description: The first author introduced a measure of compactness for families of sets, relative to a class of filters, in the context of convergence approach spaces. We characterize a variety of maps (types of quotient maps, closed maps, and variants of perfect maps) as those respecting this measure of compactness under one form or another. We establish a product theorem for measure of compactness that yields as instances new product theorems for spaces and maps, and new product characterizations of spaces and maps, thus extending existing results from the category of convergence spaces to that of convergence approach spaces. In particular, results of the Mròwka-Kuratowski type are obtained, shedding new light on existing results for approach spaces.
Investigation of stars observed in the observation area of JASMINE
Creators: name: Yano, Taihei
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: The infrared astrometric satellite JASMINE will measure the position and motion of stars in the galactic bulge with unprecedented accuracy. We plan to use a telescope with a primary mirror diameter of approximately 40 cm. The detector to be used is the InGaAs near-infrared detector, which has recently been developed mainly at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan. The number of observed objects was quantitatively estimated using existing catalogs such as Gaia, VVV, 2MASS, and Galactic Nucleus Survey for the purpose of reconfirming what kind of stars and how many stars are observed by JAMSINE. We are also quantifying how many Mira-type variable stars will be observed by magnitude and period.
 First, the conversion formula was clarified from the magnitudes such as I and J of the stars in the catalog to the magnitude Hw in the observation band in JASMINE. Then, by comparing with the data of GaiaEDR3, we investigated the current situation such as how far the stars in the observation area of JASMINE can be measured by Gaia. We also investigated the color distribution of stars observed by JASMINE from catalogs such as 2MASS, SIRIUS, and VVV. Observations by APOGEE showed the presence of NSD (Schonrich et al. 2015). We also examined whether such stars would be observed in JASMINE, and confirmed that NSD objects in the galactic center were certainly observed in JASMINE. As described above, we will examine the situation of stars observed in JASMINE from observation data such as 2MASS, SIRIUS, VVV, or Gaia and APOGEE.

description: n this thesis we develop methods that enable the study of the phenomenon of noncommutativity in financial markets. In many cases, for example the purchasing of an item from a supermarket, prices behave in an essentially commutative fashion. Whilst the price may increase or decrease over time, when one comes to execute a transaction, the price is generally known in advance, and is not impacted (within reason) by the size of the transaction or what else is going on in the supermarket. Often financial markets do not operate in this simple fashion. The execution price for a transaction cannot always be known in advance, and factors such as the size of the trade, and what other trades happen in the lead up to our transaction, impact the price we will achieve. This motivates us to study financial markets using quantum probability. We start by applying the techniques of quantum stochastic calculus, and building on the quantum Black- Scholes approach of Accardi and Boukas. We then investigate the use of the open quantum systems method. We define an interaction between the financial market and its external environment, before using the singular coupling limit to derive a Markovian approximation to the master equation for the market dynamics. We go onto consider the role of the information entropy in the modelling of the financial market, and consider the relation between the classical and quantum approaches in this regard. We also show how to incorporate financial effects such as trade size, market risk appetite and bid-offer spread, that arguably lie behind noncommutativity, into the modelling approach. In each case, we investigate the impact of introducing noncommutative like behaviour to classical models, using analytical and numerical methods.
Letteratura contemporanea e personaggio nel quadro di una nuova episteme
Creators: name: Luglio, Davide
Publisher: name: ENTHYMEMA

description: Riprendendo la nozione foucaultiana di episteme, la tesi che intendiamo difendere è che tra gli anni Ottanta e Novanta del XX secolo si è consumata una rottura epistemica in occidente che ha avuto un impatto evidente anche sulla letteratura. Tale rottura è misurabile in particolare se si guarda al paradigma attorno al quale si riconfigurano le scienze umane e sociali. Se tale paradigma a partire dalla fine dell’Ottocento e per buona parte del Novecento è, secondo Foucault, la scoperta dell’inconscio, noi formuliamo l’ipotesi che, tra XX e XXI secolo, l’episteme si sia riconfigurata attorno al paradigma della mente così come è stata ridefinita dalle scienze cognitive, generando una nuova concezione dell’uomo e dei saperi. La letteratura e il personaggio letterario rappresentano il rivelatore della nuova episteme ma, in alcuni casi, conformemente alla concezione foucaultiana della letteratura, possono costituire anche uno spazio che si sottrae ad essa, che le resiste

