Folklore and Literary Tradition in the Riddles of Basil Levshin
No full textAt the article the prosaic riddles of Basil Levshin, the writer of the second half of the XVIII century, are considered in the context of Russian folklore and literary traditions. Riddles are classified according to their thematic focus, a way to create interpretive field, the subject-object organization. In the process of comparative analysis, the author comes to the conclusion that most of the riddles of the writer characterized by cognitive and heuristic orientation. They reflected both cognitive picture of the world in the representation of contemporary society, and the specifics of the national concept sphere, as well as the submission of the author of the mythological model of the world

Architecture in tension: an examination of the position of the architect in the private and public sectors, focusing on the training and careers of Sir Basil Spence (1907-1976) and Sir Donald Gibson (1908-1991)
No full textIn the early 1900s tensions began to appear within the architectural profession,
as private practitioners struggled to deal with the implications of professional
colleagues moving into public sector employment. Sir Basil Spence and Sir
Donald Gibson began their architectural training in the mid-1920s and, as
tensions between the sectors intensified, Spence entered private practice and
Gibson chose to enter the public sector. Each became an exemplar of his
chosen sector of the profession and yet both have, until recently, escaped
critical attention. The tensions between the public and private sectors of the
profession have been acknowledged within the historiography, but not received
detailed analysis.
This thesis advances the current historiography by presenting an examination
of the division between the sectors, focusing on the relationship between the
RIBA and the public sector union AASTA and assessing the influence of
AASTA on Gibson's Coventry City Architect's Department.
Through an examination of archival material, contemporary published material,
and buildings, this thesis builds on the work of the Sir Basil Spence Archive
Project, adding detailed accounts of his early life, architectural training, and
RIBA presidency, presenting new information and correcting certain aspects of
the accepted historiography. It likewise presents new information on Gibson's
early life and training and his central role in achieving improved status and
representation for the public sector. An analysis of selected projects provides a
comparative study of their contrasting approaches to architecture: the
technically informed, collaborative team-work of Gibson and the individual
artistry of Spence.
Both men played pivotal roles in reforming the RIBA and in changing public and
professional perceptions of the architect, nevertheless, the long lineage and
complex nature of tensions within the profession meant that the public/private
division was never be bridged and issues of status and representation
remained essentially immutable
GOD AND BEINGIN BASIL OF CAESAREA
No full textThe article attempts to deepen our understanding of the problem of God’s essence in Saint Basil. Does Saint Basil identify God with being or does he exclusively wish to prove God’s total incomprehensibility? The author analyzes Saint Basil’s arguments concerning this matter and compares Basil’s statements with those defended by Eunomius with whom Basil polemicized. In defending his own position, Saint Basil defi ned several fundamental points of doctrine
Reducing The Effects Of Climate Change Through The Restoration Of Inland Urban Water Ecology In Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria
No full textIn urban development, water bodies and wetlands, the ecological resources suffer degradation and disequilibrium. This often leads to the destruction of vegetation, soil degradation, and aquatic and marine life which escalates the effects of climate change. The paper examines this situation as it affects the two water bodies of Nworie and Otamiri rivers in Owerri urban, with a view to proffering strategies for restoring the ecology of the rivers and mitigating the effects of climate change. Historically, the rivers formed the socio-economic, socio-cultural and environmental backbone for Owerri urban. However, over the years, the surrounding rainforest vegetation, wetlands, and river bank have been destroyed, leading to ecological disequilibrium, erosion and pollution. The paper identifies the components of the river ecosystem along the river stretch and identifies some of the resulting ecological problems using satellite technology, Geographic Information System, and Geographic Positioning System. It found that it is possible to restore the ecology of the growing urban area through replanting of local cash economic trees, re-grassing, community participation, and repopulation of the aquatic and marine elements. It is also possible to restore the recreational potential of the rivers and improve tourism, urban agriculture and economy. It is therefore proposed that a policy direction that can not only restore the ecology of urban water bodies but also improve the management of ecological resources of other emerging urban areas should be pursued
Smart Floating Housing For Flood Resilient Building Design In Oguta, Imo State, Nigeria
No full textThe practice of moving to or having settlement on elevated highland in flood-prone areas above sea level is as old as human civilisation. Floating, hydrostatic architecture and buildings in riverine areas have long been practised even in Makoko, Ijora, Ekpe lagoon communities in Lagos, Nigeria. Floating decks called pontoon services are used in riverine areas of Oguta II and places such as Oguta lake to cross cargo, people and as a means of mass transportation in these and other areas of Nigeria. This paper explores the innovative concept of incorporating smart floating foundations and decks as a promising technological solution for constructing flood-resilient buildings and facilities. By incorporating advanced smart technologies with hydraulic engineering principles, these foundations can adapt to fluctuating water levels, reduce the risk of structural damage and ensure the safety of occupants. Through literature review and relevant case studies, the paper delved into the causes of flood, increased impact of climate change, engineering design considerations for flood resilient buildings, and employable up scaling technological advancements. It found that potential benefits of smart floating foundations can reduce and solve flooding problems of ravaging climate change in perennially flooded areas of Oguta and indeed Nigeria. It thus concludes that this research not only reinforces the age-long practice of community flood problem response but provides valuable insights for the society, students, architects, engineers, and policymakers to tackle contemporary climate change flooding challenges in riverine areas

Intersection Of Gender And Climate Change: Enhancing Resilience By Empowering Rural Women In Anambra State
No full textClimate change is a global crisis with far-reaching impacts across all demographics, yet its effects often intersect with gender, vulnerable populations, with women bearing the brunt of its adverse effects. Women, particularly in developing regions, play pivotal roles in resource management, agriculture, and community resilience being at the forefront of local climate adaptation strategies. This paper argues that understanding the intricate relationship between gender and climate vulnerability in rural areas as it affects women is crucial for building effective resilience. It explores the intense relationship between gender and climate resilience, highlighting the crucial roles women play in building community resilience and the ways they can empower the community to climate-related policies and programs. While women face issues and challenges, they also possess invaluable knowledge, skills and leadership qualities that make them agents of positive change in climate related issues. However, their contributions frequently go unrecognized, and they are often excluded from decision-making processes concerning climate action. The aim of this paper is to contribute to a deeper understanding of the gender-climate nexus so as to highlight the importance of women empowerment in climate resilience. The paper observes that climate change poses distinct challenges to women, particularly in the context of health, economic stability, and social structures. It identifies through literature, case studies that extreme weather events, food insecurity, forest depletion and loss of biodiversity disproportionately impact women\u27s livelihoods and increases gender-based violence. It analyses these dynamics and concludes by emphasising the necessity of integrating gender perspectives into climate policies and emphasizes the empowerment of women as important to effective climate action. Policy recognizing women as both agents and victims of climate change is essential for developing effective approaches that foster resilience, equity, and sustainable development in a changing world. The research therefore provides stakeholders and policymakers with recommendations to integrate gender considerations into climate action initiatives
