technology vigilance ought to rely on clarity in scope and data collection with consensus reached on eight principles to leverage RWD and RWE