Misantropi e uomini del sottosuolo. Personaggi dalla narrativa italiana contemporanea
Creators: name: Coiro, Antonio
Publisher: name: ENTHYMEMA
Year: 2020

description: Nel mio intervento analizzerò una specifica declinazione del personaggio letterario moderno e contemporaneo, che chiamo ‘archetipo del misantropo’, nel campo della narrativa italiana contemporanea. Anche all’interno della ampia galleria dei personaggi romanzeschi moderni è possibile isolare alcuni casi paradigmatici della postura del misantropo. Il riferimento più diretto è l’«uomo del sottosuolo» di Dostoevskij (1864). Sono diversi però i casi di testi in cui un narratore in prima persona esibisce la sua condizione di isolamento sociale e umano e, attraverso i toni dell’invettiva politica, articola una visione pessimistica o apocalittica del contesto storico. Questa forma di romanzo-monologo e questa declinazione del personaggio sono specifiche della narrativa modernista e delle sue persistenze nella narrativa successiva. Il mio intervento si concentra su uno specifico tratto dell’archetipo del misantropo, che rintraccio nei testi di autori italiani pubblicati tra gli anni ’90 e gli anni ’00.

description: We introduce an efficient computational scheme based on Macro Basis Function (MBF) method, to analyze the scattering of a plane wave by the V-shaped plasmonic optical nano-antennas. The polarization currents and the scattered fields for symmetric and anti-symmetric excitations are investigated. We investigate how the resonant frequency of the plasmonic V-shaped nanoantenna is tailored by engineering the geometrical parameters and by changing the polarization state of the incident plane wave. The computational model presented herein is faster by orders of magnitude than commercially available finite methods and is capable to characterize also other nanoantennas comprising of junctions and bends of nanorods.

description: Objective: The study sought to describe patient-entered supplemental information on symptomatic adverse events (AEs) in cancer clinical research reported via a National Cancer Institute software system and examine the feasibility of mapping these entries to established terminologies. Materials and Methods: Patients in 3 multicenter trials electronically completed surveys during cancer treatment. Each survey included a prespecified subset of items from the National Cancer Institute's Patient-Reported Outcomes version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE). Upon completion of the survey items, patients could add supplemental symptomatic AE information in a free text box. As patients typed into the box, structured dropdown terms could be selected from the PRO-CTCAE item library or Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA), or patients could type unstructured free text for submission. Results: Data were pooled from 1760 participants (48% women; 78% White) who completed 8892 surveys, of which 2387 (26.8%) included supplemental symptomatic AE information. Overall, 1024 (58%) patients entered supplemental information at least once, with an average of 2.3 per patient per study. This encompassed 1474 of 8892 (16.6%) dropdowns and 913 of 8892 (10.3%) unstructured free text entries. One-third of the unstructured free text entries (32%) could be mapped post hoc to a PRO-CTCAE term and 68% to a MedDRA term. Discussion: Participants frequently added supplemental information beyond study-specific survey items. Almost half selected a structured dropdown term, although many opted to submit unstructured free text entries. Most free text entries could be mapped post hoc to PRO-CTCAE or MedDRA terms, suggesting opportunities to enhance the system to perform real-time mapping for AE reporting. Conclusions: Patient reporting of symptomatic AEs using a text box functionality with mapping to existing terminologies is both feasible and informative.

description: We investigate group formations and strategic behaviors of renewable power producers in electricity markets. These producers currently bid into the day-ahead market in a conservative fashion because of the real-time risk associated with not meeting their bid amount. It has been suggested in the literature that producers would bid less conservatively if they can form large groups to take advantages of spatial diversity to reduce the uncertainty in their aggregate output. We show that large groups of renewable producers would act strategically to lower the aggregate output because of market power. To maximize renewable power production, we characterize the trade-off between market power and generation uncertainty as a function of the size of the groups. We show there is a sweet spot in the sense that there exists groups that are large enough to achieve the uncertainty reduction of the grand coalition, but are small enough such that they have no significant market power.We consider both independent and correlated forecast errors under a fixed real-time penalty. We also consider a real-time market where both selling and buying of energy are allowed. We validate our claims using PJM and NREL data.

