  • AEOLIAN ISLANDS STROMBOLI Day One: Stromboli
    AEOLIAN ISLANDS STROMBOLI Day One: Stromboli Stromboli is the northernmost island of the archipelago and the most spectacular for its continuously active volcano. On the way, you will stop for a nice swim in the clear blue water. At sunset the lava from the volcano glowes as it makes its way down to meet the sea with a loud hiss. To watch the eruptions is especially impressive at night Enjoy the volcanic eruptions lighting up the night sky, a fiery display of nature’s incredible power, while you taste the tasteful delicacies of the chef under the stars. PANAREA Day Two/Three: Panarea Morning departure for Panarea. Panerea is tiny, compared to the other islands, but is the most picturesque with its stark white houses and brilliant yellow ginestra bushes. This island is chic and exclusive. By boat is the best way to explore its coastline and enjoy its clear waters that, together with a thriving underwater landscape make this island the best place for snorkeling and diving in the Aeolians. The island’s charm lies not only in its natural beauty but in its unspoiled character and car-free tracks. Most of the beaches are only accessible by sea, like Lisca Bianca, Basiluzzo and Spinazzola. Panerea is also called the "jet-set" island as it is crowded with young celebrities and its nightlife is particularly lively. SALINA Day Four: Salina Salina is a lush island with thick yellow gorse bushes and terraced vineyards. The island is also known for its delicious Malvasia wine, produced in both red and white varieties.

  • Untersuchung Der Naturwissenschaftlichen Fragmente Des Stoischen Philosophen Poseidonios Und Ihrer Bedeutung Für Seine Naturphilosophie
    Untersuchung der naturwissenschaftlichen Fragmente des stoischen Philosophen Poseidonios und ihrer Bedeutung für seine Naturphilosophie Von der Philosophischen Fakultät der Universität Hannover zur Erlangung des Grades einer Doktorin der Philosophie (Dr. phil.) genehmigte Dissertation von Christa-Vera Grewe geboren am 21. Juni 1932 in Hannover 2 Referent: Prof. Dr. Friedrich Wilhelm Korff Korreferent: Prof. Dr. Georg Schwedt Tag der Promotion: 13. Dezember 2005 3 Abstract Der Philosoph Poseidonios aus Apameia in Syrien war ein wichtiger Vertreter der stoischen Philosophie und ein früher Naturforscher. Obgleich seine Schriften nur in Fragmenten überliefert sind, konnte eine Beschreibung seines Lebenslaufes, seiner weiten Reisen und seines Wirkens in einer eigenen Schule auf Rhodos gegeben werden. Von seinen naturwissenschaftlichen Fragmenten wurden diejenigen ausgewählt und untersucht, die Poseidonios’ Erforschung der Abläufe von Erdbeben und Vulkantätigkeit und des Vor- kommens von Erdöl und Asphalt beinhalten sowie seine Aufstellung der Metallvorkommen in Gallien und Spanien mit seiner ausführlichen Beschreibung der spanischen Bergwerke und der in ihnen herrschenden Arbeitsbedingungen. Die Untersuchungen führten zu dem Ergebnis, daß Poseidonios als Erklärung für die Ursachen dieser Naturerscheinungen Theorien aufstellte, die im weiteren Verlauf der Antike weder weiterentwickelt noch widerlegt wurden und nach dem Ende der Spätantike verloren gingen. The philosopher Poseidonios of Apameia in Syria was an important representative of Stoic

  • The GIS Application to the Spatial Data Organization of the Necropolis of Poseidonia-Paestum (Salerno, Italy)
    The GIS Application to the Spatial Data Organization of the Necropolis of Poseidonia-Paestum (Salerno, Italy) A. SANTORIELLO', F. U. SCELZA', R. GALLOTTP, R. BOVE\ L. SIRANGELO', A. PONTRANDOLFO' ' University of Salemo, Department of Cultural Heritage, Laboratory of Archaeology "M. Napoli", Italy ' CRdC "Innova", Department of Cultural Heritage, University of Salemo, Italy ' Independent Software Developer ABSTRACT This paper concerns about the spatial organization and the thematic management of the Poseidonia and Paestum's urban funeral areas. The wide archaeological heritage, investigated since the beginning of XIX century, had been studied using different research methodologies. These studies led to several inhomogeneous documents. First of all, we have to notice the absence of a general topographical map concerning the exact localization of each grave. In front of this scenario, the aim for the researcher consisted in the documentary source's collection and the integration in order to construct an unique cartographical base to use as a corner stone for the Paestum 's plain. This base has been realized through the acquisition of multi-temporal and multi- scalar supports. These different data have been organized within a Geographical Information System, according to the same cartographical projection system. The burial ground's geo-localisation has been realized through survey control operations, carried out by a satellite positioning system (GPS- Glonass) with subcentrimetrical resolution. The second phase of the research aimed to the database construction in order to collect analytical records, relevant to each tomb, and to link the archaeological data to the geographical entities previously created. The target was to create an informative layer, selective and comprehensive at the same time, able to process specific thematic questions, analysis of singular funerary context and comparative examination of the entire necropolis.

While several other physicians had, previous to Marie, spoken about this disease, starting with the Dutch physician Johann Wier (ca. 1515-1588),1 numerous representations of the human figure with characteristics of acromegaly were fashioned by an- cient Greek and Hellenistic craftsmen.

The courses run in two consecutive periods, the first one from 2008 to 2011 and the second one from 2014 to 2016. This paper is focusing on key design and implementation features of the courses in both periods and is analyzing the ways and the level by which the evaluation of the courses of the first period affected positively the design of the courses in the second period by enhancing the strengths and rectifying the weaknesses. Further on the evaluation results of the second period courses clearly showed that the majority of the first period problems have been solved and provided useful material for further improvement. Keywords: e-Lifelong Learning Centers (e-LLLC), e-learning, online teaching, adult education, evaluation 1.
