Co-designing collective housing for a regenerative future: Lessons from Indigenous communities in Aotearoa New Zealand and South America
Authors: Besen Priscila
Published: January 2024

Since moving to Aotearoa New Zealand, I have been attempting to learn about Mātauranga Māori and understand how we can embed values from local cultures and traditional knowledges into the design of our future built environments. These learnings help me rethink architectural design and pedagogy not only here, but also in my home country, Brazil, and the wider South American context. In the global context of climate and ecological crises, Indigenous knowledge can help us learn to live lives with a closer connection to the natural environment, to be mindful of the use of natural resources and to be more collective-oriented. Indigenous perspectives are important in our transition to a regenerative future, where we aim to go beyond sustainability to create positive impacts for ecology, health and society. In this context, I have been working with a team of researchers from Auckland University of Technology and Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, Chile, on a project investigating co-design practices to develop better housing models with Indigenous communities. Indigenous concepts of ‘home’ are multidimensional and often extend beyond the physical and social environments where people live. Although there are diverse cultures across the world, fundamental ideals of ‘home’ are shared amongst many Indigenous communities, such as relationships that connect a person to all that surrounds them, connections to other people, living beings, land, ancestors, stories, languages, and traditions. Most housing options in colonised countries have tended to promote values of individualisation, private property rights and nuclear family units; public housing policies and architectural designs have often been imposed on indigenous communities based on non-indigenous ideals of good housing. However, more recently, these original values and collective forms of living have been re-emerging across the globe, with many successful examples of new collective housing co-designed with Indigenous communities. This presentation will share findings from this research carried out in Aotearoa New Zealand and South America, which investigates contemporary housing solutions co-designed with Indigenous communities. Case studies from different countries are explored, and interviews with architects reveal key lessons learned in participatory practices with residents. The findings show differences and similarities across the Pacific, highlighting key valuable shared principles that can be applied to all forms of housing for a regenerative future, such as multigenerational relationships, connection to the natural environment, shared spaces and resources and initiatives to create a real sense of community. The lessons learned about co-design processes can be valuable for designers working with collective housing in the Global South and other areas across the globe.
Memories and Reveries: photography, memory and diaspora
Authors: Hill Rodrigo
Published: January 2024

This presentation aims to explore the intersection of photography with notions of memory and diaspora as catalysers for the development of a lens-based model of representation connected to affect, cultural perception and nostalgia. I will discuss and present my recent creative practice research project titled Desacoplado: Memórias e Devaneios (Displacement: Memories and Reveries) exhibited at the Auckland Museum as part of Toró: é tudo tanto group exhibition from March to October 2023. The project compiles personal archival imagery produced throughout the last twenty years, marking temporal points that preceded or at times ran in parallel with migration experiences to and in Aotearoa. Drawing on Stuart Hall’s notions on diaspora and Svetlana Boym’s take on nostalgia I constructed a theoretical model to support and inform my creative practice developments. Hall asserted that diaspora is surrounded by a sense of loss and connection while Boym discusses nostalgia as a feeling of loss and displacement. These distinctive concepts and views were useful to understand my own condition as an immigrant in Aotearoa, displaced from my home environment and yet part of an ongoing process of becoming. To address these concepts I started a process of reviewing my photographic archive, looking for imagery that could fit a family album of some kind, ranging from snap-shots, family photographs and archival imagery re-worked through montage, cropping, printing and picture framing strategies. This process covered multiple iterative stages and ways of selecting, compiling, curating and presenting the photographs. These methodological stages were useful to shape a model to address the ways notions of nostalgia and diaspora can be discussed and represented through lens-based and curatorial approaches, positioning photography at core as both practice and research methodology. This led to the compilation of 18 photographs, covering various personal moments and responses to diasporic experiences both in Aotearoa and my home country Brasil. My presentation at the 2023 LINK conference will aim to unpack some of the creative decisions, ideas and processes connected to Desacoplado: Memórias e Devaneios, highlighting the value of photography and creative practice as means to address complex research concepts.
Cultivating global citizenship: Reciprocity, people-to-people relationships, and cultural acknowledgement for building true internationalisation
Authors: Azevedo Ana
Published: January 2024

