Christianity’s Earliest Encounter with the Ancient Techno-Scientific China: Critical Lessons from Jingjiao’s Approach
Authors: Chengwei Feng Jacob
Published: June 2023

This article investigates the earliest Christian encounter with ancient China through the missionaries of the Church of the East in the seventh century. In his monumental Science and Civilisation in China, Joseph Needham argues that China was then a country with one of the world’s most advanced science and technology. It was also a time when Buddhism, Daoism, Confucianism, Manichaeism, and Zoroastrianism contributed to a pluralistic society. The paper attempts to answer questions such as: How did the Christian missionaries, as representatives of a minority religion, engage with techno-scientific China theologically? Were their efforts successful? What critical lessons can we learn from their successes and/or failures? By studying the earliest Christian texts in China, the proposal argues that, being equipped with advanced Greek-Byzantine scientific knowledge and skills in medicine, architecture, astronomy, and mechanics, the Church of the East missionaries boldly engaged with the ancient techno-scientific and pluralistic China through their qi-tological, or creative pneumatological approach, which is closely intertwined with the Chinese metaphysical concept of qi (or Chi, breath, air). The article proposes that such an approach serves as a crucial bridge toward a constructive Chinese theology of science for the pluralistic world of the third millennium.
Varhaiskasvatuksen opettajat tiimijohtajuutta toteuttamassa – Taustatekijöiden vaikutus opettajien kokemuksiin tiimijohtajuudesta
Authors: Ranta Samuli , Kahila Sanni , Heiskanen Henri , Kumpulainen Kata-Riikka
Published: June 2023

Varhaiskasvatuksen opettajien työ niin Suomessa kuin muuallakin maailmassa on alkanut sisältää aikaisempaa enemmän myös johtajuuden tehtäviä. Muutosta selittää pedagogiikan painottuminen varhaiskasvatuksen perustehtävässä sekä lisääntynyt tutkimustieto johtajuuden merkityksestä varhaiskasvatuksen laadulle. Suomessa varhaiskasvatuksen opettajilla on vastuu tiimiensä pedagogisesta toiminnasta, minkä vuoksi opettajilta odotetaan myös taitoa johtaa tiimejään. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan, missä määrin päiväkodin koko sekä opettajan sukupuoli, ikä ja koulutustausta vaikuttavat varhaiskasvatuksen opettajien kokemuksiin tiimijohtajuudesta. Tutkimuksen aineisto kerättiin Morgesonin ja kollegoiden (2010) laatimaa tiimijohtajuuden kyselylomaketta mukailevalla sähköisellä kyselylomakkeella. Kyselyyn vastasi yhteensä 1 221 varhaiskasvatuksen opettajan tehtävässä työskentelevää henkilöä. Lisäksi tutkimuksessa analysoidaan edellä mainittujen tekijöiden yhteyttä toisiinsa. Tutkimuksemme mukaan koulutustaustan, iän, työkokemuksen ja päiväkodin koon vaikutus opettajien tiimijohtajuuden kokemuksiin on efektikokoja tulkiten keskisuurta. Työkokemuksella on efektiltään suurin merkitys siihen, miten opettajat kokevat toiminnan kehittämisen ja tiimityön organisoinnin toteutuvan päiväkodeissa.
En torno a la variación de las unidades fraseológicas del derecho con el término "pena" en el corpus CRIMO
Authors: Hourani-Martín Dunia , Tabares Plasencia Encarnación
Published: June 2023

En el presente trabajo ofrecemos un análisis de la variación motivada geográficamente de las unidades fraseológicas especializadas del derecho en español (UFED) compuestas por un verbo y un término. Para ello, hemos analizado un corpus especializado en el dominio jurídico de la criminalidad organizada y que recoge textos de todos los países hispánicos. Seguidamente, hemos extraído todas las construcciones verbonominales (CVN) que incorporan el núcleo terminológico pena y las hemos distribuido en función del valor semántico al que se asocian. Por último, hemos establecido su comportamiento formal y semántico y hemos determinado la posible variación diatópica entre los ordenamientos jurídicos. El análisis ha puesto de manifiesto tres conclusiones principales: (i) las unidades más frecuentes son aquellas en las que pena actúa como objeto directo de los verbos; (ii) la variación más representada es la coocurrente, motivada por razones estilísticas, y (iii) la variación concurrente es siempre una variación controlada.

