Dear RG members,
I have produced a thin section of a rock in our rock collection, used for students enrolled in the second year of the bachelor of Geology at Sapienza University of Rome. Unfortunately I do not know the sampling locality.
The rock has a quite simple mineralogy. It is made up of ~40-50% euhedral to subhedral plagioclase laths, ~10-15% columnar cpx with greenish rim, ~10-15% acicular biotite and ~10-15% orange, partially devitrified, glass (see attached picture; sorry for the poor quality of the images).
The rock is certainly igneous and should be classified as basalt, but my curiosity goes to the abundant and acicular biotite laths without any evidence of iso-orientation. Interesting is also the presence of prisms of cpx with greenish (likely Fe-rich) rims.
Any idea how it could have formed? I saw many kinds of basaltic rocks, but none with this characteristics.
Cheers,
michele
Is it appropriate to use the Greek concept of polis if Rome was not part of the Hellenic world?

Hello everybody
I am researcher from University of Novi Sad, Serbia and I was doing research on lateral steps on Vicon system. However i finished my project on Foro Italico University in Rome and now i need to work in Nexus to make model and extract the data from trials and prepared files. Since I don't have a Nexus at my faculty, i am looking for other option and help.
I would be very grateful for any advice and help!
I've registered on ResearchGate today but I can't upload my articles because they are linked to another account with the same name: Giulia Errico, Zurich University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland, but this account is not mine. I live in Rome not in Zurich. How is it possible that my works are linked to another account? I also put my ORCID, so how can I collegate ORCID with ResarchGate?
Kind regards,
Giulia Errico
In Alt Right Dr. Edward Croft Dutton's logic(I use my own phrasing), any most privileged heritage community(or as the Alt Right states race) is only dysgenics away from becoming the most oppressed.

Dear colleague,
I’m pleased to announce the 1st Regenerative Plastic Surgery International Conference to be held in Rome on December 1-2, 2023, in cooperation with the 3rd AIRMESS Conference. The location will be the beautiful Piazza di Spagna at the Congress Center sited in Via Alibert 5 at the corner of Via Margutta, one of the most famous and artistic streets of Rome.
The congress is dedicated to Plastic, Aesthetic, and Reconstructive Surgeons, Regenerative Plastic Surgeons, Experts in Regenerative Medicine, Dermatologists, and Aesthetic Physicians.
This international conference aims to compare the results obtained from regenerative plastic surgery with those obtained by reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgery in several fields as breast augmentation and reconstruction, face rejuvenation, hair re-growth, nose contouring, and many others.
The scientific committee is composed of international and famous speakers in these fields.
I dedicated my life to improving the scientific and clinical outcomes of regenerative plastic surgery and, for this reason, I would like to see in this meeting which is the current state of the art of both plastic reconstructive aesthetic surgery and regenerative plastic surgery.
I invite you to enjoy this unique event in the historic center of Rome.
At the same time, I would like to ask you if it is possible to think of a future based only on autologous and/or allogeneic cells/tissue transplants for damaged organs and tissues. What is your opinion?

The gifts (gold, frankincense, myrrh) were not of such a nature that they would've been of use to humble folks, except as items with a resale value to a broker. It has been suggested that the gold was used to pay the innkeeper, but that seems unlikely since a common innkeeper would not have been used to dealing in gold. Denarius coins (mostly bronze with minimal silver content) were the common currency of the day.

While in ancient Israel, in Mesopotamia, and in ancient Egypt they did not seem to have terms like liberty and freedom, these terms appeared in ancient Greece and Rome, around 500 B.C. (Eleutheria for Greece, Libertas for Rome). However, at this time slavery was common in all these countries and was contrary to our more recent notion of liberty, as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 clearly said: Article 3: Everyone has the right to life, liberty and the security of person. Article 4: No one shall be held in slavery and in servitude and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms. However, is this declaration always true everywhere?
When monotheistic religions became the main religious groups the notion of liberty took another signification. Only God can be free, and humans are under his jurisdiction. Eleutheria and libertas had no reason to exist and the only liberty for man is to accept this power of God.
More recently, Sartre in Existentialism is a humanism (1946) tries to go further and said: Everything is indeed permitted if God does not exist, and man is in consequence forlorn, for he cannot find anything to depend upon either within or outside himself. He discovers forthwith, that he is without excuse. For if indeed existence precedes essence, one will never be able to explain one’s action by reference to a given and specific human nature; in other words, there is no determinism—man is free, man is freedom. Nor, on the other hand, if God does not exist, are we provided with any values or commands that could legitimise our behaviour. Thus we have neither behind us, nor before us in a luminous realm of values, any means of justification or excuse. — We are left alone, without excuse. That is what I mean when I say that man is condemned to be free.
Finally, can the idea of distinguishing between positive and negative liberty solve this question? Positive liberty is the possibility of acting — or the fact of acting — in such a way as to take control of one's life and realize one's fundamental purposes. One has negative liberty to the extent that actions are available to one in the negative sense. Is there a third way to consider liberty?
There are many other questions that this notion can raise, and no solution seems for the moment accepted by all humans. Is a more scientific treatment of this notion able to solve these problems?
There are multiple problems in determining what happened when Aretas's ethnarch reportedly attempted to capture the Apostle Paul. These include that an army that far into Roman territory would not have been tolerated and even though Syrian legions were occupied with Parthia, Egyptian legions would have been available. Further, evidence from Moses of Chorene and numismatics imply that Antipas attacked Aretas rather than the other way around as reported by Josephus which is required to even suggest Nabataean troops that far into Roman territory. And given that while dealing with Parthia, Vitellius found the time to deal with other regional problems, it makes it highly unlikely that Aretas did anything to anger Rome. So might the ehtnarch have been appointed by Vitellius, and thus implying that the Apostle Paul was on a Roman watch list as early as 37 or 38 CE.
My field of research is the philosophy of physics and I look for Petrus Hoenen's books in English or some Romance language (French, Italian or other). This author originally edited in Latin at the Gregorian University of Rome
What is some good scholarship on the Roman the patronus ("patron") and their cliens ("client"), as compared/contrasted to practices in Ancient Greeks? And what if any did this factor played in how civic life was understood?
What would be the best scholarship to turn to on this? Especially scholarship that addresses why such relations are less clearly prevalent in Ancient Greek social practice.
In 1940 which could have been the best methodology? The Mussolini regime tried to realize a tunnel for an urban railway ( in Rome), but works were interrupted by the WW2....
...so 4 km were excavated but we don't know how. The tunnel's diameter was more than 8 meters. Over the tunnel there are few meters of soil; it could have been possibile that a trench was excavated and then an artificial revetment has been settled?
For example, what do you know about the origin of "Pozzo del Merro" (near Rome)? It's a water-filled sinkhole more than 400 meters deep; may we speculate about its formation and evolution?
The Monterotondo Municipality has described it in an official technical report, citing the original reference. No news in the italian seismic catalogues. Have you got any useful information?
I have a data set of spontaneous speech in Romanesco (Italian dialect spoken in Rome), which I need to gloss morphologically.

