This chapter focuses on the article system in Michif. Articles are particularly problematic for the French DP/Plains Cree VP split posited for Michif (Bakker 1997). Despite being French-derived, the Michif articles do not behave like their French counterparts. Michif definite articles occupy a lower position within the DP than French definite articles do, and Michif lacks definiteness, despite having borrowed both the definite and indefinite articles. Even more problematically, the singular definite articles are used to Algonquianize non-Algonquian vocabulary—both within the DP and the VP. Thus, a piece of French morphosyntax has been appropriated to create structures that can be interpreted within Algonquian syntax, providing more evidence that ultimately the Michif DP is Algonquian, rather than French.

Definite Articles

This paper traces the Arabic origins or cognates of the “definite articles” in English and Indo-European languages from a radical linguistic (or lexical root) theory perspective. The data comprises the definite articles in English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, Latin, Greek, Macedonian, Russian, Polish, Sanskrit, Hindi, Bengali, Persian, and Arabic. The results clearly indicate that five different types of such articles emerged in the data, all of which have true Arabic cognates with the same or similar forms and meanings, whose differences are due to natural and plausible causes and different routes of linguistic change, especially lexical, semantic, or morphological shift. Therefore, the results support the adequacy of the radical linguistic theory according to which, unlike the Family Tree Model or Comparative Method, Arabic, English, German, French, Latin, Greek, and Sanskrit not only belong to the same language family, renamed Eurabian or Urban family, but also are dialects of the same language, with Arabic being their origin all because only it shares the whole cognates with them all and because it has a huge phonetic, morphological, grammatical, and lexical variety. They also manifest fundamental flaws and grave drawbacks which plague English and Indo-European lexicography for ignoring Arabic as an ultimate ancestor and progenitor not only in the treatment of the topic at hand but in all others in general. On a more general level, they also show that there is a radical language from which all human languages stemmed and which has been preserved almost intact in Arabic, thus being the most conservative and productive language

AbstractThe architecture of rice plant represents important and complex agronomic traits, such as panicles morphology, which directly influence the microclimate of rice population and consequently grain yield. To enhance yield, modification of plant architecture to create new hybrid cultivars is considered a sustainable approach. The current study includes an investigation of yield and microclimate response index under low to high plant density of two indica hybrid rice R498 (curved panicles) and R499 (erect panicles), from 2017 to 2018. The split-plot design included planting densities of 11.9–36.2 plant/m2. The results showed that compared with R498, R499 produced a higher grain yield of 8.02–8.83 t/ha at a higher planting density of 26.5–36.2 plant/m2. The response index of light intensity and relative humidity to the planting density of R499 was higher than that of R498 at the lower position of the rice population. However, the response index of temperature to the planting density of R499 was higher at the upper position (0.2–1.4%) than at the lower position. Compared with R498, R499 at a high planting density developed lower relative humidity (78–88%) and higher light intensity (9900–15,916 lx) at the lower position of the rice population. Our finding suggests that erect panicles are highly related to grain yield microclimatic contributors under a highly dense rice population, such as light intensity utilization, humidity, and temperature. The application of erect panicle rice type provides a potential strategy for yield improvement by increasing microclimatic conditions in rice.

Abstract. Resort Balocci of Bantimurung Bulusaraung National Park is location grown many natural orchids. This research aims to knew the natural orchids species. This research used the exploration method by tracing did the study area investigation and documentation includes of took the picture and morphological characterization as basic to identification of orchids type. Exploration of natural orchid conducted in 1 location with 94 distribution point had height from 764 m dpl until 1252 m dpl. The results of research got 44 types of orchid, the research there were 3 kinds of orchids growth characteristic, epiphytic amount 38, terrestic 5, and litofit 2, while the type its growth dominated by simpodial orchid amount 26 types. Type many found that was Eulophia spectabilis. Based on the height of place, type grow in higher position was Trichotosia sp that is 1252 m dpl while lower position was Bulbophyllum sp.2, Dendrobium stuartii, Oberonia sp.1, Pholidota sp.2, dan Luisia sp.1 that is 764 m dpl. Based on light intensity visually, the most commonly found orchid in the light intensity is half as much as 35.

ABSTRACT A 56-year-old female patient with the phenotype of Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO) and pseudohypoparathyroidism 1a (PHP) diagnosed in 1987 was shown to have a heterozygote inactivating mutation on the GNAS1 gene. The patient has been treated with oral calcium and vitamin D since diagnosis of PHP 1a and developed primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) in 2009. Ultrasound as well as 99Tcsestamibi could demonstrate a lesion in the right lower position. Intraoperatively, a solitary parathyroid adenoma was found and resected leading to a ‘normalization’ of PTH and calcium. This case highlight is the rare coincidence of PHP, AHO and pHPT.
