USMENA KNJIŽEVNOST I \u27\u27PUČKA KNJIŽEVNOST\u27\u27 PREMA GENERIČKOM PRIKAZU SREDNJOVJEKOVNE ŠPANJOLSKE I OSTALIH NARATIVNIH TRADICIJA

Autor se bavi empirijski usmjerenim proučavanjima veza srednjovjekovne španjolske epike i drevnih usmenih tradicija. Polazi od južnoslavenskih folklornih materijala, prikaza usmenoga pjesništva u užem smislu (Parry·Lord) i od pojma pučke književnosti (M. Bosković·Stulli) kao mogućeg polazišta za izučavanje španjolske i ostalih zapadnoevropskih književnosti. Po autorovom modelu pučka književnost uključuje i tekstove stvorene uz pomoć pisanja i one nastale bez pomoći čina pisanja. Cilj je članka da izgradi probni generički sustav za narativno stvaralaštvo u stihu uopće, sustav koji bi bio podložan mijenjanju usporedo s novim spoznajama o poetikama raznih jezičnih tradicija

Cerebral Small Vessel Disease: Cognition, Mood, Daily Functioning, and Imaging Findings from a Small Pilot Sample

Cerebral small vessel disease, a leading cause of cognitive decline, is considered a relatively homogeneous disease process, and it can co-occur with Alzheimer's disease. Clinical reports of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/computed tomography and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging and neuropsychology testing for a small pilot sample of 14 patients are presented to illustrate disease characteristics through findings from structural and functional imaging and cognitive assessment. Participants showed some decreases in executive functioning, attention, processing speed, and memory retrieval, consistent with previous literature. An older subgroup showed lower age-corrected scores at a single time point compared to younger participants. Performance on a computer-administered cognitive measure showed a slight overall decline over a period of 8–28 months. For a case study with mild neuropsychology findings, the MRI report was normal while the SPECT report identified perfusion abnormalities. Future research can test whether advances in imaging analysis allow for identification of cerebral small vessel disease before changes are detected in cognition