Al tempo stesso, affronta il problema specifico di ritrarre personaggi non finzionali. Essi risultano costruiti secondo la necessità di arrivare a un giudizio morale, e richiedono che i concetti usati per definirli siano più scoperti di quanto accada nella fiction.

description: Importance: Significant controversy exists regarding whether physicians factor personal financial considerations into their clinical decision making. Within oncology, several reimbursement policies may incentivize physicians to increase health care use. Objective: To evaluate whether the financial incentives presented by oncology reimbursement policies affect physician practice patterns. Evidence Review: Studies evaluating an association between reimbursement incentives and changes in reimbursement policy on oncology care delivery were reviewed. Articles were identified systematically by searching PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Proquest Health Management, Econlit, and Business Source Premier. English-language articles focused on the US health care system that made empirical estimates of the association between a measurement of physician reimbursement/compensation and a measurement of delivery of cancer treatment services were included. The Risk of Bias in Non-Randomized Studies of Interventions tool was used to assess risk of bias. There were no date restrictions on the publications, and literature searches were finalized on February 14, 2018. Findings: Eighteen studies were included. All were observational cohort studies, and most had a moderate risk of bias. Heterogeneity of reimbursement policies and outcomes precluded meta-analysis; therefore, a qualitative synthesis was performed. Most studies (15 of 18 [83%]) reported an association between reimbursement and care delivery consistent with physician responsiveness to financial incentives, although such an association was not identified in all studies. Findings consistently suggested that self-referral arrangements may increase use of radiotherapy and that profitability of systemic anticancer agents may affect physicians' choice of drug. Findings were less conclusive as to whether profitability of systemic anticancer therapy affects the decision of whether to use any systemic therapy. Conclusions and Relevance: To date, this study is the first systematic review of reimbursement policy and clinical care delivery in oncology. The findings suggest that some oncologists may, in certain circumstances, alter treatment recommendations based on personal revenue considerations. An implication of this finding is that value-based reimbursement policies may be a useful tool to better align physician incentives with patient need and increase the value of oncology care.

description: Accurate direct $N$-body simulations help to obtain detailed information about the dynamical evolution of star clusters. They also enable comparisons with analytical models and Fokker-Planck or Monte-Carlo methods. NBODY6 is a well-known direct $N$-body code for star clusters, and NBODY6++ is the extended version designed for large particle number simulations by supercomputers. We present NBODY6++GPU, an optimized version of NBODY6++ with hybrid parallelization methods (MPI, GPU, OpenMP, and AVX/SSE) to accelerate large direct $N$-body simulations, and in particular to solve the million-body problem. We discuss the new features of the NBODY6++GPU code, benchmarks, as well as the first results from a simulation of a realistic globular cluster initially containing a million particles. For million-body simulations, NBODY6++GPU is $400-2000$ times faster than NBODY6 with 320 CPU cores and 32 NVIDIA K20X GPUs. With this computing cluster specification, the simulations of million-body globular clusters including $5\%$ primordial binaries require about an hour per half-mass crossing time.

Il personaggio del padre nella Väterliteratur

Publisher: name: ENTHYMEMA
Year: 2020

description: Il contributo si concentra sul personaggio del padre nella Väterliteratur, ricca produzione di lingua tedesca per lo più composta da testi di carattere (auto)biografico. Mentre studi recenti si sono interessati a questioni che riguardano il genere e la sua storia, il presente saggio presta attenzione allo statuto letterario della figura del padre, personaggio in parte biografico, in parte romanzesco. Sulla base degli esempi forniti da alcune opere, vengono così illustrati i motivi ricorrenti e la struttura narrativa dei Väterbücher, nonché lo stretto legame che intercorre fra la figura del padre e quella del figlio-narratore, che ne racconta la biografia ricorrendo a fonti eterogenee. Prendendo spunto da alcune considerazioni metaletterarie contenute nei testi, si cerca infine di mostrare come questa figura offra spunti di riflessione riguardo a temi quali il rapporto fra vita e scrittura, persona e personaggio, esperienza documentabile e fiction.

