Authors: De Marchi Neto Noé , Nesello Pietro Felice Tomazini , Bergamasco Jordanna Maria , Costa Marco Tulio , Christian Ralph Walter , Severino Nilson Roberto 
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND
Ankle fractures are common lesions of the lower limbs. Approximately 40% of ankle fractures affect the posterior malleolus (PM). Historically, PM osteosynthesis was recommended when PM size in X-ray images was greater than 25% of the joint. Currently, computed tomography (CT) has been gaining traction in the preoperative evaluation of ankle fractures.
AIM
To elucidate the similarity in dimensions and to correlate PM size in X-ray images with the articular surface of the affected tibial plafond in the axial view on CT (AXCT) of a PM fracture.
METHODS
Eighty-one patients (mean age: 39.4 ± 13.5 years) were evaluated (54.3% were male). Two independent examiners measured PM size in profile X-ray images (PMXR) and sagittal CT (SAGCT) slices. The correlation of the measurements between the examiners and the difference in the PM fragment sizes between the two images were compared. Next, the PM size in PMXR was compared with the surface of the tibial plafond involved in the fracture in AXCT according to the Haraguchi classification.
RESULTS
The correlation rates between the examiners were 0.93 and 0.94 for PMXR and SAGCT, respectively (P < 0.001). Fragments were 2.12% larger in SAGCT than in PMXR (P = 0.018). In PMXR, there were 56 cases < 25% and 25 cases ≥ 25%. When PMXR was < 25%, AXCT corresponded to 10.13% of the tibial plafond. When PMXR was ≥ 25%, AXCT was 24.52% (P < 0.001). According to the Haraguchi classification, fracture types I and II had similar PMXR measurements that were greater than those of type III. When analyzing AXCT, a significant difference was found between the three types, with II > I > III (P < 0.001).
CONCLUSION
PM fractures show different sizes using X-ray or CT images. CT showed a larger PM in the sagittal plane and allowed the visualization of the real dimensions of the tibial plafond surface.
Dancing with Philoctetes
Authors: Akavia Abigail 
Published: December 2023

Abandoned by his community, doomed to a solitary existence with his voice as sole companion: can Sophocles’ Philoctetes still speak to us? What do his screams have to say?
Dancing with Philoctetes: Reflections on Pain and Remembrance juxtaposes a new adaptation of Sophocles’ play with an essay describing the process of bringing it to life in a world on the brink of a pandemic. Akavia investigates Sophocles’ nuanced portrayal of the fragility of empathy in the face of suffering, and also shares the challenges of embodying and vocalizing Sophocles’ text onstage. She proposes that the pandemic and its aftermath offer a renewed perspective on Philoctetes’ thematization, not just of empathy and disease, but of the longing to return: to home, to health, to what memory holds.
Akavia’s treatment of Philoctetes starts out from his body and voice and journeys on to loneliness, toxic masculinity, nostalgia, cancer, dreaming, parenthood, language, ballet lessons, siblings, music, and growing up. Here, scholarship and creative non-fiction combine to tell a story of reading, performing, thinking about, and living (through) tragedy.
Millî Mücadele Döneminde Lüleburgaz Kaymakamı Ahmed Esad Sezai Bey
Authors: Pakyürek Bahadır 
Published: December 2023

The year 1919 was a year when the Greek atrocities in Luleburgaz reached their peak. Public order in the region was completely disrupted and the local residents of Luleburgaz, especially Muslims and Jews, were the target of Greek outrages. On the other hand, the people of Luleburgaz had to to struggle with a local authority who showed "helplessness" against the occupation practices of the Greeks in the mentioned period. This administrative head was Ahmed Esad Sezai (Sünbüllük) Bey, who served as district governor in Luleburgaz between February 15 and July 8, 1919. During his tenure, public order incidents increased significantly. His lack of reaction against the Greek actions and that he took refuge in the Greek headquarters and asked for protection from the commander in the face of the people's outcry against the atrocities caused him to be accused of being "incapable" and "collaborator" by the people of Luleburgaz. Finally, thanks to the reaction of the people of Luleburgaz, a reshuffle was made between Ahmed Esad Sezai Bey and Demirköy District Governor Salih Bey. Ahmed Esad Sezai Bey was appointed as the District Governor of Ezine after his appointment as the District Governor of Demirköy, where he continued his close relations with the Greeks as he had done in Luleburgaz.
The potential global effects and transmission channels of a slowdown in Chinese growth
Authors: Alonso Irma , Santabárbara Daniel , Suárez-Varela Marta 
Published: December 2023

