    In the history of South Asian literature in English, Men and Rivers is the third fictional work written by a Muslim author after Rokeya's Sultana's Dream and Ahmed Ali's Twilight in Delhi (1940). Men and Rivers is a literary work of great merit though more research needs to be conducted on the work to appreciate its value by examining various thematic and stylistic features. Through Men and Rivers, Hamayun Kabir conferred on Faridpur literary immortality. I believe the novel will continue to make the district memorable and special to its readers for a very long time

    Assessment of human-leopard conflict in Machiara National Park, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan

    Livestock depredation by leopards is one of the key conservation issues in landscapes with limited resources worldwide. Any attempts to mitigate human-leopard conflict and conserve the species in conflict should be based on an unequivocal understanding of the conflict patterns. A household survey was conducted with an intention to quantify livestock losses resulting from depredation by leopards in and around the Machiara National Park, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan. A total of 301 livestock were killed between June 2007 and August 2008 by leopards. The extent of loss varied in different months, with maximum killing occurring in the month of May. Small-bodied livestock such as goats and sheep were more vulnerable than large-bodied cattle. Goats were killed in significantly higher numbers as compared to other livestock. Domestic animals were killed more frequently at night as compared to other times of the day. There was a significant effect of the nighttime protection measures on depredation. Most attacks happened in valleys and in areas far from the forests. Factors most closely associated with livestock depredation included decline of natural prey, herding practices, guarding especially during the nighttime, and repeated use of pastures where predators were known to be hunting actively. Attitudes of the local community towards leopards were largely negative, and further efforts should be made to improve support for carnivore conservation. We suggest widespread local community education and proactive human-leopard conflict management, particularly through adopting carnivore-friendly livestock protection measures.AJ&K wildlife & Fisheries departmen

    Metaspace, mobility and resistance: Understanding vendors’ movement pattern as a resistive strategy in Kano, Nigeria

    No full text
    The street vendor's (SV) potential mobility in subverting authorities' hegemony over public space has been theorised within the contexts of urban informality and resistance. Discussions mainly revolve around movement tactics as resistance strategy while evading arrests and confiscations. This negates SV agency and limits understanding mobility in resistance. Using Bunschoten's metaspace and Cresswell's aspects of mobility, this paper employs semi-structured interviews with mobile SV, road users and pedestrians in Kano (Nigeria), to describe vendors' mobile practices and how they delay hostility from the state. Observing the interplay between vendors, users and environment, this paper identifies four types of vendor movement: focused, targeted, sporadic and self-regulatory; and examines how vendors exploit Cresswell's speed and rhythm in challenging formal urban practice hegemony through continuous operation. The paper also describes how vendors' movement affects other actors' mobilities. Finally, the paper discusses urban design implications for integrating SV within city plans, setting out potential proposals

    NILAI-NILAI TASAWUF DALAM QS AL-KAHFI [18]: 27-46 (Analisis Terhadap Penafsiran Muhammad Utsman Abdullah Al-Mirghani Dalam Kitab Taj al-Tafasir li Kalam al-Malik al-Kabir)

    ABSTRAK Skripsi ini berjudul, “Nilai-Nilai Tasawuf Dalam QS al-Kahfi [18]: 27-46 (Analisis Terhadap Penafsiran Muhammad Utsman Abdullah Al-Mirghani Dalam Kitab Taj Al-Tafasir li Kalam Al-Malik Al-Kabir)”. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap nilai-nilai tasawuf dalam QS al-Kahfi [18]: 27-46 di dalam kitab tafsir Taj al-Tafasir li Kalam al-Malik al-Kabir karya Muhammad Utsman Abdullah Al-Mirghani. Muhammad Ustman Abdullah Al-Mirghani adalah seorang ulama’ yang dikenal sebagai salah satu tokoh sufi sekaligus ahli tafsir. Hal tersebut menjadi asumsi dasar dalam penelitian ini bahwa produk tafsir yang dihasilkan oleh Al-Mirghani tidak terlepas dari pengaruh sufistik yang dimilikinya. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini mengajukan dua rumusan pertanyaan sebagai berikut: pertama, bagaimana bentuk penafsiran Muhammad Utsman Abdullah Al-Mirghani terhadap QS al-Kahfi [18]: 27-46? Kedua, apa saja nilai-nilai tasawuf yang terkandung dalam penafsiran Muhammad Utsman Abdullah Al-Mirghani terhadap QS al-Kahfi [18]: 27-46? Untuk menjawab rumusan masalah tersebut penulis menggunakan metode tafsir tematik dan menggunakan jenis penelitian library research serta menggunakan teknik analisis data content analysis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa bentuk penafsiran Muhammad Utsman Abdullah Al-Mirghani terhadap QS al-Kahfi [18]: 27-46 menggunakan metode tafsir ijmali yang bersumber dari ayat al-Qur’an dan hadis, dan memiliki corak tafsir sufi al-isyari.

Adapun nilai-nilai tasawuf yang terkandung dalam QS al-Kahfi [18]: 27-46 adalah sabar, zuhud, ikhlas, syukur, dan wara’. Kata Kunci: Tasawuf, Al-Kahfi, Tafsir, Al-Mirghani, Taj al-Tafasi

    Energy efficiency in residential buildings using nano-wood composite materials

    Wood is one of the conventional building materials in the world, due to its availability and sustainability in nature. The electric and thermal conductivity of wood have made it exceptional among the other conventional construction materials. Nevertheless, wood has deficiencies such as deterioration as a result of fungal and insect attack, vulnerability to fire and dimensional variability to water absorption. Nanotechnology has been in use in other scientific and technological fields for long period of time, but it is still fresh to some extent in architecture. When nanotechnology is applied to the conventional wood, a nono-wood composite will be produce with enhanced properties such as mechanical strength, fire resistance, durability, water immersion. This paper is aimed at examining how wood as a conventional building material can be enhanced using nanotechnology. It further consıders the conservation of energy in residential buildings through the building integrated nano-wood technology
