This article is about the Statute of the Indian from the educational point of view of equality. It aims to approach one of the branches of social rights, regarding education. This education is protected by the 1988 Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil and must be provided on an equal basis for students of basic education and indigenous academics. It is a fact that traditional populations, from basic education, receive an education in a different way, because of their language, customs. Based on this premise, the research sought to answer why offer differentiated treatment in basic education (primary and secondary) and not give the necessary support in higher education? In this context, we sought to get to know the reality of the indigenous peoples in terms of education, from the first steps until they entered the University. In addition, factors were pointed out that make it difficult for these scholars to remain in universities and the possible ways to attenuate the existing discrepancies in education and opportunity between indigenous and non-indigenous people. The methodology applied was the bibliographic review, with the use of books, legislation (especially the Statute of the Indian) and articles hosted in online journals. The results showed that despite the advances, there is still a long way to go to achieve an ideal education.

COVID-19 is a disease caused by a coronavirus, called SARS-CoV-2. This virus has become a major public health concern worldwide, causing a collective outbreak, leading to the pandemic in 2020. People become infected with other common coronaviruses throughout their lives, but currently the concern is the COVID-19 type due to its severity in some cases. The immune system protects the body against external aggressions and preserves the body's homeostasis, and nutrients are involved in the development and preservation of this system. Considering the degree of complications that can occur in an individual with COVID-19, regardless of their age group, and in some cases even lethal, there was an interest in researching studies about this disease, and which nutrients are mentioned in the literature regarding immunity in this disease. The aims of this research were to describe concepts about the disease COVID-19 and to identify nutrients involved in the immunity and treatment of this disease, through a literature review in the period from December 2019 to October 2020. There is no doubt that it is essential to maintain an adequate nutritional status, through a balanced diet that can contribute to a better coping with the infectious state. Supplementation of vitamins, minerals, probiotics and prebiotics can provide the immune system, several of them were cited as an adjunct to the treatment of COVID-19, including their doses, but there was a lack of agreement regarding the dose of nutrients. Obviously maintaining social distance, wearing masks and proper hygiene are essential to reduce the risk of contamination, while not having access to vaccination.

In this paper, we propose a method for determining the degree of malignancy in digital mammograms using artificial intelligence deep learning. Digital mammography is a technique that uses a low-energy X-ray of approximately 30 KVp to examine the breast. The goal of digital mammography is to detect breast cancer in an early stage by identifying characteristic lesions such as microcalcifications, masses, and architectural distortions. Frequently, microcalcifications appear in clusters that increase the ease of detection. In general, larger, round, and oval-shaped calcifications with uniform size have a higher probability of being benign; smaller, irregular, polymorphic, and branching calcifications with heterogeneous size and morphology have a higher probability of being malignant. The experimental images for this study were selected by searching for "mammogram" in the NIH database. The images were converted into JPEG format of 256 X 256 pixels and saved. The stored images were segmented, and edge detection was performed. Most of the lesion area was low frequency, but the edge area was high frequency. DCT was performed to extract the features of the two parts. Similarity was determined based on DCT values entered into the neural network. These were the findings of the study 1) There were 6 types of images representing malignant tumors. 2) There were 2 types of images showing benign tumors. 3) There were two types of images demonstrating tumors that could worsen into malignancy. Medical images like those used in this study are interpreted by a radiologist in consideration of pathological factors. Since discrimination of medical images by AI is limited to image information, interpretation by a radiologist is necessary. To improve the discrimination ability of medical images by AI, extracting accurate features of these images is necessary, as is inputting clinical information and accurately setting targets. The study of learning algorithms for neural networks should be continued. We believe that this study concerning the recognition of cancer on digital breast images by AI deep learning will be useful to the radionics (radiology and genomics) research field.

Demand-responsive rebalancing zone generation for reinforcement learning-based on-demand mobility
Authors: Castagna Alberto , Guériau Maxime , Vizzari Giuseppe , Dusparic Ivana
Published: January 2021

Enabling Ride-sharing (RS) in Mobility-on-demand (MoD) systems allows reduction in vehicle fleet size while preserving the level of service. This, however, requires an efficient vehicle to request assignment, and a vehicle rebalancing strategy, which counteracts the uneven geographical spread of demand and relocates unoccupied vehicles to the areas of higher demand. Existing research into rebalancing generally divides the coverage area into predefined geographical zones. Division is done statically, at design-time, impeding adaptivity to evolving demand patterns. To enable more accurate dynamic rebalancing, this paper proposes a Dynamic Demand-Responsive Rebalancer (D2R2) for RS systems. D2R2 uses Expectation-Maximization (EM) technique to recalculate zones at each decision step based on current demand. We integrate D2R2 with a Deep Reinforcement Learning multi-agent MoD system consisting of 200 vehicles serving 10,000 trips from New York taxi dataset. Results show a more fair workload division across the fleet when compared to static pre-defined equiprobable zones.

Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND: Numerous functions of saliva depend on its biophysical properties. Mouth rinses react with saliva and change both their own properties and properties of saliva. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to define the level of mixing of artificial saliva and mouth rinses, and define their viscosity and its changes at room and body temperature. METHODS: Artificial saliva, fluoride solutions, chlorhexidine, zinc-hydroxyapatite solution and casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate were used. To simulate their mixing, Y-channel PVC chips were used, in two different microfluidics systems. The experiments were recorded with a microscope, then the proportion of mixing was calculated using Matlab. For viscosity measurements rotational viscometer was used. RESULTS: The results show partial mixing of all solutions with artificial saliva. Measurements with a viscometer indicate different viscosities of all used solutions. Viscosity of a mixture of solution and artificial saliva is always in the range of viscosity of the artificial saliva and the solution separately. Moreover, viscosity of all solutions, as well as mixture with artificial saliva, significantly decreases at higher temperature. CONCLUSION: Intraoral administration of mouth rinses results in change of biophysical properties of both saliva and mouth rinses. Those changes can affect preventive and therapeutic effect, and therefore oral health.
Significance and Mechanisms Analyses of RB1 Mutation in Bladder Cancer Disease Progression and Drug Selection by Bioinformatics Analysis
Authors: Zhang Dingguo , Tian Jinjun , Xia Qier , Yang Zhenyu , Gu Bin
Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND:

Bladder cancer is still a disease of significant morbidity and mortality. In bladder cancer, RB1 is one of the most common mutant genes.

METHODS:

In this study, we explored the Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer (GDSC) database for drug sensitivity. The latest TCGA data were downloaded for analysis. To deal with functional enrichment analysis, GSEA, KEGG and GO were used. Prognostic analyses have been carried out using the GEPIA online tool.

RESULTS:

Results from the GDSC database showed that bladder cancer cells with RB1 mutation are more resistant to Dactolisib, MK-2206 and GNE-317. RB1 mutation was found in 25%bladder cancer patients. Patients with RB1 mutation often had lower RB1 mRNA expression level and higher histologic grade. In addition, we identified 999 differentially expressed genes in both groups. Functional enrichment analysis suggested that DEGs were primarily enriched in multiple metabolic progressions, cell proliferation and cancer related pathways. There were strong correlations between WT1, GPR37, CHRM2 and EZH2 expression levels and the prognosis.

CONCLUSIONS:

In all, the significance of RB1 mutation in disease progression and drug selection in bladder cancer was suggested by our results, and multiple genes and pathways related to such a program were identified.
India: Implementing the Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit-Sharing: Emerging Legal Challenges
Authors: Prasad Deva M. , Menon Suchithra C.
Published: January 2021

The Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit-Sharing was adopted to help clarify the existing provisions regarding access to biological resources in the Convention on Biological Diversity. India’s domestic access and benefit-sharing (ABS) mechanism leaves much to be desired in terms of legislative design and with regard to its adherence to the environmental principles of public participation and equity. This article highlights the emerging legal issues pertaining to these aspects of ABS under India’s Biodiversity Act. Its discussion makes a case for revamping the legislative and institutional framework for effective ABS in India.
The Complexity of Model-Checking Tail-Recursive Higher-Order Fixpoint Logic
Authors: Bruse Florian , Lange Martin , Lozes Etienne
Published: January 2021

Higher-Order Fixpoint Logic (HFL) is a modal specification language whose expressive power reaches far beyond that of Monadic Second-Order Logic, achieved through an incorporation of a typed λ-calculus into the modal μ-calculus. Its model checking problem on finite transition systems is decidable, albeit of high complexity, namely k-EXPTIME-complete for formulas that use functions of type order at most k < 0. In this paper we present a fragment with a presumably easier model checking problem. We show that so-called tail-recursive formulas of type order k can be model checked in (k − 1)-EXPSPACE, and also give matching lower bounds. This yields generic results for the complexity of bisimulation-invariant non-regular properties, as these can typically be defined in HFL.
Speech enhancement based on perceptually motivated guided spectrogram filtering
Authors: Wang Jie , Yan Linhuang , Yang Qiaohe , Yuan Minmin
Published: January 2021

