The Connection between Language and Identity: the Yoruba-Arabic Literates and The Street Urchins of Ibadan
The current paper is dedicated to investigate the connection between language and identity, with a special reference to two ambivalent social groups in Ibadan, i.e., the Yoruba-Arab literates and the street urchins. The research shall be carried out with samples of online videos as well as other online resources. One major phenomenon that connects people with varying degrees of social status, religious, ages etc. is the language they speak. In every society, language plays a herculean task in reflecting the identity of the people, and in most times, its usage shows the social class of the speaker. It is incontrovertible that, language and identity go together. We identify people and affiliate them with certain tribe, race or ethnic as the result of language they speak. In other words, we may say, there is no identity without language, this is because the language we speak gives people the opportunity to link us with certain community

Kepuasan Kerja Di Kalangan Atendan Kesihatan Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kubang Kerian, Kelantan
The concept of job satisfaction had been formed since 70 years ago. Driven by the goals to increase productivity and organization's profit, job satisfaction had been extensively studied especially in the field of management and psychology. Study done in this thesis are based on 2- Factor Theory by Frederick Herzberg with the objectives to identify (a) level of job satisfaction amongst Health Attendant in the Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia
(HUSM) in general (b) whether there are differences in job satisfaction amongst Health Attendant based on demographic atttributes of sex, level of education and period of service (c) whether there are relationship and influence of motivator factors and hygiene factors with job satisfaction amongst Health Attendant in HUSM (d) whether motivator factors and hygiene factors could significantly explain the variance in job satisfaction and (e) the most
suitable element in predicting job satisfaction. Questionnaire divided with 3 sections are the instrument used in this study. Section A of the questionnaire consist of items related with demographic attributes. Section B are based on questionnaire developed by Brayfield -
Rothe (1951) which consist of items to measure job satisfaction in general while Section C composed of questionnaire to measure 14 elements of job satisfaction adopted from Faculty Opinion Survey by Seegmiller (1977) and subsequently modified by Abu Bakar Hashim (1 985). 189 Health Attendant were the sample of this study. Data were analysed by SPSS Version 10.0 and descriptive statistics, Pearson Product-Moment correlation analysis, t-test, ANOVA test, multiple regression and Stepwise regression analysis were used as statistical tools. Findings of the study indicate that (a) 14.8% of Health Attendant has high
job satisfaction, 84.7% in medium job satisfaction and 0.5% with low job satisfaction (b) there are significant differences in job satisfaction based on demographic attribute along level of education. There are no significant differences in job satisfaction along sex and
period of service (c) there are significant relationship between job satisfaction with motivator factors but insignificant with hygiene factors. In term of influence, both motivator and hygiene factors has influencial impact on job satisfaction (d) both motivator and hygiene factors could explain the variance in job satisfaction (e) element of recognition appears as the best predictor for job satisfaction (f) two elements of motivator factors i.e recognition and job itself and one element under hygiene factors i.e personal life constitute 3 best elements in explaining variance in job satisfaction
Qualified audit reports of local authorities in the northern states of Malaysia
The reliability of information presented in the financial reports of local authorities is of utmost importance to enable the public to measure their performance in terms of efficiency and effectiveness in using public resources. The task to provide such an assurance lies with the Auditor General, who has been entrusted to enforce the auditing compliance regulations. A certificate in the form of “unqualified,” “qualified,” “adverse,” or “disclaimer” accompanied by a report on the financial affairs of the local authorities concerned will be issued after the Auditor General completes the audit of the local authorities’ financial statements. Our study on 14 local authorities comprising municipal and district councils in
the Malaysian States of Perlis, Kedah and Penang found that the Qualified Certificate is the common type of audit certificate issued to the local authorities concerned during the period 1997-2001(inclusive of both years). Discrepancies in “Fixed Assets Register” ranked first among the audit incidents that led towards non-compliance to the audit procedures. This was followed by discrepancies in “Other Receivables” and “Cash Flow Statements” which ranked second and third positions respectively. Our finding also shows that size does not grant any advantage to the bigger local authority in reducing the number of audit incidents

CP Asymmetry in Charged Higgs Decays to Chargino-Neutralino
We analyze the charge-parity (CP) asymmetry in the charged Higgs boson decays
to chargino-neutralino pairs, H^- -> chargino_i + neutralino_j. We show first
that these modes have a large branching ratio for m_H^- > 600 GeV. We use
Cutkosky rules to obtain the analytical formulas needed for the evaluation of
the asymmetry under consideration. We then calculate the CP asymmetry in
chargino-neutralino decays by including supersymmetric mass bounds, as well as
constraints from b -> s gamma, (g-2)_mu, Delta\rho and electric dipole moments.
Finally, we discuss observability of the asymmetry at the LHC by calculating
the number of required charged Higgs events to observe the asymmetry for each
decay channel. We show that the inclusion of constraints considerably reduces
the projected CP asymmetry, and that the optimal channel for observing the
asymmetry is H^- -> chargino_1 + neutralino_2.Comment: 23 pages, 8 figures, one tabl
Muslim community response on impacts of globalization
This article looks at the globalization from both, conventional and Islamic perspectives. The concept of globalization, if implemented fairly, is in line with Islamic teaching. Therefore, it is important for the Muslims to examine its response towards globalization. Muslims must be able to identify the strategic issues with regard to globalization and develop concrete measures that are implementable, as well as to be able to differentiate between the positive and negative impact of globalization. More educational and economic cooperation must be established among Muslim countries, and Muslims need to engage in more scientific research in all areas of education, economy, science and technology. The Western scholars have interest in issues in the Muslim world. They look at these issues systemically and methodically, and they seemed to show an inclination towards an open attitude in accepting the relevance of Islam in the modern world. Therefore it is really important to have research cooperation with them
