From Christian spirituality to eco-friendliness
Authors: Duke Emmanuel Orok
Published: April 2020

Spirituality connotes praxis informed by religious or faith convictions. This can transform the individual and society at large. Christian spirituality is centered on how a person’s relationship with the God of Jesus Christ informs and directs one’s approach to existence and engagement with the world. The ecosystem concerns humanity and relationship with it is invariably influenced by faith or religious informed praxis. The reality of climate change is convincing many people that humankind’s common homeland needs to be treated with care and respect if created beings are to have a congenial habitat now and in the future. This article avers that Christian spirituality can contribute to eco-friendly behavior through re-formation of the behavior of people and emboldening their goodwill as regards the responsibility of all towards the care of the earth. Finally, this research proffers a three-fold model of eco-spirituality - scriptural, self-control, and sacramental approaches to the earth – as a contribution towards stemming the tide of ecological assaults on creation. Textual analysis is the method used in this research.

The growing demand for tailored nonlinearity calls for a structure with unusual phase discontinuity that allows the realization of nonlinear optical chirality, holographic imaging, and nonlinear wavefront control. Transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) monolayers offer giant optical nonlinearity within a few-angstrom thickness, but limitations in optical absorption and domain size impose restriction on wavefront control of nonlinear emissions using classical light sources. In contrast, noble metal-based plasmonic nanosieves support giant field enhancements and precise nonlinear phase control, with hundred-nanometer pixel-level resolution; however, they suffer from intrinsically weak nonlinear susceptibility. Here, we report a multifunctional nonlinear interface by integrating TMDC monolayers with plasmonic nanosieves, yielding drastically different nonlinear functionalities that cannot be accessed by either constituent. Such a hybrid nonlinear interface allows second-harmonic (SH) orbital angular momentum (OAM) generation, beam steering, versatile polarization control, and holograms, with an effective SH nonlinearity

Authors: Rosli Nuraina Nadiah , Mohamed Zainal Siti Rohaida
Published: April 2020

Service recovery performance is highly significant in the hotel sector as it ensures customers’ satisfaction and loyalty. Long and inconsistent working hours and schedules, along with strenuous tasks, are the norm for jobs in the hotel sector and these challenging traits can greatly effect the job performance of hotel employees. Hence it is fundamental to identify the factors affecting their performance of service recovery. In developed countries, a large number of studies have been reported on service recovery performance. However, only a small number of such studies have been undertaken in developing countries. In addition, the number of studies on the effects of supportive management and employees’ commitment to service quality in influencing their service recovery performance is also limited. Hence, the purpose of the current study is to investigate the effects of supportive management and employees’ commitment to service quality towards service recovery performance, amongst 3-star hotels situated in the northern region of Peninsular Malaysia. The data was collected from a total of 104 hotel employees and analysed using the structural equation modeling-partial least square (SEM-PLS) approach. The outcomes unveiled that supportive management and employees’ commitment to service quality has a significant, positive effect on service recovery performance. In conclusion, the outcomes lead to the hotel sector and the existing body of knowledge by verifying the relevance of equity theory in service recovery performance in the hotel sector framework.

Swiftlet farming is an agriculture activity in both commercial building and agriculture land due to the high price of edible bird’s nest (products of swiftlet farming). As of 2017, there are around 60,000 swiftlet farming houses in Malaysia. However, due to inefficiency in the management system, a swiftlet farming house located near to the residential area had brought a lot of complaints. Although these complaints can be reduced through the management of the swiftlet farmers, yet there is no guarantee which will show that there will no problem produce by swiftlet farming houses. Therefore, this study aims to study the legislation regulating the swiftlet farming houses, as well as to identify the side effects of swiftlet farming houses on the local communities. The mixed methodology has been adopted throughout the research process which includes qualitative and quantitative approaches. Research findings were based on the data collected through interviews with several officers in local government, and questionnaires distributed to 100 residents in Bentong who are living within a radius of 150 meters from swiftlet farming houses. Data collected from questionnaires were analyzed by SPSS statistical analysis. Findings indicated that the swiftlet farming houses were regulated by the Street, Drainage and Building Act 1974 and Local Authority Act 1976. Nevertheless, the communities were affected both positively and negatively by the swiftlet farming house. The impact of swiftlet farming houses on local communities shown the need for adoption regulation been adopted on the swiftlet farming houses. In a nutshell, the legislation on swiftlet farming house is essential to confine the swiftlet farming house in order to ensure the growth of this industry while taking care of the communities.

