A dispute in the world of the dead : René Descartes and Andreas Rüdiger
No full textEn 1731 un autor alemán anónimo publicó un diálogo del muerto
continuando la tradición comenzada en la Grecia antigua por Luciano de
Samosata. Hoy sobrevive una única copia del texto, publicada sin referencia
del lugar de publicación o impresor y se encuentra ahora en el Evangelisches
Predigerseminar Bibliothek en Wittenberg. Los protagonistas son el filósofo
y físico Andreas Rüdiger (1673-1731) y René Descartes, quien representa
en el diálogo a un tipo muy diverso de filósofo de la figura “histórica" que
trascendió hasta nosotros en sus obras. Este artículo se propone reconstruir
la composición de este texto raro y enigmático y contextualizar la perspectiva
ideológica del autor en las controversias que animaban el trasfondo filosófico
de las universidades alemanas de los comienzos del siglo XVIII.In 1731 an anonymous German author published a dialogue of
the dead, continuing the tradition started in ancient Greece by Lucian of
Samosata. Today a single complete copy of the text survives, published
without indication of the place of publication or the printer and now in the
Evangelisches Predigerseminar Bibliothek in Wittenberg. The protagonists
are the philosopher and physician Andreas Rüdiger (1673-1731) and René
Descartes, who in the dialogue represents a very different type of philosopher
from the “historical" figure passed down to us in his works. This article aims to
reconstruct the composition of this rare and enigmatic text and to contextualize
the author’s ideological perspective in the controversies animating the
philosophical underground of early 18th-century German universities.Fil: Suitner, Riccarda.

Die Entwicklung von Geschlecht in der präpubertären Stimme: eine Langzeitstudie
No full textIm vorliegenden Promotionsprojekt werden die perzeptuellen und akustischen Korrelate von Geschlecht in präpubertären Stimmen in einer Langzeitstudie untersucht. Dafür wurden Sprachaufnahmen derselben Grundschulkinder zu drei Zeitpunkten (erste bis dritte Klasse) angefertigt. Zudem wurde die Geschlechtskonformität der Kinder ermittelt. In drei verschiedenen Experimenten haben Hörer*innen eingeschätzt, wie feminin oder maskulin die Kinder klingen und Urteile darüber abgegeben, welche Attribute sie mit den gehörten Stimmen assoziieren. Zudem wurden umfangreiche akustische Analysen der Kinderstimmen durchgeführt und es wurde untersucht, wie sich diese Parameter auf die Geschlechtsperzeption auswirken. Insgesamt können nur wenige akustische Merkmale gefunden werden, in denen Jungen und Mädchen signifikant voneinander abweichen. Dahingegen weisen die besonders feminin und maskulin klingenden Stimmen in vielen Punkten deutliche Unterschiede auf. Wie erwartet, können im Verlauf der Zeit Veränderungen in allen untersuchten akustischen Parametern festgestellt werden. In den Fragebögen zur Geschlechtskonformität gibt es ebenfalls signifikante Unterschiede zwischen Jungen und Mädchen, vor allem hinsichtlich ihrer Vorlieben für Farben, Spielzeuge und Spielpartner*innen. Die Ergebnisse der Hörexperimente zeigen, dass etwa ein Drittel bis ein Viertel der aufgenommenen Kinder eindeutige Geschlechtszuordnungen aufweist. Die feminin klingenden Kinder wurden als deutlich höher, melodischer, weniger heiser und präziser wahrgenommen. Sowohl die Grundfrequenz als auch die Sibilantenspektren haben im isolierten Zustand einen signifikanten Einfluss auf die Geschlechtsperzeption. Während die Geschlechtskonformität keinen Effekt auf die Geschlechtsperzeption hat, lassen sich Zusammenhänge mit den Sibilantenspektren finden, insbesondere in der Jungengruppe. Vor allem die Grundfrequenz hat einen nachweislichen Einfluss auf die Perzeption von Femininität und Maskulinität
'Raccar'
No full textQuattro studiosi in particolare - Ernesto Monaci, Ghino Ghinassi, Riccarda Liver e Arrigo Castellani - si sono interrogati sul significato e sul soggetto da attribuire al verbo "raccar" presente nella seconda parte della "Formula di confessione umbra", interpretandolo, rispettivamente, come 'guadagnare', 'essersi tolto' (detto del penitente), 'togliere' (detto del diavolo) e 'assicurarsi' (detto di nuovo del penitente). L'autore riprende e rinforza con argomenti inediti l'ipotesi di Riccarda Liver, attribuendo senz'altro a "raccar" il significato letterale, materiale e niente affatto traslato, di 'strappare'.
Four scholars among others - Ernesto Monaci, Ghino Ghinassi, Riccarda Liver and Arrigo Castellani - wondered on which meaning and subject are to be attributed to the verb "raccar", appearing in the second part of the "Formula di confessione umbra". They explain it respectively as 'gaining', 'having taken off' (referring to the penitent), 'taking off' (referring to the devil), and 'making sure of' (referring again to the penitent). The author endorses and strengthens by new arguments the hypothesis of Riccarda Liver, by giving with no doubt to "raccar" the literal, material, and by no means figurative meaning of 'tearing off'

