Returning to the roots. A comment on the Paper “Alliance in Common Factor Land: A View through the Research Lens"
No full textThis work is a comment on a paper by Adam Horvath, who is
considered one of the most important therapeutic alliance researchers of our
time. In his interesting paper “Alliance in Common Factor Land: A View through the Research Lens,” Horvath (2011) takes us through the critical aspects of therapeutic alliance research and the challenges that researchers still have to face. The author discusses several complex issues − from the historical background of the construct to the critical aspects of its measurement, and concludes with the proposal of a research agenda
Il De anima di Aristotele e la rudis expositio aliquorum: una nota sull’ “antitomismo” di fine XIII secolo
No full textIn his De visione beatifica Dietrich of Freiberg criticizes a rude interpretation which some authors (rudis expositio aliquorum) gave on Aristotle’s concept of “nobility,” concerning a passage of De anima’s book III. Since De visione is considered one of the most antithomistic writings of Dietrich of Freiberg, Thomas Aquinas and his followers are usually regarded as the main polemical objective of the German Dominican theologian. However, as he does not explicitly quote Thomas, it is plausible that the expression rudis expositio is related to a broader interpretative context. Starting from these considerations, the author proposes an innovative solution to the problem. In so doing, he introduces a new approach to categories such as “thomism” and “antithomism.
Chatogekko GAMBLE, DAZA, COLLI, VITT AND BAUER 2011, GEN. NOV.
No full textCHATOGEKKO GAMBLE, DAZA, COLLI, VITT AND BAUER, GEN. NOV. (FIGS 5, 6) Type species: Sphaerodactylus amazonicus (Andersson, 1918) Diagnosis and description: A miniaturized species complex of diurnal sphaerodactyl geckos. Mean SVL 21 ± 1.8 mm, N = 41. Snout shortened. Pupil round. Body cylindrical. Dorsal scales keeled. Claws enclosed in ungual sheath consisting of four scales. Posterior edge of premaxilla contacts medial process of frontal bone. Posterior edge of ascending nasal process bifurcated. Palatine longer than vomer. Postparietal process of parietal in contact with supraoccipital and otooccipital, but not squamosal. Reduced paroccipital process located dorsally to fenestra ovalis. Chatogekko is distinguished from all gekkotans by the following unique combination of characters: (1) between two and four loreal scales (ls, Fig. 4A, also present in some Sphaerodactylus); (2) claws enclosed in an ungual sheath consisting of four scales (Parker, 1926; Vanzolini, 1957; Avila-Pires, 1995): inner supero-lateral (isl, Fig. 4B), outer supero-lateral (osl, Fig. 4B), inner infero-lateral (iil, Fig. 4C), and outer infero-lateral (oil, Fig. 4C) (ventrolaterals sensu Kluge, 1995); (3, Fig. 4D) keeled scales on dorsal body surface (Vanzolini, 1957; Avila-Pires, 1995), also present in some Sphaerodactylus; (4, Fig. 5A) bony external nares large and entering or approaching contact between prefrontal and nasals (as a consequence of extensive overlapping contact of maxilla and prefrontal); (5, Fig. 5A) posterior edge of premaxilla (i.e. the ascending nasal process) contacts medial process of frontal bone (Daza et al., 2008); (6, Fig. 5A) posterior edge of ascending nasal process bifurcated; (7, Fig. 5A) internasal contact absent; (8, Fig. 5A) jugal bone vestigial and limited to tip of maxilla; (9, Fig. 5A) postparietal process of parietal contacting supraoccipital and otooccipital, but not squamosal; (10, Fig. 5A) paroccipital process of otooccipital not visible in dorsal view; (11, Fig. 5B) paroccipital process very reduced and located dorsally to fenestra ovalis (instead of posterior as in other gekkotans) and not participating in quadrate articulation (paroccipital abutting); (12, Fig. 5B) palatine exceeds vomer substantially in length; (13, Fig. 10) duplicipalatinate condition; (14) a 3-bp deletion in coding region of exon 8 (in Gallus) of RBMX; and (15) a 3-bp deletion in coding region of exon 13 (in Gallus) of PTPN12. Distribution: Central and eastern Amazonia, including the Brazilian states of Acre, Amazonas, Rondônia, Mato Grosso, Roraima, Pará, and Amapá; French Guiana; Guyana; Suriname; the Venezuelan state of Amazonas; and northern Bolivia (Gasc, 1990; Avila-Pires, 1995; Langstroth, 2005; Geurgas & Rodrigues, 2010). Natural history: Chatogekko lives in the leaf litter in a variety of undisturbed lowland forested habitats (Vitt et al., 2005). These geckos are active throughout the day although they do not bask (Hoogmoed, 1973). Diet is made up of small insects including springtails, mites and ticks, termites, homopterans, and larval insects (Hoogmoed, 1973; Ramos, 1981; Vitt et al., 2005). Females lay one egg per clutch and can produce several clutches during the year (Hoogmoed, 1973; Gasc, 1990). Chatogekko can be locally very abundant but appears to be negatively affected by forest fragmentation (Carvalho et al., 2008). Etymology: A composite word from the Spanish and Portuguese ‘Chato’, derived from the Greek ‘Platus’, meaning ‘flat’ and referring to its pug-nosed snout; and gekko from the Malay ‘gekoq’, onomatopoeic of the call of the species Gekko gecko and the common name to all limbed gekkotans. A Sri Lankan origin for the word gekko, derived from the Sinhalese word ‘gego’, is also possible (de Silva & Bauer, 2008). The name is masculine. Species composition: Chatogekko amazonicus (Andersson, 1918). In addition, the names C. zernyi (Wettstein, 1928) and C. guimaraesi (Vanzolini, 1957) are available for populations from eastern Amazonia and southwest Amazon, respectively.

