Abramo e il capitalismo
Creators: name: Turri, Maria Grazia
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2014

description: «I could think of another Abraham for myself». This is the heart of the Derrida’s economic thought. Abraham is the symbolon of the oikonomico. His work is particularly relevant for understanding financial capitalism, because financial markets are based on the relationship between debts and credits and on the promise to pay in time–lag: khôra becomes the tópos of finance. Abraham’s narrative is the paradox of the economy of reward: God donates future time to Isaac. In financial markets, borrowers (payers) ask for time to creditors and they make up time–objects in order to extend credits. The wordly gift is a substitute for the monetary economic exchange, which fails to take account of gift’s responsibility. It is an aporetic event when it is combined with the notion of the economic ego. Insofar as Derrida’s gift is defined in contrast with objects of economic reciprocity, it must appear without any connection to the cycle of imbursement and reimbursement. Only the aneconomic gift of time transcends all conceptualization, yet it underlies our more basic nature and it is aporetic because it closely intertwines the times: aion, kronos and kairos. In this point of view, Marx’s onto–eschatology is compromised by fetishism and its accompanying spectrality, because it tries to hypostasize absolute presence and preserve it from diVerence in order to pretend that alienation and otherness can be overcome, when in fact they cannot.

description: The volatiles from a rare and endemic plant Bupleurum plantagineum Desf collected from Béjaia (Algerian National Park) were analyzed using HS-SPME-GC/MS. The main factors affecting this extraction technique, including fibre coating, ionic forces (salt adding), temperature and time of extraction were performed in order to reach a maximum of sensitivity. The best results were obtained by PDMS fiber using the powdered leaves at specific temperatures for 25 min, without salt adding. On the other hand, the volatile composition of leaves, stems and roots were determined with a clear prevalence of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons of 45.66, 31.99 and 70.28% respectively. A qualitative comparison with essential oil from hydrodistillation was also performed showing differences essentially in minor components.

description: In the present work the power spectrum of a particular class of tachyon fields is compared with the one corresponding to a cosmological constant model. This is done for different barotropic indexes $γ_0$ and the background space time is assumed to be of the spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker type. The differential equation describing the perturbations is solved numerically and the power spectrum at the scale factor value $a=1$ is plotted for each case. The result is that the power spectrum of the standard tachyon field differs in many magnitude orders from the $Λ$CDM. However, the one with $γ_0=1.91$, which corresponds to a complementary tachyon field, coincides fairly well with the concordance model. Therefore, we conclude that the perturbed solutions constitute an effective method to distinguish between the different $γ_0$ values for the tachionization $Λ$CDM model and the fiducial model. The Statefinder parameters $\{r, s\}$, measuring the deviations of the analysed model from the concordance model, are also explicitly calculated. Our result suggest that, depending on the value of $γ_0$, these models can explain the observed expansion history or the perturbation power spectrum of the universe, but they may have problems in describing both features simultaneously.

EFFECTS OF SHELL DAMAGE ON MORTALITY OF THE EASTERN OYSTER (CRASSOSTREA VIRGINICA) IN NORMOXIC AND ANOXIC CONDITIONS

description: Deoxygenation is increasingly problematic in coastal waters globally, with many costal estuaries subject to zones of hypoxia (< 2 mg/L dissolved oxygen) or anoxia (< 0.5 mg/L dissolved oxygen). The presence of hypoxic and anoxic zones can place a unique physiological burden on marine fauna and flora, potentially leading to mass mortality and resulting in dead zones. Anthropogenic stressors, such as increased nutrient input (primarily Nitrogen and Phosphorus), have led to long-term increases of hypoxia in the Chesapeake Bay over the 20th century. Although environmental management policies for the Bay have mitigated hypoxia trends, hypoxia continues to be prevalent through many parts of the Bay. While motile aquatic organisms can change locations to avoid seasonal or long-term bouts of deoxygenation, organisms with sessile adult life stages cannot move to avoid this ecological stressor. The Eastern Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) is a foundational species in the Chesapeake Bay’s ecosystem, performing many ecosystem services such as water filtration, nutrient cycling, and fostering benthic-pelagic connectivity while also serving as an economic resource for commercial fishing. However, long-term trends in hypoxia and anoxia, combined with other anthropogenic stressors, have contributed to a decline in Eastern Oyster in the Bay, leaving populations at a fraction of historical levels, fostering a need for research to better understand the physiological and biomechanical responses of C. virginica to depletion of dissolved oxygen. While the Eastern Oyster has been termed a champion of hypoxic tolerance, and studies have been published exploring the impacts of low DO on oyster mortality and sublethal responses, research is still in search of answers to whether the response of the oyster comes from shell-based behavioral resilience to isolate the animal from environmental conditions, or physiological adaptions from the tissue of the oyster. By drilling holes of three different sizes into one valve of the oyster and exposing it to anoxic external conditions, this study aims to bridge the gap in knowledge of whether anoxic tolerance is a behavioral or physiological response. Oysters with a hole drilled in the shell of any size experienced much faster mortality in anoxic environments than oysters with no hole in the shell (χ2= 8, p = 0.005), while the size of the hole drilled did not impact time to death. These results shed new light on the behavioral response of the Eastern Oyster to depleted dissolved oxygen and the importance of clamping to ostracize internal tissue from environmental deviations.

