The Stone Age in Northwestern Libya: Observations Along a Pipeline - Parenti, Fabio; Mengoli, Davide; Natali, Luca (The African Archaeological Review, 2015)
More than 500 km, from the Mediterranean coast to the Hammada al-Hamra, were surveyed in 2002-'03 along the AGIP-Gas pipeline. Several morphological units were crossed: the Jefara, the Jebel Gharbi and the Hammada al-Hamra. This paper reports the location of more than 60 surface sites, with special attention to Lower and Middle Stone Age assemblages, by far the most represented periods. More than 6,500 lithic artifacts have been collected spanning from Mode 1 to the Late Stone Age. The survey was carried out on foot, along a narrow band of around 50 m width for 80 % of the pipeline, representing an extraordinary sample from the coast to the northern desert and, more extensively, in the Wafa area on the Hammada plateau, where stone quarries, fireplaces and important lithic scatters were documented. On the whole, the assemblages, compared with the main Stone Age sites of Northern Africa, seem older in the very southern sector, well into the Hammada, whereas sites on the Jebel cliff and immediately south are dominated by Middle and Late Stone Age cultural traits. The survey proved to be both a good tool for planning development projects and an important occasion for the study of a relevant region of Northern African prehistory. Plus de 500 km du gazoduc AGIP ont été prospectés en 2002-'03, de la côte méditerranéenne jusqu'à la Hammada al-Hamra, sur plusieurs unités morphologiques: Jefara, Jebel Gharbi, Hammada al-Hamra. Cette prospection a permis de décrire plus de 60 gisements de surface, la plupart attribués au Paléolithique inférieur et moyen (phases culturelles le plus fréquemment rencontrées). Plus de 6500 artefacts lithiques ont ainsi été récoltés, de l'Oldowayen au Late Stone Age. La prospection s'est faite à pied, le long d'une bande étroite de 50 m sur 4/5 du parcours, ce qui représente un échantillon extraordinaire, de la côte jusqu'au désert septentrional, et plus en détail dans la région de Wafa, sur le plateau de l'Hammada, où des ateliers de taille, foyers et autres sites de surface ont été trouvés. Les sites sembleraient plus anciens dans la partie méridionale du secteur, bien à l'intérieur de la Hammada. Sur les abords du Jebel, et immédiatement au Sud, les sites du Pleistocène supérieur dominent, Middle et Late Stone Age. Le potentiel archéologique de cette région est analysé dans le cadre de la préhistoire paléolithique nord-africaine.

Muslim Poets under a Christian King: An Intertextual Reevaluation of Sicilian Arabic Literature under Roger II (1112–54) (Part I) - Miller, Nathaniel A. (Mediterranean Studies, 2019)
Throughout the twelfth century, a number of Arabic-speaking Muslims produced poetry in the court of the Normans of Sicily. This article examines literary figures active under Roger II in the context of their interlocutors, professional colleagues, and other contemporaries around the western Mediterranean and North Africa. It argues that, in this context, most of the Sicilian Arab literary figures were only secondarily poets, their primary role being within a chancery or other administrative milieu, and that they continued to assert an undiminished Islamic identity, although living under Christian rule. This identity is mirrored in the intertextual play on topoi (maʿānī) found in Sicilian Arabic poetry, which was heavily engaged with cultural activity around the Mediterranean.

Chinese porcelains and the decorations of Omani mihrabs - Goffriller, Martin S.; Hongjiao, Ma; Bandyopadhyay, Soumyen; Henderson, Julian (Proceedings of the Seminar for Arabian Studies, 2015)
This paper explores the history of the Chinese porcelain trade in Oman with the aim of gauging the impact of these wares on Oman's religious architecture. The large quantities of porcelain surface finds from the interior and the comparatively unusual reliance on them for the decoration of prayer niches, in the presence of equally valuable wares from Persia and elsewhere, suggest an elevated status for these objects, which is not necessarily a product of their immediate monetary value. Chemical and stylistic analyses were carried out to determine the dates and provenance of the ceramics studied, with the aim of gaining a better understanding of their introduction into the Omani market and their relation to religious design schemes.

The radicalization of heritage in Tunisia - Rey, Virginie (International journal of Islamic architecture, 2018)
Since the so-called 'Jasmine Revolution' of 2009 in Tunisia, the idea of heritage has been destabilized following a series of attacks on religious and cultural sites across the country by militant Salafi groups. Thus far, sites of Jewish heritage have been the most affected. Cultural heritage from Tunisia's rich ancient history, redolent for certain Islamists with associations of Jahiliyya, has also been targeted. The well-publicized attack on the Bardo Museum in March 2015 was perhaps the most famous symbol of this trend. However, less publicized have been attempts to reclaim some sacred sites, resulting in the occupation of local mosques on the island of Djerba and in the town of Le Kef. In the wake of these events, some Djerbian civilians have stood up to defend what they consider as intrinsic parts of the patrimonial identity of their island. But as they have been defending these mosques against extremist groups, new considerations related to their preservation have surfaced, calling into question their very patrimonialization. In the context of this radical politicization of Tunisian heritage, this article explores the struggle over who defines the meanings and uses of heritage in Tunisia and the new challenges and opportunities that Salafi attacks have created for the heritage sector since the revolution.

Ibadism and law in historical contexts - Vikør, Knut S. (Oñati Socio-Legal Series, 2020)
Not Sunnis and not Shi’is, the Ibāḍī Muslims of Oman and some areas of North Africa form a “third branch” of Islam, with their own version of the Sharīʿa law. The development of this law displays many interconnections with the political history of the Ibāḍīs, which spanned from an independent sultanate in Oman, through minority status under Sunni rule in Tunisia and Libya, to isolated desert communities in Algerian Sahara. This article gives an overview over such interconnections between the political (state authority) and the legal, through history and in contemporary North Africa, with some examples of legal discussions from the “Ibāḍī renaissance” (nahḍa) in the twentieth-century Saharan oasis of Mzab.

The Transformation of Religious Learning in Oman: Tradition and Modernity - Salimi, Abdulrahman al- (Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, 2011)
The last fifty years mark a period of great change in the role of religious leadership and education in the Sultanate of Oman. The country moved from bifurcated leadership between an Imam and a Sultan to a single political authority. These decades also witnessed the modernisation of the state. These factors combined to reshape the place of religion and religious education in society. Whereas previously religious leaders had relative autonomy and more direct political influence, now they were brought under the auspices of the government with their focus circumscribed to religious matters. The structures and foci of religious education were then reshaped so that tradition provided a platform for progress and the more zealous ideologies emerging in the region could be held at bay. This has permitted Oman to modernise and engage with a global society in an amicable, non-sectarian, manner.

