Metafore tra concettualizzazione e traduzione nel latino cristiano delle origini (Prima Lettera di Clemente)
No full textIl presente lavoro esamina due tipi di concettualizzazione metaforica documentati nella Prima Lettera ai Corinzi attribuita a Clemente di Roma, il primo testo cristiano scritto in greco a Roma alla fine del I secolo e tradotto in latino presumibilmente entro la metà del II secolo. Nello specifico, l'analisi si concentra sulle metafore agonistiche e militari per mostrare come le scelte linguistiche dell'autore e del traduttore contribuiscano alla formazione del lessico cristiano nelle due lingue, spesso in modo originale. Queste metafore mescolano tratti linguistici e culturali ebraici, ellenistici e romani, in una sintesi che diventa una caratteristica del linguaggio dei cristiani.This paper examines two kinds of metaphorical conceptualization documented in the First Epistle to the Corinthians attributed to Clement of Rome, the first christian text written in Greek in Rome at the end of the 1st century and translated into Latin presumably by the middle of the 2nd century.
Specifically, the analysis focuses on agonistic and military metaphors to show how the linguistic choices of the author and the translator contribute to the formation of the christian lexicon in the two languages, often in an original way. These metaphors mix Jewish, Hellenistic and Roman linguistic and cultural traits, in a synthesis that becomes a feature of the language of christians
A new case of short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency: clinical, biochemical, genetic and (1)H-NMR spectroscopic studies.
No full textShort-chain-acyl-CoA-dehydrogenase (SCAD) deficiency is an inborn error of mitochondrial fatty acid metabolism caused by rare mutations as well as common susceptibility variations in the SCAD gene. We describe the case of a 23-year-old male patient who had growth and mental retardation, recurrent vomiting, fever and seizures since infancy. Urinary gas chromatography and (1)H-nuclear magnetic resonance showed elevated levels of ethylmalonic acid. Serum concentrations of acylcarnitine, especially butyrylcarnitine (C4), were abnormally high. A homozygous variant allele of the SCAD gene, 625G>A, was detected. The patient broadens the clinical phenotype of SCAD deficiency and underlines the difficulty of diagnosis. The limited number of patients described may be the result of underdiagnosis
Relazioni economiche Italia - Mongolia : stato attuale e potenzialità di sviluppo
No full textLAUREA MAGISTRALEIn un contesto globale in cui il PIL dei paesi emergenti ha superato quello dei paesi sviluppati, l’interesse degli imprenditori deve orientarsi sempre più verso nuovi orizzonti.
Dopo che i BRIC e gli STIM sono più emersi che emergenti sfidando le più influenti economie del mondo, la ricerca di un paese non ancora del tutto svelato e in piena evoluzione ha indirizzato la nostra curiosità verso l’analisi del paese Mongolia.
La Mongolia con il suo tasso di crescita del PIL pari al 17%, una geografia che la inserisce fra le giganti Cina e Russia, un suolo di 1.565.000 km2 ricco di materie prime che vanno dal minerario al cashmere e poco meno di 3 milioni di persone rappresenta uno dei più particolari casi di studio fra i paesi in via di sviluppo.
Ad oggi i dati e la letteratura su tale economia sono ancora insufficienti a valutare quanto essa sia effettivamente promettente, in particolare le asimmetrie informative scoraggiano gli investitori internazionali.
Il nostro lavoro si inserisce in questo contesto, cercando in primo luogo di inquadrare
il Paese e quindi di valutare le opportunità che esso può offrire agli imprenditori italiani dei settori che, in seguito alle nostre analisi, abbiamo giudicato più compatibili.
La struttura della tesi corrisponde con il nostro percorso di acquisizione di conoscenza, partendo da un quadro generale per arrivare via via ad un livello sempre più dettagliato e specifico.
Facendo riferimento agli strumenti di ricerca di analisi della letteratura e di conduzione di interviste agli esperti del campo, gli obiettivi a cui volevamo rispondere sono:
definizione del macro-ambiente attraverso un’analisi PEST, valutazione delle necessità della Mongolia, studio del sistema organizzativo utile all’avvio di relazioni internazionali, stima delle opportunità nella relazione Italia e Mongolia e approfondimento dei settori.In a global context where the GDP of emerging countries has exceeded that of the developed countries, the interest of entrepreneurs should be oriented more and more towards new horizons.
After the BRIC and STIM emerged that are more challenging the most influential emerging economies of the world, the search for a country not yet fully revealed and evolving our curiosity directed towards the analysis of the country Mongolia.
