«El halcón de Federico» de Lope de Vega, una reinterpretación anticortés de «Decamerón», V, 9

El artículo estudia algunos aspectos problemáticos de la comedia El halcón de Federico (inspirada en Decamerón, V, 9), que aquí se aborda teniendo en cuenta su colocación en las postrimerías de la primera etapa lopesca. En particular, se conjetura que Lope pudo revisitar el cuento boccacciano a través de un filtro celestinesco, desacralizando a sus personajes y símbolos en clave anticortés. En las notas finales se presentan algunas observaciones sobre el motivo del chivo expiatorio y la visión del poder por parte del Fénix.This article examines some problematic aspects of the comedia El halcón de Federico (inspired by Decameron, V, 9), in the context of Lope's early theatre. In particular, the analysis suggests that Lope revisited Boccaccio's tale through a reading of La Celestina, demythologizing its characters and symbols in an anticourtly vein. The final notes deal with the presence of the scapegoat motif in relation to Lope's view of power

Amaya de Navarro Villoslada en el siglo XX: avatares de una narración antijudaica

En este artículo se analizan dos adaptaciones modernas de la novela histórica Amaya o los vascos en el siglo VIII (1877-1879) del escritor católico Francisco Navarro Villoslada, donde la pérdida de España en el año 711 es el resultado de un complot judaico. La película de Luis Marquina (1952) simplifica las implicaciones teológicas del complejo argumento de la novela, a favor de una brutal estigmatización del pueblo hebreo, favorecida probablemente por las tensas relaciones entre España e Israel a comienzos de los años 50. Al contrario, el cómic de Rafael Ramos, publicado en 1981, elimina casi por completo las referencias estructurales al tema de la conjura, del que quedan pocas alusiones descontextualizadas. Por último, se pone de relieve cómo dos libelos antisemitas, Los judíos a través de los siglos (1939) y Complot contra la Iglesia (1962), incorporan algunos elementos ficcionales de Amaya elevándolos a verdadeshistóricas.This paper analyses two modern adaptations of the historical novel Amaya o los vascos en el sigloVIII, published by the Catholic writer Francisco Navarro Villoslada between 1877 and 1879, in which the711 loss of Spain is the result of a Jewish conspiracy.

Using social robot NAO for emotional support to children at a paediatric emergency department: a randomised clinical trial

Background: Social robots have been used for improving anxiety in children in stressful clinical situations, as during painful procedures. No studies have been performed yet to assess their effect in children while waiting for emergency room consultations. Objective: To assess the impact of social robots in managing stress in children waiting for an emergency room procedure through the assessment of salivary cortisol levels. Methods: This was an open randomised clinical trial in children attending a paediatric emergency department. Children accessing the emergency room were randomised to one of three groups: 1) playing with a NAO social robot; 2) playing with a study nurse; 3) waiting with parents. All children were measured salivary cortisol levels through a swab. Salivary cortisol levels before and after the intervention were compared in the three groups. We calculated the effect size of our interventions through the Cohen's d-based effect size correlation (r). Results: A total of 109 children aged 3 to 10 years were enrolled in the study and 94 had complete data for the analyses. Salivary cortisol levels decreased significantly more in the group exposed to robot interaction than in the other two groups (r=0.75). Cortisol levels decreased more in girls (r=0.92) than boys (r=0.57). Conclusions: Social robots are efficacious in decreasing stress in children accessing the emergency room and may be considered as a tool for improving emotional perceptions of children and their families in such a critical setting.

A multidisciplinary dermatology-gastroenterology-rheumatology (DER.RE.GA) unit for the care of patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases: analysis of the first 5 years from the dermatologist’s perspective

Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) constitute a heterogenous group of chronic and highly disabling conditions. The clinical challenges they often pose led to formation of numerous dermo-rheumatological interdisciplinary units around the world, which are reported to benefit their patients in various ways. The present paper describes our experience with a multidisciplinary dermatology-rheumatology-gastroenterology unit DERREGA at the IRCCS Foundation Policlinico San Matteo of Pavia over a period of 5 years of its activity (2017–2022). A digital database was created, containing the medical records of 146 patients referred to the dermatology unit only by rheumatologists or gastroenterologists belonging to the multidisciplinary unit DERREGA. Then, aspects such as demographics, initial basis of referral and final diagnosis among the patients were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were classified as either gastroenterological or rheumatological, and then categorized according to the specific basis of referral. Most of the gastroenterological patients (97%) were affected by inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). Rheumatological patients were divided in three subgroups, including patients referred with vasculitis, arthropathies (undifferentiated arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and other arthritis) and other rheumatological diseases. Then, final diagnoses were evaluated in each group. Almost a third of IBD patients received a diagnosis of paradoxical psoriasis. Dermatological examination allowed diagnosis of minimal psoriasis based on Caspar criteria in over 70% of the patients admitted with undifferentiated arthritis. A multidisciplinary approach is suggested to provide more effective management of IMIDs and, specifically, from a dermatological perspective, allows for the diagnosis of minimal manifestations of psoriasis in patients with a provisional diagnosis of undifferentiated arthritis
