“…Equiatomic Ni-Ti alloy called Nitinol combines strength, softness, pseudo-elasticity and biocompatibility [7,25]. With less than 49.4 atom% Ti, the alloy becomes hard and brittle due to the Ni3Ti intermetallic phase.…”

“…NiTi monophase is, however, both flexible and rigid depending on the temperature. Superelasticity, biocompatibility, shock damping, fatigue restraint, restricted erosion, biofunctionality, wear opposition, corrosion resistance, shape memory, and stiffness similarity to the bone are some extraordinary behaviors of the Ni-Ti alloy [9,18,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. That these characteristics make it superior to other alloys qualifies Nitinol usage for making orthopaedic implants, especially for high loading/reloading regions.…”

“…For spinal correction, stainless steel has traditionally been in use for several decades. In recent years, Nitinol has come up with extraordinary attraction stemming from its outstanding features [25,27]. Lukina, et al have compared Nitinol with Co-Cr and titanium alloys.…”

“…According to them, Nitinol resists wear, 100 times better than Ti [36]. Superiority of Nitinol to stainless steel and Ti-Al-V for endochondral bone substitution has be explained by other authors [25]. Tarnita et al have shown Nitinol resemblance to the bone [37] by indicating self-locking, self-expanding, and self-compression attests [20,23,[38][39][40].…”

A B S T R A C TScoliosis, kyphosis, and bone fracture are health problems, especially of the elderly throughout the world. The vertebra protects the spinal cord. Any impairment to the vertebra can lead to pain and nervousness. Ni-Ti alloy (Nitinol) helps to resolve the problem by fulfilling such requirements as for strength, durability, resistance to wear, and shockwave damping which is due to the shape memory effect. Nitinol medical applications have so far been restricted to surgical devices and orthopaedics. Little has been said about Nitinol use for medication of the spinal vertebra disorder. This article appraises the potential features of Nitinol for vertebral implantation and therapeutic prescription consistent with the specific anatomical variation. Staples, screws, cages, stents, and posterior-stabilizers made of Nitinol have passed in-vitro tests and in some cases in-vivo examinations. Using anatomically tailored Nitinol for treatment and administration of the damaged vertebra is proposed as a forecastable dream.

“…In the frame of the anthology of Nordic poetry, called Severské léto (The Nordic Summer), he translated twenty-five poems from four different collections by Bo Carpelan. 4 The anthology was published in 1977 by the Práce publishers, the print run being 2000 copies. Michl's activities continued in 1987, when he translated a collection of Södergran's poems from all of her collected works, Samlade dikter, named after her last collection Landet, som icke är (Země, která není).…”

Finland-Swedish Literature in the Czech Field of Literary Production

Transit – 'Norden' Och 'Europa'

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This contribution, theoretically and methodologically inspired by Pierre Bourdieu's concept of a literary field, analyses the case of Finland-Swedish literature translations into Czech. This literature is viewed as Swedish-language minority literature in Finland after 1900. The field of literary production is small, but nevertheless represents a varied Finland-Swedish 'segment' in the Czech field. As such it constitutes a certain publishing field, having two polarities (commercial/intellectual; young/old) and being entered into by publishers and translators who select writers and books from a certain space of possibles. Print runs of the published books and the distribution of publishing grants are explored with a view to the sociological character of the research. The analysis is divided into sections according to genres and their presupposed place in the field. It is found that while the mechanisms in the Czech publishing field of Finland-Swedish literature are fragmentary (many different authors, works, translators and publishers), the Bourdieusian approach is a productive framework through which to view the division between the intellectual and commercial poles. The position of Finland-Swedish modernist poetry and prose -Edith Södergran, Bo Carpelan and Hagar Olsson, published by Práce and Odeon publishers -is especially significant on the intellectual pole, as well as the position of their advocates within the Czech field (e.g. Josef B. Michl). Short stories, extracts and essays, often belonging to the Finland-Swedish classics (e.g. Christer Kihlman, Henrik Tikkanen), were mainly published in cultural reviews. Finland-Swedish prose is the most varied category, encompassing a broad spectrum of authors and works. Finland-Swedish drama is represented by Bo Ahlfors and the translator of his works František Fröhlich, while commercially successful literature is represented by Sally Salminen's books, published by A. Neubert and Tove Jansson's Moomins. Some of them were translated from Swedish by Libor Štukavec and published by Albatros, others were translated from English and published by Argo.