İNSAN HAKLARININ EVRENSELLİĞİ VE KÜLTÜREL GÖRECELİLİK TARTIŞMASI BAĞLAMINDA TAKDİR MARJI DOKTRİNİ
Authors: GÖKTAŞ Emine Betül
Published: June 2023

İnsan hakları, ulusal ve uluslararası belgelerde düzenlenip yazılı hukuk alanına dahil olduğundan beri birçok tartışmayı beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu tartışmalardan bir tanesi, herkes için geçerli bir insan hakları anlayışı olup olamayacağı üzeredir. Tartışmanın bir kutbu insan haklarının evrensel olduğunu savunurken, buna zıt olan kutup farklı kültürler için farklı insan hakları anlayışlarından bahsetmenin mümkün olabileceği üzerinde söylemlerini yoğunlaştırmıştır. Günümüzde insan haklarının herkes için geçerli olan evrensel haklar olduğu anlayışı genel kabul görmektedir. Bununla birlikte kültürel çeşitliliği koruma, kültürlere saygı gibi çeşitli gerekçelerle farklı kültürlerde yer alan uygulamalara da uluslararası hukuk tarafından zaman zaman müsaade edilmiştir. Bunun örneklerini Avrupa İnsan Hakları Mahkemesi içtihatlarında görmek mümkündür. Mahkeme önüne gelen dava konusu uygulamanın Sözleşmeye aykırılığına ilişkin tespitte bulunurken söz konusu uygulamayı o kültürün kendi bağıntısı içerisinde değerlendirme yoluna gitmektedir. Bunu yaparken kendi oluşturduğu takdir marjı doktrinine dayanan Mahkeme, birtakım eleştirilere de maruz kalmıştır. Bu çalışmada; insan haklarının evrenselliği ve kültürel görecelilik tartışması bağlamında takdir marjı doktrininin nasıl değerlendirildiği, bu kapsamda doktrine nasıl eleştiriler getirildiği ele alınmış ve nihayetinde takdir marjı doktrininin insan haklarının evrenselliği anlayışıyla uyumu noktasında ortaya çıkan problemler değerlendirilmiştir.

Bu araştırma öğretmenlerin okullardaki çocuk hakları eğitimine ilişkin tutumlarını ortaya çıkarma amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışma betimsel tarama modelinde olup 2022-2023 eğitim yılında Denizli il genelindeki 494 öğretmenden kolay ulaşılabilir örneklem yöntemiyle elde edilen verilerden oluşturulmuştur. Veriler Öztürk ve Doğanay (2017) çalışmasında geliştirilen likert tipindeki “Çocuk Hakları Eğitimine İlişkin Tutum Ölçeği” kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Analizlderde SPSS istatistik programı kullanılmışır. Analizlerde frekans, ortalama, t testi ve Anova analizleri kullanılmıştır. Öğretmenlerin çocuk hakları eğitimine yönelik tutumlarıyla ilgili en yüksek ortalama “Çocuk hakları eğitiminin etkisini artırmak için ailelerin bilinçlendirilmesi gerektiğine inanıyorum” maddesine “Katılıyorum” düzeyinde iken en düşük katılım “Okullarda çocukların karar alma süreçlerinde yer alması için yapılan düzenlemeleri doğru bulmuyorum” maddesinde “Kararsızım” düzeyinde ölçülmüştür. Öğretmenlerin çocuk hakları eğitimi alt boyutlarıyla ilgili olarak bütün boyutlarda ve genel ortalama “Katılıyorum” seviyesindedir. Bu olumlu tutum öğretmenlerin çocuk hakları eğitimi konusunda alt boyutlarda da yüksek düzeyde hassasiyet gösterdiklerini ortaya koymaktadır. Öğretmenlerin çocuk hakları eğitimi alt boyutlarına ilişkin tutumlarının yaş, okulun bulunduğu çevrenin sosyo ekonomik düzeyi ve kaynaştırma öğrencisi olma durumlarına göre farklılık göstermemiş ancak cinsiyet, kıdem ve çocuk hakları eğitimi ile ilgili eğitim almaya göre ise farklılık göstermiştir. Öğretmenlerin çocuk hakları eğitimi alt boyutlarıyla ilgili tutumlarının cinsiyete göre çocuk hakları eğitimini uygulamaya yönelik kadınların tutumlarının erkeklerden daha yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır. Öğretmenlerin çocuk hakları eğitimiyle ilgili olarak bilgi edinme ve yaygınlaştırma ile genel tutumlarının kıdemlerine göre kıdemi az olanlar lehine daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Çocuk hakları eğitimi alt boyutlarıyla ilgili öğretmen tutumlarının çocuk hakları eğitimi ile ilgili eğitim alma durumuna göre çocuk hakları eğitimi konusunda bilgi edinme, uygulama ve genel genel tutumlarının çocuk hakları eğitimi alan öğretmenler lehine yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Öğretmenlerin çocuk haklarıyla ilgili eğitim almalarının teşvik edilmesi, okulların öğrenci hakları temelli özelliklerini arttırmaya yönelik çalışmaların yaygınlaştırılması ve toplumun çocuk haklarıyla ilgili bilgilendirilmesi için kamu spotları gibi çeşitli çalışmaların yapılması önerilmiştir.

