El viaje de Beatriz -La Sin Ventura-, en la mirada feminista de Alaíde Foppa
No full textThis study analyses part of the epic poem La Sin Ventura, written in 1955 by Guatemalan author Alaíde Foppa. This aesthetic work can be categorized in what is known as travel writing literary genre that depicts the colony of the “New World”. Both author and the poem’s main protagonist are important women in the history of Guatemala. On the one hand, Alaíde Foppa, academic, poet, art critic, political exiled, radio producer and allegedly disappeared by the Guatemalan army in the 80’s, was a precursor of Latin American feminism and Human Rights advocate. On the other, Beatriz de la Cueva was the wife of Pedro de Alvarado and first Governor of the Captaincy General of Guatemala in 1541. The main questions that guide this analysis are Why Alaíde Foppa decides to recreate the image of Beatriz de la Cueva? ¿Which elements did she find about Beatriz in chronicles written by Francisco Antonio de Fuentes y Guzman, Fray Antonio de Remesal and Bernal Díaz del Castillo in colonial Guatemala?En el presente trabajo se presenta parte del análisis al corpus del poema épico La Sin Ventura (1955), escrito por Alaíde Foppa. Este texto se enmarca dentro del género literario de relato de viajes durante la colonia al llamado “Nuevo Mundo”. El interés en su estudio radica en que tanto la escritora como la protagonista de esta obra son figuras históricas importantes para Guatemala, pero poco conocidas o estudiadas. Por un lado, Foppa, académica, poeta, crítica de arte, exiliada, productora de radio y desparecida presuntamente por el ejército guatemalteco en los años 80, fue precursora del feminismo latinoamericano y defensora de los Derechos Humanos. Por el otro, Beatriz de la Cueva fue la esposa del conquistador Pedro de Alvarado y primera gobernadora de la Capitanía General de Guatemala en 1541. En La Sin Ventura, Alaíde Foppa decide recrear la imagen de Beatriz de la Cueva, esposa del conquistador Pedro de Alvarado. Los cronistas Francisco Antonio Fuentes y Guzmán, Fray Antonio de Remesal y Bernal Díaz del Castillo mencionan muy brevemente a la esposa del conquistador en sus escritos. Sin embargo, Foppa utiliza a este personaje histórico como protagonista principal de este poema épico, enmarcado en la Guatemala colonial

Poesía y traducción en el exilio: la obra de Alaíde Foppa
No full textThis article analyzes the translation poetics and the translation context of Guatemalan author Alaide Foppa (1914) who lived in exile in Mexico. In 1980 she was kidnapped in Guatemala and the resting place of her remains is still unknown. Foppa was a woman of many talents: she was a poet, activist, feminist, art critic, editor, academic and translator. The focus is on three of the available poetry translations, from French, Italian and English: Paul Eluard, Michelangelo and Mary Oxlie of Morpet. The analysis of paratexts such as prologues and essays will help reveal Foppa’s vision on poetry translation and translation strategies. The analysis shows a tendency towards “recreative translation” (Jones 2011) and “translation as a personal oeuvre” (Campos 1996). At the same time, the paper aims at exploring to what extent Foppa’s situation as an exile as well as her multilingualism had an impact on her work as a translator.Este articulo analiza la poetica de traduccion de la autora guatemalteca Alaide Foppa (1914) y el contexto en el que tradujo como exiliada en Mexico. En 1980 fue secuestrada en Guatemala y hasta ahora se desconoce el paradero de sus restos. Foppa era una mujer polifacetica: poetisa, activista, feminista, critica de arte, editora, academica y traductora. El analisis se centra en tres traducciones, del frances, del italiano y del ingles: la poesia de Paul Eluard, Miguel Angel y Mary Oxlie de Morpet. Tambien se examinan los paratextos como prologos y ensayos con el fin de entender la vision de Foppa sobre la traduccion de poesia y sus estrategias de traduccion. El analisis apunta hacia una tendencia a la “traduccion recreativa” (Jones 2011) y la “traduccion como obra personal” (Campos 1996). Al mismo tiempo se investiga hasta que punto su exilio y su multilinguismo tuvieron un impacto sobre su trabajo como traductora
Diabetes and left ventricular structure abnormalities in African-Americans : methodologic issues in epidemiologic studies and The ARIC Study (The Arherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study)