Varianti del tipo del Sonderling nel romanzo della Wende: Ein weites Feld di Günter Grass
Creators: name: Cermelli, Giovanna
Publisher: name: ENTHYMEMA
Year: 2020

description: Il romanzo di Grass, pubblicato nel 1995, è stato fatto oggetto a suo tempo di una virulenta discussione soprattutto a causa delle prese di posizione dell’autore in merito alla questione dell’unificazione tedesca. Fra gli aspetti discussi emerge anche la scelta di un protagonista che si presenta come un alter-ego o un révenant di Theodor Fontane e si esprime citandone l’opera o – soprattutto - parodiandone lo stile (in particolare lo stile epistolare e, dei romanzi, il tono delle conversazioni). Questa scelta comporterebbe una banalizzazione, soprattutto a livello discorsivo, delle drammatiche vicende svoltesi nei primi anni dopo la caduta del muro. Si tratta invece di una deliberata attenuazione: nella scelta del personaggio e del suo idioletto Grass riprende una figura tipica della tradizione letteraria tedesca, il Sonderling, assegnando all’innocuo pedante della tradizione, una figura con tratti anche comici, una funzione sottilmente eversiva rispetto alla retorica dei discorsi sull’unificazione.

Investigatori, giudici, boia I romanzi di genere di Friedrich Dürrenmatt
Creators: name: Fambrini, Alessandro
Publisher: name: ENTHYMEMA
Year: 2020

description: Friedrich Dürrenmatt esordisce come romanziere negli anni Cinquanta con due opere poliziesche, in cui la struttura del giallo tradizionale viene sottilmente modificata da incisi, divagazioni e sviamenti che infrangono la logica del genere e ci proiettano in un mondo meno solido e meno indagabile di quello del classico romanzo a enigma. È con il romanzo successivo, tuttavia, Das Versprechen (1958), che le convenzioni vengono completamente ribaltate e la razionalità dell’investigatore non guida più a una soluzione necessaria, ma precipita nel vuoto della follia e della mancanza di senso. Ancor di più, il Requiem per un romanzo giallo (sottotitolo di Das Versprechen) trova forma nel racconto Das Sterben der Pythia (1976), in cui Dürrenmatt rielabora il mito di Edipo e ne fa l’epitome per ogni (im)possibile indagine tesa a ricostruire una (la) verità in un mondo fuor di sesto.

description: Background: With increasing survival rates, a growing population of patients with cancer have received or will receive adjuvant therapy to prevent cancer recurrences. Patients and caregivers will confront the complexities of balancing the preventative benefits of adjuvant therapy with possible near-term or long-term adverse events (AEs). Adjuvant treatment–related AEs (from minimal to severe) can impact therapeutic adherence, quality of life, emotional and physical health, and survival. However, to the authors' knowledge, limited information is available regarding how stakeholders use or desire to use adjuvant-related AE information to inform the care of patients with cancer. Methods: A qualitative, purposeful sampling approach was used to elicit stakeholder feedback via semistructured interviews (24 interviews). Drug development, drug regulatory, clinical, payer, and patient/patient advocacy stakeholders were questioned about the generation, dissemination, and use of adjuvant treatment–related AE information to inform the care of patients with cancer. Transcripts were coded independently by 2 senior health care researchers and reconciled to identify key themes. Results: All stakeholder groups in the current study identified needed improvements in each of the following 4 areas: 1) improving the accessibility and relevance of AE-related information; 2) better integrating and implementing available information regarding AEs for decisions; 3) connecting contemporary cultural and economic value systems to the generation and use of information regarding adjuvant treatment–related AEs; and 4) addressing a lack of alignment and ownership of stakeholder efforts to improve the use of AE information in the adjuvant setting. Conclusions: Despite commonalities in the overall needs identified by the diverse stakeholders in the current study, broad systemic change has been stymied. The current study identified the lack of alignment and the absence of a central “owner” of these diffuse efforts as a previously unrecognized hurdle to realizing the desired systemic improvements. Future initiatives aimed at improving quality of life and outcomes for patients receiving adjuvant therapy through the improved use of AE information must address this challenge through innovative collectives and novel leadership strategies.

