Morphometric Characterization of Donkeys (Equus asinus) in D/Kudu Kano State For Selective Breedingand Genetic Conservation
No full textDonkeys (Equus asinus) is a domestic livestock animal and popular in helping farming activities and providing
food for some societies. Population of donkeys were drastically decreasing due to the overexploitation for its
hides and industrialization. Little is known regarding the morphometric measurements of this species which
provide a useful information for selective breeding and genetic conservation. One hundred and forty-four male
donkeys from D/Kudu Kano state where enrolled in this study for morphometric characterisation. Seven
morphological parameters were analysed in association with age and coat colour of donkeys observed.
Descriptive statistical analysis, analysis of variance (ANOVA) as well as correlation coefficient among
parameters were evaluated. Result revealed that donkeys in the studied area were categorised into 7 different
coat colour with light grey (30.6%) being the dominant colour. High frequency distribution of donkeys between
the ages of 5-7 years (41%) were recorded. Also, both age and coat colour showed a significant (P <0.01)
difference on face length, ear length, chest circumference and body length. Significant and positive correlation
(r = 0.43–0.91) is observed in all morphological traits except relationship for tail length which is negatively
correlated. In conclusion, the morphological features analysed in this study can be regarded as a preliminary for
further studies on the Kano donkey breed
Association of SOX2 expression with histopathological factors of invasive breast carcinoma in East Coast Malaysian women
No full textBackground: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and is a leading cause of cancerrelated mortality. The SOX2, having the ability of cancer stem cell self-renewal is responsible for the
development of breast cancer. Objective: This study aimed to determine the frequency and gene expression
pattern of SOX2 and its association with clinicopathological factors in invasive breast cancer in East Coast
Malaysian women. Material and methods: The SOX2 expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry on
100 samples of histologically diagnosed cases of invasive breast carcinomas, with known ER, PR and HER2
status, retrieved over 4 years period from January 2012 to December 2015. Positive samples were subjected
to fluorescent in-situ hybridisation to determine the gene expression pattern. Result: The SOX2 expression
was detected in 6% of invasive breast carcinomas, and all these cases were due to gene amplification. There
was a significant positive correlation with tumour recurrence (P<0.001), large tumour size (P<0.001),
lymphovascular invasion (P=0.006) and lymph node metastasis (P<0.01). The SOX2 expression was not
correlated with age group (P = 0.078), tumour grade (P = 0.465), ER positivity (P = 0.578), PR positivity (P
= 0.578) or HER2 overexpression (P = 0.541). Conclusion: The SOX2 expression has a potential to be used
as a prognostic marker in breast cancer in which the expression indicates potential for early recurrence and
aggressive tumour behaviour. The SOX2 may also be considered as a target for immunotherapy to personalise
the therapeutic strategies especially in preventing tumour recurrent

Is the economic growth of ASEAN-10 related to air transportation? a panel ARDL approach
No full textInvestment in transport infrastructure is one of the important actions to
accelerate regional development because it will open access among regions.
Thus, it can lead to accelerate economic growth. This study aims to analyze
the short-run and long-run relationship between economic growth and air
transportation in ASEAN-10 countries. The data used in this study are the
number of air transport passengers, air transport carrier, air freights,
interactions between passengers and air transport carrier, and gross domestic
product growth sourced from World Bank in a year period of 2002-2017.
Panel ARDL is used in this analysis. Based on the specification, estimation,
and examination of the model, the Panel ARDL is the best choice model. The
Panel ARDL model shows that in the short term there is no significant
relationship between air transportation and economic growth, but in the long
term explains, except air freight, that air transport passengers, air transport
airline, and the interaction between passengers have a significant effect on
ASEAN-10 economic growth. This study emphasizes that to increase
economic growth, increase in air transportation services is an important
factor