No full textHipertrofia ventricular esquerda é um importante fator de risco em doença cardiovascular e pode ser responsável por parte do elevado risco cardiovascular associado a diabetes. Apesar de que o estresse hemodinâmico seja classicamente indicado como causa da injúria miocárdica que leva ao remodelamento, a injúria associada aos fatores neuro-humorais e a sinalização celular através da ativação imuno-inflamatória também desempenham um papel, acompanhando os mecanismos recentemente descritos na síndrome metabólica, particularmente na obesidade, onde a ativação do sistema imune inato leva a uma resposta inadequada crônica mediada por citocinas em diversos sistemas corpóreos. A ecocardiografia tem sido usada para identificar anormalidades da estrutura cardíaca, porém, variações metodológicas e os diversos ajustes para os determinantes da massa ventricular como idade, sexo, tamanho corporal e outros correlatos clínicos são motivo de debate, assim como a definição dos estados de anormalidade, tanto para hipertrofia ventricular esquerda, como para outras medidas da estrutura ventricular. Em uma amostra populacional de 1479 Afro- Americanos do Estudo ARIC, investigamos de forma estratificada e multivariada as associações independentes entre diabetes e as alterações estruturais do ventrículo esquerdo, definidas por hipertrofia ventricular, aumento da espessura relativa e padrões geométricos anormais. Encontramos prevalências elevadas dea alterações estruturais nos indivíduos com diabetes. Diabetes associou-se com hipertrofia ventricular em ambos os sexos e com espessura parietal aumentada e padrões geométricos anormais nas mulheres. Na maior parte dos modelos, as associações com diabetes foram minimizadas com os ajustes para obesidade, sugerindo que o impacto da obesidade sobre as alterações estruturais vistas em diabetes pode ser mediado por fatores outros do que a hiperglicemia. Essas novas evidências estão em sintonia com o conhecimento contemporâneo descrito.Left ventricular hypertrophy is an important risk factor in cardiovascular disease, which may respond for some of elevated cardiovascular risk associated with diabetes. Though hemodynamic stress has classically been indicated as a cause of myocardial injury that leads remodeling, injury associated with neuro-humoral factors and cellular signaling through an immune-inflammatory activation play a role. Much of that parallels mechanisms recently described in the Metabolic Syndrome, and particularly in obesity, where an innate immune system activation leads to a chronic inappropriate response mediated through cytokines in diverse bodily systems. Echocardiography has been used to identify structural abnormalities, but definition of methodologic and the adjustment for left ventricular mass determinants such as gender, age, body-size variables and other clinical correlates is matter of variavility among studies, as so is the definition of of left ventricular structural abnormalities. In a population-based sample of 1479 African-Americans from The ARIC Study, we investigated in stratified and multiply-adjusted analyses the independent associations among diabetes and left ventricular structural abnormalities, defined by left ventricular hypertrophy, incrased relative wall thickness and abnormal geometric patterns. We found higher prevalences of ventricular abnormalities in those with diabetes. Diabetes was associated with left ventricular hypertrophy in both genders, and with increased relative wall thickness and abnormal geometric patterns only in women. In most of analyses, associations with diabetes decreased considerably with adjustment for measures of obesity, suggesting that the impact of obesity on structural abnormalities seen in diabetes may be due to factors other than hyperglycemia. These additional evidences are in accordance with the contemporany knowledge stated

Business and merit : Giuseppe Foppa ( 1760-1845 ), venetian librettist. investigation on secret of a success
No full textAuteur de plus de 130 livrets d’opéra, Giuseppe Foppa (Venise 1760 - Ivi 1845) ne voit sa réussite professionnelle contestée par personne. La critique reconnaît unanimement sa faculté à produire des textes avec grand rendement et à servir avec efficacité les nombreux théâtres de Venise, entre 1780 et 1820. Mais elle s’est généralement montrée silencieuse, avare de compliments, voire acerbe, à propos de la valeur littéraire et poétique de ces livrets, malgré un récent regain d’intérêt pour l’auteur. Si la réussite autoriale de Foppa est jugée problématique, voire est contestée, c’est parce que persiste, depuis les origines du genre, une ligne critique qui déprécie le livret d’opéra, lui refuse sa valeur et sa dignité, au motif qu’il est un texte « imparfait », que le librettiste fait un métier subalterne, soumis à de nombreuses