VINCENZO BELLINI FOCUSED ON ,,THE PURITANS’’ OPERA
No full textMagisterská práce pojednává o hudebním skladateli Vincenzu Bellinim
a jeho opeře Puritáni. Hlavním cílem a posláním práce je přiblížit čtenáři tuto významnou romantickou osobnost a úzce se zaměřit na dílo Puritáni. Zde se autor zaměřuje na vznik
a vývoj opery. Dále poukazuje na děj a jednotlivé postavy kusu. Jelikož se v inscenaci vyskytuje autorova oblíbená role Riccarda, rozhodl se jí věnovat blíže a rozebrat
její slavnou árii: „Ah, per sempre io ti perdei“ harmonicky i formálně. Nakonec se autor zaměří na vybrané pěvce, kteří zpívali árie od Vincenza Belliniho, a zmíní jeho vlastní postřehy a poznatky z poslechu skladeb. Magisterská práce by měla sloužit všem čtenářům, které zajímá hudební skladatel Vincenzo Bellini a jeho opera Puritáni.The master's thesis deals with the composer Vincenzo Bellini and his opera Puritans. The main goal and mission of the work is to introduce readers to this important romantic personality and to focus closely on the work of the Puritans. Here the author focuses on the origin and development of opera. Next, go to the history and individual characters of the piece. As the author's favorite role of Riccardo appears in the productions, he decided to take a closer look at it and analyze his famous aria: "Ah, per sempre io ti perdei" harmoniously and formally. Finally, the author focuses on selected singers who sang an aria by Vincenza Bellini, and his own observations and insights from listening to the warehouse. The master's thesis should serve all readers who are interested in the composer Vincenzo Bellini and his opera Puritans

No full textTest and treat-impact of microbiological testing on antibiotic prescribing for Legionnaires' disease in Switzerland: results of the multicentre SwissLEGIO study
No full textLegionnaires' disease (LD) is a severe form of primarily community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). To confirm a Legionella infection, microbiological testing is required. The Swiss and European guidelines recommend LD testing for all hospitalised CAP patients. However, the low positivity rate of such routine testing (1.5-3%) raises concerns about its cost-effectiveness and clinical utility. In a setting where routine testing is recommended, this multicentre study evaluated the impact of LD testing on the clinical management of the infection and antimicrobial prescribing.
Data from medical records of 195 community-acquired LD (CALD) patients from 20 Swiss hospitals (August 2022-March 2024) were analysed. We assessed the clinical management of CALD, focusing on the impact of microbiological testing on antibiotic prescribing. The appropriateness of antibiotic choice and duration of treatment was assessed using a standardised pathway analysis approach. Factors associated with unsupported antibiotic prescribing were assessed using mixed-effects logistic regression analysis.
Microbiological testing was initiated promptly, with results available within 24 h after presenting to the hospital for 85.1% and within 48 h for 92.3% of patients. Antibiotics with Legionella coverage were initiated in 88.2% of patients within 24 h of admission. A positive Legionella test influenced antibiotic prescribing: 97.9% of patients received antibiotics active against Legionella spp., and 79.6% were prescribed appropriate and targeted monotherapy within 24 h of receiving the test result. Overall, 35.4% of patients were treated with antibiotics for a median of 4 days (IQR 3-4 days) longer than guidelines recommend (defined as > 10 days for immunocompetent or > 21 days for immunocompromised patients). Prolonged treatment was associated with CALD severity and antibiotic use > 2 days postdischarge (proxy for clinical stability reached). 38.5% of patients with impaired renal function received a suboptimal loading dose of levofloxacin.
Routine aetiological testing for LD has improved the clinical management of CALD by facilitating rapid detection of CALD cases and timely initiation of appropriate and targeted antibiotic therapy. Future antimicrobial stewardship efforts should sensitise physicians that a shorter duration of antibiotic treatment for CALD of 5 to 7 days according to the latest Swiss CAP guidelines is sufficient and safe.

El ingenioso hidalgo como material para deleitar y enseñar. Sobre el Don Quixodes en el Angenehmes Passe-Tems (1734-1743) de David Fassmann
No full textThis article is about how the German author of the Enlightenment David Fassmann used Cervantes’ Quixote for his multi-volume work Angenehmes Passe-Tems. Fassmann invents a fictional setting in which two friends meet regularly to read different novels to each other and comment on their content. One of the four main texts performed, mixed with moral considerations, jokes, songs, etc., is Don Quixote. The first three volumes of the Angenehmes Passe-Tems are not based on Cervantes’ original, but a free version made from different French translations. It is shown which texts were used and how they are mixed with the author’s own contributions. Finally, Fassmann’s contribution to the reception of Don Quixote in Germany is analysed.Este artículo trata de cómo el autor alemán de la Ilustración David Fassmann utilizó el Quijote de Cervantes para varios volúmenes de su obra Angenehmes Passe-Tems. Fassmann inventa un escenario ficticio en el que dos amigos se reúnen regularmente para leerse varias novelas y comentar su contenido. Uno de los cuatro textos principales que se representan, mezclado con consideraciones morales, chistes, canciones, etc., es el Quijote. Los primeros tres tomos de los Angenehmes Passe-Tems no se basan en el original cervantino, sino que constituyen una versión libre realizada a partir de diferentes traducciones del francés. Se muestra qué textos se utilizaron y cómo se mezclan con las aportaciones del propio autor. Por último, se analiza la contribución de Fassmann a la recepción del Quijote en Alemania