Revolting Women? Early Kharijite Women in Islamic Sources - Baugh, Carolyn (Journal of Islamic and Muslim Studies, 2017)
The Kharijites were an early movement of anti-government activists, self-proclaimed pious rebels who began their protests in the seventh century of the common era. Their initial complaint was against ʿUthmān ibn ʿAffān (d. 656 CE), the third Caliph, for what they perceived as abuses of power and improper execution of Divine Law. Throughout Islamic history, many groups have appeared to protest deeply corrupt systems and injustices. Many women participated vigorously in anti-government protests, many going so far as to take up arms. Even today, any group engaged in governmental protest or anti-government activities might easily be dubbed Kharijites and thus dismissed as “extremist.” This paper focuses on women in Kharijite movements of late antiquity. The sources for this inquiry are early writers including Jāḥiẓ (d. 869 CE), Mubarrad (d. 900 CE), and Ṭabarī (d. 923 CE), with reference to the modern-era biographical compendium of ʿUmar Riḍā al-Kaḥḥāla. The three women discussed span three generations of Kharijite activity. Each of the three has a story with the ruler of the time. For Qaṭām, it is a story of revenge against the Caliph ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib (d. 660 CE). For Baljāʾ, it is one of political protest against the Caliph Muʿāwiya (d. 680 CE), directed against his governors Ziyād ibn Abīhi (d. 673 CE) and his son ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Ziyād (d. 686 CE). And for Ghazāla, it is a story of a year of battle and bloodshed during the rule of the Umayyad Caliph ʿAbd al-Mālik ibn Marwān's (d. 705 CE) tyrannical governor, al-Ḥajjāj ibn Yūsuf (d. 714 CE). The ways these deeply opinionated and activist women are depicted provide telling insight into how Muslim historiography has grappled with women revolutionaries.

African Identities, Afro-Omani Music, and the Official Constructions of a Musical Past - Harthy, Majid H. al- (The World of Music, 2012)
Based on dissertation research in the port city of Sur, historically significant both for trans-oceanic seafaring and trade, and more specifically for its connection to the east coast of Africa, this article analyzes the African-derived performance genres that dominate Sur's music scene within an ever-elusive concept of Africa. The sacred healing rituals zār, mikwarā, and ṭambūra; and the secular genres, mdema, and fann is-ṣawt have been renamed funūn taqlīdīya or traditional arts, national nomenclature that collects the myriad traditions of the country while marginalizing differential identities. Rhetorically, Suri musicians not only adopt, they also emphasize their national Omani identity, while expressing their African identity as of the "other." Musically, however, their approach to performance, including the use of Swahili texts, the predominance of body movement, and multi-layered musical textures produced by a variety of instruments from East Africa, reveals, I argue, the musicians' African identity as a "self." The seemingly binary "self" identities articulated by Suri musicians through two differing modes of expression (rhetoric and performance) illustrate not only the problematic nature of the concept of Africa in Oman, but also highlights how simplistically the African presence in Oman has been treated in the music scholarship of this country.

The Musical Design of National Space and Time in Oman - Rasmussen, Anne K. (The World of Music, 2012)
This article unpacks ethnographic research conducted in 2010–2011 and in 2012 among cultural activists and reformers who are using music as a generative force toward the development of collective identities in a geopolitical space. I analyze three domains of cultural production and consider how the Sultan's initiatives have resulted in the embodiment of artistic consumption and connoisseurship that are required for musical life in the public sphere: first are the Sultan's privately controlled military bands, Arab music ensembles, and symphony orchestra; second are public arts festivals that nurture and celebrate traditional music and dance; third is the domain of Omani popular music facilitated by Arab regional interculturalism and media flows that depend significantly on practitioners from Egypt, Iraq, and other Gulf states. I show how these domains of music and dance work to enable the imagination of a cultural space and time for Oman and its historical and contemporary relationships with the Arab world, Africa, Asia, and "the West." The ethnographic focus on the Salalah Festival in the Dhofar province, provides a close-up shot of the workings of the state at the local level in a context that is both far from the control of the capitol city, Muscat, but that also reproduces many of the relations of dominance and resistance that is an inevitable artifact of political power and cultural policy.

On the Decks of Dhows: Musical Traditions of Oman and the Indian Ocean World - Ulaby, Laith (The World of Music, 2012)
This article situates the musical traditions of Oman in the broader context of the Arabian Peninsula and Indian Ocean. Trade, slavery, and pilgrimage prompted the creation of networks that extended across the Indian Ocean for hundreds of years and facilitated deep and lasting cultural exchanges. Oman has played an important role in these networks and this is deeply reflected in many of the local musical traditions. Since about the middle of the 20th century, countries in the Arabian Gulf (sometimes referred to as the GCC, Gulf Cooperation Council, plus Yemen) have made strides toward establishing independent nationalism in the contemporary race for unique identities; however, their histories, peoples, and musical traditions, particularly those of nomadic Bedouins and coastal seafaring populations, have overlapped for many centuries. I attempt to sketch out some comparisons, particularly in terms of performance practice, between Oman and the rest of the Gulf States with a focus on maritime music, the music that occurred "on the decks of dhows," the traditional sailing vessel of the Arabian Gulf. My theoretical grounding for this article engages with frameworks for cultural transmission and explores their relevance to the Gulf. By looking at historical accounts and previous scholarship, alongside ethnographic research, I describe some of the conduits for sharing musical influence with the broader Indian Ocean cultural space. Lastly, I critically examine some of the historiographies that have been created around these exchanges and their valence to the political economy of cultural heritage in the region.

Efficacité comparée de trois méthodes de lutte contre la Cochenille blanche du Palmier-dattier dans la région de Ouargla (Sud-est algérien) (Hemiptera, Diaspididae) - Idder, Mohamed Azzedine; Bensaci, Mohamed; Oualan, Mohamed; Pintureau, Bernard (Bulletin de la Société entomologique de France, 2007)
Trois méthodes de lutte ont été appliquées contre la Cochenille blanche du Palmier-dattier Parlatorio blanchardi (Targioni-Tozzetti) en Algérie. La lutte physique à l'aide du flambage a conduit à un pourcentage de mortalité des cochenilles de 92,2 et semble être la plus efficace. La lutte chimique à l'aide d'un insecticide a eu un effet significatif puisqu'elle a provoqué des pourcentages de mortalité de 73,2 et 80,0 selon la parcelle. La lutte biologique à l'aide de Coccinelles a quant à elle conduit à des pourcentages de mortalité relativement faibles, de 18,1 et 19,7. Il faut toutefois aussi tenir compte de l'effet de la méthode de lutte sur les populations d'auxiliaires avant d'opter pour l'une d'entre elles. Or, nous avons constaté que les traitements physique et chimique ont provoqué une très forte mortalité des auxiliaires (78,8 à 89,4%). En revanche, la méthode biologique a préservé la faune utile et donc l'équilibre biologique dans le biotope. Cette dernière méthode semble ainsi mieux adaptée au milieu palmeraie, agro-système à la fois complexe et fragile où toute perturbation brutale peut être fatale et irréversible.

