Masada: From Jewish Revolt to Modern Myth
2021
For a site as famous as Masada (Arabic es-Sebba), we have been lacking a good overview. There is a popular treatment of the excavations (Yadin 1966), a resume of the excavations in light of the fin...
Andalusian hauberk identifiers. A new example
2019
El trabajo está dedicado a una nueva pequeña chapa circular de metal con inscripción incisa en árabe. Aporta la lectura y traducción de su texto y sitúa el objeto en un grupo especial dentro de la metalística medieval islámica. Es el quinto ejemplo que se conoce. Eran piezas que iban sujetas a cotas de malla del ejército cordobés con la función de identificarlas para reintegrarlas al arsenal después de que fueran usadas. Es de la época del califato de Hišām II. The article deals with a new small metal disk with an Arabic inscription incised on it. The study gives the reading and translation of its text and places the object in the Islamic medieval metalwork group it belongs to. It is the fi…
New insights to assess the consolidation of stone materials used in built heritage: the case study of ancient graffiti (Tituli Picti) in the archaeol…
2020
AbstractTituli Picti are an ancient form of urban graffiti very common in the archaeological site of Pompeii (Naples, South—Italy). They are generally made of red pigments applied on walls of Campanian ignimbrite. This paper deals with a scientific investigation aimed to their conservation. This is a challenging task since it requires a multidisciplinary approach that includes restorers, archaeologists and conservation scientists. The study has provided suggestions on the proper way to conserve Tituli Picti over time. In the present work, several specimens of Campanian ignimbrite were painted with red earth pigment; lime and Arabic gum have been used as binders as well. Such painted stones …

Discrimination in the sharing economy: evidence from a Hungarian field experiment
2018
Findings from our pilot research project which focused on providing car sharing services to young people with different ethnic/racial background showed discrimination against certain ethnic groups. The research was based on a controlled field experimental design to examine the chances of rides being offered to racially different testers. The experimental variables were both race and gender. Creating altogether 8 profiles enabled us to test the interaction between these two experimental stimulus. The small-scale research (total N=160) was implemented in Hungary, in summer 2017 by interns of TARKI, Hungarian Social Research Centre. The forthcoming article shows evidence of ethnic/racial dispr…
Influence of emulsion and powder size on the stability of encapsulated d-limonene by spray drying
2005
Abstract The microencapsulation of d -limonene by spray drying was investigated with respect to the effects of emulsion droplet size, powder particle size, as well as to the effects of various kinds of matrices (gum arabic, maltodextrin, and modified starch) on its stability. It was realized by studying release characteristics and oxidative stability during storage. The release and the oxidation decreased deeply with an increase in powder and emulsion particle size for gum arabic and maltodextrin materials. Further, the distributions of emulsion size in the powder showed an increase in the fraction of large emulsion droplets and changed to a bimodal distribution. However, the modified starc…
Quranic app practices among multilingual Muslim youth in Denmark
2019
This article sheds light on a set of religious literacy practices which have so far received very little scientific attention, namely ‘quranic app practices’. Quranic app practices are conceptualized as ways of engaging with the Quran through religious apps on smartphones or tablets. The article is based primarily on an explorative group interview with four young people from a Year 8 class in a multilingual lower secondary school in Denmark. The youth have Somali and Afghan background, consider themselves practicing Muslims and can be described as ‘religious heritage learners of Arabic’ (Temples 2013). The article explores the quranic app practices of the young people as reported in the int…
Position Coding in Two-Digit Arabic Numbers
2011
Digit position coding in two-digit Arabic numbers was examined in two masked priming experiments. In Experiment 1, participants had to decide whether the presented stimulus was a two-digit Arabic number (e.g., 67) or not (e.g., G7). Target stimuli could be preceded by a prime which (i) shared one digit in the initial position (e.g., 13-18), (ii) shared one digit but in a different position (83-18), and (iii) was a transposed number (81-18). Two unrelated control conditions, equalized in terms of the distance between primes and targets with the experimental conditions, were also included (e.g., 79-18). Results showed a priming effect only when prime and target shared digits in the same posi…
Location of navigation menus in websites: an experimental study with Arabic users
2015
Published online: 31 October 2015 While Arabic users represent by far the fastest growing language population on the Internet, research about how the peculiarities of Arabic language may shape users’ web interactions is still scarce. The preferences of Arabic users for menu location in websites have been studied. Two competing arguments have been proposed regarding the best location of menus in websites: conventional design (navigation menu should be placed on that side where users expect it based on previous experience) and reading direction (navigation menu should be placed on that side where readers are used to start off reading, so that the navigation menu is likely to be attended first…
Lazos entre lingüística e ideología desde un enfoque historiográfico (ss. XVI-XX)
2020
Los 17 trabajos reunidos en este volumen estudian, desde una óptica historiográfica, la manifestación explícita y/o implícita de ideologías en textos de carácter metalingüístico. Tomando como eje las relaciones entre lingüística e ideología y su proyección en el ámbito social, político o didáctico, se analiza aquí el contenido de obras gramaticales, lexicográficas y ortográficas, historias de lenguas, artículos periodísticos, discursos, manifiestos y otros escritos publicados en la horquilla comprendida entre los siglos XVI y XX. Aunque el grueso de los trabajos se articula en torno a textos sobre el español tanto en su variedad europea como americana, también se da aquí cabida a contribuci…
