Discerning the Holy Spirit in the World of Religious Pluralism(s), Secularism(s), and Science(s): A Multilayered Constructive Christian Vision of Pneumatology for the Third Millennium
Authors: Kärkkäinen Veli-Matti
Published: April 2024

This essay seeks to reimagine Christian pneumatology in a radically new key. This plural and multilayered vision allows us to discern the presence and work of the Spirit of God in the cosmos, in the secular and religiously pluralistic world and society, as well as in Christian life at both the ecclesial and personal levels. No need to mention that this kind of authentically Christian reimagining can only be accomplished in an integral trinitarian framework. This plural paradigm engages critically spiritual “powers” and energies (as in traditional “angelology”), the S/spirit(s) in other religions, the spirit(s) of the public realm (as in sciences, politics, and economy), and the spiritual aspects of (post-)secularism. And in difference from the traditional limited conception of the Spirit’s work to the “spiritual,” the multilayered and complex account of pneumatology seeks to envision the Spirit’s work in all aspects of the world and life.

RECURSOS DIDÁTICOS UTILIZADOS POR PROFESSORES DE CIÊNCIAS DA REDE PÚBLICA DE ANÁPOLIS-GO E O SEU CONHECIMENTO SOBRE OS MIXOMICETOS
Authors: Araújo Jéssica Conceição , Xavier-Santos Solange , Paulo Pedro Oliveira
Published: April 2024

Recursos didáticos são materiais utilizados como auxílio no processo de ensino-aprendizagem pelo professor junto a seus alunos. Entre suas funções básicas, destacam-se a influência motivacional nos estudantes, a capacidade de atuar como mediador do conhecimento e, consequentemente, facilitador do processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Organismos modelos são seres vivos com características particulares e têm sido utilizados como importantes ferramentas de estudos para pesquisas em várias áreas, inclusive a Educação. Classificados no Reino Protozoa, Filo Amoebozoa, os mixomicetos compreendem um grupo de seres vivos que apresentam características peculiares, tanto em seu aspecto morfológico quanto fisiológico, sendo considerados organismos modelo para a representação de diversos fenômenos biológicos. Tendo em vista esse cenário, este trabalho teve por objetivo investigar os recursos didáticos utilizados por professores de Ciências do Ensino Fundamental de dez escolas públicas de Anápolis-GO, bem como seu conhecimento sobre os mixomicetos. Os dados foram obtidos por meio de questionários aplicados a um grupo de 14 professores de Ciências e foram analisados de forma quali-quantitativa.  Foi verificado que os recursos didáticos mais utilizados pelos professores são o quadro/lousa, o projetor de multimídia e o livro didático. Os conhecimentos destes profissionais acerca dos mixomicetos foram considerados rasos, revelando concepções equivocadas e incompletas. Destacamos que seres vivos com potencial como ferramenta educacional, como é o caso dos mixomicetos, devem ser explorados para este propósito, principalmente com a realização de trabalhos voltados ao desenvolvimento de recursos didáticos que sejam acessíveis e apresentem amplas possibilidades de uso, principalmente para os professores dos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental da Educação Básica.

Published: April 2024

Background: Stroke, also known as a cerebro-vascular accident (CVA), is the second largest cause of mortality and the top leading cause of disability worldwide, with 6.7 million people dying from stroke attacks each year. Stroke patients face different difficulties in which gait abnormalities is the most common. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the effect of virtual reality game based training for improving gait in post stokes patients. Methodology: This was a quasi-experimental study (single group) with non-probability convenient sampling for which sample size was 40, calculated through Open Epi. Baseline assessment was taken at start of study and final assessment was done after 8 weeks through outcome measures (TUG test, MAS scale, forward stepping test and Functional reach test). SPSS version 23 was used to analyze and record the data. Descriptive statistics were used to calculate mean and SD for all continuous data and percentages were calculated for all categorical data. Paired T test was used to compare mean change in data before and after intervention. Results: Although there was some improvement post scoring on outcome measurement scales applied in this study, still there was no significant difference between pre and post walking speed (P = 0.702), TUG test (P = 0.146), MAS scale (P = 0.227), forward stepping test (P = 0.089) and functional reach test (P = 0.415). Conclusion: This study concluded that, VR game based task specific training has improved the gait in post stroke patients but statistically there was no significant difference.

