Venationes at Iasos
No full textA corridor pavement of the House of Mosaics in Iasos shows the theme of running animals, which is known
in central Italy in the I-II century in the black-and-white version, and which is very common in Western Asia
Minor, particularly in Caria (Halikarnassos, Iasos, Orthosia), for a wide period since the second century AD.
The aim of this paper is to discuss different problems related to this kind of mosaics: the artistic point of view,
the possible identification of workshops, the meaning of such a theme, above all in relation to the Iasian mosaic.
In this respect, it is important that the Iasian pavement has been unearthed very recently and that the study of
its archaeological context is in progress. To define the chronological range of the Iasian mosaic, the stylistic
and iconographic study will be combined with the analysis of the pottery found in the layers underneath the
floor and in the layers above it
Greek Myth on Etruscan Urns from Perusia: the sacrifice of Iphigenia
Full text linkThe production of cremation urns of Perusia is one of the most important of North Etruria, and many of them were decorated with scenes of myth. The meaning of a myth is strictly related to its social and cultural context. Indeed, the reception of an iconographical theme depends on the specific cultural setting and each society perceives and re-elaborates the same image in different ways. This paper examines the use of the myth of the sacrifice of Iphigenia for the local Etruscan context of the second and first century B.C.E. The representation of that myth enjoyed in Perusia a success that is much greater than in Greek context, revealing the creative approach of the Perusian sculptors and the culture of their patrons

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

No full textThis paper tackles the issue of using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology as a decision making tool for the sustainable design of wood-energy supply chains in the Mediterranean area. This work is based on linking forest protection, its sustainable use to meet the local energy demand, efficiency and economic/environmental sustainability of plants. This study integrated the LCA and sustainable design of supply chains, by applying it to a public forest located in Southern Italy. Environmental impacts were estimated for each phase of the supply chain, to identify the most critical processes to be improved for an increased sustainability. The LCA allowed identifying the most impactful phases, as well as recognizing the most relevant environmental impact categories, by performing also an uncertainty analysis on the results. It emerged that the wood chipping is the most impactful phase of the designed supply chain, and the Climate Change is the most impactful environmental impact category on the Areas of Protection (AoP). This scenario is more sustainable than a similar one based on fossil fuels
