Tracing the tin-opacified yellow glazed ceramics in the western Islamic world: the findings at Madinat al-Zahra’

A small group of opaque yellow glazed sherds has recently been identified among the ceramics excavated at the Islamic city of Madinat al-Zahra’ near Cordoba, in al-Andalus (southern Spain), which was founded in 936 AD as the seat of the Umayyad Caliphate power. A small group of sherds from Madinat al-Zahra’, which can be dated to about 960–980 AD, has been examined in polished section in a SEM with EDS attached. These analyses have established that the Madinat al-Zahra’ sherds were opacified with lead stannate, and not lead antimonate, as was being used to opacify yellow glazed ceramics in Egypt and Tunisia in the ninth and tenth centuries AD. Islamic opaque yellow glazed ceramics, with lead stannate as the opacifier, were first produced (Beiträge Zur Islamischen Kunst Und Archäologie 4:125–144, 2014) in Egypt and Syria in seventh/eighth centuries AD, and from there, the technology spread eastwards into Iraq and Iran in the ninth century AD and continued in use in Iran and Central Asia into the tenth century AD and beyond. However, the question of where these opaque yellow glazed ceramics were produced has not been fully resolved. Because such ceramics are extremely rare in al-Andalus, it seems most likely that they were either imported from Iran or Central Asia or produced locally by potters arriving from these areas. The study adds one further, yet not fully understood chapter to the story of a persistent glaze technology which has been widely ignored.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version

Physical education is an educational process through physical activities to achieve the goal of education, so that by means of teaching process it is hoped that the change of pupil's behavior will be occurred. In a framework of children education as a totality, it must cover up the unity between physical and spiritual aspects. There are no subject of lesson with as compound and complete goal as physical education. Unfortunately, this goal hasn't entirely achieved yet because its realization isn't in accordance with it hopes. There are many problems occurred such as the limitedness of its means and infrastructure, the number and quality of teachers which is insufficient, etc. until now, such constraints are not overcome. Therefore, writer is attracted to examine the compurgation of physical education between Indonesia and Japan. Why Japan? Because Japan has become the most advanced country in Asia and it has had such particular tricks in its efforts to arrange a more effectively leaming process, so that it is hoped that Indonesia could adopt positive things that could be properly applied in Indonesian situation and condition, so that the goal of physical education could be achieved optimally

When “pathways” cross

The mainstreaming of students with special needs in the regular classroom became a focus of debate in the Canadian school system during the 1980s, when the Regular Education Initiative was implemented (Winzer, 1999). This initiative focused on combining general and special education to provide a diverse education system for all learners. Special education teachers were expected to adopt a consulting role, and classroom teachers were expected take a greater responsibility for the teaching of all students, including those with special needs (Hallahan & Kauffman, 1991; Winzer, 1999). As a result, the proportion of students remaining in segregated educational environments was at its lowest by 1991 (Winzer, 1999)

The colour and golden shine of early silver Islamic lustre

A selection of lustres including 9th century AD polychrome and 10th century AD monochrome Abbasid lustres from Iraq, and 10th to 12th centuries AD Fatimid lustres from Egypt and Syria is studied in the present paper. The selection is based on previous studies that demonstrated that all of them contain metal silver nanoparticles and copper, which, when present, appears either as Cuþ or Cu2þ dissolved in the glaze. They show different colours, green, yellow, amber, and brown, and may also show or lack a golden-like reflectivity, which results mainly from average size and concentration in the layer of the silver nanoparticles. In this paper, a depth profile composition of the lustre layers is determined using Rutheford Backscattering Spectroscopy, allowing the determination of the total silver content, concentration of silver, copper to silver ratio, and thickness of the lustre layers. We show that the enhanced golden-like reflectivity occurs only for layers with a high concentration of silver, and that the addition of PbO to the alkaline glaze helps the formation of more concentrated layers. The results obtained provide new hints concerning the lead enrichment of the glazes during this period.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version

Recommendation: The need assessment / further analysis of the regional regulations in West Kalimantan province, both from the juridical aspect, sociological, philosophical, and technical drafting process and substance of the material muatanperaturan area, so after being a Regional Regulation, becoming Regional Regulation effective, not cause contradictions and problems of both aspects of Mechanical Drafting, formal and material as well as meet the needs and demands for social justice. Because the purpose of the establishment of Regional Regulation not only to the rule of law / rechmatigheid alone but also so that people know and should be implemented in order to benefit / dooelmatigheid for the community. In The Local Regulation in the province of West Kalimantan involve the participation of the wider community, especially students of law,Researcher law, legal experts from academics and designers Laws Invitation / legal drafter, because the public has the right to provide input verbal and / or written the establishment of regulatory legislation, as stipulated in Article 96, Article 98 and Article 99 of Law Number 12 Year 2011 on the establishment Regulation legislation that regional regulations have been enacted that will not be problematic

Assessing the inclusiveness of growth in Africa: Evidence from Cameroon, Senegal, and Tanzania

In this study, we assess the inclusiveness of growth by tracking the yearly percentage change in the household consumption of individuals over different growth spells in Cameroon, Senegal, and Tanzania. With cross-sectional data, we track the consumption of groups of individuals that share similar time-invariant characteristics, consistent with the pseudo-panel methodology. When the panel data are available, we track the consumption of each individual in order to generate the non-anonymous growth incidence curve. We find that the standard growth incidence curve does not always help to detect or to identify the winners and the losers from the growth process. In addition, the more educated individuals are not necessarily the ones that benefit from growth, except in Tanzania where growth is driven by the skill-intensive sectors. We also find significant losers from growth in Tanzania where the rate of inflation is very high compared to the other countries. Our methodology finds that 63 per cent of the population in Tanzania live in households whose real consumption expenditures fall during the growth spell
