Letter on: “Artificial Intelligence: Enhancing Scientific Presentations in Aesthetic Surgery”
No full textAuthors discuss the paper titled “Artificial Intelligence: Enhancing Scientific Presentations in Aesthetic Surgery,” which explores how AI can improve the delivery and effectiveness of scientific presentations. They argue that the integration of AI in aesthetic surgery heralds significant possibilities for both academic and clinical applications. Currently, AI is already being utilized in various surgical aspects, including patient assessment, surgical planning, and intraoperative decision-making.

Modelli cittadini e gerarchie urbane nella Galilea del I secolo: il caso di Magdala/Tarichee
Full text linkTarsus in the Age of Septimius Severus and Caracalla
No full textTarsus was a city first inhabited by Phoenicians and Luwian-speaking Hittites but later artificially transformed into a supposedly Greek colony after the coming of Alexander. In the mid-imperial age its elite was proud of its Greek origins, but a large amount of Phoenicians still lived there. The Severan Empire transformed these Phoenicians, or many of them, into Roman citizens by conferring new political privileges. Because of the Semitic origins of Severus and his dynasty, the Phoenician and especially Tyrian contribution to the original foundation of the city and to its new foundation as a Roman city also earned greater prestige

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Riflessioni sulla forma urbana di Venusia e sull'Ager Venusinus. Tra vecchi e nuovi dati
No full textpaper presents the the final phase of the long term investigation conducted in the ancient colony of Venusia, and in the Melfi district between the Ofanto valley and the slopes of Mount Vulture. The colony of Venusia is located in a border area involing Lucania, Sannio and the Daunia area. Its border position is found in verses by Horace, who calls himself an ... “Lucanus Apulus anceps ...” Sources tell us that the city was besieged and captured from the Samnites in 291 BC by the Roman consul Postumius Megello. According to Dionysius, a colony of twenty thousand settlers was established there by Megello. The creation of this new colony and the planning of its urban centre, entailed the reorganisation of a vast territory. The urban plan proposed for ancient Venusia is based on the module of 52 x 105 m. The city walls included the whole hill. The wall was building in opus quadratum . But We known only a short stroke of the wall in the West part of the city We don’t know cult places but in the museum we can see several anatomic votive (Hands, feet, female statues ecc) Belonging to a now lost votive stipe. We don't know the monuments (the building Curia, Basilica ecc) of the forum, but I think the ancient forum located in Piazza Orazio Venusia was involved in the war against Hannibal providing assistance to the Romans during all phases of the conflict, with very strong repercussions on the territory due especially to the transit of military troops. It was the site of repeated clashes between the years 216 and 206 BC, and was repeatedly ravaged by Hannibal’s soldiers. Information in the Liber Coloniarum suggests that there was an increase in the population in the late second century following the allotments made by Graccus. Involved in the social war on the side of the Italic insurgents, Venusia became a municipium of the tribus Horatia. An event that brought about a further change in the area, one which is well documented by archaeological findings, was the transfer to Venusia of veterans of Augustus’s wars in 43 BC. Interventions in both public and private construction in the Imperial period document the prosperity of the city – a prosperity that seems to have withstood even the construction of the Trajan Apian Way, which isolated the town from the main arteries. The rise of large villas marks the transition in the region from small to large, Imperial estates
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Bleeding Risk in Post-bariatric Abdominoplasties: A Large Cohort Study
Full text linkBackground: Post-bariatric abdominoplasty is a standard procedure to improve body contour and quality of life following massive weight loss. However, perioperative bleeding remains a concern, particularly in the context of thromboprophylaxis and pre-existing comorbidities. This study investigates the risk factors for bleeding, including hypertension and bariatric surgery type, in patients undergoing abdominoplasty post-bariatric surgery. Methods: Patient data were retrospectively collected from a tertiary centre in Italy. Patient demographics, comorbidities, bariatric surgery type, and thromboprophylaxis use were analysed. Univariable and multivariable regression analyses identified significant predictors of bleeding. Risk ratios (RR) were calculated for bleeding outcomes based on bariatric surgery type and patient variables. Results: A total of 201 patients who underwent abdominoplasty following bariatric surgery were included in the analysis. The cohort had a median age of 44 years, with 71% female (142/201). Hypertension was significantly associated with bleeding risk (β = 0.1, p = 0.047; RR = 2.5, 95% CI: 1.02–6.01, p = 0.045). Among bariatric procedures, gastric banding conferred the highest bleeding risk compared to mini-gastric bypass (RR = 6.8, 95% CI: 2.09–21.8, p = 0.001). Sleeve gastrectomy also showed a higher bleeding risk than mini-gastric bypass (RR = 3.3, 95% CI: 1.24–8.5, p = 0.016). Conclusion: Hypertension emerged as an independent risk factor for bleeding in post-bariatric abdominoplasty, increasing risk by more than twofold. Additionally, bariatric surgery type influenced outcomes, with gastric banding and sleeve gastrectomy associated with higher bleeding risk compared to mini-gastric bypass. These findings highlight the importance of preoperative optimisation and surgical planning to mitigate bleeding complications.

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
