Da alleati vittoriosi ad acerrimi rivali: i processi di ri-allineamento dopo i conflitti egemonici. Teorie a confronto e studio di casi

Why some powers manage to coordinate their security efforts while others confront each other as rivals is still one of the most relevant and debated questions in the field of IR theory. The dissertation wants to give a contribution to this important debate. In particular, the main goal of the research is to analyse the dynamics of great power interactions after the end of hegemonic conflicts, that is to understand why, following the defeat of the common enemies, some of the winning allies continue to cooperate, while others begin to engage in political and military competition. In order to understand this difference, the study compares the explanatory value of two rival theoretical perspectives: neorealism, in its main version of the balance of power framework, and a liberal approach focused on domestic politics. The thesis is divided in two sections. In the first, I do summarize the main assumptions and predictions of the theories, from which I derive two different sets of hypotheses on the evolution of post-war great power relations. In the second part, I test the hypotheses by focusing on two cases of post-war alignment dynamics: 1) the relations among Austria, Prussia, Russia, Great Britain and France after the Napoleonic wars; 2) the relations among the US, the UK, France and Italy after the end of WWI. The historical cases disconfirm the logic of the balance of power and confirm the liberal hypotheses, seeing that the results of the analysis show changes in the domestic structures of the great powers had a much larger impact on the emergence of new alliances and rivalries than did the international distribution of power. In the conclusion of the dissertation, I provide the reader with a discussion of the main theoretical implications of the empirical findings.

El lenguaje de las cosas di María José Ferrada: parole, versi e immagini. 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 “El lenguaje de las cosas” (2011), dell’autrice cilena María José Ferrada, illustrato da Pep Carrió ed edito dalla casa editrice spagnola El Jinete Azul. “El lenguaje de las cosas” è composto da 24 brevi poesie in versi liberi, ognuna di esse dedicata a un diverso oggetto della casa: attraverso un linguaggio semplice e immediato e originali intrecci di metafore, l’autrice invita i lettori a guardare ciò che li circonda con occhi diversi, regalando loro qualche attimo di dolcezza e strappando sempre un sorriso. Tutti i componimenti sono accompagnati dalle raffinate illustrazioni di Pep Carrió e, pertanto, durante il processo di traduzione è stato necessario prestare particolare attenzione sia al livello del suono e del linguaggio poetico che alla stretta interazione tra parole e immagini. Il lavoro è suddiviso in diverse sezioni: una prima parte di presentazione del libro originale e della sua autrice; la proposta di traduzione con relativo commento alle problematiche traduttive e alle diverse strategie impiegate; le interviste realizzate all’editore Antonio Ventura e alla scrittrice María José Ferrada; e infine una breve analisi del ruolo della poesia nella letteratura per l’infanzia e delle prospettive editoriali della versione italiana del libro, accompagnata dalla rispettiva scheda di presentazione editoriale.

Proposta di traduzione delle sonorità nella poesia per bambini in Brasile nei testi di Sônia Barros, Cecília Meireles, José Paulo Paes e Ruy Proença

In questo elaborato, articolato in quattro sezioni principali, propongo la traduzione di poesie per l’infanzia scritte dagli autori brasiliani Sônia Barros, Cecília Meireles, José Paulo Paes e Ruy Proença, con attenzione particolare alla riproduzione delle sonorità originali. Nella prima sezione, presento un excursus riassuntivo della storia della letteratura brasiliana. Al fine di creare dei riferimenti cronologici e culturali per il lettore dell’elaborato, fornisco nozioni sulla nascita e lo sviluppo della letteratura in Brasile dalle origini fino ai giorni nostri, dando informazioni relative ad autori, opere e correnti letterarie e, quando necessario, citando avvenimenti storici particolarmente importanti. Accanto a questa contestualizzazione più generica, i paragrafi presentano approfondimenti sull’evoluzione che la letteratura dedicata all’infanzia ha avuto in Brasile attraverso i secoli. La seconda sezione si concentra sugli autori delle poesie tradotte, ovvero Sônia Barros, Cecília Meireles, José Paulo Paes e Ruy Proença. Per ognuno di essi riporto le notizie biografiche più importanti, le tappe della carriera letteraria, la linea di pensiero e di scrittura che li caratterizza maggiormente e i titoli delle loro opere più famose. Successivamente troviamo la sezione dedicata al lavoro di traduzione. Ognuna delle tredici poesie è presentata a fianco della propria traduzione, così da poter cogliere già a un primo sguardo le peculiarità che caratterizzano l’originale e versione italiana da me proposta. Infine, l’ultima sezione dell’elaborato riguarda il commento della traduzione. In questa parte motivo l’atteggiamento traduttivo tenuto nei confronti dei testi, cosciente delle peculiarità del genere poesia e in particolare di quella rivolta a un pubblico di giovanissimi. In seguito, analizzo dettagliatamente quali sono stati i problemi riscontrati durante il mio lavoro e le strategie che ho adottato per superarli.