Rationale
Having picked up following the end of the zero-COVID policy, Chinese economic activity is now
slowing. This comes against a backdrop of, inter alia, increased uncertainty related to difficulties in the
domestic real estate sector. This article examines and quantifies the different channels through which
a potential slowdown in the Chinese economy could affect activity and inflation levels in the world’s
major economies.
Takeaways
•A growth slowdown in China, partly linked to problems in its real estate sector, could pose a downside risk to activity levels in the world’s major economies.
•This impact would be felt, with varying intensity, through various channels: trade, commodities and international financial markets.
•In the euro area, a temporary slowdown in Chinese economic activity of 1 percentage point (pp) would reduce GDP growth by 0.1 pp in the first year, while lowering inflation by 0.4 pp.

Murciélagos: elementos clave en los ecosistemas naturales y paisajes ganaderos
Authors: García Méndez Antonio , Zuloaga Aguilar Martha Susana , Íñiguez Dávalos Luis Ignacio 
Published: December 2023

Introducción. Los murciélagos (Orden: Chiroptera), por su diversidad y hábitos alimenticios, son importantes para evaluar los cambios en la diversidad y composición de especies en paisajes ganaderos; dependen en gran medida de la presencia de elementos arbóreos para su actividad de forrajeo, como parches de vegetación, bordes de bosques, árboles aislados (Medellín et al., 2000; Galindo-González y Sosa, 2003; Manning et al., 2006). Objetivo. Determinar la importancia de los murciélagos y árboles dispersos en la conservación de la diversidad biológica en dos paisajes ganaderos, en Jalisco y Oaxaca, México. Métodos. Mediante muestreos sistemáticos, mensualmente se capturaron murciélagos con redes de niebla, en dos paisajes ganaderos. Resultados y discusión. En Jalisco, se obtuvo una densidad y diversidad baja de árboles dispersos, en donde se capturaron 455 individuos pertenecientes a 18 especies de murciélagos. Demodus rotundus, fue la especie dominante. Mientras que, en Oaxaca, los pastizales, presentaron alta diversidad y densidad de árboles dispersos, en donde se capturaron 713 individuos de 13 especies de murciélagos. Sturnira hondurensis fue la especie más abundante. Se reporta en pastizales ganaderos una baja diversidad de murciélagos y alta abundancia del vampiro común (D. rotundus), lo cual es indicador del disturbio generado por la ganadería extensiva (Galindo-González y Sosa, 2003; García- Morales et al., 2013), como en el caso de Jalisco, en donde dicha ganadería está disminuyendo la diversidad biológica. De esta manera, se propone que se mantengan e incluso se incremente la presencia de elementos arbóreos dentro de los paisajes ganaderos, tanto como árboles dispersos, como corredores riparios y fragmentos de bosque alrededor de los pastizales. Conclusión. Se determinó la importancia de los murciélagos y de elementos arbóreos en paisajes ganaderos para la conservación de la diversidad biológica y como estrategia para el control poblacional del vampiro común.
A Low Budget Perineal Repair Model
Authors: Schmitt Eric , Roble Jose , Humes Jamie 
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND We designed a low-cost model to prepare junior surgeons for the limited accessibility and visibility of perineal lacerations. This model has advantages over the classical beef tongue model including lower cost, being easier to build, and lasting longer. METHODS To build the model, follow the instructions as described in appendix A. Users were surveyed to compare the model against established simulated formats. RESULTS Each of our models can made in about 5 minutes and costs $2.09 in materials per model. Our model was directly compared to the classical beef tongue model used by many programs to simulate perineal repairs. At our program, it took residents on average 15 minutes to create their beef tongue model and cost $16.50 per model which had to be used immediately and discarded afterwards due to the meat spoiling. Overall, our model was seen as a useful training tool to be used in addition to our current curriculum. It does not require significant preparation to build or use unlike the beef tongue model, and it is sufficiently cheap for medical students and residents to take home. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION Many medical models are prohibitively expensive for the individual to purchase or are reserved for rare training sessions in a simulation center due to their scarcity. This is an efficient and practical model which accurately demonstrates the limited space and visibility of perineal repairs while also allowing residents to conveniently practice 3rd and 4th degree repairs, which are so infrequent in modern obstetrical practice.
PROMOZIONE DEL TERRITORIO E ASPETTI IDENTITARI NELLA DIDATTICA DELL’ITALIANO LINGUA EREDITARIA
Authors: Rosi Fabiana 
Published: December 2023

