Through the contextual analysis of the occurrences of solar deities in the Kuwattalla ritual texts, we will try to sketch a portrait of these deities, focusing on their functions in the ritual process. Special attention will be paid to the combination of ritual gestures with Luwian incantations, since the latter might help to define the specificities of each member of this divine group.
Energy‐dependent full‐field transmission soft X‐ray microscopy is a powerful technique that provides chemical information with spatial resolution at the nanoscale. Oxygen K‐level transitions can be optimally detected, and we used this technique to study the discharge products of lithium‐oxygen batteries, where this element undergoes a complex chemistry, involving at least three differ…
Diatomite is a natural porous silica material of sedimentary origin, formed by remains of diatom skeletons called “frustules.” The abundance in many areas of the world and the peculiar physico-chemical properties made diatomite an intriguing material for several applications ranging from food production to pharmaceutics.
Rock-cut architecture is an essential yet little-known type of vernacular architecture whose nature is different from what we understand by the term ‘architecture’
This article analyses transnational policies on employability to understand the development of employability as a global norm and reflects about its consequences for stakeholders in the field of lifelong learning.

The report ‘The Limits to Growth’ (Meadows et al., 1974) highlights how sustainable action implies wide-ranging, systemic considerations and forward-looking thinking. This is also reflected in the definition of Sustainable Development provided in the Report ‘Our Common Futur…
This This chapter reads Beckett’s fascination with what Steven Connor has called ‘slow going’ alongside Rob Nixon’s description of the ‘slow violence’ of climate breakdown. Following Nixon’s suggestion that ‘slow violence’ does not register readily in narratives and temporalities of crisis, I examine Beckett’s attention to what remains in a paradoxically stuck and ongoing ti…
Para arkeolog cenderung mengandalkan metode ilmiah untuk merekonstruksi sejarah masa lalu, sebuah pendekatan yang dapat mengasingkan penduduk asli setempat dan membatasi potensi penelitian arkeologi. Esai dalam volume ini berpendapat bahwa mendengarkan dan belajar dari komunitas lokal dan keturunan sangat penting untuk menafsirkan sejarah dan nilai warisan situs arkeologi. Studi kasus dari selu…
The chapter aims to develop a regionally disaggregated agricultural supply model for Tunisia in order to investigate the potential effects of increasing water scarcity on the performances of the agricultural sector in the country, and the structural adaptation strategies needed to face such a challenge. A set of scenarios combining future water availability, water use efficiency, and increasing…
