No full textThe Motherland of Arlecchino
Get PDFIn this article the Italian performer Claudia Contin Arlecchino reflects on her personal and artistic experience with the masque of Arlecchino (Harlequin) acquired in 35 years of practice, teaching and research. Working on different “archetypes” of Commedia dell’Arte (Zanni, Pantalone, Balanzone, Arlecchino, Brighella, Lovers, Captains, Servants, Courtesans, Pulcinella), and interrogating fundamental aspects of her own techniques and training, the author offers an insight into several components of the performer’s craft, such as the body, gymnastics, acrobatics, dance, impulses, rhythm, and exercises. What is at stake is the reconstruction of an extra-daily behaviour, which allows to give new life to an acting technique based on tradition

Minority stress and eating behavior among overweight and obese sexual minority women: an ecological momentary assessment study
No full textBackground: Sexual minority women are nearly three times more likely to be overweight or obese than their heterosexual counterparts, yet little research has investigated why or how sexual minority status confers risk for obesity in women (Boehmer, Bowen & Bauer, 2007). The current study examined the relevance of one factor, minority stress, as a mechanism for weight disparity in this group. Sexual minority women belong to multiple socially stigmatized groups: being non-heterosexual, being female, and for 60% of this group, being overweight. This “triple oppression” exposes sexual minority women to unique and chronic minority stressors, including repeated experiences of external stigmatization (i.e., being treated unfairly or differently) and internal stigmatization (i.e., internalized shame and hostility) (Meyer, 2003). Social rejection is stressful, causing chronic elevations in stress and negative emotion that some sexual minority women may try to regulate by overeating and/or binge eating. Over time, these behaviors may promote weight gain and risk for obesity, resulting in a positive feedback loop of stigmatization, stress, overeating, and weight gain.
Methods: To test this proposed theoretical model, the current study used Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) methods to examine whether lifetime and acute minority stress increased risk for elevated levels of stress, negative emotion, overeating, and binge eating in sexual minority women. 55 overweight or obese (BMI>25) sexual minority (e.g.,lesbian, bisexual, queer, pansexual) women were recruited from the local community to complete baseline assessments of eating behavior and minority stress related to sexual orientation, weight, and gender. For the following five days, participants used a smartphone application to report experiences of perceived stigmatization, overeating, binge eating, stress, and negative emotion five times daily.
Results: Study findings reveal promising support for the proposed model. As expected, women who reported greater lifetime heterosexist, gender-based, and weight-based stigma reported higher baseline levels of stress, depression, disordered eating symptoms, and binge eating symptoms, and greater daily stress and negative emotion during the EMA period. Stigma events reported during the EMA period were associated with greater concurrent negative emotion and overeating at the same signal, and being stigmatized on any given day was associated with more stress, negative emotion, overeating, and binge eating on that day.
Conclusions: The current study provides preliminary support for minority stress as a potential mechanism of the obesity disparity among sexual minority women. Given the paucity of research in this area and this study’s small and preliminary nature, findings justify future research studies to unpack the relevance and significance of minority stress as a risk factor for obesity among sexual minority women using longer monitoring periods and larger, more diverse samples. This research will be essential for developing effective, informed, and tailored interventions to reduce obesity, to increase knowledge and resources for coping, and to improve health among sexual minority women.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Emily Panz
LA SCENA SI FINGE IN VENEZIA: TOŻSAMOŚĆ MIAST LAGUNY WENECKIEJ W KOMEDIACH WŁOSKICH Z XVII I XVIII W
Get PDFMyth of Venice has left its clear imprint in the collective imagination. It used to thrive first of all on the city wealth, its amazing legal organization and famous entertainments (carnival and masks which guaranteed anonymity of the participants of a play, casinos, theatres and courtesans). The fame of this city is excellently shown in the book by a Neapolitan author, Diego Zunig, who describes Venice as “magnet of Europe, attraction for foreigners” which is well-known for its jurisdiction, festivities, theatres and gondolas (La calamita d’Europa attrattiva de’ forestieri in cui si descrive la sapienza, giustizia, pietà, gratitudine, fedeltà, generosità del Senato Veneto, le feste, i teatro, l’uso delle gondole, Bologna 1694). This stereotypical image can also be found in Italian comedies of 17th and 18th century whose plot takes place in Venice. They abound in rides in gondolas, serenadas, carnival and masks, entertainments such as casinos, beautiful courtesans and colorful and loud habitants of this city (bag carriers, gondoliers, massere, merchants, etc) and last but not least, Venice dialect. The most distinctive Venetian character is an old merchant called Magnifico or Pantalone, a character from dell’arte theatre.La Venezia da sempre fa parte dell’immaginario collettivo: è una città di rive e canali, d’arte e di carnevale. Il suo mito poggiava soprattutto sulla ricchezza della città dovuta all’attività commerciale, sulla sua costituzione politica e l’ordinamento giuridico, nonché sulla sua mondanità liberale e famosi intrattenimenti. La sua fama efficacemente viene colta dal libro La calamita d’Europa attrattiva de’ forestieri in cui si descrive la sapienza, giustizia, pietà, gratitudine, fedeltà, generosità del Senato Veneto, le feste, i teatro, l’uso delle gondole (Bologna 1694) di Diego Zuniga. Il titolo riassume perfettamente l’immagine idealizzata della città lagunare che possiamo trovare anche nelle commedie italiane del Sei e Settecento la cui azione viene ambientata a Venezia. Esse abbondano di elementi stereotipati, come gondole, serenate, intrattenimenti vari (carnevale, osterie, caffè, ridotti, festini, teatri), luoghi più tipici (Ridotto, Ghetto, Piazza, etc.), una galleria di personaggi chiassosi (facchini, massere, venditori ambulanti, rigattieri, barcaioli, etc.), non manca il dialetto veneziano né il tipo del vecchio mercante chiamato Magnifico o Pantalone.Mit Wenecji odcisnął wyraźny ślad na zbiorowej wyobraźni. Przywodzi on na myśli przede wszystkim bogactwo miasta, imponującą organizację prawną i słynne rozrywki (karnawał i maski, które gwarantowały anonimowość uczestników zabawy, kasyna, teatry i kurtyzany). Sława tego miasta została wspaniale oddana przez neapolitańskiego autora, Diega Zuniga w książce pt. La calamita d’Europa attrattiva de’ forestieri in cui si descrive la sapienza, giustizia, pietà, gratitudine, fedeltà, generosità del Senato Veneto, le feste, i teatro, l’uso delle gondole (Bolonia 1694). Jej autor Wenecję przedstawił jako „europejski magnes, atrakcję dla turystów”, To stereotypowe wyobrażenie może być odnalezione także w komediach włoskich z XVII i XVIII w., które rozgrywają się w Wenecji. One także obfitują w przejażdżki gondolą, serenady, karnawał i maski, rozrywki takie jak kasyna i piękne kurtyzany. Są tam również wielobarwni i głośni, posługujący się dialektem weneckim, mieszkańcy tego miasta: gondolierzy, przewoźnicy, i kupcy, w wśród nich najsłynniejsza postać: starego kupca zwanego Magnifico albo Pantalone
Predicting adherence to antiretroviral therapy and retention to HIV care : effects of baseline biopsychosocial status and neuropsychological functioning
No full textThese drugs have demonstrated efficacy in improving immune function and reducing HIV-related morbidity and mortality, and while a cure is not available, patients on treatment may live longer, healthier lives. However, early optimism has been tempered by the growing recognition that meticulous adherence is a prerequisite for optimal clinical response and prevention of drug resistance

