Nutritional Support after Gastrointestinal Surgery
This volume provides readers with the necessary information to select the most appropriate nutritional support following gastrointestinal tract surgery. Most patients are worried about resuming oral intake, particularly when the surgery has altered the GI tract normal physiology removing organs (e.g. total colectomy) or part of them, or modifying the natural sequence of the different GI tract parts (e.g. after esophagectomy or pancreatectomy). Patients may also worry about the possible complications of an inappropriate alimentation. As a matter of fact, several metabolic processes can be modified by GI tract surgery (e.g. major liver resection or pancreatectomy), thus making the nutritional ...
Amoy
Mio figlio Stefano era morto da due anni e ancora non riuscivo a rendermene conto. Conducevo la mia nuova vita senza entusiasmo e con tanta apatia. Lavoravo molto da Pasqua a settembre svolgendo due lavori al giorno. Ero molto efficiente e tutti erano contenti di me, ma mi sentivo senz’anima. Durante l’inverno finalmente mi chiudevo in casa e non vedevo nessuno. Vivo lontano dal centro del paese, perciò era facile non vedere mai nessuno. Facevo lunghe passeggiate con il mio cane nella macchia mediterranea e andavo a fare la spesa una volta a settimana, cercando di salutare furtivamente le persone che mi conoscevano. Un giorno mio figlio Marco mi disse: “Mamma perché non vai a fare una crociera?” “No, non mi interessa. Potrei fare un viaggio solo per andare a vedere un gorilla o un orangutan.” È iniziata così una fase del tutto nuova della mia vita. In questo racconto parlo della mia esperienza di volontaria a Sepilok nel Borneo, poi in Tanzania e infine in Amazzonia, a contatto con gli animali, esperienze meravigliose che hanno cambiato la mia vita e che oggi voglio condividere. Il nostro pianeta e tutto il regno animale hanno bisogno urgente del nostro amore.
Urban Spectacle in Republican Milan
At the turn of the nineteenth century, Lombardy and its capital Milan lived through a season of intense social and political change, especially in the passage between Austrian Monarchy and Napoleonic republics (1796-1799, and 1800-1802). While affecting cultural production on all levels, this passage occasioned a significant change in terms of public celebration, with republican festivals and other celebratory occasions coming from revolutionary France being reframed amongst Milanese specificities. After establishing a solid historical and aesthetic background to Lombardy in this delicate period, to the revolutionary models and to the Milanese substrate, this Element aims at reconstructing and describing the main features of the French republican festivals in Milan, and their impact on the city's landscape, soundscape and self-representation. It will also conclude by offering some reflections on these events' consequences on the following century's patriotism/nationalism and cultural production, reinstating them as an interesting, albeit forgotten case study.
The Academy of Fisticuffs
The Italian Enlightenment, no less than the Scottish, was central to the emergence of political economy and creation of market societies. Sophus Reinert turns to Milan in the late 1700s to recover early socialists' preoccupations with the often lethal tension among states, markets, and human welfare, and the policies these ideas informed.
The Century of Women
These include an academic debate, a scientific tract, an oration, an Enlightenment journal, and a fashion magazine. Analysis focuses on the specific ways in which the exigencies of the 'new science' and the burgeoning Enlightenment project founded on rational civil law, secular moral philosophy, and utilitarian social ethics forced a transformation in the formal controversy about women."--BOOK JACKET.
The World of Maria Gaetana Agnesi, Mathematician of God
The fascinating true story of mathematician Maria Agnesi. She is best known for her curve, the witch of Agnesi, which appears in almost all high school and undergraduate math books. She was a child prodigy who frequented the salon circuit, discussing mathematics, philosophy, history, and music in multiple languages. She wrote one of the first vernacular textbooks on calculus and was appointed chair of mathematics at the university in Bologna. In later years, however, she became a prominent figure within the Catholic Enlightenment, gave up academics, and devoted herself to the poor, the sick, the hungry, and the homeless. Indeed, the life of Maria Agnesi reveals a complex and enigmatic figure...
Political Reason and the Language of Change
FORTHCOMING OPEN ACCESS TITLE This collection of essays re-examines ideas of change and movements for change in early modern Europe without presuming that "progressive" change was the outcome of "reforms". "Reform" today implies rational, incremental change to public institutions and procedures. "Improvement" has a more general application, emphasising the positive outcome to which "reform" is oriented. But the language of reform is today used of historical personalities and movements that did not themselves use the term, and who in many cases were not necessarily seeking the progressive change that we would understand today. The activities of "reform" were embedded in contemporary politics,...