description: Binary solar system objects are common and range from satellite systems with very large mass ratios $M_1/M_2$ to mass ratios very close to unity. A well-known example of a binary is the Pluto-Charon system. With Charon only eight times less massive than Pluto the question arises as for many other systems, why the mass-ratio is still close to unity. There is much evidence that (binary) planet(esimal) formation happened early, when the protoplanetary gas disk was still around. It is likely that (some of) these binaries grew up together subject to pebble accretion. Here we focus on the question of how the mass arriving in the gravitational influence zone of the binary during pebble accretion, is distributed over the binary components. Does the accretion through time lead to a converging mass ratio, or to a diverging mass ratio? We numerically integrate pebble paths in the same well-known fashion as for a single mass subject to pebble accretion and track what the efficiency of accretion is for the two separate binary components, compared to a single body with the same mass. These numerical simulations are done for a range of binary mass-ratios, mutual separations, Stokes numbers and two orbital distances, 2.5 and 39 au. We find that in the limit where pebbles start to spiral around the primary (this holds for relatively large pebbles), the pebble preferentially collides with the secondary, causing the mass ratio to converge towards unity on Myr timescales. In this regime the total sweep-up efficiency can lower to half that of a pebble-accreting single body because pebbles that are thrown out of the system, after close encounters with the system. The results show that systems such as Pluto-Charon and other larger equal mass binaries could well have co-accreted by means of pebble accretion in the disk phase without producing binaries with highly diverging mass-ratios.

Pharmacologie et prolétarisation

Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2014

description: In this paper we argue that Jacques Derrida opened the way to realize the fundamental role of Husserl’s phenomenology of the consciousness of internal time, yet he did not go through. Since he did not properly examine the transductive relation between intentional consciousness and tertiary retentions, he eventually did not thoroughly understand the essential and inherent technicity of human beings. He also missed the intrinsic plurality of traces at the origin. If for Grammatology it is impossible to become a positive science, we show that it can turn itself into a positive praxis: pharmacology. Such a praxis needs a theory that we call general organology, which has the features of a political economy.

description: Background: The early diagnosis and treatment of depression are cancer care priorities. These priorities are critical for prostate cancer survivors because men rarely seek mental health care. However, little is known about the epidemiology of depression in this patient population. The goal of this study was to describe the prevalence and predictors of probable depression in prostate cancer survivors. Methods: The data were from a population-based cohort of North Carolinian prostate cancer survivors who were enrolled from 2004 to 2007 in the North Carolina–Louisiana Prostate Cancer Project (n = 1031) and were prospectively followed annually from 2008 to 2011 in the Health Care Access and Prostate Cancer Treatment in North Carolina study (n = 805). Generalized estimating equations were used to evaluate an indicator of probable depression (Short Form 12 mental composite score ≤48.9; measured at enrollment and during the annual follow-up) as a function of individual-level characteristics within the longitudinal data set. Results: The prevalence of probable depression fell from 38% in the year of the cancer diagnosis to 20% 6 to 7 years later. Risk factors for probable depression throughout the study were African American race, unemployment, low annual income, younger age, recency of cancer diagnosis, past depression, comorbidities, treatment decisional regret, and nonadherence to exercise recommendations. Conclusions: Depression is a major challenge for prostate cancer survivors, particularly in the first 5 years after the cancer diagnosis. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate an association between treatment decisional regret and probable depression.