Authors: Usman Muhammad , Awan Laiba , Jawad Said , Ahmad Uzair , Khan Mashal , Rehman Subhan Ur
Published: April 2024

Background: Amputation is a profoundly life-altering event that can have both physical and psychological impacts on individuals. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the frequency of low back pain and its effect on function and health-related quality of life in individuals with various levels of lower limb amputation. Methods: It was a cross-sectional study at the Pakistan Institute of Prosthetic and Orthotics Peshawar (PIPOS) from May to September 2020, 264 participants were purposively selected. Inclusion criteria: males and females aged 18-65 with unilateral transfemoral, knee disarticulation, or transtibial amputations. Exclusion criteria: hearing/speech impairments, hip pathology, or bilateral lower limb amputation. Data collected via selfadministered questionnaires, including the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) and the Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36). Data analyzed using SPSS v.25. Results: Of the 264 participants, 219 were males (83%), and 45 were females (17%). There was significant connection between before and after amputation back pain (P < 0.05). However, no notable link was observed between low back pain and the three amputation levels (P > 0.05). Moreover, there was no statistical disparity in disability based on the level of amputation (P > 0.05). Significantly, low back pain differed across all quality of life domains (P < 0.05), except for mental and physical health. In contrast, no statistical variation was noted in the quality of life among the three amputation levels (P > 0.05). Conclusion: This study underscores the prevalence of low back pain in lower limb amputees. However, we did not find a clear association between low back pain and specific amputation levels (unilateral transfemoral, knee disarticulation, or transtibial amputation). Additionally, low back pain appears to impact disability and select aspects of quality of life, such as physical function, social function, and general health in individuals with lower limb amputation.

Published: April 2024

This review paper focuses on the potential of solar energy and its applications in addressing the energy crisis in Pakistan. Currently heavily reliant on non-renewable sources, Pakistan faces severe power shortages and lacks access to electricity in many rural areas. The paper highlighting its geographical position and the availability of solar radiation. The review emphasizes the need to harness the vast solar energy resources available in the country. It was discovered that over 100,000 MW of electricity from sunlight could be generated, particularly in regions within the Sunny Belt. The annual average daily global radiation of Pakistan is: horizontal (GHI) - 16 MJ/m2, oblique (GTI) - 13 MJ/m2. The minimum annual average daily GHI in Pakistan is higher than the world average annual average daily GHI. At the same time, in Pakistan, thermal power generation accounts for most of the energy production (61% in 2020, 63% in 2021, and 61% in 2022), while renewable energy sources account for the least (3% in 2020, 2% in 2021, and 3% in 2022). It emphasizes the need for research and development, as well as policy support, to promote the adoption of solar energy technologies. In conclusion, this review paper sheds light on the significance of solar thermal energy as a renewable and sustainable solution for Pakistan's energy dilemma. It underscores the need for increased investments, technological advancements, and policy interventions to harness the immense solar energy potential and pave the way for a greener and more energy-secure future in Pakistan.
The market`s (non) reaction to ministerial instability
Authors: Souza Luiz Fellipe Freitas de , Maia Vinicius Mothé , Deus Joseph David Barroso Vasconcelos de , Queiroz Juliana Molina
Published: April 2024

This research analyzes the impact of the ministerial instability on the market value of Brazilian companies. We use a study of events to measure the abnormal returns of the companies in 26 events, covering the period from 2019 to 2022. The estimation window used was 252 previous returns to the event window. We select the 100 companies with the greatest participation in the Bovespa index, without considering holdings. Regarding abnormal returns, only two specific events stood out. Overall, at 90%, 95% and 99% confidence intervals, the results do not allow confirming or rejecting the hypothesis that the stock market reacted to ministerial instability during the government of Jair Bolsonaro. The lack of a relationship between the Brazilian stock market and politics reveals a possible disregard on the part of the market for and with the instabilities of public policies that may be promoted by ministerial instability.

