  • Urban Warfare in 15Th-Century Castile
    Urban warfare in 15th-century Castile Guerra urbana en el siglo XV castellano Ekaitz Etxeberria Gallastegi* Universidad del País Vasco Abstract Urban warfare evokes unequivocally contemporary images. However, the Mid- dle Ages frequently witnessed combats inside cities. These confrontations usu- ally arose in two contexts: factional struggles to achieve local power, and street fighting derived from an enemy army entering the city after a successful as- sault. The aim of this paper is to analyse urban warfare in 15th-century Castile, examining its tactics and common characteristics. Keywords Urban Warfare, Castile, 15th century, Tactics. Resumen El combate urbano remite a unos referentes inequívocamente contemporáneos. Sin embargo, la Edad Media también fue escenario de frecuentes combates en el interior de las ciudades. Estos enfrentamientos solían responder a dos realida- des: la lucha entre bandos locales enfrentados por el poder y el combate calle- jero que podía suceder a la expugnación de la muralla por un ejército atacante. * Correo electrónico: [email protected]. Departamento de Historia Medieval, Moderna y América. Facultad de Letras de la Universidad del País Vasco. This paper was written within the framework of the Ministry of Science & Innovation funded Research Project De la Lucha de Bandos a la hidalguía universal: transformaciones so- ciales, políticas e ideológicas en el País Vasco (siglos XIV y XV), (HAR2017-83980-P) and of the Basque Government’s Consolidated Reseach Group Sociedad, poder y cultura (siglos XIV-XVIII), (IT-896-16). http://www.journal-estrategica.com/ E-STRATÉGICA, 3, 2019 • ISSN 2530-9951, pp. 125-143 125 EKAITZ ETXEBERRIA GALLASTEGI El presente artículo pretende definir las formas que adoptó el combate urbano en los enfrentamientos que tuvieron este escenario en la Castilla del siglo XV, estableciendo sus pautas e intentando discernir las características comunes de esta forma de enfrentamiento.

Întreaga cantitate a fost structurată în funcţie de specificul documentelor după cum urmează: registre de stare civilă ordonate alfabetic în funcţie de localităţile la care fac referire (181 la număr), în cadrul acestora pe confesiuni, iar în cadrul fiecărei confesiuni cronologic. Registrele sunt scrise în limbile: germană, maghiară, latină, română ( cu alfabet chirilic şi latin) şi aparţin confesiunilor ortodoxă, evanghelică, mozaică, reformată, greco - catolică, romano - catolică ( botezaţi, căsătoriţi, morţi). Registrele cuprinse în colecţie au fost întocmite la început de către parohii, prin preoţii locali sub forma matricolelor confesionale, cu scopul de a inregistra evenimentele considerate fundamentale în viaţa comunităţii respectiv: ( botezul, căsătoria, moartea) şi probabil de control administrativ- religios al acestora. De la 1 octombrie 1895 s-au introdus (în baza unei legi din 18 decembrie 1894) în Transilvania registrele de stare civilă a căror completarea cădea în sarcina funcţionarilor publici şi nu a preoţilor. Printr-o modificare a legii în 1904 s-a stabilit ca la nivel de comună sediul notarului să coincidă cu sediul Oficiului Cercual de Stare civilă, notarilor conferindu-li-seSJAN atribu Sibiuţii în domeniul stării civile.

Many successful joint projects were initiated and have developed, on scien- tific, political, economic and cultural contacts and cooperation – in the counties of Sibiu, Brasov, Alba, Covasna, Harghita and Mures. The partnership representatives have continuously done excellent work over this period. Whether in Brandenburg or in Centru Region, we can be proud of this success story. These projects have given impetus, facilitated friendly encounters and, above all, brought the experience that Europe is being shaped in the regions by people who courageously break new ground.

Timis, Romania [email protected] Cultural heritage, Tourism, Rural revival, archaeology, Abstract. Arad County, Romania, is located in a cross-border area, formed by Hungarian, Serbian and Romanian districts – the DKMT zone (Danube, Krish, Mureş and Tisa). There are numerous historical and archaeological remains across Arad County, the oldest dating from the Middle Palaeolithic. Most of them are settled in rural areas, not commonly known, not advertised and have no proper monument protection. Giving these monuments a higher profile would catalyse cultural tourism. The purpose of this study is to find viable means of rehabilitation, re-use and valorisation of this cultural heritage, through environmental- friendly interventions on archaeological sites in certain rural areas. Our aim is to implement the innovative concept of musealisation, in order to create a complex and sustainable tourist itinerary, which combines the activity of visiting with learning and experiencing the local tra- ditions. The historical and archaeological remains are closely linked to the evolution of the nearby village. If understood from a phenomenological perspective, these monuments create a narrative web about life standards, economy, defence, specific crafting and building tech- nology.

  • Invasive Plants in the Flora of Mureş County
    SĂMĂRGHIŢAN MIHAELA, OROIAN SILVIA J. Plant Develop. 19(2012): 131-140 INVASIVE PLANTS IN THE FLORA OF MUREŞ COUNTY SĂMĂRGHIŢAN MIHAELA1, OROIAN SILVIA2 Abstract: Invasive plants are those species that are capable of rapidly spreading at great distances from parent plants. Because of them, agriculture pays a huge annual tribute. These invasive plants might shortly become the most widely spread and destructive, as they seem to take best advantage from climate changes. They have a high phytocoenological competition capacity and rapidly adapt to new life conditions to the detriment of native plants. This paper aims to inform of the phenomenon of invasion of these alien plants, of their distribution and abundance in certain areas in Mureş County. If the monitoring of invasive plants receives particular international attention, in the Mureş County there is no concern for monitoring their invasion, for limiting their negative effects on the environment and human economy. The most rapacious and common invasive plants in the studied territory are presented in the paper. Because these species already occupy extremely large surfaces, the measures for fighting them are difficult and costly, and long-term measures for their control and elimination are required. Key words: invasive plants, flora, Mureş County Introduction Invasive species are an increasing major threat to indigenous biodiversity in Europe and worldwide. Plant invasions are mainly caused by the intensification of economic branches such as transportation, trade, tourism, on the one hand, and by biological factors (absence of limiting factors) and climatological changes, on the other hand [ANASTASIU & NEGREAN, 2007; EASTWOOD, 2001]. Adventive plants are spontaneous or subspontaneous plants whose presence in a certain area is due to their accidental or intentional introduction as a result of human activity [RICHARDSON & al.