Published: June 2023

Let me first thank Dr. Kalton for his amazing historical review of the development
of survey sampling from its origin, contrasting purposive sampling, until now, where
some elements of purposive sampling in terms of web or big data seem to supersede the
well-elaborated theory of survey statistics. Shall the message be that we do not need
any sampling courses at universities anymore, that official statistics should turn to
modelling using data with unknown data generating processes, or actually even be
substituted by (commercial) data krakens? Hardly so! Graham Kalton emphasises a modern
thinking about the use of these new data sources which may also have some advantages and
he urges future research on data integration methods using (very) different kinds of
data while strongly taking quality aspects into account.

icolaie et al. (2010) have advanced a vertical model as the latest continuous time
competing risks model. The main objective of this article is to re-cast this model as a
nonparametric model for analysis of discrete time competing risks data. Davis and
Lawrance (1989) have advanced a cause-specific-hazard driven method for summarizing
discrete time data nonparametrically. The secondary objective of this article is to
compare the proposed model to this model. We pay particular attention to the estimates
for the cause-specific-hazards and the cumulative incidence functions as well as their
respective standard errors.

Small area estimation methods have become a widely used tool to provide accurate
estimates for regional indicators such as poverty measures. Recent research has provided
evidence that spatial modelling still can improve the precision of regional and local
estimates. In this paper, we provide an intrinsic spatial autocorrelation model and
prove the propriety of the posterior under a flat p rior. F urther, we show using the
SAIPE poverty data that the gain in efficiency using a spatial model can be essentially
important in the presence of a lack of strong auxiliary variables.

This study empirically investigates the relationship between economic freedom and
financial development in EU countries. Using panel data covering the years 2000–2017 and
employing fixed effects, random effects, and the generalised method of moments (GMM),
the paper examines the effect of economic freedom on financial development. The research
results demonstrate that greater economic freedom is conducive to financial development
in the EU. These findings remain robust to the use of an alternative index of economic
freedom. The results imply that policies which promote economic freedom are likely to
raise the level of a country’s financial development.

In biomedical research, challenges to working with multiple events are often
observed while dealing with time-to-event data. Studies on prolonged survival duration
are prone to having numerous possibilities. In studies on prolonged survival, patients
might die of other causes. Sometimes in the survival studies, patients experienced some
events (e.g. cancer relapse) before dying within the study period. In this context, the
semi-competing risks framework was found useful. Similarly, the prolonged duration of
follow-up studies is also affected by censored observation, especially interval
censoring, and right censoring. Some conventional approaches work with time-to-event
data, like the Cox-proportional hazard model. However, the accelerated failure time
(AFT) model is more effective than the Cox model because it overcomes the
proportionality hazard assumption. We also observed covariates impacting the
time-to-event data measured as the categorical format. No established method currently
exists for fitting an AFT model that incorporates categorical covariates, multiple
events, and censored observations simultaneously. This work is dedicated to overcoming
the existing challenges by the applications of R programming and data illustration. We
arrived at a conclusion that the developed methods are suitable to run and easy to
implement in R software. The selection of covariates in the AFT model can be evaluated
using model selection criteria such as the Deviance Information Criteria (DIC) and
Log-pseudo marginal likelihood (LPML). Various extensions of the AFT model, such as
AFT-DPM and AFT-LN, have been demonstrated. The final model was selected based on
minimum DIC values and larger LPML values.