In this paper, a single-channel speech enhancement algorithm is proposed by using guided spectrogram filtering based on masking properties of human auditory system when considering a speech spectrogram as an image. Guided filtering is capable of sharpening details and estimating unwanted textures or background noise from the noisy speech spectrogram. If we consider the noisy spectrogram as a degraded image, we can estimate the spectrogram of the clean speech signal using guided filtering after subtracting noise components. Combined with masking properties of human auditory system, the proposed algorithm adaptively adjusts and reduces the residual noise of the enhanced speech spectrogram according to the corresponding masking threshold. Because the filtering output is a local linear transform of the guidance spectrogram, the local mask window slides can be efficiently implemented via box filter with O(N) computational complexity. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively suppress noise in different noisy environments and thus can greatly improve speech quality and speech intelligibility.

Published: January 2021

The prognostic value of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein in Guillain Barré Syndrome (GBS) is unclear. We aimed to explore the potential association between CSF protein level and mechanical ventilation in GBS. We undertook a retrospective study of GBS patients from January 2000 to November 2019 at the University of Michigan. 94 patients were ultimately included for evaluation. After adjusting for the Erasmus GBS Respiratory Insufficiency Scale (EGRIS), we did not find a significant difference in CSF protein between ventilated and non-ventilated patients. Elevated CSF protein level does not appear to portend an increased likelihood of mechanical ventilation in GBS patients.
A real-world prospective cohort study to examine the relationship between simple physical functioning tests and complications following abdominal surgery
Authors: Flahive Mary , Broderick Julie
Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND: The relationship between physical function and the development of complications in people after abdominal surgery is not well known. The objective of this study was to prospectively examine the relationship between simple physical functioning tests and complications following abdominal surgery. METHODS: Participants were recruited from an elective surgery waiting list. The following variables were measured pre-surgery; functional capacity (Six Minute Walk Test, 30 Second Sit to Stand Test), grip strength (hand dynamometer), self-report physical activity [International Physical Activity Questionnaire, (IPAQ)]. At 30 and 60 days post-operatively IPAQ and self-reported recovery were collected by telephone. Data related to complications and length of stay was extracted from the medical chart. RESULTS: Forty-nine participants (25M/18F) were recruited with a mean (SD) age of 59.5 (14.7) years. The complication rate was 41.9% (n = 18). Factors which differed between the complications and no complications groups were; longer operating time (p = 0.05),>2 co-morbidities (p = 0.033), body mass index >30 (p = 0.005), lower activity levels (p = 0.02), VO2 Peak (p = 0.017) and 6-minute walk distance (p = 0.019). There was an increased length of stay (p < 0.001) and sedentary time (p = 0.007) in the complications group. Activity levels reduced in the whole group (p < 0.001) even though self-report physical activity and recovery were high. CONCLUSION: A number of potentially modifiable physical functioning factors differed in the complication versus no complication groups. Future studies should evaluate whether optimizing physical functioning pre-operatively could alter complication rates and recovery in patients undergoing abdominal surgery.
A rare solitary breast cancer metastasis to the soft tissue of the ipsilateral arm detected by a physiotherapist: A case report
Authors: Omranipour Ramesh , Alipour Sadaf , Eslami Bita
Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND: Late occurrence of solitary soft tissue upper extremity metastasis of breast cancer is very rare. We hereby present a case of metastasis to the biceps muscle of the ipsilateral arm, detected by a physiotherapist six years after mastectomy. The aim of this report is to highlight the rarity of this presentation, to emphasize the role of the physiotherapist as a member of the multidisciplinary treatment team and the possibility of curative treatment despite the poor prognosis. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 2 * 3 cm well-defined isolated metastasis of breast cancer was diagnosed in the left arm of a 31-year-old woman 6 years after successful treatment of her primary tumor. Tumor characteristics, diagnostic plan, and treatment options are discussed. CONCLUSION: Due to its scarcity, there is a lack of knowledge about the frequency, interval, characteristics, best diagnostic modality, adequate treatment, and prognosis of isolated breast cancer metastasis to the soft tissue, and these can be found out by proper reporting. As an important member of the multidisciplinary team in the care and treatment of breast cancer patients, physiotherapists should be aware of this type of rare presentation.
Do early patient reported outcome measures post total knee arthroplasty predict poor outcomes (the early PROMPT study)?
Authors: Stephens Gareth , Nightingale Peter , Mylogiannakis Panos , Suokas Anu
Published: January 2021

