Recherches archéologiques récentes à Ulug Dépé (Turkménistan)
No full textRecent French-Turkmen excavations at the piedmont site of Ulug depe in southern Turkmenistan yielded the longest strati-graphical sequence in Central Asia : from the Chalcolithic to the Achaemenid period. Due to its location, its surface (13 ha) and to its height (30 m), Ulug Depe is a key site to study the cultural interactions between Central Asia, Elam, Mesopotamia and the Indus civilisation, as well as the most debated Central Asian transitional periods.Les fouilles récentes de la mission archéologique franco-turkmène sur le site d'Ulug Dépé, dans le sud du Turkménistan, ont révélé la plus longue séquence stratigraphique d 'Asie centrale : du Chalcolithique à la période achéménide. De par sa situation géographique, sa surface (13 ha) et sa hauteur, Ulug Dépé est un site clé pour l'étude de l'interaction entre l'Asie centrale, l'Elam, la Mésopotamie et la civilisation de l'Indus ; mais également pour la compréhension des grandes articulations chrono-culturelles centre-asiatiques qui font débat dans la communauté scientifique.Lecomte Olivier, Francfort Henri-Paul, Boucharlat Rémy, Mamedow Mohamed.

Meeting in the steppes: new insights on nutrition analyses (C, N) of the Bronze Age population in Ulug Depe, Turkmenistan
No full textInternational audienceDuring the Middle Bronze Age (ca. 2200-1700 BC) flourished the Oxus Civilization or Bactriana-Margiana Archaeological Complex (BMAC) in the “oasis zone” – present-day southern Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, southern Kyrgyzstan, northern Afghanistan and north-eastern Iran. The location between harsh deserts and high mountain ranges, which always formed naturally pass ways had a deep impact on the evolution of these societies. The first structured proto-urban cities as Gonur Depe, Ulug Depe, Namazga Depe, Sapalli Tepa or Dzharkutan, rose in this region. Populations of the BMAC are known as sedentary communities, whose economy were based on both pastoralism and agriculture. The talk will present new results on isotopic studies of human and animals of Ulug Depe in southern Turkmenistan. The results will be put into perspective of contemporaneous sites in the oasis zone as Dzharkutan and Sapalli Tepa in south Uzbekistan. Ulug Depe was a cultural and political center for the surrounding area. The BMAC people were involved in long-distance interactions and interregional exchanges through an active trade system. The results of 87Sr /86Sr and δ18O of Ulug humans indicate not only a high ratio of immigration, and therefore strong mutual influences of different cultures and ethnics; but also, a lively pattern of mobility. To get a better picture of everyday life, foodways, food supply, and nutrition of these people, subsistence engagements in form of collagen analyses (δ15N, δ13C) of humans and animals will be discussed following the issues of environmental and climatic conditions of the surrounding region

Examining the impact of clean environmental regulations on load capacity factor to achieve sustainability: Evidence from APEC economies
No full textEnvironmental regulations have emerged as a critical policy tool for promoting environmental sustainability worldwide. However, there is a dearth of literature that investigates the impact of environmental regulations on load capacity factor in Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) economies. This study aims to address this gap by examining the role of renewable energy consumption, human capital, and environmental regulations in improving load capacity factor. In doing so, the paper covers 14 APEC economies; applies second generations panel data models (i.e., CUP-FM (continuously updated fully modified) as the base model and CUP-BC (continuously-updated and bias-corrected) for the robustness); and runs data between 1992 and 2018. The empirical findings present that: i) renewable energy consumption and human capital contribute to improving load capacity factor; ii) environmental regulations are not at a level to increase load capacity factor; iii) economic growth and trade openness significantly reduce load capacity factor. Considering empirical outcomes, this study suggests that APEC should tighten environmental regulations to achieve sustainable environment. In addition, this study offers important sustainable environmental policies for APEC within the framework of empirical findings

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
