Arquétipos femininos em adaptações fílmicas de O Primo Basílio

Mestrado em Línguas, Literaturas e CulturasCom a realização deste estudo pretendo relacionar o texto literário O Primo Basílio, de Eça de Queirós, e as duas transposições cinematográficas portuguesas realizadas por George Pallu, em 1923, e António Lopes Ribeiro, em 1959, propondo-me tratar os vários arquétipos femininos na obra e investigar a teia de afinidades e dissemelhanças entre a escrita queirosiana e o olhar distinto de dois realizadores. Procuro avaliar a relevância do texto original no processo de afirmação estética e artística das versões cinematográficas, e averiguar a existência de um magma de temáticas e motivos que, de certa forma, auxiliaram a delineação de caminhos de narratividade e de interpretação que entrecruzam o texto original e as suas transposições fílmicas.With this study I aim to relate the Eça de Queirós novel O Primo Basílio and the two portuguese film adaptations made by George Pallu, in 1923, and Antonio Lopes Ribeiro, in 1959, offering to treat the various female archetypes presented in the novel and investigate the web of similarities and differences between the writing of Eça de Queirós and the distinct look of the two directors. I seek to assess the relevance of the original text in the process of affirmation of the aesthetic and artistic film versions and verify the existence of a magma of themes and motifs that somehow helped the delineation of narrative paths that intersect and interpreting the original text and their filmic transpositions

A Percepção Da Morte No Regresso A Alceste

Este trabalho propõe uma análise sobre a obra Os Velhos Também Querem Viver (2014), de Gonçalo M. Tavares, a partir de Alceste, de Eurípides, aflorando o tema da morte nas suas várias configurações. Sem a pretensão de uma comparação circunscrita ao princípio da equivalência diegética, esta abordagem pretende descobrir também os aspetos de não correspondência, ou melhor, de independência da obra nova em relação à obra Alceste, de Eurípides

Revisão sistematizada da literatura e opinião de peritos

Objective: The 3E (Evidence, Expertise, Exchange) Initiative is a multinational effort of rheumatologists aimed at developing evidence-based recommendations addressing specific questions relevant to clinical practice. The objective of the Portuguese contribution for the 3E Initiative was to develop evidence-based recommendations on how to investigate, follow-up and treat undifferentiated peripheral inflammatory arthritis (UPIA) adapted to local reality and develop additional recommendations considered relevant in the national context. Methods: An international scientific committee from 17 countries selected a set of questions concerning the diagnosis and monitoring of UPIA using a Delphi procedure. Evidence-based answers to each question were sought by a systematic literature search, performed in Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Library and ACR/EULAR 2007-2009 meeting abstracts. Relevant articles were reviewed for quality assessment, data extraction and synthesis. In a national meeting, a panel of 63 Portuguese rheumatologists used the evidence which was gathered to develop recommendations, and filled the gaps in the evidence with their expert opinion. Finally, national recommendations were formulated and agreement among the participants was assessed. Results: A total of 54754 references were identified, of which 267 were systematically reviewed. Thirteen national key recommendations about the investigation, follow-up and treatment of UPIA were formulated. One recommendation addressed differential diagnosis and investigations prior to the established operational diagnosis of UPIA, eight recommendations were related to the diagnostic and prognostic value of clinical and laboratory assessments in established UPIA (history and physical examination, acute phase reactants, serologies, autoantibodies, radiographs, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound, genetic markers and synovial biopsy), one recommendation highlighted predictors of persistence (chronicity), one addressed monitoring of clinical disease activity in UPIA, one aimed to find an useful method/score to predict a definitive diagnosis and the last one was related to treatment. Conclusion: Portuguese evidence-based recommendations for the management of UPIA in everyday practice were developed. Their dissemination and implementation in daily clinical practice should help to improve practice uniformity and optimize the management of UPIA patients.publishersversionpublishe

Characterisation of microbial attack on archaeological bone

As part of an EU funded project to investigate the factors influencing bone preservation in the archaeological record, more than 250 bones from 41 archaeological sites in five countries spanning four climatic regions were studied for diagenetic alteration. Sites were selected to cover a range of environmental conditions and archaeological contexts. Microscopic and physical (mercury intrusion porosimetry) analyses of these bones revealed that the majority (68%) had suffered microbial attack. Furthermore, significant differences were found between animal and human bone in both the state of preservation and the type of microbial attack present. These differences in preservation might result from differences in early taphonomy of the bones. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

SARS-CoV-2 vaccination modelling for safe surgery to save lives: data from an international prospective cohort study

Background: Preoperative SARS-CoV-2 vaccination could support safer elective surgery. Vaccine numbers are limited so this study aimed to inform their prioritization by modelling. Methods: The primary outcome was the number needed to vaccinate (NNV) to prevent one COVID-19-related death in 1 year. NNVs were based on postoperative SARS-CoV-2 rates and mortality in an international cohort study (surgical patients), and community SARS-CoV-2 incidence and case fatality data (general population). NNV estimates were stratified by age (18-49, 50-69, 70 or more years) and type of surgery. Best- and worst-case scenarios were used to describe uncertainty. Results: NNVs were more favourable in surgical patients than the general population. The most favourable NNVs were in patients aged 70 years or more needing cancer surgery (351; best case 196, worst case 816) or non-cancer surgery (733; best case 407, worst case 1664). Both exceeded the NNV in the general population (1840; best case 1196, worst case 3066). NNVs for surgical patients remained favourable at a range of SARS-CoV-2 incidence rates in sensitivity analysis modelling. Globally, prioritizing preoperative vaccination of patients needing elective surgery ahead of the general population could prevent an additional 58 687 (best case 115 007, worst case 20 177) COVID-19-related deaths in 1 year. Conclusion: As global roll out of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination proceeds, patients needing elective surgery should be prioritized ahead of the general population
