A History of the Presbyterian Church of East Africa in the Eastern Region (1915 to 2022).
Authors: Mwindi Lucy , Nkonge Kagema Dickson , Mucece Kithinji Dr. Caroline
Published: September 2024

The Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA)was established in the Eastern Region in 1915 by the Church of Scotland Mission (CSM). The first missionaries were Africans from Kikuyu and Tumutumu mission stations which had been established in 1901 and 1908 respectively. With the support of the SCM, these African missionaries evangelized their fellow Africans. Although PCEA has been in Eastern region ( Meru and Tharaka Nithi Counties) since 1915, and is one of the dominant denominations in this region with remarkable influence, no systematic study has been done on it. This gave the authors impetus to trace the history of PCEA in the Eastern region with the intention of preserving it. The study’s objective was to trace the history of PCEA in Eastern region from 1915 to 2022. The Descriptive Survey Research design was employed in this study. Data was collected using Questionnaires, oral interviews and document reviews. The Sample size was 438 respondents who included 9 Presbytery Moderators, 53 Church Ministers and 376 church members. From the 376 church members a category of 20 respondents who were identified through snow balling were engaged in oral interviews. The study established that PCEA was established by the CSM in Eastern region at a place called Chogoria in Maara Sub County and since then it has spread to all other areas within the region.  It is now found in many parts of Meru and Tharaka Counties. The study established that in this region, PCEA has been involved in intensive evangelization and most of the mission work in this region is credited to the Africans themselves.

Erosion losses of soil in agricultural fields are difficult to account for due to the need for a differentiated approach to assessing soil losses due to the complex structure of the field surface, and, consequently, due to the need to model the process in each of the areas that differ in the conditions of erosion processes. The article discusses the technology of accounting for erosion losses of soil in dump-collapse furrows and in streams formed by rainfall, in areas of agricultural fields, the soils of which differ in the degree of ploughing. The results of an experiment conducted on a site with gray forest soils ploughed to varying degrees are presented. The plot is located in the Oryol district of the Oryol region. The soil-morphological method using the cesium-137 isotope of Chernobyl origin as a marker was used to determine the volume of washed-off soil delivered to the receiving ravine (3-4 tons/ha per year) from a 50,000 m2 hollow, the territory of which is occupied by weakly plowed and very weakly plowed soils. Layer-by-layer sampling of soil by depth in the thalweg of a stream formed in two plots (with strongly plowed and weakly plowed soils) made it possible to determine the degree of soil erosion in the thalweg of this stream in each of the plots. It was found that both in strongly plowed and weakly plowed plots the intensity of soil loss in the stream formed by rainfall is equally high. Heavily plowed soils lose soil in a stream in a volume 2.3 times greater than the amount of soil washed away in the dump-collapse furrows on the same site and 5.4 times greater than the amount of soil washed away in the dump-collapse furrows on a site with very weakly plowed soils (on the watershed space). It is proposed to take into account the erosive soil losses in streams in the calculation scheme by introducing an increasing coefficient to the data obtained from the soil loss intensity map published earlier. The locations for introducing the coefficient can be determined by overlaying (in a GIS environment) the map on a high-resolution satellite image with dump-collapse furrows. The coordinates of the thalwegs of streams should be determined using GPS or data obtained from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

Authors: Herman Maman , Nur Mulyana
Published: September 2024

Based on previous research, environmental damage caused by waste is due to people's habit of littering. One of the solutions that can be taken is by integrating the Independent Curriculum with the Zero Waste Movement. This study aims to explore the integration of the Zero Waste Movement in the Merdeka Curriculum, with a focus on intra-curricular activities, extracurricular activities, school culture, and strengthening projects for Pancasila Student Profiles. This study uses a literature study approach, by reviewing various relevant sources and analyzing how such integration can be carried out effectively. The results of the study show that integration with the Merdeka Curriculum covers certain subjects that support the understanding and practice of Zero Waste. In extracurricular activities, the Zero Waste Movement can be made a work program by members (Adiwiyata cadres). The Zero Waste Movement can become a school culture if all school members actively participate in the 5R activities (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Refuse, and Rot) repeatedly, scheduled, organized, and can be evaluated. The Zero Waste Movement is part of the project to strengthen the Pancasila Student Profile, with schools holding co-curricular activities in the form of student projects that support the implementation of the movement. In conclusion, the integration of the Zero Waste Movement into the Merdeka Curriculum not only has the potential to increase environmental awareness among students but also to strengthen Pancasila values, making it an integral part of character education and school culture.

Published: September 2024

With cities rapidly advancing technologically, the rise of smart cities brings innovative solutions to urban challenges. However, this integration of technologies within urban infrastructures introduces new cybersecurity risks. This review explores the cybersecurity issues that smart cities face and discusses strategies to address these threats. Smart cities rely on interconnected networks of devices and systems to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and citizen services. Yet, this connectivity also creates a complex environment that is vulnerable to cyberattacks. A key concern is the wide array of IoT devices deployed across smart city infrastructures, which often lack robust security mechanisms, making them susceptible to exploitation by cybercriminals. The interconnected nature of these systems heightens the potential impact of cyberattacks, posing significant risks to critical infrastructure, public safety, and privacy. Threat actors can exploit vulnerabilities in interconnected systems, disrupting essential services, manipulating data, or even causing physical harm. Since smart cities heavily depend on data-driven decision-making, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality is a top priority. To mitigate these risks, various cybersecurity strategies have been proposed and implemented. These include technical solutions, regulatory frameworks, and collaboration among stakeholders. Technical measures like encryption, authentication mechanisms, intrusion detection systems, and secure software development practices are essential. Additionally, strong access controls and network segmentation can limit the scope of potential attacks. Regulatory initiatives also play a crucial role in improving cybersecurity standards and ensuring compliance among stakeholders. Establishing clear guidelines for data protection, privacy rights, and incident response protocols is vital for safeguarding citizens' interests. Collaborative efforts between government agencies, the private sector, academia, and cybersecurity experts are crucial in sharing information and collectively defending against emerging threats. Securing smart cities requires a comprehensive approach that integrates technical measures, regulatory frameworks, and collaborative efforts to create a resilient and secure urban environment for all citizens.