E-learning and strategies for teaching Arabic language skills to non-native speakers
No full textTeaching Arabic to non-native speakers receives great interest in our contemporary world, and
this interest is derived from several sources; Including what is related to the status of the Arabic language
from the Islamic faith, and the fact that its knowledge and insight in it needs that, and some of it is strategic
that relates to the location of the Arab world from the map of the world, and some of it is political that
relates to events in this region, and what prevails in it From the relations with all the countries of the world,
including what is economic that relies on what God - the Almighty - has endowed with this region in terms
of wealth and the energy potential that it occupies in directing the policies of countries, including what is
culturally related to the morals of the Arab person And the characteristics inherited through generations.
Therefore, efforts should be made to identify the easiest ways and means that help us spread this language
and develop curricula that are appropriate and teach the Arabic language to speakers of other languages so
that non-Arabs can learn the Arabic language in a short time and with less effort and a good level. And those
interested in teaching foreign languages in general have reached a certain conviction, that the solution to
educational problems lies in the availability of the means, methods, and methods of teaching from
facilitating educational inputs that suit everyone in terms of their inclination, perception, and educational
model, which prompted Educational institutions pay attention to education and communication technologies,
and if the use of these means is necessary in relation to the various sciences, theoretical or applied, the
importance is doubled in language teaching, and research will be limited to e-learning strategies and its role
in teaching Arabic to non-native speakers
Quality assurance standards of e-learning and the basis for their application in preparation of language study plans and the science of Holy Qur’an
No full textEnsuring the quality of E-Learning in the field of higher education requires in the first place an
institutional vision accompanied by commitment, leadership, and proper planning, while ensuring that this is
available to the partners. The E-Learning policy should conform to the overall vision of the institution and
the tasks and services they provide. Leaders and managers must be able to explain the reasons for choosing
E-Learning as an appropriate learning strategy for the students who serve them. Online education
components should include the quality components that were identified in the first part of this post.
Additionally, organizations need to comply with the regulations governing online learning and ensure that
they are reflected in policies and practices.This research also seeks to establish the rules and foundations of
specialized education in the field of teaching Arabic to non-native speakers, and link them to Quran. There
is no doubt that all scientific institutions aim to ensure the quality of the application of their academic
standards that set them to achieve what they want in the field of raising the level of targeted scientific
seekers. Therefore, this paper raises a fundamental research problem, namely, ways to ensure scientific
quality. This paper referred to a number of questions, including: What are the standards? What does quality
mean in the preparation of language teaching plans and Quranic sciences? And how to find academic
content that combines between Arabic and Quranic sciences? What possibilities are there to ensure that
learners are improved through quality standards? This paper discusses the concept of educational quality and
its role in achieving the objectives of the educational process, addressing the role of scientific standards in
the field of the preparation of study plans, indicating the possibilities that must be available to help in the success of the implementation of study plans prepared to teach Arabic and Quranic sciences, taking the
descriptive analytical approach. Thus, this paper added a new dimension to the studies that preceded it in
this area, where it is to indicate the criteria required to achieve the objectives set by linking the teaching of
Arabic language with the science of the Quran. The paper recommends further studies on ensuring that
quality standards are applied in the educational process

benefits in all fields and levels. The benefits of the Internet are many and varied. Where this technology was
able to unite the world and make it connected with each other day and night; Nor did one of the divine books
receive the same service and care as the book of God. The Ummah’s efforts in serving the Noble Qur’an have
been concerted - for some time - reading, reading and composing, and the arts varied in this, the most prominent
of which is the art of readings, where writing has been active since a very early time. Some inquisitors take it
back to the end of the first century. The authors of Qur’an sciences have had great efforts in dealing with the
topic of readings in their books, and hence this research came with a study focused on comparing four books of
(The proof in the sciences of the Qur’an by al-Zarkashi, perfection in the sciences of the Qur’an by al-Suyuti,
the increase and charity in the sciences of the Qur’an by Ibn Aqeelah al-Makki, Manahel al-Irfan in the sciences
of the Qur’an by al-Zarqani). And also through the resources available on the Interne
