With the development of technology and the change of life style, organisations are seeking more effectiveness and efficient way to practice the public relations. How public relation works in the organisations has been studies extensively. This essay will focus on how public relation exist and operate in the organisation from three different aspects which are traditional media, social media and stakeholder engagement which link one-way or two-way Grunig and Hunt’s models. The one-way or two-way Grunig and Hunt’s models will be explained in the essay as well. Moreover, the essay will take M&M’s chocolate, Brisbane City Council and Manila Water Company as three examples to testify how the three approaches working in the public relations in society. Finally, it is recommended that the organisations are better to choose the suitable method basing on the organisations’ strategy and which ethical framework they applied.
Research on the Decision-Making Mechanism of Human Capital Investment in the Behavior of “Returning to School for a Master Degree”—An Interview Analysis Based on Grounded Theory
Authors: Huang Fang , Wu Jian
Published: October 2024

Currently, it has become increasingly common for individuals engaged in social work to pursue a Master’s degree as part of their professional development. Following the qualitative research approach of grounded theory, this study conducted in-depth interviews with six graduate students majoring in education from local universities and performed a three-level coding analysis on the collected data. The motivations behind social candidates’ pursuit of a Master’s degree are primarily driven by material needs, spiritual aspirations, and other factors. Drawing upon the human capital theory, this study examines the investment decision-making behavior of this particular cohort. The decision mechanism underlying this behavior is as follows: the anticipated income level associated with a master’s degree surpasses the current income level; the expected return on investment outweighs the investment cost; while human capital investment in graduate school entails minimal risk, its return rate exceeds that of other investments; substantial hidden benefits are derived from investing in human capital. The research findings can serve as a valuable reference for the reform and adjustment of graduate enrollment and training in higher education institutions.

Aim: to evaluate the possibility of the MMR-system status, microsatellite instability (MSI) usage in the differential diagnosis of gastric mucosa dysplasia, determination of the gastric adenocarcinoma development risk.

   Material and methods. The study included gastric mucosa specimens of 75 patients: 25 with high-grade dysplasia, 25 with low-grade dysplasia, 25 were indefinite for dysplasia. Gastrobiopsy specimens were examined histologically, immunohistochemically using mouse monoclonal antibodies (Diagnostic BioSystems, USA) to the MMR system proteins: MLH-1 (clone G168-15, dilution 1:50), MSH2 (clone DBM15.82, dilution 1:100), MSH6 (clone 44, dilution 1:50), PMS2 (clone A16-4, ready to use). MSI was studied with multiplex PCR evaluation of DNA microsatellites (NR-21, NR-24, NR-27, BAT-25, BAT-26) from paraffin sections, their analysis with capillary electrophoresis. The obtained data were processed with the Statistica 10.0 (StatSoft, USA), presented using descriptive, analytical statistics. VOSviewer (1.6.20) was used to visualize the bibliometric analysis.

   Results. MMR-deficient cases were found in low (2.8 %) and high-grade (2.8 %) dysplasia with the immunohistochemical evaluation of MMR-system proteins in gastric mucosa specimens. In all indefinite for dysplasia cases MMR-system proteins remained unaffected. Three MSI-positive cases (6.5 %) were detected by PCR with two low-grade dysplasia, one high-grade dysplasia cases. All identified cases were also immunohistochemically MSI-positive.

   Conclusion. Determination of MSI can be used as an auxiliary study within a panel of biomarkers aimed to support the decision-making of a pathologist in the alternative of “indefinite for dysplasia” or “definite dysplasia — obligate precancer”.

Aim: to study the metabolic activity of the intestinal microbiota depending on the stage of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD).

   Materials and methods. The study included 85 patients with MAFLD (27 patients with steatosis without steatohepatitis and fibrosis, 42 patients with steatohepatitis, 16 patients with cirrhosis as an outcome of MAFLD, Child — Pugh class A–B) and 20 healthy people who formed the control group. The level and spectrum of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) were determined by gas-liquid chromatography.