INTRODUCTION: Approximately 20% of patients are not satisfied following Total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The ability to identify patients at risk of poor outcomes in the early-postoperative period following TKA could inform the development of targeted treatments with the ability to improve outcomes for these patients. This prospective cohort study aimed to identify early post-operative, prognostic factors for patients experiencing dissatisfaction and poor outcomes at 12-months post TKA. METHODS: Patients (n = 185) were recruited from TKA waiting lists at a single site, completed measures of pain intensity, neuropathic pain, anxiety, depression, generic and disease specific health related quality of life (HRQoL), satisfaction and expectations, at discharge from hospital; three weeks post-surgery and again at 1 year. ROC curve analysis identified which variables best predicted patients experiencing dissatisfaction (VAS < 5/10) and poor outcomes (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC)<40) at 12-months. RESULTS: The strongest prognostic factors for dissatisfaction were low HRQoL (EQ5D3L) at both day of discharge (AUC = 0.812) and three weeks post-surgery (AUC = 0.810), and high pain levels (WOMAC pain sub-scale) at 3-weeks post-TKA (AUC = 0.796). The strongest prognostic factors for poor outcomes were poor function (WOMAC function sub-scale) at three weeks post TKA (AUC = 0.815); low HRQoL (EQ5D3L) at three weeks post-TKA (AUC = 0.783) and high levels of pain (WOMAC pain sub-scale) at 3 weeks post-TKA (AUC = 0782). Anxiety and depression at 3-weeks were also prognostic factors for dissatisfaction (AUC = 0.629 & AUC = 0.686) and poor outcomes (AUC = 0.632 & 0.713) at 12-months. CONCLUSION: This single site cohort study suggests that patients with low HRQoL, high pain levels, poor function, anxiety, and depression in the first three weeks following TKA are at risk of dissatisfaction and poor outcomes at one-year post-surgery.

Authors: Jagrwal Sameer , Sharma Pooja , Shrimali Kapil , Bhattacharjee Prasun , Singhal Manish
Published: January 2021

Introduction: Celiac disease (CD) may be an underlying cause of malnutrition. 

Aim: The objective of this study was to find out the seroprevalence of CD in children suffering from severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in age group of 1–5 years.

Materials and Methods: This was a prospective, observational, hospital-based study carried out at Malnutrition Treatment Centre attached with the ananta institute of medical science & research center Rajsamand, Rajasthan, from February 2019 to January 2020. A total of 220 children with SAM were enrolled and screened for CD on the basis of celiac serology (tissue transglutaminase [tTg]-immunoglobulin A/G [IgA/IgG]).

Results: Celiac serology was positivity in 60 (27.28%) cases; out of total 60 seropositive cases, 28 (46.66%) cases were seropositive for both tTg-IgA and IgG, while only tTg-IgA and only tTg-IgG were positive in 18 (30%) and 14 (23.33%) cases, respectively. Mean serotiter of serum tTg-IgA and IgG in seropositive cases was 134.01±198.74 and 49.05±25.74 unit/ml.

Conclusions: High seroprevalence of CD in SAM should be taken as alert as CD may be an underlying cause and responsible for malnutrition. These children should be screened by celiac serology (tTg-IgA/IgG) to rule out CD.

Droit à la santé : La jégalisation de l’octroi de médicaments coûteux
Authors: Macêdo Karen Vanderlei
Published: January 2021

L’objet d’analyse de cet article est l’entrelacement entre le droit à la santé au Brésil et l’activation du Tribunal fédéral suprême (STF) comme gage d’efficacité pratique, la judiciarisation de la politique, en particulier la concession de médicaments onéreux. Au regard du droit à la santé au Brésil, deux Principes se heurtent, la réserve du possible et le minimum existentiel, ce qui nécessite, selon Barroso (2009), une considération par l’interprète de la loi sur le caractère raisonnable des cas spécifiques. Afin de vérifier, en matière de droit à la santé, nous avons analysé certains arrêts du STF en la matière, qui figurent sur son site Internet. On constate qu’il y a prépondérance de la réserve du possible dans les décisions du STF au détriment du minimum existentiel.