description: In recent years the study of two particle systems on the lattice has led to excellent results in the meson sector of the QCD spectrum, however baryon resonances mostly remain unexplored. We present a study of pion-nucleon systems as decay product of baryon resonances in different channels, with special focus on the nucleon spectrum. We evaluate the correlation functions of single and multi particle interpolators. All the Wick contributions are explicitly computed and the consequences of reduced symmetries in moving frames are taken into account. We discuss the theoretical setup together with results for $n_f=2$ mass degenerate light quarks.

L’autore (quasi)-personaggio e altre identità mutevoli nella prosa romena postmodernista
Creators: name: David, Emilia
Publisher: name: ENTHYMEMA
Year: 2020

description: Presenterò in questo saggio alcuni aspetti che definiscono il personaggio nella letteratura romena degli anni ’80, ’90 del Novecento e dei primi anni 2000, ovvero il protagonista romanzesco che parla soprattutto in prima persona, anzitutto all’interno del paradigma letterario creato in seno al postmodernismo romeno, che è stato il modello più innovativo, interessante e produttivo nella prosa degli ultimi decenni in Romania. Nel panorama della letteratura romena sul finire del Novecento, dominata dalla narrativa che si ispira alla biografia di chi scrive, l’analisi dell’homo fictus presuppone anche l’approfondimento di altre nozioni connesse alla costruzione narrativa e al rapporto che si stabilisce fra realtà e finzione. Nei testi esaminati nel saggio saranno indicati alcuni di questi nessi, dapprima nella prosa di Mircea Cărtărescu e in modo più sintetico in taluni romanzi e racconti di Matei Vişniec e di Ştefan Agopian. Ho privilegiato il personaggio-autore o meglio l’autore-personaggio, ma si potrà notare che tale binomio si carica di valenze molteplici e di sfumature che rendono meno certo e un po’ sfuggente agli occhi del lettore lo statuto della medesima coppia di categorie critico-letterarie.

Si tratta di una problematica che, se da una parte mostra i suoi debiti verso la grande stagione del romanzo otto-novecentesco, dall’altra presenta un’articolazione originale, in cui il recupero della tradizione realista e modernista coesiste con tendenze peculiari della narrativa contemporanea. Una volta analizzate le configurazioni che questo tema assume nei diversi autori, sarà interessante valutare non soltanto le sue ricadute sulla costruzione del personaggio, ma anche i suoi legami con l’organizzazione formale del racconto

description: Background: The majority of urothelial cancers (UC) harbor alterations in retinoblastoma (Rb) pathway genes that can lead to loss of Rb tumour suppressor function. Palbociclib is an oral, selective inhibitor of CDK 4/6 that restores Rb function and promotes cell cycle arrest. Methods: In this phase II trial, patients with metastatic platinum-refractory UC molecularly selected for p16 loss and intact Rb by tumour immunohistochemistry received palbociclib 125 mg p.o. daily for 21 days of a 28-day cycle. Primary endpoint was progression-free survival at 4 months (PFS4) using a Simon’s two-stage design. Next-generation sequencing including Rb pathway alterations was conducted. Results: Twelve patients were enrolled and two patients (17%) achieved PFS4 with insufficient activity to advance to stage 2. No responses were seen. Median PFS was 1.9 months (95% CI 1.8–3.7 months) and median overall survival was 6.3 months (95% CI 2.2–12.6 months). Fifty-eight percent of patients had grade ≥3 hematologic toxicity. There were no CDKN2A alterations found and no correlation of Rb pathway alterations with clinical outcome. Conclusions: Palbociclib did not demonstrate meaningful activity in selected patients with platinum-refractory metastatic UC. Further development of palbociclib should only be considered with improved integral biomarker selection or in rational combination with other therapies.

