  • De Smet K. 2003. Cheetah in and Around Hoggar National Park in Central Sahara (Algeria)
    de Smet K. 2003. Cheetah in and around Hoggar National Park in Central Sahara (Algeria). Cat News 38(Spring):22-4. Keywords: 1DZ/Acinonyx jubatus/cheetah/Hoggar NP/National Park/North Africa/prey/Sahara/status/ territorial behaviour Abstract: According the studies conducted in the late' 80s, in 2000 and in 2003, the cheetah is largely widespread in the Hoggar Mountains (Algeria) and its surroundings. Their numbers have probably risen since 2000. The potential preys of the cheetah are abundant. However, the cheetah is often killed by the Tuaregs despite their protection status. Cheetahs are reported to move on constantly from one valley to another, but have a territorial behaviour. The absence of competitors allows cheetah to hunt its preys without facing their robbery. The situation may be good in the Tassili Mountains too. D'après les études menées à la fin des années 80, en 2000 et en 2003 le guépard est largement répandu dans les montagnes du Hoggar (Algérie) et ses environs. Leur nombre a probablement augmenté depuis 2000. Les proies potentielles du guépard sont abondantes. Cependant, malgré son statut d'espèce protégée, le guépard est souvent tué par les Touaregs. D'après les observations, les guépards se déplacent constamment d'une vallée à l'autre, mais gardent un comportement territorial. L'absence de compétiteurs permet au guépard de chasser ses proies sans avoir à faire face à leur vol. La situation doit également être bonne dans les montagnes du Tassili.

  • Teaching Interfaith Relations at Universities in the Arab Middle East: Challenges and Strategies
    religions Article Teaching Interfaith Relations at Universities in the Arab Middle East: Challenges and Strategies Josef Meri College of Islamic Studies, Hamad bin Khalifa University, Education City, 34110 Doha, Qatar; [email protected] Abstract: This study explores the present state of teaching Interfaith/Interreligious Relations at universities in the Arab Middle East. First, it considers the definition and various approaches to teaching Interfaith Relations by leading proponents of Interreligious Studies in the West such as Oddbjørn Leirvik and Marianne Moyaert within a theoretical framework that is sensitive to the Arab Middle Eastern context. It explores several key factors in Arab society that have prevented the teaching of Interfaith Relations in universities. The discussion then turns to the unique Dar Al-Kalima University (Palestine) Interreligious Dialogue Inter-Regional Curriculum initiative and its significance for teaching Interfaith Relations in the university. Finally, the study examines the case study method of teaching developed by Diana Eck at Harvard University, which can be adapted to a Middle Eastern context and offers two unique case studies for university teachers. Keywords: interfaith studies; interreligious studies; interfaith dialogue; disruptive education; teach- ing interfaith studies; interfaith relations 1. Introduction Citation: Meri, Josef. 2021.

  • Representing the Algerian Civil War: Literature, History, and the State
    Representing the Algerian Civil War: Literature, History, and the State By Neil Grant Landers A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in French in the GRADUATE DIVISION of the UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY Committee in charge: Professor Debarati Sanyal, Co-Chair Professor Soraya Tlatli, Co-Chair Professor Karl Britto Professor Stefania Pandolfo Fall 2013 1 Abstract of the Dissertation Representing the Algerian Civil War: Literature, History, and the State by Neil Grant Landers Doctor of Philosophy in French Literature University of California, Berkeley Professor Debarati Sanyal, Co-Chair Professor Soraya Tlatli, Co-Chair Representing the Algerian Civil War: Literature, History, and the State addresses the way the Algerian civil war has been portrayed in 1990s novelistic literature. In the words of one literary critic, "The Algerian war has been, in a sense, one big murder mystery."1 This may be true, but literary accounts portray the "mystery" of the civil war—and propose to solve it—in sharply divergent ways. The primary aim of this study is to examine how three of the most celebrated 1990s novels depict—organize, analyze, interpret, and "solve"—the civil war. I analyze and interpret these novels—by Assia Djebar, Yasmina Khadra, and Boualem Sansal—through a deep contextualization, both in terms of Algerian history and in the novels' contemporary setting. This is particularly important in this case, since the civil war is so contested, and is poorly understood. Using the novels' thematic content as a cue for deeper understanding, I engage through them and with them a number of elements crucial to understanding the civil war: Algeria's troubled nationalist legacy; its stagnant one-party regime; a fear, distrust, and poor understanding of the Islamist movement and the insurgency that erupted in 1992; and the unending, horrifically bloody violence that piled on throughout the 1990s.

