La modernidad de los "Versos libres" de Jose Marti

The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the collection of poems Versos libres written by José Martí, as a cycle of literary expression closely connected with the origins and development of the modernist movement, as well as to the emergence of what has been later termed the modernism of Hispanic-American literature. ^ The poetics of Versos libres is based on the liberating function attributed to them by their author, who was determined to reach with this cycle a level of expression where literary modernism and radical Americanism would be fully integrated, in order to enrich the communicative capabilities of poetic language, making it penetrate deep and complex realities: Man's conscience, psyche and creative effort, nature and history. ^ This study of the Versos libres as a cycle, allows us to characterize the contribution of such a work to Hispanic-American poetry as a result of a literary praxis whose tone makes Versos libres a piece of work that, in its best-realized moments, surpasses the limits of the turn-of-the-century Hispanic-American poetry; thus laying a bridge towards modern poetry in the Spanish language. ^ The dissertation is based on the direct and complete transcription of Martí's own handwritings of the Versos libres, included in his Poesía completa. Edición Crítica (1985), edited by Cintio Vitier, Fina García Marruz and the present author. ^

?Sabra volar el mar? di Jose Corredor-Matheos. Proposta di traduzione di un libro di poesia illustrata per l'infanzia.

Il seguente elaborato presenta la proposta di traduzione verso l’italiano del libro di poesia per l’infanzia “¿Sabrá volar el mar?” (2010), dell’autore spagnolo José Corredor-Matheos, illustrato da Noemí Villamuza ed edito dalla casa editrice spagnola El Jinete Azul. “¿Sabrá volar el mar?” è composto da 25 poesie brevi ed è diviso in 4 sezioni, ognuna delle quali ha un titolo che suggerisce al lettore le tematiche affrontate nelle poesie seguenti. Le poesie raccolte in questo libro creano un complesso gioco di specchi e ci invitano a guardare ciò che ci circonda da un punto di vista diverso, a porci delle domande su quanto diamo per scontato e a vedere la vita come un assurdo e inutile mistero a cui abbandonarsi con gioia e spontaneità. Si tratta di un libro “atipico” ed eterogeneo, con componimenti che si rifanno a una ninna nanna, altri a un haiku giapponese e altri ancora alla tradizione classica occidentale. Una raccolta di poesie che possono essere apprezzate tanto dai bambini quanto dagli adulti, perché il linguaggio delle emozioni è comprensibile a tutte le età. Durante il processo di traduzione è stato necessario prestare particolare attenzione all’aspetto fonetico e ritmico, alla stretta interazione tra parole e immagini, alle metafore e alle scelte lessicali. Il lavoro è suddiviso in diverse sezioni: un’introduzione di riflessione sul lavoro del poeta e del traduttore, seguita dal motivo della scelta del libro; la presentazione del libro originale e del suo autore; la proposta di traduzione con relativo commento alle problematiche traduttive e alle diverse strategie impiegate; l’intervista realizzate all’editore Antonio Ventura; una scheda di presentazione editoriale; e infine una breve analisi del ruolo della letteratura e in particolare della poesia, sia per l’infanzia che per un pubblico adulto.

Dyslipidemia and blood lipid levels in patients tratied in primary care centers in east SAN JOSE

Dyslipidemia, i.e. high levels of blood lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides), is strongly related to cardiovascular disease (CVD). In order to reduce the risk of CVD at any moment in a person ́s life, it is crucial to know his/her –and the population’s– lipid profile. The aim of this study was to assess the (statistical) indicators of blood lipids and the prevalence of dyslipidemia in patients treated in the Integral Health Attention Program from Universidad de Costa Rica. A descriptive study was conducted including 10,044 patients aged 20 to 65 years, who were tested for a blood lipid profile in 2006. A total of 2,969 (29.6%) male and 7,075 (70.4%) female patients took part in the study, with an average age of 43.5 years. General averages for blood lipids were: 203.3 mg/dl for total cholesterol, 50.1 mg/dl for HDL, 120.1 mg/dl for LDL, and 165.6 mg/dl for triglycerides. Prevalence of 17.2% was determined for hypercholesterolemia (≥240 mg/dl), as well as 21.3% for low HDL levels (<40 mg/dl), 11.9% for high LDL levels (≥160 mg/dl), and 26.3% for high triglyceride levels (≥200 mg/dl). Women showed higher overall levels of dyslipidemia than men. Based on health areas, no significant differences were found in general lipid levels by age or sex. Results indicate that the general prevalence of dyslipidemia is close to half the rate reported in worldwide literature and lower than results reported in Costa Rican studies. However, general averages exceeded optimal levels for each blood lipid; consequently, it is important to develop health interventions oriented to reduce the impact of dyslipidemia in the studied population.