In this paper, the geometric distribution parameter is estimated under a type-I
censoring scheme by means of the Bayesian estimation approach. The Beta and Kumaraswamy
informative priors, as well as five loss functions are used for this purpose.
Expressions of Bayes estimators and Bayes risks are derived under the Squared Error Loss
Function (SELF), the Quadratic Loss Function (QLF), the Precautionary Loss Function
(PLF), the Simple Asymmetric Precautionary Loss Function (SAPLF), and the DeGroot Loss
Function (DLF) using the two aforementioned priors. The prior densities are obtained
through prior predictive distributions. Simulation studies are carried out to make
comparisons using Bayes risks. Finally, a real-life data example is used to verify the
model’s efficiency.

The inheritance of memory on the second world war in the Serbian artistic music: The compositions of Lazar Đorđević and the reactualization of the subject of suffering/holocaust in the 21st century
Authors: Vujošević Nevena , Lazarević-Kocić Anja
Published: June 2023

The reactualization of the subject of suffering in the Second World War/Holocaust is recognized as a key moment of memory through time which becomes the standard of our collective memory and our identity. In the musicological and theoretical-analytical context of consideration of the current issues, a kind of psychological "replika" was identified through three significant artistic achievements of Lazar Đorđević (1992), a representative of the new Serbian generation of composers, who is aware of the history of the Serbian people and their suffering, but also the layers of their emotional code in those moments, meticulously build's and sympathizes deeply. Unique works in us, IV Postcards from 1994 (2018), The 21st October (2020) and Letters from Semlin (2022), through authentic images, primordialy experienced through the vertical dimension of man in time, and on the traces of the original sources, the inscriptions of the victims just before the moment of shooting, reflects a deep spectrum of the psychological shapes of the man of that time. The exceptional art of working with timbre, as a primary element of the composer's musical expression in the mentioned works, is meticulously invoked and psychological though out profoundly. Looking deeply into the code of a man, his needs, desires, suffering, pain, fears, but also love, heroism, forgiveness, Đorđević represents the bridge - to the otherness carried over time, but also to the sameness of his vertical, spiritual dimension. With his creative poetics interwoven with the feature of a "man-seeker", he reminds us of the importance of the memory, the significance of what is revived and relived. He calls to not forgetting the suffering of our people in the Second World War/Holocaust, underlying every "cry" of a brave people, heroes fallen into eternity, as our cross, symbol and strength to know to whom and where we belong, and where we are going next.

Published: June 2023

Se caracterizó socio ambientalmente un grupo de unidades de producción agropecuaria (UPAs) localizadas en las provincias de Pastaza y Napo de la Amazonía Ecuatoriana, mediante una distribución de frecuencias relativas. Se seleccionaron 30 UPAs y se usó una metodología participativa que incorpora un conjunto de indicadores (25) dentro de la dimensión ambiental y socio-cultural. Desde el punto de vista ambiental las unidades de producción, se caracterizan por tener un tamaño promedio entre 21 a 50 has, con un 60% de la unidades encuestadas que aplican prácticas agroecológicas combinadas con diferentes actividades y cultivos, lo que refleja el potencial productivo de la zona y podría servir de modelo para el resto de las fincas. La calidad de los suelos está marcada por texturas finas arcillosas, con estructura granular en el horizonte superficial, alto contenido de materia orgánica, alta acidez, baja fertilidad, lo cual afecta la disponibilidad de nutrientes y limita su uso. Las características socioculturales son muy variadas a nivel de finca, sin embargo la evaluación sugiere que existen elementos claves que pueden afectar la continuidad y sustentabilidad del proceso productivo tales como: el número de personas incorporadas en el sistema, la generación de relevo, el envejecimiento de la población, la baja capacidad de gestión en términos de no llevar registros, el bajo apoyo institucional y la baja participación en espacios de gobernanza.
Long COVID: The Silent Pandemic
Authors: Draud Sarah , Prado Josue , Hass Trevor , Ramirez Julio
Published: June 2023

