Penelitian ini membahas arti khusus yang terdapat pada permakaman Belanda Peneleh di Kota Surabaya. Permakaman Belanda Peneleh dipilih sebagai objek penelitian karena permakaman tersebut memiliki makam dan prasasti lama dengan berbagai bentuk dan usia yang relatif utuh. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui arti khusus yang terdapat pada permakaman Belanda Peneleh. Berdasarkan arti khusus yang terdapat pada makam Belanda Peneleh dapat dipahami cara kita menjaga, melindungi dan mengembangkannya. Data tentang nilai penting diperoleh dari hasil pengamatan lapangan dan studi pustaka, baik tentang kompleks makam maupun yang berkaitan dengan kota Surabaya kuno serta tentang perkembangan agama di Surabaya. Data dianalisis lalu diintepretasi untuk mengetahui arti khusus dari permakaman Belanda Peneleh. Data nisan yang bisa dibaca dianalisis tentang bahannya, kondisi kerusakan, isi inskripsi yang ada, serta hiasan yang digunakan. Data tersebut dikorelasikan dengan data sejarah yang diperoleh dari kajian pustaka. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa permakaman Belanda Peneleh memiliki arti khusus sejarah, ilmu pengetahuan, agama, dan kebudayaan yang dapat digunakan sebagai bahan pembelajaran untuk masyarakat. Dengan adanya penelitian ini, diharapkan bahwa permakaman Belanda Peneleh dapat dimanfaatkan untuk kepentingan pendidikan yang dapat diakses semua kalangan dan memberi pemahaman mengenai sejarah, masyarakat, dan budaya orang-orang Belanda di Indonesia, serta relevansinya pada masa sekarang.This study discusses the significance of the Peneleh Dutch Cemetery in Surabaya. The Peneleh Dutch Cemetery was chosen as the object of research due to the feature of old tombs and inscriptions, in various shapes and ages, that are relatively complete. The purpose of this study was to determine the special meaning of the Peneleh Dutch Cemetery. The significance of the Peneleh Dutch Cemetery may enlighten on the means to protect and develop it. Data on the importance of value were obtained from field observations and literature studies, both about the tomb complex and those related to the ancient city of Surabaya as well as about the development of religion in Surabaya. The data were analyzed and then interpreted to find out the special meaning of the Peneleh Dutch Cemetery. The legible data of the headstones were analyzed with regard to the material, the condition of damage, the content of the inscriptions, and the decorations. The data were compared to historical data extracted from literature reviews. Analysis results suggest the Peneleh Dutch Cemetery has special historical, scientific, religious, and cultural meanings that can be used as learning materials for the community. It is hoped that the Dutch Cemetery can be used for educational purposes that can be accessed by all groups and provide an understanding of the history, society and culture of the Dutch people in Indonesia and their relevance today.

Villages around Lake Batur, Bangli District, Bali Province have many inscriptions kept in their puras. The inscriptions have been experiencing a transformation of significance which is very different from the original meaning and function of an inscription. This article is meant to reveal the process of transformation of the inscriptions kept in the temples in the vicinity of Lake Batur. Based on the results of field observations and literature studies have been known that there are ancient inscriptions kept in at least five temples in the villages around Lake Batur. The inscriptions contain a very significant historical and socio-cultural data about local history. However, historians and archaeologist are very difficult to access the data. There has been a change of how the community sees the significance of an inscription, shifting from a charter to a very sacred relic. Such changes must be addressed wisely by the researchers and the community as the owner and "keeper" of such inscriptions. The shift of meaning is indeed as a naturally cultural process. It is, however, I expect that the historical data contained in the inscription can still be accessed and used academically to reconstruct the history and community identity in the region.

This work was conducted at hilly farms of Cameron Highlands to model the incidences of soil erosion and landslides using historical data and field observations. IfSAR data with spatial resolution of 5 m was used which enable clear observation and delineation of the geographic features within the study area. Field visits were conducted to various places where landslides occurred on agricultural farms in order to validate the model. Also, the rate of soil erosions was evaluated using geospatial techniques. The potential landslide event and its probability of occurrence were combined using bivariate statistical analysis. The results revealed that most of the landslides incidents were occurred at areas with intensive agricultural activities with no proper erosion control measures. It was gathered that more than 75% of landslides occurred in agricultural activities areas are under sheltered farms. The annual soil erosion rates in both Telom and Bertom Catchments ware 38 ton /ha/year and 73.9 ton /ha/year respectively. It was revealed that, there is high risk of erosion-induced landslides in agricultural farms. However, the erosion induced landslide map shows that most the landslide occurred close to the rivers. This indicated that both agricultural operations and proximity to rivers are influencing factors for the incidences.

Based on an analysis of John Exner’s peer-reviewed published work from 1959 to 2007, plus a brief comment for an editorial in Rorschachiana, the author draws a comprehensive picture of the scientific work of this outstanding personality. The article is divided into three sections: (1) the experimental studies on the Rorschach, (2) the clinical studies using the Rorschach, and (3) Exner’s “testament,” which we draw from the last paper he saw published before his death (Exner, 2001/2002). The experimental studies were aimed at better understanding the nature of the test, in particular the respective roles of perception and projection in the response process. These fundamental studies led to a deeper understanding of the complex mechanisms involved in the Rorschach responses and introduced some hypotheses about the intentions of the author of the test. The latter were subsequently confirmed by the preparatory sketches and documents of Hermann Rorschach, which today can be seen at the H. Rorschach Archives and Museum in Bern (Switzerland). Exner’s research has evidenced the notion that the Rorschach is a perceptive-cognitive-projective test.

In-depth analysis of international and Russia’s experiences with implementing fiscal rules is presented. Theoretical and empirical evidences are suggested in favor of retaining the present fiscal rules with some modifications aimed at ensuring: a) a relatively stable level of federal budget expenditure with guaranteed full execution of all commitments; b) countercyclical fiscal policy, based on flexibleand proper reaction to revenue changes; and c) robustness of fiscal rules to internal and external shocks. The main new features suggested include modified calculation of the oil base price, different measurement of cyclical fiscal revenues, lower size of structural fiscal balance, and thorough specification of sources for each item of the balance. The modified rules envisage increased flexibility by relaxing to a pre-set extent and for a pre-set time spending limits in response to extreme shocks. The suggested version of fiscal rules has been tested by application to historical data for 2005-2015, and macro projections for 2015-2025.

The article describes content of original and relevant but virtually forgotten thesis of V.V. Voronov on lighting of production site interiors by means of overhead natural (using three types of skylights) and artificial illumination, in order to elaborate scientific methodology for architectural design of more qualitative luminous environment on the basis of comprehensive approach and enhanced criteria framework of its evaluation using light engineering parameters. The thesis is unique in terms of the scope and quality of field and laboratory observations which are reflected not only in the text but also in the graphical attachments, namely photos, figures, schemes, drawings, charts, nomograms, and diagrams accompanied by specific measured or calculated parameters. The first part of the thesis contains theoretical basics and results of field observations conducted by different methods. This second part is the exposition of chapter 3 of the V.V. Voronov’s candidate thesis (1985). It describes the methodology for and the results of the experiments by means of planar and volumetric light simulation using the architectural lighting simulating assembly (chamber) which were conducted in MARKHI in 1970–1985.
