The Persona of Jesus in the Gospel According to St. Matthew
Authors: Smith Craig R. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: November 2024

This article examines the persuasive persona of Jesus as depicted in the narrative of St. Matthew as the one that imparts the most moral tone and fullest version of the Sermon on the Mount. After a brief examination of who St. Matthew was and why his narrative was written, this study focuses on the persuasive persona of Jesus. For analytical purposes, this complex persona is divided into three parts. The study then examines Jesus' rhetoric in each of these roles, along with the various audiences he addresses, and how they affected his persona. The final section deals with how the actions and words of Jesus eventually overcame the tensions and dichotomies created by his persona in the narrative.
A House Divided
Authors: Huebner, Jr Thomas M. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: November 2024

In recent years the Southern Baptist Convention has been engaged in a struggle between fundamentalists and moderates. This conflict involves the proper use of certain terminology. Sociologist Lester Kurtz offers a paradigm using the dialectical terms "heresy" and "orthodoxy" to suggest that an institution uses struggles with internal deviance to strengthen and redefine itself. His model has been applied to the Southern Baptist convention to provide a better understanding of the struggle.
“The Habit of Virtue”
Authors: Marrama Oberto ,   Zeta Books
Published: November 2024

In this paper I explain how, for Spinoza, humans can acquire the “habit of virtue” from “fatal necessity” (Ep.58). Spinoza claims that no decision can be made without memory of the thing that one wants to do. However, his rejection of free will also implies that nobody can freely select what to remember. It seems that, as it is not in the power of an individual to freely choose what to remember and do, it is not possible to establish a disposition towards virtuous behavior. To solve this puzzle, I focus on the way in which memory interacts with reason, in Spinoza’s system. I argue that this interaction allows the unfolding in time of reasoning processes. Reasoning can, in turn, be conceived as a kind of habit, which generates and sustains virtuous behavior. First, I clarify what the notion “habit of virtue” signifies for Spinoza. Then, I briefly review his account of memory. Next, I elucidate his conception of reason and its building blocks, “common notions.” On these grounds, I show how reason can be understood as an activity by which mnemonic associations are reconfigured. Finally, I point out how reason relies on memory to preserve itself in time, determining virtuous habits.

Authors: Nausia Pimoulier Amaia
Published: November 2024

LABURPENA
Aro Modernoko lehen bi mendeetan, alargun europarrek hainbat formula izan zituzten ondarea administratzeko: fidantza-sistemak, irabazpidezko erregimenak edo, lan honi dagokionez, gozamen-sistema eta dotearen kudeaketa. Lan honetan aztertuko dira zendu-tako senarraren ondarearen gozamen sistemak eta ezkonsariaren berreskuratzearen inguruan garatu ziren legeak Europan zehar. Zein legek babestu zituzten alargunak Europako lurraldeetan, beren ondasunak edo senar zenduenak kudeatzeko? Babes-sistemarik izan zuten? Eta zer alde egon zen tradizio batzuen eta besteen artean? Galdera horiei erantzuteko, artikulu honek Europako legeria aztertuko du, lurralde horietako alargunek ondare propioa eta familiakoa kudeatzeko izan zituzten formulak ulertzeko, arreta berezia jarriz Pirineotako ohitura juridikoetan eta, bereziki, Nafarroako Erresuman.
RESUMEN
En los dos primeros siglos de la Edad Moderna, las viudas europeas dispusieron de diversas fórmulas para administrar su patrimonio: desde los sistemas fiduiciarios, pasando por los regímenes de gananciales o, en relación con este trabajo, los sistemas de usufructo y la gestión de la dote. En este artículo se analizan los sistemas de usufructo del patrimonio del marido fallecido y las leyes que se desarrollaron a lo largo de Europa en torno a la restitución de la dote. ¿Con qué leyes contaban las viudas en los territorios europeos para gestionar sus bienes o los de sus difuntos maridos? ¿Tuvieron algún sistema de protección? ¿Y qué diferencia hubo entre unas tradiciones y otras? Para responder a estas preguntas, este artículo analizará la legislación europea para entender las fórmulas que tuvieron las viudas de estos territorios para gestionar su patrimonio propio y familiar, con especial atención a las costumbres jurídicas de los Pirineos y, especialmente, al Reino de Navarra.
Los territorios del Pacto Galeuzca ante el espejo irlandés (1916-1936)
Authors: Jimeno Aranguren Roldán
Published: November 2024