Long COVID, a chronic condition affecting individuals who have recovered from the acute phase of COVID-19, has become a significant global challenge. This review article provides an overview of the latest literature on Long COVID, focusing on its epidemiology, natural history, definitions, clinical manifestations, pathophysiology, management, and prevention. Approximately 10 to 20% of individuals experience a wide range of persistent symptoms lasting for months to years. The lack of diagnostic tests and a standardized definition for Long COVID has led to underdiagnosis and disregard of the condition, turning it into a silent pandemic. The burden on public health and society is substantial, impacting individuals and communities across demographics and causing economic losses and socioeconomic issues. It affects people of all ages, including those without pre-existing conditions. Complex pathophysiology involves factors such as viral persistence, immune system abnormalities, dysregulated inflammatory response, dysbiosis, reactivation of other viruses, and microthrombi formation. These mechanisms contribute to the diverse range of varied multisystemic symptoms. Accurate diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial, as the condition can significantly impair quality of life. Management is based on a symptom-based approach and requires multidisciplinary care involving healthcare professionals from various specialties. Further research is needed to raise awareness, understand the natural history and prognosis, and develop effective treatment guidelines for this emerging healthcare burden. Staying informed on Long COVID research is vital for the efficient management of this public health crisis.

O conhecimento do comportamento hidrológico de bacias hidrográficas é importante para responder questões que abarcam o planejamento e a gestão dos recursos hídricos. A determinação de vazões em rios e canais é essencial para conhecer a disponibilidade hídrica superficial, com a finalidade de atendimento dos usos múltiplos da água. Diversos instrumentos e métodos podem ser utilizados para a execução de campanhas de medição de vazão. Neste trabalho realizou-se uma análise comparativa de quatro métodos de medição - flutuador, molinete velocimétrico, método acústico e método químico (método do traçador conservativo) – através da aferição de vazão em dois trechos de escoamentos superficiais, com intuito de verificar o comportamento e confiabilidade dos métodos aos casos aplicados. Dentre as formas de medição utilizadas, considera-se que o método do traçador químico apresentou maior confiabilidade nas duas situações estudadas. São relatadas as potencialidades e limitações para todos os métodos nos trechos em que eles foram aplicados. A consideração de características geométricas e hidráulicas das seções transversais como largura, profundidade e velocidade do escoamento, são considerados fatores importantes para a escolha dos métodos que podem ser aplicados com maior confiança para a determinação da vazão em condições de campo.
AVALIAÇÃO ECONÔMICA DE ABASTECIMENTO DE ÁGUA PARA INDÚSTRIAS LOCALIZADAS NA REGIÃO METROPOLITANA DO RIO DE JANEIRO (RMRJ)
Authors: Rettore da Silva Paranhos Gustavo , Zanella Luciano
Published: June 2023

Indústrias situadas na Região Metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro (RMRJ), em operação e em fase de instalação, encontram-se em situação eminente de escassez hídrica concorrendo com o abastecimento humano em relação à captação de águas doces superficiais. Estas indústrias devem optar por alternativas de adução de água que promovam o equilíbrio entre disponibilidade e demanda, assim como a conservação dos recursos hídricos no estado. A pesquisa apresentada desenvolve uma avaliação técnico-econômica de alternativas de abastecimento de água para indústrias localizadas na RMRJ, principalmente nas proximidades da Baia de Guanabara. São avaliadas alternativas de abastecimento a partir da captação de água bruta superficial, dessalinização de água do mar e reúso de água tratada em Estações de Tratamento de Efluentes (ETEs) da RMRJ, que podem ser implementadas em conjunto ou de forma independente. Os cenários de oferta de água para as alternativas de abastecimento consideram vazões entre 1.000 m3/h (0,28 m3/s) até 2.000 m3/h (0,56 m3/s). Os cálculos financeiros foram realizados sobre despesas de capital (CAPEX) e despesas operacionais (OPEX) das alternativas de abastecimento acrescidas de tributos, considerando o tempo de depreciação de ativos de 20 anos (período de concessão) e a amortização de diferido de 5 anos. Os resultados indicam a proposta de  reúso de águas provenientes de ETEs municipais para finalidades industriais como a alternativa mais atrativa, do ponto de vista econômico, regulatório e ambiental.

Effects of Rehmannia 14 on Hormone Levels and Renal Function in Geriatric and Kidney Yang Deficiency Mice
Authors: Ma Aituan , Qian Xufeng , Wang Haiyan , Li Shuo
Published: June 2023