U-shape association between hemoglobin A1c and late mortality in patients with heart failure after cardiac surgery
No full textHemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels are used as a measure of glycemic control, with greater levels indicating poorer control and a greater risk of death. However, recent studies have found a U-shaped association between the HbA1c levels and mortality in patients with heart failure, with the lowest risk of death associated with elevated HbA1c levels, usually 7percent. Cardiac surgery is frequently used to mitigate the signs and symptoms of heart failure. The purpose of the present study was to determine the association between HbA1c levels and late mortality in cardiac surgery patients with and without heart failure. Patients with and without New York Heart Association class III or IV heart failure were divided into quartiles according to the preoperative HbA1c level. Mortality was determined for each group and compared using chi-square tests and Cox modeling. Of the 311 patients with heart failure, 65 (21percent) were dead at follow-up compared to 57 of 669 patients (9percent) without heart failure (p 0.001). After adjusting for confounders, the patients without heart failure and with HbA1c ≤5.7percent had the lowest risk of death. In patients with preoperative heart failure, we found a U-shaped association between HbA1c levels and late mortality, with those patients with HbA1c levels of 5.8percent to 6.2percent having the lowest risk of death. HbA1c levels ≤5.7percent and ≥7.2percent were associated with statistically significant greater risks of death. In conclusion, we found in patients with heart failure that the lowest risk of death was associated with HbA1c levels of 5.8percent to 6.2percent. © 2013 Elsevier Inc.

Differential Transcriptome Reprogramming Induced by the Soybean Cyst Nematode Type 0 and Type 1.2.5.7 During Resistant and Susceptible Interactions
No full textSoybean cyst nematode (SCN, Heterodera glycines [Hg]) is a serious root parasite of soybean (Glycine max) that induces extensive gene expression changes associated with pleiotropic biological activities in infected cells. However, the impacts of various SCN Hg types on host transcriptome reprogramming remain largely unknown. Here, we developed and used two recombinant inbred lines (RIL; RIL-72 and RIL-137) to profile transcriptome reprogramming in the infection sites during the resistant and susceptible interactions with SCN Hg Type 1.2.5.7 and Type 0. SCN bioassays indicated that RIL-72 was susceptible to Type 1.2.5.7 but resistant to Type 0, whereas RIL-137 was resistant to both types. Comparative analysis of gene expression changes induced by Type 1.2.5.7 in the resistant and susceptible lines revealed distinct transcriptome regulation with a number of similarly and oppositely regulated genes. The expression levels of similarly regulated genes in the susceptible line appeared to be insufficient to mount an effective defense against SCN. The functional importance of oppositely regulated genes was confirmed using virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) and overexpression approaches. Further transcriptome comparisons revealed shared as well as Hg type- and genotype-specific transcriptome reprogramming. Shared transcriptome responses were mediated through common SCN-responsive genes and conserved immune signaling, whereas genotype-specific responses were derived from genetic variability, metabolic and hormonal differences, and varied regulation of protein phosphorylation and ubiquitination. The conserved defense mechanisms together with genotype-specific responses would enable plants to trigger effective and tailored immune responses to various Hg types and adapt the defense response to their genetic backgrounds.
