Perspective Chapter: Challenges to Postnatal Care in Sub-Saharan Africa – A Review
Authors: Yartey Enos Juliana , Dickson Amoako Richard , Kweku Enos Samuel , Hayford Beatrice , Magdalene Tette Edem
Published: January 2024

The postnatal period remains the most at-risk period for the mother-infant dyad. Most maternal and neonatal deaths occur in the immediate postnatal period, contributing to the greatest burden of child mortality. Appropriate care for mothers and newborns during this critical period is essential to improve their survival. However, access to quality care during this period remains a challenge, especially in resource-limited settings. This chapter examines challenges to postnatal care (PNC) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), drawing on existing evidence. A comprehensive review of critically appraised literature was undertaken. The findings indicate suboptimal uptake of PNC, resulting in high maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality in the postnatal period. Challenges to the delivery of quality PNC include poor healthcare infrastructure and access to basic health services, and underlying structural determinants such as widespread poverty, illiteracy, harmful cultural practices, marginalization of women, and inadequate political will by governments. These challenges underscore the need for intensified efforts to improve PNC in the region. Innovative approaches to increasing demand and reaching mothers with PNC services within communities are critically needed to improve access and utilization of PNC in SSA, improve maternal and child health outcomes, and contribute to achieving the sustainable development goals in 2030.

Authors: Siddique Summra , Sana-e-Mustafa  , Aslam Saggo Ali , Amam Memoona
Published: January 2024

The worldwide requirement for food and protein is assumed to rise as a result of the world’s growing human population, which is expected to reach 9 billion people by 2050. Soybean is an outstanding source of unsaturated fatty acids and protein, dietary fiber, and various other compounds with different physiological properties. Soybean crops besides supplying nutrients can be utilized in the prohibition and cure of various medical conditions. Soybean has been named as one of the most eminent sources of highly important nutraceutical chemicals with health-promoting characteristics. Folic acid and isoflavones content made soybean a versatile healthy food crop. Isoflavones are nutraceutical seed components that have an important role in preventing and treating chronic illnesses. Soybean oil contains small amounts of tocopherols having lipophilic antioxidant characteristics that play an important role in delaying the development of cardiovascular and neurological disorders. Soybean intake has also been extensively researched for addressing the nutritional demands of vegetarians, as well as people suffering from chronic disease, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and cancer. Studying genetics, physiological and nutraceutical importance will help in enhancing the quality and quantity of soybean production. This chapter will provide detailed information about soybean nutritional and nutraceutical composition in relation to genetics and physiological properties.

To eat or not to eat? : the curious affair of Western missionaries with Chinese food
Authors: Gibas Piotr
Published: January 2024

What did Western Christian missionaries eat in China and why, for the most part, was it not Chinese food? This study focuses on two groups of missionaries and their foodways - the Portuguese Jesuits (Catholics) based in Macau between the 16th and 17th centuries, and the British and American Protestants in Hong Kong and Shanghai in the 19th and early 20th centuries - and aims to reveal what they ate, what they refused to eat, and why. While examining ideological and cultural factors that modelled the diet of Christian missionaries, this study also analyzes Western ideas, perceptions, and phobias regarding Chinese food. While the Jesuits did have some religious concerns when approaching Chinese cuisine, they, for the most part, embraced it. The Protestants, on the other hand, who arrived much later and during the peak of Western domination in China, acted from a position of power and rejected local food on cultural and ideological grounds as inferior, unhygienic, and potentially poisonous. The early missionaries came to "sell" Christianity and were willing to negotiate their way with Chinese cuisine and culture, "christening" some aspects of them and adopting them as their own. In the age of imperialism, on the other hand, Christian missionaries intended to "civilize" the Chinese by imposing on them both their religious beliefs and their lifestyle, including their foodways.
Christian missionaries' ethnographic accounts of diets and foodways in the area of Kokonor during the late 19th century and early Republican time
Authors: Wallenböck Ute , Zikmundová Veronika
Published: January 2024

