The article analyzes the merits of the member-clerk of the Caucasian Handicraft Committee A. S. Piralov, his role in the study and organization of traditional trades and crafts of the peoples of Dagestan, the Caucasus as a whole. Artemiy Stepanovich Piralov headed the Caucasian Handicraft Committee from the time of its creation (1899). Under his leadership, the Committee conducted an extensive survey of Caucasian cloth weaving, the traditional dyeing business of Dagestan. The merit of A. S. Piralov was also the holding in 1902 of the Congress of the Caucasian handicraft industry, the preparation and publication of the book «A Brief Sketch of the Handicrafts of the Caucasus». He also distinguished himself by collecting products of folk craftsmen of the Caucasus for the collections of handicraft and ethnographic museums in Russia.

Teamwork involves different types of interactions—specifically cooperation andcollaboration—that are necessary in education and many other professions. The differencesbetween cooperation and collaboration underline the teacher’s role in influencing groupdynamics, which represent both a foundation for professional design education and aprequalification for students’ competences as teachers and for critical evaluation. As a testcase, we focused on the Working Together action-research project in design education forspecialised teacher training in design, arts, and crafts at the Oslo Metropolitan University,which included three student groups in the material areas of drawing, ceramics, and textiles.The project developed the participants’ patience, manual skills, creativity, and abilities,which are important personal qualities for design education and innovation and representcornerstones in almost every design literacy and business environment. The hope is thatstudents will transform these competences to teaching pupils of all ages in their futurecareers.

This paper concerns the cartography of Afghanistan in antiquity using the example of Ortospana, a toponym that is presumably a corruption of *Oryospana, the ancient name of Ghazni. In order to cover all the hypotheses involved in this study, the itinerary of Alexander will also be revisited from southern and northern Afghanistan to Taxila through the crossroads of Alexandria in the Caucasus and along the Kabul River.

Creation as Text: The Graphological Trope in Said Nursi's Risāle-i nūr

Said Nursi

Reading the act of creation as written or spoken narrative seems to have gained currency across the faith traditions from very early on. The Muslim tradition is no exception. As the ‘pen and ink’ verse in the Qur'an shows, the notion of creation as an assemblage of divine words is as old as Islam itself. It was not until the advent of Muslim mysticism, however, that writers began to build on the image's revelatory foundations. The present study is an introductory analysis of extended metaphor in the work of the Ottoman theologian Bediüzzaman Said Nursi, with particular reference to the use of the ‘graphological trope’ in his six-thousand-page exegesis of the Qur'an known as the Risale-i Nur (‘The Epistles of Light’). The aim is to draw attention to Nursi's use of a particular literary conceit that is deserving of further study. Of the few works on Nursi and his teachings that stand up to serious academic scrutiny, nothing of substance has been written about the language of the Risale-i Nur. It is hoped that this exploratory article will spur other scholars on to a more extensive survey and analysis of imagery in Nursi's oeuvre.

Medieval Population

Although population of the Caucasus has been studied in a rather detailed way, there are peoples whose anthropological portrait is still incomplete. Among them are the Ingush, one of the oldest autochthonous peoples of the Caucasus. This work presents new material on the dental anthropology of medieval Ingush, collected in 2017 during expeditions to the Jairakh and Sunzhen districts of the Republic of Ingushetia. In the Jairakh district, the investigations were carried out in the crypt complexes of the 15th–18th centuries – Targim, Agikal, Tsori, Salgi, and in Sunzhen region - in crypts near the village of Muzgan. The craniological series of medieval Ingush studied according to the dental anthropology program can be described as belonging to the western range of odontological complexes. Unlike most modern Caucasian groups, it does not belong to gracile forms, but rather to a maturized odontological variant, which has deep roots in the Caucasus. The results once again demonstrate a certain conservatism and stability of the dental system, which preserves morphological traits of ancestral groups longer than other anthropological systems.