The Ibāḍī Approach to the Methodology of Qur'anic Exegesis - Albayrak, Ismail; Shueili, Sulaiman bin Ali bin Amir al- (The Muslim World, 2015)
In recent times, research on the Ibāḍī tradition by both Muslim and non-Muslim scholars has increased, but has not yet shed light on the wider significance of this tradition. While the primary focus of researchers has been on the Ibāḍī tradition as a school of thought, its important contribution to various Islamic disciplines is still neglected. For this reason, there is a serious need for a comprehensive study of the Ibāḍī works on Islam, especially as new manuscripts are continually being discovered. When we look at Ibāḍī Islamic literature in general and compare Ibāḍī jurisprudence and theology, we realise that the poorest and most unexplored field of study consists of the Ibāḍī works on exegesis (tafsīr). The once inaccessible and insufficient amount of Ibāḍī sources and materials may have accounted for this lack of interest; however, today, materials related to Ibāḍī exegesis and understanding are becoming available. In this article, we focus on the methodology of Qur'anic exegesis with reference to commentators from the Ibāḍī tradition. As far as we know, this paper is a first in this field of research, and will discuss the primary features of the Ibāḍī method, its similarities to and differences from other exegetical approaches, and its original contributions.

Recherches sur les édifices ibadites du Djebel Nafūsa - Prevost, Virginie (Acta Orientalia Belgica, 2014)
The Nafūsa Mountains, known as a stronghold of Berber Ibadism, have developed an extremely rich vernacular architecture. Little rural mosques abound in the jabal, which may occasionally go back to the eight or ninth centuries AD. Some mosques are associated with scholars or chiefs quoted in mediaeval Ibadi texts, or with the Christian past of the region. Many are semi-subterranean and present in the prayer hall noteworthy decorations carved out of the plastering. The three remaining communal fortified granaries also are of particular interest. All those Ibadi buildings will be studied in a forthcoming publication.

Ethnobotanical study of medicinal plant in Djerba island, Tunisia - Ben Salah, Myriam; Barhoumi, Tarek; Abderraba, Manef (Arabian Journal of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants, 2019)
Objective :The aim of this study was to document the diversity and use of natural plants in the island of Djerba (Tunisia) in traditional pharmacopoeia and other uses in order to develop an ethnobotanical catalogue that could subsequently be the subject of scientific research.Materials and Methods: The technique of semi-structured interviews was used with people originating and residing or not in Djerba. Occasional conversations and direct observations were exploited for one year.Results: We have identified 86 plants out of 122 mentioned belonging to 80 genera and 43 families. Asteraceae were the most important family represented by 13 species followed by Lamiaceae and Poaceae (7 species each). The results showed that 45 species have medicinal uses (52.32%). Leaves were the most used parts (59% of species for medicinal use). Decoction was the most common method for preparing remedies.Conclusion: This study provides an important source of information for flora valorization in the studied region. The results could form a database for the search of new natural substances with added value.

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.

Tensions of nationalism: The Mzabi student missions in Tunis and the politics of anticolonialism - Ghazal, Amal N. (International Journal of Middle East Studies, 2015)
Abstract This article examines the significant yet largely overlooked role of the Mzabis, a community from the northern edges of the Algerian desert, in Algerian and Tunisian anticolonialism and nationalism. In so doing, it pursues two aims: first, to shed light on the importance of Tunis to the politicization of the Mzabis in the 1920s and to their induction into local and regional anticolonial and national movements; and second, to highlight the tensions of subsuming regional identities into overarching national identities by focusing on Mzabi political activists’ negotiation of the relationship between the Mzab and Algeria as a national project. The article also explores the spectrum of political possibilities and alternatives envisioned by Mzabis as they participated in religious reform, anticolonial, and nationalist movements. This spectrum, I argue, conveys the fluid relationship between local, national, and regional identities, thus undermining teleological readings of national identity formation.

The Field of In Between - Stein, Sarah Abrevaya (International Journal of Middle East Studies, 2014)
In the spring of 1902, Miryam bint Lalu Partush appealed to military representatives in Ghardaïa, in the Mzab Valley (a valley of five fortified oasis cities in the northern Algerian Sahara, six hundred kilometers south of Algiers), for the paperwork that would allow her to undertake a six-month pilgrimage to Jerusalem with her husband, the wealthy merchant Musa (Moshe) bin Ibrahim Partush. Miryam Partush was unusual in possessing the means for such a rare, costly voyage; but notwithstanding her class, Partush's legal status was typical of most Muslims and southern Algerian Jews in Algeria. She was not a citizen, nor did she hold official papers of any kind. When Miryam Partush appealed to the military authorities in Ghardaïa, then, she was appealing for many things: for the right to leave her native valley and travel to the port of Algiers; for the papers that would allow her to cross colonial boundaries; and for the documentation that would register her liminal legal identity. Authorizing her travel, Algeria's governor-general named Partush a “non-naturalized Jew from the Mzab.” Thus did Partush embark on her six-month journey with a negative legal identity: this Jewish woman was definable, in the eyes of the law, only by what she did not possess.

« Des perles dans leur coquillage » ? Les femmes et la réinvention du patriarcat dans l’Algérie coloniale (1882–1962) - Jomier, Augustin (Hawwa, 2019)
L’anthropologie des années 1960–1970 et l’apologétique musulmane véhiculent des visions fixistes des femmes au Maghreb. Combinées à la rareté des sources, ces idées font obstacle à la connaissance historique. À partir du cas du Mzab, une région du nord du Sahara algérien à la population majoritairement berbérophone et ibadite, cet article propose des pistes pour historiciser la condition des Algériennes durant la période coloniale. Là où Elizabeth Thompson a montré que le patriarcat a été réinventé et renforcé dans la Syrie mandataire par l’alliance des élites locales et de l’administration, cet article montre que la médiation de maîtresses femmes au Mzab a été indispensable au renforcement de la domination masculine. Un groupe de femmes savantes et pieuses, nommées les laveuses des mortes, y enseignaient la religion aux femmes et secondaient les lettrés ibadites dans leur mission. Elles furent les indispensables agents de la domination masculine, et virent leur agency accrue.