Dear Tamara,
thank you, first of all, for letting me know about this initiative, which seems very promising. As my colleague, Maria Antonietta Pinto and myself are been doing extensive research in the field you pointed in the past ten years, we would be delighted to share ideas and materials.
Please let us know more about how things are going on.
Looking forward to receiving a feedback.
Best regards.

As occidentals, slavery themes drags us to a funded shame. But this is not a reason to forget about their main contribution to Humanity culture. Literate slaves were a main component of Roman culture and society. As far Romans used slavery as a war weapon, killing the Kings and bringing to Rome, hands tied-up, the sons. That's how young educated princes from different cultures entered Roman society. Thought at first to be slave preceptors and entertainers, with their lascivious way of life, Roman ended up lazy about culture, as far they had live encyclopedias as slaves. Soon, literate slaves went on charge copying and translating ancient books, that way accumulating even more knowledge. The literate slave system hold on after Rome's destruction, and survived until 18th Century. Manutius, which name means: slave with tied-up hands, invented edition in Venice in 1490. Maybe because he was a descendant of a slave, he's almost unknown in Europe even if we all use its inventions on a dairy basis: Italic character, pocket book, comic, editorial committee. Let's call it a shameful hypocrisy. Let's discover our slave cultural roots.
I need articles on the subject to aid my studies and assignment.
Dear,
My name is Noemi Giannetta; I am Italian PhD student at the Tor Vergata, University of Rome. I am writing to ask you if you are interested to partecipate to an international study about medication errors in ICU (intensive Care Unit). It is a study conducted for Tor Vergata University of Rome and Sapienza University of Rome. The aim of this study will be to assess knowledge, attitudes and professional behaviour of Italian and “international” nurses towards preparation and administration of intravenous medications in ICUs. At the moment, Spain, Portugal and Malta are the country involved. I'm very grateful if you can help me to administrate a web survey to your colleagues in ICU (Di Muzio, Tartaglini, De Vito, & La Torre, 2016). I am very happy if you are interested to help us to publicizing of the web survey.
Miller did experimental work which showed that dissenting pupils played a key role in provoking stage-transcending learning in dilemma discussions (zone of proximal development etc). He wrote about the role of courage in discussion, too. Also Pontecorvo of Sapienzia University in Rome did related work at about that time.

Scientific progress depends upon the proper dissemination of results and can only be fully achieved when access to the broad picture of the scientific knowledge is provided. Notwithstanding, there is a concerning low publicity of null results (i.e. findings do not support the experimental hypothesis), controversial data that could not be predicted according to current theories, and methodological "failures" due to lack of standardized procedures. Researchers tend to communicate more results with statistically significant differences, and negative results are often considered not "publishable" by authors, journal editors, and peer-reviewers. Null results should not be regarded as no results especially in environmental science. Well-grounded assessments on possible pollution sources that were found to not contribute to environmental contamination, ecotoxicological tests that could not detect toxicity under certain circumstances, or expensive analytical methods that are not particularly more efficient than cheaper options constitute very relevant information for improving strategies on environmental management, policy, and research practice. If you have found this kind of result, your results are relevant to our session that might take place at SETAC Europe Meeting (Rome, 2018). Submissions are welcome until November 29th 2017.

I'm doing research on quality of life in big cities (metropolitan areas, mostly) , and I need to find out about large old cities as well (to compare and find patterns). I need to read about what life was for an average citizen, the problems they faced (crime, mental illness, disease, personal interaction).
(Cities like Rome, Athens, Constantinopla, for example)
