He is a graduate of the University of Maiduguri, and has a Bachelor’s degree in Linguistics. He said that his interest in Kanuri Ajami, coupled with his background (being Kanuri himself and a linguist), motivate him to develop a collection of Kanuri Ajami texts. Alhaji Bashir has extensive Islamic knowledge and currently works for the Borno State government.This manuscript is a very short work in Arabic with extensive explicatory glosses in Kanuri Ajami. It has two parts. The first is Shaykh Muḥammad Ṣāliḥ’s work dealing with tawḥīd (oneness of God), the five pillars of Islam, the attributes of Allāh, the articles of faith, and elaborated notes on the characteristics of the Almighty God. The second part of the work deals with anger, anxiety, and depression. It provides words of wisdom on how to manage, control and eradicate these conditions. Both parts (tawḥīd and anger management) are written as poems. It is unclear whether the author of the first part is the same as author of the second part. The manuscript reflects the long history of Islamic scholarship in Kanem-Borno. The manuscript is unbound, complete, easy to read, and has no damaged pages. The total number of pages is only 11.The contents of this collection were developed with support of the Title VI National Resource Center grant # P015A180164 from the U.S. Department of Education.

An appraisal of the constitutional and regulatory mechanisms for the appointment of judicial officers in Nigeria and associated challenges
No full textThe institution to settle the dispute between individuals is a court of law manned by Judges. To nominate and appoint the judges are herculean tasks which involve processes to ensure only fit and proper persons occupy Judicial Offices. This paper examined the constitutional and regulatory procedures for the appointment of Judicial Officers in Nigeria. The study identified the problems associated with the processes of the appointment of the Judicial Officers in Nigeria. The work adopted the socio-legal research method by using the qualitative approach. There is a dearth of literature in Nigeria on how the procedure for the appointment of Judicial Officers operates practically and the real problems associated with the operation of the procedural laws. To achieve the research objectives, a semi-structured interview was used. Three specialists in the Nigerian legal profession were interviewed to find out the actual issues on the ground. The study discovered that lobbying has been entrenched in the process of the appointment of Judicial Officers in Nigeria. The research further found that the powers of the Chief Justice of Nigeria to appoint the majority of members of the recommendation body threatens the independence of the Judiciary
Biografija uz prijevod: Hrvatski ilirac Medo Pucić o Adamu Mickiewiczu
No full textThis paper deals with and comments on the biography and description of the literary work of the Croatian author of the Romantic period, Medo Pucić, with a special review of the biography of Adam Mickiewicz which he wrote in Italian, along with translations of excerpts from Forefathers’ Eve. The objective of the paper is twofold: to establish a parallel between the two contemporaries in the context of wider Croatian-Polish literary connections of the 1830s and 1840s as well as to establish the value of biography as a literary-historic genre, especially when it is written in temporal synchrony with an intent to establish cultural reciprocity. In that light Pucić’s text on Mickiewicz, originally written in a non-Slavic language for an Italian audience, is not read simply as a Croatian version of the impact of Mickiewicz’s work among the Southern Slavs, but as an ambitious implementation of the Pan-Slavic idea
Prevelance and pathogenicity of root lesion nematode, Pratylenchus spp. on banana (Musa paradisiaca L.) in Peninsular Malaysia
No full textRoot lesion nematode (Pratylenchus spp.) cause considerable damage to banana plant
(Musa spp.) globally. Even though, it has been reported in Malaysia, it disease
prevalence and severity of infection has not been attended to. The objective of the
research therefore, was aimed at determining the disease prevalence of Pratylenchus
spp. and the status of their damage on Musa spp. in Peninsular Malaysia. To study the
prevalence and pathogenicity of root lesion nematode, Pratylenchus spp. on banana
(Musa paradisiaca.) in Peninsular Malaysia, samples of soil and root were collected
from banana fields nationwide in 2014. Of the 13 sampled banana fields, lesion
nematodes were found in 10 fields (76% of the areas surveyed). Rating of root cortex
occupied by reddish brown lesion was significant among all the states, with Johor
having the highest disease severity of 36.3% followed by Selangor 20.7%, Perak 20.2%
and Pahang 20.4 % respectively. The study found that all the sampled areas have
exceeded threshold limit, which is 5%. Mean population density of fields having
Pratylenchus spp. from 20 g roots and 200 g soil were significantly different, where
population mean of Selangor, (root= 838 and soil= 897), (root= 18,050 and soil=
13,056) in Johor, (root= 2341 and soil= 461) Perak and (root= 11,315 and soil= 7,199)
Pahang were recorded. Other plant-parasitic nematodes identified were Rotylenchulus
spp., Meloidogyne spp., Helicotylenchus spp., Hoplolaimus spp. and Radophulus simili.
Pathological reaction of P. coffeae against banana cultivar berangan (Musa paradisica)
multiplications was observed after 12 weeks of growth. There were significant
differences in vegetative growth within the various pathogens inoculation levels
evaluated. Multiplication factors ranged between 1.6-4 in P. coffeae. Reduction in root
length (-23.68 to -84.95), shoot length (-13.11 to -45.80), root weights (-21.30 to -99.85)
and shoot weight (-9.30 to -61.62) lengths were recorded at (P≤ 0.05) level of
probability. Banana cultivar berangan showed high level of susceptibility through the
activity of polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase-induced resistance at all days after
inoculation with P. coffeae compared to the control, except at week 12 where it declined
or non-significant with the control. Our observations from this study, revealed that P.
coffeae is among the most damaging plant-parasitic nematode species associated with
banana in Peninsular Malaysia replacing R. similis, which is seldom reported or localized to a particular area and in low densities, followed by Meloidogyne spp. That it
is common on banana cultivar berangan in this country, and that its geographical
distribution is not restricted. Although the morphological study of the female
populations of P. coffeae from Peninsular Malaysia gave some little variation in
morphology from the reference sources, we resolved that these variations are within the
range of the previously described morphological variations in P. coffeae populations
from other parts of the world, thus, confirming that the isolates were P. coffeae. In
general, the glass house pathogenicity trial of P. coffeae, suppresses vegetative growth
of the banana cultivar berangan significantly. Root lesion indexes showed higher disease
severity at all inoculum levels evaluated. It can be concluded that P. coffeae is widely
distributed and caused significant damage to banana crop in Peninsular Malaysia

