Africans on the Vanguard: Historicizing the Origin of Anglicanism in Akamba of Kenya
Authors: Joshua Stephen Muoki , Mutati Christopher
Published: July 2024

The establishment of Anglicanism in Ukamba during the 19th century was by default as far as Church Missionary Society (CMS) activities were concerned. Despite its 1844 presence in the neighbouring Coastal region, it was not until the close of the century that CMS-affiliated congregations started to emerge in Ukamba. Contrary to Africa Inland Mission’s (AIM) Peter Cameron, who on 12th December 1895 went straight into Ukamba and bypassed the Coast, Church Missionary Society’s Ludwig Krapf repeatedly failed in establishing a Christian Mission Station in Ukamba. Consequently, Kamba converts in the Coastal region returned home as evangelists and established kitoro[1] (defiant) Churches independent of missionary support. Activities by these Kamba evangelists in successive years are undocumented and untold in London Missionary reports. Oral narratives in the custody of family and friends are fast fading away. These include those of Jeremiah Muti, Joshua Muoka, Nathaniel Kamusa, Paul Muyu and James Muthoka. The article relies on oral history and archival materials to reconstruct the story of early Anglicanism in Ukamba. The story of Jeremiah Muti, key among Ukamba early Anglican evangelists, is a critical case in highlighting the untold African agency in the early missionary enterprise.
Refusing Change Invites Failure: The Most Stubborn Figures in Biblical History and Their Implications for Contemporary Christian Thought and Practice
Authors: Diko Mlamli
Published: July 2024

The scholarly scrutinisation of stubbornness in biblical narratives offers profound perspectives into the intricacies of human nature and its intersection with religious faith and spirituality. This article explores the subject of stubbornness as (re)produced by the biblical experiences of Pharaoh and King Nebuchadnezzar. Psychoanalytical and cognitive dissonance theories are applied to these two biblical figures. As a result, three notable findings emerge. First, a spectrum of stubbornness within biblical narratives is uncovered, ranging from defiant resistance to unwavering commitment. Second, the enduring relevance of these biblical narratives for contemporary Christianity is underscored, buttressing the ongoing tensions between conviction and openness, and their implications for ethical decision-making, social justice advocacy, and interfaith dialogues. Third, this article suggests that the scrutinisation of stubbornness in biblical history could inform contemporary understandings of subtle church dynamics, particularly regarding leadership, conflict resolution, and community cohesion. In addition, this article underlines the significance of humility, discernment, and sensitivity in addressing challenges of spiritual obstinacy within Christian communities, promoting a balanced approach to contextualisation and application of biblical dogmas.
Analysing the International Legal Framework on Nationality: An African and Asian Perspective
Authors: Dube Angelo , Mahleza Yeukai
Published: July 2024

This article examines the prevention of and protection against statelessness through analysis of case law and laws that have dealt with this matter both internationally and at a regional level, with specific reference to two continents (Africa and Asia). The analysis also includes the remedies that are available to individuals who are stateless as well as the enforcement thereof. Cognisance is given to statelessness being the state of not belonging to any country, or not being recognised as a national of any country. The article also analyses how colonialism contributed to people being stateless and how laws have changed beyond the colonial era. Emphasis is placed on the need for consensus between states on what measures should be considered when determining citizenship. The desktop, library research approach will be used in this research. Primary and secondary sources will be consulted. Case law, conventions, and statutes will be the main sources of law. The research will evaluate the differences between the selected jurisdictions’ nationality laws. The way that nationality rules have been applied in those jurisdictions will also be determined by consulting case law. Additionally, journal articles, opinion pieces, and other internet-based resources will be used as secondary sources for the research. These sources offer valuable insights into the concerns expressed by interested parties about nationality and the elements that each jurisdiction has considered and needs to incorporate into their legal framework.

Published: July 2024

Today's work scenario is characterized by a fast rate of change, intense pressure, constant decline, changing demographics, increasing use of technology have affected the lives of employees. A person working aims to find life-work balance in his personal life. Work-life balance has implications for attitudes, behavior, welfare and organizational effectiveness. Therefore, it is necessary to have an attitude of appreciation from a sense of diversity towards a religion and one's belief in the existence of God which is manifested by obeying His commands and prohibitions with all one's heart and soul which is called religiosity. Religious activities are closely related to religiosity, not only when performing rituals (worship), but also other activities including work. Thus, religiosity can predict a person's behavior at work. This article reviews the literature on the role of religiosity in the work-life balance domain for employees, which emphasizes the importance of work-life balance supported by the values of religiosity of the employees.
Entre resistências e permanências: jornais do interior no golpe civil-militar de 1964
Authors: Kobori Nayara
Published: July 2024

O presente artigo trata das articulações de dois jornais do interior do estado de São Paulo, especificamente da cidade de Ribeirão Preto, no período que antecedeu o golpe civil-militar de 1964. Para isso, propõe-se a analisar os textos opinativos dos periódicos Diário da Manhã e Diário de Notícias a partir da abordagem Hermenêutica em Profundidade de Thompson (1995) em um método misto com a Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin (2016) para revelar como as formas simbólicas expressam ideologias – ora de resistências, ora hegemônicas – em relação ao período autoritário. Além disso, é necessário tratar da figura dos editores de ambos os veículos, sendo eles Antônio Machado Sant’Anna e Antônio Carlos Sant’Anna, do Diário da Manhã, e padre Celso Ibson de Syllos, do Diário de Notícias, já que eles participavam não somente da produção jornalística do interior, mas também de movimentos sociais, entidades e outros grupos sociais atuantes na cidade. A pesquisa contribui para entender a continuidade do pensamento autoritário no Brasil, por meio da análise das formas simbólicas na mobilização de sentidos para a manutenção ou contestação de ideologias hegemônicas.