Published: January 2021

Объектом анализа данной статьи является переплетение права на здоровье в Бразилии и активации Верховного федерального суда (STF) как гарантии практической эффективности, судебного закрепления политики, в частности, уступки дорогостоящих лекарств. В отношении права на здоровье в Бразилии противоречат два принципа: резерв возможного и экзистенциальный минимум, что, по мнению Barroso (2009), требует рассмотрения толкователем закона разумности конкретных случаев. Чтобы проверить, с точки зрения права на здоровье, мы проанализировали некоторые постановления STF по этому вопросу, которые опубликованы на его веб-сайте. Заметим, что в решениях STF преобладает резерв возможного в ущерб экзистенциальному минимуму.

L'occultamento del principe. Lorenzo il Magnifico e il Barlaam e Josafat di Bernardo Pulci
Authors: Cicali Gianni
Published: January 2021

Il Barlaam e Josafat di Bernardo Pulci rappresenta sia un interessante testo drammaturgico, sia un altrettanto originale e interessante sottotesto encomiastico di Lorenzo il Magnifico. Rappresentata nel 1474, come evidenziato da alcuni documenti d'archi-vio, la trama di questa sacra rappresentazione altro non è che la storia di Siddharta poi detto il Buddha tradotta in greco, e poi cristianizzata e circolata in Europa attraverso numerosi manoscritti. Trasformati i personaggi principali nei santi Barlaam e Josafat, un eremita e un giovane principe (alias il Siddharta della fonte), la leggenda venne inclusa nella sua Legenda Aurea da Varagine. Pulci, anche seguendo un gusto per l'orientalismo successivo al concilio delle chiese d'Oriente e d'Occidente tenutosi a Firenze nel 1439, riesce a intessere all'interno di una sacra rappresentazione, andata in scena in S. Marco, e dunque nella sfera d'influenza culturale e politica dei Medici, una raffinatissima trama encomiastica, ma anche un ancor più abile sottotesto politico tutto in favore delle manovre condotte dal Magnifico in quegli anni.
City of Lights: Natural and Transcendent Light Sources for Ambrogio Lorenzetti's Good City-Republic
Authors: Klassen Norman
Published: January 2021

The question of the light source for Ambrogio Lorenzetti's fresco on the east wall of the Sala dei Nove, known as The Good City-Republic, has long attracted comment. In this article I argue for two light sources rather than one on the basis of internal evidence, historical contextualizing factors, and the way this theory converges with various critical observations. The two sources represent natural and transcendent light and reflect both Siena's commitment to the Virgin Mary as its patron and the humanistic ideals of republican government.
Paola Masino's Short Fiction: Another Voice in the Collective Experience of Italian Neorealism
Authors: Rozier Louise
Published: January 2021

Known for her fantastical and allegorical style and for her affiliation with "magic realism," Paola Masino's reputation rests chiefly on her novels, particularly Nascita e morte della massaia, and on works that are seemingly confined to female subjectivity and the private sphere. This article examines Masino's short fiction to reveal a more public, engagé, side of the author. After a close reading of "Fame," "Famiglia," "Lino," "Terzo anniversario" and "Paura," it focuses on the two racconti brevi "Una parola che vola" and "Il nobile gallo" in order to highlight the neo-realist aspect of the pieces and to argue that Masino drew on allegories, fables, and parables to engage with history. It also maintains that Masino used her pen as a political tool to denounce the horror and suffering of war, to foster a commitment to the Resistance, and to call for the cultural and political reconstruction of Italy.
La memoria, la traccia e la funzione del narratore in "Ritorno sul Don" di Mario Rigoni Stern
Authors: Cinelli Gianluca
Published: January 2021

L'esperienza della guerra combattuta in Russia nel 1942-1943 è centrale nell'opera di Mario Rigoni Stern. In questo articolo l'attenzione si concentra sul racconto "Ritorno sul Don" (1973) in cui lo scrittore, narrando il viaggio compiuto all'inizio degli anni Settanta sui luoghi dove aveva combattuto, scopre l'importanza delle tracce in cui il passato si incide nel paesaggio e nella memoria. In riferimento a un'osservazione di Paul Ricoeur, e soprattutto alla filosofia nietzschiana dell'eterno ritorno, sarà interpretato il modo in cui la traccia fonda qui la testimonianza di un passato che il narratore vivifica come verità celata sotto l'apparenza del presente, mostrando la morte come il confine metaforico oltre il quale l'esperienza diventa racconto, memoria e testimonianza.
"Not as Enemies, but as Friends": Sanctioned Sex in Frate Cherubino's Regola della vita matrimoniale
Authors: Gill Amyrose McCue
Published: January 2021