Prevalence of HIV P24 Antigen; A Sensitive Marker among Seronegative Antibody Blood Donors in Some Hospitals Within Kaduna Metropolis, Nigeria
No full textDetecting and monitoring HIV infection is crucial for effective disease management. The p24 antigen serves as an early viral marker in HIV diagnosis. Despite advancements in diagnosis and monitoring, there is a need for a comprehensive assessment of p24 antigen prevalence in HIV cases. Therefore, this study aims to ascertain the prevalence of p24 antigen among a diverse population of blood donors in Kaduna metropolis. The study recruited 261 blood donors aged between 18 and 55 from various blood bank units in the metropolis. Initial HIV status determination utilized the Immune-Chromatographic Determine® HIV rapid test kit, followed by re-screening with UnigoldRecombigen HIV 1 and 2, boasting 99.70% specificity and 100% sensitivity. HIGHTOP (HIV) ELISA test kit was employed to screen HIV antibody-negative blood donors for HIV p24 antigen. Additionally, demographic factors like gender, residency, age, and marital status were taken into account. Results indicated p24 antigen detection in 9 out of 261 blood samples, yielding a prevalence of 3.5%. Conversely, 252 samples tested negative for the antigen, resulting in a prevalence of 96.5%. The study's findings support the assertion that HIV p24 antigen serves as a sensitive marker, advocating for its integration into routine blood donor screening within Kaduna metropolis to enhance HIV infection detection rates

Bernard Pannagl's musa panagaea
No full textBernard Pannag1 (1666-1734, from 1684 member of Societas Jesu) was a gymnaSIUm teacher, predicator and 1ibrarian in the C1ementinum college in Prague. On1y five books of him are known, all of them in latin. One of these is Musa panagaea (edited probab1y in J anuary 1729), a collection of his schoo1 dramatic works. We bring an edition of the first part of the Musa panagaea, name1y the p1ays Joannes Nepomucenus, Divus Joannes Baptista and Romulus, with an introduction to the latin schoo1 drama in the 17. and 18. century and with informations about the author. There are no standard rules for the editions of the latin texts from 17. and 18. century, just some recommendations. The interpunction of that age in Bohemia hasn't been described and explained in detail s yet, and iťs different from the interpunction, which is used in the czech language (and in the enghsh as well) today; in our edition we use the czech modem interpunction so as the text can be easily read by modem readers. In the transcription of the words we respect the specific aspects of the modem latin (as we know especially from the works of Bohuslav Balbín) and we don't rewrite them in the c1assical latin way. Using of accents in the Musa panagaea is regular and we describe some rules, which we respect in the transcription of the text, but these..
Musa Dah i bliżej. Zaczynając od powieści Franza Werfla.
No full textThe subject of the first part of the article is an interpretation of Franz Werfel’s novel Forty days of Musa Dah, published in 1933 and containing in its the name of the place where five thousand Armenians made a stand against the Turks in September and October 1915. The book made the author a national hero of the Armenians. However, this Jewish writer simultaneously sensed the approaching Shoah. Hence, in the second part of the paper, I show how the novel grew in importance during World War II: Musa Dah was compared to the resistance in the Jewish ghettos (e.g. the situation of the population in Bialystok). Janusz Korczak was to discuss the novel in the summer of 1941, also the chronicler of the Warsaw Ghetto, Emmanuel Ringelblum, in June 25, 1942 compared the Warsaw Ghetto to Musa Dah.The subject of the first part of the article is an interpretation of Franz Werfel’s novel Forty days of Musa Dah, published in 1933 and containing in its the name of the place where five thousand Armenians made a stand against the Turks in September and October 1915.

The story of Musa and Khidir in QS. al-Kahfi (18): 60-82 according to Al-Alusi’s perspective
No full textAl-Qur’an contains much of deep messages, like in Q.S al-Kahfi 18:60-82. It told about the story Musa and Khidir’s journey, by using descriptive-analitic method. In this thesis the author have two problem formulations are: 1) How is the story Musa and Khidir in Q.S al-Kahfi: 60-82 according to Tafsir Al-Alusi perspective? 2) What is the relevance of story Musa and Khidir in Q.S al-Kahfi: 60-82 towards learning ethics?
Based on the problem formulation above, the author used two ways to analyze the data First, the author will inventory the verses related to the story of Musa and Khidir , namely Surat al-Kahf: 60-82, then interpret the verses using the perspective of the Tafsīr al-Alusi book in a descriptive-analytic manner so that it can be found out how the construction of the interpretations of these verses is actually comprehensive. Second, from al-alusi interpretation, we will know what is the message from the story. Then from the messages of the story, the author try to seek what is the relevance from the story between the ethic of a student with his teacher.
Based on the method of research above, the author concluds that the story of Musa and Khidir contains three hikmah are Having A Big Enthuasiasm In Learning, Be Polite And Tawadhu' To The Teacher And Having A Patience And Commitment To Learning