Published: April 2020

The important role of food choices in symbolic, economic and social aspects of life leads to the increased attention given to this area. This role became increasingly important and complicated for international students living in a foreign country for the first time, away from their families, as they are now required to make individual decisions on food choice. Therefore, the food choice strategy as practiced by the international students will receive dedicated attention to this study. This study is set within the academic environment at a local university in Northern Malaysia. Several qualitative methods such as in-depth interviews and observation were used to assess the international students’ food choice strategies and how the local food environment influences their food choice decision. Six international students took part in this study. The findings indicated that most international students resorted to preparing and cooking their own food, mainly to satisfy their cravings and as a cure to homesickness. The food choice strategy also depended on their level of knowledge in food preparation, convenience, and resources available to them. These finding advances the food choice decision process and explicates the food acculturation among international students in Malaysia. Moreover, the findings have direct implications for institutions’ management of international students in assisting and improving their overseas experience.

Lactancia materna en la literatura del siglo XIX. Faustina Sáez de Melgar
Authors: Abradelo de Usera Mª Isabel
Published: April 2020

La lactancia materna se ha considerado en todas las épocas como un vínculo temprano e imprescindible de unión entre la madre y el hijo. Las nodrizas eran, en muchos casos, el sustituto de la madre que se preocupaba más de su vida social y descuidaba su deber hacia el bebé. Además, la autora destaca que esta relación puede poner en peligro la vida del niño y ser la causa de la adquisición de vicios y enfermedades. Para evitar las consecuencias funestas de esta desvinculación de la madre, Faustina Sáez de Melgar (Villamanrique de Tajo 1834 - 1985), como muchas otras autoras en el siglo XIX, hace hincapié en sus artículos periodísticos, así como en sus novelas, en la necesidad de este arraigo inicial. Este artículo revisa la importancia de esta autora dentro de la corriente de escritoras más conservadoras que defienden el papel de la mujer como ángel del hogar. Faustina Sáez de Melgar escribe en revistas femeninas de relevancia en su momento y tanto en ellas como en sus novelas, se hace referencia al papel de la mujer asociado a la crianza y educación personal de los hijos. La lactancia materna, como demuestra lo prolífico de las citas a este respecto, fue una de las preocupaciones que explicita en su producción literaria.

En la mujer la línea de separación entre la adulta joven y la mujer de la tercera edad, es la mujer de mediana edad. El aumento de la esperanza de vida trae aparejado el incremento de mujeres que viven en este período del ciclo vital. La salud sexual requiere de un enfoque positivo y respetuoso de la sexualidad y las relaciones sexuales, Los estudios sobre el climaterio y la menopausia han reorientado la investigación en la última década, hacia aspectos cualitativos con la intención de profundizar la comprensión de las diferencias y a la vez demostrar con datos etnográficos que la experiencia de la mujer en esta etapa del ciclo vital, era captada de manera parcial por sus métodos de comprensión refieren los factores de riesgo que pudieran generar impacto negativo en la función sexual de la mujer en esta etapa de la vida. Todos los cambios biológicos y fisiológicos por los que transita la mujer en la edad mediana son parte de la evolución misma en la biología humana por lo que estos no justifican en sí mismo una perdida brusca y significativa de la actividad sexual.

