Rereading Psalm 121 in an African (Yoruba) context
Authors:   Department of Religions, History & Heritage Studies, Kwara State University, Malete, Kwara State, Nigeria., Awojobi Peter Olanrewaju
Published: December 2021

This article is an attempt to reread Psalm 121 in an African context with reference to the culture of the Yoruba people of Nigeria. The study considers certain Eurocentric interpretation of the Book of Psalms which Africans maintained do not meet their social, physical and spiritual aspirations. An African interpretation of the Bible is an interpretation which adopts the African world view. In this study, Psalm 121 is interpreted in the light of help and protection which are the greatest needs of the African people. The study adopts the African Biblical Hermeneutics. The central focus of this approach is to provide a useful lens to reread biblical text in African context. It was discovered that as early as the third century Christian era, worshippers in the temple chanted, and sung on a regular basis from Psalms. The Psalms were popular in the fourth century with the rise of monasticism as monks chanted the psalms as daily prayer not only for personal guidance but also for spiritual warfare against demons. The ancient Israelites who were the original authors of the Psalter wrote from their experiences. Many biblical scholars and members of African indigenous churches in Nigeria, see the Psalter as divine and potent words. Psalm 121 can be used to invoke help and protection on those who desire them in the same way as words of incantation (ogede) are used among the Yoruba ethnic group of Nigeria. It is hoped that the Psalms and the entire Bible will be properly contextualized to address the challenges that Africans are currently facing.

Since independence, Nigeria has been experiencing high level of violence, crime and criminality in all geo-political zones, posing great threat to national security, and social, political and economic development. Such disturbing phenomena include the political crises of the First Republic; the religious crisis of the 1980s; the ethno-religious crises of the post-1999 era; the activities of Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) and Bakassi boys; the Niger-Delta crisis; to the insurgency in the North-Eastern region and armed-herdsmen violence, particularly in the Middle-Belt region. All these phenomena have created disturbing security challenges to the peoples of the immediate environments of the incidents, and the whole nation, thus affecting nation-building. This paper adopts a multi-disciplinary approach, examines the security challenges posed by ethno-religious conflicts, particularly in Taraba State of Nigeria. The research interrogates the challenges posed by the phenomena mentioned, and finds, among other things, that in the past 60 years, the incidents have significantly contributed to the slow pace of social, political and economic developments in the area. The paper suggests, among other things, tolerance and responsive governance, to curtail envisaged security challenges facing Taraba State, and Nigeria in general.

Every society in a quest for nationhood undergoes series of stages, which are inevitable and necessary for its growth. Nigeria’s pursuit for legitimate growth and development has been hampered by certain hindrances which have brought the nation to disrepute and slow development. This paper explores, from a linguistic perspective, the varying thematic issues that have impeded the growth of the nation. The paper x-rays the thematic nuances as discussed in Jide Balogun’s ‘The Desert in the River’ using stylistic tools. Five poems were purposively selected from the collection. The selection is done across the five parts of the collection. The study found that, the theme of corruption and bad leadership pervade the texts and the duo stood as the hydra-headed monster to the growth and development of the nation. Also, the theme of power and unity are evident in the text. The author posits that unless power is appropriately dispensed and unity is fostered among different divides, development is a mirage. The study therefore concludes that, beyond the frantic quest for industrialisation, proper attention must be devoted to dealing with corruption in the land, bad leadership, creating avenue for unity and ensuring proper dissemination of power and justice.

Authors: Sthapit Arhan
Published: December 2021

In managing the rapidly changing environment context, human resources and talents are probably the only organisational resource that managers can resort to, in their pursuit of sustainably steering the organisation through the turbulent course, including the one of the COVID-19 pandemic now. Managers should push forward organisational manoeuvres to manage their human resource development (HRD) function by embodying strategic factors in a commensurate manner. It requires them to strategize the way they train and develop their human resources and talents; that is, the process of strategic HRD. Therefore, this paper reviewed the past literature to identify the strategic HRD factors, which are the organisational manoeuvres essential to manage HRD strategically. Based on the critical deliberations on the previous literature, it infers that there are seven key strategic factors that strategize HRD in an organisation. It helps build an agile, resilient organisation that can sustain in both normal and crisis times.

Authors: Shrestha Shankar Kumar , Shrestha Bikash
Published: December 2021

Service marketing focuses on service encounter stimuli, such as the servicescape, employee interactions, the core service, and other customers. The studies that have focused on other customers’ role as a social component of the service environment have led to the development of a comprehensive measure of other customer perception. Thus, based on the social impact theory, attraction theory and the theory of uniqueness, the study analysed the effect of Other Customer Perception (OCP), Need for Uniqueness (NFU and their interaction on service experience and revisit intention by employing a scenario-based quasi-experimental research design with a sample of 127 job holder postgraduate management students using convenient sampling technique. The study employed MANOVA GLM model and concludes that while the impact of consumers’ perceptions of other customers’ similarity does influence service experience of the customers, demonstrating that not only the restaurant itself, but also the entities in the surrounding network such as other customers have an impact on service experience and their revisit intention. Therefore, other customer effect, which works as a basis for service experience and revisit intention, should not be neglected when designing the surroundings in restaurant settings.