   Results. It was found that patients with MAFLD at the stage of steatosis and cirrhosis of the liver have unidirectional changes in the metabolic activity of the intestinal microbiota. We established a decrease in the absolute concentrations of SCFA — their total content, the level of acetate, propionate, butyrate, a decrease in the level of isoacids. The SCFA profiles showed an increase in the proportion of acetate and a decrease in propionate and butyrate. Moreover, changes in the named parameters of SCFAs are aggravated with progression to liver cirrhosis. At the stage of steatohepatitis, we identified two subgroups of patients with different levels of metabolic activity of the microbiota. Patients whose microbiota metabolism for SCFA production was high had correspondingly elevated SCFA levels. And, on the contrary, patients in whom the metabolic activity of the microbiota was reduced were characterized by a steady decrease in SCFAs and disease progression to liver cirrhosis. In the study, we showed an inverse correlation between the calculated prognostic indices of NFS and FIB-4, elastography values with the total level of SCFA, the level of acetate, propionate, butyrate. Thus, a decrease in the content of SCFA for patients with MAFLD can be considered as a prognostic marker of an unfavorable course of liver disease.

Authors: Reinholdt Sørensen Rasmus , Timm Signe , Rasmussen Lasse Enkebølle , Brasen Claus Lohman , Varnum Claus
Published: October 2024

Background and purpose: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) affects more than 60% of the patients having a hip or knee arthroplasty due to osteoarthritis. As it is debated whether metabolic syndrome increases the risk of complications, we aimed to investigate the length of stay (LOS) and risk of readmission at 30 and 90 days after surgery, including causes of readmission.Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study of 2,901 patients undergoing hip and knee arthroplasty from May 2017 to November 2019. Physical examination, blood samples, and medical history from national registries determined the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome from the International Diabetes Federation definition. We used multivariate linear regression to investigate differences in LOS according to MetS, and binary regression to investigate the risk and causes of readmission within 30 and 90 days, including 95% confidence intervals (CI) and P values.Results: Patients with MetS showed a slightly longer LOS (0.20 days, CI 0.10–0.29) and had an increased risk of readmission within 90 days (adjusted relative risk [RR] 1.2, CI 1.0–1.4; P = 0.02), but not within 30 days (adjusted RR 1.1, CI 0.9–1.4; P = 0.3) after surgery. Cardiovascular disease was the dominant cause of readmission.Conclusion: Although patients with MetS do not experience a clinically relevant longer LOS after hip and knee arthroplasty, they have an increased risk of 90-day readmission mainly due to cardiovascular complications, which should be considered when planning surgical care in this group of patients.
Mesolithic Ulna “daggers” from Dąbki Site 9 – on the track of their function
Authors: Orłowska Justyna
Published: October 2024

So-called “bone daggers” made from ulna bones of Cervidae are commonly found at Late Mesolithic hunter-gatherer sites of the western circum-Baltic area. The main objective of this paper is to showcase the results of the technological and functional analysis conducted on three tools found at the Dąbki 9 site in northern Poland. During the traceological analysis, technological traces facilitated the reconstruction of the chaîne opératoire of the tools’ production process. The use-wear also points to the probable function of the artefacts. The results presented in this work are discussed in the context of other artefacts of a similar type known from various prehistoric contexts.
Combining experiment and ethnoarchaeology to differentiate the surface conditions of animal hides
Authors: Beyries Sylvie , De Stefanis Cristina , Gauvrit Roux Eugénie
Published: October 2024

There is a wide range of technical processes involved in working animal skins, depending on the environment, the size of the skins and the purpose of the work (clothing, tent covers, etc.). The archaeological tools and their shape, weight, and use-wear are often the only evidence of these technical processes. Their understanding requires an experimental approach combined with ethnoarchaeological data to establish protocols allowing processes compatible with the type of skin to be treated and carry out the correct gestures at each stage of the process. This study, dedicated to the processing of very large hides, presents the experimental replication of the production process of moose hides observed in Canada (B.C.) in an Athaspakan group. The functional analysis of the experimental tools allows identifying different wear patterns corresponding to different surface conditions of animal hides; each of them having particular implications for the interpretation of the archaeological record.
On the issue of functional use of pics during the Early Neolithic: a case study from the LBK site in Wólka Wojnowska (S Poland)
Authors: Szeliga Marcin , Osipowicz Grzegorz , Bosiak Mariusz
Published: October 2024

Picks are extremely rare artefacts associated with flint inventories of the Linear Band Pottery culture (hereinafter: LBK). Previously, only three such artefacts attributed to this culture have been found in the drainage basins of the Vistula and Oder Rivers. The contexts of discovery of picks dated to slightly later times indicated that they should be linked with mining activities of early agricultural societies. The presented collection from Wólka Wojnowska is one of the most numerous typological series of LBK picks found at a single site within the entire range of the LBK. The results of traceological and chemical SEM-EDX analyses of residues preserved on their surfaces indicate that these tools were used in processing hematite in order to produce ochre. The obtained data considerably broaden the scope of the functions of picks used during the Early Neolithic and allow us to question the interpretation that they were only employed in mining for siliceous materials.
Old find – new information. Hoard of long flint blades from Wąworków (Sandomierz Upland, Poland)
Authors: Mączyński Piotr
Published: October 2024