Il ritorno della Storia. Note su Dora Bruder, Jan Karski, Les Bienveillantes

Publisher: name: ENTHYMEMA

description: Il processo al romanzo realista iniziato tra la fine dell’Ottocento e l’inizio del Novecento in Francia, ed estesosi fino agli anni Sessanta, rivendicava la riduzione e persino l’eliminazione della Storia dal progetto estetico di una parte della letteratura. Tra gli anni Ottanta e Novanta del Novecento, con il crollo delle ideologie, il tramonto dei valori tradizionali e il futuro offuscato da uno sguardo troppo orientato sul presente, il romanzo postmoderno torna invece a mettere in scena personaggi che guardano il passato e reintroducono la dimensione storica. Tre esempi, Modiano, Haenel, Littel, mostrano il grande ritorno della Storia nella tessitura del romanzo con personaggi dotati di una logica che attraversano i lati più oscuri e terribili della condizione umana.

description: Quantum mechanics establishes the ultimate limit to the scaling of the precision on any parameter, by iden- tifying optimal probe states and measurements. While this paradigm is, at least in principle, adequate for the metrology of quantum channels involving the estimation of phase and loss parameters, we show that estimat- ing the loss parameters associated with a quantum channel and a realistic quantum detector are fundamentally different. While Fock states are provably optimal for the former, we identify a crossover in the nature of the optimal probe state for estimating detector imperfections as a function of the loss parameter. We provide explicit results for on-off and homodyne detectors, the most widely used detectors in quantum photonics technologies.
L’Acacia di Claude Simon: una singolare autobiografia
Creators: name: Morosi, Alice
Publisher: name: ENTHYMEMA
Year: 2020

description: L’obiettivo del mio intervento è quello di presentare il particolare caso di L’Acacia di Claude Simon. Questo testo, infatti, presenta uno statuto problematico dovuto anche alla difficoltà di interpretare la natura del personaggio principale. L’Acacia fa parte dei testi della maturità di Claude Simon, è pubblicata nel 1989 e riprende in larghissima parte i temi e le convenzioni delle opere simoniane precedenti. Simon, infatti, fonda tutti i suoi testi su di un particolare mélange di elementi romanzeschi e vicende autobiografiche, che ricorrono da un’opera all’altra e che si mescolano tra loro su numerosi livelli. La presenza di numerosi elementi appartenenti alla storia personale o familiare dell’autore conferisce a questo romanzo un aspetto autobiografico, tuttavia parlare di un’autobiografia in terza persona appare paradossale poiché il genere autobiografico suppone una certa complementarietà tra il discorso scritto sulla pagina e un’identità assunta al di sotto di una designazione specifica di un io.

description: Introduction: The rising cost of cancer drugs may make treatment unaffordable for some patients. Patients often rely on drug manufacturer-administered Pharmaceutical Assistance Programs (PAPs) to obtain drugs and reduced or no cost. The overall usage of PAPs within cancer care delivery is unknown. Methods: We included all cancer patients across an academically affiliated, integrated health system in North Carolina during 2014 (N = 8591). We identified the subset of patients receiving PAP assistance to afford one or more cancer drugs, in order to calculate the proportion of patients receiving PAP assistance, and the retail value of the assistance. Results: Among 8591 cancer patients, 215 unique patients submitted a total of 478 successful PAP requests for cancer drugs. 40% of PAP-utilizing patients were uninsured, 23% had Medicaid coverage, 20% had Medicare coverage, 2% were dual Medicare/Medicaid eligible, and 14% were commercially insured. Among all cancer patients who received medical treatment, 6.0% required PAP assistance, whereas 10.6% receiving an oral agent required PAP assistance. The proportion receiving PAP assistance varied substantially by drug, ranging from <1% of patients (e.g. carboplatin, methotrexate) to 50% of patients (e.g. ponatinib, temsirolimus). The majority of the retail value obtained was for oral agents, including $1,556,575 of imatinib and $1,449,633 of dasatinib, which were the two drugs with the highest aggregate retail value. Conclusions: A substantial proportion of cancer patients receive private charitable assistance to obtain standard-of-care treatments. This includes patients with federal and private insurance, suggesting an inability of patients to meet cost-sharing requirements.