Once the book is accepted, the Society Book Editors ensure that the volume editors follow strict guidelines on refereeing and quality control. We insist that individual papers can only be accepted after satisfactory review by two independent referees. The questions on the review forms are similar to those for Journal of the Geological Society. The referees’ forms and comments must be available to the Society’s Book Editors on request.

  • Du Ceri Centre D'études Et De Recherches
    les études du Ceri Centre d’Études et de Recherches Internationales Algeria: The Illusion of Oil Wealth Luis Martinez Algeria: The Illusion of Oil Wealth Abstract Thirty years after the nationalization of hydrocarbons Algeria’s oil wealth seems to have disappeared judging by its absence in the country’s indicators of well-being. In Algeria, oil brought happiness to a few and misery for many. The lack of oversight over oil revenue led to the industries downfall. Since 2002, oil wealth has returned to Algeria. The per-barrel price increase from $30 to $147 between 2002 and 2008 provided the country with unexpected revenue enabling it to accumulate an estimated $150 billion in dollar reserves, in 2009. Abdelaziz Bouteflika, who returned to a devastated Algeria to restore civil order, unexpectedly benefited from this price increase. Thus, he was able to offer Algeria not only national reconciliation but also renewed economic growth. However, given that the wounds of the 1990s are not entirely healed and the illusions of oil wealth have evaporated with the randomness of economic instability, this unexpected return of financial abundance raises concerns. To what ends will this windfall be put? Who will control it? Will it provoke or sustain a renewal of violence and conflict? Les illusions de la richesse pétrolière Résumé Trente ans après la nationalisation des hydrocarbures, la richesse pétrolière accumulée semble disparue tant elle est absente des indicateurs d’évaluation du bien être. En Algérie, elle a fait le bonheur d’une minorité et la tristesse de la majorité. L’absence de contrôle exercé sur la rente pétrolière a conduit à sa dilapidation.

  • BIOGEOGRAPHY of DIPTERA 9 Ashley H
    SURICATA 4 (2017) 203 BIOGEOGRAPHY OF DIPTERA 9 Ashley H. Kirk-Spriggs and Burgert S. Muller Introduction is central to the concept of speciation by natural selection as promulgated by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace. Biogeography entails the study of the geographic distribution of taxa and their attributes in space and time. This requires Studies of the distribution patterns of Diptera have been in- the interpretation of a suite of abiotic and biotic information fluential in biogeographical thought, e.g., Brundin (1966), de sets, if the distribution of organisms is to be understood. Many Jong (1998), Hennig (1960), Matile (1990) and Munroe (1974) factors are obvious, such as geology, topography, elevation, (Cranston 2005: 274), but probably less so than for more sed- precipitation, soil types and vegetation, but the relations to entary groups of invertebrates. More recent published diptero- palaeoclimatology, evaporation rates and proximity to the sea, logical studies have focused primarily on disjunctions between mountains and arid zones are more problematic to explain. In continental faunas, especially ancient groups exhibiting an recent years, data on palynology, palaeobotany, palaeontology, austral vicariance pattern attributable to common Gondwanan geomorphology, plate tectonics, volcanism, desertification and continental ancestry (e.g., Cranston & Edwards 1992; Krosch other climatic trends, has increased greatly. et al. 2011; Martin et al. 2003; Miranda-Esquivel & Coscarón 2003; Sæther & Ekrem 2003; Sinclair 2003) (see below). Diptera species occur in ranges governed by such biotic and abiotic environmental factors and distribution ranges are Stuckenberg (1962) published an account of palaeogenic determined by physical and climatic factors and topography, (meaning of, or relating to the Paleogene period) elements while environmental parameters also constrain distributions.
