Alexander III of Macedon (356-323 BC) has for over 2000 years been one of the best recognized names from antiquity. He set about creating his own legend in his lifetime, and subsequent writers and political actors developed it. He acquired the surname 'Great' by the Roman period, and the Alexander Romance transmitted his legendary biography to every language of medieval Europe and the Middle East. As well as an adventurer who sought the secret of immortality and discussed the purpose of life with the naked sages of India, he became a model for military achievement as well as a religious prophet bringing Christianity (in the Crusades) and Islam (in the Qur'an and beyond) to the regions he conquered. This innovative and fascinating volume explores these and many other facets of his reception in various cultures around the world, right up to the present and his role in gay activism.

In een tijd waarin digitale tekstverwerkers onze schrijfcultuur volledig bepalen, is het handschrift ten dode opgeschreven. Voor Willem Styfhals is dit het uitgelezen moment om een cultuurfilosofische analyse van het handschrift te ontwikkelen. 'Apologie van het schrift' is een postscript van het met de hand geschreven woord, een lijkrede van een dode letter. Aan de hand van het werk van Belgische dichter-schilder Christian Dotremont, maar ook van de Franse denkers Gaston Bachelard en Roland Barthes, reflecteert dit boek over het wezen van het schrijven. Hoe kunnen we, los van enige romantische nostalgie, het verschil tussen het geschreven en getypte woord bepalen? Hoe bepaalt de materialiteit van het schrift de betekenis van onze teksten? In een poging deze kwesties op te helderen combineert het boek filosofische reflectie met typografisch experiment. Voor het ontwerp van dit boek ontwikkelde grafisch ontwerper Eva Moulaert (Dear Reader,) in samenwerking met letterontwerper Wouter Van Nes een lettertype dat gebaseerd is op haar handschrift.

The aim of this book is to highlight some recent advances in microwave planar devices. The development of planar technologies still generates great interest because of their many applications in fields as diverse as wireless communications, medical instrumentation, remote sensing, etc. In this book, particular interest has been focused on an electronically controllable phase shifter, wireless sensing, a multiband textile antenna, a MIMO antenna in microstrip technology, a miniaturized spoof plasmonic antipodal Vivaldi antenna, a dual-band balanced bandpass filter, glide-symmetric structures, a transparent multiband antenna for vehicle communications, a multilayer bandpass filter with high selectivity, microwave planar cutoff probes, and a wideband transition from microstrip to ridge empty substrate integrated waveguide.

This volume collects the papers published on the special issue “Kinematics and Robot Design IV, KaRD2021” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/robotics/special_issues/KaRD2021), which is the forth edition of the KaRD special-issue series, hosted by the open-access journal “MDPI Robotics”. KaRD series is an open environment where researchers can present their works and discuss all the topics focused on the many aspects that involve kinematics in the design of robotic/automatic systems. Kinematics is so intimately related to the design of robotic/automatic systems that the admitted topics of the KaRD series practically cover all the subjects normally present in well-established international conferences on “mechanisms and robotics”. KaRD2021, after the peer-review process, accepted 12 papers. The accepted papers cover some theoretical and many design/applicative aspects.
