In this work we seek to approach the choice of the Republic of Angola for the ISDB-T telebroadcasting system. The experimental results of the ISDB-T digital transmission system in the Republic of Angola are Execelente. Currently, the Japanese terrestrial digital broadcasting system (ISDB-T) is used in 14 countries around the world (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Japan, Peru, Paraguay, El Salvador, Uruguay, Honduras, Venezuela, Philippines, Botswana) and 6 more countries (Angola, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Guatemala, Ecuador, Nicaragua) have adopted this system. The study shows that ISDB-T is a system applicable in our country, as even with the transmitter operating at 50% of its maximum power, the signal is received in a large part of the city of Luanda, with failures only in regions far from the center urban. The implementation of a fully digital transmitter that is foreseen, the increase of the transmitter's power, among other changes, may provide better advantages in implementing the ISDBT in the Republic of Angola. The commitment comes at a time when Angola plans to cover the entire national territory, starting in 2023.

TV broadcast systems are migrating from analogue to digital broadcasting system. Some countries in the world have completed this migration since a few years ago. America decided to stop broadcasting analog television in 2009. In Asia, Singapore launched this technology in 2004 and Malaysia implemented in 2006 (Depkominfo, 2009). With so many countries are migrating to digital broadcasting system, there are many business models that can be referred for organizing digital television broadcasts. In this writing, several business models that are used in the world will be reviewed and analyzed and the results can be a reference to determine the appropriate business model according to the organizers.

This essay tries to think with Plato (not against nor from him) the idea of justice, which structures the city and the human soul in the Republic, and the platonic self-critique displayed in several late dialogues, viewed as a basis for a philosophy that can make sense of human existence in the bordering city. The bordering city –itself a metaphor of Limit–, inhabited by intermediary characters (love and creation, reminiscence and reason, halfway between the Ideal city and the cave), is what makes possible the interchange between transcendent Being (the Good, Beauty, Truth) and Becoming (which characterizes human existence). The bordering city is Plato’s greatest discovery, through which we can think an alternative city and the corresponding human condition, and even the world (cosmos). Plato gave the necessary clues to come to this alternative conception, and his recourse to myth can be seen as a symbolic addition that allows access to truth. What is, what exists and happens, is an unceasing return of “archetypes” (ideas joined with symbols). This gives consistency to what is, what exists and what we ourselves are. Philosophical truth is the awareness of the fact that we live within these archetypes, relatively to which we determine and decide our existence. Still, Plato’s thought, as a philosophy of limit, remains distant from the sensible and changing individual, which can be recreated by Limit and the being of Limit. In fact, what is recreated in Limit is a being (perceptible by the senses, singular, and in change): a being of limit which, through ideas and symbols can become accessible to understanding.

                      This article throws light on the distress a liminal experience could give for an individual or to a community who belong to a specific ethnicity, regarding the novel Snow written by the Turkish writer, Orhan Pamuk. Turkey located geographically in the edges of landscapes where the east and the west meet encounters this liminality over a couple of decades and stays as the setting of the novel Snow. In the liminal state, people fall in the breaks and crevices of the social structure which they think.The liminal stage individual encounters, a period of instability and vulnerability. Orhan Pamuk's Snow reflects the unpleasant experience of progress from the Islam arranged Ottoman Empire to the Republic of Turkey. The setting of the novel, the town of Kars, a periphery city fringe to Turkey stands as a representative of Turkey's minimization from the world. Pamuk supplements the fruitless condition of the city all through this novel.

Urban identity is formed by the entire values and characteristics of a city. Urban transformation is the strategies and activities for maintaining environmental quality and life balance. The concepts of urban identity and urban transformation, which have been quite popular in Turkey recently, are the grounds of this study. The socio-cultural and economic conditions, which have changed as a result of globalization experienced all over the world, make it compulsory to re-shape cities, so urban identity concept has gradually become more important. The aim of this study is to reveal disidentification in Turkey caused by urban transformation implementations, particularly via the example of Isparta. As Isparta is a typical Anatolian city developed after the proclamation of the Republic, it was considered worthy of analysis. At the end of the study, It was observed that Isparta had developed in terms of planning until 1960s. It was concluded that turning points had occurred in urban transformation between the years 1960-1980 and after 1980, these turning points spoiled urban identity, and therefore, the city has developed and globalized without any identity since then.

