No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2013.Com a intenção de delinear o modo pelo qual o escritor italiano Alessandro Baricco se inseriu no sistema literário brasileiro e os caminhos percorridos pelos seus livros traduzidos, esta dissertação dá voz às experiências tradutórias de seus tradutores. A inserção de Bariccono Brasil tem seu início em 1997, através de uma proposição da Profa. Dra. Roberta Barni à editora Iluminuras da tradução de Oceano Mare. A partir daí, outras sete obras foram publicadas no Brasil, sendo três delas traduzidas por Roberta Barni e as outras quatro por quatro tradutores diferentes. De um lado, considera-se o tradutor como figura principal namediação entre culturas, e, de outro, se analisa a realidade desta figuradentro do sistema literário, sua invisibilidade, seus limites e o exercíciode sua profissão. A pesquisa conta, ainda, com críticas e resenhas referentes ao autor italiano publicadas em jornais consagrados no Brasil, considerando estas como parte constituinte da imagem de Baricco refletida em território nacional. Abstract : Intending to delineate the way the Italian writer Alessandro Baricco has been inserted in the Brazilian literary system and the paths his translated books have followed, this thesis gives voice to the translating experiences of his translators. Baricco's insertion in Brazil began in 1997, through a personal project of Dr. Roberta Barni, with her translation of Oceano Mare. Since then, seven other of his works have been published in Brazil, three of which were translated by Roberta Barni and the other four by four different translators. On the one hand,the translator is considered as the main figure in mediation betweencultures and, on the other, this figure's reality is analyzed within theliterary system: its invisibility, its limits and its professional practice. Criticisms and reviews of this Italian author published in well established Brazilian newspapers are also considered, with the understanding that they are part of Baricco's image reflected here
Adjuvant hormonal therapy and fertility preservation in premenopausal breast cancer: A survey among Italian oncologists
No full textBackground: Increasing age of first pregnancy among Italian women with premenopausal breast cancer makes adjuvant hormonal therapy a hot topic, justifying a survey on the therapeutic approach of Italian oncologists. Materials & methods: From April to July 2012, an 11-item electronic questionnaire was submitted to Italian oncologists and 611 out of 974 invited filled questionnaires were collected from all over Italy. Results: In total, 97.7% of patients aged <40 years needing only hormonal therapy would receive both tamoxifen and luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists (LHRHa); 2.3% tamoxifen or LHRHa alone. For the majority of oncologists LHRHa was also the preferred choice to preserving fertility. Conclusion: Results are rather consistent with major guidelines but with a greater use of LHRHa and aromatase inhibitor
Mapping immigrant languages in Italy
No full textThe book, edited by the author of the present chapter and Guus Extra, focuses on linguistic diversity. Within the European context, linguistic diversity can be studied at the level of both official state languages and non-national languages, in terms of both
regional and immigrant languages. The chapter focuses on mapping linguistic diversity in Italy, and methodological issues and empirical outcomes are explored for these languages. In particular, by focusing on how migrant group languages enter into the Italian linguistic space, and on the effects this has on that linguistic space, the aim is to analyse the data collected with respect to these processes to verify the hypothesis that these languages may constitute a factor that restores space and vitality to Italy’s longstanding plurilingualism, rejuvenating it by adding new elements of plurilingualism.
The paper presents the results of the research carried out at Centre of Excellence - Permanent Observatory of Immigrant Languages in Italy and of the spread of Italian language in the world - established by MIUR at the Università per Stranieri in Siena

Number of lung resections performed and long-term mortality rates of patients after lung cancer surgery: evidence from an Italian investigation
No full textOBJECTIVES: Although it has been postulated that patients might benefit from the centralization of high-volume specialized centres, conflicting results have been reported on the relationship between the number of lung resections performed and the long-term, all-cause mortality rates among patients who underwent surgery for lung cancer. A population-based observational study was performed to contribute to the ongoing debate.
METHODS: The 2613 patients, all residents of the Lombardy region (Italy), who underwent lung resection for lung cancer from 2012 to 2014 were entered into the cohort and were followed until 2018. The hospitals were classified according to the annual number of pulmonary resections performed. Three categories of lung resection cases were identified: low (<30), intermediate (31–95) and high (>95). The outcome of interest was all-cause death. A frailty model was used to estimate the death risk associated with the categories of numbers of lung resections performed, taking into account the multilevel structure of the data. A set of sensitivity analyses was performed to account for sources of systematic uncertainty.
RESULTS: The 1-year and 5-year survival rates of cohort members were 90% and 63%. Patients operated on in high-volume centres were on average younger and more often women. Compared to patients operated on in a low-volume centre, the mortality risk exhibited a significant, progressive reduction as the numbers of lung resections performed increased to intermediate (-13%; 95% confidence interval +10% to -31%) and high (-26%; 0% to -45%). Sensitivity analyses revealed that the association was consistent.
CONCLUSIONS: Further evidence that the volume of lung resection cases performed strongly affects the long-term survival of lung cancer patients has been supplied
Is it time for everolimus-based combination in castration-resistant prostate cancer?
