OBJECTIVE

Whereas insulin resistance is expressed as reduced glucose uptake in peripheral tissues, the relationship between insulin resistance and brain glucose metabolism remains controversial. Our aim was to examine the association of insulin resistance and brain glucose uptake (BGU) during a euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp in a large sample of study participants across a wide range of age and insulin sensitivity.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

[18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET) data from 194 participants scanned under clamp conditions were compiled from a single-center cohort. BGU was quantified by the fractional uptake rate. We examined the association of age, sex, M value from the clamp, steady-state insulin and free fatty acid levels, C-reactive protein levels, HbA1c, and presence of type 2 diabetes with BGU using Bayesian hierarchical modeling.

RESULTS

Insulin sensitivity, indexed by the M value, was associated negatively with BGU in all brain regions, confirming that in insulin-resistant participants BGU was enhanced during euglycemic hyperinsulinemia. In addition, the presence of type 2 diabetes was associated with additional increase in BGU. On the contrary, age was negatively related to BGU. Steady-state insulin levels, C-reactive protein and free fatty acid levels, sex, and HbA1c were not associated with BGU.

CONCLUSIONS

In this large cohort of participants of either sex across a wide range of age and insulin sensitivity, insulin sensitivity was the best predictor of BGU.

Stress is a common health problem among medical students. Higher stress among students leads to change in food preference. This study was aimed to assess the relationship between perceived stress and food pattern among final-year MBBS student of Rawalpindi Medical University. This cross descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among final-year MBBS students of Rawalpindi Medical University in January 2020.Data was collected through Perceived stress scale and self-structured questionnaire about demographic details and dietary habit details. Students with irregular dietary habits were excluded. Because of non-parametric nature of data, non-parametric statistical tests including Mann–Whitney test, Kruskal–Wallis test and Multinomial logistic regression were applied to assess the variables. Statistically significant differences of perceived stress were observed across gender (p=0.000) and boarding status (p=0.004). Significant differences of perceived stress were also found across intake three frequency levels of sweet foods(p=0.000), snack foods(p=0.001) and ready to eat foods(p=0.012) while differences were non- significant across three intake frequency levels of fast foods(p=0.067) and fruits and vegetables(p=0.175).Multinomial logistic regression proposed increase intake of sweet foods, snack foods, ready to eat foods and fast foods with the increase in perceived stress while decease intake of fruits and vegetables with the increase in perceived stress. Our study shows that perceived stress changes dietary patterns and with the increase in perceived stress consumption of unhealthy foods increases while consumption of healthy foods decreases. So, by applying suitable interventions for alleviation of stress we can improve dietary habits and consequently physical health.

Papillary microcarcinoma of the thyroid is defined as cancers having a diameter equal or inferior to 10 mm in the anatomopathological examination; The problematic of this pathology lies in its latent character, it is, thus, much more frequent than we thought or predicted. That is why, beyond specifying the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma, our ultimate goal was to determine the "gold standard" for the management of this entity.

We carried out a descriptive retrospective study spread over 4 years including all cases of Papillary Microcarcinoma of the thyroid diagnosed within the department of ENT and Head and Neck Surgery of the medical center Mohammed VI in Marrakech; We collected 35 cases, and using their medical records we summarized their epidemiological, clinical and paraclinical data.

None of our patients had a normal clinical examination, the palpation of our patients showed an isolated nodule in 20% of patients, the rest of our patients had clinically bilateral noticeable nodes. 80% of which were not clinically suspicious, and only three of our patients had palpable lymph nodes which was confirmed by the ultrasound, where the major suspicious character was their hypoechoic character ( 17 % were EU-TIRADS 5 ) With regard to surgical treatment, 28 of our patients (80%) underwent total thyroidectomy as a first step,4 patients underwent secondary totalization during the same operation after the extemporaneous examination came back positive for papillary microcarcinoma , 2 cases of remote loboisthmectomy after final histological examination showing papillary microcarcinoma , and one final case of totalization after extemporaneous examination of a superior right jugular lymph node with central necrosis. Neck dissection was performed in three cases. Postoperative outcomes were simple in all patients. Isotopic totalization by iodine 131 therapy was performed in four of our patients. Their indications were respectively: infiltrating tumor, extension to neighboring parenchyma, multifocality, lymph node metastasis. The survival rate of our series was 100%. The therapeutic protocol of papillary microcarcinoma is punctuated, to this day, with controversy, and faces a conservative attitude versus a radical one, it is the surgeon's duty to distinguish between the two attitudes.

COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the death of hundreds of thousands of people globally. Several preventive measures have been recommended to reduce the spread of the disease. However, the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of these preventive measures among pregnant women, are yet to be evaluated in South Africa. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the KAP towards COVID-19 among pregnant women. The purpose was to identify KAP gaps of pregnant women and develop educational materials and implement programmes. A questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was undertaken. Student’s t-test, ANOVA test, Pearson’s correlation test and Binary logistic regression analysis was carried out. Majority of the respondents were single (71%), unemployed (52%), and had low education (78% had either no or less than 12 years education). More than half (51.2%) had vulnerable comorbidities for COVID-19 infection and complication. Both knowledge and attitude mean of pregnant women were found to be low at 43.5% and 30% respectively. However, their practice on prevention of COVID-19 was good at 76%. Knowledge was found to be significantly positively correlated with practice towards COVID-19 (r= 0.111). Women having good knowledge were seven times more likely to practice positively regarding COVID-19 (P=0.019). Women having 1-5 years of education were 94% less likely to practice good towards COVID-19 prevention (P=0.018) compared to those having post matric education. The pregnant women in this research had inadequate knowledge and attitude of COVID-19 infection. However, preventive practices were good among them. Mass education and communication strategies are thus required to improve the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women towards COVID-19.
Atypical Chest Pain and Hypertension in a Young Woman
Authors: Ozair Faisal
Published: January 2021

Hypertension among young people is fairly common, affecting one quarter of the global population and 1 in 8 adults aged between 20 and 40 years. It is one of the main modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease and mortality.

Since many forms of secondary hypertension led to “treatment-resistant” hypertension, it is important to determine the likely causes and this evaluation partly depends on the degree of difficulty in controlling blood pressure.

It is recommended that clinicians should look for the clinical clues that suggest secondary hypertension as it is too expensive and time consuming to perform a complete evaluation for secondary hypertension in every hypertensive patient.

The most common causes of secondary hypertension among young adults are hypothyroidism (1.9%), renovascular disease (1.7%), renal insufficiency (1.5%), primary hyperaldosteronism (1.2%), Cushing syndrome (0.5%), and pheochromocytoma (<0.3%).

Movies in Education: A Non-Formal Approach for Lifelong and Lifewide Learning
Authors: Bocci Fabio
Published: January 2021

The cinematic language, in addition to acting as a persuasive mediator to be used in training contexts, can represent a meeting point between non-formal and formal education in the different lifelong-lifewide learning contexts. In this paper, the author specifies what we usually define as cinematic experience starting from the correlation between physical space (I’m going to the cinema) and visual act (I’m going to see a film).Then, he describes the components of the cinematic language (for example: long/full shot, plan américain/medium long shot, medium shot, medium close-up, close-up and extreme close-up, extreme wide, long/wide, etc.).Moreover, the author presents the psycho-pedagogical characteristics that are activated while participating in the viewing of a film. Finally, describes two examples of non-formal education through cinematic language. The first one refers to the Visualfest, a contest organized by the Department of Education of Roma Tre University, that aims to promote the dissemination of works created by scholars, teachers, students, educators and professionals who use images as a vector of knowledge. The second one is Co-Educa, an initiative of co-education, of alliance between the scholastic-editorial-cultural-scientific fields for the construction of a network of active subjects and the establishment of an authentic pedagogical agora.