La comunicación es una habilidad humana que permite relacionarnos; construir nuestra identidad (individual, grupal y colectiva); compartir normas, hábitos y conductas e ir evolucionando personal y socialmente a partir de la creación, desarrollo y adquisición de nuevos conocimientos y habilidades. La comunicación en salud es especial por la asimetría entre el sanitario y el paciente. Su objetivo es curar, prevenir enfermedades o potenciar aptitudes y actitudes saludables. Su base (anamnesis) es muy concreta. El paciente expone su motivo de consulta y el sanitario obtiene datos que orientan la exploración para obtener un diagnóstico y tratamiento. La aparición de herramientas digitales para comunicarnos está modificando esta relación debido a su comodidad e inmediatez, ambos aspectos muy apreciados por la población, y los sanitarios no podemos permanecer ajenos. Las innovaciones tecnológicas se desarrollan a mayor velocidad que los ajustes en materia de ética y legislación ¿Qué ocurre cuando uno de los sujetos del acto de la comunicación no es humano? Se define chatbot como un robot conversacional que integra un sistema experto o inteligencia artificial que permite una conversación con un humano. El desarrollo de chatbots en salud todavía es escaso, pero va a ser una herramienta cada vez más habitual en los próximos años por su gran eficiencia, planteando retos tecnológicos, sociales, éticos, comunicativos y sanitarios. El proyecto Dejal@Bot es el primer ensayo clínico independiente y realizado en Atención Primaria de Salud para ayudar a los pacientes a dejar de fumar asistidos por un chatbot. Ello ha generado problemas de comunicación humano-máquina reflejados en éste artículo.
The Phenomenon of Human Rights from the Perspective of Islam and the West
Authors: Haqyar Abdullah
Published: April 2020

The phenomenon of human rights, in its contemporary sense, is not even ancient in Western thought, and it came from the context of a social and political movement in France, and the most important of the fundamental rights that collected under this title is the right to life, the right to liberty, the right to equality, the right to asylum, the right to freedom of expression, the right to freedom of opinion and religion, women's rights, the right to participate in social and political life, and the right to personal property. It is an established principle that the first condition for the exercise of these rights is their incompatibility with the rights of other human beings and their human rights. The philosophical basis of human rights in the West consists of three important principles: the principle of human dignity, equality and justice. But the difference between human rights in the West and Islam is that "God" is at the center of the Islamic worldview, while in the Western world the "man" is the central one, and man is the measure of all rights. A clearer interpretation of the two types of "God-centered" or "human-centered" ideas in the West is the predominance of human-centeredness and in Islam the predominance of God-centeredness. The philosophical foundations of human rights in Islam are the principle of human dignity, the principle of God-seeking, the principle of human immortality, and the principle of its developmental relation to the set of being.
LEADERSHIP, GOVERNANCE AND NATION BUILDING IN NIGERIA
Authors: Elizabeth Daramola Folashade , Ufot Etuk Akaninyene
Published: April 2020

Since independence, Nigeria has suffered many and different forms of bad leadership and governance. This invariably has had its toll on the nation building process of the country as bad leadership and governance are synonymous with low development and disunity, especially when considering the dissatisfaction that arises from the different quarters of the country shaking the country’s foundation and threatening the unity of the country and disrupting real development and progress in the body polity. There are extant scholarly works on leadership, governance and nation building in Nigeria. However, it appears that the existing works have not been able to raise a louder alarm and raise a red flag against the prevailing corrupt and bad status quo in the political arena of the country which has worked against the nation building effort of the country. This paper intends to raise such alarm while warning the political leaders against impending revolution by patiently giving an account of leadership in Nigeria and the flaws of the Nigerian political leaders as they have had implications on the nation building process of the country. The paper makes use of historical methodology by analyzing data and information derived majorly from secondary sources such as books, journal articles, chapters in books, internet sources, etc. The paper has found out that many factors are responsible for good or bad governance and leadership in Nigeria which in turn have implications on the nation building process of the country. In all the paper has revealed that for there to be good and true governance and leadership in Nigeria that would affect nation building process positively, true and purposeful leaders must emerge to replace the bad ones that have existed over the years, and selfless and personal sacrifice must replace selfishness and greed in the minds of Nigerian political leaders.
Obligatory Will in the Civil Code of Afghanistan: Analysis, Sharia Verification, and Case Solutions
Authors: Maqsood Hidary Sher , Haneef Ziauddin
Published: April 2020