The internationalisation of Higher Education is an evolving non-linear phenomenon, associated with the globalisation of the world economy in the way it affects the needs and objectives of education. Over the past decades it has increasingly become a fundamental part of governmental agendas, through the interconnections between student learning, employment, university governance, education diplomacy, knowledge economy, socio-economic impacts and countries’ strategies to influence international reputation. As a result, it affects global politics, and the world's economy. In a world divided by concepts such as developed and developing economies, colonisers and colonised nations or student sources and student destinations, internationalisation became entwined with historical legacies. It is marked by contemporary challenges that created barriers for the development of a truly reciprocal and collaborative approach to partnerships. The progressive adoption of English as the mainstream language for research publication, the use of migration policies and the concept of full tuition fees for international students reinforced a colonialist, westernised idea of the world that may ignore indigenous goals and epistemologies. While the principle of reciprocity is a key element in the internationalisation discourse, its practical application can be challenging due to historical imbalances. This presentation will explore possibilities where commonalities between Latin America and New Zealand historical, geographical, and social contexts could lead into the development of a more inclusive and equitable approach to internationalisation in Education. The presentation will delve in possible answers for the question: would it be possible to leverage the values brought by diaspora communities, in alignment with those established by the Māori culture, for the development of a new model of internationalisation strategy, valuing developing a more inclusive and equitable approach to internationalisation of higher education? It contributes to an expanded understanding ot the structural aspects of internationalisation through the proposition of non-colonial approaches and a commentary on practice.
The effectiveness of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy in the treatment of chronic low back pain
Authors: Lončarić Kelečić Iva
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Low back pain is the most prevalent chronic pain syndrome in clinical practice. Due to safer benefits, nonpharmacological, exercise-based treatments represent the first choice for chronic low back pain (CLBP). Recently, Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) has been suggested as a new treatment option for CLBP. The aim was to provide an overview of the effectiveness of ESWT in combination with exercise versus exercise alone in pain and disability reduction in CLBP through a systematic review of published randomised control trials (RCTs). Methods: Original RCTs related to the use of ESWT in CLBP were searched in PubMed, Cochrane’s library and the Physiotherapy Evidence Database back ten years from January 2023. The recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and MetaAnalysis statement and The Prisma in Exercise, Rehabilitation, Sport Medicine and SporTs scientific guidance were followed. Data on study information, Population characteristics, Intervention treatment, Control or comparators, and Outcomes were extracted. Outcomes of primary interest were pain and disability, observed before and after treatments. The results are presented systematically and narratively. Results and Discussion: Two eligible RCTs were included from the initial 30 identified. Despite the evident reduction in pain and disability in the ESWT groups, the significance of the outcome versus the control groups in the short and long-term periods is conflicting between studies. Conclusion: In treating CLBP, ESWT combined with exercises is to some extent clinically superior to exercises alone; however, evidence should be used with caution due to the lack of studies and existing confrontations.
Chromosomal deletion syndromes
Authors: Strujić Anđela , Kocijan Ivna
Published: January 2024

Chromosomes are structures composed of a DNA molecule and histone proteins that carry genetic information. They are located in the cell nucleus and become visible under light microscope during cell division. A karyogram is used to depict the number and structure of chromosomes, whereby a normal human karyogram has 46 chromosomes arranged in 23 homologous pairs. Changes in the number or structure of chromosomes lead to various genetic conditions and syndromes. Chromosomal deletions represent one of the most severe forms of chromosomal aberrations as they involve the loss of genetic material, causing severe disorders such as cri-du-chat, Wolf-Hirschhorn, Prader-Willi and Angelman syndromes. Prenatal diagnostic methods are used to check fetal growth and development and determine a type of fetal abnormality, if present, with commonly performed procedures including ultrasound, amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling and cordocentesis. Final diagnosis is established through laboratory methods such as karyotyping, fluorescence in situ hybridization and chromosomal microarray analysis.