Individual identification is a critical focus of forensic research, aiming to achieve heightened accuracy in the identification process. Particularly in cases involving fragmented and damaged skeletal remains, sex determination plays a pivotal role. It is imperative to establish the precision of cadaver bones in such scenarios. This research aimed to evaluate sex-based differences and assess age using bimastoid width measured through digital computed tomography images. The study included a total of 153 adults (77 males and 76 females) aged between 15 and 50. Bimastoid breadth measurements were obtained from CT scan images of the skull base, revealing that bimastoid distance is larger in males compared to females. The study observed significant differences in bimastoid breadth between men and women, with an average mastoid width of 132.371 in men and 121.724 in women. The findings indicate that the measurement of bimastoid breadth does not significantly change with increasing age. However, substantial differences were found between men and women in bimastoid breadth measurements, which can be utilized to determine sex in forensic investigations.

Published: July 2024

This study investigated the effects of exercise- and task-based action observation training on the frontal lobe executive function in patients with stroke.
Thirty stroke patients, divided into two groups (experimental and control), participated in this study. Changes in frontal lobe executive function were measured using the Korean Stroop Test (KST) and the Korean version of the Trail Making Test (K-TMT). After the pre-test, the experimental group underwent occupational therapy and action observation training for a total of 16 sessions. The control group underwent occupational and cognitive rehabilitation. After four weeks, the experimental and control groups were re-tested.
Frontal lobe executive function before and after training in both groups showed statistically significant differences (p<.05), and both parameters (performance time) on the KST and K-TMT decreased after training. The change in frontal lobe executive function in the two groups showed statistically significant differences (p<.05), and the change in the performance time of the KST and K-TMT in the experimental group was greater than that in the control group. Based on the results of this study, we found that exercise- and task-based action observation training positively impacted frontal lobe EF. We hope that the results of this study will help in selecting intervention methods for patients with stroke in clinical settings.

Published: July 2024

The development of environmental education tourism in the area of Citic Seram Energy Limited (CSEL) is a design concept developed from the CSEL Study Tour program, which is an annual Citic Seram Energy Public Relations program sub-field of the Public Education Work Program that has been going on since 2009. This study aims to evaluate CSEL study tour activities as recommendations for developing environmental education tourism in the CSEL area. The method used is a survey method with purposive sampling techniques, namely sampling techniques taken based on certain considerations and objectives. Respondents in this study amounted to 40 people, namely participants in the CSEL study tour in 2013-2019. Data collection techniques use closed-pattern questionnaires with scoring. The processed questionnaire data was then analyzed using IPA (Importance Performance Analysis) to determine the level of performance variables of CSEL study tour activities. The study results show that the perception of study tour participants on the variables of CSEL study tour activities obtained a very high level of importance and satisfaction. This is evidenced by the average importance score obtained, which is 4.68 (very important) and the average satisfaction level score is 4.55 (very satisfied). However, the IPA Diagram shows that the Study Tour and Environmental Conservation Object Variables are in Quadrant I, meaning they are considered important but have satisfaction scores below the expectations of study tour participants. This is a recommendation to increase study tour activities at CSEL in the future.

Post-catheterization Common Femoral Artery Pseudoaneurysm in a Patient with a Mechanical Mitral Valve Requiring Anticoagulation: A Case Report
Authors: Afolasayo Aromiwura , Pooja Gandhi , Muhammad Khan , Jishanth Mattumpuram
Published: July 2024

Iatrogenic femoral pseudoaneurysms are a rare complication of transfemoral vascular access. We present a case of a 65-year-old woman with a mechanical mitral valve requiring warfarin, who developed a femoral pseudoaneurysm four days after cardiac catheterization with femoral access. The patient developed a 17 x 10 x 17 cm rectus sheath hematoma and was treated with ultrasound-guided thrombin injection. Anticoagulation was held for three days while the patient was monitored for further bleeding and later restarted based on shared decision-making, given the risk of valve thrombosis. There are few guidelines regarding the re-initiation of anticoagulation in high-risk bleeding patients with mechanical mitral valves. Non-invasive coronary computed tomography angiography should be considered in patients on anticoagulation who require non-emergent cardiac ischemic evaluation.
Geostatistical concepts for regional pore pressure mapping and prediction
Authors: Adindu Donatus Ogbu  , Kate A. Iwe  , Williams Ozowe  , Augusta Heavens Ikevuje
Published: July 2024

