Mindscapes: Laura Riding's poetry and poetics /
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão.Esta tese propõe uma leitura revisionista da poesia contemporânea através do exame do caso de um dos mais esquecidos escritores norte-americanos do século XX: Laura (Riding) Jackson (1901-1991). O objetivo é demonstrar que Riding não apenas possuía uma poética definida e singular, mas que ela permanece uma das instâncias mais extremas e paradoxais do modernismo anglo-americano, a ponto de Riding abandonar a escrita da poesia em 1938. Recorrendo a conceitos de "formação do cânone" bem como às noções de "discurso" e "função do autor", em Foucault, investigo a construção do cânone da poesia moderna anglo-americana, recuperando o contexto e as circunstâncias da ocultação de Riding. Enquanto cubro os "discursos" poéticos em circulação na primeira metade do século XX-o "imagismo" de Pound, a "dissociação da sensibilidade", "impersonalidade" e "tradição" de Eliot, a "unidade orgância" e "ambigüidade" da Nova Crítica-ofereço um panorama crítico de modernismos alternativos sendo articulados à época. Minha intenção é demonstrar que os poemas de Riding são expressões vigorosas de um escritor para quem "a mente pensando se torna a força ativa do poema", para usar a apta formulação de Charles Bernstein. Entre minhas descobertas sobre as várias e complexas razões que levaram à não-canonização de Riding estão a hegemonia da Nova Crítica, o exílio voluntário de Riding da cena literária (onde são feitas ou desfeitas as reputações), sua recusa em ser antologiada, bem como em ser explicada em termos críticos que não os dela. Todos esses fatores, mais a "dificuldade" de sua poesia, contribuíram para fazer de Riding "a maior poeta esquecida da poesia norte-americana", como escreveu Kenneth Rexroth. Ajudado pelos insights de dois importantes críticos de poesia norte-americana, Charles Bernstein e Marjorie Perloff, defendo que a "poesia da mente" de Riding-onde o que está em jogo é que o que pensamos ser a nossa realidade-representa uma mudança radical no paradigma da poética modernista: de uma poesia centrada na imagem para uma poesia centrada na linguagem. Focalizando a experiência consciente e o tempo duracional do pensamento presente em seus poemas, concluo que as "pensagens" de Riding têm o objetivo preciso de constatar um fato universal: enquanto seres humanos e pensantes, estamos numa condição permanente chamada linguagem

Heritage tourism: a case study of the Laura Ingalls Wilder Heritage Site at Pepin, Wisconsin
No full textPlan BMany things must be taken into consideration when developing a heritage tourism site. It can be a wonderful opportunity for the community involved to benefit economically and historically. Heritage tourism can keep alive the heritage and traditions of the communities past. When it is discovered that a heritage site exists, the first step is to consult with the community. A site will not succeed without the acceptance and assistance from the community involved. Once the interest is known, the development process can proceed. After determining that there is a heritage tourism site possibility in their area, a commumity must do research to determine the feasibility of the site, what will make it a success, and how to obtain that success. This study will examine a community with a heritage tourism site that has been successful in developing and maintaining it's site. By conducting this study, other communities seeking information for developing their site will have an example and tool to work with. The site chosen for this study is the Laura Ingalls Wilder site in Pepin, Wisconsin. The town is rich with it's heritage associated with Laura Ingalls Wilder. The development and success for this town will be documented through this study. Laura Ingails Wilder is a perfect choice for examining heritage tourism. The author of many American Pioneer books, she has become famous all over the world. In turn all places that she or her family members lived are or are becoming heritage tourism sites. There are older ones that have been in progress for some years, such as the one in Pepin, and there are ones that are being discovered through the popularity of new books written about Laura's family. These communities would benefi greatly from the information this study will produce. Without the bene-fit of this knowledge communities who are unaccustomed to tourism or the way the other Laura Ingalls Wilder sites operate, may make terrible errors in development, tarnishing the site. This may also reflect badly on the other Laura Ingalls Wilder sites. It is important for new Wilder sites to examine all information and know exactly what they are doing when developing the site. If all the Laura Ingalls Wilder sites can benefit from each other's knowledge and experience it will greatly increase the market for all sites. The more detailed and expansive the sites are about their knowledge and sites to see, the more people are going to want to travel to as many sites as possible, learning all they can about the life of Laura Ingalls Wilder and her family. These sites not only attract Laura Ingalls Wilder