Published: January 2021

"This article aims to identify the efficiency of the online academic teaching process during the Sars COV- 2 pandemic, but also identify the main factors which negatively influence the online academic teaching process. The study is based on quantitative research, the data of which were collected by applying an online questionnaire to students at the Faculty of Political, Administrative and Communication Sciences in Cluj-Napoca between 01.06.2020-01.07.2020.
The results of the study indicate that, during the pandemic, the efficiency of the online teaching process is below the level of the classic teaching process and is negatively influenced by a number of factors (lack of knowledge and technical information held by students / teachers on online teaching platforms, resistance to change of students / teachers (fear of something new (scary) - feeling rejected by the new because you think you can’t cope or may have negative effects or repercussions for you, etc.). However, in order for the online teaching process to be successful, a greater importance should be given to the transfer of responsibility process: focusing on the individual learning process or on the continuous improvement of the online academic teaching process. This transfer can lead inherently and implicitly to an increase in the degree dissatisfaction."

Published: January 2021

Quartz grains extracted from aeolian sand (LexCal2014) are tested for suitability as transfer material for radiation source calibration. After thermal pre-treatment, this quartz exhibits luminescence and dose-response properties which appear appropriate for transfer calibration purposes with little dependence of recovered β-dose on preheat temperature in the single aliquot (SAR) procedure and satisfying performance in β-dose recovery (0.98−1.00 given/measured β-dose for various experiments). Additional support is obtained by SARA and interpolation procedures, where OSL-data from γ-dosed LexCal2014 is interpolated on data obtained for zeroed LexCal2014 quartz, which is β-irradiated by the source to be calibrated. Initial results on fine-grain material agree with the coarse grain results presented.

The γ-dose of 3.00 ± 0.07 Gy is administered in a scatter-free geometry at the IAEA/WHO Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory (SSDL) of the Helmholtz Zentrum München, with absorbed dose calculations obtained by Monte Carlo simulations.

Objetivo: Descrever sobre estudantes com deficiência, as dificuldades encontradas devido à falta de acessibilidade e como a acessibilidade pode reduzir danos à saúde mental do mesmo. Revisão Bibliográfica: As escolas brasileiras vêm passando por adaptações que permitiram a inclusão do aluno com deficiência no ambiente escolar, entretanto ainda não foi possível contemplar todos os sujeitos em questão, devido a desigualdade financeira de estados e municípios. Torna-se necessário promover um debate e estimular a proposição de ideias que fortaleçam as políticas nacionais para a pessoa com deficiência e globalize o acesso a este público, no intuito não somente de aproximar a pessoa com deficiência do convívio social, mas garantir que as consequências de um distanciamento e da ausência de representatividade, não sejam potencializados e causem danos à saúde mental do discente. Considerações finais: Conclui-se, portanto, a necessidade de inserir o aluno com deficiência no ambiente escolar e promover maiores debates na intenção de atender a demanda ampla de pessoas com deficiência sem espaço na sociedade.
CHURCH DEANS’ ANNUAL REPORTS AS A SOURCE FOR REGIONAL HISTORY OF RUSSIAN IN THE 2ND HALF OF 19TH - EARLY 20TH CENTURY
Authors: Новак Вячеслав Николаевич
Published: January 2021

В статье анализируется одна из функций благочинных в синодальный период - составление отчётов о состоянии приходских храмов вверенных им территорий. Анализируются как регламенты их составления, так и сами тексты за период со второй половины XIX до начала XX в. Несмотря на то, что правила их написания были достаточно четкими, сами тексты составлялись в относительно свободной форме, зависели от стараний их авторов и принятой местной традиции, а с течением времени становились все более подробными. Они отражают как специфику церковной жизни региона (например, отношение к синодальной Церкви разных этнических групп, традиционно придерживающихся иных религий), так и быта населения в целом, указывают на общие факторы, снижающие уровень религиозности и благочестия (революционные настроения, отходничество в город на заработки). Надежду на расширение научных знаний об этом виде источников автор связывает с дальнейшим изучением фондов местных духовных консисторий, куда они поступали.

