Café para el gusto exigente. Publicidad y consumo de café en Costa Rica 1900-1930

ResumenEl objetivo de este ensayo es analizar los anuncios publicitarios que se publican en los periódicos que circulan en Costa Rica entre 1900 y 1930 ofreciendo café tostado y molido o invitando a consumir café en sitios públicos. Este es uno de los múltiples factores que estimula el aumento del consumo interno de café en Costa Rica. Estudiando el formato y el discurso que aportan los anuncios, es posible aproximarse al impacto que tienen sobre la población consumidora. El fin es entonces estudiar uno de los elementos que inciden en el aumento del consumo de café en Costa RicaAbstractThe propose of this article is to analyze the advertisements that are published in the newspapers in Costa Rica between 1900 and 1930 offering coffee toasted and ground or inviting to consume coffee in public sites. The advertisements are some of the multiple factors that increase the internal consumption of coffee in Costa Rica. Studying the format and the speech that contributes the announcements, it is possible to come near to the impact that they have on the consuming population. The aim is then to study one of the elements that affect the increase of the consumption of coffee in Costa Rica

Crítica del libro. “Héroes al gusto y libros de moda”

Introducción"Heroes al gusto y libros de moda", un título que evoca en quien lo lee, viejas preguntas a la documentación consultada en archivos y bibliotecas nacionales y por que no, guardando las distancias a Jean Louis Flandrin, cuando en su artículo "Historia de la alimentación: Por una apliación de las perspectivas", decía: "Al observar las obras maestras de la pintura y de la escultura, o al escuchar la música antigua, el especialista siente un placer artístico, Lo mismo sucede al historiador de la cocina que al cocinar con recetas antiguas puede descubrir fórmulas culinarias que deleitarían nuestro gusto actual. Aquel pescado en gelatina o aquella pasta de manzana preparada según las recetas italianas del siglo XIV o aquel sorbete al cilantro del siglo XVII me han llegado a entusiasmar tanto como gastrónomo, como el descubrimiento de de Boticelli olvidado en el sótano de una tienda de antigüedades entusiasmaría a un aficionado a la pintura."...

Il piacere dell'annientamento. Pavese, Leucò e il mito classico

Oggetto della tesi sono i Dialoghi con Leucò, ventisette dialoghi tra dèi ed eroi del mito antico, pubblicati da Cesare Pavese nel 1947. Muovendo dai molteplici studi che negli ultimi anni si sono interessati alla raccolta e al suo rapporto col mondo classico, riconducibili nell’alveo più ampio dell’ interesse verso la dimensione intertestuale dell’opera pavesiana e in quello ancor più generale delle riscritture del mito classico all’interno della letteratura italiana, il presente lavoro intende colmare una lacuna: nonostante gli indubbi passi avanti compiuti nell’interpretazione dei Dialoghi, il panorama critico è tuttora mancante di un’analisi complessiva di tutte le tessere della raccolta, cioè uno studio che si mostri capace di integrare i risultati raggiunti sino a oggi in una cornice sistemica che includa e consideri tutti i componimenti – obiettivo specifico del lavoro qui sviluppato. L’analisi, dal taglio spiccatamente comparativo, si snoda sul duplice binario della sincronia e della diacronia: da un lato vengono chiarite le strategie di adattamento e riscrittura dell’antico, mentre, dall’altro, l’indagine è arricchita dal raffronto con altre riscritture mitiche, letterarie e non solo, nella convinzione che solo da un’analisi globale dell’opera se ne possa produrre una nuova interpretazione e che questa non possa prescindere dal confronto e dalla contaminazione con tendenze, motivi ed emersioni mitiche successive, anche non immediatamente riconducibili a Pavese.