William of Peter of Godin and the Quaestio utrum essentiae rerum creatarum sint ab aeterno (Wien, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, ms. 1590)
No full textUn’analisi approfondita della tradizione manoscritta relativa al secondo li- bro della Lectura Thomasina di Guglielmo di Pietro di Godino (†1336) met- te in luce alcune significative varianti contenute nel manoscritto di Vienna (Österreichische Nationalbibliothek ms. 1590). In modo particolare la prima questione risulta essere differente rispetto a quella trasmessa dagli altri testi- moni: in effetti, laddove essi riportano circa primam distinctionem secundi libri qua- eritur primo utrum mundus possit fuisse ab aeterno, il copista di Vienna scrive quaestio prima est utrum essentiae rerum creatarum sint ab aeterno. Osservando somiglianze e differenze tra i due testi, questo studio tenta di stabilire se Godino sia effettivamente l’autore della quaestio prima di Vienna e se quest’ultima possa essere con- siderata una redazione alternativa del testo trasmesso dagli altri manoscritti.An in-depth analysis of all manuscripts preserving the second book of the Lec- tura Thomasina of the Dominican theologian William of Peter of Godin (†1336) reveals significant variants in Vienna manuscript (Österreichische National- bibliothek ms. 1590). In particular, the first question turns out to be different from the others: whereas all other manuscripts have circa primam distinctionem secundi libri quaeritur primo utrum mundus possit fuisse ab aeterno, the copyist of Vienna writes quaestio prima est utrum essentiae rerum creatarum sint ab aeterno. By comparing these two texts from different points of view, the study attempts to establish whether William of Peter of Godin is effectively the author of the text copied in the Vienna manuscript and whether this text can be included in the Lectura Thomasina’s manuscript tradition as alternative redaction
Photophysical properties of new p-phenylene- and benzodithiophene-based fluorophores for luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs)
No full textIn this study, we report on the synthesis of new organic fluorophores containing either the p-phenylene or the benzodithiophene cyclic nucleus connected to thiophene units via triple bonds and carbonyl group, and on their application for the fabrication of luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs). Their optical properties were evaluated. Independent of the core, dyes containing the CO-thiophene residues seem to be the most promising for LSCs applications. In fact, carbonyl groups slightly enhance the quantum yield but significantly increase the red-shift of the emission so that the superimposition between the absorbance spectrum and the emission one is diminished. In the case of the benzodithiophene centre, light emission in the yellow-red portion of the spectrum is achieved. The latter dye is then selected for tests in a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) matrix. It showed good compatibility and homogenous distribution, no auto-absorption phenomena, and optical efficiencies of about 8% at 1 wt. %, i.e. comparable with those PMMA/Lumogen Red films in the same range of concentration

EFEK PEMBERIAN TERAPI MUSIK TERHADAP PENURUNAN NYERI PADA ABSES COLLI : Studi Kasus di Ruang Parangtrits RSUD Dr. Saiful Anwar
No full textIntroduction: The prevalence of abscess colli is found to be around 11-13 cases per 100,000 population each year. The prevalence of this disease has decreased drastically since the era of antibiotics. These abscesses can cause significant pain in the area. Pain management can be pharmacological, such as administering pain relievers, or non-pharmacological, such as deep breathing relaxation techniques, warm compresses, and music therapy. By listening to music, the brain stimulates the release of endorphins, which reduce the pain felt in the affected area of the body. For this reason, this final scientific work aims to determine the provision of music therapy to reduce pain in colli abscesses.
Method: Using case study reports. In collecting data the author used two methods, namely interviews and observation. In data analysis, the author carried out anamnesis, observation, determined problem priorities, carried out nursing interventions and evaluations.
Outcome: After giving music therapy for 3 days for 10-15 minutes in a row at 11.00 WIB, pain complaints decreased (5 stages 1), grimaces decreased, protective attitudes decreased, difficulty sleeping decreased, pulse frequency improved to 77x/minute.
Discussion: Before abscess surgery, patients usually feel pain due to the inflammatory process due to infection. Non-pharmacological measures such as music therapy are believed to reduce pain. Music has the power to cure illnesses and improve one's mental abilities. A combination of music therapy and conventional treatment can provide a more optimal effect in reducing pain in abscess patient

Un neoeleatismo zenoniano? La dialettica scettica di F. H. Bradley e Giorgio Colli
No full textM. Visentin has identified a ‘neo-Parmenidean’ feature in 20th-century Italian philosophy, marked by the rejection of metaphysics as the rational attempt to ground experience. This essay explores a different neo-Eleatic feature in contemporary philosophy, focusing on two seemingly distant figures: F. H. Bradley, an alleged British Hegelian, and Giorgio Colli, an alleged Italian follower of Nietzsche. Through a comparative analysis – both historical and conceptual – of their logic and metaphysics, the Author outlines a ‘Zenonian’ neo-Eleaticism. This form of dialectic, not speculative like Hegel’s but aporetical and sceptical, draws on Plato’s 'Parmenides', Kant, and Herbart to expose the internal contradictions of discursive thought. Yet this dialectic does not lead the two philosophers to scepticism or anti-metaphysics, but rather to a ‘radical experientialism’ grounded in a paradoxical rationalist critique of rationalist metaphysics
