Amílcar Urbano Sosa : el enseñar deleitando en Antología de meñique

En el panorama de la literatura infantil y juvenil muy enriquecido en la Argentina en las dos últimas décadas con obras de autores de gran trayectoria, cabe destacar en nuestra provincia el aporte a la poesía para la infancia de Amílcar Urbano Sosa con Antología de Meñique (1963). Profundamente comprometido con su quehacer docente y con la tierra cuyana, este poeta olvidado de las antologías, de los diccionarios específicos y de los estudios académicos hace propio el docere delectans de la tradición clásica. Es por ello que en su libro, teniendo en cuenta el joven destinatario, canta a las primeras vivencias del niño en su encuentro con el mundo de los afectos y con el mundo circundante. En este recorrido por los paulatinos despertares - las estaciones, la casa, las fiestas patrias - acierta a seguirse preguntando por la significación del maestro que es, entre otras, “aprender lo que se ha dado por sabido [...] y alumbrarnos, siendo hombres/ de aquellas cosas que tuvimos al ser niños". En este trabajo, además de recordar los doce títulos que componen su obra especialmente poética, desde la publicación de La rosa y la abeja (1947) hasta Melesca y Canto del descubrimiento, ambas de 1996, nos interesa recuperar para la literatura argentina, mendocina en especial, a quien en su momento fuera galardonado con diferentes premios provinciales y estimado por la crítica como poeta auténtico de la vida y del terruño.

'Not Forsworn with Pink Ribbons': Hannah More, Thomas De Quincey, and the Literature of Power

De Quincey's conception of the literature of "power" as opposed to that of "knowledge," has proved to be one of the most influential of romantic theories of literature, playing no small part in the canonization of Wordsworth. De Quincey's early acquaintance with the Lyrical Ballads was made through the Evangelical circles of his mother, who was a follower of Hannah More and a member of the Clapham sect. In later years, however, De Quincey repudiated his early Evangelical upbringing and wrote quite scathingly of the literary pretensions of Hannah More. This paper attempts to uncover the revisionary nature of De Quincey's later reminiscences of More and to indicate thereby the covert influence of Evangelical thinking on his literary theorizing. Far from absolving literature of politics, however, colonialist and nationalist imperatives typical of Evangelical thinking may be seen to operate within the spiritualized and aesthetic sphere to which literary power is arrogated by De Quincey.

Cement-in-cement revision hip arthroplasty: an analysis of clinical and biomechanical literature

Introduction The number of revision hip arthroplasties is increasing but several aspects of this procedure could be improved. One method of reducing intra-operative complications is the cement-in-cement technique. This procedure entails cementing a smaller femoral prosthesis into the existing stable cement mantle. The aim of this systematic review is to provide a concise overview of the existing historical, operative, biomechanical and clinical literature on the cement-in-cement construct.

FASCIOLA-HEPATICA - TEGUMENTAL SURFACE CHANGES IN ADULT AND JUVENILE FLUKES FOLLOWING TREATMENT IN-VITRO WITH THE SULFOXIDE METABOLITE OF TRICLABENDAZOLE (FASINEX)

The effects of the novel benzimidazole, triclabendazole (Fasinex, Ciba-Geigy), in its active sulphoxide metabolite form (TCBZ-SX), on the tegumental surface of Fasciola hepatica has been examined in vitro. The tegument of adult flukes incubated in TCBZ-SX (50 mug/ml) appeared swollen and blebbed after only 6 h. In addition, progressive spine loss at the oral cone was evident following 12 h treatment. After 24 h, the tegumental syncytium and spines had completely sloughed away, leaving an exposed basal lamina and empty spine sockets. Juvenile flukes (3 weeks old) also demonstrated tegumental alterations after treatment with TCBZ-SX (20 mug/ml). The syncytium became extremely roughened and corrugated on both dorsal and ventral surfaces after only 3 h. Following 6- and 9-h incubations, there were many deep furrows, which were especially pronounced on the ventral surface, and by 18 h, the juvenile tegument was severely disrupted, especially on the ventral surface. In all cases, the effects were more marked than in the previous incubation periods. The results confirm the potent activity of triclabendazole against F. hepatica and suggest that the tegument of adult and juvenile flukes may be a target organ for this important fasciolicide.
