Raonament intel·lectual i materialitat del text: el cas de l'Ars inventiva veritatis de Ramon Llull
No full textRamon Llull's Ars inventiva veritatis (1290) is conserved in a manuscript closely connected with the author. The peculiar and complex disposition of the text of this codex permits us to study the careful organization of the work, revealing Llull's desire to guide the reader in certain specific directions. This makes evident, once again, the interrelation between the materiality and significance of the text
What Makes Help Helpful? Some Thoughts on Ethics of Solidarity Through George Orwell’s Writings
No full textOrganisations that offer personal services, whether this be
a law firm or a hospital, may be extremely good at offering technical
solutions to people, but when it comes to offering recognition, this is
much more of a challenge. These institutions often lack the ability to ‘be
respectful of each individual’.
Recognition is a central topic –often overseen– in the works of George
Orwell, the English journalist and writer who, after taking part in the
colonial system for five years, decided to ‘expiate his guilt’ by consecutively becoming homeless, taking part in agricultural labor, writing on the living conditions of the English working class and fighting as a militiaman in the Republican side during the Spanish Civil War. It was a process that spanned over several years, in which a well-educated, intellectually brilliant person, confronted and interacted with people of different countries and social backgrounds. The paper examines both failed and successful recognition experiences in Orwell’s life and work, hoping to draw some insights in how recognition works in practice.
The analysis reveals two dramatic points and leads to a pessimistic conclusion: the first point, already presented in the first part of the article, is that without recognition, no act of help will be really helpful. And secondly, real recognition only takes place between individuals. Which leads the author to conclude, confirming the initial suggestion of the paper, that full help cannot be given by any standardized procedure, and depends almost exclusively on the ability, commitment and willingness of individuals.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Cryotherapy for docetaxel-induced hand and nail toxicity: randomised control trial
No full textPurpose This study investigated the efficacy and safety of cryotherapy, in the form of frozen gel gloves, in relation to docetaxel-induced hand and fingernail toxicities. Patients and methods After piloting with 21 patients, a consecutive series sample of patients (n=53) prescribed docetaxel every 3 weeks, for a minimum of three cycles, was enrolled in this randomised control trial. Participants acted as their own control, with the frozen gel glove worn on one randomised hand for 15 min prior to infusion, for the duration of the infusion, and for 15 min of after completion of treatment. Hand and nail toxicities were evaluated by two blinded assessors according to CTCAE.v4 criteria. To assess the potential for cross-infection of multi-use gloves, microbial culture and sensitivity swabs were taken of each glove at every tenth use. Results Of the 53 participants enrolled in the main study, 21 provided evaluable data. There was a 60%withdrawal rate due to patient discomfort with the intervention. Themean incidence and severity of toxicities in all evaluable cycles in control and intervention hands respectively were erythroderma grade 1 (5/5 %), nail discolouration grade 1 (81/67 %), nail loss grade 1 (19/19 %) and nail ridging grade 1 (57/57 %). No significant differences were determined between hand conditions in terms of time to event, nor in terms of toxicity in gloved and nongloved hands. Conclusion While cryotherapy in the form of frozen gloves for the cutaneous toxicities associated with docetaxel is safe, its limited efficacy, patient discomfort and some logistical issues preclude its use in our clinical setting.No Full Tex