Mongolia with its rate of growth in GDP of 17%, a geography that places it among the giants China and Russia, a land of 1,565,000 km 2 rich in raw materials ranging from mining to cashmere and a little less than 3 million of persons is one of the most unique case studies from countries in the developing world.
To date the data and literature on this economy are still insufficient to assess how it is indeed promising, particularly information asymmetries discourage international investors.
Our work fits in this context, in the first instance to frame
the country and then to evaluate the opportunities it can offer to Italian businessmen of the areas that, as a result of our analysis, we considered more compatible.
The thesis structure corresponds with our path of acquisition of knowledge, starting with a general framework for gradually arrive at a level more detailed and specific.
Referring to the research instruments for the analysis of literature and conducting interviews with experts in the field, the objectives that we wanted to answer are:
definition of the macro-environment through a PEST analysis, needs assessment of Mongolia, the study of the organizational system of international relations at startup useful, estimate of opportunity in the report, Mongolia Italy and study areas
Spectral CT in peritoneal carcinomatosis from ovarian cancer: a tool for differential diagnosis of small nodules?
No full textThe detection of peritoneal carcinomatosis in patients with ovarian cancer is crucial to establish the correct therapeutic planning (debulking surgery versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy). Often, however, the nodules of peritoneal carcinomatosis are very small in size or have a reticular appearance that can mimic the fat stranding that is typical of acute inflammation conditions. Our hypothesis is that the use of dual-layer spectral computed tomography with its applications, such as virtual monoenergetic imaging and Z-effective imaging, might improve the detection and the characterisation of peritoneal nodules, increasing sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy, as recently described for other oncological diseases
Homocystinuria with transverse sinus thrombosis
No full textA case of cerebral venous thrombosis caused by undiagnosed homocystinuria is reported. The pitfalls regarding the diagnosis of a potentially medically treatable condition are discussed. Cerebral venous thrombosis in children has a variable type of onset and a multiplicity of causes. This type of pathology, although not frequent, is more common than previously thought. Among the different etiologies, undiagnosed homocystinuria is not routinely considered. We report a case of venous thrombosis of the left transverse cerebral sinus in a girl with drug-resistant partial epilepsy and homocystinuria. This diagnosis was considered and confirmed after the appearance of acute cerebral symptoms caused by venous thrombosis
Dissoi Logoi: A New Commented Edition
No full textWhat in 1897 Ernst Weber first called ‘Dissoi Logoi’ is an untitled work written by an anonymous author in a peculiar kind of Doric dialect and which was handed down at the end of a few manuscripts of Sextus Empiricus. Since Thomas Robinson’s authoritative edition in 1979, most scholars have regarded Dissoi Logoi as a collection of lecture notes by a sophist lived between the 5th and 4th century BCE. In this thesis, articulated in five chapters, I will analyse and, where necessary, rethink the standard view about the most salient historical, philological and philosophical matters concerning Dissoi Logoi.
After briefing the reader on the theoretical and methodological framework of my research (Preface), I will devote the first chapter (Introduction) to the transmission, language, literary influences, date, place, and nature of the work.
In the second chapter (Critical Text and Translation), I will offer my critical Greek text of Dissoi Logoi and a parallel English translation of it.
In the third chapter (Commentary), I will closely analyse the most relevant lemmas, from a linguistic, rhetorical and philosophical viewpoint.
In the fourth chapter (The Author’s Message), firstly, I will investigate the work as a whole, thus tackling the highly debated problem of its unity; then, I will draw an overall outline of the author’s sophistic thought; finally, I will assess the possible theoretical connections between this work and the later Pyrrhonean tradition.
At the end of this journey, I will summarize the various conclusions which I have reached throughout the thesis and which delineate a new portrait of Dissoi Logoi, alternative to that of the standard view (Conclusion)
Direct speech, subjectivity and speaker positioning in London English and Paris French
No full textThis paper examines functional similarities and differences in the use of pragmatic features – in particular quotatives and general extenders – on the right and left periphery of direct quotations. This comparative study, based on the analysis of a contemporary corpus of London English and Paris French (MLE – MPF) , finds that the form and frequency of these particles tend to vary not only with respect to social factors such as speakers’ age and gender, but also with respect to the different pragmatic functions they come to perform in different interactional settings. The contemporary data is analysed both qualitatively and quantitatively to show how different variants position the speaker in relation to: i) the content of the quote, ii) the interlocutors, iii) the presumed author of the quote. The paper aims to contribute to a better understanding of pragmatic universals and variability in the use of direct speech