Delivery room management of very low birth weight infants in Germany, Austria and Switzerland--a comparison of protocols

Surveys from the USA, Australia and Spain have shown significant inter-institutional variation in delivery room (DR) management of very low birth weight infants (VLBWI, <1500g) at birth, despite regularly updated international guidelines.

Current state of evidence on 'off-label' therapeutic options for systemic lupus erythematosus, including biological immunosuppressive agents, in Germany, Austria and Switzerland--a consensus report

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can be a severe and potentially life-threatening disease that often represents a therapeutic challenge because of its heterogeneous organ manifestations. Only glucocorticoids, chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, azathioprine, cyclophosphamide and very recently belimumab have been approved for SLE therapy in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Dependence on glucocorticoids and resistance to the approved therapeutic agents, as well as substantial toxicity, are frequent. Therefore, treatment considerations will include 'off-label' use of medication approved for other indications. In this consensus approach, an effort has been undertaken to delineate the limits of the current evidence on therapeutic options for SLE organ disease, and to agree on common practice. This has been based on the best available evidence obtained by a rigorous literature review and the authors' own experience with available drugs derived under very similar health care conditions. Preparation of this consensus document included an initial meeting to agree upon the core agenda, a systematic literature review with subsequent formulation of a consensus and determination of the evidence level followed by collecting the level of agreement from the panel members. In addition to overarching principles, the panel have focused on the treatment of major SLE organ manifestations (lupus nephritis, arthritis, lung disease, neuropsychiatric and haematological manifestations, antiphospholipid syndrome and serositis). This consensus report is intended to support clinicians involved in the care of patients with difficult courses of SLE not responding to standard therapies by providing up-to-date information on the best available evidence.

A Targeted Survey for Scrapie in Jos Plateau State, Nigeria

Scrapie, a disease of sheep and goats with a progressive course and fatal outcome, has not been identified in Nigeria. Anecdotal scrapie reports by livestock workers abound. Livestock diseases like scrapie form huddles in livestock economics of countries. For 8 months we surveyed for scrapie targeting emergency/casualty slaughter sheep and goats in Jos, Nigeria. We clinically examined 510 sheep and 608 goats of local breeds, aged from 12 months to 5 years. In total 31 (5.10%) goats and no sheep were clinically suspicious for scrapie. Caudal brainstem tissues of suspect animals collected postmortem were analyzed for the disease specific form of the prion protein, PrPSc, using Bio-Rad’s TeSeE ELISA rapid test kit. No sample was positive for scrapie. Fluorescent antibody test for rabies and H&E staining on samples were carried out for differential diagnosis. These showed no pathological lesions indicative for neurological disease. While our findings do not exclude the presence of scrapie in Jos, we demonstrate that targeted sampling of small ruminants for neuroinfectious disease is feasible in developing countries, pointing to the possibility of implementing such a monitoring scheme in Nigeria to prevent economic losses in small ruminant livestock as scrapie caveats from endemic countries have shown.

