The paper dwelt on exemplification of the role of early Muslim world in pioneering modern knowledge with a magnification of the legacies that these torchbearers in Islam bequeathed to the world. The peculiarity of Nigeria as a nation with more than half of its entire population as Muslims was retrospectively reviewed from the pre-colonial to colonial-era; focusing on scholasticism. The study was examined purely from the historical perspective, to appraise how the impressive efforts of the early Muslim pioneers of modern knowledge in Medicine, Chemistry, Physics, Astronomy, Geometry, Mathematics, History, Geography and Biological Sciences were undertaken. The study did not finish without the expression of concern on how the golden legacies of the early Muslim pioneers have been played down by the Muslims of today, where knowledge or groundbreaking discoveries are now credited to the West, making it look like stolen legacies or freely surrendered legacies to those who are currently worried about the development. Based on these genuine concerns, several wells thought out recommendations were penned down, not limited to a suggestion on growing above externally triggered wars and hostilities among Muslim nations, and giving peace and unity chance, to settle down to reflect on how sustainable progress can be achieved in the world of knowledge economy.

Until 16th November 1918, Yе. Konovalets lived in the Bila Tserkva, where he commanded a separate detachment of the Ukrainian Sich Riflemen, and also was the leader of the Western Ukrainian community of Kyiv. On the eve of 7th November, the Striletska rada headed by Yе. Konovalets did not support the request to go to Lviv and help the Ukrainian military to keep the city in street battles with the Poles. Since the battles for Lviv in November have been lost, this fact is superficially estimated by modern historians. The purpose of the study is to reveal events that are indirectly and directly related to Ye. Konovalets and events in Lviv in November 1918. A methodological basis is an integrated approach to the analysis of this problem. In a situation that emerged in November 1918, both in Lviv and in Kyiv, it is obvious that one could not expect another solution from Ye. Konovalets and the Striletska rada. As of 6th November, there were no previous talks or ordinary communication on assistance in the event of the armed approval from Ukrainian authorities in Lviv. At the same time, the Ukrainian delegation arrived in Kyiv was deprived of an understanding of the internal processes that took place in the Ukrainian state. Despite the fact that Ye. Konovalets did not step back from the November events in Lviv, they began to organize volunteers. It is also important that the West Ukrainian community in Kyiv, a few months before the November events in Lviv, through its press office "Nasha Dumka", criticized the distance of the Galician politicians from the independent Ukrainian state.

AbstractAs a fundamental water flux, quantitative understanding of precipitation is important to understand and manage water systems under a changing climate, especially in transition regions such as the coastal interface between land and ocean. This work aims to assess the uncertainty in precipitation detection over the land-coast-ocean continuum in the Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for Global Precipitation Measurement (IMERG) V06B. It is examined over three coastal regions of the U.S., i.e. the West Coast, the Gulf of Mexico, and the East Coast, each of which are characterized by different topographies and precipitation climatologies. Detection capabilities are contrasted over different surfaces (land, coast, ocean). A novel and integrated approach traces the IMERG detection performance back to its components (passive microwave, infrared, and morphing-based estimates). The analysis is performed by using high-resolution, high-quality Ground Validation Multi-Radar/Multi-Sensor (GV-MRMS) rainfall estimates as ground reference. The best detection performances are reported with PMW estimates (hit rates in the range of [25-39]%), followed by morphing ([20-34]%), morphing+IR ([17-27]%) and IR ([11-16]%) estimates. Precipitation formation mechanisms play an important role, especially in the West Coast where orographic processes challenge detection. Further, precipitation typology is shown to be a strong driver of IMERG detection. Over the ocean, IMERG detection is generally better but suffers from false alarms ([10-53]%). Overall, IMERG displays nonhomogeneous precipitation detection capabilities tracing back to its components. Results point toward a similar behavior across various land-coast-ocean continuum regions of the CONUS, which suggests that results can be potentially transferred to other coastal regions of the world.

In speaking this afternoon on the study of African history, I am very conscious that the choice of subject is ambitious. Many aspects of African history are more and more attracting the close attention of scholars, and I wish to apply to the history of the African continent as a whole the experience gained by the study of some aspects of the history of one of the regions, the West Coast. For I have learned that there are dangers no less than securities in the pursuit in isolation of selected regional or topical studies. Authoritative regional histories—histories of the individual colonies of the European states in Africa—are badly needed. But it seems to me that such tasks of local specialized investigation should not be allowed, as they proceed, to throw out of focus the whole picture of African history. So I would respectfully suggest that a case exists for a broader and more integrated approach to the study of African history and for an interpretation of African events from the point of view not merely of the European but also of the Arab, the Indian, and above all the Bantu and the Negro. My appeal is for the study of African history mainly through African eyes and for its own sake.

scholarly journals The Problem of the Precession of the Simulacrums and the Medium in Shaping the Appraisal Reactions Towards the Moscow Show Trials (1936-1938) in the Western Media

The article is based on the analysis of documentary and monographic literature that characterizes a period of the show trials and the Great Terror of 1936-1938 in Soviet Union. The concept of the French postmodernist, philosopher J. Baudrillard about the precession of the simulacrums and the idea of the medium has been used as a basis of the investigation. Using an integrated approach to the problem, the article reveals the decisive influence of J. Stalin and his clique on the nature of the coverage of the Moscow show trials of 1936-1938 by Soviet and foreign media. The significance of the First Moscow show trials in the matter of the further fabricating cases against the “old Bolsheviks” who stood in the opposition to J. Stalin has been disclosed. The role and place of the Soviet and Western media in the process of relaying to the West European information space the Stalin version of the show trials has been determined. Thus, it is revealed that the media has been directly influencing upon the perception of the trials and formation of appraisal reactions to these events by the West European socium.