description: An iterative procedure perturbatively solving the quantum spectral curve of planar N=4 SYM for any operator in the sl(2) sector is presented. A Mathematica notebook executing this procedure is enclosed. The obtained results include 10-loop computations of the conformal dimensions of more than ten different operators. We prove that the conformal dimensions are always expressed, at any loop order, in terms of multiple zeta-values with coefficients from an algebraic number field determined by the one-loop Baxter equation. We observe that all the perturbative results that were computed explicitly are given in terms of a smaller algebra: single-valued multiple zeta-values times the algebraic numbers.

description: In this paper we question the World Economic Forum and its Global Agenda Council on Values regarding the effectiveness of their new Social Covenant, with corporations and institutions, workers therein, and the larger world. From my early contact with Derrida’s work, and as a member of the Council I argue for a renewal of the epistemological, not only for workers and victims of the current state of affaire, but also of those at the top, intellectuals, politicians and the corporate sector. We must supplement the one–size–fits–all toolkit–culture of problem solving and work to rearrange the desires of the highly diversified populations of the world. Derrida’s work helps us consolidate the argument that Humanities education can be this supplement. The possibility of receiving this help becomes harder if Derrida’s work is niched back into disciplinary discourse.

La legge economica del proprio e il suo impossibile al di là
Creators: name: Resta, Caterina
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2014

description: In the current and unprecedented economic crisis, which affects with unusual cruelty mainly the European countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, it is urgent, with the help of Derrida’s deconstruction, to rethink the concept of oikonomia as the law of the house and of the “proper”. Discovering, in the folds of Freud’s Beyond the Pleasure Principle the drive of the proper and of power, Derrida, unlike Freud, goes farther than an “economy of the possible” in order to mitigate the cruelest aspects of the death instinct that feeds the desire for power and mastery. Beyond this strategy, which nonetheless is necessary, deconstruction of oikonomia identifies in the event, as the incalculable, the im–possible non–power that, in an aYrmative way, names an inappropriable surplus, from which it is possible to think an an–economy of the gift, forgiveness, hospitality and of those other figures of unconditionality without sovereignty, which are, perhaps, the most “intractable” legacy of deconstruction.

description: Charge carrier dynamics essentially determine the performance of various optoelectronic applications of colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals. Among them, two-dimensional nanoplatelets provide new adjustment freedom for their unique core/crown heterostructure. Herein, we demonstrate that by fine-tuning the core size and the lateral quantum confinement, the charge carrier transfer rate from the crown to the core can be varied by one order of magnitude in CdSe/CdSeS core/alloy-crown nanoplatelets. In addition, the transfer can be affected by a carrier blocking mechanism, i.e., the filled carriers hinder further possible transfer. Furthermore, we found that the biexciton interaction is oppositely affected by quantum confinement and electron delocalization, resulting in a non-monotonic variation of the biexciton binding energy with the emission wavelength. This work provides new observations and insights into the charge carrier transfer dynamics and exciton interactions in colloidal nanoplatelets and will promote their further applications in lasing, display, sensing, etc.

description: Pseudo supervision is regarded as the core idea in semi-supervised learning for semantic segmentation, and there is always a tradeoff between utilizing only the high-quality pseudo labels and leveraging all the pseudo labels. Addressing that, we propose a novel learning approach, called Conservative-Progressive Collaborative Learning (CPCL), among which two predictive networks are trained in parallel, and the pseudo supervision is implemented based on both the agreement and disagreement of the two predictions. One network seeks common ground via intersection supervision and is supervised by the high-quality labels to ensure a more reliable supervision, while the other network reserves differences via union supervision and is supervised by all the pseudo labels to keep exploring with curiosity. Thus, the collaboration of conservative evolution and progressive exploration can be achieved. To reduce the influences of the suspicious pseudo labels, the loss is dynamic re-weighted according to the prediction confidence. Extensive experiments demonstrate that CPCL achieves state-of-the-art performance for semi-supervised semantic segmentation.

description: Let $M$ be a $2\times2$ real matrix with both eigenvalues less than~1 in modulus. Consider two self-affine contraction maps from $\mathbb R^2 \to \mathbb R^2$, \begin{equation*} T_m(v) = M v - u \ \ \mathrm{and}\ \ T_p(v) = M v + u, \end{equation*} where $u\neq0$. We are interested in the properties of the attractor of the iterated function system (IFS) generated by $T_m$ and $T_p$, i.e., the unique non-empty compact set $A$ such that $A = T_m(A) \cup T_p(A)$. Our two main results are as follows: 1. If both eigenvalues of $M$ are between $2^{-1/4}\approx 0.8409$ and $1$ in absolute value, and the IFS is non-degenerate, then $A$ has non-empty interior. 2. For almost all non-degenerate IFS, the set of points which have a unique address is of positive Hausdorff dimension -- with the exceptional cases fully described as well. This paper continues our work begun in [11].