During the 1470s, a Franciscan preacher named Cherubino composed a short treatise in nine parts entitled Regola della vita matrimoniale (Rule for Married Life), which describes in detail the mutual obligations of an ideal married couple. In this didactic work, Cherubino echoes the vocabulary of early Quattrocento writers who employed the concepts of friendship and companionship as framing devices for their discussions of the conjugal state. What is noteworthy in Cherubino's approach to this common theme, however, is his conflation of friends and spouses in the midst of an explication of the conjugal debt (sexual intercourse between husband and wife). Informed by recent work on marriage, sex and friendship as well as research into homosocial, homoerotic and homosexual relationships during the Italian Renaissance, this article explores the slippage between sinless marriage, friendship and procreation; and sinful marriage, enmity and sodomy in Cherubino's Regola and within the broad context of early fifteenth-century perspectives on the conjugal state.
Appunti sulla genesi redazionale dei Dialoghi d'amore di Leone Ebreo alla luce della critica testuale attuale e la tradizione manoscritta del suo terzo dialogo
Authors: Novoa James W. Nelson
Published: January 2021

L'articolo propone un riassunto della critica testuale pubblicata fino ad oggi ed uno studio basilare dei testimoni superstiti dei Dialoghi d'amore di Leone Ebreo che si limitano soltanto al terzo dialogo per offrire delle conclusioni generali riguardo la genesi redazionale del testo e delle conclusioni sulla circolazione del testo prima della stampa dell'editio princeps a Roma nel 1535. Lo studio delle diverse redazioni appunta ad una progressiva toscanizzazione del testo e ad un allontanamento dai modelli fortemente latineggianti per la prosa filosofica della fine del Quattrocento ed inizio del Cinquecento. Questo rimaneggiamento del testo avrebbe avuto il suo momento culminante nell'intervento del curatore del testo, il senese Mariano Lenzi a Roma.
“Più eretico d’ogni altro frate tragediante in quel secolo”. Francesco Ringhieri, monaco e drammaturgo, tra testi, polemiche, attori e documenti
Authors: Cicali Gianni
Published: January 2021

Il saggio, attraverso testi e documenti, mette in luce alcune caratteristiche della drammaturgia di Francesco Ringhieri (Imola 1721-1787), segnatamente quelle più legate alla messinscena, alla spettacolarità, alla recitazione, al rapporto con l’opera in musica, ma anche alla fortuna teatrale di tale repertorio. Monaco olivetano, lettore di teologia e soprattutto tragediografo di grande successo ‘popolare,’ Ringhieri fu ciò nonostante tra i drammaturghi più duramente criticati del ’700. Questo breve studio presenta documenti d’archivio (integrati anche con testimonianze coeve) relativi agli allestimenti fiorentini del Baldassarre e dell’Adelasia in Italia. I documenti evidenziano la spettacolarità degli allestimenti, ma anche la popolarità di tale repertorio tra le compagnie teatrali del tempo. Non sarà ignorato il Ragionamento apolegetico di Ringhieri che fornisce una interessante, e per certi versi unica, difesa del teatro e dei suoi interpreti, sia laici, sia religiosi. In appendice, il corpus operis teatrale di Ringhieri (che consente di valutarne in parte la fortuna editoriale), e le pagine Al lettore dalla Bologna liberata del 1779, risposta polemica al poligrafo napoletano Pietro Napoli-Signorelli.
Reading Marsilio Ficino in Quattrocento Italy. The Case of Aragonese Naples
Authors: Soranzo Matteo
Published: January 2021

This essay focuses on the reception of Marsilio Ficino’s works and ideas in Naples at the time of the Aragonese domination, and it offers a preliminary discussion of this neglected area of Renaissance Neoplatonism. Based on a contextualization of Ficino’s letters to Giovanni d’Aragona, four manuscripts produced at the Aragonese library and other pieces of evidence such as Pierantonio Caracciolo’s Farsa de l’Imagico and Giovanni Pontano’s dialogue Actius, it argues that the works and ideas of Marsilio Ficino did circulate at king Ferrante’s court, but were criticized by Giovanni Pontano and his elite of followers. In particular, the essay provides new evidence about the existence of a Ficinian workshop based at the King’s library, and about some of its protagonists such as the scribe and scholar Ippolito Lunense.
“Et questa è la storia et la festa.” Il festival orvietano del 1508 e la microsocietà del capitolo della cattedrale
Authors: Nerbano Mara
Published: January 2021