Igbo Enwegh Eze: From an Antinomy to the Deutro Nomos – A Critique of the Second Wave of Pseudo-Monarchism in the Evolution of Igbo Political Systems
Authors:   Department of English University of Central Florida, Nwakanma Obi
Published: April 2024

Since the Igbo people of Southern Nigeria have experienced, and have indeed suffered, a profound crisis of identity, which has ultimately created gaps in group psychology and group coherence, and possibly reduced the capacity for group organization among the Igbo. Identity crisis can often manifest in a loss of will, in the radical constriction of social space, and in the loss of even the capacity to establish and consolidate values that often mark, differentiate, and preserve nations. Nothing signals, in my estimation at the very least, this crisis of identity more resolutely than the rise of the pseudo-monarchy in Igbo land. As an institution, the “Ezes” and the “Igwes” couched today as Igbo traditional rulers are creating a new order of reality. This paper traces the origin, manifestation and impact of this change on the Igbo.
Colonialism and the Changing Nature of Indigenous Political Organisations: The Okun-Yoruba and the Igbo in Comparative Perspectives
Authors:   Department of History/International Studies, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Ojo Ranti Matthew
Published: April 2024

The study carries out a comparative analysis of the nature and characters of indigenous politics and leadership among the Okun-Yoruba and the Igbo of Southeastern Nigeria. The paper extends the analysis to the changing nature of the political organisation of both societies as a result of external influence. For the Okun-Yoruba, the paper explores the political organisations and nature of intergroup relations before the Nupe invasion in the mid-nineteenth century and the subsequent imposition of British colonial rule in Nigeria around 1900. The indigenous political organisation of the Igbo is subjected to a comparative analysis with the Okun-Yoruba. The study also examines the impact of British colonialism on both the Igbo and Okun-Yoruba. It is noted that both the Okun and Igbo societies shared similar indigenous political and social structures that were characterised by small-scale political units. These colonial arrangements had far-reaching consequences on inter-group relations as well as the political organisation of both Okunland and Igboland. British colonial arrangement applied a new system of administration that was fashioned in line with the indirect rule system which was antithetical to the pre-colonial situation. The British imperialism in Nigeria did not only alter the political landscape but they also changed the nature of intergroup relations for both Okun Yoruba and the Igbo.
Gender and Notions of Autonomy in Igboland: An Assessment of Literatures on the Phenomenon of Female Husbands
Authors:   University of Nigeria Nsukka, Onogwu Elizabeth , Nnabueze Amuche ,   University of Nigeria Nsukka, Ezike Simon ,   University of Nigeria Nsukka
Published: April 2024

The notions of autonomy in Igboland, or anywhere else, can be subjective, as it can conceptualised from an economic, cultural, gender or other standpoint. Gender autonomy, as conceptualised in this paper, focuses on how women in traditional Igbo culture married other women and assumed all the inherent functions and customary responsibilities thereon. Ifi Amadiume has elaborately documented this complex, institutionalised system of gender-bending in her groundbreaking book, Male Daughters, Female Husbands. Other writers of Igbo extraction, like Cheluchi Onyemelekwe and Akachi Adimora-Ezigbo’s books, Son of the House and Children of the Eagle, respectively, have addressed the phenomenon too. This essay is a metacritical analysis of Ifi Amadiume’s anthropological work, which explores the processes and nature of such relationships in Igboland, while also critically analysing the novels by Cheluchi Onyemelukwe and Akachi Adimora-Ezeigbo which fictionalise the practice. The paper concludes by arguing that female-female marriage in Igbo land strongly indicates the strength, agency, and individuality of Igbo women and the density of the Igbo culture, thus necessitating its continuous study.