Geostatistical concepts play a pivotal role in regional pore pressure mapping and prediction, offering advanced methodologies to address the spatial variability and uncertainty inherent in subsurface formations. This abstract explores the integration of geostatistical techniques for enhancing the accuracy and reliability of pore pressure predictions over large geological regions. Accurate pore pressure prediction is critical in the oil and gas industry, particularly for optimizing drilling operations and ensuring wellbore stability. Traditional methods, often limited by their reliance on sparse data and simplified models, can struggle to capture the complex spatial patterns of pore pressure distribution. Geostatistics provides a robust framework for addressing these limitations by leveraging spatial data analysis and probabilistic modeling techniques. Key geostatistical methods such as kriging, co-kriging, and stochastic simulation are employed to create high-resolution regional pore pressure maps. Kriging, a geostatistical interpolation technique, allows for the prediction of pore pressure at unsampled locations by utilizing the spatial correlation structure of the available data. Co-kriging extends this approach by incorporating secondary variables, such as seismic attributes and well log data, to improve prediction accuracy in areas with sparse primary data. Stochastic simulation generates multiple realizations of pore pressure distribution, providing a quantifiable measure of uncertainty and enabling risk assessment for drilling operations. The integration of seismic attributes and well log data through geostatistical methods enhances the spatial resolution and reliability of pore pressure models. This combined approach not only captures the heterogeneity of subsurface formations but also accounts for the varying scales of data sources, leading to more accurate and robust predictions. Several case studies illustrate the application of geostatistical techniques in regional pore pressure mapping. These studies highlight the improved accuracy and reduced uncertainty in pore pressure predictions, leading to more informed decision-making in drilling operations and enhanced wellbore stability. In conclusion, geostatistical concepts offer significant advancements in regional pore pressure mapping and prediction. By integrating diverse data sources and employing sophisticated spatial modeling techniques, geostatistics provides a comprehensive approach to addressing the challenges of pore pressure prediction in complex geological settings. This integration ultimately enhances operational safety, efficiency, and economic viability in the oil and gas industry. Continued research and development in geostatistical methods are essential for further improving pore pressure prediction capabilities and addressing emerging challenges in subsurface exploration.

Mitigating Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) is paramount to cohort the infant mortality rate caused by inadequate nutrition. This study examines the effect of enriching maize-based starch gruel "Akamu" with Bambara groundnut flour. Yellow maize was steeped for 72 hours, with the steep water changed every 24 hours. Then, wet milled, its starch separated with a cheesecloth, oven-dried and milled to produce akamu flour. Bambara groundnut was steeped, boiled, dried and milled into flour and used to enrich (10%, 20% and 30%) the akamu. The steep water was evaluated for microbial analysis, while the sample blends were examined for proximate and sensory attributes. The microbes of steep water decreased in coliform count and pH as fermentation progressed. However, Lactobacillus spp and fungi increased from 0.93x103 and 3.63x103 to 8.42x103 and 6.62x103cfu/mL, respectively. Crude protein increased significantly from 8.64 % to 15.54 %, while carbohydrates reduced to 60.20 %. The 100% maize (control) akamu showed the highest acceptability of 6.58, while 30% Bambara groundnut was the least (3.38). Hence, this study helped to establish the nutritional improvement of akamu, a cereal starch gruel with Bambara groundnut aimed at addressing malnutrition.

The study investigates the connection between attachment style and relationship satisfaction. Attachment theory suggests that early experiences with caregiver's shape individuals' attachment styles, influencing their behaviors and emotions in adult relationships. The present study focuses on three main attachment styles close attachment, depend attachment and anxious attachment. Measures of attachment styles (RAAS) and relationship satisfaction (RAS) were completed by a sample of (120) participants both genders combined. The statistical techniques used were correlation and one way ANOVA. The results revealed negative correlation between anxious attachment style and relationship satisfaction. Also, there is no difference in attachment style and relationship satisfaction based on gender. And there is no difference in relationship satisfaction based on work status.

A 20. században változás következett be a katonai stratégia és a haditechnikai kutatás-fejlesztés (a továbbiakban: K+F) viszonyában, mivel a gépi hadviselés megjelenésétől kezdve az új haditechnikai eszközök fejlesztése, a haditechnikai K+F már egyre növekvő mértékben határozta meg a stratégiát. Azonban a haderő technológiai fejlettsége önmagában nem garantálja a stratégiai erőfölény kialakítását: ehhez szinkronizálni kell a modernizáció és az innováció tempóját. Az adaptációs képesség elsajátításával a korábbinál jelentősen gyorsabb haditechnikai K+F-i folyamat a jövő katonai stratégiájának meghatározó elemévé válik. A tanulmány a stratégia és a haditechnikai K+F viszonyának, illetve az adaptációs képesség szerepének vizsgálatára vállalkozik olyan repülőfejlesztési példák alapján, mint az F-35-ös harci repülőgép, a Next Generation Air Dominance modernizációs program, a “digitális sorozatú” „e”-jelzésű repülőgépek fejlesztése, illetve a Collaborative Combat Aircraft drónprogram, továbbá a Replikátor program és a legújabb XQ-58A Valkyrie kísérleti UAV repülőgép.