The paper deals with the description of food(s) used in religious rituals and in daily life in the Kokonor area from the point of view of Christian missionaries. By looking at Christian missionaries' reports of the late Qing Dynasty and early Republican time, light is shed on selected societies in the Kokonor region – namely the Tibetans and Mongolic groups, such as the Monguors – with an emphasis on these societies' diets and foodways. Food is at the core of everyday life, not speaking about festive occasions. Moreover, food and beverages with their symbolism constitute an important part of religious practice. On the basis of missionary reports, such as those by French Lazarist missionaries, missionaries of the Belgian Congregatio Immaculati Cordis Mariae, and missionaries of the Societas Verbi Divini, besides the mundane description of daily food(s), we also highlight how special ingredients became an essential part of ritual offerings and how food exchange and shared eating was understood to create a bridge between humans and super-mundane beings.
A sign of great penitence : food, fasting and the dilemmas of evangelization in Early Modern Chinese and Japanese missions
Authors: Nakládalová Iveta
Published: January 2024

Since their very first entry into the Ming empire (Jesuits 1580s, Franciscans 1630s), Christian missionaries produced an extensive body of testimonies on this exotic and unknown territory, in which they described Chinese history, philosophy, nature, culture, religions, society, and people, including Chinese food, culinary practices, and habits. This extensive corpus of missionary documents not only discussed "things Chinese" but also interpreted this unknown country for their European readers in a process our current scholarship has deemed as "transcultural translation", during which the foreign culture is explained using familiar European terms. In my article, I focus on one particular aspect of food intake, or rather its voluntary absence: the practices of ecclesiastical fasting. I analyse how the first Jesuit and Franciscan missionaries understood fasting in the particular context of Chinese and Japanese culture and, more importantly, what obstacles and dilemmas they had to face in establishing it in their missionary work. I then relate these doubts and questions to contemporary missionary casuistry and moral theology. Finally, I explore ecclesiastical fasting as a compelling symbol of Christianity's encounter with the alien spiritual and cultural idioms of China (and Japan). I argue that it exemplifies the nature of the inter-cultural and inter-religious confrontation, displaying the inevitable difficulties inherent in rendering the Christian message. As far as the methodology is concerned, I explore some central assumptions of transculturality, transcultural translation, and Otherness, though I also point out the potential flaws and deficiencies of these perspectives when applied to this textual material. However, I do not aim at establishing an unambiguous methodology for dealing with these sources; my intention is rather to emphasize the absence of a reliable methodological approach for Early Modern missionary documents.
Waking up the old boogeymen? : some comments on Donald Wiebe's text
Authors: Václavík David
Published: January 2024

Throughout the existence of religious studies as a science and academic discipline, there have been quite heated debates about its nature and its relationship to other disciplines that are also interested in religion. Among the most passionate are the debates about the relationship between religious studies and theology, which have transformed over the past few decades. From the original emancipatory discussions concerning the very possibility of studying religion scientifically, objectively, and without religious intent, the debates are now more on the level of debates focused on the methods of studying religions, their origins and character, as well as the topics that religious studies as a science should or could address. That these are still lively and heated debates is demonstrated by the recent writings of the eminent theorist of religious studies, the Canadian scholar Donald Wiebe. The purpose of this reflection is to place the discussion initiated by D. Wiebe in a broader context and thus to enable a better understanding even of some of the primary intentions of the text Wiebe has published in this issue of Religio: Revue pro religionistiku as part of this debate.

“Ek sal en jy gaan.” The interaction between the modale auxiliaries sal and gaan
Authors: Wierenga Roné
Published: January 2024

Traditionally sal, wil, moet and kan are regarded as the most common modal auxiliaries in Afrikaans. Recent literature has acknowledged that gaan, a lexical verb denoting ‘movement away from a deictic centre’, has acquired modal functions resembling those of sal in specific contexts. This article aims to explore the development of the grammatical functions of gaan and the interchangeability of sal and gaan as modal auxiliaries within the scope of grammaticalisation theory. A corpus study is undertaken to identify and analyse the nuances in the modal functions for which these auxiliaries compete when expressing modality in order to establish the extent to which gaan has grammaticalised. Similarly, the degree to which gaan and sal can be used as synonyms is explored in the formal register of the Taalkommissie’s newspaper sub-corpus and the informal register of the News Commentary corpus.

