Depressive symptoms and mental representations in a sample of pregnant Italian women during COVID-19: primiparous and multiparous in comparison
No full textDuring the COVID-19 outbreak, the risk of depression has increased for pregnant women and especially for first-time mothers-to-be. Pre-COVID-19 literature showed that depression is negatively linked to mental representations during pregnancy. This pilot study explored the difference in depressive symptoms and maternal representations style in primiparous and multiparous pregnant women during the outbreak of COVID-19 (2020-2021). 25 women (14 primiparous, 11 multiparous) were recruited in their last trimester of pregnancy. Participants responded to the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and Interview for Maternal Representations during Pregnancy (Intervista sulle Rappresentazioni Materne in Gravidanza – IRMAG). Results showed that primiparous women presented higher depressive symptoms than Original article“Pediatric Psychology and Related Issues” Section (Sezione “Psicologia Pediatrica e Dintorni”) by S.I.P.Ped.

Moreover, primiparous women reported lower richness of perception (p = 0.008), openness to change (p = 0.035) and dominance of fantasies (p = 0.000) in maternal representation and, globally, more restricted representations (71.4%) than multiparous ones (18.2%) (p = 0.020). Mental representations were related to the level of depression, with integrated representations being associated with lower depression than restricted and ambivalent ones (p = 0.001). A preventive intervention to support primiparous pregnant women during future pandemics would be necessary in particular to avoid negative repercussions also in the post-partum experience
Qui sont les Dii mauri ?
No full textThe author reviews the various but rare interpretations of the divine collectivity referred to by the name of Dii Mauri. From a re-examination of the literary or epigraphic mentions of the 50 specifically African local or regional divinities, and of the 20 dedications to the Dii Mauri known to this day, he believes he can propose the relationship, even the identity, between the local gods and the Dii Mauri. The comparison between the authors of the dedications shows that the worship of the local gods principally concerned « civilians » (82,5 %), whereas the Dii Mauri were invoked by governors, imperial procurators, soldiers (81,25 %). Moreover the Dii Mauri are invoked as often in Numidia and in Africa as in Caesarian Mauretania (they are unknown in Tingitana). Therefore the term of "maurus" is not linked to the Roman administrative carving, it applies to what is rebellious to Latin culture, to what is specifically native and unassimilable. Dii Mauri and African gods are the same divinities, only the dedicators change.The author reviews the various but rare interpretations of the divine collectivity referred to by the name of Dii Mauri.

A tradução do sublime em metamorphoses de ovídio
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2014Tomando a tradução como um trabalho que se abre para a reflexão e considerando a importância de atentar para a tradução de textos clássicos (da antiguidade clássica), esta dissertação apresenta um estudo sobre a tradução do sublime em Metamorphoses de Ovídio (foram estudados os mitos de Daphne, Callisto e Arethusa). A fim de investigarem que medida o sublime foi traduzido, de que modo esse efeito foi construído nas traduções para a língua portuguesa brasileira, primeiramente foi estudado o conceito de sublime buscando compreendê-lo em suas manifestações, investigando o percurso por que passou o conceito e a que está relacionado. Deste modo o sublime é estudado naquilo que apresentam: Longuino (século I d.C.); Edmund Burke e Friedrich Schiller (do século XVIII); Victor Hugo (século XIX). O sublime está relacionado em grande medida à retórica e ao terror, e é com base nesses elementos que é investigada a construção do sublime no texto de Ovídio e suas traduções. Estando o sublime relacionado à letra (BERMAN, 2007) do texto, ele é trasladado ao português nas duas traduções analisadas.Abstract: Taking translation as a work that opens itself to reflection and considering the importance of paying attention to the translation of classical texts (from the classic antiquity), this dissertation presents a study about the translation of the sublime in Ovid's Metamorphoses (the myths studied are: Daphne, Callisto e Arethusa) . In order to investigate to which extent the sublime was translated, and how this effect was built on translations to portuguese, the concept of sublime was studied first, trying to comprehend its expressions, investigating the progress the concept has been through and what it is related to. Thus, the sublime is studied in what Longuino (1st century), Edmund Burke and Friederich Schiller (18th century), and Victor Hugo (19th century) present. The sublime is mostly related to rhetoric and terror, and based in these elements is that the contruction of the sublime in the text of Ovid and his translations is investigated. Being strictly related to the letter(BERMAN, 2007) of the text, the sublime is transferred to portuguese in both analysed translations

