Zwolse stadskrans; herstructurering door stedelijke inbreiding
No full textEen moderne stad van de 21e eeuw vraagt om nieuwe bestemmingen voor strategisch gelegen locaties in bestaand stedelijk gebied. Voor een aantal locaties rond de historische binnenstad van Zwolle zijn ruimtelijke veranderingsmogelijkheden, maar nog geen uitgekristalliseerde plannen. Nieuw bij de inbreiding is het 'krans'-denken. De stadskrans is de zone om de binnenstad, deze functioneert als overgang tussen de binnenstad en de omliggende wijken. Daarbij is het uitgangspunt dat de krans als geheel gezien wordt: een kralensnoer dat bestaat uit verschillende kralen met elk hun eigen thema, karakter en verschijningsvorm. De invulling van de gebieden is het resultaat van twee factoren: het huidige/beoogde karakter van het gebied en het schaalniveau waaraan het gebied gekoppeld is. Het karakter heeft alles te maken met het gebruik en de functionaliteit, zoals onderwijs, cultuur en bedrijvigheid e.d. Het schaalniveau is gekoppeld aan het infrastructurele netwerk, zoals de rijksweg A28, het spoor en de regionale wegen. Het centrum blijft het belangrijkste gebied van de stad, maar kan niet groeien door de fysieke barri van de singel. Aan de andere kant van de singel, op steenworp afstand van de binnenstad, liggen gebieden die door middel van herstructurering het centrum kunnen ondersteunen. Deze gebieden kunnen ruimte bieden aan centrumstedelijke woonmilieus nabij de binnenstad mogelijk gecombineerd met representatieve bedrijvigheid, detailhandel, dienstverlening, horeca, leisure, kantoren en (centrum-)parkeervoorzieningen.Architectur
RECEPTION OF THE EUROPEAN CITY IN THE PROSE BY E.D. AIPIN (CONCERNING THE URBAN CODE OF THE KHANTY LITERATURE)
No full textPurpose. The article is devoted to the issue of the urban text, being quite topical in the modern Finno-Ugric philology. The subject of analysis is the reception of the European topos in the works by a leading Khanty writer E.D. Aipin. The author aims to reveal the formation of the urban code in the Khanty literature as based on the example of the works by E.D. Aipin.
Method or methodology of the work. The basis of the research are the historical-cultural and comparative methods, as well as modern approaches to a selective sample analysis of a literary text.
Results. The results of the work lie in the fact that the author interprets the processes of formation of the urban code in the writer’s work of art as well as in national literature of the Khanty people. The research confirms a feature of E.D. Aipin’s idiostyle that was revealed earlier. The author claims the approach that the Khanty writer selected, i.e. the view at a European city through the eyes of a traveler, quite harmoniously represents both the topos and process of metatext formation in the literary work.
Field of practical application of the results. The results of the research can be applied in the field of literary and interdisciplinary humanitarian studies

Species Blancoanae :a critical revision of the Philippine species of plants described by Blanco and by Llanos /by E.D. Merrill.
No full textAn appreciation of the Rijks Herbarium
No full textThe Netherlands is to be congratulated in having available within its borders such an outstandingly important collection of historical botanical material as that preserved in the Rijks Herbarium at Leiden. To a greater and greater degree the importance of this great assemblage of botanical specimens becomes manifest as critical work is done on it and on the corresponding collections in other botanical centers, and as various natural groups are treated monographically. In many groups of plants, particularly those represented in the Netherlands East Indies, the Rijks Herbarium is the court of last resort in determining the exact status of many hundreds of described species, because in this collection are deposited the actual types of the very numerous species described by REINWARDT, BLUME, KORTHALS, MIQUEL, BÜSE and other pioneer botanists who did the original basic work on the exceedingly rich flora of Malaysia. In addition to these early botanical collections the institution contains a most important series of specimens collected within the past half century in all parts of Malaysia, extending from Sumatra to New Guinea and including the Philippines. It is an almost hopeless task accurately to indentify these recent collections without reference to the vast stores of historical material preserved in Leiden. While it is true that extensive collections of Malaysian plants are to be found in other botanical centers, such as Kew, the British Museum, the Paris Museum, the Berlin Botanical Garden, the Natural History Museum, Vienna, the New York Botanical Garden, the United States National Herbarium, and at such distant centers as Buitenzorg, Singapore, Calcutta, and Manila, not one of these institutions has such great wealth of historical Malaysian material as is to be found in the archives of the Rijks Herbarium. In extent, that is in the actual number of specimens of Malaysian plants, disregarding the historical aspects of the collection, no botanical institution in the world contains such a mass of Malaysian material as that preserved in Leiden.
While it is true that in the past some monographs have been prepared on the basis of an actual examination of material in several institutions, much such work has been done solely on the basis of collections available in one center. The modern tendency is for botanists to go farther afield and in doing really critical work to examine the historical material preserved in the larger botanical centers. This may and usually does involve more or less travel, but many centers now provide for inter-institutional loans, while it is usually possible to secure photographs of really important specimens. Through such cooperation monographic work is rendered much more inclusive, more valuable, and more accurate than in those cases where a monographer has based his work largely or wholly on the collections in one institution; and where his knowledge of those species not represented in his own institution was gained from the descriptions alone. It is axiomatic that no monographic treatment is fully satisfactory unless it is actually based on comprehensive collections where the author, through one means or another, has been able critically to examine actual specimens of most or all of the species considered by him, including as far as possible the actual types on which the original descriptions were based

Tulisan ini mengupas novel The Frog Princess (TFP) tentang permasalahan gender dalam literatur anak dengan melihatnya melalui teori penokohan dan teori gender. Makalah ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif untuk melihat fenomena yang terdapat dalam novel.

Baker is a fairy tale adapted from the work of the Grimm brothers’ fairy tale “The Frog Prince.” This paper analyzes the novel based on gender issues in children literature using gender and characterization theories. It uses a descriptive qualitative method to find the phenomena in the novel. The novel tries to break away from the women stereotypes, but the author is stuck on the motives of traditional fairy tales in general, so it does not reflect gender equality as contained in the title of the novel.Keywords: children literature, gender, stereotype

No full textThe reviewed monograph by E.D. Zilivinskaya is the fi rst fundamental research in the national historiography to address cult architecture of the Golden Horde. It summarizes massive material collected during archaeological digs on urban settlements, which were actively conducted since 1960s. The subject of this research are cult buildings: mosques, madrasa, khanqah, Christian temples and memorial buildings (mausoleums, vaults, fences of bedrock made under barrows, mainly reconstructed by their debris discovered by the archaeologists).