Este trabalho analisou a concentração mundial das exportações de pellets entre 2012 e 2018. Utilizou-se os dados das exportações de pellets da Food and Agriculture Organization Of The United Nations – FAO e foram empregados os indicadores: Razão de Concentração[CR(k)], Índice de Hirschman-Herfindal (HHI), Índice de Entropia de Theil (E), Coeficiente de desigualdade de Gini (G) e o Índice de Hall-Tideman (HTI). Dos resultados notou-se que houve crescimento na quantidade de exportações mundial de pellets de madeira, com aumento de 9,71 x106 t, em 2012, para 23,67 x106 t, em 2018 . Observou-se domínio do continente europeu sobre as exportações; em nível de países, foram os principais: Estados Unidos, Canadá e Latvia. Os indicadores apontaram que as exportações de pellets estiveram, em sua maioria, concentradas e desiguais. Os níveis continental e de subcontinentes apresentaram o maior grau de concentração, contudo, a partir de 2016, houve indícios de uma possível desconcentração desse mercado. Todos os métodos utilizados apontam para um processo de desconcentração nas exportações de pellets a partir de 2016, esse processo pode ser intensificado com expansão tecnológica e de políticas de incentivo.

Os baixos valores de germinação encontrados na literatura para Butia eriospatha podem ser reflexo da fisiologia das sementes da espécie, que além de apresentarem dormência podem ter comportamento recalcitrante em relação à secagem e ao armazenamento. Diante disso, objetivou-se com o trabalho classificar as sementes da espécie quanto à tolerância à dessecação, utilizando métodos de secagem rápida e lenta, e definir os teores de água crítico e letal. As sementes foram coletadas em Lages/SC, beneficiadas e imediatamente foi realizado teste de viabilidade (teste de tetrazólio) e determinado o teor de água. As sementes foram submetidas ao protocolo proposto por Hong e Ellis (1996), com adaptações em relação aos métodos de secagem. Foram usadas secagens por métodos rápidos (estufa e sílica gel) e lento (cloreto de magnésio). Foram definidas, ainda, as umidades crítica e letal, por meio de secagem lenta a teores de 18%, 16%, 14%, 12% e 10%. Conclui-se que as sementes de Butia eriospatha são classificadas como recalcitrantes, e os valores de umidade próximos a 14% como crítico e a 10% como letal.

Hardening appears as an interesting strategy to improve the quality of seedlings in forest nurseries, favoring their survival in the field. Thus, the objective of this research was to show the physiological alterations resulting from the application of methyl jasmonate and stem flexion in three stages of growth in Eucalyptus urograndis seedlings. The experiment was carried out in Marechal Cândido Rondon, Paraná, and Eucalyptus urograndis seedlings were used. Treatments consisted of weekly applications of methyl jasmonate (MeJA), daily imposition of stem flexion and a control treatment. Analyzes included quantification of flexural stiffness, lignin content in stems and roots, phenolic compounds in leaves and roots, electrolyte leakage in roots and field survival. In seedlings of Eucalyptus urograndis at 100 days after emergence (DAE) and at the three distances used to evaluate flexural rigidity, the highest averages were observed in seedlings submitted to chemical and mechanical treatments, coinciding with the increase in lignin content in the stem. In the roots, after quantifying the extravasation of electrolytes in Stage I, the means decreased with the application of treatments. In the field phase, there were no statistically significant differences between seedling survival assessments, quantified every 15 days, for a period of 90 days after planting. However, seedlings in Stage I were lost because they were too young and could not tolerate the stressful conditions observed in the field.

The challenge in the future is to strive to improve the service skills of librarians and library staff in all fields by always innovating by animating an entrepreneurial attitude. This research explores the importance of improving the quality of UPT Jambi University Library as an information center in the millennial era. This research aims to build the image of UPT Library Jambi University by improving service quality to become more charismatic and quality. In the context of the industrial revolution 4.0, this research develops an Innovative-Realistic Service Model Based on Entrepreneurship (IRBE) that combines smart technology and entrepreneurial attitudes. By using the Research & Development method and adapting the ASSURE model, this research creates a model that suits the needs of UPT Jambi University Library. Although the initial response from users indicated suboptimal service quality, the IRBE Model received a feasibility percentage of 88.85%, indicating the potential for effective implementation. This model emphasizes reality and adaptability to the actual situation and conditions at Jambi University. However, there is a need to improve entrepreneurial attitudes and skills in its implementation in the future. Furthermore, this study suggests the implementation of the IRBE Model in UPT Library of Jambi University and similar institutions, as well as further research for optimization of the model.
On classes of modified ratio type and regression-cum-ratio type estimators in sample surveys using two auxiliary variables
Authors: Swain A. K. P. C.
Published: January 2024