Sharia status of Obligatory will is a controversial issue among Islamic Law's jurisprudents, with two leading views in this regard as follows: 1. According to Imam Abu Hanifa, if the deceased person has left some wealth behind, there will be no will obligatory upon him unless there is some right left on him that there is no way for its fulfillment except through a will. The author of Tafsir-al-Jassas emphasizes on the necessity of obligatory will in this case. 2. A number of jurists and Hadith scholars such as Saeed ibn Musayyab, Hassan Basri, Davood Zahiri, Isaac ibn Rahvaih, Ibn Hazm Zahiri and Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal hold that will is obligatory for some of the relatives who are deprived of the inheritance. In order to provide social interests, and to prevent from hatred and jealousy among the non-heir grandchildren who have lost their father while their grandfather has been alive, so they are deprived of their grandfather's inheritance, the Afghan civil code does not regulate the obligatory will in accordance with Hanafi jurisprudence. But rather, it deems the will obligatory for non-heir relatives, specifically the grandchildren who could inherit from their parents by either quota or residuary, with certain conditions, under articles 2182 to 2188. Accordingly, it states that obligatory will has priority over any other wills.

There is no doubt that heresy is the most dangerous matter confronting not only the Islamic nation, but the humanity as a whole, which deduced grievous consequences to the mentioned nation and to its glorious civilization. Islamic Ummah (nation) was involved with this matter since ancient periods, as it was propounded in the early days of the prophetic mission by some extremists. Then in the period of Ali’s caliphate this matter caused bloodshed among the Muslims. In the contemporary, heresy takes place in specific circumstances generally it becomes the result of oppression and callousness of the devoted Muslim youths when they face bad behaviors and debauchery in their societies. According to scholars, heresy has two sides-legitimate and illegitimate. Heresy causes troubles in the Islamic ideology and opens valves to the debates and as a result, it makes the scholars become clown of everyone even the companions of the prophet (PUH), and the great pillars of Islam are blamed which leads the nation to darkness and illiteracy.

Published: April 2020

Pakistan possesses a huge list of people who are honored as the National heroes because of their relentless and unsurpassed services for protecting and safeguarding the motherland. The sacrifices made by these daring people have ensured the long term existence and prosperity of the country in a world where there are continuous challenges and threats from other power. The majority of these national heroes belong to the Armed Forces of Pakistan as they are always on the front line while shielding the country against foreign enemies. This series of sacrifices started soon after independence in 1947 and is still continued. The major acts of bravery and valor were witnessed at the times of war when the blood of these brave people irrigated the fields of prosperity and wellbeing for the country. There are other heroes too who acted courageously at the times other than war and made histories due to their bold actions in the face of death. This paper presents a brief overview of all the heroes who made sacrifices for the country and made it safe against the internal as well as external intrusions. The lives of these heroes are a real role model for the people of the new generation who want to dedicate their lives and services for the protection and safety of their motherland.

Published: April 2020

In order to investigate the effect of no tillage compared with the conventional cultivation and phosphorus fertilization (100, 200 and 300 kg ha-1) P2O5 to the weeds grown in the sunflower field variety Aqmar, a field trial was conducted at the experimental farm (alternative site of College of Agriculture- University of Baghdad) Abu- Ghraib during the spring and fall seasons of 2015. the experiment was carried –out by using R.C.B.D. with in split-split arrangement. The results revealed that un ploughed and un weedy treatments had the lowest means of the dry weight and seeds yield. The results, also revealed a significant increase in the weed density, weed dry weight, seeds yield and its components with the increasing of phosphorus fertilizer from 100 to 300 kg ha-1 in both seasons. It can be concluded, that growing sunflower with was reduced the weed density and its distribution in the field, and this caused to zero weed competition reduction to the crop and consequently increased the seeds yield and its components. However, increased phosphor fertilizer levels raised weeds density, their dry weight and seed yield of sunflower.
FIELD EMERGENCE AND SEEDLING VIGOUR OF BREAD WHEAT AS INFLUENCED BY METHOD AND LONGEVITY OF STORAGE
Authors: Cheyed S. H.
Published: April 2020