Desde el último cuarto del siglo XIX, Cataluña, Euskadi y Galicia mostraron una admiración especial hacia Irlanda. El alzamiento de Pascua de 1916 se erigió en auténtico símbolo para catalanes, vascos y, en menor medida, gallegos. Esta insurrección y los posteriores acontecimientos conducentes hacia la consecución de un Estado libre, estuvieron presentes en los discursos de las campañas en favor de las respectivas autonomías entre 1917 y 1919. El modelo irlandés inspiró el Pacto de la Triple Alianza, suscrito en 1923 por los nacionalistas periféricos. En la Segunda República se forjó un nuevo pacto tripartito, Galeuzca, firmado en 1933, y donde Irlanda ya no ejerció una influencia decisiva. Con la guerra civil, el alineamiento masivo de los irlandeses con el bando nacional, hizo añicos el espejo irlandés.

Movilización y protesta social a partir del Diario de Navarra en la Txantrea (Pamplona/ Iruña, 1970-1989)
Authors: Bueno Delgado Irune
Published: November 2024

En 1970, en el transcurso hacia la democracia, la situación de Navarra le llevó a ser una de las provincias más conflictivas del Estado español. Las calles, barrios y vecinos de la Comarca de Pamplona fueron testigos de la creación de nuevos movimientos sociales (feministas, antinucleares, ecologistas, anti militares o insumisos) y de la difusión de reivindicaciones y protestas para lograr un nuevo modelo sociopolítico y económico (la amnistía, la nación, la democracia o la libertad, entre otros). En esta situación, los acontecimientos en el barrio de la Txantrea fueron regulares hasta ser denominado barrio conflictivo. En un principio, las protestas del barrio estaban relacionadas con el urbanismo y las dotaciones del barrio y se fueron extendiendo a los aspectos sociales, políticos y económicos en forma de manifestaciones y conferencias. Este artículo realiza un análisis cualitativo de las protestas registradas en la Chantrea entre 1970 y 1989, a partir del Diario de Navarra.

Maximizing Laboratory Turnaround Time Efficiency: Workflow Optimization in Resource-Limited Settings
Authors: Febrian Rivaldi , Kumalawati July , Luciana Linny
Published: November 2024

Laboratory Turnaround Time (TAT) is a critical metric in assessing the quality of laboratory services, directly impacting diagnostic speed and patient outcomes. Many laboratories in resource-constrained environments face challenges such as inefficiencies in workflow, resource limitations, and administrative redundancies, which hinder optimal TAT performance. This research aims to optimize laboratory workflow to improve TAT efficiency in a resource-constrained environment, addressing workload variability, inefficient station grouping, and administrative overlap. The research, which was conducted at the Tanah Abang Puskesmas Laboratory from May to July 2022, consisted of three stages: observation and data collection, workflow optimization, and evaluation. Interventions included task reallocation, workflow segmentation, and administrative streamlining. TAT improvement was assessed from the Complete Blood Count (CBC) and Random Blood Glucose (RBG) tests using pre- and post-intervention analysis. The results showed that after optimization, the mean TAT for the CBC test decreased significantly from 36 minutes (SD = 13.4) to 25.6 minutes (SD = 4.1), p-value <0.05. For the RBG test, the TAT increased from 88.6 minutes (SD = 4.6) to 81.1 minutes (SD = 1.4), p-value < 0.01. This intervention demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of lean management strategies in a resource-constrained environment. This research has implications for emphasizing the importance of systematic workflow optimization to improve laboratory efficiency. This research highlights practical and scalable solutions that can be adopted in similar settings globally, and future efforts should focus on integrating advanced technologies such as Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) to further improve accuracy, efficiency and patient outcomes.