We present here an inventory of Acridid fauna of the agricultural ecosystems in the Mzab valley (Septentrional Sahara, Algeria). Grasshoppers were sampled with quadrats in Béni Isguen, Ghardaïa and El-Atteuf, and we have expressed the species richness, sampling effort and relative abundance. The method used is that of quadrats sampling. The results revealed the presence of 27 species, divided into three families, Acrididae, Pyrgomorphidae and Tetrigidae. Among these families, we found that Acrididae are most diverse with six subfamilies. The subfamily Oedipodinae with 10 species was the most abundant, while the subfamily Tetriginae was the least abundant (represented by a one species). The value of the diversity index showed that the cultivated area of Béni Isguen is the most favorable for the development of many Caelifera. The abundance of grasses and low intensity of agricultural activity in this environment favors the presence of Acridid. We found that the Acridid community depends mainly on the nature and richness of vegetation cover, the intensity of agricultural activity and the type of irrigation. Keywords: Grasshopper, agricultural ecosystem, biodiversity, North Africa, Sahara

Les réseaux étendus d’un archipel saharien. Les circulations de lettrés ibadites (XVIIe siècle-années 1950) - Jomier, Augustin (Revue d'histoire moderne contemporaine, 2016)
Cet article dévoile dans la longue durée les circulations de lettrés (oulémas) ibadites du Mzab et leurs échanges, entre le Sahara, les centres urbains du Maghreb et ceux du Moyen-Orient. Saisis à partir de l’Algérie colonisée, ces flux intellectuels, commerciaux et matériels (lettres, manuscrits, imprimés…) paraissent à première vue marginaux. À une tout autre échelle, ils constituent pourtant une plate-forme d’observation de liens transrégionaux et transimpériaux sous-estimés. Ces déplacements et ces échanges esquissent une aire et des flux migratoires qui enjambent le seuil chronologique des conquêtes coloniales. Ils font voler en éclat l’image d’un islam local et dénaturalisent le cadre algérien et colonial en donnant à voir, parmi les populations d’Algérie, des rapports à l’espace qui excèdent ceux construits en situation coloniale.

Tafilalt in the Mzab Valley – Algeria. A sustainable urban project in arid environment - Diafat, Abderrahmane; Madani, Said (urbe. Revista Brasileira de Gestão Urbana, 2019)
Abstract This paper aims to display a promising experience of designing a new community project based on the Mozabit old traditions to found their Ksour (plural of Ksar). The faith and “self-reliance” as ancient customs of the Mozabit society have led the Oases to survive in a hostile Saharan environment. Tafilalt project aims to respect the traditional architecture and values while creating architecture worthy of the sustainable development. The community in Bani Isguen city initiated the project in 1997, planning to create a new neighborhood for Bani Isguen ksar in order to alleviate the housing shortage in the Mzab Valley. The self-help, solidarity and collective work of this community allow low-income households to have access to affordable housing. The methodical approach fulfills a thorough analysis of the different steps concerning the process from the definition to the construction of such a collective project. This quite successful designed project tends to enhance the local urban environment and empower the community ties. A set of guidelines and recommendations are made in order to improve the design process and urban strategies of any alike coming projects. , Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar uma experiência promissora de criação de um novo projeto comunitário baseado nas antigas tradições mozabitas para fundar seus Ksour. A fé e a “autoconfiança” como costumes antigos da sociedade Mozabita levaram os Oásis a sobreviver em um ambiente hostil do Saara. O projeto Tafilalt visa respeitar a arquitetura e os valores tradicionais, criando uma arquitetura digna do desenvolvimento sustentável. A comunidade na cidade de Bani Isguen iniciou o projeto em 1997, planejando criar um novo bairro para Bani Isguen ksar, a fim de aliviar a escassez de moradias no Vale do Mzab. A autoajuda, a solidariedade e também o trabalho coletivo desta comunidade permitem que as famílias de baixa renda tenham acesso a moradias populares. A abordagem metodológica baseia-se na análise das diferentes etapas do processo, desde a definição do projeto até a construção desse projeto coletivo. Este projeto bem-sucedido foi projetado para melhorar o ambiente urbano local e fortalecer os laços comunitários. Um conjunto de diretrizes e recomendações será feito a fim de melhorar o processo de design e as estratégias urbanas de projetos similares.

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).

Wadi Adrar Foundation and Multidisciplinary Study Group “Berber Civility and Vernacolar Architecure” are performing survey missions since 2006 in the Jebel Gabi in Libya, addressed to study archaeological remnants of the ancient autochthonous civility once populating the tripolitanian mountain, to place artefacts in their historical context and finally to disseminate results. Architectural structures both constructed and digged into the rock were asessed, cave dwellings representing the majority of study cases, and showing a wide spectrum of models depending both on the various usage patterns befitting daily life, and on the geological structure of archaeological sites. Hitherto, Wadi Adrar Foundation and Multidisciplinary Study Group “Berber Civility and Vernacolar Ar chitecure” established cooperation toghether with italian Universities of Pisa and Florence, the Mediterra nean University, and with the Alrefak University of Tripoli, costituting working groups that studied, measu red and modeled several abandoned villages, Qasr, single housings and oil mills, all being both constructed or digged into the rock. In the present work the Rock Cave Mosque in Tnumayat is studied in detail, being situated in al-Khirba (the ruins) in the Kabaw neighbourhood. This individual artifact has been selected for the study as it represents an original example of Rock Cave Mosque showing fine digging technique and finely plaster bas-relief decorated interiors. A long inscription situated in the Dromos entrance trabeation allows both construction dating in 454 a.E.-1062 A.D. and customer Abd al-Malik identification. Interior is divided into three naves and a separate area reserved to women is identifiable

L’architecture des mosquées Ibadites au Mzab et à Djerba : Propriétés syntaxiques et modes de structuration - Ben Younes, Houda (Al-Sabîl, 2018)
Loin d’être « archaïque », comme certains la définissent, l’architecture vernaculaire traduit un savoir-faire qui, outre les connaissances techniques locales, révèle d’autres paramètres fondamentaux dictés par la tradition, qui lui confèrent sa spécificité par rapport à l’architecture contemporaine. Cette recherche s’intéresse au patrimoine religieux construit par les berbères ibadites dans deux régions géographiques différentes à savoir : les cinq villes du Mzab en Algérie et l'île de Djerba en Tunisie. Notre étude est basée sur la méthode de la syntaxe spatiale qui met en évidence la relation fondamentale qui existe entre la configuration d'un espace et son usage. L'objectif de ce travail de recherche est d'identifier la logique spatiale des configurations architecturales d’un échantillon de trente mosquées ibadites de Djerba et du Mzab. A travers ce travail nous essayons d’une part, d’expliquer l’organisation spatiale de la mosquée ibadite dans les deux régions d’étude. D’autre part, nous nous proposons de montrer l’existence de trois modes d’intégration qui structurent la mosquée ibadite dans l’île de Djerba et dans la vallée du Mzab : le çaḥn, le tẓalliṭ et le tẓalliṭ-tzaqqa n tẓalliṭ.