fans but all people that are interested in the American Pioneer period of the United States history. This study will provide the knowledge for communities who are developing heritage tourism sites, especially those focusing on Laura Ingalls Wilder. This is a very important study for tourism and especially heritage tourism. When a heritage site is discovered communities run into the barrier of not having the experience and knowledge to develop the site properly. This study will analyze tourism in Pepin, Wisconsin to determine it's successfulness due to the fact that it is a Laura Ingalls Wilder heritage tourism site, and Wfit was developed in a way to provide tourists with a view of Laura Ingalls Wilder's past and the past of many Pioneer Americans. By studying this subject it will allow for many people to benefit. Tourist who are seeking the pleasure of the knowledge of the past, and communities who want to preserve their past and profit from tourism

Prevalence of postoperative complications in patients undergoing resection of supratentorial tumors and its relation to preoperative anemia
No full textIntroducción: La incidencia de anemia en los procedimientos neuroquirúrgicos varía según la población y la cirugía, siendo de moderada a grave (hematocrito <30%) en cirugía craneal electiva del 2,7 %. Aunque no se han encontrado muchos de estos casos, se sabe que la anemia se relaciona con peores resultados de morbimortalidad a 30 días necesitando mayor requerimiento de trasfusión de hemoderivados en casos emergentes (1,2).
Materiales y métodos: Estudio de corte transversal de pacientes llevados a resección de tumores supratentoriales y su relación con anemia preoperatoria en la Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá entre el 2019-2023. Se realizó un muestreo consecutivo de pacientes que cumplían los criterios de inclusión y a través de un estudio de prevalencia se reportaron los resultados descriptivos. Posteriormente, se realizó un análisis bivariado entre los desenlaces y factores de riesgo. El análisis de los resultados se obtuvo a partir de regresiones logísticas y se expresaron como OR’S para su adecuada interpretación.
Resultados: Se analizaron 295 pacientes entre el 2019 al 2023 de la Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá encontrando una prevalencia de 38.31% de pacientes con anemia preoperatoria (corregida según la altura de la ciudad). Se encontró una prevalencia de anemia preoperatoria del 38.31%. A pesar de una asociación significativa entre anemia y la infección del sitio operatorio (P=0.0001), no se observó dependencia entre la anemia y la incidencia de insuficiencia renal postoperatoria o infarto agudo de miocardio. La clasificación Clavien-Dindo reveló una prevalencia del 31.53% de complicaciones postoperatorias, con predominio de grados I y II. La estancia hospitalaria mediana fue de 4 días, aunque pacientes con anemia preoperatoria mostraron casos de estancias prolongadas extremas.
Conclusión: Se encontró que los pacientes con anemia preoperatoria presentan mayor prevalencia de complicaciones en el postoperatorio que fueron llevado a cirugía de resección de tumores supratentoriales.Fundación Santafé de BogotáEspecialista en AnestesiologíaEspecializaciónIntroduction: The incidence of anemia in neurosurgical procedures varies by population and surgery, being moderate to severe (hematocrit <30%) in elective cranial surgery 2.7% (1,2). Although not many of these cases have been found, it is well known that anemia is related to worse morbimortality results at 30 days, requiring more transfusion of blood products in emergent cases of subarachnoid hemorrhage (1,2).
Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional study of patients undergoing supratentorial tumor resection and their relationship with preoperative anemia at the Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá between 2019-2024. A consecutive sampling of patients who met the inclusion criteria was performed and descriptive results were reported through a prevalence study. Then, a bivariate analysis was performed between outcomes and risk factors. The analysis of the results was obtained from logistic regressions and expressed as OR'S for proper interpretation.
Results: We analyzed 295 patients between 2019 and 2023 from the Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá, finding a prevalence of 38.31% of patients with preoperative anemia (corrected according to the altitude of the city). Preoperative anemia prevalence was found to be 38.31%. Despite a significant association between anemia and surgical site infection (P=0.0001), no dependency was observed between anemia and the incidence of postoperative renal insufficiency or acute myocardial infarction. The Clavien-Dindo classification revealed a 31.53% prevalence of postoperative complications, predominantly grades I and II. The median hospital stay was 4 days, although patients with preoperative anemia exhibited cases of extremely prolonged stays.
Conclusion: Patients with preoperative anemia had a higher prevalence of postoperative complications than those who underwent supratentorial tumor resection surgery
