The Cestodes, Echinococcus granulosusand Echinococcus multilocularis are the causative agents of hydatid disease. Dog
is the definitive host while humans are accidental intermediate hosts. The liver and lungs are commonly affected though
other exotic sites can also be uncommonly affected. This is of great clinical relevance because of the risk of anaphylaxis
during inadvertent surgical exploration or other invasive procedures. Imaging and hydatid serology (Indirect
Hemagglutination, Immunoelectrophoresis, ELISA and Western Blot) are the key to pre-operative diagnosis. We present
a series of hydatid cysts presenting at unusual sites including kidney, parotid, and ovary and limb muscle. Hydatid cyst
should be suspected in the differential diagnosis of any cystic lesion particularly in endemic areas.

The focus of this paper is on fiscal federalism and its effects on national integration in Nigeria. The paper was aimed at
explaining the nature of fiscal federalism in Nigeria and the relationship between fiscal federalism and national
integration. The theoretical framework for the paper was the Public Goods Theory. The historical/descriptive analytical
approach was the method of the study which relied largely on secondary sources of data collection, such as journals,
textbooks, internet and newspapers. The recommendation of the paper among others is that the lasting solution to the
problems confronting Nigeria‟s fiscal federalism lies in the readjustment of the tax revenue sharing power of the
federation in an equitable manner among the component units which currently angle in favour of the federal government.
Conclusively, the paper states that a united country and people are in a better position to ably confront its crises of
development, nationhood and stability if there is truly fiscal federalism. National integration is a serious and purposeful
endeavour, the failure of which has grave consequences to any nation.

With the acceleration of globalization and the increasingly complex international situation, language is not only a written
symbol, but also a social and cultural function to mark countries and nations. Great changes have taken place in people's
view of language. Some linguists are no longer confined to the study of micro-linguistic phenomena such as
pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar, but focus more on macro-linguistic phenomena closely related to national
interests and national security. Especially with the development of modern informationization in recent years, language
policy has also become an important topic of concern to linguists. This paper discusses the research of American
minority language policy based on knowledge base from the research background, research purposes, research ideas,
research methods, innovations, and theoretical and practical significance.

This paper examines pre-Kanuri Borno societies focusing more on the „So‟ that were not given much relevance
historically. It is in this view that the paper attempts to examine the place of the pre-Kanuri inhabitants of Borno in the
history of the area and bring to the fore their contributions to human civilization, particularly in the Chad Basin Area
before the arrival of the Sayfawa into Borno. It appears like the history of Borno started only with the coming of the
Sayfawa into the area as documented in most reference materials. The „So‟ were the most notable pre-Kanuri inhabitants
of Borno. Perhaps there were many ethnic groups who probably dispersed to other locations in the Benue Valley, Bauchi
Plateau and some parts of Hausa land. These groups of people left some imprints in terms of civilization that we are able
to understand through archaeological and ethnographical researches. The Method that was adopted in writing this paper
is documentary analysis, using a multidisciplinary approach that cut across history, ethnography, archaeology and oral
tradition. Data collected were critically analysed and interpreted. Findings revealed that the area was well inhabited long
before the arrival of the Sayfawa, although, little was known about the pre-Kanuri inhabitants due to lack of enough
sources to contend with. In conclusion, the area is noted for a civilization that flourished for thousands of years. As such,
there is the need for more research on the area to reveal more on the pre-Kanuri Sayfawa people.

The Arab Spring has been shaped by successive episodes of the revolutions of freedom, the largest geopolitical
movement that has rocked the Arab world and the Middle East since the 1960s, which witnessed the eruption of the socalled national revolution that sanctified the Arab exodus from the yoke of old colonialism and their aspiration to
independence, freedom, dignity and national sovereignty, like other nations. This study aimed at determines the role
played by the Jordanian society during the Syrian crisis in all fields, and to identify the impact of the Syrian crisis on
Jordanian society (education, and health). In order to achieve the objective of the study, a questionnaire was designed as a
main tool for collecting data. It included (54) items divided into four variables (educatione and health). The sample
comprised of (177) individual's that selected randomly from all employees of the Jordanian Refugee Affairs Directorate
of the Ministry of Interior. After the distribution of the questionnaire and data collection, the SPSS software was used to
answer the study questions through the use of descriptive analysis. The study found that there is great impact of Syrian
asylum on Jordanian society in all aspects, the threats facing Jordan, due to Syrian asylum, are not only linked to direct
security and military threats Syrian refugees have exhausted economic infrastructure and resources in Jordan, and Jordan
faces significant challenges to its economic resources under Syrian asylum. In the light of the results the study
recommended that the Syrian crisis, its continuation and its impact on Jordan require a new course through the holistic
approach to transform the Syrian refugee crisis into a development opportunity that positively reflected on host
communities and refugees.