Chapter Four: Archaic and Classical Ceramics of Eleon
Authors: Van Damme Trevor , Lupack Susan
Published: December 2021

After a long gap in the ceramic record following the twelfth century bc, ceramic materials dating from the eighth through the fourth century bc are documented in our excavations. This contribution presents for the first time the key deposits of Archaic and Classical material identified on the acropolis of Eleon from 2011 to 2014, including the evidence for the dating of the polygonal wall, the only monumental construction of this period identified so far at the site. Attention is also drawn to the large quantities of votive materials recovered from the ramped entryway and other areas of the site, which appear to attest to one or more cults operating on the acropolis during the sixth through the fourth century bc, if not earlier.
Chapter Six: The Arcuate Polygonal-Block Wall at Eleon
Authors: Marsh Ben , Jones Janet
Published: December 2021

The dominant archaeological feature visible at Eleon is a Late Archaic polygonal- block wall that extends 85 m southward from the excavated site along the eastern edge of the plateau, constructed from finely fitted panels of local grey limestone averaging 2 tons in weight. The wall is arcuate for most of its length and finished on each end with an angular bastion. Every part has lost at least one course, and the wall is completely leveled or buried for most of its length, but was originally at least four courses high, standing 4.5 m above its base. The north end of the wall underwent a low-quality ancient reconstruction. The techniques used to shape and shift the stone are considered, and the wall is compared with other stonework at the site. Further study will allow more thorough analysis of the wall’s archaeological context and its relationship with other Archaic and Classical constructions.

Ménétrier disease (MD) is characterized by enlarged gastric folds with associated protein losing gastropathy. In children it is a rare and self-limited cause of protein losing gastropathy. We report a case of a 2-year-old male who presented with prolonged, refractory emesis and peripheral edema. Workup revealed severe hypoalbuminemia, hypoproteinemia, iron deficiency anemia, and high stool alpha-1 antitrypsin. Hepatic protein synthesis was normal with no urinary protein loss. Endoscopy showed antrum sparing, severe erosive gastritis in body and fundus, characteristic of MD. Histologic examination displayed inflammation with eosinophilia, foveolar hyperplasia, atrophic oxyntic epithelium, and rare CMV inclusions. Patient received antiviral therapy, intravenous albumin, diuretic and was discharged on high protein diet. Follow-up revealed clinical recovery, with endoscopy and histology showing normal gastric mucosa throughout the stomach. It is important to remain vigilant of this condition in pediatric population and to include it in the differential diagnosis in cases of protein losing gastroenteropathy.

Regulatory support and legal grounds for the coercion by the law enforcement agencies of Ukraine
Authors: Paida Yuriy
Published: December 2021

The issue of coercion by law enforcement agencies significantly affects the rights and interests of an individual as a person, despite the fact that this person is most often the offender. At the same time, both international law and the national law of any state recognize the possibility of applying coercive measures to ensure order and security. Thus, the principle of proportionality requires the legal definition of the authority powers to interfere in the rights, freedoms and interests of the objects of influence and the proportionate exercise of these powers depending on the specific circumstances of the case, which would ensure the necessary balance between government, community, legal entities and individual citizens. The article analyzes the national legislation that is directly related to the legal framework and legal grounds for the use of coercion by law enforcement agencies of Ukraine. It also covers international legal acts ratified in the prescribed order, and international documents on diplomatic relations and immunities of diplomatic agents with regard to respect for human rights in the use of coercion by the relevant authorities: whether physical influence (force), or special means, or, moreover, firearms, which is most often related to the harming a citizen. Special attention is paid to the peculiarities of departmental regulation of this issue. It is noted that the legal grounds for the application of coercive measures regulated at the level of laws are not a departmental prerogative power of any ministry or other executive body. In addition to the above, it is emphasized that law enforcement officers must take into account the norms and principles of professional conduct in the performance of law enforcement functions in their activities. Thus, the legal grounds for the use of coercion by law enforcement agencies are widespread in regulations of various legal force. At the same time, the grounds and conditions for the application of coercive measures are regulated only by acts issued by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, namely, by laws
Excluding Forced Heirs due to a Lack of Personal Relationship with the Deceased in Spain in a Comparative Perspective
Authors: Garcia-Teruel Rosa M.
Published: December 2021