Lo studio indaga l’Italiano Lingua Ereditaria (ILE) focalizzandosi su un aspetto che è stato finora poco approfondito dalle sempre più numerose ricerche sul tema: le strategie didattiche più adatte ai parlanti ereditari, per i quali l’italiano fa parte del patrimonio linguistico personale e familiare e ha uno status peculiare rispetto alle altre lingue. Il contributo illustra le potenzialità edulinguistiche dei messaggi pubblicitari che promuovono il territorio italiano nell’insegnamento dell’ILE e sottolinea come questi testi possano coinvolgere in maniera profonda gli studenti che hanno origini italiane e sono legati a specifiche aree dell’Italia per rapporti familiari, conoscenze culturali, esperienze personali e aspetti identitari. In tale prospettiva, si discutono i vantaggi edulinguistici dei messaggi pubblicitari, con particolare riferimento alla promozione turistica, commerciale, relativa alle produzioni locali, e istituzionale del territorio. Si esemplificano, inoltre, pubblicità di diverse aree italiane, come input motivante ed efficace per lo sviluppo tanto di conoscenze culturali e sensibilità interculturale quanto di competenze sociopragmatiche, lessicali e grammaticali.

Promotion of the territory and identity aspects in the teaching of Italian as a hereditary language

The study investigates Italian Heritage Language (IHL) by focusing on an aspect that has so far been little addressed by the increasing research on the topic: which are the most suitable language teaching strategies for heritage speakers, for which Italian is part of personal and familiar linguistic inheritance and displays a peculiar status with respect to the other languages. The paper points out the edulinguistic potential of commercials promoting the Italian territory in the teaching of ILE, emphasizing how these texts can deeply engage learners who have Italian origins and are linked to specific areas of Italy by family relationships, cultural knowledge, personal experiences, and identity features. In this perspective, the edulinguistic advantages of advertisements are discussed, with specific reference to the touristic, commercial, related to local products, and institutional promotion of the territory. Furthermore, ads of different Italian areas are exemplified as engaging and effective input for the development of cultural knowledge and intercultural sensitivity, as well as sociopragmatic, lexical and grammatical competence.
APPRENDERE E PRATICARE LA SCRITTURA: LE ATTIVITÀ DEI MANUALI DI ITALIANO L2 PER LO SVILUPPO DELLE COMPETENZE DI PRODUZIONE SCRITTA
Authors: Gallina Francesca , Orlando Salvatore 
Published: December 2023