description: Objective: Persistent pain is common and inadequately treated in cancer patients. Behavioral pain interventions are a recommended part of multimodal pain treatments, but they are underused in clinical care due to barriers such as a lack of the resources needed to deliver them in person and difficulties coordinating their use with clinical care. Pain coping skills training (PCST) is an evidence-based behavioral pain intervention traditionally delivered in person. Delivering this training via the web would increase access to it by addressing barriers that currently limit its use. We conducted a patient pilot study of an 8-week web-based PCST program to determine the acceptability of this approach to patients and the program features needed to meet their needs. Focus groups with healthcare providers identified strategies for coordinating the use of web-based PCST in clinical care.Method: Participants included 7 adults with bone pain due to multiple myeloma or metastasized breast or prostate cancer and 12 healthcare providers (4 physicians and 8 advanced practice providers) who treat cancer-related bone pain. Patients completed web-based PCST at home and then took part in an in-depth qualitative interview. Providers attended focus groups led by a trained moderator. Qualitative analyses identified themes in the patient and provider data.Results: Patients reported strongly favorable responses to web-based PCST and described emotional and physical benefits. They offered suggestions for adapting the approach to better fit their needs and to overcome barriers to completion. Focus groups indicated a need to familiarize healthcare providers with PCST and to address concerns about overburdening patients. Providers would recommend the program to patients they felt could benefit. They suggested applying a broad definition of cancer pain and having various types of providers help coordinate program its use with clinical care.Significance of results: Web-based PCST was acceptable to patients and providers. Our findings suggest that patients could benefit from this approach, especially if patient and provider barriers are addressed.
Disturbo della quieta pubblica (Disturbing the peace). Psicoanalisi dell’autodistruzione in Richard Yates: John Wilder
Creators: name: Valdré, Rossella
Publisher: name: ENTHYMEMA
Year: 2020

description: Il lavoro prende in esame, sotto il profilo psicoanalitico, il personaggio di John Wilder, protagonista di “Disturbo della quiete pubblica” di Richard Yates del 1975. Vengono presentati alcuni estratti significativi del romanzo, la trama, e a seguire una riflessione psicoanalitica che esplora l’economia psichica del personaggio. Questa viene individuata nel masochismo, per come postulato da Freud e alcuni autori post-freudiani, istanza che rappresenta un derivato di pulsione di morte e un paradossale assetto di tutta la vita psichica. Ci si domanda come agisce il masochismo inconscio nelle azioni del personaggio, come influenza la sua sconfitta ma anche la sua singolare risorsa, e come tutto ciò si articola con la speranza, da cui John, come tutti i personaggi di Yates, è particolarmente condizionato.

Su personaggio, pensiero e storia nel romanzo-monologo. Con esempi tratti da Peter Weiss e Wolfgang Hildesheimer
Creators: name: Grazzini, Serena
Publisher: name: ENTHYMEMA
Year: 2020

description: Dopo lo scetticismo nei confronti della nozione del personaggio, il ritorno alla narrazione nella letteratura degli ultimi decenni ha stimolato, nel discorso critico, una certa irritazione nei confronti di molta letteratura novecentesca di matrice modernista. La critica è anzi sfociata ormai da tempo in severi giudizi etici quando non addirittura moralistici su questa letteratura che, nel mettere in scena l’uomo che pensa, lo isolerebbe dal mondo, minando ogni sua possibilità di sviluppo e, con ciò, il dispiegamento della narrazione. In considerazione di questi giudizi, il contributo propone una riflessione diversa su un personaggio emblematico della tradizione letteraria oggi sotto accusa: il personaggio locutore del romanzo-monologo. Tramite alcuni considerazioni teoriche sulle caratteristiche del personaggio monologante e l’analisi di testi della letteratura tedesca secondo novecentesca, l’attenzione sarà focalizzata, in particolare, sul rapporto che questi personaggi e, con loro, i romanzi-monologo intrattengono con la storia.