pressions externes. Pour Foppa, il y a en outre des circonstances ‘aggravantes’, a priori ‘désautorialisantes’ : la domination croissante du bel canto, le rythme d’écriture effréné, une tendance massive au réemploi, la difficulté d’inventer et de renouveler après Métastase et Goldoni. Sans chercher une réhabilitation forcée, nous réexaminons ce ‘mérite’ contesté à la lumière de son ‘métier’, c’est-à-dire de sa formation, du contexte de production où il travaille (théâtres, chanteurs, autres librettistes); nous entrons ensuite dans la ‘fabrique’ des livrets, pour dégager leurs atouts, pour réévaluer ses techniques de réemploi et de récriture, dans les livrets ‘dérivés’ d’autrui et dans ceux qualifiés ‘d’originaux’, et nous étudierons pour finir la façon dont il construit, tout au long de sa carrière, sa notoriété.Nobody contests the professional success of Giuseppe Foppa (Venice 1760 – Ivi 1845), author of more than 130 opera libretti. All literary criticism acknowledges his ability to produce many texts and to serve efficiently the many theaters of Venice between 1780 and 1820. But they usually remained silent, without complimenting him, or even despised him, concerning the literary and poetical value of these libretti, despite a recent new interest in the author. If the authorial success of Foppa is considered as a problem or even contested, it is because of the persistence, since the appearance of the genre, of a critical theory which is full of contempt towards the opera libretto, denying value and dignity to a text judged as « imperfect », thinking that the librettist is doing a substandard job, with many external pressures. For Foppa, there are ‘aggravating’ a priori ‘unauthoralising’ circumstances : the increasing domination of the bel canto, the wild rhythm of writing, a massive tendancy to re-use, the difficulty in inventing and in renewing after Metastasio and Goldoni. Without looking for a forced rehabilitation, we revise this merit disputed in the light of its job, that is in the light of its training, in the light of the context of production where it works (theaters, singers, other librettists); we enter then the 'factory' of libretti, to clear their assets, to revalue the techniques of re-use and of rewriting, in the 'derived' libretti of others and in those considered ' as originals ', and to finish we will study the way he builds, throughout his career, his fame

Associação entre escore de cálcio coronariano e strain longitudinal global do ventrículo esquerdo e parâmetros diastólicos no estudo ELSA-Brasil
No full textA quantificação da calcificação arterial coronariana (CAC) permite detectar a doença arterial coronariana em estágios subclínicos e tem se mostrado um importante preditor de eventos clínicos. As placas ateroscleróticas não obstrutivas podem não causar isquemia, mas podem afetar a homeostase da microcirculação coronariana com efeitos neuro-humorais e vasoativos, levando à modificação de parâmetros funcionais do ventrículo esquerdo. Neste estudo, avaliamos na coorte do ELSA-Brasil a associação entre aterosclerose subclínica (CAC > 0) e parâmetros funcionais do ventrículo esquerdo, medidos através de alteração do strain longitudinal global como marcador de disfunção sistólica subclínica e da relação E/e’, e’ septal e e’ lateral, como marcadores de disfunção diastólica. Foi observada associação do CAC com parâmetros de função ventricular esquerda, entretanto, esta associação não persistiu aos ajustes para as covariáveis. Dessa forma, não pudemos demonstrar uma associação independente entre aterosclerose subclínica e parâmetros ecocardiográficos de função ventricular.Coronary artery calcification (CAC) quantification allows the detection of coronary artery disease in subclinical stages and has been shown to be an important predictor of clinical events. Non-obstructive atherosclerotic plaques may not cause ischemia, but they have neurohumoral and vasoactive effects, which may ultimately affect left ventricular function parameters. In this study, we evaluated in the ELSA-Brasil cohort whether individuals with subclinical atherosclerosis (CAC > 0) would impact subclinical left ventricular function parameters as measured by global longitudinal strain (GLS), and the E/e’ ratio, septal e’ and lateral e’ as markers of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. We found an association of CAC with these left ventricular function parameters, however this association did not persist in adjusted models. Therefore, we could not demonstrate an independent association between subclinical atherosclerosis and echocardiographic parameters of ventricular function