Effetti dell'impiego di chitosano in fase spumantizzazione metodo classico

Da alcuni anni in ambiente enologico si conducono studi volti ad individuare prodotti tecnologici o tecnologie in grado di sostituire o diminuire l’impiego dell’anidride solforosa nei processi di vinificazione. . Quest’ultima. infatti, è ormai da tempo considerata tra gli additivi che maggiormente impattano sulle caratteristiche di sicurezza d’uso dei prodotti enologici, possedendo conclamati rilievi di allergenicità e tossicità di tipo acuto e cronico. Il chitosano è un polisaccaride recentemente autorizzato in enologia che ha dimostrato alcune interessanti attività, utili per la definizione di protocolli di vinificazione a ridotto utilizzo di anidride solforosa. L’obbiettivo di questa tesi è quello di studiare il comportamento del chitosano nell’ambito del processo di produzione di vini spumanti prodotti secondo il metodo classico. Allo scopo, il polisaccaride è stato aggiunto in fase di presa di spuma e l’effetto della sua presenza è stato valutato nei mesi successivi, fino alla sboccatura, effettuata a 5 mesi dall’inizio della fermentazione secondaria. Sulle tre tesi approntate (una con nessuna aggiunta, una con chitosano e una con acido malico e chitosano) sono state condotte analisi della componente fissa e volatile dei prodotti ottenuti. I risultati hanno dimostrato come i vini rifermentati con chitosano possano presentare interessanti caratteristiche chimico-sensoriali e come l’impiego di questo coadiuvante sia meritevole di ulteriori approfondimenti, destinati a meglio definire le modalità di utilizzo per la produzione di vini spumanti in assenza di anidride solforosa aggiunta.

Translating into democracy e il classico femminista our bodies, ourselves: proposta di traduzione e considerazioni sui flussi traduttivi

Il presente studio mira all’esposizione della proposta di traduzione di due capitoli tratti dal saggio “Translating into Democracy” di Anna Bogic, inserito all’interno del volume “Translating Women. Different Voices and New Horizons” editato da Luise von Flotow e Farzaneh Farahzad. I capitoli in esame si intitolano rispettivamente “Our Bodies, Ourselves in the United States” e “The Politics of Translation and the ‘Other’ Europe”. Attraverso la presentazione del testo tradotto, l’elaborato riflette sul percorso editoriale di Our Bodies, Ourselves, opera di fondamentale rilevanza nata nel corso della seconda ondata femminista. Successivamente all’analisi dei contenuti del libro, il discorso fa luce sulle dinamiche di diffusione del sapere attraverso i flussi traduttivi adottando l’ottica dello schema “centro-periferia” teorizzato da Immanuel Wallerstein. Inoltre, l’elaborato propone un’analisi del testo di partenza attraverso il metodo funzionale, identificando le principali componenti che costituiscono la comunicazione testuale: il genere testuale, il mittente, lo stile linguistico e lo skopos. Successivamente, il discorso analitico individua i diversi generi di problemi traduttivi, distinguendoli in problemi pragmatici, problemi legati alle convenzioni e problemi linguistici, che vengono esplicati attraverso l’esposizione di esempi tratti direttamente dal testo originale e dalla sua versione tradotta. Infine, l’elaborato riflette sull’impatto socioculturale di “Our Bodies, Ourselves” ed evidenzia l’importanza del coordinamento femminista internazionale alla base dell’intero flusso traduttivo che ha interessato l’opera.

Effect Of Simulated Microwave Disinfection On The Linear Dimensional Change, Hardness And Impact Strength Of Acrylic Resins Processed By Different Polymerizing Cycles.

This study investigated the effect of simulated microwave disinfection (SMD) on the linear dimensional changes, hardness and impact strength of acrylic resins under different polymerization cycles. Metal dies with referential points were embedded in flasks with dental stone. Samples of Classico and Vipi acrylic resins were made following the manufacturers' recommendations. The assessed polymerization cycles were: A-- water bath at 74ºC for 9 h; B-- water bath at 74ºC for 8 h and temperature increased to 100ºC for 1 h; C-- water bath at 74ºC for 2 h and temperature increased to 100ºC for 1 h;; and D-- water bath at 120ºC and pressure of 60 pounds. Linear dimensional distances in length and width were measured after SMD and water storage at 37ºC for 7 and 30 days using an optical microscope. SMD was carried out with the samples immersed in 150 mL of water in an oven (650 W for 3 min). A load of 25 gf for 10 sec was used in the hardness test. Charpy impact test was performed with 40 kpcm. Data were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey's test (5%). The Classico resin was dimensionally steady in length in the A and D cycles for all periods, while the Vipi resin was steady in the A, B and C cycles for all periods. The Classico resin was dimensionally steady in width in the C and D cycles for all periods, and the Vipi resin was steady in all cycles and periods. The hardness values for Classico resin were steady in all cycles and periods, while the Vipi resin was steady only in the C cycle for all periods. Impact strength values for Classico resin were steady in the A, C and D cycles for all periods, while Vipi resin was steady in all cycles and periods. SMD promoted different effects on the linear dimensional changes, hardness and impact strength of acrylic resins submitted to different polymerization cycles when after SMD and water storage were considered.