An annotated bibliography of Arabic and Berber in Libya - Benkato, Adam; Pereira, Christophe (Libyan Studies, 2016)
The Libyan varieties of both Arabic and Berber are among the least researched in their respective fields. In order to facilitate the study of these varieties, we present an annotated bibliography of all relevant research that could be identified up until the middle of 2016. With this, we aim to identify both the gaps in current and the possibilities for future research. Studies are grouped into Arabic and Berber sections, and subgrouped according to region. For Arabic, dialects of Tripoli and western regions, Benghazi and eastern regions, Fezzan and southern regions, as well as Jewish dialects, are treated. For Berber, varieties of Zwara, the Nafusa mountains, Sokna and El-Foqaha, and Awjila, and Tuareg are treated. Short introductions highlighting the most important studies precede bibliographic references and brief comments are given when of interest. , ان اللهجات الليبية العربية والامازيغية هي من المواضيع الاقل دراسة وبحثاً في مجالهما. ومن اجل تسهيل دراسة هذه اللهجات، نحن نقدم فهرساً مذيلاً لكل الابحاث المتعلقة بذلك والتي يمكن تحديدها حتى منتصف عام 2016. بهذا، نحن نهفد الى تحديد الفجوات في الدراسة الحالية وبحث امكانية دراسات مستقبلية. جميع الدراسات مصنفة تحت بابي العرب والامازيغ ومن ثم مصنفة حسب المنطقة. بالنسبة للعربية فقد تم تناول لهجات طرابلس والمناطق الغربية، وبنغازي والمناطق الشرقية، وفزان والمناطق الجنوبية، اللهجات اليهودية ايضاً. اما بالنسبة للامازيغية فقد تم دراسة اللهجات من زوارة، وجبل نفوسة، والسوكنة والفقها واوجلة، ولهجة الطوارق . كما ادرجنا مقدمات قصيرة تسلط الضوء على اهم الدراسات تسبق المراجع الببلوغرافية وتعليقات مختصرة كلما دعت الحاجة لذلك .

Libya: Berber Town Beseiged (Africa Research Bulletin: Political, Social and Cultural Series, 2009)
Activists claim that the authorities on December 25th launched a security campaign against the Berber town of Yafran,170km south-west of Tripoli, the Saudi-owned pan-Arab daily Al-Sharq al-Awsat reported. Fathi Bin-Khalifah, coordinatorof the Libyan Action Group and the Lib-yan Amazighs’ Grouping, said in a tele-phone contact from his base in Moroccothat the Libyan authorities were besiegingthe town, electronically jamming telephonecontacts between it and the outside world,and also banning anyone coming fromother areas from entering. He claimed thatthere was intensive security deploymentafter units from the anti-riot Central Sup-port Forces were brought in and that hehad received information that military air-craft had flown over the town which has apopulation of around 50,000.According to assertions by Bin-Khalifahand various Amazigh (Berber) internetwebsites, groups from the ‘‘Youth Lea-gues’’ ofSayf-al-Islam, the second son ofLibyan Leader ColonelMouammar Gad-dafy, and elements from the Revolution-ary Committees attacked the capital ofJabal Nafusah and encircled and raidedthe houses of some known Amazigh fig-ures. Local residents said they did notknow the specific reason for the securitycampaign, while some sources said theLibyan authorities were punishing all theAmazighs because some of their leadershad taken part in an expanded recentconference held to discuss their condi-tions in the Maghreb.But Bin-Khalifah said ‘‘there is no direct orimmediate cause for these events’’ andnoted that the ‘‘International AmazighCongress’’, which adopts the Amazighs’causes from its base in France, had a meet-ing recently with Colonel Gaddafy andadded: ‘‘There are no signs or indications.What happened was sudden and there wereabsolutely no moves beforehand other thanthe regime’s attempt to get rid of thenatives and create a new pit of tension.’’Amazigh activists claim that their influenceand presence in Libyan social, profes-sional, economic, scientific, administrative,and military circles could have aroused thefears of the authorities towards thembecause of their opposition to any attemptto bequeath leadership of the nation toCol. Gaddafy’s son.Yafran with its Amazigh majority is thesecond Libyan town to witness suddentroubles following the violence thatoccurred a few weeks earlier in Al-Kufrahtown in the south of Libya between theLibyan authorities and the local citizens.They were demonstrating against their dete-riorating living conditions and the central authorities’ neglect of their rights to have official identity cards in addition to depriving their sons of the right to government education and other basic services.(Al-Sharq al-Awsat website 27⁄12: BBC Mon.)

An Early Cretaceous vertebrate assemblage from the Cabao Formation of NW Libya - Le Loeuff, Jean; Métais, Eddy; Dutheil, Didier B.; Rubino, Jean Loup; Buffetaut, Eric; Lafont, François; Cavin, Lionel; Moreau, Fabrice; Tong, Haiyan; Blanpied, Christian; Sbeta, Ali (Geological Magazine, 2010)
Fossil vertebrates from the Cabao Formation discovered in the area of Nalut in northwestern Libya include the hybodont shark Priohybodus, the crocodilian Sarcosuchus, an abelisaurid, a baryonichine spinosaurid and a large sauropod with spatulate teeth. The Cabao Formation may be Hauterivian to Barremian in age, although an earlier Berriasian to Valanginian age cannot be excluded. Its dinosaur assemblage is reminiscent of that of the El Rhaz and Tiouraren formations of Niger and strongly differs from both the Cenomanian assemblages of Morocco and Egypt and the Late Aptian to Albian fauna of Tunisia. Fossil vertebrates may be an important tool to establish the stratigraphical framework of the poorly dated Early Cretaceous continental deposits of Africa.

