Representing Somali Resettlement In Italy: The Writing Of Ubax Cristina Ali Farah And Igiaba Scego
In Italia durante gli ultimi cinque anni diversi scrittori italosomali hanno pubblicato le loro opere. Molti di questi testi complicano le nozioni prevalenti dell’identità italiana e la chiusura nei confronti dell’immigrazione in Italia, evidenti nella questione della cittadinanza. Con la prospettiva di aumentare la conoscenza delle condizioni precarie dei rifugiati somali in Italia e di destabilizzare l’idea di un’identità italiana singolare e culturalmente omogenea, questo articolo prende in considerazione la scrittura di Ubax Cristina Ali Farah e Igiaba Scego, che appartengono alla nuova generazione di ‘scrittori migranti’ in Italia. Insieme alle opere di altri scrittori migranti che vivono in Italia, la produzione letteraria di queste autrici apre spazi in cui i lettori possono riflettere sulla dinamica interattiva fra culture, storie e lingue piuttosto che vedere queste entità in modo fisso ed esclusivo
Fra tradizione e sperimentazione: tecniche narrative nei racconti di Paola Capriolo
Contemporary novelists have responded in different ways to the challenge of living and writing in the latter half of the twentieth century, a historical moment in which the paper and ink with which they have traditionally worked have begun dissolving into the electronic hyperspaces of the post-print era. This article considers the relationship between narrative and technology byexamining hybrid narrations by contemporary Italian women writers that do not fit into conventional genre and media categories
TThe ENCCA-WP7/EuroSarc/EEC/PROVABES/EURAMOS 3rd European Bone Sarcoma Networking Meeting/Joint Workshop of EU Bone Sarcoma Translational Research Networks; Vienna, Austria, September 24–25, 2015. Workshop Report
This report summarizes the results of the 3rd Joint ENCCA-WP7, EuroSarc, EEC, PROVABES, and EURAMOS European Bone Sarcoma Network Meeting, which was held at the Children's Cancer Research Institute in Vienna, Austria on September 24-25, 2015. The joint bone sarcoma network meetings bring together European bone sarcoma researchers to present and discuss current knowledge on bone sarcoma biology, genetics, immunology, as well as results from preclinical investigations and clinical trials, to generate novel hypotheses for collaborative biological and clinical investigations. The ultimate goal is to further improve therapy and outcome in patients with bone sarcomas
A population-scale temporal case–control evaluation of COVID-19 disease phenotype and related outcome rates in patients with cancer in England (UKCCP)
Patients with cancer are at increased risk of hospitalisation and mortality following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. However, the SARS-CoV-2 phenotype evolution in patients with cancer since 2020 has not previously been described. We therefore evaluated SARS-CoV-2 on a UK populationscale from 01/11/2020-31/08/2022, assessing case-outcome rates of hospital assessment(s), intensive care admission and mortality. We observed that the SARS-CoV-2 disease phenotype has become less severe in patients with cancer and the non-cancer population. Case-hospitalisation rates for patients with cancer dropped from 30.58% in early 2021 to 7.45% in 2022 while case-mortality rates decreased from 20.53% to 3.25%. However, the risk of hospitalisation and mortality remains 2.10x and 2.54x higher in patients with cancer, respectively. Overall, the SARS-CoV-2 disease phenotype is less severe in 2022 compared to 2020 but patients with cancer remain at higher risk than the non-cancer population. Patients with cancer must therefore be empowered to live more normal lives, to see loved ones and families, while also being safeguarded with expanded measures to reduce the risk of transmission
