THE ANATOMY OF FAVORINUS JAPONICUS BABA (NUDIBRANCHIA-EOLIDOIDEA)
No full textFavorinus GRAY, 1850 is a splendid genus, the distinctive characters of which were introduced in parts by ALDER & HANCOCK, 1855, and somewhat more effectively by ODHNER, 1939 (see also MACNAE, 1954a, pp. 17-19). Eolis alba A. & H., 1844, Atlantic, forms the type of the genus. A series of species were added to this genus by the senior author (F. pacificus BABA, 1937; F. japonicus BABA, 1949; F. perfoliatus BABA, 1949; and F. mirabilis BABA, 1955), and it was revealed that the rhinophores in Favorinus are either simple, or bulbed, or even perfoliated according to different species. Here F. japonicus BABA was taken up for special study in anatomy, with the hope to understand the various genetic features more profoundly than before. Apparently this species is one of those nearest to the type of the genus, particularly in having bulbs on the mid-length of the rhinophores
Niger, uranium, and the coup d'etat
No full textPayne Institute ESG Researcher Baba Freeman writes about how the recent coup d'etat in Niger, a key supplier of uranium, has created some level of anxiety in the market and brought forward new questions for stakeholders across the industry and the West African sub-region.

Investors in African mining ventures must refresh their risk management processes
No full textPayne Institute Research Associate Baba Freeman writes about how the frequency of coup d'etats in the Sahel region is troubling and calls for mining investors to refresh their political risk assessment processes. The recent trend of militarization must surely prod investors to further assess the likelihood and possible impact of military interventions and incorporate key takeaways from current events into their risk management tools and processes. While the risk of a total loss of capital due to outright warfare can be assessed deterministically, subjective measures of political instability can substantially impact the "country risk" premium that mining investors must pay over and above the risk-free cost of capital

"Strilni kamen" s Baba lokve
No full textThe author analyzes the prehistoric stone axe-hammer found at the Baba lokva medieval settlement site in Kaštela (14th to 17th centuries), observing it from the aspect of mythological perception
of such finds as apotropaic objects (amulets, talismans). Drawing numerous ethnological parallels in Croatia, Bosnia and other parts of Central Europe and archaeological parallels in northern Croatia (Ludbreg – Iovia, Paka fortification) and Dalmatia (Begovača – Biljane Donje), the author argues that the Baba lokva axe was used to protect dwellings from lightning or, perhaps, as a personal protection of its owner who carried it. It is a custom that has been preserved since the prehistoric pagan (proto-Slavic and proto-Indo-European) times, surviving to this day as part of traditional culture.Autor obrađuje nalaz prapovijesne kamene sjekire-čekića na srednjovjekovnom naseobinskom lokalitetu Baba lokva u Kaštelima
(14. – 17. st.) s aspekta mitološkog poimanja takvih nalaza kao apotropejskih predmeta (amuleti, talismani). Pomoću brojnih etnoloških paralela u Hrvatskoj i Bosni, kao i u široj srednjoeuropskoj regiji, te arheoloških paralela u sjevernoj Hrvatskoj (Ludbreg – Iovia, utvrda Paka) i u Dalmaciji (Begovača – Biljane Donje) dokazuje da je sjekira s Baba lokve bila u funkciji zaštite nastambi od groma ili možda osobne zaštite vlasnika koji ju je nosio. Radi se o običaju koji je preživio kao sirvival iz poganskih prapovijesnih vremena (praslavenskih i praindoeuropskih) i zadržao se do naših dana kao dio