Management of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH): algorithm of the interdisciplinary D-A-CH consensus group PPH (Germany – Austria – Switzerland)

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is one of the main causes of maternal deaths even in industrialized countries. It represents an emergency situation which necessitates a rapid decision and in particular an exact diagnosis and root cause analysis in order to initiate the correct therapeutic measures in an interdisciplinary cooperation. In addition to established guidelines, the benefits of standardized therapy algorithms have been demonstrated. A therapy algorithm for the obstetric emergency of postpartum hemorrhage in the German language is not yet available. The establishment of an international (Germany, Austria and Switzerland D-A-CH) "treatment algorithm for postpartum hemorrhage" was an interdisciplinary project based on the guidelines of the corresponding specialist societies (anesthesia and intensive care medicine and obstetrics) in the three countries as well as comparable international algorithms for therapy of PPH.The obstetrics and anesthesiology personnel must possess sufficient expertise for emergency situations despite lower case numbers. The rarity of occurrence for individual patients and the life-threatening situation necessitate a structured approach according to predetermined treatment algorithms. This can then be carried out according to the established algorithm. Furthermore, this algorithm presents the opportunity to train for emergency situations in an interdisciplinary team.

Narcolepsy-Associated HLA Class I Alleles Implicate Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity

OBJECTIVE Narcolepsy with cataplexy is tightly associated with the HLA class II allele DQB1*06:02. Evidence indicates a complex contribution of HLA class II genes to narcolepsy susceptibility with a recent independent association with HLA-DPB1. The cause of narcolepsy is supposed be an autoimmune attack against hypocretin-producing neurons. Despite the strong association with HLA class II, there is no evidence for CD4+ T-cell-mediated mechanism in narcolepsy. Since neurons express class I and not class II molecules, the final effector immune cells involved might include class I-restricted CD8+ T-cells. DESIGN HLA class I (A, B, and C) and II (DQB1) genotypes were analyzed in 944 European narcolepsy with cataplexy patients and in 4043 control subjects matched by country of origin. All patients and controls were DQB1*06:02 positive and class I associations were conditioned on DQB1 alleles. RESULTS HLA-A*11:01 (OR = 1.49 [1.18-1.87] P = 7.0*10-4), C*04:01 (OR = 1.34 [1.10-1.63] P = 3.23*10-3), and B*35:01 (OR=1.46 [1.13-1.89] P = 3.64*10-3) were associated with susceptibility to narcolepsy. Analysis of polymorphic class I amino-acids revealed even stronger associations with key antigen-binding residues HLA-A-Tyr9 (OR = 1.32 [1.15-1.52] P = 6.95*10-5) and HLA-C-Ser11 (OR=1.34 [1.15-1.57] P = 2.43*10-4). CONCLUSIONS Our findings provide a genetic basis for increased susceptibility to infectious factors or an immune cytotoxic mechanism in narcolepsy, potentially targeting hypocretin neurons.

Printed Narrative: The Festival Books for Archduke Ernest of Austria from Brussels and Antwerp 1594

Workshop „The Narrative in Eastern and Western Art“, Graduate School of Letters, Kyoto, 2-5 December 2013 Abstract by Ivo Raband, University of Berne Printed Narrative: The Festival Books for Ernest of Austria from Brussels and Antwerp 1594 During the early modern period the medium of the festival book became increasingly more important as an object of ‘political narration’ throughout Europe. Focusing on Netherlandish examples from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, my talk will focus on the festival books printed for the Joyous Entries of Archduke Ernest of Austria (1553–1595). Ernest was appointed Governor General of the Netherlands by King Philipp II in 1593, being the first Habsburg Prince to reside in Brussels since 30 years. In Brussels and Antwerp, the Archduke was greeted with the traditional Blijde Imkomst, Joyous Entry, which dates back to the fourteenth century and was a necessity to actually become the sovereign of Brabant and Antwerp and to uphold the privileges of the cities. Decorated with ephemeral triumphal arches, stages, and tableaux vivants, both cities welcomed Ernest and, at the same time, demonstrated their civic self-assurance and negotiated their statuses. In honor of these events of civic power, the city magistrates commissioned festival books. These books combine a Latin text with a description of the events and the ephemeral structures, including circa 30 engravings and etchings. Being the only visual manifestation of the Joyous Entries, the books became important representational objects. The prints featured in festival books will be my point of departure for discussing the importance of narrative political prints and the concept of the early modern festival book as a ‘political object’. By comparing the prints from Ernest’s entries with others from the period between 1549 and 1635, I will show how the prints became as important as the event itself. Thus, I want to pose the question of whether it would have been possible to substitute a printed version of the event for the actual ceremony.
