Authors: Lengmang Joy Nzeb , Dakung Reuel J. , Auta Habila D.
Published: August 2024

Purpose: The objective of this study was to examine the effect of polychronicity on university lecturer productivity. Additionally, the mediating role of job embeddedness in the relationship between polychronicity and productivity was explored.
Research Methodology: This quantitative study adopted a cross-sectional design. A questionnaire was used to collect data from 300 lecturers at the University of Joseph. Multiple regression analysis was performed to test the research hypotheses using the Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS-v23).
Results: Polychronicity and job embeddedness were significantly related to productivity. In addition, this study indicates that embeddedness is a partial mediator between polychronicity and productivity.
Limitations: This study focuses only on lecturers at the university of Jos, rather than all tertiary institutions in the plateau state.  However, due to contextual factors, the findings may not apply entirely to all university lecturers in the country. Hence, the model should be tested in other contexts for its reliability and validity. The study was also limited to a time frame of measurement due to the cross-sectional survey design, since the perceptions and beliefs of lecturers could change over time; thus, a longitudinal study should be considered.
Contribution: This study provides valuable insights for university management to understand employee polychronic time behavior to improve their fit to jobs and organizations, which could help improve productivity.
Novelty: This study explored how job embeddedness mediates the relationship between lecturers’ polychronicity and productivity. Similarly, job embeddedness played a conduit role in sustaining consistent findings between the polychronicity and productivity of lecturers at the University of Joseph.

Echoes of Resistance to European Cultural Domination in Hausa Poetry: A Historical Reconnaisance
Authors: Jabbi Umar Muhammad , Idris Yahaya
Published: August 2024

The Hausa people of Northern Nigeria, along with the other populations inhabiting the Nigerian area, were conquered and subjugated by British colonial forces. Scholars have proposed various reasons to explain why Europeans succeeded in defeating African societies militarily. In the Hausa regions of Northern Nigeria, the people sustained their resistance through non-military means. The intellectual tradition left by the Sokoto Jihadist leaders, particularly the use of poetry to disseminate information among the populace, was utilized. Various methods were employed to collect the necessary instruments for this paper. Manuscripts were obtained from the Waziri Junaidu History and Culture Bureau, Sokoto, as well as extracts from some resistance poems. These poems were composed to attack and dismiss various aspects of European culture as un-Islamic and unacceptable to a Muslim community like the one in Northern Nigeria. The banner of the "jihad of the pen" was raised to condemn anything European as heretical, leading those who subscribed to it toward hellfire in the hereafter. This paper highlights how Hausa poetry was directed toward condemning European cultural values, their romanticized education (Boko), and European cultural domination, which was a key factor in achieving successful political and economic domination.

En los cien años del fallecimiento de Franz Kafka (1883-1924), este artículo estudia el valor de su obra para la tradicional discusión filosófica acerca de la naturaleza de la interpretación literaria. Particularmente, la tesis propuesta, sugiere el valor directriz de sus textos en la producción del sentido (apreciación literaria) de sus obras y, con ello, la peculiar intervención que desde allí se resuelve en el uso no-ficcional de nuestros conceptos. Así, el diseño del primer capítulo de El proceso es propuesto como caso modélico de intervención de una ficción literaria en nuestra construcción cognitiva del mundo.

Las así llamadas Humanidades Públicas exploran hoy aquello que la educación cívica llamó educación liberal. El desarrollo tecnológico requiere de la imaginación y el juicio que las artes cultivan, pero a menudo olvida que la capacidad crítico-creativa es la fuerza que nos humaniza. La teoría de la imagen de Walter Benjamin señala una vía de pensar y escribir que estimula la simultaneidad y lo constelacional en detrimento de la continuidad, creando un lector distraído, alguien “distraído de la distracción por la distracción” (Eliot).

Background: The use of androgen receptor signaling inhibitors, including apalutamide, in combination with androgen deprivation therapy is recommended for the treatment of metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) and non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC).

Objective: To describe real-world treatment patterns and clinical outcomes among patients with mCSPC or nmCRPC who initiated apalutamide in the United States.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study of patients with mCSPC or nmCRPC who initiated apalutamide was conducted using electronic medical record data from US community-based urology practices (Feb. 1, 2017–April 1, 2022). Persistence with apalutamide was reported at 6-, 12-, and 18-months post treatment initiation. Clinical outcomes described up to 24 months after apalutamide initiation using Kaplan-Meier analyses included progression to castration resistance, castration resistance-free survival (CRFS), and metastasis-free survival (MFS). Outcomes were reported separately based on mCSPC or nmCRPC status and race (ie, Black or non-Black).

Results: This study included 589 patients with mCSPC (mean age, 75.9 years) and 406 patients with nmCRPC (mean age, 78.8 years). Using a treatment gap of >90 days, persistence with apalutamide at 12 months remained high for both the mCSPC (94.9%) and nmCRPC (92.7%) cohorts, and results were descriptively similar among Black and non-Black patients, and when a treatment gap of >60 days was considered. In patients with mCSPC, overall progression to castration resistance rates at 12 and 24 months were 20.9% and 33.5%, and overall CRFS rates were 76.2% and 62.0%, respectively. In patients with nmCRPC, overall MFS rates at 12 and 24 months were 89.7% and 75.4%, respectively. Rates of these clinical outcomes were descriptively similar between Black and non-Black patients.

Discussion: While clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of apalutamide, there is limited real-world data describing treatment persistence and clinical outcomes among patients with mCSPC and nmCRPC who initiated apalutamide.

Conclusions: In this real-world study of patients with mCSPC or nmCRPC initiated on apalutamide, treatment persistence was high and apalutamide demonstrated robust real-world effectiveness with respect to progression to castration resistance, CRFS, and MFS, overall and among Black and non-Black patients.