Authors: Ramzi Nurul Raihana , Ahmad Che Bon , Hamzah Helmi , Othman Noriah
Published: January 2024

Urbanisation has increased stress levels, which has resulted in social issues that are expected to worsen in the future. Under these circumstances, it is believed that "horticultural therapy", an activity with diverse plant life, is very helpful in reducing physical and mental stress. Meanwhile the term “urban farming” in this context refers to the expansion of agricultural products inside of cities which increases options for people to access healthy and fresh food. Thus, believed to improve people's health and well-being by fostering interactions between people and plants. The relationship between urban farming and horticultural therapy to reduce urban stress is discussed in this paper, which explore the articles published in SCOPUS between year 2010 and year 2022. A systematic approach using PRISMA software was used to addresses data identification, evaluation, exclusion, and inclusion. Results showed the effects of horticultural therapy with urban farming elements were associated with more than one (1) horticultural therapy interaction, where a nature-based element was a potential source of viable and significant outcomes. Hence, this exploration emphasised the value of fostering horticulture therapy connections with urban farming. This review formulated the preliminary conceptual framework of the relationship of urban farming and horticultural therapy to reduce urban stress. It shows a constructive interaction between urban farming and horticultural therapy as the potential constructs to reduce urban stress (improves mental and physical health). This conceptual framework will be used as the basis for further research undertaking.
Evaluating Bus Transit System for Efficient Last Mile Transportation in Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Shah Alam
Authors: Andi Andi , Mohd Amin Mohd Zamreen
Published: January 2024

As the leading example in sustainable transportation, universities should have an optimal and precedent system. Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) campus provides bus transportation for students. However, with the vast coverage of the campus area, the bus stops should be distributed evenly. This research aims to evaluate the bus stop position to find the optimal last mile distance concerning the principle of Universal Design, precisely the aspect of low physical effort. This research uses the method of space syntax to analyse the spatial arrangement of urban environments, including transportation systems. It is based on the idea that the spatial structure of an environment affects its usability and accessibility and that the arrangement of elements can be optimised to improve accessibility and reduce physical effort. As a result, this research finds that UiTM's current bus stop distribution needs to be improved. It should have filled the demand for several spots, such as dormitories, sports centers, and faculties. Adding bus stops or bus volume is the appropriate solution to this finding, considering the growth of student numbers and the upcoming LRT station development. This research has proven a new depth perspective by combining topologic, angular, and metriclogic. The findings of this research are beneficial in planning bus stops that carefully consider the universal design for all users wherever they live and work.
Critical Factors Influencing Bid Mark-up Decision in Public Street Project – A Review
Authors: Zainul Azlan Huzairi , Saidan Khaderi Shamsida , Bakri Anis Sazira
Published: January 2024

Deciding a bid price with an appropriate mark-up added to the estimated project cost is essential for the contractors' business survival. However, the competitive environment had influenced contractors to offer the lowest bid price, leading to the submission of unrealistically low prices to win bids. This practice can impact disputes and adversarial relationships between parties during construction and provide an additional risk to the project delay, cost overrun, quality compromise and failure to complete the project. Therefore, this paper aims to provide an overview of the literature on critical factors influencing bid mark-up decisions in public street projects. The objectives are to identify methods and tools, including the critical factors in determining the contractors' bid mark-up decision. The approach is based on analysing pertinent publications on the theme. The top five (5)ranked factors influencing contractors' decision on bid mark-up size can be found in the literature: the number of bidders, the competitiveness of other bidders, relationship and experience with clients, experience on similar projects and project size. Besides that, the determination of mark-up size is based on experience, intuition, past bidding results, past bidding patterns ofcompetitors, the client's tender estimate, the client's record, and financial ability.