Deposits of flint blades have been found in southern Poland for many years. These finds, although rare, due to their nature have aroused the curiosity of many researchers. One such assemblage, consisting of seven macrolithic chocolate flint blades, was discovered in 1958 in the village of Wąworków, Opatów District. In order to understand the reasons for depositing these lithics in the ground and to uncover all the secrets they conceal, the artefacts were subjected to multidimensional research. In the first phase of the studies aimed at analysing and recording the assemblage, a detailed description of the specimens was made, and raw material, technological, and functional analyses were carried out. Then, on the basis of the collected data, an attempt was made to establishtheir age, cultural provenance, and final interpretation.
Shifting techniques in perforating animal teeth and metal objects. Some examples from Early Bronze Age contexts
Authors: Baron Justyna , Nowak Kamil
Published: October 2024

This paper addresses shifting techniques between manufacturing two types of raw materials. On the one hand, they are copper-based alloys that were processed in the Early Bronze Age (c. 2300-1600 BCE) only by a few craftspersons, and, on the other hand, well-known and commonly processed animal hard tissues. At least one technique we observed on the metal objects originates from those of working with animal hard tissues, while the other one can be found in already published evidence. Application of techniques known from bone and antler processing in metallurgy indicates cross-craft communication and learning processes.
A contribution to research on the knapped lithic assemblage from the Late Neolithic site of Altheim in Lower Bavaria
Authors: Pelisiak Andrzej , Saile Thomas , Dębiec Maciej
Published: October 2024

The lithic artefacts from Altheim, being regarded as essential for the interpretation of the site, have for a verylong time attracted attention. Here we concentrate on the discoveries made during the excavation of sections of ditches in 2013-2020. Certain earlier observations were confirmed by the latest excavations, namely the high proportion of arrowheads among the flaked stone tools. A large number of the arrowheads were burnt. Many of them have broken tips, and all the analysed arrowheads with broken tips bear diagnostic impact fractures: stepterminating bending fractures or spin-off fractures specifically in the shape of small fractures on the edge between one surface of the arrowhead and the surface of the fracture of the tip. These suggest an angle of impact of the arrow into a hard surface of about 60°-70°. Broken and burnt arrowheads were found in the solid context of the structures. The context suggest that these arrowheads can be connected with conflict.
Flint arrowhead from a hoard in Papowo Biskupie, Chełmno district: comments on the discussion on the sacral function of lithic artefacts from the turn of the Iron Age
Authors: Gackowski Jacek
Published: October 2024

The article presents a flint arrowhead from Papowo Biskupie, Chełmno district. Hoards from this place and many loose metal finds are interpreted as votive offerings deposited in the water. Numerous objects made in bronze are accompanied by abundant non-cremated human bones unearthed there. The archaeological site is dated back to a period from about 1000 to 400 BC. A traceological analysis of the flint arrowhead showed that it had never been used, and that it found its way into one of the hoards on purpose as an element of a set of many artefacts that were deposited with in a birch bark container. Therefore, it probably served a purpose similar to that attributed to flint artefacts discovered in Lusatian-culture cremation graves. The provenance of the arrowhead can be determined in the context of Scythian-style ornaments that were reaching Kuyavia and Chełmno Land, as they have been found more and more often in the Lusatian culture in the area of Tarnobrzeg.
Science, Conservation and Society: What if we Unite them in Entomology?
Authors: Ocampo Marcela Sánchez
Published: October 2024

Light pollution generated by human structures attracts insects or even modifies their behaviour, which causes many specimens to appear dead on windows, lights and in corridors. Carrying out insect sampling in private homes, within the framework of research projects, can facilitate communication between researchers and environmental authorities with the community, allowing not only very efficient sampling for taxonomic characterisation but also a clear detection of the needs for environmental education in a specific area.