No full textProstate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in men in most western countries [1]. Recently, several drugs with different mechanisms of action have been approved for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). In addition, next-generation antiandrogens such as orteronel, ARN-509 and galeterone are under investigation in several trials [1]. Understanding tumor biology will become increasingly important for therapeutic decisions in the near future. Considering all these data, we deem that targeting the AR pathway, along with the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling in acquired PTEN loss metastatic CRPC, that is resistant to novel antiandrogenic therapies, maybe an interesting approach that needs to be tested in clinical studies. There are several potential predictive biomarkers which may help in the identification and selection of patients suitable for this novel therapeutical approach
Treatment of venous thromboembolism with tinzaparin in oncological patients
No full textVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with cancer. For over a decade, the gold standard of treatment and secondary prevention of cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) has been represented by low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWHs), which are currently recommended as the first-line treatment for CAT. Among the LMWHs that were more extensively tested in patients with CAT, tinzaparin is a LMWH produced by the enzymatic degradation of porcine-derived unfractionated heparin. The efficacy of tinzaparin in this setting is supported by well-grounded evidence. However, there is a need to discuss the positioning of tinzaparin in the continuously evolving treatment scenario of VTE therapy in cancer patients. In this paper, which was developed by a group of clinicians with wide experience in the treatment of VTE in cancer patients, we discuss the current therapeutic options and the role of tinzaparin for the treatment of CAT

Umgengnisréttur barna í fóstri - Tekur hann mið af meginreglunni um það sem barni er fyrir bestu?
No full textTilgangur ritgerðarinnar er að rannsaka hvort tekið sé mið af meginreglunni um það sem barni er fyrir bestu þegar ákvörðun er tekin um umgengnisrétt barna í fóstri við foreldra og aðra nákomna og hvort úrbóta sé þörf. Rannsóknarspurning er eftirfarandi: „Er tekið mið af meginreglunni um það sem barni er fyrir bestu þegar ákvörðun er tekin um umgengnisrétt barna í fóstri við foreldra og aðra nákomna?“ Gerð er grein fyrir hvernig réttarumhverfið er sem lýtur að gagnkvæmum rétti til umgengni þegar barn er í fóstri. Þá er fjallað nokkuð ítarlega um meginregluna um það sem barni er fyrir bestu til þess að geta svarað rannsóknarspurningunni. Höfundi þótti jafnframt nauðsynlegt að taka viðtöl við starfsfólk barnavernda enda er það starfsfólkið sem stendur þessum málum næst. Eins voru úrskurðir sem fallið hafa um málefnið, yfir tímabilið janúar 2012 til nóvember 2017 skoðaðir. Markmiðið var að athuga að hve miklu leyti fallist er á úrskurði barnaverndarnefnda um umgengni og hvað ylli því þegar svo var ekki. Helstu niðurstöður höfundar eru að tekið sé mið af meginreglunni um það sem barni er fyrir bestu við ákvörðun um umgengni er barn er í fóstri. Höfundur telur þó gagnrýnisvert að starfsfólk barnavernda hafi ekki verið kynnt að ráði almenn athugasemd nr. 14 um rétt barnsins til að allar ákvarðanir sem varða það séu byggðar á því sem því er fyrir bestu. Athugasemdina gaf Barnaréttarnefnd út árið 2013 til þess að skýra og veita nánari leiðbeiningar um hvað felst í hugtakinu um það sem barni er fyrir bestu. Þá telur höfundur að úrbóta sé þörf þegar kemur að því hverjir aðrir en foreldrar geti farið fram á að ákvörðun sé tekin um hvort þeir eigi umgengnisrétt við barn í varanlegu fóstri. Höfundur leggur því til breytingar hvað það varðar.The objective of this thesis is to analyse, when decisions are made concerning parents’ and close relatives’ right of access to children in foster care, whether note is taken of the child’s best interests principle, and whether improvements need to be made. The hypothesis is the following: “Is note taken of the child’s best interests principle when decisions are made regarding the right of access between children in foster care and their parents and other close relatives?” The legal framework around the mutual right of access pertaining to children in foster care is analysed. A detailed account is given of the child’s best interests principle, to shed a brighter light on the hypothesis. The author also felt it would be helpful to interview people who work in child protection; the people who deal with these matters on a daily basis. Rulings on the matter, from January 2012 to November 2017, are also examined with the objective of determining to what extent the decisions of child protection committees on the right of access, are confirmed, and which reasons were given in the cases they were not confirmed. The main findings of the author are that note is indeed taken of the child’s best interests principle in decisions on the right of access concerning children in foster care. However, the author is critical of the fact that employees working in the field of child protection have not been adequately familiarised with the General Comment No. 14 on the right of the child to have his or her best interests taken as a primary consideration. The comment was made by the Committee on the Rights of the Child in 2013, to explain and provide guidelines on the comprehension of the term Child’s Best Interests. The author believes improvements are necessary concerning who other than parents can demand a decision on whether they have a right of access to a child in permanent foster care, and proposes changes in that respect