Nel periodo compreso tra il 7 maggio e il 20 agosto 1508, a Orvieto, furono messe in scena cinque suggestive sacre rappresentazioni. A darne notizia è il canonico del duomo ser Tommaso di Silvestro, autore di una cronaca degli anni 1482-1514. Il contesto in cui fiorirono tali eventi è quello delle confraternite laiche di disciplinati. Tuttavia, grande rilievo è conferito alla presenza di recitanti di condizione ecclesiastica, appartenenti allo stesso milieu del cronista, spesso reclutati come organisti e organari al servizio della cattedrale e attivi in un’ampia varietà di contesti: dalla performance carnevalesca, all’entrata pontificia, agli spettacoli confraternali. L’ambiente vivace e spesso turbolento del Capitolo della Cattedrale fu, dunque, la fucina in cui maturarono esperienze recitative semi-professionistiche che continuarono, e in parte rinnovarono, la grande tradizione cittadina di teatro religioso.
CHIN Radio and its Listeners: A Negotiation in the Post-War Commerce of Ethnicity
Authors: Amatiello Michele
Published: January 2021

Canadian broadcasting underwent a period of transition following the Second World War. Government officials attempted to restructure radio to serve as an instrument for assimilation which would assist new Canadians in understanding Canadian culture and customs. In 1966, CHIN Radio AM 1540 was formed in Toronto by Johnny Lombardi. It became Ontario’s first foreign-language radio station. This study asserts that CHIN Radio provided its listeners an opportunity to negotiate their ethnicity on a daily basis, while it simultaneously worked to assist new Canadians to learn about Canadian culture and customs. These listeners must be viewed as active protagonists, who actively took advantage of the services and entertainment CHIN provided.
Per una traduzione multidimensionale della poesia: “Notte, strada, lampione, farmacia” di Aleksandr Blok tra esistenzialismo e simbolismo
Authors: Testa Carlo
Published: January 2021

Questo articolo propone al pubblico di lingua italiana una nuova traduzione in verso e rima, commentata e ragionata, della classica poesia blokiana “Notte, strada, lampione, farmacia,” anche nota come Danza macabra II (1912), tratta dalla raccolta Un mondo terribile (Strashnyi mir). La mia proposta viene presentata analiticamente attraverso un confronto puntuale con quattro preesistenti traduzioni in italiano: in primo luogo quella di Renato Poggioli, ne Il fiore del verso russo (1949), e successivamente quelle di Angelo Maria Ripellino (1975), Bruno Carnevali (1977) e Sergio Pescatori (1981). La caratteristica precipua di questa mia proposta è la presentazione di una traduzione poetica, ovvero una traduzione “multidimensionale” che nella lingua destinataria conservi, oltre ovviamente ad un massimo possibile della dimensione semantica (il “senso” strettamente letterale), anche tratti di verso e rima quanto più possibile simili a quelli che il testo di partenza possiede nella propria veste originale.
The Child as “custode della memoria futura”: The Man Who Will Come and the Massacre of Marzabotto
Authors: Marcus Millicent
Published: January 2021

By choosing Martina, an 8 year old peasant child, to be the focalizer of the Marzabotto massacre, Diritti makes possible a new historiography, shorn of the ideological appropriations to which this atrocity had lent itself over the years. In her determination to save her newborn brother, and her breaking of the fierce silence that she had maintained throughout the duration of the film, Martina signals her will to bear witness to the horror, and to endow her sibling, symbolically the New Man of postwar rebirth, with the power to redeem the course of events by guaranteeing, in Diritti’s words, “che in futuro una cosa del genere non avvenga più.”
Northrop Frye and Niccolò Machiavelli
Authors: Denham Robert D.
Published: January 2021

This essay seeks to answer the questions, how can we explain the numerous references in Frye’s notebooks and elsewhere to the political theory in Machiavelli’s The Prince? What in Machiavelli’s thought did Frye believe deserved our attention, and why? Toward this end the essay examines the Renaissance idea of the Machiavellian villain, the concept of virtù, and the idea of hypocrisy.