Diurnal Response of CO2 Radiative Cooling to September 7-9, 2017 Storm
Authors: Bag Tikemani
Published: October 2024

The solar and magnetospheric energy deposition into Earth’s high latitude region modulates the magnetosphere-ionospherethermosphere system during geomagnetic storm periods. One of the impacts of geomagnetic storm is the significant thermosphere temperature increment. This temperature increase is regulated by radiative cooling emissions via CO2 at 15 µm and NO 5.3 µm. We utilized CO2 15 µm radiative emissions observations by SABER (Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry) instrument onboard NASA’s TIMED (Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics Dynamics) satellite, to investigate the diurnal response during September 7-9, 2017 storm. The volume emission rate of CO2 emission, in the altitude of 100-140 km, is integrated vertically to estimate cooling flux. The geomagnetic storm induced a significant enhancement in CO2 emission across all latitudes and altitudes considered. While the storm typically has stronger impacts on high latitudes, the response in CO2 emission was notably stronger in mid and low latitude regions both during day and night. The nighttime value is generally lower, with a faster response time, as compared to the day time counterpart. Further a strong hemispheric asymmetry is observed both during day and night. This study highlights a complex interplay of solar and magnetospheric influences on the diurnal variation of Earth's upper atmosphere.
A Simplistic Approach to the Study of Two-Point Correlation Function in Galaxy Clusters
Authors: Wakeel Khanday Abdul
Published: October 2024

We developed the functional form of the two-point correlation function under the approximation of fixed particle number density. We solved the quasi-linear partial differential equation (PDE) through the method of characteristics to obtain the parametric solution for the canonical ensemble. We attempted many functional forms and concluded that the functional form should be such that the two-point correlation function should go to zero as the value of system temperature increases or the separation between the galaxies becomes large. Also we studied the graphical behavior of the developed two-point correlation function for large values of temperature T and spatial separation r. The behavior of the two-point function was also studied from the temperature measurement of clusters in the red-shift range of 0.023-0.546.

Harnessing Technology for Sustainable Agriculture: A Case Study from Bihar, India
Authors: Sinha Jitendra Kumar , AK Sinha
Published: October 2024

The "End of Hunger" initiative, a key Sustainable Development Goal endorsed by the United Nations in 2015, aims to promote sustainable agriculture by doubling the productivity and income of small-scale food producers by 2030. Despite significant technological advancements over the past seven decades, their indiscriminate use has led to ecological consequences, raising sustainability concerns. This study addresses the need for technological developments that enhance agricultural stability and productivity through environmental modeling and risk management algorithms. Focusing on Bihar, a predominantly agricultural Indian state with low industrialization, the study aims to improve rural livelihoods by maximizing agricultural income through effective risk management strategies. It examines the impact of various agricultural technologies, including mechanization, chemical technology, management practices, and policy measures, on agricultural GDP. Using the CobbDouglas production function, the study analyzes a 29-year dataset with one endogenous variable (agricultural value-added) and nine exogenous variables, ensuring data stationarity with the Augmented Dickey-Fuller Test and processing the data using R programming. Findings indicate that technological advancements, such as multi-cropping, agroforestry, new seed varieties, and improved resource management, have significantly enhanced agricultural productivity in Bihar. Capital investment and mechanization substantially contribute to agricultural value-added, though they require periodic reinforcement. Sustainable practices are essential, as extensive use of chemical fertilizers and irrigation may have adverse effects. The study concludes that sustained investment in agricultural technologies, timely capital stock reinforcement, and promotion of sustainable practices are crucial for driving agricultural growth in Bihar. Additionally, effective credit management and recognizing forests' environmental benefits can further support sustainable development.

Medellín – um caso exitoso de Avaliação Ambiental Estratégica?
Authors: Keppke Rosane Segantin , Gallardo Amarilis Lucia Casteli Figueiredo
Published: October 2024

O artigo faz uma apreciação crítica sobre conceituados projetos, planos e programas urbanos de Medellín, Colômbia, com destaque aos Projetos Urbanos Integrados, ao programa Unidos Pela Água e ao Plano de Ordenamento Territorial 2015-2030, este último autodeclarado como Urbanismo Ecológico. A pergunta central é se estas metodologias e iniciativas foram precedidas tacitamente de Avaliação Ambiental Estratégica, ainda que os formuladores e tomadores de decisão das políticas públicas não tenham evocado nominalmente este instrumento. Os achados desta reflexão constatam que não, embora a cidade tenha se aproximado muito da AAE, e que independentemente desse enquadramento metodológico, o principal desafio a ser enfrentado é dar continuidade aos planos, programas e projetos sob a pressão de novas demandas e novos passivos socioambientais.
Expression and Purification of the Full Length and N-Terminal Truncated Variants of Insect CYP6Z2 in the Cytosol of Escherichia Coli for Potential 3D Experimental Studies
Authors: Kusimo Michael Olugbenga , Hama Soor Taib Ahmed , Adedeji Ahmed Adebowale
Published: October 2024

Cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s) offer innate resistance defence for malaria vectors against the insecticides permitted by WHO to be used in vector control tools. P450s can detoxify broad substrates and simultaneously metabolise them, thus the availability of experimental three-dimensional structures of these key insecticide detoxifiers is vital to improving our knowledge of their enzyme activities. Despite the importance of this family of proteins in insecticide resistance, there are no available experimental three-dimensional structures of insect P450 yet.  For this investigation, a carboxy-terminal Histidine-tagged recombinant CYP6Z2 was heterologously expressed in E. coli to generate a soluble holoprotein suitable for an experimental three-dimensional structure. The expressed enzyme was purified from the cytosol of E. coli via the combination of various purification techniques and cholic acid sodium salt. Two truncated N-terminal signal peptides: short deletion of 11 amino acids and long deletion of 23 amino acids of the hydrophobic domain, were created to prevent aggregation, improve solubility, and facilitate crystallisation. The CYP6Z2 (full length) produced a holoprotein with a P450 protein concentration of 0.60 nmol/mL, whereas the two truncated CYP6Z2 isoforms produced only the inactive species with no peak at 450 nm. We conclude that the hydrophobic signal peptide region of the insect Cytochrome P450s seems sensitive and indispensable to ensuring 3-D folding and stability.
Negotiating Patriarchal Relationship: Representation of Subjectification in Doja Cat’s Woman (2021) Music Video
Authors: Afriano Reno , Hapsari Nurul Fitri , Puspita Yulia Mega , Tiantini Wendy Belinda
Published: October 2024

This study aims to illustrate the subjectification of women's bodies as one of the notions of postfeminist sensibility. Subjectification involves depicting women in a patriarchal setting as empowered individuals with agency, highlighting their reservoirs of strength and spheres of influence, challenging the perception of complete powerlessness. The object of investigation in this study is the music video by Doja Cat entitled "WOMAN" (2021), with a primary focus on examining the dynamic interaction among female talents within the context of the surrounding characters and environment. The author employs textual and visual analysis with qualitative methods and Fiske's Television Culture. In terms of theory, the analysis of the objects was supported by drawing upon Rosalind Gill's postfeminist sensibility. The study's analysis reveals that female talents, initially characterized by power and agency, faces a threat in the presence of patriarchy. This compels them to leverage their bodies and traditional roles as tools for negotiation. This study finds out that subjectification also can be an effort for women to negotiate patriarchal relationships as the bodies were used as tools to assert control and authority over the opposite sex without engaging as an object instead as a subject. This also counters the typical male gaze that makes women look passive or disempowered.

The purpose of this research is to ascertain and explain the proto language and the kinship of Duano tribe in Sabak and Tungkal through dialectology. Then, language documentation is carried out to look at all related aspects from cognate to morpheme positioning. The writers used Proto Malayic from Adelaar (1992) as IPD instrument, The data sources are Duano language from Sabak and Tungkal regencies spoken by 10 respondents. This is a qualitative study. The data were collected through interview, note-taking, recording, and documentation. Then, they were analyzed comparatively. This research found 920 zero data, 510 lexical differences data, 1210 cognate, and 570 phonological differences data. This showed that almost 50% of the data has zero difference, which means they have the same vocabulary. Then, phonological difference is 7.01% indicating that the two languages are different Speech. Meanwhile, lexical difference is 35.29% implying that the two are different subdialects, The relationship between the two regions is very close., the number of vocabularies that belong to vocabulary shift was higher than the vocabulary maintenance. This means that language extinction is very high, especially in the Tungkal area.

Employing David Krech’s emotional classification theory and drawing on Vinay and Darbelnet’s translation methods, this qualitative descriptive research identifies 28 emotional classification data in the novel. Eight types of emotion classifications were identified, including 13 instances of fear, 6 instances of anger, 3 instances of hate, 2 instances of happiness, 1 instance of pain, 1 instance of guilt and regret, 1 instance of pride and shame, and 1 instance of love. The translation applies six translation methods used in 39 instances borrowing, literal, transposition, modulation, equivalent, and adaptation. Each emotion is translated using different translation methods. The application of these six methods is divided into three variants: single with 18 instances, couplet with 9 instances, and triplet with 1 instance. The literal method is the most frequently used in translating emotional expression. The translation method aims to preserve the essence of the narrative from the source language to the target language.