Authors: Yusof Mohd Reeza , Jabar Izatul Laili , Nawawi Abdul Hadi , Mohd Nawi Mohd Nasrun
Published: January 2024

In Malaysia, the concept of prefabrication is known as Industrialised Building System (IBS). In terms of cost, time, productivity, and quality, IBS is certainly beneficial based on previous local and international research. As part of Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB), CIDB's Construction 4.0 Strategic Plan 2020-2025, the Malaysian construction industry is being urged to employ innovative construction techniques. These initiatives illustrate the Malaysian government's commitment to addressing the IBS agenda. Even though numerous things have been done to enhance the IBS adoption in Malaysia, various issues have arisen to bring about delays, disputes, miscommunications, and payment issues affecting the IBS players. Thus, the primary purpose of this research is to identify current issues and assist policymakers and IBS players in mitigating those issues. The literature review was the first phase of the research, with the secondary data derived from relevant books, journals, articles, theses, dissertations, conference proceedings and reports. The second phase involved the collection of primary data, wherein the information was collected through a preliminary study. The research findings showed that IBS construction still faces challenges and issues when adopted by the industry, where four (4) out of five (5) interviewees stated that the primary integration issues are teamworkor collaboration and procurement. This paper aims to present a literature review and preliminary survey findings related to establishing pertinent integration issues and challenges.
Green Practice: An Empirical Investigation on The Interiors of Healthy Restaurants in Penang
Authors: Chua Shi Ying , Abdul Aziz Muhammad Firzan
Published: January 2024

Green practices are typically categorisedinto four (4) areas: food and beverage, service, management, and the environment. The implementation of green practices, particularly those emphasising green interior design, however, is still in its infancy state and remains scarce. This study delves into the realm of green practices within the context of healthy restaurants, with two (2) primary objectives. First, to understand the interior design rationale of healthy restaurants in Penang, and second, to explore the perception of restaurateurs regardingthe implementation of green practices for the interiors of their respective healthy restaurant. To gather primary data, the study conducted semi-structured, key informant interviews with restaurateurs in Penang, Malaysia, who met specific criteria which include the adoption of food-focused green practices, the presence of aesthetically pleasing interior designs, and the given positive reviews for both food quality and restaurant ambiance. The findings revealed that these restaurant owners effectively conveyed their concepts through their interior designs, using natural materials like wood, cement, and indoor plants. While they demonstrated awareness of environmental sustainability and health concerns, their understanding of green practices was somewhat basic. They were more focused on applying green practices to food and beverages than on creating a green interior ambiance.
Relación entre el islam y la ciencia:
Authors: Flaquer Garcia Jaime
Published: January 2024

La relación entre “razón y fe” o “ciencia y religión” tiene una articulación particular en el islam por el hecho de que el Corán es interpretado como una revelación dirigida al intelecto y por el esplendor de las ciencias durante el período de oro de esta civilización en la Edad Media. Después de su derrumbamiento, con la interpelación del racionalismo científico del s.XIX y con la intencionalidad apologética del islam, por una parte, y de liberación contra el colonialismo, el reformismo islámico propone “volver a la razón” y a la ciencia. Sin embargo, nacerá una corriente de “interpretación científica del Corán” que será más bien una islamización de la ciencia y no una racionalización del islam.
Armonía entre ciencia y religión según los bahá’ís
Authors: Marqués Utrillas José Luis
Published: January 2024

Los conocimientos humanos han variado según las épocas y los lugares. Las religiones son más tradicionales y reacias a los cambios. Las ciencias han tenido otra evolución más rápida. El proceso secularizador ha llevado a un distanciamiento de la ciencia respecto de las religiones y un mayor o menor rechazo hacia ellas. Aquí se plantea si la oposición es inevitable o si puede haber un respeto mutuo que avance incluso a una armonía entre ambos campos del conocimiento humano. El análisis de las religiones más conocidas se complementa con la visión bahá’í de esas mismas creencias religiosas y de su relación con los conocimientos científicos.
History of the Children of Israel Between the Noble Qur’an and the Book of Exodus
Authors: Ezzaky Abdellah
Published: January 2024