Published: April 2024

The increasing spiritual consciousness in Igboland since the end of the civil war has created conditions for the emergence of several cult groups. One of such cults is the Ezenwanyi practice. It has in recent times gained more prominence. What started as a call to serve the spiritual needs of the people, has grown to include other interests. The cult’s uniqueness, as the name literally implies (woman king), is that its membership is an exclusive reserve of women. This has raised a number of questions: Why this female chauvinism? Is it a counter to other male cults? Do the gods also recognise gender speciality in discharging certain spiritual functions? Is it possible in a supposedly patriarchal society such as the Igbo, to have a spiritual cult group that excludes the male folk? Is it part of female empowerment? Apparently, these questions have not been adequately addressed in the literature. Therefore, in this study, the authors explored the notion of gender autonomy in the Ezenwanyi cult in Enugu-Ezike, Obollo-Afor and Okpuje using a descriptive narrative technique. The findings reveal that (apart from claims of call to service, peer influence, economic interest and social relevance), cultural revival is evident in the growing interest in and proliferation of the Ezenwanyi cult practice.
Deities as the third arm of traditional Igbo government

Published: April 2024

Igbo studies, especially on political organisations, have enjoyed robust scholarly attention in historical discourse in recent times. The Igbo, unlike their immediate neighbours such as Benin (Edo) and the Igala, ran two parallel systems of government in the pre-colonial period. While some practised a centralised system of government, a reasonable number of Igbo communities contended with decentralised systems. Some reasons for the reign of peace and harmony amongst the Igbo have remained largely uninvestigated and unappreciated. The role of deities as the judicial arm of government in the defence and execution of the law in Igboland has been sketchy in the literature. This extant gap appears to have been ignored by most Igbo scholars who, having been trained in mission schools, have negatively profiled deities and their roles in the traditional Igbo political system. This Eurocentric view calls for a re-interpretation so as to broaden the frontiers of knowledge of this religio-political institution and its role in justice delivery among the Igbo in the decentralized group. This study, therefore, investigates the role of deities in the sustenance of village democracy and autonomy in Igboland. Data garnered from the above sources were organised, analysed and presented through descriptive and analytical approach. This study stirs up deeper insight into this more or less dormant area of Igbo history and also arouses scholarly attention thereto. The study found that deities in non-centralised Igbo communities substituted monarchical institutions and thus brought spiritual dimensions into the Igbo system of governance.

Published: April 2024

This article examines current aspects of musculoskeletal health and pharmacotherapy of disorders of the human musculoskeletal system. An objective review of disorders of the musculoskeletal system was conducted in the areas of administration, clinical and pharmacological, organizational and legal, pharmaceutical management. The results of the systematic review show that the availability of diagnoses in the section "Orthopedics and traumatology" on the platform of the state expert center of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine is limited. It is necessary and urgent to expand the scientific base for practicing doctors. The study confirmed the importance of using new clinical protocols in medical and pharmaceutical practice for the implementation of evidence-based medicine and evidence-based pharmacy in Ukraine. Gradual improvement of medical and pharmaceutical practice allows to increase the quality, efficiency, safety, availability of pharmacotherapy for patients with disorders of the musculoskeletal system. The paper examines guidelines developed on the basis of health evidence provided by Duodecim Medical Publications. The study shows the availability of a wide range of treatment methods and helps to determine optimal therapy strategies in the field of orthopedics. It was found that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesics are more often prescribed for the pharmacotherapy of disorders of the musculoskeletal system, which emphasizes the perspective of further clinical and pharmacological, organizational and legal researches in the pharmaceutical development and management of new drugs.

Deep foundations could be preferred instead of shallow foundations in the event that the loads coming from the structure are excessive and the soil state is inconvenient. Rectangular shaped barrette piles are the one of them. In this study, firstly a series of laboratory tests have been conducted using three different sizes of barrette and bored piles placed in the sand soil. Then, finite element based three-dimensional back analyses have been performed using the data obtained from these tests. Afterwards; a series of parametric analyses were performed with different pile geometries, including real pile dimension used in current geotechnical applications. As seen that bored piles are exposed to displacement approximately 2 times more than barrette piles under the same force at all pile lengths. When the pile lengths used in real geotechnical applications are also investigated, it has been determined that bored piles have displacements between 1.5 and 2.3 times more than barrette piles. Numerical results with the piles of small cross-section area show that barrette piles have more bearing capacity compared with bored piles. As the pile length increases, barrette piles could be more loads from 2% up to 17%. When the piles in real geotechnical dimensions are examined, barrette piles have revealed more bearing capacity performance from 7% to 49% when compared to bored piles as the pile length increases. It also has been revealed that barrette piles show better performance than bored piles both in experimental and numerical analyses.