L’economia delle tracce

Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2014

description: The article develops a reflection around the term «économie des traces» that Derrida uses in one of his first interviews (1968). The aim is to show how, according to the French philosopher, inside the «originary historicity of being» (Heidegger), on the one hand «there is always economy», and on the other, at the same time, «there is always beyond the economy». The economic aspect of diVérance therefore imposes a calculation that necessarily must take account of a remainder or surplus that eludes every calculation: economics, which is an essential feature of a finite and deadly being, has, therefore, to be a «double science». Thus emerges the fundamental link between the «économie des traces» and the «political question» of deconstruction.

description: We describe the synthesis of epi-oligomycin A, a (33S)-diastereomer of the antibiotic oligomycin A. The structure of (33S)-oligomycin A was determined by elemental analysis, spectroscopic studies, including 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. Isomerization of C33 hydroxyl group led to minor changes in the potency against Aspergillus niger, Candida spp., and filamentous fungi whereas the activity against Streptomyces fradiae decreased by approximately 20-fold compared to oligomycin A. We observed that 33-epi-oligomycin A had the same activity on the human leukemia cell line K562 as oligomycin A but was more potent for the multidrug resistant subline K562/4. Non-malignant cells were less sensitive to both oligomycin isomers. Finally, our results pointed at the dependence of the cytotoxicity of oligomycins on oxygen supply.
Situation de la déconstruction
Creators: name: Goux, Jean–Joseph
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2014

description: Derrida’s philosophy is first of all about sign, writing, text, but it also leads to economy through the notion of « différance » and through the structural homologies between language and money. Homologies which are inherent to Saussure’s analysis of value in linguistic. More generally, the relationship between the discourse and reality could be metaphorized by the operation of convertibility of conventional monetary signs to an available gold treasure. Nevertheless, this « promise of gold » (Bergson) belongs to an era which is no longer ours, in the present regime of inconvertibility. The main thesis of this article is that Derrida’s deconstruction situates itself in a precise historical moment, between the promise of convertibility (where gold is the typical value, available somewhere) and the venue of inconvertibility, a regime in which the sign, either monetary or linguistic, refers to other signs, in an indefinite play, without garanted and stable value or « transcendantal signified ». Then, the era of deconstruction could be linked to an era of economy which can be itself enlightened in return by the various concepts related to deconstruction.

description: The Clinical Sequencing Evidence-Generating Research (CSER) consortium, now in its second funding cycle, is investigating the effectiveness of integrating genomic (exome or genome) sequencing into the clinical care of diverse and medically underserved individuals in a variety of healthcare settings and disease states. The consortium comprises a coordinating center, six funded extramural clinical projects, and an ongoing National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) intramural project. Collectively, these projects aim to enroll and sequence over 6,100 participants in four years. At least 60% of participants will be of non-European ancestry or from underserved settings, with the goal of diversifying the populations that are providing an evidence base for genomic medicine. Five of the six clinical projects are enrolling pediatric patients with various phenotypes. One of these five projects is also enrolling couples whose fetus has a structural anomaly, and the sixth project is enrolling adults at risk for hereditary cancer. The ongoing NHGRI intramural project has enrolled primarily healthy adults. Goals of the consortium include assessing the clinical utility of genomic sequencing, exploring medical follow up and cascade testing of relatives, and evaluating patient-provider-laboratory level interactions that influence the use of this technology. The findings from the CSER consortium will offer patients, healthcare systems, and policymakers a clearer understanding of the opportunities and challenges of providing genomic medicine in diverse populations and settings, and contribute evidence toward developing best practices for the delivery of clinically useful and cost-effective genomic sequencing in diverse healthcare settings.

