Ibâḍî Reformism in Twentieth-Century Algeria : The Tafsîr of Shaykh Ibrâhîm Bayyûḍ - Hoffman, Valerie J.; Shueili, Sulaiman bin Ali bin Amir al- (Revue des mondes musulmans et de la Méditerranée, 2012)
Shaykh Ibrâhîm b. ‘Umar Bayyûḍ of Wâdî Mzâb (1899-1981), leader of Ibâḍî reformism in Algeria after the death of Muḥammad b. Yûsuf Aṭfiyyash (1820-1914), delivered a public commentary on the Qur’an from 1935-1980, which was recorded beginning with Sûra 17:70. Shaykh Bayyûḍ claimed to follow the goals and methodology of Muḥammad ‘Abduh and Rashîd Riḍâ’s Tafsîr al-Manâr. This article analyzes Shaykh Bayyûḍ’s commentary in comparison to, on the one hand, Aṭfiyyash’s two Qur’an commentaries (Hamayân al-zâd ilâ dâr al-ma‘âd and Taysîr al-tafsîr), in order to determine its relationship to earlier modern Ibâḍî reformism, and, on the other hand, to Tafsîr al-Manâr, in order to determine its relationship to that strand of Sunni reformism. It finds that Bayyûḍ’s commentary, like Tafsîr al-Manâr, promotes Islamic unity and eschews theological dogmatism, while attacking customs deemed antithetical to Islamic teaching and making sometimes lengthy digressions on topics of contemporary social and political importance. Nonetheless, Bayyûḍ remains faithful to Ibâḍî doctrine on topics on which Ibâḍîs and Sunnis differ, and there is little evidence that he argued for Islam’s compatibility with liberal values ; on the contrary, at several points in his commentary he states that modern ideas and customs constitute a real threat to Islam.

The rites of Baba Merzug: Diaspora, Ibadism, and social status in the valley of the Mzab - Oussedik, Fatma (Saharan Frontiers: Space and Mobility in Northwest Africa, 2012)
The Sahara has long been portrayed as a barrier that divides the Mediterranean world from Africa proper and isolates the countries of the Maghrib from their southern and eastern neighbors. Rather than viewing the desert as an isolating barrier, this volume takes up historian Fernand Braudel's description of the Sahara as "the second face of the Mediterranean." The essays recast the history of the region with the Sahara at its center, uncovering a story of densely interdependent networks that span the desert's vast expanse. They explore the relationship between the desert's "islands" and "shores" and the connections and commonalities that unite the region. Contributors draw on extensive ethnographic and historical research to address topics such as trade and migration; local notions of place, territoriality, and movement; Saharan cities; and the links among ecological, regional, and world-historical approaches to understanding the Sahara.

The Mzab foggara: an original technique for collecting the water rising - Remini, Boualem; Achour, Bachir; Ouled Belkhir, Cheikh; Baba Amar, Dahmane (Journal of Water and Land Development, 2012)
Abstract This paper describes for the first time an original foggara, different from the classical foggara (foggara of Gourara) which collects water from the Intercalary Continental aquifer. Located in the middle of the Mzab River, this hydraulic system called the Mzab foggara is intended to exploit the flood waters. Two missions were carried in 2009 and 2010 in the Mzab Valley to describe the hydraulic system. The Mzab foggara constitutes of a gallery of ovoid form 200 m long equipped with 9 air shafts and a 900 m long seguia. The foggara of the Mzab River can drain water flow of 5 m3·s-1 to irrigate western part of the palm plantation of Ghardaia (located 600 km south of Algiers).

Etat environnemental de la lagune de Boughrara et ses alentours deux ans après les travaux d'aménagement et d'élargissement du pont d'el Kantara - Guetat, Fatma; Sellem, Feriel; Akrout, F; Brahim, Mouldi; Abdelfattah, Atoui; Romdhane, S.; Daly, Et (2012)
L'étude de l'état environnemental de la lagune de Boughrara a été réalisée deux ans après la mise en service du nouveau pont El Kantara. Les paramètres étudiés dans l'eau (nitrites, nitrates, ammonium, azote, phosphore total, chlorophylle a) et le sédiment (matière organique, faciès sédimentaire) ont été analysés dans trois zones de la lagune appartenants à divers contextes géographiques et environnementaux. Les résultats obtenus ont montré d'évidents signes d'amélioration des conditions générales de cet écosystème. Les distributions spatiotemporelles et saisonnières des paramètres étudiés indiquent que les teneurs trouvées atteignent le seuil d'eutrophisation pas mal de fois mais restent toujours inférieurs à ceux mentionnés par la DGPA en 2000 avant les travaux d'aménagement. L'analyse granulométrique des sédiments superficiels reflète un fond à sables moyens à fins à des proportions différentes en matière organique selon les zones. ABSTRACT Environmental state of the Boughrara lagoon and his surroundings two years after alteration work and of extension of the bridge of el kantara : The present study aims to characterize water quality and sediment in Boughrara lagoon and its surrounding two years after the construction of new bridge. Abiotic parameters (water and sediment) are calculated in three areas with different geographical and environmental contexts. The results have shown clear signs of improvement in terms of the ecosystem. The spatiotemporal distributions of physicochemical parameters of water indicate that the levels found below the threshold of eutrophication quite a few times but are still lower than those reported by DGPA (2000). The size analysis of surface sediments shows that the bottom of the three underwater zones explored is covered mainly by medium to fine sand rich in organic matter.

Physico-Chemical Characterization and Analysis of Various Tunisian Olive Oil Varieties: Minor Compounds and Fatty Acids - Slim, Smaoui; Hajer, A; Ben-Hlima, Hajer; Jarraya, Raoudha; Kamoun, Nozha; And, Raoudha; Mohamed, Damak (Journal- Chemical Society of Pakistan, 2012)
Given the growing interest of consumers worldwide in safe, healthy and good quality olive oil, the present study aimed to investigate a number of Tunisian virgin olive oil varieties in an attempt to procure physico-chemical characteristics of interest to the local and global olive oil industry, particularly in terms of variety and area of cultivation. Eight samples collected from Chetoui, Chemlali, Zarrazi, and Zalmati Tunisian cultivars located at Sfax, Thibar, Zarzis, and Jerba were employed. Various physic-chemical parameters were investigated, including free acidity, peroxide value, UV absorption, pigment concentrations, oxidative stability, fatty acid composition, phenolic compounds and sterols. The findings revealed high heterogeneity within and between the varieties. The Chemlali Jerba" and Zarrazi oil samples showed high oleic acid and low linoleic acid concentrations, rich phenolic compounds, and high stability. The sterols fractions in Chemlali Sfax, Chemlali Jerba, and Zalmati olive oils displayed high levels of β-sitosterol, campesterol, and ∆-5-avenasterol. Overall, the olive oil from Chemlali Jerba presented higher levels of natural antioxidants and oxidative stability. Its chemical composition was also noted to be particularly interesting in terms of fatty acid contents, minor components, and antioxidants, namely sterols, tocopherols, carotenoids, and phenolic acids.