The second book of the Pentateuch is called Exodus, from the Greek word for “departure,” because its central event was understood by the Septuagint’s translators to be the departure of the Israelites from Egypt. Its Hebrew title, Shemoth (“Names”), is from the book’s opening phrase, “These are the names….” Continuing the history of Israel from the point where the Book of Genesis leaves off, Exodus recounts the Egyptian oppression of Jacob’s ever-increasing descendants and their miraculous deliverance by God through Moses, who led them across the Red Sea to Mount Sinai where they entered. This article attempts to study the historical aspect of the Book of Exodus compared to the Noble Qur’an, adopting the comparative historical methodology.

La exportación del habitus social y democrático como garantía tácita en la búsqueda de la autonomía estratégica abierta en la Unión Europea: el caso de la Global Gateway en África
Authors: Gómez Laorga Ricardo
Published: January 2024

En un sistema internacional tendente a una mayor anarquía y polaridad, desde la Unión Europea se está apostando por fórmulas de cooperación inclusivas y garantes a asegurar y exportar correctamente el sistema político y social europeo, el cual está caracterizado por una salvaguarda de libertades y principios normativos básicos. Mientras estos aspectos se defienden en la propia Unión Europea gracias a la implantación de ambiciosas políticas como el Pilar Social Europeo, desde Bruselas se está apostando concienzudamente por asegurar una voz independiente en el sistema internacional. En este sentido, la defensa de paradigmas de política exterior como la autonomía estratégica suponen un claro ejemplo de este principio, siendo a su vez la recién implantada herramienta de cooperación Global Gateway un ejemplo fáctico.

Published: January 2024

Sintuvu cultural values in the reality of Kaili people's lives are extracted from various meaningful events as a learning process that forms awareness about togetherness. The value components that make up Sintuvu into the principle of togetherness and a symbol of unity in Kaili society include the values of harmony, kinship, the spirit of sharing, solidarity, consensus, responsibility and openness. From the results of initial observations on the ethnoparenting of the Kaili tribe in Palu City, it was found that the cultural values of the Kaili tribe, especially the cultural values of sintuvu are still not optimally applied in the people of Palu City, even feared to be increasingly displaced by western parenting patterns that are different from the values of local wisdom. As for Palu City as Kaili Land, of course, the most important thing in applying Kaili cultural values, one of which is Sintuvu cultural values. And Lere Village is one of the villages in Palu City where the majority of the population is Kaili tribe. So, the author is interested in conducting research on the application of Sintuvu cultural values of the Kaili tribe, with the research title "Application of Ethnoparenting based on Sintuvu Cultural Values of the Kaili Tribe in Developing Social Emotional Aspects of Children in Palu City".

When Faces Disappear – A Call for Combining Autoethnography and Complexity Thinking in Future Research on the Intersection of Physical Spaces, Technology and Healthcare Communication Education during COVID
Authors: CHIRIAC Vlad
Published: January 2024

Autoethnography and complexity thinking should be carefully combined when studying the intersection of physical spaces, technology and healthcare communication education as it took place during COVID. This is the call that stems from a sequential examination of existing literature. Initially, this process identified that existing research tendencies emphasize the need to understand the role physical spaces have in educational processes and highlight the demand to inquire about the opinions of educators regarding these spaces. Subsequently, analysing the manner in which these tendencies are reflected in the literature connected to teaching during COVID, showed that published research demonstrates the evocative potential of educator autoethnographies. Concomitantly, three themes stood out in the examined works: 1. physical spaces form the taken-for-granted skeleton of human existence which can be further explored, 2. matters of communication dominate the literature and set-out many yet to be probed questions and 3. physical spaces, technology and education are undeniably and complexly connected. Altogether, these findings help make the argument that future studies should investigate different instances of the following overarching question: what can be learned about teaching healthcare communication during COVID by using a complexity sensitized autoethnographic investigation focused on the physical spaces-technology-education intersection?
Intérêt pédagogique des documents authentiques dans l’enseignement-apprentissage du français au Burundi
Authors: NDEREYIMANA Edith , HAVUGIMANA Pascal
Published: January 2024