The objective of this study was to investigate Rehmannia 14 (R14), a Chinese herbal medicine, reported to be effective in treating endocrine and renal function disorders in geriatric and Kidney Yang Deficiency cases. Using a geriatric and Kidney Yang Deficiency mouse model (GKDM) with a control group, 60 male Kunming mice expressing clinical signs of GKDM (weight loss, lethargy, cool limbs, decreased rectal temperature) were treated with R14 to investigate its impact on serum concentrations of triiodothyronine (T3), tetraiodothyronine (T4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), cortisol (COR), creatinine (CRE), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and the content of nitric oxide (NO) in renal homogenates. Study results demonstrated that GKDM model mice had decreased body weight/rectal temperatures and lethargy while R14 treated animals had improved weight gains/normal rectal temperature and improved activity levels. The GKDM mice also had decreased T3/T4/ACTH with increased TSH while the R14 dosed animals had increased T3/T4/ACTH and decreased TSH levels. In addition, R14 exerted protective effects on the kidneys with decreased NO, CRE and BUN concentrations. Study findings concluded that R14 improved serum concentrations of key endocrine indicators of disorders of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and has a protective effect on renal function in a GKDM mouse model. The findings from this study provide a basis for the clinical use of R14 in the treatment of endocrine and renal disorders associated with aging and Kidney Yang/Qi Deficiency in animals.

Human immune system is complex and differs significantly from that of model animals. To investigate the human immune system, particularly the local mucosal immune cells that respond to infectious diseases, the humanized mouse model serves as an invaluable tool. In this study, we established a humanized immune system (HIS) mouse model by transplanting CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from human umbilical cord blood into hIL7/hIL15 NDG mice. We successfully developed conventional human immune cells, including T cells, B cells, NK cells, monocytes, DCs and resident innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) in HIS mice. Following influenza A virus (IAV) infection, human pulmonary immune cells were activated and accumulated in the lungs. Single-cell sequencing data revealed that these immune cells functioned effectively in defending against viral infection by expressing cytotoxic cytokines and upregulating interferon-induced genes (ISGs). Furthermore, we identified human-specific genes that participated in regulating mucosal immune responses. Overall, hIL7/hIL15 HIS mice provide a useful model for studying human local immune responses against IAV in vivo.
Opening CRediT: A new approach to authorship and attribution within academia
Authors: Twumasi Ricardo
Published: June 2023

The traditional approach to academic authorship; listing individuals by their level of contribution and putting the most senior author at the end can lack transparency, introduce unfairness, and reinforces traditional power dynamics in academic seniority. This paper proposes we do away with the traditional approach to academic authorship and author order and replace it with a system of contributors or ‘credits’ with clearly acknowledged (often multiple) roles, which provides a more detailed and comprehensive way of recognising the different types of contributions that authors make to a publication. The idea behind including this contributors list inspired by the system used in movie credits. However, merely listing each contributor as an author is overly simplistic and reinforces unequal power dynamics within academia. This paper aims to contribute to the debate surrounding the role of authorship, power and contribution within academic work. And the role that radical journals like Stolen Tools Tools (a journal that aims to give voice to the marginalised and unrepresented) have in decolonising the traditional conventions that we have adopted in academia which support the privileged at the expense of diverse individuals who tend to wield less power.  Opening CRediT on papers may be a tool in building a fairer and more transparent approach to authorship by providing more transparency and standardisation in recognition of contributions.
The Moderation Effect of Head Teachers’ Leadership Styles in Directing Mentorship Pragrammes Towards Teacher Job Performance: The Case of Secondary Schools in Tororo District, Eastern Uganda

Published: June 2023

This research has been rooted in the Bandura’s (1986) Social Cognitive Theory of learning. The paper investigated how teacher mentorship relates to teachers’ job performance when moderated by head teachers’ management styles. From a pragmatic realist viewpoint, a cross-sectional survey design with concurrent mixed method approach was used in data collection, analysis and interpretation. A questionnaire comprising of Teacher mentorship experience scale, Teacher job performance scale and Leadership behaviour scale was filled by 286 teachers while four school administrators were interviewed. The results revealed a moderate level of mentorship (M = 35.95, SD = 6.78, Min =19, Max=50) and a moderate level of teachers’ job performance (M = 41.58, SD = 5.04, Min=13, Max = 50). Nonetheless, there was a positive significant correlation (r = .398, p < .001) between mentorship and teacher job performance. A multiple regression analysis using Process plugin in SPSS generated a significant moderation effect of head teacher leadership styles on the link between teacher mentorship and teacher job performance within the Johnson-Neyman region of significance. Autocratic leadership increased the effect of mentorship on job performance (B= -0.02, p =.05) by head teachers more than any other styles. This implies that head teachers have to be more directing and instructing in order for their teachers to perform their duties effectively.
