Percepciones sobre «lo oriental» en el arte valenciano: el caso de los Baños del Almirante = Perceptions about «the oriental» in the Valencian´s art:…
2017
The present article deals with the perception of «the oriental», a relevant topic nowadays, especially after the events of 11 September 2001, where Pandora's Case burst open with a negative vision of Muslim society. We will thus deal with the perception of the hammam, a Spanish geographical item, focusing our research in the Admiral´s Bath of Valencia, which have mistakenly been identified as Islamic and are, actually, Christian in origin.
The great fire of medieval Valencia (1447)
2015
ABSTRACT:In March 1447, a great fire broke out in Valencia, caused by a former member of the municipal government. This fire destroyed many houses and craft workshops around the Market Square, the economic centre of the city. The municipal government had to compensate the citizens, who had lost everything, and restore everyday life in the area. A versatile Italian watchmaker living in Valencia was chosen to supervise the rehabilitation of the area. Under his direction, the debris was removed. Then after a conscious campaign of urban planning aimed at eliminating any traces of the old Islamic city, the streets were reconstructed according to the norms of the western city.
El ángel y el carnero en el Sacrificio de Isaac. Continuidad y variación en la cultura visual.
2020
La figura del carnero destaca de forma significativa dentro del simbolismo animalístico en el cristianismo. El presente artículo se centra en el estudio diacrónico de las representaciones de dicho animal insertas dentro del tipo iconográfico del Sacrificio de Isaac, cuya fuente literaria es el Génesis 22. El análisis pormenorizado de este elemento significante dentro del pasaje veterotestamentario se torna fundamental a la hora de acudir a los primeros textos realizados por los Padres de la Iglesia, generando en si la aparición del ángel portando el carnero, una variante tipológica dentro del devenir del tipo iconográfico en su continuidad y variación. El objetivo, por tanto, es atender a a…

Not only peasants: the myth of continuity in the irrigation communities of Valencia, Spain, in the medieval and early modern periods
2017
AbstractThe Horta of Valencia is a large irrigated area managed by eight communities of landowners. Traditionally, it was considered that these communities were composed of peasants, that they were self-managed and self-governed, and that they had remained immutable over time. However, the historical evidence shows that this is not true for pre-modern times. This article examines a possible Islamic origin of these institutions, the rupture caused by the Christian conquest of Valencia in the thirteenth century, the structure of the communities, and the social diversity of their members within the framework of feudalism. We conclude that irrigation communities cannot be used as examples of in…

Politics of Humanitarianism: The Ahmadiyya and the Provision of Social Welfare
2020
Ahmadi Muslims have combined local contributions and financial support from overseas to support various development projects since the 1920s when they started their mission activities in West Africa. The chapter outlines contemporary social welfare activities of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Ghana and Burkina Faso. Humanitarian aid provided by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and its NGO Humanity First is one of the issues favouring public recognition as well as interreligious dialogue to which the Ahmadis are equally strongly committed. Most of the donations for Humanity First come from members of the Ahmadiyya community, as zakat or sadaqa donations. Public recognition is particularly i…
Bezpilota motorizētas iekārtas orientēšanās telpā un optimālā maršruta izvēle
2016
Šajā darbā tiek apskatīta un risināta austoša problēma ar autonomu “robotu” orientēšanos telpā, bez iepriekšējām priekšzināšanām par to, optimālu maršruta izvēli, kā arī risinājums, kā to izveidot neatkarīgi no ārējiem resursiem, piemēram, globālās pozicionēšanas sistēmām, mobilo datu pieslēguma datiem, bezvadu tīklu vai radio frekvenču identifikāciju. Risinājums veidots kā vairāku sensoru kombinācija, iekļaujot sevī 10 dimensiju jeb DOF, ultraskaņas un vibrāciju sensorus. Rezultātā ir iegūta sistēmas koncepcija, kura pati spēj autonomi apstaigāt lauku, paralēli veidojot apstaigātās platības karti.
Sūfisma ideju interpretācija Idrīsa Šāha grāmatā "The Sufis"
2022
Bakalaura darba nosaukums ir “Sūfisma ideju interpretācija Idrīsa Šāha grāmatā “The Sufis””. Darba tēma ir “The Sufis” grāmatas analīze par sūfisma filozofijas potenciālu mūsdienu cilvēka dzīvē. Mūsdienās cilvēkiem aug interese par Tuvo Austrumu garīguma praksēm, kas aptver cilvēku skatījumu uz dzīvi. Ņemot vērā valodu barjeru, mācību materiālu dažādība par citās kultūrās atrodamām filozofiska rakstura idejām ir ierobežota, tādēļ ir svarīgi kritiski aplūkot jaunāko laiku reliģiju interpretācijas. Idrīss Šāhs “The Sufis” grāmatas ietvaros vēlējies iepazīstināt Rietumu sabiedrību ar sūfisma mācības idejām, bet tās pielāgotas rietumnieciskās kultūrvides izpratnei. Šāha grāmata ir saņēmusi akad…