Keeping it real: the potential for accessible mixed-reality usability testing environments

description: This body of research contributes to design praxeology: the study of process and methodology with the intention to enhance the designer’s experience of the human-centred design process by means of validating an optimum usability testing environment for recreating the context of use early in the design process. Usability testing will frequently make the difference between an excellent product and a poor one. Moreover, in certain fields such as medical device development or training, the defence field or the automotive industry, such testing can literally be the difference between life and death. Unfortunately, design teams rarely have the luxury of either time or budget to usability test every aspect of a design at every stage, and so knowing where and when to devote time to testing, and the fidelity required for accurate results, are all critical to delivering a good result. This thesis introduces research aimed at defining the optimum fidelity of mixed-reality usability testing environments. It aims to develop knowledge enabling the optimization of usability testing environments by balancing effort vs reward and thus developing critical and accurate data early in the design process. This research also seeks to validate the findings of an optimum environment in a final study and highlight the significance of early usability testing in a simulated context of use. Testing in a traditional laboratory setting brings advantages such as the ability to limit experimental variability, control confidentiality and measure performance in detail. Its disadvantages over ‘in the wild’ or field studies approaches tend to be related to ecological validity and the small but vitally important changes in user behaviour in real-life settings. Virtual reality and hybrid physical-virtual testing environments should theoretically give designers the best of both worlds, finding critical design flaws cheaply and early. However, many attempts have focused on high-fidelity, technology-rich approaches that make them simultaneously more expensive, less flexible and less accessible. Additionally, the design literature does not take due account of computer science and psychology when dealing with recreating environments. The final result is that they are less viable and hence somewhat counter-productive. This thesis presents the results of testing at a variety of fidelity levels within a mixed-reality testing environment, and offers a contribution to new knowledge in determining how usability testing can be maximized to recreate context of use environments early in the design process. The findings recommend the use of recreated environments throughout the design process complemented by field/in-the-wild testing once the product is of high fidelity.

description: Europe’s discredit, which has economic causes, gave rise to a new thrust of nationalist fever and to the temptation to settle back on restaured and largely made up national identities. New solidarities need to be invented, in order to take care of all those who were left behind by the political solutions to the European crisis. A close reading of L’autre cap provides the thread of the essay.

description: It is known that relativistic wavefunctions formally propagate beyond the light cone when the propagator is limited to the positive energy sector. By construction, this is the case for solutions of the Salpeter (or relativistic Schrödinger) equation or for Klein-Gordon and Dirac wavefunctions defined in the Foldy-Wouthuysen representation. In this work we investigate quantitatively the degree of non-causality for free propagation for different types of wavepackets all having initially a compact spatial support. In the studied examples we find that non-causality appears as a small transient effect that can in most cases be neglected. We display several numerical results and discuss the fundamental and practical consequences of our findings concerning this peculiar dynamical feature.

description: The aim of our study is to estimate the hepatoprotective effects of the ethanolic extract of the leaves of Sequoia sempervirens by determination of liver biomarkers (ALT, AST, total bilirubin and albumin in serum) and by histopathological examinations using thioacetamide-induced (TAA) liver injury model. Concurrent administration of ethanolic extracts of S. sempervirens leaves improved the alterations in liver morphology where it was a potent protector of the liver. The potential of L-phenylalanine and silver nitrate as chemical elicitors as well as UV radiation as a physical elicitor on flavonoid production in callus culture of S. sempervirens were emphasized. Murashige and Skoog’s medium fortified with phenylalanine and silver nitrate enhanced the production of flavonoids and phenolics. HPLC analysis was performed for qualitative and quantitative estimation of some flavonoid compounds in the produced calli in comparison with the mother plant. This finding highlights the potential use of S. sempervirens in the treatment of liver dysfunction.

description: Due to the increased concerns about climate change, multiple states including California havestarted to pass legislation that phases out high global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants in HVAC and refrigeration systems. The likely replacements are A2L refrigerant which have lower GWP and are mildly flammable. This will require area monitoring leak detection systems for all future applications of these refrigerants. These detection systems preferably need to operate continuously for up to 15 years. The UL 60335-2-40 (2019) standard defines the sensor response time which must alarm within 10 seconds of exposure to 100% of the refrigerant’s LFL. Development of sensors capable of meeting the UL 60335-2-40 standard has been slow with many different types of gas sensing technologies being used. One of these technologies that was identified as a potential candidate was non-dispersive infrared (NDIR). A sensor not yet available commercially was able to be obtained to test its response to A2L refrigerants R-32 and R-454B according to the UL 60335-2-40 standard. Three other competing sensing technologies were also obtained to compare the performance of other sensors about to hit the market. These sensors were characterized by their linearity to varying concentrations of A2L refrigerant, response time, and to contamination. All the tested sensors were able to meet the 10 second requirement for response time. However, all but the NDIR sensor experienced a change in output when exposed to a list of prescribed contaminants by the UL 60335-2-40 standard. After the contamination, the NDIR sensor showed no change in its output indicating it experienced no poisoning effect. The NDIR sensor was deemed to have the optimal performance out of the sensing technologies. Long term exposure, exposure to contaminants and refrigerant at the same time, and service lifetime are still concerns.
Configurational temperature in active matter. II. Quantifying the deviation from thermal equilibrium