Il contributo introduce i primi risultati di una ricerca sullo sviluppo e la pratica dell’abilità di scrittura nell’ambito dei manuali di italiano L2 che hanno per destinatario un pubblico di adulti e giovani adulti. L’obiettivo è quello di evidenziare come e in quale misura i manuali rispondano ai bisogni linguistico-comunicativi degli apprendenti e li aiutino a imparare a produrre testi scritti in L2, abilità che spesso viene posta in secondo piano in seno ai più moderni approcci e metodi glottodidattici, maggiormente focalizzati sull’oralità e sulla comprensione scritta. Dopo la ricostruzione del quadro teorico delle diverse interpretazioni della scrittura in L2 e delle conseguenti ricadute didattiche, viene presentata la scheda SAMIL2-Scrittura, uno strumento di indagine validato da un gruppo di docenti esperti di italiano L2, finalizzato all’analisi dei manuali, in particolare dei modelli testuali, delle riflessioni metalinguistiche, delle attività proposti per la scrittura. Il campione di manuali analizzato, dal livello A1 al C2, ha consentito di mettere in evidenza alcuni elementi chiave come i generi testuali più ricorrenti, i tipi di compiti di scrittura richiesti all’apprendente, la collocazione delle attività di scrittura nell’unità didattica e lo spazio a loro riservato, la congruenza dei task rispetto al livello di competenza del QCER e ai sillabi di italiano L2.

Learning and performing writing: the tasks of textbooks of Italian as L2 to develop the writing skill

The paper presents the first results of a research on the development and practice of writing skills in the Italian as L2 textbooks addressed to adults. The goal is to highlight how and to what extent textbooks are able to respond to the linguistic and communicative needs of learners and if they help them to learn to write a text in a second language, skill that is often overlooked in modern approaches and methods, focused mainly on oral skills and reading comprehension. After an introduction to the theoretical framework of different interpretations of writing in L2 and of the teaching consequences, SAMIL2-Scrittura will be introduced, a research tool validated by a group of skilled teachers of Italian L2, created to analyze textbooks, in particular text models, explanations, and tasks to develop and practice writing. The sample of textbooks analyzed, from A1 to C2 level, will let us point out a few key elements, such as the main textual genres, the kinds of writing tasks, the position of the writing tasks in the unit and their role, the consistency of the tasks with the levels of the CEFR and the syllabuses of Italian L2.
TRA CONFERME E SORPRESE: I BISOGNI FORMATIVI DEI DOCENTI DEI CPIA
Authors: Malagnini Francesca , Deiana Igor 
Published: December 2023

Nell’ambito di una più ampia indagine sui fabbisogni dei docenti che insegnano italiano quale lingua materna (L1), lingua seconda (L2) e lingua straniera (LS) nelle scuole di ogni ordine e grado, il contributo si concentra su chi insegna nei Centri provinciali per l’istruzione degli adulti (CPIA), istituzioni scolastiche pubbliche frequentate prevalentemente da stranieri. Grazie a quanto emerso da un questionario proposto in tutti i 129 CPIA italiani, il lavoro offre un ampio numero di informazioni che permette di definire e capire i bisogni e gli interessi dei docenti che insegnano in queste scuole e, conseguentemente, di ipotizzare corsi di formazione e aggiornamento per insegnanti meglio dettagliati. Dopo una prima parte introduttiva, il contributo si concentra sulle specificità dei CPIA (§2), e descrive i contenuti del questionario e ne commenta le domande (§3). Il paragrafo 4 mette a fuoco alcune caratteristiche del corpo docente: la formazione iniziale, le precedenti esperienze di insegnamento e l’esperienza maturata nella stessa tipologia di scuola, la frequenza dedicata alla formazione e all’aggiornamento. Il paragrafo 5 analizza e commenta i bisogni formativi emersi; l’ultimo paragrafo, infine, offre alcune riflessioni conclusive.

Between confirmations and surprises: the training needs of CPIA teachers

As part of a broader survey on the needs of teachers who teach Italian as a mother tongue (L1), second language (L2) and foreign language (LS) in schools of all levels, this contribution focuses on those who teach in the Provincial Centres for Adult Education (CPIA), public school institutions attended mainly by foreigners. Thanks to what emerged from a questionnaire proposed in all 129 Italian CPIAs, the work offers a large amount of information that makes it possible to define and understand the needs and interests of the teachers who teach in these schools and, consequently, to hypothesise more detailed teacher training and refresher courses. After a first introductory part, the contribution focuses on the specificities of CPIAs (§2), and describes the contents of the questionnaire and comments on its questions (§3). Paragraph 4 focuses on some characteristics of the teaching staff: initial training, previous teaching experience and experience in the same type of school, frequency of training and refresher courses. Paragraph 5 analyses and comments on the training needs that emerged; finally, the last paragraph offers some concluding reflections.
“CARO MICHELE”: RIFLESSIONI E DOMANDE IN FORMA DI LETTERA SUI DIFFICILI CONFINI TRA FRASE E TESTO
Authors: Lo Duca Maria G. 
Published: December 2023

