A Critique on the Book Cultural History of the Islamic World (Introduction to the History of Culture and Civilization in the Islamic Period) by Mahdi Ezati, Rohullah Bahrami

“…The cultural history of the Islamic world, due to its vastness and diversity, has not yet been seriously considered and all the writings that have allegedly arisen due to the lack of definite definitions and frameworks have addressed only some aspects of this issue and have failed to understand its generality. This article examines the form and content of the book of the cultural history of the Islamic world written by Boroumand Azamipour with a descriptive and analytical method. …”

Cerâmica de tradição islâmica em contexto português by Marco Liberato, Isabel Inácio, Gonçalo Lopes, Constança dos Santos, Jacinta Bugalhão, Helena Catarino, Sandra Cavaco, Jaquelina Covaneiro, Isabel Cristina Fernandes, Ana Sofia Gomes, Susana Gómez, Maria José Gonçalves

“…The excessive tutelage of Political History over the study of medieval materials, frequently results in attempts to link directly the archeological record with an historical conjuncture, generally disruptive. One example is the tendency to assume that some characteristics of Islamic pottery were exclusive to the time frame of the Muslim domain, submitting the material culture to a political and institutional chronology which reveals as totally artificial.  …”

Fire-driven disruptions of global soil biochemical relationships by Guiyao Zhou, Nico Eisenhauer, Zhenggang Du, Manuel Esteban Lucas-Borja, Kaiyan Zhai, Miguel Berdugo, Huimin Duan, Han Wu, Shengen Liu, Daniel Revillini, Tadeo Sáez-Sandino, Hua Chai, Xuhui Zhou, Manuel Delgado-Baquerizo

“…Here, we integrate experimental observations and random forest model, and reveal significant divergence in the responses of soil biogeochemical attributes to fire, including soil carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) contents worldwide. Fire generally decreases soil C, has non-significant impacts on total N, while it increases the contents of inorganic N and P, with some effects persisting for decades. …”

Investigation of the Influence of Local Low Strength Concrete on the Bearing Capacity of Bending Reinforced Concrete Beams by A. G. Tamrazyan

“…The results show that the most critical region with low concrete strength along the span of the beam is the confluence zone near the supports, which is reflected in the ductility of the load-deflection curves. A new generalized empirical model is developed to predict the effect of bearing capacity reduction from local low-strength concrete.…”
