Jan. 2, 2013 ? Medieval Afghanistan, Iran and the one-time Soviet Central Asian states were frontiers in flux as the Islamic Caliphate spread beyond the Arabian Peninsula in the seventh through 10th centuries.
As such, different groups, such as the new Arab ruling class, the native landed gentry and local farmers, jockeyed for power, position and economic advantage over an approximately 300-year period as the Sasanian Empire collapsed and the Caliphate took its place.
University of Cincinnati historian Robert Haug, assistant professor, will present his research on how social, cultural and political changes were manifested in these border areas that serve almost as a "perpetual frontier." He does so Jan. 3, 2013, at the American Historical Association, in a presentation titled "Between the Limits and the Gaps: Conceptualizing Frontiers in Medieval Arabic and Persian Geographies."
While many in the West might perceive these Middle Eastern and Asian countries as Islamic religious monoliths, their populations in the Middle Ages were only about 50 percent Muslim in the 10th century, even after 300 years of Arab rule, according to Haug.
"Some may see these areas as homogenous today, but as the fringes of empire in the Middle Ages, there were economic, cultural, political and religious tensions that were negotiated and re-negotiated," he explained.
For instance, conversion of native populations to Islam was initially discouraged by the new Arab elite. "The incoming Arab elite seeking to solidify power in these frontier border areas wanted to maintain a distinction between themselves and the long-term resident populations. The new elites wanted to be able to collect taxes and fulfill military levies, and there were more strictures on how you went about doing so with co-religionists vs. those who were not Muslim," explained Haug, adding that radical transformation and conversions did not generally take place except at the very top tier of native societies.
In studying records of the era, he also finds how subject populations maneuvered in order to maintain position, economic security or cultural identity in a shifting social climate. For instance, in comparing early ninth century records and texts to those from the late 10th centuries, Haug notes that as the number of mosques in an area increased, the vocabulary for referring to fortified farms also changed.
These were border areas on the edge of the steppes where raiders were a perpetual problem, so farmers and landed gentry wanted to keep their fortified grain silos and farms. However, these fortified enclosures were also seen as a threat by the Caliphate. After all, they could serve to harbor enemies of the Islamic empire. To negotiate this tightrope, village headmen, farmers and the landed gentry began to refer to these defensive enclosures as "ribats," which was not the former local word used, but an Arab term referencing a defensive jihad. So, now, the fortified farms and food storage could be viewed as a means for defending Islam, making them more politically and militarily acceptable to the Arab elites.
Adoption of the term doesn't mean that those using it had necessarily converted to Islam, said Haug, adding, "This had become a mixed culture with overlapping identities. Political and economic necessity likely drove such changes in the vocabulary and culture. It's not unlike how Michigan residents or Minnesotans tend to watch hockey, thus aligning themselves culturally with Canada in this regard; however, they're still U.S. citizens."
The coins minted and used in the frontier areas also speak of the struggle of local elites to retain or expand their power under the Caliphate. "The coins give you information as to who was in charge. I also like to say, 'The coin doesn't lie.' As power shifted back and forth, the names on the coins change," said Haug.
For instance, coins minted and used in Baghdad might have three names on them, that of the Caliph, his heir and the area's governor perhaps. Coins in the frontier areas could have a half dozen or so names inscribed. "On the frontier, the coin minters were hedging their bets. Power could change hands along the border, and the coins represent how often and easily that happened. In fact, names on coins minted in frontier areas changed with much greater frequency than did those on coins minted in Baghdad or other centrally located mints," stated Haug.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Sorry, Charlie, but fish oil supplements did not prevent atrial fibrillation in patients who had already experienced episodes of the heart rhythm malfunction, a new clinical trial has found.
The study, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, adds to a growing pool of disappointing evidence regarding the protective effects of omega-3 fatty acids on heart health.
"The results for atrial fibrillation are important negative findings, answering key clinical and research questions," said Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, an omega-3 expert at the Harvard School of Public Health, who was not involved in the current study.
The new research, combined with other trials, "indicates that short-term fish oil use is unlikely to prevent recurrent atrial fibrillation," he said.
But if the supplements don't prevent heart rhythm problems, they don't appear to be dangerous, either. "In all these studies, fish oil was safe and well-tolerated, with no evidence for increased bleeding," Mozaffarian told Reuters Health.
Atrial fibrillation, in which the heart's upper chambers beat out of step with those below, affects nearly one in 10 Americans in their 80s. The condition is linked to potentially life-threatening strokes and heart failure.
Although doctors prescribe certain medications to treat the condition, none to date has proven particularly effective. As a result, most drug treatment focuses on preventing strokes by administering blood thinners to dissolve clots caused by the fibrillation.
