La Leggenda agiografica della Madonna velata di Foggia

All’interno della Cattedrale/santuario di Foggia si venera l’Iconavetere, un’antica icona nascosta da sette veli che, secondo i racconti dell’inventio l’avrebbero avvolta sin dal suo ritrovamento nel sec. XI. Il restauro del 1980 ha indotto a sfrondare la leggenda agiografica di molti dei suoi elementi: l’icona, venerata in origine senza veli, dovette nel corso del sec. XVI subire un trauma che ne compromise l’esposizione pubblica. I devoti decisero di conservarla come una reliquia e di esporla alla pubblica venerazione coperta da molti veli. Soltanto in epoca postridentina e per ragioni campanilistiche, si sentì l’esigenza di narrare la leggenda del ritrovamento miracoloso dell’Iconavetere facendo ricorso a tutta una serie di topoi agiografici comuni alle leggende di fondazione di santuari. The hagiographic legend of Veiled Madonna of Foggia Inside the Cathedral-Sanctuary of Foggia the believers venerate the Iconavetere, an old icon hidden by seven veils that, according to the tales of the inventio, have been wrapping it since its finding during the 11th century. The restoration of 1980 induced to cut some elements of the hagiographic legend: the icon, venerated at the beginning without veils, suffered a trauma during the 16th century that prejudiced its public exhibition. The devotees decided to keep it like a relic and expose it to the public veneration covered by veils. Only after the Tridentine Council and for localism, the legend of the miraculous finding of Iconavetere was composed of many hagiographic topoi common to the legends of foundation of sanctuaries

Urbangrow, una propuesta sostenible para la mejora de cultivos

El Perú cuenta con una población urbana en constante crecimiento, por lo que la demanda de recursos se incrementa, sobre todo en el caso de la alimentación. Los principales problemas que genera esta demanda son la preferencia por métodos contaminantes, tales como el uso de combustibles fósiles en la agricultura y sistemas de regadío que dependen de petróleo, así como el uso de fertilizantes para mejorar el rendimiento de las tierras de cultivo disponibles. Por otro lado, la falta de áreas verdes en el Perú es un problema que incide directamente en la calidad de vida de los ciudadanos, al punto que tiene el más bajo indicador de acceso a áreas verdes en América del Sur. Urbangrow es una empresa sostenible y responsable con la sociedad, cuya principal actividad es la venta de una experiencia única de cultivo mediante un kit automatizado propio, que hace uso de la tecnología como sensores, luz ultravioleta, riego automático, entre otros; y ofrece al cliente la posibilidad de hacer el seguimiento de sus cultivos a través de un aplicativo. También beneficia a los agricultores, pues elimina el control excesivo y las tareas rutinarias, así como la incertidumbre por condiciones climáticas adversas, con lo que la productividad mejora considerablemente. El valor actual neto social (VANS) fue medido en base al beneficio brindado a la comunidad como consecuencia de la reducción de espacios para un cultivo eficiente y que repercuta en la no depredación de bosques y ecosistemas terrestres, así como la producción optimizada de alimentos para que las ciudades sean autosustentables, además el proyecto se alinea a los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible 8, 11, 12, 13 y 15 para cumplir los objetivos sociales. Finalmente, la solución ha validado las hipótesis de factibilidad y viabilidad planteadas, y los resultados financieros demuestran la sostenibilidad económica de la tesis con una inversión inicial de S/ 200,000, de los cuales el 25% correspondería a aportes propios de los socios y el 75% restante a financiamiento bancario. En ese escenario, se espera obtener un valor actual neto (VAN) de S/. 3’751,645 durante los primeros cinco años de proyección.Peru has an urban population in constant growth, which is why the demand for resources increases; mainly, in the case of nutrition. The main issues that this demand generates are the preference for polluting methods, such as the use of fossil fuels in agriculture and irrigation systems that depend on oil, as well as the use of fertilizers to improve the performance of the cultivation lands available. Additionally, the lack of grassland areas in Peru is an issue that impacts the quality of life of the citizens directly, to the point that it has the lowest indicator of access to grassland areas in South America. Urbangrow is a sustainable and responsible company with the society, whose main line of business is the sale of a unique cropping experience by means of the customer’s own automated kit, that uses technology such as sensors, ultraviolet light, automatic irrigation, among others; and it offers the customer the possibility of performing the follow-up of his cultivations through one application. It also benefits the farmers, because it eliminates the excessive monitoring and the daily tasks, as well as the uncertainty of climate adverse conditions, with which the productivity improves considerably. The social net present value (SNPV) was measured based on the benefit provided to the community as a result of the reduction of spaces for efficient cultivation and that has repercussions on the non-predation of forests and terrestrial ecosystems, as well as the optimized production of food so that cities are self-sustaining, in addition the project is aligned to Objectives 8, 11, 12, 13 and 15 of the Sustainable Development, thus complying with the social objectives. Finally, the solution has validated the hypotheses of feasibility and viability formulated, and the financial performances demonstrate the financial sustainability of the thesis with an initial investment of S/200,000, from which 25% would correspond to the direct contributions of the partners and the remaining 75% to bank financing. Under that scenario, it is expected to obtain a net present value (NPV) of S/. 3’751,645 during the first five years projected