ResumenEn los últimos años se han realizado en Costa Rica algunos esfuerzos para desarrollar normativa urbana que facilite la intervención dentro de las ciudades existentes, con el fin de revitalizar los centros urbanos y atraer nuevamente a la población que por diversas causas renunció a vivir en la ciudad. Las estrategias de Renovación Urbana han desempeñado un papel importante en las transformaciones socio-espaciales que han experimentado muchas ciudades del mundo, las cuales incorporan herramientas novedosas para intervenir dentro del entorno construido y contemplan una serie de instrumentos que permiten corregir las tendencias negativas que genera el modelo de ciudad dispersa, y a su vez devolver la funcionalidad y el atractivo a sectores estratégicos con el fin de construir un nuevo modelo de ciudad más sostenible e inclusiva. El presente artículo tiene como propósito analizar las posibilidades que existen en el país para implementar estrategias de renovación urbana, tomando como marco base la legislación urbana existente. Con el fin de evidenciar este supuesto se analiza la normativa vigente y se pone en evidencia como dicha legislación faculta a los municipios para ejercer competencias en la planificación urbana y el ordenamiento de su territorio. Se da un énfasis particular a la viabilidad para desarrollar e implementar estrategias de renovación urbana en la escala local, la cual se fundamenta en la Ley de Planificación urbana 4240 y se fortalece con los avances más recientes que se han dado en el país en materia de actualización normativa.AbstractIn Costa Rica, in recent years, efforts have been made to develop urban regulations to facilitate intervention within existing cities, with the aim of revitalizing urban centers and attracting the population that for a number of reasons has renounced living in the city. Urban renewal strategies have played an important role in the socio-spatial transformations that have been experienced in those cities around the world which incorporate creative tools to intervene within the built environment and contemplate a series of instruments that allow to correct the negative tendencies generated by the model of dispersed city and at the same time return the functionality and appeal to¡ strategic sectors in order to build a new model of a more sustainable and inclusive city.The purpose of this article is to analyze the possibilities that exist, based on existing urban legislation in the country, to implement strategies of urban renewal. In order to test this assumption, the current legislation is analyzed, evidencing the degree to which it empowers municipalities to exercise its prerogatives in urban planning and the organization of their territory. Particular emphasis is given to the feasibility of developing and implementing urban renewal strategies at the local scale, which is based on the Ley de Planificación Urbana N° 4240 and is strengthened by the most recent advances inthe country in terms of normative update.

Abstract In the past nine hundred years Bitola has undergone a string of administrative and political rises and falls. In the course of the 16th century the city grew to have a very large population and become a huge economic and geopolitical centre of the large province of Rumelia in the Ottoman Empire. However, as a result of some overwhelming political and military events that played out during the 20th century (the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, the Balkan wars, WW1, WW2 and other economic, political, technical and technological developments that occurred in the world and in the country) Bitola was reduced to a mere local city in economic, geopolitical and population terms. The immediate economic and population expansion of Bitola is presented through an exact numeric and cartographic overview of spatial-temporal changes in the city’s development in the past two centuries. For the purposes of rendering a more accurate image, we have compared Bitola’s population, administrative and geopolitical role with a number of major Balkan cities.

According to assured resources of hydrocarbons the Republic of Kazakhstan (RK) is among ten largest oil countries in the world, trailing only some states of the Middle East, Latin America, as well Russia and the USA. Public health state is the one of most important indices of social development, the manifestation of the economic and sanitaryhygienic welfare, as well as national defense capability and cultural potential of the state. In relation with the intensive development of oil and gas fields the problems of environmental protection and healthcare of the population in these regions occur critically. Therefore, it causes keen interest both from the side of researches and practical health care workers. Rapid development of the oil and gas industry leads to changes in a medical and demographic situation of given regions that is related both with the natural migration of the population and other migratory processes. According to data of the Ministry of Energetics and natural resources of RK, the Karachaganak oil-gas condensate deposit is considered to be the one of the largest in the world. For the next 40 years, the field is becoming the stable financial donor of the country. Currently Karachaganak field is considered to be the one of the largest investment projects in Kazakhstan. The studied oil and gas condensate field is located in the Burlin district of West Kazakhstan region, which is 140 km far from the city of Uralsk and 160 km far from the city of Orenburg. The field was discovered in 1984.

The purpose of this article is to reveal the perspectives of development of the region in the post COVID period, demonstrating the existing trends and the potential of advanced industries. The hypothesis is that Nur-Sultan has the opportunity to move to a qualitatively new level of socio-economic development through the implementation of the innovative potential of the city. The relevance of this issue is emphasized by the recovery of society and the world economy from the shocks of the pandemic, one of the tasks of this period is not to miss the opportunity to instill useful changes in society in its daily life and to increase the effectiveness. The ending year for all residents of Kazakhstan has become a time of severe trials. Due to the extraordinary situation, the attention was directed primarily at the capital, but everyone was looking for a way out. Many regions of the republic have demonstrated the ability to take a blow and seek internal reserves. The coronavirus has forced a full-scale reassessment of values. Basically, the pandemic just once again reminded of the long-known and somewhere banal things: food security, medical sovereignty, organizational resource, law and order. But things are banal because they have been tested from generation to generation. World Bank experts call 2020 and 2021 the most difficult years for the economy of Kazakhstan over the past two decades. The consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic were more devastating to the economy than the crises of 2008 and 2015.