The author of this article analyzes one of the main functions of the deans (incl. rural deans) during the Synodal period - working out the reports on the condition in parish churches of the territories entrusted to these deans. The author examines both the regulations of making these reports as well as the text themselves, focusing on the period of the 19th to the beginning of the 20th centuries. Despite the clear rules for writing of these repots, the texts were composed in a free form and depended on the efforts of their authors and local tradition. Over the time they turned out to be more and more detailed. They reflect both the specifics of the church life of the region (for example, attitudes towards the Synodal Church of different ethnic groups, traditionally adhering to other religions), and the life of the population as a whole. They pointed out the main factors that reduced the level of religiosity and piety (revolutionary ideas, migrations). The author connects the hope for expanding scientific knowledge about this type of sources with further study of the funds of local spiritual consistories, where these reports have been kept.

Authors: Huma Johar  , Nadeem Iqbal  , Alishba Asif
Published: January 2021

The objective of this research paper is to check the impact of openness on inflation volatility. The time period ranges from 1986-2014 by utilizing Panel data for SAARC countries. Four proxy variables are used to calculate openness by using Generalized Method of Moment (GMM) and Impulse Response for the existence of short run and long run relationship. GMM results indicates that the relation depend on the proxy variable being used in the model. Export to GDP and KOF index shows negative impact on inflation volatility while Trade to GDP ratio has significant positive impact on inflation volatility. The empirical study suggests that exports should be encouraged as it resulted in decreasing rate of inflation as along with imports inflation is also imported in terms of commodity price.
Trade Liberalization, Economic Growth and Environmental Quality Nexus: An Empirical Evidence from Pakistan

Published: January 2021

The linkage between trade liberalization, environmental quality and economic growth is becoming an increasingly popular issue in environmental economics in recent decades. In view of Pakistan’s position as one of the main contributors to carbon dioxide emissions in Asia, it is vital to identify the main determinants of carbon dioxide emissions. The present study empirically investigates the long run association among trade liberalization, environmental quality and economic growth along with other variables energy use and capital labor ratio in Pakistan for the period 1980-2018. The results also indicate that there is inverted U shape relationship between economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions, hence the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis is valid in Pakistan during 1980-2018. Trade openness has a negative significant impact on carbon dioxide emissions. Capital labor ratio effects and energy use have a direct relationship with carbon dioxide emissions. The results show that environmental quality is first declined by economic growth but with further increase in growth, environmental quality is improved which supports the existence of Environmental Kuznet curve hypothesis in Pakistan during that time span. Furthermore, results also show that trade openness has positive significant impact on environmental quality.

Published: January 2021

En la actualidad, la infección por Helicobacter pylori se sigue considerando una de las infecciones bacterianas crónicas que se presentan con mayor frecuencia en la población mundial. Asimismo, se reconoce por la severidad de sus consecuencias y lo complejo que puede ser su manejo terapéutico. El objetivo del presente estudio consiste en plasmar los principales esquemas de tratamiento del H. pylori y su efectividad en la actualidad. Asimismo, se hace referencia a la resistencia antibiótica, situación en el Ecuador y las posibles alternativas de tratamiento para el futuro. El modelo de investigación es una revisión de tipo documental bibliográfico. Se encontró que los esquemas de tratamiento clasificados según la combinación de los fármacos pueden ser: cuádruple, híbrida, concomitante y triple. Mientras que, según el momento de su aplicación se pueden clasificar en tratamiento de primera, segunda, tercera y cuarta línea. La terapia cuádruple es considerada una de las mejores terapias iniciales, especialmente en áreas donde la tasa de resistencia a la claritromicina es >15%. Por su parte, la terapia híbrida tiene una eficacia del 90%, incluso comparándolos con terapias cuádruples con bismuto. Algunos autores coinciden en que la terapia concomitante tiene una efectividad global de 88-90%. Por último, la tasa de resistencia a la claritromicina ha ido en aumento, razón por la cual se hace cada vez más probable el fracaso de la terapia triple. En consecuencia, cada esquema debe elegirse de manera individualizada, según los requerimientos de cada paciente y teniendo en cuenta la evidencia de mayor probabilidad de erradicación de la infección por H. pylori, así como la prevalencia de resistencia antibiótica de la zona geográfica y el perfil de susceptibilidad antimicrobiano.