Some evidence suggests that omega-3 fatty acids, found in oily fish like sardines and tuna, might reduce the risk of atrial fibrillation, although exactly how they would produce their effect is not clear.
A study published earlier this year in Circulation, for example, found that people with the most omega-3s in their blood had a 30 percent lower chance of developing an irregular heart beat than those with the lowest concentrations of the substances (see Reuters Health story of February 1, 2012).
That 30 percent difference would work out to eight fewer cases of atrial fibrillation per 100 people - which would be a meaningful benefit if it could be enjoyed by those with fibrillation or at risk for it, just by consuming more omega 3s.
But the latest study suggests that it probably can't. The trial included 586 men and women with a history of atrial fibrillation who were given a gram a day of fish oil or dummy capsules for a year. Participants also were allowed to take other drugs to control their heart rhythms, as prescribed by their doctors.
At the end of the study period, about 24 percent of the people who took fish oil, and 20 percent of those who did not, had experienced a recurrence of atrial fibrillation - a difference so small, statistically, it was likely due to chance.
The supplements also did not appear to reduce the risk of other cardiovascular ailments - including stroke, heart attack, heart failure - or death from any cause.
The findings on atrial fibrillation echo results from a study led by Mozaffarian published in November, of patients recovering from heart surgery.
Even so, Dr. Alejandro Macchia, a cardiologist at the GESICA Foundation in Buenos Aires, who led the current study and collaborated with Mozaffarian on the previous one, said fish oil may still prove beneficial for heart health, at least in some patients.
"I am not sure the story is over," Dr. Macchia told Reuters Health. "I think we have enough evidence to say that there is no role of (omega-3 fatty acids) for the prevention of atrial fibrillation" in patients with a history of the condition, he said. "However in the context of primary prevention - those people who had never had a previous episode of atrial fibrillation - there is a reasonable room for a well-designed and very large clinical trial."

Auto insurance policies cover more than your car. It works to protect everyone on the road around you. Be sure that your policy covers all of your needs. These tips were written to help you get the most of your auto insurance.
You should understand the different coverage types available and whether or not your insurance policy covers all possible situations. Liability will come in handy when you injure someone, damage that person?s property, have a damaged vehicle, or medical bills. Protecting yourself from uninsured motorists and acts of God or crime is also a must.
Try paying for your entire policy all at once. Almost all insurance companies will charge you a fee if they have to break the payments up for you. Start saving money now so that when your policy is up for renewal, you can pay the entire annual cost and avoid the service fee.
TIP! When getting car insurance quotes for teenage drivers in the family, find out how much it will cost to have them added to your policy and how much it will cost to purchase them a separate policy. You can then compare costs to save yourself money.
Car rentals are very important to include in your insurance policy. If you do not have a rental car provision under your insurance policy, you will have to pay for one up front. This policy can cost you up to $20 per day while your car is in the shop. a day while your car is getting fixed
Be sure to do thorough research when your insurance company tries to get you to purchase a warranty to cover parts that will be used to fix your car. Auto parts makers guarantee their products, while the repair shops also guarantee their work. Therefore, you should not spend money on something you do not need.
TIP! When you are looking into getting car insurance, you need to know and understand the coverage types. There are a variety of considerations involved in calculating the final cost of vehicle insurance.
You can?t avoid a higher premium entirely if you have a bad record, but remember that different insurers may treat you differently. Companies even exist whose mission is to provide cheaper coverage to those with some driving mistakes on their record.
See what discounts your auto insurance company offers. Many insurance companies offer a break in price for people who have low mileage each year. Another discount is often given to people who take the bus or subway to work. If that?s not an option, see if you can carpool.
Many people believe that auto insurance rates go down automatically for young drivers once they reach 25. If you have a good driver record, your premiums will go down as you age, even if you are still under 25.
TIP! The vehicle in question can make the difference in how you insure your car. Old vehicles that aren?t worth much require less coverage, than more expensive models.
It is important to understand what the different auto insurance policies cover, in order to determine how much insurance you should need. The value of the liability insurance portion of the policy needs to be enough to cover all assets you have. If you do not have adequate coverage, you could be personally sued for the difference. It is more prudent to get enough coverage and be safe.
You should check with your insurance company about your coverage limits before you add any aftermarket upgrades. Insurance companies usually don?t cover the entire cost of these parts, only the the worth of your car with these additions, which usually isn?t a lot.
Keeping in mind the tips from this article, look again at your policy. When you look at your policy, you may see certain stipulations you do not like, and thus, need your policy to be fixed.
TIP! It is usually possible for an insurance company to rescind your coverage during the initial 60 days without giving you a reason. The insurer uses this time to look over your record, and make sure you?re not too high risk for them to insure.