This study is conducted with the aim of showing the interest of authentic documents in the teaching of French in Burundi. Il starts from a problem according to which the level of the pupils drops more and more. The starting hypothesis is that authentic documents, which are an essential tool in the teaching of a foreign language, would not be used enough by teachers and that this would be one of the causes of the low level of students in French. Through a survey of teachers, this work was able to show the opinions of each other as well as their wishes and suggestions. It has been noticed that most teachers use only the book as a teaching document, which means that some skills are not developed. This state of affairs depends on the one hand on the teachers who do not make a lot of effort to complete the already existing book, but on the other hand, the situation depends on other factors including the lack of training in the use of these tools as well as technical and maintenance problems including the lack of electricity in the classrooms.

The paper represents the archaeological materials found in 2020 during the excavations of the cemetery Malaya Ryazan I, located in the south-western part of Samara Bend. Four burial complexes were recorded in the excavation, which find clear analogies among the materials of the Novinki cultural type of the Saltovo-Mayaki cultural community. Typical are gravestone structures in the form of stone slabs and memorial sites marked with clusters of livestock bones, as well as traces of ritual destruction of graves aimed at neutralizing the deceased. Analysis of the burial rites and the burial inventory of the Malaya Ryazan I necropolis shows that its functioning generally fits into the period of the middle – second half of the 8th century.

In the 70s of the twentieth century, the Sapalli culture of the Bronze Age (2200–1300 BC) that was formed on the territory of Northern Bactria was introduced into scientific discourse, based on studied sources in the direction of historical and archaeological research. The inhabitants of the Sapalli culture were considered extremely skilled in handicrafts in addition to farming and animal husbandry. Among the types of crafts (ceramics, construction, blacksmithing, etc.), jewelry making is especially distinguished by its unique types and forms. The pins that form the basis of jewelry found in the monuments of the Sapalli culture are an important material source for illuminating the culture of the Bronze Age of the people of Central Asia, and, they embody the lifestyle, culture, art, and traditions of the people of the Bronze Age. In addition to other types of jewelry (earrings, diadems, beads, necklaces, bracelets, amulets, rings, and bracelets), many examples of beads have been found in the monuments of Sapallitepe, Djarkutan, Mulalitepe, Bustan VI, VII, Tilla Bulak of Sapalli culture, their typological analysis helps to study their essence in-depth and, the development of their analogues. In this article, more than 140 pins that belong to the class of jewelry for a head identified from the monuments of the Sapalli culture are divided into types, groups, and classes according to the shape of the head part of the pins. Among the types of pins by the shape and purpose, pins with zoomorphic and anthropomorphic figures in the head part, rosette-shaped pins and pins with a star-shaped head part, which are rare artifacts, widespread among the cultures of the Oxus civilization, stand out.
Still – these are Heeltaps (on the topic of heeled footwear in the Middle Ages)

