La Croix et les idoles d'après l'apologie d'Athanase 'Contre les paiens'
No full textThrough the analysis of some significant passages of Athanasius' apology «Against the Pagans on the Incarnation of the Word», and also thanks to their comparison with other selected texts by the same author, P. F. Beatrice tries to date this still problematic work to around the middle of the fourth century. In particular, he intends to show that Athanasius did know the Neoplatonic philosophy of his time sufficiently well and that the target of his polemic was especially Porphyry. But anti-pagan criticism also supplies Athanasius with a substantial support in his struggle with the Arian heresy which had been shared by his great precursor and adversary Eusebius of Caesarea
750 years on : Beatrice of Nazareth revisited
No full textThis introductory essay to the special issue Beatrice of Nazareth (1200-1268). Milieu – Mysticism – Influence first offers a brief presentation of the life and literary legacy of the famous Cistercian nun, mystic and author who takes centre stage in the present volume. It then elucidates the emergence and subsequent international popularity of Beatrice studies, and discusses the diverse approaches that can be discerned in the current multidisciplinary scholarship on Beatrice. Finally, it explains how the five essays which are collected in this volume open up new avenues for research into the thirteenth-century Cistercian world and for future Beatrice studies
Beatrice of Nazareth
No full textAbstract: Beatrice of Nazareth (1200-1268) belongs to the first generation of women who wrote in Middle Dutch. She lived most of her life as a Cistercian nun in the Dutch-speaking area of the Duchy of Brabant (now a region in Belgium and the Netherlands). Besides having produced an extensive account of her life, because of which she is the first female vernacular author in the Middle Ages to write in the autobiographical genre, Beatrice also wrote several spiritual and mystical texts, both for herself and in the context of spiritual instruction. Although all but one of the original writings are now lost, to some degree her texts have still been preserved in Latin in the form of a medieval vita, the Vita Beatricis. This legacy complicates efforts to discern the exact number of Beatrice\u2019s writings, their content, and their purpose
Beatrice Bishop Berle Award
No full textThe Beatrice Bishop Berle Award was presented to Dr. Vincent P. Dole in 1995 by the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Division of Substance Abuse
A gift from Mary Lee Gupta
Beatrice Bishop Berle (1902-1993), was an American physician, teacher and author. Dr. Berle, who ran a neighborhood health clinic in East Harlem from 1953 until 1962, took a pioneering approach to family medicine by treating the entire family for the effects of heroin abuse by a member. She also helped to establish methadone maintenance as a significant treatment for heroin abuse.

La morale della favola: le traduzioni da Simonide nei "Canti" leopardiani
No full textLa scelta di chiudere il libro dei "Canti" con delle traduzioni dal greco conferma la centralità del tradurre nell'esperienza poetica leopardiana e consente di formulare una ipotesi inedita sulla "morale della favola" che quella scelta conclusiva consegna al lettore
Assessing the regional policies of Italian regions in managing the Cesarean delivery phenomenon: a fractal analysis
No full textOBJECTIVES: Assessing the 2017 administrative data on Cesareans delivery in Italy by using fractal statistic.METHODS: 2017 administrative data on Italian Cesarean deliveries are freely available as crude numbers and rates according to each Italian region, according to Italian health institute type and according to first or repeated Cesarean. As already reported, the Italian Cesarean delivery phenomenon is in relationship with hospital, regional, cultural perspectives in caring pregnancy and delivery. Fractal statistics can best assess the biocomplexity underlying the Italian Cesarean section phenomenon. Fractal shapes and self-organized criticality of the Cesarean section phenomenon for each Italian region were done. Fractal shapes were compared to find similarities by using global test of coincidence among regression lines.RESULTS: In the regions where the health care institutes are more than a type, there are evanescent similar fractal shapes. Self-organized criticality assessment demonstrates that chaos is largely involved in Cesarean delivery phenomenon in all Italian regions and in Italy. The fractal images for each region are able to highlight the item causing the deviation from fractal shapes in each region.CONCLUSION: Fractal statistics could be used to compare regional or hospital policies in performing Cesareans, starting from Cesareans rates extracted from administrative data
Acute onset of hypertensive encephalopathy in a dog with right adrenal pheochromocytoma and neoplastic invasion of the caudal vena cava: Case report and review of the literature
