“…Every European naval power: the Spanish and Portuguese (Gomes and Gomes, 2015), French (Bamford, 1956;Boudriot, 1973), British (Charles and Charles, 1984: 40-41;Albion, 1926;Matthew, 1831;Charnock, 1801-3) and even the USA (Wood, 1981;Malone, 1964), became concerned with the now-forgotten industry of "Naval Forestry" and their limited supplies of suitable timber. The US Navy still has a forest at the Crane Naval Warfare Center (Desy and Monea, 2015;Desy, 2019) wherein a number of selected trees are reserved for maintaining the USS Constitution.…”

“…There are no reports on its spread to other Italian forests, but the practice appears to have become widespread. There is archaeological evidence (Gomes and Gomes, 2015;Grenier et al, 1994) of cultivation techniques (coppicing and pollarding) used elsewhere that would have been common knowledge and very likely used in Venice too to increase the quantities and quality of the wood grown. The Venetian production line then began in the forests.…”

Purpose The Arsenale was the largest medieval industrial enterprise, famous for its assembly line. Management faced extreme variations between peace-time and war-time demands. Satisfying these unpredictable and sudden demands for a large, complex product with a multiple years–long production cycle was challenging. The purpose of this study is to analyze the Arsenale’s operations and supply chain arrangements, and to identify and assess their management policies. We also track its development and investigate its influence on other countries. Design/methodology/approach The research methodology used is archival research with content analysis of text and graphic representations of production processes. Findings These reveal that Venice’s supply chain management evolved from simply exploiting woodlands as needs arose, to a managed forest with planned planting, cultivation and harvesting, ending with the active modification of growing trees so their natural growth was artificially shaped to satisfy production requirements. Instead of fabricating components in their factory, the Venetians formed them by shaping the trees while they were still growing. These arboriculture techniques then provided a planned and regular supply of high-quality components that purely natural processes provided only randomly. Research limitations/implications There may be undiscovered archival documents despite the authors’ best efforts. The development of this historic supply chain reflects modern managerial concerns. Practical implications Modern restorations of historic ships and buildings use some of the fabrication methods identified, although the more intensive techniques would require higher volume production. Social implications This reveals historical forestry practices emphasised long-term needs and sustainable use. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is a unique long-term investigation of an integrated production system and considers its influence on Iberian, French, British and American forestry and ship building. The close integration of production requirements with forestry practices was a novel finding.

Graveyard Symphony; A Study Investigating the Effectiveness of a Prototype Music Game

Learning to play a musical instrument, particularly the keyboard, can be challenging for adults who are beginners or have previously given up due to a lack of foundational skills and engaging practice methods. To address this issue, we have developed prototype games aimed at honing specific musical skills. Through several pilot studies, it became evident that assessing the effectiveness of video game experiences in skill acquisition compared to traditional practice methods was essential. Therefore, we hypothesised that video games could encourage sustained practice and reduce dropout rates among beginners. Consequently, our focus shifted to creating games centred on sheet music reading, specifically matching musical staff positions to keyboard keys. This paper presents a study aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of a specific prototype game in enhancing musical notation reading skills. Additionally, we assessed the game’s engagement, educational value and usability in comparison to a conventional practice tool. The results indicated that the game was equally or potentially more effective than the practice tool in improving the targeted skill. Furthermore, participants perceived the practice game as having greater educational value, although it did not surpass the practice tool in terms of engagement. Further discussion is provided to elucidate the reasons behind this finding.