Prenatal Mental Representations in Italian First-Time Mothers Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Study with Interviews on Maternal Representations During Pregnancy
No full textIntroductionPsychosocial risks increase the levels of not-integrated/ambivalent and restricted/disengaged representations during pregnancy, but no study has specifically analysed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on maternal representation styles.Objectives(1) to compare maternal representation styles in primiparous women who became pregnant before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and (2) to analyse the content of representation styles during the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsA total of 37 Italian pregnant women were recruited from 2019 to 2021. The sample was divided into two groups: the pre-COVID-19 group (22 women, mean age = 33.14 years; SD = 3.78) and the COVID-19 group (15 women, mean age = 35.9 years; SD = 4.6). Interviews on maternal representations during pregnancy were administered and analysed for style and content. Results: Women during the COVID-19 pandemic reported more restricted/disengaged and less integrated/balanced representation styles than women pre-COVID-19. Content analysis showed that the COVID-19 pandemic led women to focus more on concrete aspects of pregnancy in lieu of emotional aspects, thus leading them to develop more restricted/disengaged representation styles. Conclusions for practiceIn future pandemics pregnant women should be supported in focusing their attention to emotions, sensations and fantasies about themselves as mothers and their children
Tradução comentada do conto Lizards in Jamshyd's Courtyard, de William Faulkner
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-graduação em Estudos da TraduçãoEste trabalho de dissertação é fruto de estudos de teorias da tradução e teve como princípio norteador a aquisição de conhecimentos sobre aspectos relacionados com a produção da obra original, para só então definir a posição do tradutor. Somente após a contextualização da obra original e análise das características do autor concretizou-se a tradução do conto Lizards in Jamshyd's Courtyard de William Faulkner. Para manter a força do conto original não houve simplesmente a preocupação em conseguir encontrar equivalentes ou traduzir palavra por palavra, mas sim, em adentrar no jogo de significantes, de maneira a tornar a tradução o mais próximo possível do original, respeitando a heterogeneidade das situações lingüísticas e culturais existentes entre a língua inglesa do original e a língua portuguesa no Brasil, para a qual o conto foi traduzido. Muitos obstáculos foram encontrados ao longo desse processo, e a estes, foram apresentadas soluções. Tanto as hipóteses levantadas para a solução dos problemas, quanto as decisões tomadas descritas nesta pesquisa estão ancoradas nos princípios teóricos de Lawrence Venutti, Georges Mounin, John C. Catford e Antoine Berman. This essay has its origins in studies about translation theories and in the knowledge acquisition about the aspects related with the production of the original work. Just after those studies, was established the position as translator. And only after the contextualization of the original work and the analysis of the author characteristics it was started the translation process of the tale Lizards in Jamshyd's Courtyard written by William Faulkner, this tale is part of the novel Hamlet written by the same author. To maintain the strength of the original tale there was not just a concern about getting equivalents or translating word by word , but was to be very close to the characteristics of the original tale; considering what is heterogeneous in the linguistic and cultural situations between the English language in which the original tale was written, and the Portuguese language from Brazil where the tale has been translated. The hypothesis, the possible solutions to the problems found, and the decisions taken in this research are based on: Lawrence Venutti, Georges Mounin, John C. Cattford and Antoine Berman's theories
Tihei Mauri Ora: A Māori response to health disparities
No full textMāori bear a disproportionate burden of health problems which, in concert with other factors (e.g. poor housing, low socio-economic status and low education attainment), contribute to and maintain low health status. It is noted that there have been multiple attempts to reduce health inequities – however, such attempts have been largely unsuccessful. Barriers to success include government reticence, restrictions on Māori participation in determining health directions/solutions, current contract paradigms and a reluctance to engage in meaningful partnerships with Māori. Those barriers occur within a cultural framework which defines (and therefore prioritises) the health of an individual over the needs of the collective.
The hypothesis of this research is that Māori health disparities are best addressed via the development and delivery of Māori health models by services which are oriented to kaupapa Māori principles. Utilising a case study approach, this thesis looks at the outcomes generated when a kaupapa Māori service applies key Māori principles to health service delivery. The case study, in tandem with focus group interviews identifies the key elements necessary to developing services which are responsive to the needs of Māori.
This study identified the importance of promoting change (and ultimately improve Māori health status) that encompasses the formation of a framework which considers collective benefit over individualism, encompasses Māori values, acknowledges and accepts Māoricentric clinical interventions. In addition, the thesis asserts that Māori health status will improve once Māori are active participants rather than recipients of health services

No full textRenouncing authentic thought and arguing on the basis of abstract categories and sterile juxtapositions of concepts is a risk to which every thinker is subject. The philosophical debate itself often takes place within conceptual paradigms which, although universally accepted, sometimes do not correspond to the actual situation they are supposed to describe and need further examination. Dragan Jakovljević's book, which takes the form of a collection of seven different essays, most of which have already been published previously, constantly strives to unmask the false myths on which philosophical discussion in various spheres has been guiltily fossilized in recent years. The author - a professor of ethics and theory of knowledge at the University of Podgorica - offers a sharp and balanced reflection on some of the hottest topics in various disciplines, in an analysis that ranges from epistemology to ethics, from social sciences to philosophy of religion. Thus, the epistemological issues of the validity of knowledge and the method of scientific research are addressed, as well as problems that emerge from the public debate, such as the correct conception of tolerance in a pluralistic society or the role that religion can and must play in this context. The argumentation is mostly based on a comparison with the tradition of critical rationalism, in particular the thinking of K.R. Popper and H. Albert.

No full textAnti-satellite weapons (ASAT) are one of the major challenges to international security in the «Fourth Domain», namely outer space. This was proved by the test made by Russia in November 2021 and the reaction of the international community. The present testing of said arms against its own satellites, as well as the future and probable operating use of said arms against satellites of other States, raises the problem of their compatibility with international law. In particular, it is being debated in various international fora the legality of ASATs, whose use can generate space debris further congesting terrestrial orbits, thus interfering (and jeopardizing) the activities of other States.
The article concentrates on the existing rules of space law (jus ad bellum), (jus in bello) and environmental law in order to define the limits imposed on such activities. Then the author reviews the very recent phenomenon of unilateral declarations, by some States, of renunciation to test direct-ascent, kinetic ASAT, in order to assess if such renunciation may constitute the embryo of evolving customary law