"Delirium Day": A nationwide point prevalence study of delirium in older hospitalized patients using an easy standardized diagnostic tool

Background: To date, delirium prevalence in adult acute hospital populations has been estimated generally from pooled findings of single-center studies and/or among specific patient populations. Furthermore, the number of participants in these studies has not exceeded a few hundred. To overcome these limitations, we have determined, in a multicenter study, the prevalence of delirium over a single day among a large population of patients admitted to acute and rehabilitation hospital wards in Italy. Methods: This is a point prevalence study (called "Delirium Day") including 1867 older patients (aged 65 years or more) across 108 acute and 12 rehabilitation wards in Italian hospitals. Delirium was assessed on the same day in all patients using the 4AT, a validated and briefly administered tool which does not require training. We also collected data regarding motoric subtypes of delirium, functional and nutritional status, dementia, comorbidity, medications, feeding tubes, peripheral venous and urinary catheters, and physical restraints. Results: The mean sample age was 82.0 ± 7.5 years (58 % female). Overall, 429 patients (22.9 %) had delirium. Hypoactive was the commonest subtype (132/344 patients, 38.5 %), followed by mixed, hyperactive, and nonmotoric delirium. The prevalence was highest in Neurology (28.5 %) and Geriatrics (24.7 %), lowest in Rehabilitation (14.0 %), and intermediate in Orthopedic (20.6 %) and Internal Medicine wards (21.4 %). In a multivariable logistic regression, age (odds ratio [OR] 1.03, 95 % confidence interval [CI] 1.01-1.05), Activities of Daily Living dependence (OR 1.19, 95 % CI 1.12-1.27), dementia (OR 3.25, 95 % CI 2.41-4.38), malnutrition (OR 2.01, 95 % CI 1.29-3.14), and use of antipsychotics (OR 2.03, 95 % CI 1.45-2.82), feeding tubes (OR 2.51, 95 % CI 1.11-5.66), peripheral venous catheters (OR 1.41, 95 % CI 1.06-1.87), urinary catheters (OR 1.73, 95 % CI 1.30-2.29), and physical restraints (OR 1.84, 95 % CI 1.40-2.40) were associated with delirium. Admission to Neurology wards was also associated with delirium (OR 2.00, 95 % CI 1.29-3.14), while admission to other settings was not. Conclusions: Delirium occurred in more than one out of five patients in acute and rehabilitation hospital wards. Prevalence was highest in Neurology and lowest in Rehabilitation divisions. The "Delirium Day" project might become a useful method to assess delirium across hospital settings and a benchmarking platform for future surveys

Il παρακαλεῖν nei discorsi degli Atti degli Apostoli, tra esegesi midrashica e retorica ellenistica

I discorsi dell’opera lucana evidenziano come la primitiva predicazione cristiana facesse ampio ricorso ai procedimenti e alle tecniche esegetiche codificate nei testi rabbinici e in uso nella retorica ellenistica. Pur facendo ricorso alle tecniche dell’esegesi rabbinica, i discorsi degli Atti evidenziano con chiarezza che ciò che dà significato nuovo e inedito ai vari brani della Scrittura addotti come testimonianza nelle omelie cristiane è l’evento escatologico della resurrezione di Gesù (Act 2,24. 38-39; 13,33. 38). Ragion per cui l’espressione λόγος παρακλήσεως e il verbo παρεκάλει (Act 2,40), vanno intesi non come un generico incoraggiamento, ma come annuncio della salvezza messianica fondata nelle Scritture di Israele che hanno preparato quanto si è compiuto nella vita e nelle opere di quel Gesù resuscitato dai morti per sedere alla destra di Dio

Al santuario della Madonna Incoronata pellegrinaggio di fede o scampagnate gaudenti?

A motivo del passaggio a commenda dell'abbazia cistercense di Santa Maria dell'Incoronata, il santuario non più gestito da una stabile comunità religiosa rimane chiuso per gran parte dell'anno. Si apre soltanto dalla fine di aprile alla metà di giugno per la festa della Madonna, periodo in cui migliaia di pellegrini e di pastori transumanti vi accorrevano prima di iniziare il ritorno in Abruzzo. Il convenire di tanta folla era però occasione anche di gravi abusi, in particolare da parte dei foggiani per i quali il pellegrinaggio era occasione di scampagnate gaudenti, nonostante i tentativi dell'episcopato troiano di porvi rimedio

Pellegrine in Daunia

Il territorio dauno costellato di innumerevoli santuari, internazionali o semplicemente locali, ha attirato folle di pellegrini sin dalle epoche più remote. Il presente contributo si sofferma sull’origine e sul significato del pellegrinaggio femminile in genere e in particolare sulle pellegrine dirette al santuario micaelico, il più antico del territorio, e al santuario dell’Incoronata, o semplicemente in transito dirette o provenienti da santuari lontani dalla Daunia.The Dauno territory, dotted with countless sanctuaries, international or simply local, has attracted crowds of pilgrims since ancient times. This contribution focuses on the origin and meaning of women's pilgrimage in general and in particular on pilgrims going to the micaelico sanctuary, the oldest in the territory, to the sanctuary of the Incoronata, or simply in transit to or from sanctuaries far from Daunia. Finally, it examines an unusual practice related to the pilgrimage that, it seems, had as protagonists, mostly women