Among materials from the Volga Bulgaria of the 11th–13th centuries, as well as the territories under Bulgarian rule, forged oval-shaped articles reminiscent of shoe heel section can be found. There is no unanimous opinion concerning these finds among researchers. A considerable assortment of these items was excavated at the Rozhdestvensky settlement in the Perm Region. Analysis showed that they were made of raw steel, with the base a half-oval plate with folded edges and with three apertures for little cylinder-capped nails, the cap standing out on the item’s surface.Cylinder nuts were put on the nails from the inner side and were forged when heated. The nuts held a leather plate in place, which was thought to be a lower lift of the built-up heel. Thus the items under scrutiny served as heeltaps. It is recognized that first heels appeared in the 9th century as a feature of Persian riders’ footwear. They helped to hold the feet firmly in the stirrups when the warrior stood on the stirrups to shoot with a bow or to slash with a sabre more efficiently. Volga Bulgaria had close relations with Iran, therefore Bulgar riders may well have adopted a new kind of footwear. Even though there is no other evidence save the iron heeltaps, it may be assumed that heeled footwear was adopted in Volga Bulgaria sooner than in Rus and European countries, where it happened in the 16th century. This fact is essential for both studying the footwear of the Middle Ages and tactics of fighting on horseback.

The article presents new findings of Tatar tombstones from the period of the Kazan Khanate, discovered during epigraphic expeditions in the regions of Trans-Kama area in 2019 and 2022, as well as identified through archaeological research in Kazan over the last decade. A total of eleven stones of varying preservation, dated to the 15th–16th centuries, are presented. The paper includes the deciphering of the epitaph texts with translations into Russian, as well as the physical parameters and geocoordinates of the monuments. Preliminary analysis indicates that during the specified period, the traditions of manufacturing and installing burial monuments, characteristic of the Volga Bulgaria era, continued, thereby maintaining continuity. Certain details and pattern elements suggest that in the territory of the Kazan Khanate during the specified period, a distinct, independent school of stone-carving art had emerged.

A short essay about the second largest of group imported container amphoras on the territory of the Golden Horde which was named in scientific literature «amphoras of SSS stamp group» is presented in the article. In materials from Eastern Europe this group was singled-out by I.V. Volkov. He tracked evolution of this group throughout the 12th – 13th centuries. The authors have made an overview of the opinions of different researchers about the place of their production. At the moment, at least four options have been proposed: Palestine, Cilicia (?), Thessaloniki, Western Georgia. An opinion was expressed that it was unlawful to single out this group of amphoras. All proposed hypotheses are based on indirect data and logical constructions based on different conditions. On the opinion of the authors of the article, the amphoras of the SSS stamp group came from the territory of Western Georgia during the period of flourishing of the centralized state in Georgia. An estimate of the number of finds and the geography of their distribution are given. Also most characteristic features of the vessels of this group are characterized. Considering that during the Golden Horde period, amphoras of the SSS stamp group arrived during a few decades in the middle of the third quarter of 13th century, their identification is very important for revealing of the earliest complexes on the settled settlements of the Golden Horde.

ATLAS LETNJEG RASPUSTA
Authors: Zobec Andrea
Published: January 2024

Rad se bavi istraživanjem dečije per­cepcije javnog gradskog prostora kao poligona za igru kroz lične uspomene autora na letnje raspuste provedene u novobeogradskom bloku 70a. Rekonstrukcijom sećanja kroz crteže, mentalne mape, fotografije i tekst, definišu se stvarni i imaginarni prostori važni u formiranju autoro­vog ideala prostora kao poligona za slobodnu igru. Rad spaja dve teme: odnos prema gradu i dečiju maštu. Teo­rijsko istraživanje se poziva na filozofe i teoretičare pros­tora i arhitekture, koji su se bavili javnim prostorima i prostorima dečije igre. Istraživanje teme Letnjeg raspusta zasniva se na idejnom, fenomenološkom, sentimentalnom, privatnom i poetskom nivou. Razumevanjem letnjeg ras­pusta kao fenomena za kojim kod čoveka nastavlja da postoji potreba čak i u odraslom dobu, otvara se mo­gućnost reintepretacije njegove prvobitne funkcije u peri­odu zrelosti zarad stvaranja novog iskustva i doživljaja prostora i vremena na način sličan onome koji se ima tokom detinjstva. Cilj rada je ponovno buđenje osećaja slobode koja se ostvarivala na letnjem raspustu kroz igru, čiji je integralni deo kreativno stvaranje.
