The Schleswig Example, in comparison to other European Border Regions Peter Dragsbo 1 This contribution to the anthology is the result of a research work, carried out in 2013-14 as part of the research program at Museum Sønderjylland – Sønderborg Castle, the museum for Danish-German history in the Schleswig/ Slesvig border region. Inspired by long-term investigations into the cultural encounters and mixtures of the Danish-German border region, I wanted to widen the perspective and make a comparison between the application of architecture in a series of border regions, in which national affiliation, identity and power have shifted through history. The focus was mainly directed towards the old German border regions, whose nationality changed in the wave of World War I: Alsace (Elsaβ), Lorraine (Lothringen) and the western parts of Poland (former provinces of Posen and Westpreussen).

    Mariusz KULESZA Dorota KACZYŃSKA Department of Political Geography and Regional Studies University of Łódź, POLAND No. 11 MULTINATIONAL CULTURAL HERITAGE OF THE EASTERN PART OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF POLAND AND LITHUANIA Poland is a country with the largest territorial variation in the history of Europe. These changes involved not only the temporary gaining and losing some provinces that were later regained (as was the case for most European countries), but a transition of the country from its natural geographical frames deep into neighbouring ecumenes, while losing its own historical borders in the process. There were also times when the Polish state would disappear from the map of Europe for extended periods. Poland is also a country which for centuries was a place for foreigners where foreigners settled, lead here by various reasons, and left their mark, to a smaller or greater extent in the country's history. They also left numerous places in the Republic that became important not only for Poles. Today, these places belong to both Polish and non-Polish cultures and they become a very significant element of our cultural heritage, a deposit within Polish borders. Up until mid-14th century, Poland was a medium-sized, mostly ethnically homogenous country which faced west both culturally and economically. The eastern border of the country was also the border of Latin Christianity, with the Orthodox Ruthenia and Pagan Lithuania beyond it. In the second half of the 14th century, this situation changed significantly. First, the Red Ruthenia and Podolia were annexed by Poland, and another breakthrough came with the union with Lithuania, which was a Eastern European superpower back then.

These bricks are manufactured from clay, which are obtained from agricultural land. Excess use of clay result in loss of fertile soil and diversion of agricultural land for brick manufacturing. It also involves of burning of bricks by coal and wood which results in production of greenhouse gases leading to environmental pollution. An effort for alternative approach in the manufacturing of brick was accomplished by using industrial by-product like foundry sand and eco sand derived from dolomitic lime stone with cement as key ingredients. In India there are many industries which generate foundry sand which is been dumped into vacant ground as waste. Dumping industrial waste into ground may be hazardous in nature; their disposal is a major concern. Recycling such waste by utilizing them into building materials is a moderate solution to reduce the pollution issues. Eco sand is the secondary product of rock after the separation of lime component.

Therefore, design is the central factor of innovative humanization of technologies and the crucial factor of cultural and economic exchange .Design is also a tool for innovation in mature markets where technological developments bring only marginal improvements to the end-user, and in low tech markets. Good design can increase sales revenues and profit margin by differentiating products and services, making them more attractive to customers ‘Innovation’ is the successful exploitation of new ideas. It is the process that carries them through to new products, new services, and new ways of running the business or even new ways of doing business.

(structural engineering) ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF DMI COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING CHENNAI. Abstract: - Brick is one of the very common and important construction material which is used in all masonry work. A large land area is used for acquiring clay for brick making. The word replacement has become the very common thing worldwide. More land area is being acquired for clay in brick making. To make this reduced replacement of waste materials can be done. The partial replacement of Waste Glass Powder (WGP) is the main aim of this project. The Waste Glass Powder was partially replaced as 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45% and 50%. The waste glass powder is also called as fused silica glass powder. The WGP was taken and mixed with clay in correct proportions. The mixture was left for curing for one day. Then the mixture was mixed with water to get correct consistency. This was then molded into bricks with a mould of size 190x90x90 mm. After the molding the bricks are kept for sun drying for seven days. Then the dried bricks are kept in a Bull's Trench Kiln for seven days at 900oC temperature.

During the nineteenth century Bourke Street, west of Elizabeth Street, was characterised by horse bazaars and livery stables. The substantial - and long-running - Kirk’s Horse Bazaar extended from the north side of Bourke Street through to Little Bourke Street. It was established by James Bowie Kirk in 1840, a member of the Melbourne Racing Club. Weekly auctions were held for the sale of hundreds of horses, and the annual sale after the Royal Agricultural Show drew large crowds.1 The Royal and Victoria horse bazaars were also established in this section of Bourke Street by the 1860s. The combined effect of the horse bazaars was to attract associated businesses,