Sulaiman al-Baruni Basha in the Gulf and the attempts of return to Libya - Nahed, Abdulkarim (Arab Journal for the Humanities, 2014)
This study investigates how the Italian government dealt with Sulaiman Al Baruni Basha, who was one of the most famous anti-occupation fighters in the Arab region in the modern era. Al Baruni resisted the Italian occupation of Libya and had to leave his country and settle in Oman. He moved between Oman and Iraq, where he sought medical attention. Due to hardships he and his family sustained over a long period of time, he went to the Italian Consulate in Baghdad, seeking permission to go back to his homeland. The correspondences between him and the Italian government in 1932 are diplomatic documents, which the Italian government has declassified just recently. These correspondences consist of 12 letters exchanged between the Italian Consulate in Baghdad, the Foreign Ministry in Rome, and the Ministry of Italian Colonies in East Africa. The researcher translated these letters and analyzed them, reaching the following conclusions: - Al Baruni's resistance had a serious impact on the Italian Occupation to the extent that his return to his homeland was considered a source of apprehension to the Italian government. - The documents demonstrate differences in opinions with regard to this issue. While the Italian Charge d`Affaires in Baghdad did not object to Sulaimans' return to Libya, the Ministry of Colonies was very reserved and suspicious of Al Baruni's intentions and of the impact his return would have on the people of Tripoli and Naffusa Mountain. On the other hand, the Foreign Ministry acted as a mediator between the two entities and wanted to take advantage of Al Barunis' adverse conditions. The Italian government wanted to exploit Al Baruni's condition in order to obtain information from him about Oman, given his position as a consultant to the Sultan of Oman and as a close comrade of the Imam.

Fleet Management and Naval Warfare. Geographic Origin and Onboard Life Regulations of the Royal Catalan-Aragonese Fleets against the Kingdom of Tunis (1430-1435) - Molins, Pol Junyent (2019)
The recurrence of war and the different areas where the armies were mobilised make the reign of Alfonso the Magnanimous an outstanding laboratory for the social study of war. Furthermore, it is even more excellent thanks to the vast amount of documentation preserved, which allows us to study the period in a much more comprehensive way. This paper would aim to be an approach the human component of the medieval Aragonese fleets analysing the particular case of the Royal fleet organised by King Alfons the Magnanimous in 1432 against de Tunisian island of Djerba. Often the motivation and relationship between the sea and the men who participated in such expeditions were very diverse, heterogeneous or even non-existent. The armada became somehow an exchange between social groups, sometimes forced, of different influences –economic, social, political, cultural- of different social status, communities of diverse territories and Kingdoms of the Crown of Aragon and, finally, between seafarers and landsmen. In this sense, we will focus on the study of the geographical and social origin of the crews of the Armada. Specifically, to the men who served in the four Royal ships and the Royal galley of the fleet. First of all, we will identify the centres of enlistment, and we will focus on the recruitment system. Secondly, we can note the nationalities so recorded, and comment on the patterns of service of the foreigner and identify if there was a government policy towards the service of crews of non Catalano-Aragonese origin, and the consequent attempts to record nationality on the enrolment books.

Mitochondrial DNA structure in North Africa reveals a genetic discontinuity in the Nile Valley - Fadhlaoui-Zid, Karima; Rodríguez‐Botigué, Laura; Naoui, Nejib; Benammar Elgaaied, Amel; Calafell, Francesc; Comas, David (American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2011)
Human population movements in North Africa have been mostly restricted to an east-west direction due to the geographical barriers imposed by the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea. Although these barriers have not completely impeded human migrations, genetic studies have shown that an east-west genetic gradient exists. However, the lack of genetic information of certain geographical areas and the focus of some studies in parts of the North African landscape have limited the global view of the genetic pool of North African populations. To provide a global view of the North African genetic landscape and population structure, we have analyzed ∼2,300 North African mitochondrial DNA lineages (including 269 new sequences from Libya, in the first mtDNA study of the general Libyan population). Our results show a clinal distribution of certain haplogroups, some of them more frequent in Western (H, HV0, L1b, L3b, U6) or Eastern populations (L0a, R0a, N1b, I, J) that might be the result of human migrations from the Middle East, sub-Saharan Africa, and Europe. Despite this clinal pattern, a genetic discontinuity is found in the Libyan/Egyptian border, suggesting a differential gene flow in the Nile River Valley. Finally, frequency of the post-LGM subclades H1 and H3 is predominant in Libya within the H sequences, highlighting the magnitude of the LGM expansion in North Africa.

Djerba's Rabbis: Orthodox Judaism in Islamic Territories? / רבני ג'רבא – האומנם יהדות חרדית בארצות האסלאם? - Naim, Yaron (Jewish Studies / מדעי היהדות, 2014)
It is commonly argued today that the Jews of Djerba—an isolated, mysterious island across from southern Tunisia—held to worldviews and halakhic concepts similar to those common among Ultra-Orthodox European Jews. Yet researchers have singled out one supposed exception: the positive attitude of Djerba's rabbis towards Zionism and its leaders. A closer examination will show that this assumption of a shared outlook is unsupported. By clarifying and explaining the concept of Orthodoxy, I will suggest that the key challenges created by the tension between conservatism and modernity regarding human rights—i.e., democracy, free choice, human autonomy, etc.—caused European rabbis, headed by Moshe Sofer (the "Chatam Sofer") to formulate a religious response characterized by conservatism and a complete rejection of modernity. On the other hand, I will show that Djerba's rabbis and Jewish community, headed by Rabbi Khalfon Moshe Hacohen (1874–1950), impressively handled the challenges posed by modernity for religious Jews, on precisely those same points at which European orthodoxy rejected modernity. It is worth noting that Djerba Jews retained their strict religious principles, and even became an ongoing source of religious and halakhic inspiration for the rest of North African Jewry. I will present examples of Rabbi Hacohen's positive attitude towards modernity and explain why there is no real similarity between European Orthodox Judaism and Djerba Judaism. Finally, I will speculate as to the origins of the false notion of the comparability of the halakhic attitude of Djerba Jews and that of the European Jewish communities.

Production et commercialisation des vanneries dans les oasis du Sahara - Benfoughal, Tatiana (Journal des africanistes, 2007)
Le tressage des vanneries fait partie des activités des cultivateurs des oasis, parce qu’ils ont à leur disposition la matière première tirée du palmier dattier qui permet de produire un nombre considérable d’objets indispensables au travail agricole et à la vie quotidienne. Dans la pratique oasienne, il y a plusieurs modes de fonctionnement, depuis la production domestique jusqu'à l’artisanat, en passant par différentes formules transitoires. Les transformations actuelles des sociétés sahariennes bousculent les fonctionnements traditionnels et complexifient les modes socio-économiques de cette activité.

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.