description: This paper suggests using the configurational temperature $\Tc$ for quantifying how far an active-matter system is from thermal equilibrium. We measure this ``distance'' by the ratio of the systemic temperature $\Ts$ to $\Tc$, where $\Ts$ is the canonical-ensemble temperature for which the average potential energy is equal to that of the active-matter system. $\Tc$ is ``local'' in the sense that it is the average of a function, which only depends on how the potential energy varies in the vicinity of a given configuration; in contrast $\Ts$ is a global quantity. The quantity $\Ts/\Tc$ is straightforward to evaluate in a computer simulation; equilibrium simulations in conjunction with a single steady-state active-matter configuration are enough to determine $\Ts/\Tc$. We validate the suggestion that $\Ts/\Tc$ quantifies the deviation from thermal equilibrium by data for the radial distribution function of 3d Kob-Andersen and 2d Yukawa active-matter models with active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck and active Brownian Particle dynamics. Moreover, we show that $\Ts/\Tc$, structure, and dynamics of the homogeneous phase are all approximately invariant along the motility-induced phase separation (MIPS) boundary in the phase diagram of the 2d Yukawa model. The measure $\Ts/\Tc$ is not limited to active matter; it can be used for quantifying how far any system involving a potential-energy function, e.g., a driven Hamiltonian system, is from thermal equilibrium.

description: Purpose: Costly surveillance and treatment of bladder cancer can lead to financial toxicity, a treatment related financial burden. Our objective was to define the prevalence of financial toxicity among patients with bladder cancer and identify delays in care and its effect on health related quality of life. Materials and Methods: We identified patients with bladder cancer in the University of North Carolina Health Registry/Cancer Survivorship Cohort. Financial toxicity was defined as agreement with having “to pay more for medical care than you can afford.” Health related quality of life was measured using general and cancer specific validated questionnaires. Statistical analyses were performed using the Fisher exact test and the Student t-test. Results: A total of 138 patients with bladder cancer were evaluated. Median age was 66.9 years, 75% of the patients were male and 89% were white. Of the participants 33 (24%) endorsed financial toxicity. Participants who were younger (p = 0.02), black (p = 0.01), reported less than a college degree (p = 0.01) and had noninvasive disease (p = 0.04) were more likely to report financial toxicity. On multivariable analysis only age was a significant predictor of financial toxicity. Patients who endorsed financial toxicity were more likely to report delaying care (39% vs 23%, p = 0.07) due to the inability to take time off work or afford general expenses. On general health related quality of life questionnaires patients with financial toxicity reported worse physical and mental health (p = 0.03 and <0.01, respectively), and lower cancer specific health related quality of life (p = 0.01), physical well-being (p = 0.01) and functional well-being (p = 0.05). Conclusions: Financial toxicity is a major concern among patients with bladder cancer. Younger patients were more likely to experience financial toxicity. Those who endorsed financial toxicity experienced delays in care and poorer health related quality of life, suggesting that treatment costs should have an important role in medical decision making.

description: A dieci anni dalla morte di Jacques Derrida, nel mezzo della più grave crisi economica e finanziaria della storia del capitalismo europeo, Trópos. Rivista di Ermeneutica e Critica Filosofica propone un numero di commemorazione attiva per provare a riflettere sul fatto economico attraverso la decostruzione. Derrida ha dedicato molte riflessioni interessanti a soggetti economici classici, quali la moneta, l’interesse, la speculazione; ha inoltre investigato temi che, pur essendo ai margini della disciplina determinata, rappresentano materia di interesse centrale per le scienze sociali, quali per esempio la relazione tra economia ristretta e generale. Non da ultimo, ha partecipato in maniera determinante al dibattito in merito alla galassia semantica e tematica del dono.