This study examines the instrumentality of English in writing good research papers. Writing is an interesting intellectual
process. Research papers cover a wide range of topics. Poor mastery of English in English-speaking non-native regions is
evident in research papers, and this is unacceptable. The study hinges on an integrative theoretical underpinning which
explores insights from contemporary English grammar and principles of writing. Data are generated from research papers
across academic disciplines. They are analyzed in terms of the conventions of English (grammar and vocabulary) and
principles of writing that the writers have either articulated or violated. This study concludes that effective use of English
in research papers presupposes use of correct spellings, appropriate vocabulary, grammatical constructions, progressive
paragraphs, accurate transitional expressions, creative description of phenomena and proposition-reporting verbs.

This article examines how Habermas‘s theory of communicative action provides insights for mediation processes and
conflict resolution in general. It lays its assumptions that people in society are in relationship and that presuppositions of
argumentation proposed by Habermas can assist direct focus on fundamental elements of conflict resolution. Kenya in
the wake of the violently disputed presidential elections of 2007 is undergoing a transition period where both the
perpetrators and the victims of the violence are seeking justice and reparation respectively. Inherent in the process is the
emerging debate on reconciliation and retribution. The failure of International Criminal Court (ICC) to successfully
prosecute the six suspects who had been indicted to face charges of criminal culpability in the post-election violence
builds a case for alternative conflict resolution approaches. The paper adopts a methodology that discusses the mediation
process through conceptual metaphors used in reference to ICC. A closer interpretation of the metaphors can assist the
parties to prepare a resolution process that derives from Habermas ideas of the ‗conditions of communication‘. This paper
proposes the use of these ideas to constrain abuses of their authority, and ultimately offer mediators a new opportunity to
help re-establish positive relationships thereby contributing to the post-election violence transition debate in the postelection violent Kenyan society.

Metaphor, as a common linguistic phenomenon, has been the focus for most linguists. In recent decades, as metaphor
highly concentrated on the political discourse development, more and more linguists have begun to emphasize on
metaphorical use in politics. However, scholars pay less attention to Chinese political discourse metaphors. Critical
metaphor analysis is a new metaphor research method proposed by Charteris-Black in 2004 with the intention to reveal
the hidden ideology, attitude and beliefs concealed in discourses. The paper attempts to conduct Critical Metaphor
Analysis approach to the analysis of Chinese Government Work Report. With collecting the data of Chinese Government
Work Report in 2018 from official website, the paper aims to analyze its potential metaphorical functions and reveal the
hidden ideology of the Chinese government work report. Meanwhile, the present paper is supposed to provide a new
perspective to the theoretical research in the area of CMA. Besides, it is expected that the research will help government
promote its political ideology and help the populace understand better the policies of our government.

Jatropha oil is considered one of the most important vegetable oil can use as biodiesel. This study was studied the genetic
variations of Egyptian Jatropha curcas. Analysis of the five SSR loci with the ten of genotypes detected a total of 10
bands or alleles with 60 % polymorphism. The results showed that genotypes having the allele with the JCDS10 SSR
locus (116bp) were 42 times more likely to have a high (above 10%) oleic acid content compared with these without this
allele. The same results were obtained with the SSR loci JMDB57 and JCPS20 (alleles 82bp and 108bp) and increased
odds to 3.8 and 3.6, respectively). While, allele at the JEM100 (140bp) SSR locus was showed negatively correlated with
oleic acid content and exhibits a decreased odds (0.035) of having high (above 10%) oleic acid content. On other hand,
Oleic acid content might be independent from the alleles at JCKASII SSR locus (OR=1.0). Moreover, the G9 oil
specification was matched with European’s standard. The Values of Oil density, Viscosity and Iodine Value were 0.85
gm/cc, 34 cp and 96.5 mg. I2. g-1, respectively. Altogether, we can conculcated that the 5 SSR loci can use for study the
genetic variations of Egyptian Jatropha curcas on a molecular basis. In addition, genotype 9 could be useful parental line
for developing mapping population to map EST-SSRs (transcribed regions).

Since long there has been persistent controversy among Prosthodontists regarding the Camper’s line or Ala-tragus line
which helps in establishing the occlusal plane in edentulous patients. Which posterior part of the tragus of ear has to be
taken into consideration? It is the superior border of tragus or middle or Inferior border of tragus. Some authors postulate
the usage of superior border whereas some postulate the usage of inferior border and very few postulate the usage of
inferior border. To solve this controversy the present study was undertaken and we did cephalometric tracing on
dentulous patients with different types of malocclusions and applied our results in the edentulous patients. Different
Angle’s molar relation Class II, Class II and Class III were considered in the study there lateral cephalograms were
obtained on which cephalometric tracings were performed and the parallelism of campers line was checked with the
occlusal plane with all the three points i.e Superior, middle and Inferior border of tragus of ear. Result revealed that the
line drawn from the inferior border was much more parallel to the occlusal plane of dentulous patient than the middle and
superior borders.