Published: January 2021

El trauma es la principal causa de muerte en personas menores de 45 años en y responsable de un tercio de todos los ingresos a la unidad de cuidados intensivos. El conocimiento cada vez mayor sobre los métodos de diagnóstico por ultrasonido y su disponibilidad para lesiones potencialmente mortales como el taponamiento cardíaco y la rotura de órganos sólidos de la cavidad abdominal, que conduce a un shock hemorrágico, el diagnóstico y el monitoreo, conducen al desarrollo de FAST (Evaluación enfocada con ecografía para traumatismos) protocolo, destinado a ser utilizado tanto en el ámbito de la unidad de cuidados intensivos como de emergencia. Debido a su reproducibilidad, falta de exposición a la radiación y viabilidad al lado de la cama, esta tecnología se acepta cada vez más. Una nueva extensión del protocolo, el Extended-FAST (eFAST), proporciona información valiosa para mejorar el manejo de los pacientes, extendiendo su disponibilidad desde las afecciones abdominales a otros diagnósticos como hemotórax, derrame pleural y neumotórax. Se debe subrayar que esta técnica es capaz de reemplazar la tomografía computarizada y el diagnóstico de lavado peritoneal, y no retrasar el procedimiento quirúrgico en lugar de realizar este examen. Por lo tanto, su valoración cuidadosa en relación con la información clínica debe orientar los enfoques terapéuticos, especialmente en lugares inhóspitos como unidades de cuidados intensivos en zonas de guerra, lugares rurales o distantes, donde otros métodos de imagenología no están disponibles.

WOMEN AND THEIR ROLE IN NATURAL RESOURCES: A STUDY IN WESTERN HIMALAYAS
Authors: Singh Kiran
Published: January 2021

Women roles in Himalayas put women in direct contact with natural resources such as forests, water, land and wildlife. They utilize and conserve these resources to supply basic needs for their families. Therefore conservation of natural resources in rural areas cannot be done without the involvement and training of women. They need to be educated on the values, management and sustainability of natural resources as alternative sources of livelihood. But to have success, they must only be appreciated as invisible land managers, but must benefit from relevant incentives in their cultural roles. This paper examines the roles of women in natural resource conservation, since their traditional activities bring them into daily interaction with natural resources, their impacts, attitudes and belief on the management, exploitation and sustainability of natural resource is critical for resource use and sustainability.

Islamic education faces a variety of dynamics along with political dynamics. Through this research, it will be revealed how the existence of Islamic education in the framework of education regulation in Indonesia: problems, solutions and strategies in its development. This research uses descriptive method with a library research approach, which is research conducted by reading various papers related to the issues being studied. Based on the research, it is found that education regulations in post-independence Indonesia always accommodate Islamic education, because Muslims are the majority comunity in Indonesia. The government's efforts to accommodate Islamic education were carried out gradually, and it was heavily influenced by political dynamics. This can be seen in several regulations issued by the government since the early independence period, orde baru, and pasca reformasi. The latest education regulations that accommodate Islamic education are Law Number 20 of 2003 about the National Education System and Law Number 18 of 2019 about pesantren. The existence of these two laws is an opportunity and at the same time a challenge for Islamic education, not only to overcome its own problems, but also to continue to develop itself and increase its role in nation building