La lettura di un saggio può a volte non lasciare traccia nel lettore, il che non è mai un bel risultato. A volte invece stimola la nostra intelligenza, forse il saggio non ci ha convinto del tutto ma non riusciamo a liberarcene, perché ha toccato dei temi che riconosciamo importanti ma complessi, non facili da dipanare. Così può succedere che i dubbi o le domande – nel nostro caso sui confini tra frase e testo – che il saggio ha suscitato prendano forma scritta e vengano addirittura inviate all’autore del saggio. E capita che l’autore risponda.

“Dear Michele”: reflections and questions in the form of a letter on the difficult boundaries between sentence and text

Reading an essay may sometimes leave no trace in the reader, which is never a good thing. Sometimes, on the other hand, it stimulates our intelligence, perhaps the essay has not completely convinced us but we cannot get rid of it, because it has touched on topics that we recognise as important but complex, not easy to unravel. So it can happen that the doubts or questions – in our case about the boundaries between sentence and text – that the essay has raised take written form and are even sent to the author of the essay. And it happens that the author replies.
TRA COLOMBO E PRANDI. UNA RASSEGNA RAGIONATA DELLE ALTRE GRAMMATICHE DI RIFERIMENTO
Authors: Branciforti Giuseppe 
Published: December 2023

Per capire quanto sia stato innovativo l’articolo di Colombo Coordinazione e coesione testuale del 1984, incentrato sulla differenza tra congiunzioni e avverbi anaforici e di conseguenza sulla differenza tra coordinazione e giustapposizione, in rapporto a quanto preesisteva sul tema in Italia e all’estero, e alla descrizione delle grammatiche che saranno pubblicate successivamente, l’articolo passa in rassegna le più importanti grammatiche di riferimento moderne dell’italiano, a partire da quelle pubblicate nel 1988, anno che segna un “nuovo inizio” nella storia della grammaticografia italiana. Il punto di arrivo della proposta di Colombo, a cui rinviano tutti gli articoli inclusi nel presente volume, è rappresentato dalla teoria del linguista Michele Prandi, secondo il quale anche la distinzione tra coordinazione e giustapposizione, oltre che quella tra congiunzioni e avverbi anaforici, è netta e rigorosa.
Lo scopo dell’articolo, dunque, non si esaurisce nella pura rassegna, ma affronta in modo ragionato le varie descrizioni grammaticali nel tentativo di ricostruire, sulla differenza in questione, il quadro delineato dalle più importanti grammatiche scientifiche moderne.

Between Colombo and Prandi. An annotated review of other reference grammars

In order to understand how innovative was Colombo’s 1984 article Coordinazione e coesione testuale (Coordination and Textual Cohesion) focusing on the difference between conjunctions and anaphoric adverbs and consequently on the difference between coordination and juxtaposition, in relation to what existed on the subject in Italy and abroad, and to the description of the grammars that would be published subsequently, the article reviews the most important modern reference Italian grammars, starting with those published in 1988, a year that marks a “new beginning” in the history of Italian grammar. The point of arrival of Colombo’s proposal, to which all the articles included in this volume refer, is represented by the theory of linguist Michele Prandi, according to whom the distinction between coordination and juxtaposition, as well as that between conjunctions and anaphoric adverbs, is clear and rigorous. The purpose of this article, therefore, does not consist in a pure review, but in dealing in a reasoned manner with the various grammatical descriptions in an attempt to reconstruct the framework outlined by the main modern scientific grammars on the difference in question.
