    La parola ha etimo incerto: forse proviene dal persiano birinǧ ‘bronzo, ottone’. Quel che è certo è che nelle varie aree linguistiche dell’Italia antica la forma è attestata già in epoca medievale, mentre la parola latina aes ‘bronzo’ non si è continuata

    Recenti sviluppi tecnologici dei sistemi che utilizzano la conducibilità elettrica del latte per il monitoraggio dello stato di salute delle capre=Recent technological developments of systems that use the electrical conductivity of milk to monitor the health status of goats

    In ruminants, infections by pathogenic microorganisms can be the origin of mastitis and they can affect both yields and quality of milk. The health status of mammary glands can be investigated through standardized laboratory analyses such as bacteriological analyses and the somatic cells count. These analyses need their relative times to be performed. For this reason, researchers have studied new markers and indexes able to detect, early and directly at the farm, the presence of udder pathologies with a specific focus on sub-clinical cases. In dairy cows, the electrical conductivity of milk has been the most studied parameter. In dairy goats, only recently the same trend has been observed although similar advantages, in terms of udder health, could be reached when the monitoring of the herd is performed. In this review, we present a detailed description of which is the current knowledge of this parameter and which is its detection characteristic when applied to milk from dairy goats in order to identify mastitis cases. The results of this review show that significant correlations between the mean values of electrical conductivity and the health status of mammary glands have been reported by many authors. Furthermore, different algorithms based on univariate or multivariate models have been tested with useful sensitivities and specificities. Therefore, this parameter can be considered as a tool to improve the monitoring of the mammary health status, also for dairy goats. However, the knowledge of the relationship between this parameter and the presence of mammary gland' pathologies should be improved. Furthermore, technological aspects related to the milking systems should be taken into account. In fact new sensors, able to measure this data on-line and for single gland, are necessary if the target is to use this technology in milking machines with performances comparable with those obtained with dairy cows

    Investigating Social Exclusion in Late Prehistoric Italy: Preliminary Results of the ‘‘IN or OUT’’ Project (PHASE 1)

    This report presents the preliminary results of the ‘‘IN or OUT’’ Project, a collaborative, interdisciplinary effort which aims to investigate social exclusion, marginality and the adoption of anomalous funerary rites in late prehistoric Italy. In particular, this contribution explores the incidence and meaning of practices of ritual marginalisation and funerary deviancy in the region of Veneto between the Bronze Age and the early Iron Age period

    L’età del Bronzo finale in Romagna

    Si presenta sinteticamente il quadro conoscitivo delle segnalazioni relative al passaggio tra Bronzo Recente e Bronzo Finale in Romagna e nelle zone limitrofe. L’area è al centro degli studi per la probabile costituzione di un polo demografico gravitante sul riminese che verrebbe a formarsi nel momento del collasso del popolamento nella pianura padana. Il quadro comprende alcuni materiali provenienti dal sito di Solarolo, via Ordiere, attribuibili alle fasi finali del BR e alle fasi iniziali del BF