Published: January 2021

Character education has become a phenomenon and an interesting discussion since the last few years. To make matters worse, many educational figures have discussed and conducted research on character education, by connecting character education with the role of educators or educational institutions themselves. Likewise, seeing the role of Islamic boarding schools in character education in the era of disruption. So far the existing studies have not explicitly discussed the process of shaping the character of the nation by Islamic boarding schools. This study aims to complement the previous studies with the aim; first, to determine the role of character education in the students of the Manna Al-Quraniyah Islamic Boarding School. Second, knowing the factors inhibiting and supporting the implementation of character education in the Al-Quraniyah Manna Islamic boarding school students. This type of research is field research with a qualitative approach. The results of the research are as follows: first, the role of the Islamic boarding school in shaping the character of the students can be seen in the implementation of character education at the Al-Quraniyah Manna Islamic boarding school which is carried out through the material taught in the Islamic boarding school then through these materials the students are able to practice it correctly. The implementation of character education is also carried out through the example of kyai, dormitory caregivers, teachers who interact with them, especially those in the boarding school environment. The biggest source of character education implementation comes from the Islamic boarding school program/activity. For example, local content and extracurricular activities. Second, the inhibiting and supporting factors for the implementation of character education consist of internal factors (lack of infrastructure, lack of teaching staff) and external factors (the influence of technological developments).

Müteahhirîn dönem Mâtürîdî kelam okulunun önemli temsilcilerinden birisi olan İbnü’l-Hümâm da bu meseleyi kelâm alanında meydana getirdiği ve adını el-Müsâyere fi’l-akâidi’l-münciye fi’l-âhire koyduğu eserinde ele almıştır. Müellif bu eserinde adından da anlaşılacağı gibi Müslümanları âhirette kurtuluşa götürecek sahih inanç esaslarını ortaya koymuştur. Bu esasların başında sağlam bir Allah inancı gelmektedir. Sahih ve sağlam bir Allah inancı da O’nun isim, sıfat ve fiillerini bilmekten geçer. Özellikle mutlak ilim, irade ve kudret sahibi bir yüce varlık karşısında dünyada imtihana tabi tutulan insanın konumunu ve fiillerindeki rolünü tespit edebilmek de yüce yaratıcıyı bilmede katkı sağlayacaktır. Bu çalışmada İbnü’l-Hümâm’ın insanın eylemlerini yerine getirirken özgür olup olmadığı hakkındaki görüşleri irade, kudret, fiil, kesb, kaza ve kader gibi kavramlardan yola çıkılarak ortaya konulacaktır. Mensubu olduğu Mâtürîdî mezhebiyle benzer ve farklılıkları tespit edilecektir.

Objectives: Patients with impaired renal functions have a variable risk of morbidity and mortality in cardiovascular surgery. Poor outcome was reported among patients who underwent valve surgery. Current study is presumed to compare the early outcomes of patients having different degrees of impaired renal functions and undergoing mitral valve replacement surgery. Methods: 135 patients were admitted into the three highly specialized centers in Cairo and Ismailia–Egypt between Dec.2018 and Jan.2020 Preoperative, intraoperative and early post-operative data were recorded. Impairment may present as one of these strata: early reversible (G1-2 included strata 1 & 2 kidney disease patients), moderate G3-4 included strata 3 & 4 kidney disease patients) or advanced irreversible renal damage. (The 5th stratum or G5-KD included end stage renal disease patients undergoing 4-hour hemodialysis sessions, three times a week, with bicarbonate dialysate). We correlated outcome among each stratum with cardiac and renal functions in that stratum. Results: The more is the impairment of renal functions at any peri- operative stage, the longer is the need for prolonged mechanical ventilation and the longer is the hospital stay. We found that levels of serum creatinine were significantly increased postoperatively Also, the more is the reversibility of the renal impairment, even by renal dialysis, the much better is the outcome (P=.0019). We also found insignificant difference between different strata of irreversible renal impairment in the early outcome of the prosthetic mitral valve replacement surgery. The early reversible damage can be repaired peri-operatively. Conclusions: Prosthetic mitral valve replacement among patients with different degrees of impaired renal functions is not only feasible but also it does not seem to add any more deterioration into renal function. Prolonged mechanical ventilation and hospital stay are the only drawbacks of irreversibly impaired renal damage by dialysis or renal transplant.
César Falcón and the Theatre Company Nosotros
Authors: Domínguez Gutiérrez M. Carmen
Published: January 2021

