Влияниe Вальтера Скотта на историческую прозу А.С. Пушкина: „Роб Рой” и „Капитанская дочка”

This article analyses the influence of Sir Walter Scott’s historical fiction (Rob Roy) on the development of the historical novel in Russia in the first half of the 19th century, based on the example of Pushkin’s The Captain’s Daughter. The author argues that both Scott and Pushkin had a similar approach to their national and local history and collected historical material in the same way (through archival research and by contacting local people who had witnessed the events of the Jacobite Rebellion, 1715, and the Pugachev Rebellion, 1773–1775). A close analysis of both texts presents examples of a similar poetics of the narration, dialectal use of language and dialogue, and the use of local colour and folk elements, such as folk songs or old sayings, which serve as mottos for particular chapters in the novels.This article analyses the influence of Sir Walter Scott’s historical fiction (Rob Roy) on the development of the historical novel in Russia in the first half of the 19th century, based on the example of Pushkin’s The Captain’s Daughter.

La Tonadilla a Barcelona al voltant dels anys 1780: el segon període de Jacinto Valledor

Al llarg del segle XVIII es va anar consolidant, entre el públic de la Casa de Comèdies de Barcelona, el gust pels espectacles liricoescènics. Tot i que coneixem bé el cas de l'òpera, falten estudis sobre altres gèneres. En aquest sentit, és especialment rellevant el cas de la tonadilla, sobretot al voltant del compositor madrileny Jacinto Valledor, primer músic de la companyia de còmics espanyols del Teatre de Barcelona en un període irregular en- tre 1773 o 1774 i 1785. Valledor va protagonitzar un estrany període d'auge del gènere a la Ciutat Comtal als anys 1773-1775, però els testimonis posteriors demostren que el gènere continuà vigent i amb forta empenta. L'objectiu del present article és, doncs, intentar conèixer com fou el conreu de la tonadilla a la Casa de Comèdies de Barcelona durant aquest període a partir de les dades de què disposem, al voltant, directament o indirecta, del compositor Jacinto Valledor.The taste for lyric drama among audiences at the Casa de Comèdies (Comedy Play House) in Barcelona gradually became established during the 18th century. While much is known about opera, very few studies have been conducted on other genres. In this respect, the tonadilla is especially significant. This genre is a kind of satirical musical comedy, for which the Madrid-born composer Jacinto Valledor was particularly renowned. He was the first musician of the Teatre de Barcelonas company of Spanish actors at an irregular time between 1773 or 1774 and 1785. Valledor was the star of an odd period when the genre peaked in Barcelona (1773-1775), though subsequent evidence shows that the genre continued to remain current and strong. The aim of this article is, therefore, to try and establish what the tonadilla culture at Barcelonas Casa de Comèdies was like in that period based on the data we have available, whether directly or indirectly related to Jacinto Valledor

Adverse Selection in the Irish Tontines of 1773, 1775 and 1777

A tontine is a special kind of annuity in which all participants contribute equally to a subscription pool, and a fixed percent of the total capital raised is distributed equally among surviving nominees every year. In this paper, we examine the adverse selection in the Irish tontines of 1773, 1775 and 1777 because of the presence of a group of speculative investors, namely a group of Genevan bankers. These Genevan investors purportedly cherry picked nominees with greater expected longevity. Their existence allows us to study a rather unconventional aspect of adverse selection, which arises from the informational asymmetry among different types of buyers. Using a newly compiled data set on the nominees and their subsequent mortality, we estimate that these Genevan investors earned on average 8.5% more per share than the other subscribers of the Irish tontines. The result suggests that speculative investors with access to superior information may earn higher returns at the expense of average investors, a phenomenon implicit but difficult to quantify in other insurance markets

Combined NMDA Inhibitor Use in a Patient With Multisubstance-induced Psychotic Disorder

This document is an Accepted Manuscript reprinted from Journal of Addiction Medicine, Vol. 12 (3): 247-251, May 2018, with permission of Kluwer Law International. Under embargo until 1 May 2019. The Version of Record is available online at DOI: https://doi.org/10.1097/ADM.0000000000000390: Novel psychoactive substance use is a major social concern. Their use may elicit or uncover unpredictably as yet undescribed clinical pictures. We aimed to illustrate a multisubstance use case indistinguishable from paranoid schizophrenia, so to alert clinicians on possibly misdiagnosing substance-induced psychotic disorders. CASE REPORT: We describe a case of a 32-year-old man who started at 18 years with cannabinoids and ketamine, and is currently using N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonists. At age 23, he developed social withdrawal after being assaulted by a stranger, but did not consult psychiatrists until age 26; during this period, he was using internet-purchased methoxetamine and ketamine, and was persecutory, irritable, suspicious, and insomniac and discontinued all received medical prescriptions. He added dextromethorphan to his list of used substances. At age 31, while using phencyclidine, and, for the first time, methoxphenidine, he developed a religious delusion, involving God calling him to reach Him, and the near-death experiences ensured by NMDA antagonists backed his purpose. He received Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition diagnosis of multisubstance-induced psychotic disorder and was hospitalized 8 times, 6 of which after visiting the emergency room due to the development of extreme anguish, verbal and physical aggression, and paranoia. He reportedly used methoxphenidine, methoxyphencyclidine, ethylnorketamine, norketamine, and deschlorketamine, to achieve near-death experiences, and eventually to reach God in heavens. CONCLUSIONS: This case points to the need for better control of drugs sold on the internet. It also illustrates that people using NMDA antagonists may present clinical pictures indistinguishable from those of major psychoses and are likely to be misdiagnosed.Peer reviewe

Relationship Between Self-differentiation in Bowen's family Therapy and Psychological Health

AbstractFamily is a multi-dimensional structure that has particular intricacies in its internal relationships which should be taken into account in the family studies. Differentiation is one of these intricacies that Bowen has established his Family Therapy Theory upon it. This study is aimed to consider the relationship between self-differentiation and psychological health. This study is a correlation study and the statistical population includes the clients of counseling centers of Tabriz city. To collect data, we used Differentiation of Self Inventory-2 (DSI-2) and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) as instruments. Step by step Multiple Regression was used to analyze data. The findings indicates that there is a significantly positive relationship between self - differentiation and psychological health (P<0/001). Regarding to the findings, it could be concluded that those who apply appropriate Self-differentiation in their lives, they would have less psychological vulnerability comparing to the ones who lack Self-differentiation