In this paper generalized classes of modified ratio type and regression-cum-ratio type estimators of the finite population mean of the study variable are suggested in the presence of two auxiliary variables in simple random sampling without replacement when the population means of the auxiliary variables are known in advance. Some special cases of the generalized estimators are compared with respect to their biases and efficiencies both theoretically and with the help of some natural populations.
An empirical analysis of the effectiveness of Wishart and Mojena criteria in cluster analysis
Authors: Mikulec Artur , Kupis-Fijałkowska Aleksandra
Published: January 2024

Mojena and Wishart criteria are methods of selecting the optimal grouping result of agglomerative cluster analysis methods (hierarchical). Two criteria were proposed by Mojena in the 70’s of the 20th century: the upper tail rule and moving average quality control rule, both based on an analysis of the fusion levels of objects in the dendrogram with the aim to determine the cut-off point of it, i.e. to choose the optimal clustering result. The third criterion: tree validation was created by Wishart and evaluates the randomness of the objects clustering in the dendrogram. The purpose of this paper is to present the results of the empirical analysis of the effectiveness of Mojena and Wishart criteria for the number of clusters selection, in comparison to other applicable criteria in this area, including those proposed by: Baker and Hubert, Calinski and Harabasz, Davies and Bouldin, Hubert and Levine. The empirical analysis has been carried out in ClustanGraphics 8 Program and selected packages in R environment for the generated data sets.
Assessment of Indonesian Life Insurance Customer Behavior: Investment Return Potential For Evaluating Market Discipline
Authors: Irewati Titiek
Published: January 2024

Market discipline, which concerns aspects of monitoring and the ability of market participants to play a role in influencing management behavior, is an aspect of the financial industry that has not yet clearly existed in the life insurance industry in Indonesia.  This condition is the background of a study that aims to determine the possibility of market discipline in the life insurance industry in Indonesia through observation of the relationship between the acquisition of investment returns of life insurance companies with the acquisition of new business and termination of contracts or lapse policies.  Testing based on sample data from 27 life insurance companies (Financial Statements published by OJK) resulted that: can accept the hypothesis of a positive correlation (unidirectional) trend between investment returns and new businesses, but cannot accept the hypothesis that there is a negative tendency (not in the same direction) between investment returns and policy lapse.  The market (life insurance consumers) has not been able to express disapproval of the company's performance that is not in accordance with the wishes.
Criminal responsibility of the President of the United States of America
Authors: Mikić Vladimir
Published: January 2024

Observed from a wider historical perspective, the most recent period of the constitutional life of the United States of America risks to be remembered as the one during which the presidential impeachment procedure was used incomparably more often than ever before. This sometimes attracts particular attention to the topic of criminal responsibility of the President, on which the Constitution itself remains silent. At the same time, legislation and jurisprudence seem to have been shying away from addressing this important and rather actual issue. The question whether the presidential immunity protects a sitting or a former president from arrest, trial, or punishment for deeds committed during the presidential term of office thus represents a particularly complex legal puzzler. This is particularly the case since the traditional checks-and-balances system appears to be displaying signs of weakness due to an overtly politicized procedure, notably in the absence of firm legal guidelines or clear theoretical perspectives.

La desnutrición hospitalaria es un problema ampliamente reconocido en el mundo, donde el paciente pierde nutrientes, complica la enfermedad y puede llegar a fallecer. Este estudio descriptivo realizó una revisión sistemática de 40 artículos científicos con el objetivo de exponer los factores de riesgo relacionados con la desnutrición hospitalaria y mortalidad. Se evidencio que la desnutrición hospitalaria está influenciada por factores biológicos, como la edad y características individuales, y por indicadores físicos como estatura baja, pérdida de peso y adiposidad. El contexto social y económico también juega un papel importante al dificultar el acceso a una alimentación adecuada. Además, la depresión y las condiciones emocionales adversas aumentan el riesgo de desnutrición. Es esencial abordar la nutrición durante la hospitalización para prevenir complicaciones y reducir costos asociados.