Study of the surface hardness and modulus of elasticity of conventional and microwave-cured acrylic resins

The aim of this study was to evaluate the following acrylic resins: Clássico®, QC-20® and Lucitone®, recommended specifically for thermal polymerization, and Acron MC® and VIPI-WAVE®, made for polymerization by microwave energy. The resins were evaluated regarding their surface nanohardness and modulus of elasticity, while varying the polymerization time recommended by the manufacturer. They were also compared as to the presence of water absorbed by the samples. The technique used was nanoindentation, using the Nano Indenter XP®, MTS. According to an intra-group analysis, when using the polymerization time recommended by the manufacturer, a variation of 0.14 to 0.23 GPa for nanohardness and 2.61 to 3.73 GPa for modulus of elasticity was observed for the thermally polymerized resins. The variation for the resins made for polymerization by microwave energy was 0.15 to 0.22 GPa for nanohardness and 2.94 to 3.73 GPa for modulus of elasticity. The conclusion was that the Classico® resin presented higher nanohardness and higher modulus of elasticity values when compared to those of the same group, while Acron MC® presented the highest values for the same characteristics when compared to those of the same group. The water absorption evaluation showed that all the thermal polymerization resins, except for Lucitone®, presented significant nanohardness differences when submitted to dehydration or rehydration, while only Acron MC® presented no significant differences when submitted to a double polymerization time. Regarding the modulus of elasticity, it was observed that all the tested materials and products, except for Lucitone®, showed a significant increase in modulus of elasticity when submitted to a lack of hydration.

The Thrombin Receptor Antagonist for Clinical Event Reduction in Acute Coronary Syndrome (TRA.CER) trial: study design and rationale

Background The protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR-1), the main platelet receptor for thrombin, represents a novel target for treatment of arterial thrombosis, and SCH 530348 is an orally active, selective, competitive PAR-1 antagonist. We designed TRA.CER to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SCH 530348 compared with placebo in addition to standard of care in patients with non-ST-segment elevation (NSTE) acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and high-risk features. Trial design TRA.CER is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, phase III trial with an original estimated sample size of 10,000 subjects. Our primary objective is to demonstrate that SCH 530348 in addition to standard of care will reduce the incidence of the composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, recurrent ischemia with rehospitalization, and urgent coronary revascularization compared with standard of care alone. Our key secondary objective is to determine whether SCH 530348 will reduce the composite of cardiovascular death, MI, or stroke compared with standard of care alone. Secondary objectives related to safety are the composite of moderate and severe GUSTO bleeding and clinically significant TIMI bleeding. The trial will continue until a predetermined minimum number of centrally adjudicated primary and key secondary end point events have occurred and all subjects have participated in the study for at least I year. The TRA.CER trial is part of the large phase III SCH 530348 development program that includes a concomitant evaluation in secondary prevention. Conclusion TRA.CER will define efficacy and safety of the novel platelet PAR-1 inhibitor SCH 530348 in the treatment of high-risk patients with NSTE ACS in the setting of current treatment strategies.

Satisfacción con el empleo de extensionista rural: un estudio cualitativo en Caldas, Colombia

Como aporte al posicionamiento de la extensión rural como objeto multidimensional de estudio, se analizan las valoraciones realizadas por extensionistas rurales acerca de situaciones inherentes a su experiencia cotidiana de trabajo, seguido de la identificación de factores de satisfacción/insatisfacción laboral. En consonancia con la esencia cualitativa del estudio, la información se generó a partir de entrevistas semiestructuradas a 23 extensionistas rurales adscritos las Unidades Municipales de Asistencia Técnica (UMATA) de cinco municipios del departamento de Caldas, Colombia. El análisis de discurso permitió identificar ocho factores: a) gusto por la profesión ejercida, b) posibilidades de proyección social, c) alcance y visualización de logros, d) reconocimiento público, e) posibilidades de ascenso, f) posibilidades de aprendizaje continuo, g) autonomía, y h) estabilidad laboral. Se concluye que desconocer el estado emocional de los extensionistas hacia el trabajo produce el riesgo de crear o conservar escenarios que limiten el compromiso con la labor social realizada y el mantenimiento de la vocación extensionista.