The genus Amphistegina (benthic foraminifera): distribution along the southern Tunisian coast - El Kateb, Akram; Stalder, Claudio; Stainbank, Stephanie; Fentimen, Robin; Spezzaferri, Silvia (BioInvasions Records, 2018)
The benthic foraminiferal genus Amphistegina is currently expanding its range in the Mediterranean Sea after being introduced through the Suez Canal from the Red Sea. Over the previous decade, Amphistegina spp. has colonized the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea including the Egyptian and Libyan coasts, but the present southern limit in the Mediterranean Sea is along the southern Tunisian coast. However, this limit has never clearly been defined, and existing models predict an expansion along the entire Tunisian coastline. The Gulf of Gabes, in the southern part of Tunisia, is heavily polluted by local phosphate industries that discharge untreated waste directly into the sea. Amphistegina spp. is sensitive to water quality and marine pollution. Based on our surveys and recent investigations, the present distribution area of Amphistegina spp. along the south Tunisian coast includes the coastline east of Djerba Island, located in the Gulf of Gabes. Possible limiting factors for Amphistegina spp. expansion in the Gulf of Gabes may be the unfavourable environmental conditions generated by the phosphate industry.

Monitoring shoreline change on Djerba Island using GIS and multi-temporal satellite data - Bouchahma, Majed; Yan, Wanglin (Arabian Journal of Geosciences, 2014)
In the absence of a generic approach to study shoreline changes, this research focus on the development of a generic methodology to detect, measure, analyze, and predict shoreline changes to manage coastal environment. The unique strength of this approach is that it incorporates image processing techniques, remotely sensed derived data into a GIS to analyze measure, and predict and visualize shoreline changes. It is independent from the study region or the remote sensing data. This methodology uses Speeded Up Robust Feature to detect the study regions from satellite images automatically. Also, it proposes a model of shoreline using the Canny edge detector on Normalized Difference Water Index image. To measure the changes, Digital Shoreline Analysis System extension of ArcGIS was used and the End Point Rate (EPR) and Linear Regression Rate (LRR) approaches were used on the modeled shoreline. The EPR is calculated by dividing the distance of shoreline movement by the time elapsed between the oldest and the most recent shoreline. A LRR statistic can be determined by fitting a least-squares regression line to all shoreline points for a particular transect. Three regions of the island of Djerba in Tunisia were selected for this study; Rass Errmall, El Kastil, and Aghir. Accretions as well as erosion processes were observed in the study areas between 1984 and 2009. The average of the erosion was around −6.95 m/year in Aghir. The average of erosion is around −4.09 m/year and accretion trend is around +11.7 m/year in Rass Errmall. El Kastil was under a remarkable accretion with 21.14 m/year during the same period.

New insights on the relative sea level change during Holocene along the coasts of Tunisia and western Libya from archaeological and geomorphological markers - Anzidei, M.; Antonioli, F.; Lambeck, K.; Benini, A.; Soussi, M.; Lakhdar, R. (Quaternary International, 2011)
New data of sea level changes for the Mediterranean region along the coasts of northern Africa are presented. Data are inferred from archaeological sites of Punic-Roman age located along the coast of Tunisia, between Tunis and Jerba island and along the western coast of Libya, between Sabratha and Leptis Magna. Data are based on precise measures of presently submerged archaeological markers that are good indicators of past sea-level elevation. Nineteen selected archaeological sites were studied in Tunisia and four in Libya, all aged between ∼2.0 and ∼1.5 ka BP. The functional elevations of significant archaeological markers were measured with respect to the sea level at the time of measurements, applying corrections for tide and atmospheric pressure values. The functional elevations of specific architectural parts of the sites were interpreted, related to sea level at the time of their construction providing data on the relative changes between land and sea. Observations were compared against sea level change predictions derived from the glacio-hydro-isostatic model associated with the Last Glacial cycle. The results indicate that local relative sea level change along the coast of Tunisia and Libya, has increased 0.2 ÷ 0.5 m since the last ∼2 ka. Besides minor vertical tectonic movements of the land, the observed changes are produced by eustatic and glacio-hydro-isostatic variations acting in the Mediterranean basin since the end of the last glacial maximum.

Salt tolerance of the annual halophyte Cakile maritima as affected by the provenance and the developmental stage - Megdiche, Wided; Ben Amor, Nader; Debez, Ahmed; Hessini, Kamel; Ksouri, Riadh; Zuily-Fodil, Yasmine; Abdelly, Chedly (Acta Physiologiae Plantarum, 2007)
Though halophytes are naturally adapted to salinity, their salt-tolerance limits are greatly influenced by their provenance and developmental stage. In the present study, physio-biochemical responses of two Tunisian ecotypes of the oilseed coastal halophyte Cakile maritima (Brassicaceae) to salinity (0–400 mM NaCl) were monitored during germination and vegetative growth stages. Tabarka and Jerba seeds were collected from humid or arid climatic areas, respectively. Plant response to salinity appeared to depend on the ecotype and salinity levels. Increasing salinity inhibited germination process. Jerba seeds were found to be more salt tolerant than the Tabarka ones. At the autotrophic stage of growth and under salt-free conditions, Jerba was less productive than Tabarka (in terms of dry matter accumulation), but plant biomass production and leaf expansion (area and number) of the former ecotype were progressively improved by 100 mM NaCl, as compared to the control. In contrast, at the same salt concentration, these parameters decreased under increasing salinity in Tabarka (salt sensitive). Leaf chlorophyll content was reduced at severe salinity, but this effect was more conspicuous in the sensitive Tabarka plants. Na+ contents in the Jerba and Tabarka leaves collected from the 400 mM NaCl-treated plants were 17- and 12-fold higher than in the respective controls. This effect was accompanied by a significant reduction in the leaf K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+ contents, especially in the salt-treated Tabarka. A significant accumulation of proline and soluble carbohydrates in leaves was found during the period of intensive leaf growth. These organic compounds likely play a role in leaf osmotic adjustment and in protection of membrane stability at severe salinity.

Observations on Tenebrionicds (Col. Heteromera) of Djerba (Tunisia): ecology and biogeography - Marcuzzi, Giorgio (Mediterránea. Serie de Estudios Biológicos, 2005)
Ecological and biogeographical characteristics of 14 species of Tenebrionids (Coleoptera Heteromera) so far known for the Djerba Island (Tunisia, Gulf of Gabes) are illustrated for the first time. Basing on distribution we may recognize South-Western Mediterranean species; 3 centro-southern Mediterranean; 1 extended to the shores of Mediterranean Basin; 1 Western-Mediterranean element; 2 limited to South Mediterranean coast east of Morocco; 1 extended from Morocco (Atlantic coast) to Iran and Northern Arabic Peninsula, 1 extended from Algeria to Iran; 1 endemic of Djerba (Stenohelops berettai Marcuzzi), 1 widely distributed (Mediterranean s. lato). The distribution if often of relict type, due probably to its age. Basing on ecology there are 2 psammophilous species, 4 steppic, 3 rather euryoikous. Most Djeba Tenebrionids can be considered steppic (litoral or continental). Beside an endemic, 3 species show a distribution limited to centro-southern part of Mediterranean; the other are Western Mediterranean or widely distributed species (Scleron armatum and still more Tentyriagrossa and Zophosis punctata. The Tenebrionid coenosis –as well as insect coenoses as a whole– are heavily menaced by the continuously increasing anthropization, with human density, agriculture, grazing and tourism. The former determines a pumping of water from pits, with a possible salification of the water table, harmful to both invertebrates and plants. The excavation of clay for handicraft is another menace to environment, here included landscape. Grazing is bringing about a reduction and sometimes disappearance of coastal dunes, because of destruction of local vegetation (especially Gramineae). Measures of conservation characteristics of landscape invoked due to the great ecological and biogeographical interest of Tenebrionid coenoses living on Djerba since Miocene, and due to the systematic status of some species, still discussed, in this as in many steppic and desertic North African localities.