Forced heirship is considered a limit on the freedom of will of the deceased in favour of intergenerational solidarity. It involves that some relatives, usually descendants, have the right to claim a share of the deceased’s assets or estate. Although recognized in most EU jurisdictions, authors discuss about the need to regulate this institution taking into account new family models and societal changes. In fact, this debate has been intensified due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which showed that several elders died alone in nursing homes without family support, and part of their assets shall be reserved to their relatives. This paper analyses the legal framework of forced heirship in Spain and examines to which extent it is possible to exclude this right due to a lack of personal relationship with the beneficiaries in view of comparative models.
Gloss to the Resolution of the Supreme Court of 26 February 2021, III CZP 24/20 [on the Interpretation of the Will]
Authors: Zdanikowski Paweł Marcin
Published: December 2021

The resolution with gloss concerns the rules for interpreting a will. The Supreme Court stated in it that an interpretation of a will should be performed taking into account all circumstances, including those external to the will and using all means of evidence. The Supreme Court decided that it is the court adjudicating in the case for inheritance acquisition, assessing the evidence gathered in a specific case, that should assess whether it is actually possible to establish the will of the testator. The author of the gloss accepts the thesis of the resolution, but argues with the position of the Supreme Court contained in its justification that only the rules for evidence assessment constitute an instrument allowing one to establish the testator’s will. In the opinion of the author of the gloss the functional interpretation of Art. 948 of the Polish Civil Code (k.c.) indicates limits to the interpretation of the will. After all this is a process that renders it possible to determine the testator’s will in a manner that does not raise any doubts. Therefore, if the interpretation of the will of such fails to secure such a degree of certainty, even despite a positive assessment of the evidence gathered in the case, the court should state that the inheritance has been acquired under the Act.

Male circumcision and HIV prevention: Directions for future research
Authors: van Dam Johannes , Anastasi Marie Christine
Published: December 2021

A growing body of scientific publications suggests that male circumcision is associated with reduced risk of HIV infection in sub-Saharan Africa. Thus, male circumcision is being considered as a potential intervention in the prevention of sexually transmitted HIV infection, even though this procedure has profound cultural implications and carries the risk of complications, and its benefits are realized only many years later. This report presents the findings of a meeting of international researchers, organized by the Horizons Project to explore the programmatic and research implications of the association between male circumcision and HIV prevention. Most studies on male circumcision and HIV infection have been done in Africa, and the discussion focuses largely on this continent. The conclusions and recommendations from the meeting, however, may be relevant for other parts of the world. Based on the discussion, participants determined that there is considerable evidence supporting a protective effect of male circumcision on HIV infection in men in sub-Saharan Africa. Participants also concluded that there are many unknowns.
FRONTIERS capacity building: An overview
Authors: Foreit James R.
Published: December 2021

The Population Council’s Frontiers in Reproductive Health Program is a cooperative agreement with USAID to improve family planning and reproductive health service delivery through operations research (OR). Frontiers builds on more than 20 years of research to improve family planning service delivery programs. A major goal of Frontiers is to transfer skills in OR so that public and private agencies in developing countries can conduct OR and apply research findings to reproductive health programs and policies. OR addresses problems in operational effectiveness, access, quality, and efficiency by investigating facets of programs that managers can control and change. As concluded in this overview report, Frontiers seeks to institutionalize capacity building by increasing the number of service delivery organizations that use OR and increasing the number of research organizations capable of conducting and teaching OR. Investment in capacity building will ensure that OR will make a continuing, significant contribution to reproductive health and family planning programs and policies.

Literasi teknologi dari para pelaku UKM semakin meningkat dan perubahan dalam ekonomi global memiliki dampak yang sangat besar bagi UKM, dimana perubahan tersebut menawarkan peluang baru untuk berkembang, yaitu terbukanya ekspansi untuk melakukan internasionalisasi. Proses internasionalisasi bukanlah hal yang mudah karena ada permasalahan yang dihadapi meliputi pengetahuan yang kurang tentang pasar karena kurangnya pengalaman dan informasi untuk memperkenalkan produk UKM ke pasar internasional. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengkaji pengaruh human capital pada proses internasionalisasi UKM di Provinsi Bali serta menganalisis peran orientasi kewirausahaan dalam memoderasi pengaruh kedua variabel tersebut dengan teknik analisis yang digunakan adalah Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan human capital berpengaruh signifikan terhadap proses internasionalisasi UKM ekspor di Provinsi Bali. Orientasi kewirausahaan ditemukan berpengaruh signifikan terhadap proses internasionalisasi UKM ekspor namun tidak berperan sebagai variabel pemoderasi dari pengaruh human capital pada proses internasionalisasi UKM ekspor di Provinsi Bali. Para pelaku UKM harus memiliki tingkat human capital (kemampuan, keahlian, pengalaman, pengetahuan) yang tinggi agar proses internasionalisasi dilakukan sesuai target, mampu mengambil risiko dengan baik dan proaktif melakukan penjajagan terkait dengan perkembangan usahanya, serta mampu melihat berbagai peluang ataupun ancaman yang dihadapi ketika UKM melakukan proses internasionalisasi.
