    THE LANGUAGE OF THE MODHUPUR MANDI (GARO) Vol. II: The Lexicon Robbins Burling University of Michigan Ann Arbor, Michigan April 2003 c 2003 by Robbins Burling Table of Contents ONE The Lexicon 1 TWO Survival Word List 335 THREE Intermediate Word List 345 FOUR English Index of Mandi Words 391 REFERENCES 457 INTRODUCTION TO VOLUME II When I ¯rst went to live among the Mandis in Bangladesh I had no intention of making a study of the lexicon, but I wanted to gain some uency in the language and I began to collect words for my own use. As the words accumulated I found it helpful to sort them into rough semantic categories: kinship terms here, body parts there, trees in some other place. Gradually, I became fascinated by, even addicted to, the search for words, and as my lists grew, I kept looking for ways to sort them. I even hoped that a plausible sorting might reveal something about the workings of the language, and not merely reect my own preconceptions of how words ought to be organized. My methodology was simplicity itself. When a category grew big enough to become cumbersome, I looked for a way to divide it into smaller but still coherent categories. This worked well enough for some areas. Kin- ship terms fell naturally into those for men and for women, and for older and younger generations. Mandi names for animals could be sorted, as easily as English words, among birds, ¯sh, land animals and bugs. Vast areas of the vocabulary fell into no such clear categories, however, and there were many hundreds of words that would ¯t easily in three or four di®erent places.

  • AMONG YORUBA WOMEN of SOUTH-WESTERN NIGERIA By
    CAJES Vol. 6 No 2 | SEPTEMBER 2020 CAJES: Capital Journal of Educational Studies, 2020, 6(2), page 100– 111. ISSN: 2996 – 103X. ©2020 FCT College of Education Zuba Abuja. http://fctcoezjournals.org HAIRDO AND HEAD-COVER: FASHION EXPRESSION OF REPOSITORY OF ‘ORI’ AMONG YORUBA WOMEN OF SOUTH-WESTERN NIGERIA By Adeoti Adebowale. A Department of Fine and Applied Arts FCT College of Education Zuba-Abuja Email: [email protected] (Received May 14, 2020 and accepted June 1, 2020) Abstract The Yoruba women of South-Western Nigeria are fashionable people just like other women around the world. Every part of their body is a symbolic feature of beauty, especially the head (ori) which is considered as ‘eleda’ (Immortal spiritual being) and the seat of power of the body. Hence, the head must be taken care of with special attention owing to its spiritual and biological significance. The need to take care of ones eleda is informed by various ways which Yoruba women extravagantly decorate their head with fashion adornment as part of the care of the head. The craft of hairdo and wearing of head-cover (gele) is an artistic legacy of beauty from the past and their significance has been emphasized through Yoruba philosophical practices from time immemorial. The main peculiarity is that Yoruba hairstyles and head-cover were not created just for beautification but as means of differentiation. Such differentiation could be religious, on the basis of gender, marital status, age, mood, political orientation etc. In this study, attention is therefore paid toward exemplifying the use of visual and cultural materials to make a fashion statement in the care of women’s head.

  • Jet Properties in Pbpb and Pp Collisions at 5.02
    EUROPEAN ORGANIZATION FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH (CERN) CERN-EP-2018-011 2018/05/25 CMS-HIN-16-020 p Jet properties in PbPb and pp collisions at sNN = 5.02 TeV The CMS Collaboration∗ Abstract Modifications of the properties of jets in PbPb collisions, relative top those in pp col- lisions, are studied at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of sNN = 5.02 TeV via correlations of charged particles with the jet axis in relative pseudorapidity (pDh), relative azimuth (Df), and relative angular distance from the jet axis Dr = (Dh)2 + (Df)2. This analysis uses data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 404 mb−1 and 27.4 pb−1 for PbPb and pp collisions, respectively. Charged particle number densities, jet fragmentation functions, and jet shapes are presented as a function of PbPb collision centrality and charged-particle track transverse momentum, providing a differential description of jet modifications due to interactions with the quark-gluon plasma.

One of the well-established properties of the QGP is its high opacity to such penetrating probes, resulting in significant energy loss of partons traversing the hot nuclear matter.

  • The CMS Trigger System
    EUROPEAN ORGANIZATION FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH (CERN) CERN-EP/2016-160 2017/01/26 CMS-TRG-12-001 The CMS trigger system The CMS Collaboration∗ Abstract This paper describes the CMS trigger system and its performance during Run 1 of the LHC. The trigger system consists of two levels designed to select events of potential physics interest from a GHz (MHz) interaction rate of proton-proton (heavy ion) col- lisions. The first level of the trigger is implemented in hardware, and selects events containing detector signals consistent with an electron, photon, muon, t lepton, jet, or missing transverse energy. A programmable menu of up to 128 object-based algo- rithms is used to select events for subsequent processing. The trigger thresholds are adjusted to the LHC instantaneous luminosity during data taking in order to restrict the output rate to 100 kHz, the upper limit imposed by the CMS readout electronics. The second level, implemented in software, further refines the purity of the output stream, selecting an average rate of 400 Hz for offline event storage. The objectives, strategy and performance of the trigger system during the LHC Run 1 are described.

  • Imperialism and Loss of Identity in Second Hand Clothes
    Vol.9. No.1. JOURNAL OF LANGUAGE, TECHNOLOGY & ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN AFRICA 2018 Imperialism and Loss of Identity in Second Hand Clothes: The Nigerian Okrika Experience Mohammed Abubakar, Joseph Oluyemi, Raji Abdulateef, Atolagbe Emmanuel Department of Sociology, University of Ilorin, Nigeria. Joseph Adejoke Department of Medical Microbiology and Parasitology, Bowen University, Nigeria Taiwo Motolani Williams Department of Education, Babcock University, Nigeria. Abstract The use second hand clothes in Nigerian have been around for decades. Among other benefits it provides is clothing for those who cannot afford to buy new ones and employment opportunities for the teeming population. However, the use of second hand clothes by many Nigerians seems to have eroded the rich cultural heritage of traditional dress culture which hitherto existed among many cultures and societies in the country. It has also paved way for imperialism by former colonial masters thereby, making Nigerians to succumb to pressures dictated by fashion, civilization, modernity, necessity, and survival instinct. This has further helped to forge a relationship of dependency on the West and in many ways preventing Nigeria from developing in many ramifications. This study explores the factors responsible for the continuous use of second hand clothes by Nigerians and the measures that could be put in place to ensure that this problem is addressed. Some of the measures suggested in the paper to forestalling the use of second hand clothes in Nigeria include: enforcing the law prohibiting second hand clothes in the country, import substitution, leadership by example, reducing the prevailing poverty rate and cultivating the spirit of patriotism. Keywords: Poverty, Employment Opportunities, Brand Names, Affordability, Durability, Import Substitution, Patriotism.

Degree awarded June 2020 II © 2020 Palita Chunsaengchan III DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Palita Chunsaengchan Doctor of Philosophy Department of Comparative Literature June 2020 Title: “Ruling Aesthetics: Intermediality, Media Modernity and Early Thai Cinema (1868-1942)” My dissertation investigates the unexplored connections among cinema, prose and poetry in Thai history, extending from the period of the reign of King Chulalongkorn (1868-1910) through the decade following the Siamese Revolution of 1932. Across the various chapters, I expand the archives both of early Thai cinema and Thai literary history. I draw together readings of Sanookneuk (1886), the first fictional work of Thai prose, film reviews written as Thai poetry (1922), governmental letters calling for censorship of the purportedly first Thai film (1923), as well as promotional essays in English on the state-sponsored film, The King of the White Elephant (1941).