Authors: Elya Rohimi Upit , Syafi’i Akhmad , Rofifah Jihanu
Published: November 2024

Community-based health education has emerged as an effective strategy to improve maternal health outcomes, particularly in underserved rural areas with limited access to health services. These programs address critical gaps in prenatal care, birth preparedness, and postnatal health practices, empowering women to make informed decisions about their health and well-being. This research aims to determine the impact of culturally tailored community-based health education programs on maternal health outcomes in rural areas of Southeast Asia, with a focus on improving access to prenatal care, birth readiness, and postnatal care practices. Methods A mixed methods approach was used, integrating quantitative health records analysis with qualitative insights from interviews with participants in targeted rural communities. This dual methodology provided a comprehensive understanding of the program's effectiveness and cultural relevance. Results showed that regular health education sessions significantly improved maternal health outcomes. Communities exposed to these programs reported higher rates of attendance at antenatal check-ups, increased skilled attendance during delivery, and better adherence to postpartum care recommendations. These improvements were instrumental in reducing maternal and newborn mortality and improving overall health in this population. This research implicates the important role of culturally sensitive health education in bridging maternal health disparities in rural areas of Southeast Asia. By integrating local customs and beliefs into health messages, these programs foster community trust and engagement, thereby increasing their acceptance and effectiveness.

Multiple Intelligence in the Teaching and Learning Process: A Study of Howard Gardner's Thought, Challenges and Opportunities
Authors: Ahmad Walela
Published: November 2024

This study explores how the theory of Multiple Intelligence proposed by Howard Gardner can be effectively integrated into the teaching and learning process and the challenges faced in its implementation in various educational contexts. This study analyzes existing literature through a literature review approach to find common patterns, research gaps, and best practices in applying Multiple intelligence theory in the classroom. The literature analyzed includes journal articles, academic books, and research reports focusing on teachers' understanding of multiple intelligences, learning methods based on dual Intelligence, student responses to applying these methods, and varied and inclusive assessment systems. The study results show that although the theory of multiple intelligences has been widely recognized in education, its application still faces various challenges. Teachers' understanding of this theory is often limited, and many have been unable to adapt teaching methods to accommodate students' diverse intelligences optimally. In addition, more infrastructure and resources in schools are also needed to support kinesthetic, musical, and visual-spatial Intelligence. Nonetheless, previous research has shown that students respond positively when the learning methods used match their dominant Intelligence, which can improve their motivation, engagement, and learning outcomes. This literature review concludes that a more varied and inclusive learning approach must accommodate all student intelligences. In addition, Assessment and evaluation in education must be more flexible, considering non-cognitive intelligences that have been ignored in standardized tests. This study recommends increasing teacher training, providing supporting infrastructure, and developing a curriculum more adaptive to the diversity of students' Intelligence. The results of this study make an essential contribution to enriching the understanding of applying the theory of multiple intelligences and offering solutions to the challenges faced in modern education.

Integrating Creative Writing into Medical Education
Authors:   Faculty of Education Kampala International University Uganda, Sauda Nanyonjo
Published: November 2024

This paper examines the integration of creative writing into medical education as a means to foster empathy, self-reflection, and resilience among medical students. While traditional medical curricula focus heavily on scientific knowledge and clinical skills, they often lack training that addresses emotional well-being and patient-centered care. Creative writing, used in conjunction with narrative medicine, offers an avenue for students to explore and express the human dimensions of medical practice.

