INFRA. INtergenerazionalità, Famiglia e FRAgilità.
No full textIl Quaderno INFRA racconta il percorso di implementazione e gli esiti della ricerca nata nell'ambito del Progetto INFRA- INtergenerazioonalta', Famiglia e FRAgilità (finanziato dall Ministero del Lavoro e delle Politiche Sociali, legge 328/2000,lettera F, annualità 2011. Il Progetto si è posto la finalità di valorizzare le esperienze familiari e associative di solidarietà tra le generazioni, parte del Forum, con lo specifico obiettivo di promuovere e tutelare il ruolo attivo di bambini e ragazzi nel rapporto familiare intergenerazionale, ponendo un focus specifico sul ruolo della relazione di cura nella situazioni di fragilità di anziani e minori. In ultimo ha tentato di leggere quali percorsi futuri attivare per promuovere intergenerazionalità internamente alla famiglia ma anche nello stesso Forum, che deve affrontare la sfida del cambio generazionale per non piegarsi su se stesso. Il Progetto si è concretizzato in una ricerca azione di tipo qualitativo (interviste, focus group, analisi documentale) con la duplice finalità di:
- esplorare il significato attribuito al concetto per una sua definizione maggiormente consapevole, utile a a delineare una cultura condivisa tra le realtà aderenti al Forum;
b- rilevare cosa fosse già attivo interno al Forum e con quali modalità rispetto alla dimensione dell'intergenerazionalità

Investigating discourse and texts through Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies (CADS)
No full textThis volume delves into Corpus-Assisted Discourse Analysis (CADS), providing a deeper understanding of the social practices that underpin discourse creation and the recurring characteristics of their associated textual elements. Divided into two sections, the volume clarifies CADS methodologies and showcases their applications, shedding light on a broad spectrum of topics such as sentiment analysis, corpus annotation, recurrent constructions at the intersection of lexicon and syntax, as well as strategies shaping the discourse of politics, media and healthcare. Its clear style, methodological depth, and practical case studies make it suitable for academics and PhD students involved in CADS
Translating gender, transgender and identity. The case of NatGeo
No full textThe investigation deals with the issue of how the notions of gender, transgender and identity are translated from English into Italian in a case study. This requires a translation of the notions of otherness and identity, which is extremely relevant if the society of the target language and culture is not yet prepared to speak about such issues, particularly when this is mediated through media discourse that plays an outstanding role in shaping public opinion and strengthening society. Maci’s analysis draws from Translation Studies with a Critical Discourse Analysis approach and a sociosemiotic analytical model investigation, with the aim of investigating the way in which the issues of gender, transgender and identity among young and adult people are dealt with in the 2017 January issue of NatGeo in its English and Italian versions. The results suggest that while in the translated text, attention has been paid to the different cultural contexts targeted, at times such attention has been overwhelmingly prudent, to such an extent that different texts have been created

No full textMACI Sandwich Technique With Autologous Bone Graft
No full textBackground: Osteochondral lesions of the knee are difficult to manage. Such lesions can be effectively treated with the matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation (MACI) “sandwich” technique using autologous chondrocytes on porcine collagen membrane in conjuction with autologous cancellous bone grafting (ABG). Few studies have examined this technique to restore the osteochondral unit. Indications: The MACI “Sandwich” procedure is indicated when osteochondral lesions are larger than 2 cm 2 in size and deeper than 8 to 10 mm, with symptoms consistent with the location of the lesion. Technique Description: The chondral defect is radically debrided back to healthy bone and cartilage tissue. The base of the bony cavity is drilled to enhance the vascular supply and promote healing. Next, the bony cavity is prepared to slightly undermine the subchondral bone surface around the articular margins, with the depth of the cavity wider than the opening, similar to a dental amalgam. The autologous cancellous bone is subsequently morselized and impacted up to the level of the native subchondral bone plate. The first MACI membrane with the cells facing up is placed directly onto the bone graft site and compressed with a neural patty. The neural patty is removed, and the second MACI membrane is then placed with the cells facing down. The edges are then micro-sutured to ensure stability. Results: The “sandwich” technique has superior survival rates compared with autologous bone grafting alone, with patients reporting decreased pain, improved function, and high satisfaction scores over a mid-term to long-term follow-up. Discussion/Conclusion: The MACI “sandwich” technique is an effective surgical intervention to restore the osteochondral unit and preserve the patient's native knee joint.

Introduction [to The Routledge Handbook of Scientific Communication]
No full textThis handbook approaches the study of scientific communication from a primarily rhetorical perspective, though some chapters also contain some linguistic and narrative analysis as well. A rhetorical perspective is a form of textual analysis that focuses on the purpose(s) of a text, bearing in mind the text’s effectiveness with respect to one or more target audiences. A rhetorical perspective, like other forms of textual analysis, is informed and shaped by organizational, national, and cultural contexts. Additionally, this handbook largely considers scientific communication—communication among scientists, including, in some cases, citizen scientists who participate in the scientific process—rather than science communication—communication between scientists and nonscientists. Finally, this handbook considers science as the largely inductive, experimental process that is characterized in general by partition, measurement, and quantitative analysis and that has evolved since the Scientific Revolution, centered mostly in Europe, in the late 1600s. It is fair to say that today no rhetoric defines our lives more than scientific rhetoric. As the form of rhetoric most commonly perceived as a source of knowledge, reality, and truth, scientific rhetoric occupies a dominant, privileged position among the types of rhetorics that shape human experience. Scientific rhetoric creates and consumes vast amounts of discursive energy for issues from the monumental to the mundane. Given its enormous epistemological and ontological potential, then, scientific rhetoric deserves careful, continual analysis from scholars of rhetoric and communication. Additionally, scientists need to be aware of the powerful role that scientific rhetoric plays in our culture and attend to their work with this discourse assiduously and ethically