Abundance and biomass of the ciliate community during a spring cruise in the Gulf of Gabes (Eastern Mediterranean Sea, Tunisia) - Aleya, Lotfi; Hannachi, Imen; Drira, Zaher; Hassen, Malika; Hamza, Asma; Ayadi, Habib; Bouain, Abderrahman (Acta Protozoologica, 2008)
We studied the spring spatial distribution of the ciliate community coupled with environmental factors along the coast and in the open sea at 30 stations sampled (between 27 May and 9 June 2006) in the Gulf of Gabes (Tunisia, Eastern Mediterranean Sea). A total of 61 taxa belonging to 36 genera and 5 taxonomic classes were identified. The ciliate assemblage was numerically dominated by spirotrichs (86% of total ciliates). This group is largely dominated by the choreotrichs (92%) among which tintinnids represented 99%. The total ciliates abundance showed a gradual decrease from the coastal area to the open sea and an increase from the surface to the bottom. The maximum abundance (400 cells l-1) and biomass (6.29 µgC l-1) were found in station 27, close to Djerba Island. The tinitinnid Rhabdonella spiralis was cosmopolitan, being found almost at every station and at each depth, while other taxa may be exclusive to the neritic area, others to the open sea area. The distribution of species in the Gulf of Gabes seemed most likely influenced by the combined effects of hydrographic conditions, zooplankton predation and urban interferences.

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.

The mudsnail genus Hydrobia s.s. in the northern Atlantic and western Mediterranean: a phylogenetic hypothesis - Wilke, T.; Rolán, E.; Davis, G. M. (Marine Biology, 2000)
The mudsnail taxon Hydrobia s.l. plays a major role in numerous ecological and parasitological studies. Yet, its taxonomy is confusing and its biogeography is poorly understood. A principal problem is that taxa of Hydrobia s.l. belong to morphostatic radiations – widely allopatric species radiations with little or no habitat diversification and a low level of anatomical change. So far, three morphostatic radiations can be identified within Hydrobia s.l.: Hydrobia s.s., Peringia, and Ventrosia. These radiations are identical with the putative genera of Hydrobia s.l. The purpose of the paper is to infer phylogenetic relationships within one of these radiations, Hydrobia s.s. in the northern Atlantic and western Mediterranean. A total of 22 populations, including topotypical populations of five commonly used taxa, were studied genetically using partial sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene. Based on molecular data and the species concept we define, the following species and subspecies were identified: Hydrobia acuta acuta (Draparnaud, 1805) [=H. minoricensis (Paladilhe, 1875)], H. acuta neglecta Muus, 1963, and H. glyca (Servain, 1880) (=H. joossei van Aartsen, Menkhorst and Gittenberger, 1984). One population from Djerba, Tunisia (Hydrobia sp. A) and one population from Mallorca, Spain (Hydrobia sp. B) are genetically distinct from all other taxa studied here. Both populations potentially represent new species. Due to the fact that only one population each has been studied, and so the degree of variation within these two taxa cannot be assessed, a final decision regarding their species level cannot yet be made.

La myiase conjonctivale humaine à Oestrus ovis dans le sud tunisien - Anane, S.; Ben Hssine, L. (Bulletin de la Société de pathologie exotique, 2010)
La myiase conjonctivale est une affection caractérisée par la présence accidentelle de larves de mouches au niveau de la conjonctive. Nous rapportons 11 cas de myiase conjonctivale afin d’attirer l’attention des ophtalmologistes sur cette rare pathologie, éclaircir son diagnostic, son traitement et ses complications. Les signes cliniques étaient ceux d’un corps étranger évoluant d’une façon bruyante. Le diagnostic a reposé sur la détection des larves à l’examen à la lampe à fente, larves qui ont été identifiées comme celles du premier stade d’Oestrus ovis. Le traitement consistant à l’extraction des larves une à une a été suivi du soulagement immédiat des malades. En conclusion, un traitement adéquat et précoce prévient l’évolution vers les complications sévères de l’ophtalmomyiase interne.

Analysis of the essential oil of Artemisia campestris L. - Akrout, Ahmed; Chemli, Rachid; Chreïf, Imed; Hammami, Mohamed (Flavour and Fragrance Journal, 2001)
The composition of the essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation from the aerial parts of several populations of Artemisia campestris L. (Asteraceae), collected from four areas of south-eastern of Tunisia (Bengardane, Benikhdache, Jerba and Tataouine), was analysed by GC–MS. Thirteen to fifteen components were identified in each sample, representing more than 95% of the total oil. All samples were dominated by the presence of β-pinene (24.2–27.9%), p-cymene (17.4–22.3%) and α-pinene (4.1–11.0%), representing more than 45% of the total oil. The distribution of other components in the different extracts was qualitatively and quantitatively irregular. The variability of the composition can be attributed to the climatic and geographical conditions among areas

Religious observance and market law in medieval Islam: The controversal application of the prohibition of usury according to some Ibâḍî sources - Francesca, Ersilia (Revue des mondes musulmans et de la Méditerranée, 2002)
Especially on the prohibition of Ribā. Pp. 200-201: in dealing with the Ribā prohibition, one can point out a further incongruity in the Ibāḍī law. As stated above, money exchange and, in general, dealings in precious metals demanded immediate delivery of the two lots which had been exchanged. This doctrine was generally accepted but, among the Ibāḍīs, the ʿUmānī scholar Ibn Baraka (middle of the 5th/11th c.) stated that the exchange of gold for silver on credit is allowed. ... The doctrine of Ibn Baraka did not become part of the school’s teaching. This doctrine may be regarded as a survival of the original Medinese custom in that some traditions quoted by Muslim reported that, during the Prophet’s lifetime, people in Medina used to exchange gold for silver on credit.