In the theatre scene of the 1930s in Spain, in addition to the traditional commercial theatre and the republican avant-garde of Las Misiones Pedagógicas or La Barraca, an alternative proposal emerged whose objectives went beyond the pedagogical and the artistic. Proletarian, or political theatre, linked to European theatrical avant-garde with Soviet roots, was inspired by the principles of Bertolt Brecht and Erwin Piscator. They proposed, from a Marxist perspective, class struggle as means to achieve an alternative socialist model. The theatre company Nosotros, directed by Peruvian exile César Falcón, is the best example of this theatrical avant-garde.

The Case of Descripción del virreinato del Perú, en particular de Lima
Authors: Araújo Branco Isabel
Published: January 2021

Descripción del virreinato del Perú, en particular de Lima was written in Spanish during the first half of the 17th century by an unknown author. The manuscript was found in Paris and presented by Riva Agüero in 1914. Underlying the 2009 and 2013 editions is the thesis that the anonymous author would have been a Portuguese New Christian who travelled through the Spanish empire during the period of union between the Iberian thrones in parallel with the established legal separation. Just as Pratt used the Andean manuscript of Guaman Poma de Ayala in applying the concepts of “contact zone”, this article utilises her theories to try to understand why this supposed Portuguese individual used the Spanish language in his description of the territory of ancient Peru.
On the Tragic Sense in Unamuno and Pessoa
“Les fois que l’impossible au nécessaire se joint”
Authors: Pasciolla Francesca
Published: January 2021

To confront two major writers and, indeed, thinkers of the Iberian Peninsula in the early 20th century is a challenge to be embraced, albeit with some circumspection. In the process, the tense relationship between the discourses of literary creation and philosophical musing will be broached. The evidence of any mutual awareness of their respective writings in the case of Miguel de Unamuno and Fernando Pessoa is scant. Whilst there is no recognition in the former of the latter, the Portuguese author certainly knew enough of the writings of the prolific Spaniard to have published several texts wherein he rejected the thinking of his near-contemporary. Close examination, however, reveals that the relationship between the writings of the two is complex enough to bear further scrutiny.
“Chassez le national, il revient au galop…”. Eugenio d’Ors in the Decade of Pontigny of 1931
With Six Unpublished Letters from Paul Desjardins and One Back
Authors: Pla Xavier
Published: January 2021

The French period of Catalan philosopher and writer Eugenio d’Ors (1881-1954) has not been sufficiently studied. The edition of six unpublished letters between D’Ors and Paul Desjardins, the famous director and organiser of the Décades of the abbey of Pontigny, which deal with the preparation and celebration of a seminar on the Baroque in the summer of 1931, offer a first reflection on the reception of D’Ors’s thought in Paris. He was a presence oscillating between the initial dazzle and the subsequent disappointment, between blind admiration and irritated disenchantment.

Cornelis De Bie, ilGulden Cabinete la pittura di natura morta e di genere in Italia I casi di Francesco Noletti detto il Maltese, Mario dei Fiori, Grechetto, Michelangelo Cerquozzi e una riflessione su Pieter Boel e David De Coninck
Authors: Fiorentino Luca
Published: January 2021

This article spotlights the lives of Italian still life painters in one of the most important seventeenth-century Flemish source texts:Het Gulden Cabinet van de edel vry schilder-constby Cornelius De Bie (1662). This essay offers the first Italian translations of texts dedicated to these painters and examines the intrinsic motivations that led De Bie to choose them as the subject of his panegyrics. The writing underscores the connections De Bie must have had with information brought home by his father (who lived in Rome for years), with Gaspar Roomer and his collections, and with Italian art literature, to which he owed a debt as for information obtained and source documents. In addition, the article discusses the life of Pieter Boel, who spent many years in Italy, and of one of his best pupils, David De Coninck.