No full textBackground: Canine pheochromocytomas (PCCs) are rare tumors of the adrenal medulla. Clinical signs are often vague, resulting in intermittent catecholamine over secretion or neoplastic invasion of adjacent structures. Case Description: A 12-year-old Epagneul Breton dog with a 1-year history of chronic kidney disease, was examined for acute onset of severe neurological signs. Based on clinical and instrumental data, hypertensive encephalopathy was suspected. Cardiac and abdominal ultrasound were performed. Severe hypertensive cardiopathy and a right adrenal gland mass with invasion of the caudal vena cava were diagnosed. Computed tomography imaging confirmed the suspect of invasive malignant neoplasia. Emergency pharmacological therapy was started to reduce systemic pressure, improve clinical signs, and stabilize the dog in view of surgical resolution. After initial improvement, patient conditions abruptly worsened, and euthanasia was elected. Histology examination confirmed a right adrenal PCC, with caval invasion. Conclusion: To the authors' conclusions, acute hypertensive encephalopathy is a peculiar manifestation of PCCs. Ultrasound is a useful, and rapid test to suspect PCC as it can detect adrenal alterations, caval invasion, metastasis, and cardiac sequelae consistent with the condition. PCC can mimic multiple affections, and be misinterpreted, especially when a concurrent disease has already been diagnosed. Veterinarians need to be aware that comorbidities could mask clinical signs and delay diagnosis. Furthermore, this clinical case reminds us to include PCC also in the differential diagnosis of dogs with an acute onset of severe neurological signs
NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL RADIONUCLIDES IN WOOD BIOMASS USED FOR HEATING – COMPARISON OF NORTH-EAST ITALY AND IMPORTED WOOD PELLETS
No full textThe problem of radionuclides contamination in imported wood pellet, used for industrial and domestic heating, emerged for the first time in Italy in June 2009 in a batch from Lithuania, in which a concentration of 137Cs of about 300 Bq/kg was measured, increased to about 40000 Bq/kg after burning. The radioactive fall-out due to the Chernobyl accident (26 April 1986), that deposited over extensive areas of central and northern Europe, affected also areas exploited for agroforestry and forestry resources. The soil contamination occurred almost like “leopard spot” and so in a heterogeneous way also at thousand kilometres away from the Chernobyl site. The eventual radioactive contamination currently present in woody biomasses is almost due to 137Cs radionuclide, which has a half-life of about 30 years and therefore (depending on the contamination of the investigated area) still potentially present in variable quantities in soils and vegetation. The biomass represented by pellet and wood chips are nowadays of a great importance due to its extreme thermal efficiency, its cheapness and its relative low environmental impact in terms of carbon dioxide emissions; the major problem involved in this biomass, in the Italian context, is represented by the fact that the demand for pellets is much greater than the territorial possibility of self-production, therefore there is the need to import this resource from external countries and thus with potentially non-negligible levels of radioactivity. This work, conducted at ICMATE-CNR in Padua, aimed to investigate the activity concentration of 137Cs, 40K and other radionuclides possibly present in 27 samples of forest chips (woody flour mainly produced by Picea abies species) from the autonomous province of Trento and the ashes produced by the same samples burned in similar to domestic combustion conditions (pellet stove at about 550° C). The taken samples were subsequently analysed by high-resolution gamma spectrometry in order to evaluate the activity concentration of 137Cs and of the natural 40K, first in the “fresh” samples of forest chips and afterwards in the same samples incinerated after their pelletization, with the aim of comparing the amount of radionuclides of the former with respect to the latter and to determine the concentration factor. The extensive sampling to the whole province allowed to have a reliable and composite map of distribution of 137Cs radioactivity in the wooded areas on the surface of the Trento province. 134Cs had been also searched for, but it was below the instrumental limits of detection in all the samples. Results thus obtained were then compared and evaluated with respect both to dataset previously obtained from the same ICMATE-CNR laboratory consisting of 65 pellet samples from different areas of Eastern Europe (Bosnia, Croatia, Ukraine, Serbia and Russia) analysed in 2010-2011; and with respect to literature data relating to woody biomass for combustion of European and non-European origin