Examining the Role of the Law in Curbing Money Laundering in Uganda
Authors:   School of Law, Kampala International University, Uganda, Fridah Kyasimire
Published: November 2024

This article examines the role of the law in curbing money laundering in Uganda. The article revealed that money laundering continues to be the most common form of financial crime in Uganda. Notably, the advancement in technology has further facilitated money laundering, particularly with the availability of electronic transfers, online gaming, and virtual casinos. Money launderers find it safer to deposit ‘dirty money’ in other countries to minimize the risk of detection. The availability of private financial institutions, such as high-end financial centres, has also increased the smuggling of cash. On this note, the study calls for regulators to examine the AML framework in light of technological developments that have opened new avenues for money laundering. To achieve this, they should conduct empirical studies to determine the effectiveness of the AML regime as well as assist them in devising new ways to counter money laundering. More importantly, all countries should strive for financial inclusion in order to overcome the challenges associated with implementing AML measures. What is more, achieving an optimal regulatory regime requires the concerned authorities to conduct a cost-benefit analysis of the purported benefits of the regulations against the alternative options. The analysis will assist in eliminating unsuitable and cumbersome legislation. Through conducting a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the cost and benefits of the AML legislation, the regulators can objectively view the impact of the regulations and verify if the benefits outweigh the potential costs to society.

Advances in Immune Biomarkers for Predicting Disease Outcomes and Therapeutic Responses
Authors:   Department of Pharmacy Kampala International University Uganda, Anitah Muhindo
Published: November 2024

Immune biomarkers have become crucial for predicting disease outcomes and guiding therapeutic responses, particularly in conditions like cancer, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases. These biomarkers reflect the immune system’s state activation, suppression, or modulation providing valuable insights into prognosis, treatment efficacy, and potential side effects. With advancements in molecular and cellular technologies such as high-throughput sequencing, single cell analysis, and bioinformatics, the identification and utilization of immune biomarkers have significantly evolved. This review focuses on the classification of immune biomarkers, including cellular, soluble, genetic, epigenetic, and metabolic biomarkers, and their mechanisms in predicting disease progression and therapeutic responses. We highlight the role of immune biomarkers in oncology, where they are essential for immunotherapy response prediction (e.g., PD-L1 expression, tumor mutational burden), and in autoimmune diseases, where they aid in monitoring disease activity and response to treatments like biologics. Moreover, emerging techniques such as single-cell profiling and multiplex assays offer new opportunities for personalized medicine. However, challenges like immune system heterogeneity, dynamic biomarker levels, and assay standardization hinder their clinical application. As research advances, immune biomarkers will increasingly support precision medicine, offering personalized therapies that improve patient outcomes. This review discusses these advances, their clinical implications, and the challenges in integrating immune biomarkers into routine practice, while emphasizing the future potential for further breakthroughs.

The Role of Social Media Campaigns in Promoting HIV Awareness and Prevention Behaviors among College Youths
Authors:   Faculty of Pharmacy Kampala International University Uganda, Sitar Nasira A.
Published: November 2024

HIV remains a critical public health concern among college youths, who are at increased risk due to high-risk behaviors such as unprotected sex, multiple partners, and substance abuse. Social media has emerged as a transformative tool for promoting HIV awareness and prevention behaviors within this demographic. This review explored the role of social media campaigns in increasing HIV awareness, testing rates, and preventive behaviors, such as condom use and uptake of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), among college students. Key strategies included the use of peer influencers, interactive content, and culturally sensitive messaging, which have proven effective in engaging college youths. Case studies from the U.S., South Africa, and Kenya demonstrate that social media campaigns have significantly increased HIV testing rates and reduced stigma. However, challenges such as misinformation, privacy concerns, and campaign sustainability limit their effectiveness. Addressing digital literacy and ensuring privacy are essential for fostering open engagement. This review was conducted using a comprehensive literature analysis of studies and campaigns addressing HIV awareness via social media platforms. Future research should explore the use of artificial intelligence and gamification to create more personalized, sustained interventions. Collaborations between universities, public health agencies, and tech companies can further enhance the impact of these digital campaigns in reducing HIV incidence among college youths.
