Since its inception centuries ago, it has witnessed diverse diseases, diverse outcomes, diverse complications while dealing with the same and diverse response towards it from the mankind.

Abstract: The period between 1820 and 1918 has been considered as a golden age in the history of Islam and especially the application of Shariah as a legal code and a way of life in Yoruba land. This is because this period witnessed the emergence and ascension to the throne of some Muslim monarchs who to a very large extent allowed the dictates of Islamic religion to influence their lives and the business of governance in their kingdoms. Although they were converts upon the advent of Islam in Yoruba land, they became learned in the knowledge of Arabic and Islamic studies. With their antecedents, they became friends and helper of Muslims upon their emergence as kings and used the traditional authority as a pillar of support.........

Abstract: To philosophize we must communicate philosophically. Communication has been an integral part of philosophy. Consequently, we cannot study philosophy without communication; yet, to understand communication we must subject it to philosophical inquiry. The relevance of philosophy in media and communication research cannot be overemphasized. The increasing interdisciplinary nature of scientific inquiry into human behavior has made natural sciences interested in methodologies of the social science. Research philosophy in its nature is to help the researcher evaluate the paradigms of research and the matters of epistemology and ontology. It is commendable that these parameters in social research and in extension communication research support the researcher to describe the research perceptions, elaborate its beliefs, clarify its assumptions and define what reality is.........

It comes in various forms such as websites, emails, blogs and social networking sites like Facebook, WhatsApp, 2go, MySpace, twitter and others. It is developing fast and becoming complex due to its ability to incorporate all the other aspects of the main stream mass media.

Abstract: Festivals contribute to cities, regional development in cities and their recognition and branding. Festivals which are organized regularly become traditional and thus, cities where these festivals are held become more popular and gain economic and social benefits. Also festivals are powerful instruments to attract tourists in low seasons, to raise awareness regarding destinations and create positive images regarding destinations. However, it is supported with much research that festival satisfaction is an important factor on festival loyalty. With this regard, the aim of this research is to determine the relationships between perceptions of festival participants,their perceived value,...........

Abstract: The churches we are concerned with here are in South-eastern Italy where, more than in other parts of Southern Italy (with the exception of Calabria), the Byzantine presence and Byzantine influence were obviously strong.1 Islam arrived on the Apulian coast from the 11th to 13th century was often mediated by Byzantium: this is verifiable in techniques, iconographies and styles. One case in particular concerns the epigraphic characters of Islamic derivation which abound in many media and, specifically, in architectural decoration: in other words, stone, stucco, mosaic, painting and so on. But, if the Byzantine mediation is evident........

Abstract: Psychoanalytic criticism offers an insightful approach to exploring the unconscious dynamics, repressed desires, and complex inner conflicts of characters in literature. This paper examines the psychoanalytic themes present in the plays of Mahesh Dattani and Tennessee Williams. Both playwrights, though geographically and culturally distinct, delve deeply into the psychological lives of their characters, exploring themes such as identity, repression, trauma, guilt, and the impact of societal expectations. Using the lens of Freudian, Jungian, and Lacanian theory,.......