A laboratory experiment was carried out in the Seed Technology Laboratory, Department of Field Crop Sciences, College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences, University of Baghdad during the period 2010-2019. That was to evaluate bread wheat seeds stored in spikes in their field emergence and seedling vigour. Seeds, of stored spikes were compared with naked seeds, treated with cruise and untreated. All three treatments of seeds were grown in the laboratory and traits of days to last day of emergence, days to emerge, % of emergence, and other trails were recorded. Seeds of stored with thein spikes gave better values in days to last day of emergence, days of emergence, percent of emergence, length of plumule, seedling vigour and speed of emergence. The percent of emergence was decreased with increased years of storage, but those stored in their spikes were less affected. It was concluded that storing bread wheat with spikes had better results in field emergence as compared to seeds threshed and stored.

Published: April 2020

This experiment was conducted from 1/7/2016 to 20/12/2018 to study the mineralogical properties of oak forest at 12 locations (Gara, Matin and Brifca) from Dohuk governorate, (Bilah, Malakan and Awagrd) from Hawler Governorate, (Bardanga, Badawan and Chwarta) from Sulaimani Governorate, and (Bakhakon, Hawar and Sartak) from Halabja governorate in Iraqi Kurdistan region. The samples collected from a depth of (0 – 60) cm for laboratory analysis. The study includes qualitative identification of clay minerals by X- ray diffraction data. Peak height was used as a rough indicator of relative abundance of minerals. In general, the expansion of 14°A to ≈ 17°A in ethylene glycol treatment was not detected because the measuring was started from 5θ (degree 5 theta) so the differentiation between Chlorite and Semectite was not done in this treatment. The main results indicated that the swelling chlorite being the dominant mineral in these soils. While the miner clay mineral in that locations were Kaolinite. Mica was identified in all location except of Bilah site, the dominant type of Mica was Muscovite which was obtained from 6 Locations, while Biotite obtained from 5 sites. It appears that Muscovite was recorded from 50% of Forest sites while Biotite recorded at 41.7% of Forest sites and Both Mica mineral type was not recorded from 8.3% of studied Forest soils.

This study was conducted in the laboratories of Soil and water resources Department, College of Agricultural Sciences Engineering, University of Baghdad for the purpose of disclosing the effect of ionic strength from different salt mixtures on the adsorption of Boron in a silty clay loam calcareous soil taken from the prior location of the college of Agriculture in Abu Ghraib, after a quite equilibrium of Boron solution prepared from Boric acid at( 0, 1, 5, 7.5, 10 and 20) μmole B.ml-1 at 298 Kalvin. Three solutions with different ionic strength were used( 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) mole.L-1 of four different salts CaCl2, MgCl2, NaCl and composed salt of the three salts at 3:1:1 ratios respectively. Langmuir single surface line equation was used for better description of the reactions of Boron adsorption in soil.Results showed a significant increase in Boron adsorbed quantity in soil with the increase of the applied Boron. The increase in ionic strength led to a significant increase in adsorbed Boron for all salts with different rates. These different salts showed significant differences in adsorbed quantity of Boron, where CaCl2 treatment was exceeded followed by MgCl2, mixture salt, then NaCl treatments as an averages of the three ionic strengths where it reached (68.95, 65.26, 58.38 and 44.37) μmole B.gm-1 soil respectively and at maximum adsorption capacity (Xm) at (58.26, 55.92, 47.90, 46.17) mg B. Kg-1 soil, while bonding energy to soil particles (K) was  (0.279, 0.244, 0.244 and 0.125) ml μ B for the mentioned salts respectively. In general, soil is considered to have a high maximum adsorption capacity (42.88 mg B.Kg-1 soil) and low bonding energy (0.216 ml μ-1 B) .