Authors: Sankhyasti Benedicta Azima , Mulatsih Maria Vincentia Eka
Published: October 2024

When the twentieth century was around the corner, the plurality of residents and newcomers grew in numbers, forming a dynamic and heterogeneous urban society in colonial Java. Augusta de Wit was one of the Dutch authors who wrote about Java during her stay there in her book form travelogue titled Java: Facts and Fancies. Her experience in Java had left an influence on her, which is shown in her fiction works. One of them is the short story Vijandschap that portrays mostly the rural and idyllic life of a coastal community, yet includes the participation of the town (Batavia) as a commercially promising place. This qualitative study aspires to illuminate how the rural beach community reconciled with the town and to confirm what she means by natural beauty by focusing on two chapters “The Town" and “On the Beach.” It is conducted by employing a close reading method and Torop’s chronotopical analysis consisting of topographical, psychological, and metaphysical chronotopes in Augusta de Wit’s perspective while considering the notion of tropicality. This study discovers that there is a relational function of town as a dynamic marketplace to the local folks on the beach and a “space of home” for the Europeans, while the beach as fruitful home to the native beach community and a soothing recreational place to de Wit. Moreover, natural beauty is not confined to nature solely, but includes the locals alongside their character and habits, who are an intrinsic tropical part of Java.

Published: October 2024

This study aims to describe the aspects of influence and identity shaping of female characters in the novel "Sayyidaat Alqomar" by Jokha Alharthi based on Ann Brooks' perspective. This research is oriented towards discussing three aspects, namely postfeminist deconstruction, differences, and women's identity. This type of research is descriptive qualitative research with feminist analysis. Data analysis techniques in this study use the Miles and Huberman method with three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. The results of this study are as follows: (1) The influence of postfeminist deconstruction is identified in two aspects. First, gender equality in the relationship between husband and wife and inequality among women. Second, traditional stereotypes that female characters respond as representations of deconstruction with responses to ignore and voice criticism; (2) the differences that affect the identity of female characters are identified, that a woman can own both masculine and feminine sides; and (3) the form of female identity influenced by two factors. First, external factors: destiny and modernization. Second, experience factors: hobbies, work, and trauma. These findings confirm the diversity of Women’s identity in Modernization and pave the way for postfeminist studies towards Omani women.

Authors: Thoyib Muhammmad Edy , Rochman Chaerul
Published: October 2024

Publications on gender and spirituality have been prominently featured in
many journals indexed by various databases. This article employs bibliometric analysis to investigate publication trends on gender and spiritual issues in literary studies within the Scopus database. This research utilized the VOSviewer application to analyze keyword co-authorship, co-occurrence, and citations. The bibliographic data for this study were downloaded from the Scopus database on January 8, 2024, with a search restriction over the last ten years between 2014 and 2023, and under two fields: 1) social sciences and 2) arts and humanities. The results show that of the 34 eligible publications, there are four main highlights. First, the co-authorship of research publications is relatively low and is only undertaken by a few researchers. Second, the co-occurrence of keywords reveals three main research trends over these ten years: gender-based experiences and practices, gender-based concepts, and religion and spirituality. However, keywords related to literary criticism did not appear. Third, the number of citations for documents is uneven and is dominated only by certain authors, affiliations, and countries. Lastly, network visualization reveals limited interconnectivity between topics, such as gender spirituality and literature. These results conclude that interdisciplinary research in the field of literary criticism remains widely open to address existing research gaps and encourage researchers to collaborate on related topics.
Some Things Are Better Unknown: Confronting Traditional Practices of Prophecy in African Cultural Beliefs through Ola Rotimi's The Gods Are Not to Blame

Published: October 2024

In contemporary Nigeria, the proliferation of prophetic claims has profoundly influenced popular religious practices across all societal strata. This phenomenon engages individuals from various backgrounds as they seek divine insights and prophecies from spiritual leaders. This study focuses on Ola Rotimi's play The Gods Are Not to Blame to critically examine the role of prophecy within African cultural beliefs. While existing scholarship on Rotimi's work often analyzes themes of fate, tragedy, and the allocation of blame within the play among others, scant attention has been paid to the fundamental role of prophecy itself as the root cause of the play’s tragic events. This research aims to conduct a deconstructive reading of the play, scrutinizing how the characters' pursuit of foreknowledge and attempts to alter their fates paradoxically precipitate their destinies. The method involves a detailed textual analysis of the play, focusing on key dialogues and actions that highlight the characters' motivations and the unfolding of events. The findings reveal two key instances: first, Baba Fakunle’s prophecy, which foretells disaster for Odewale’s family, leads his parents to attempt to kill him to prevent the predicted calamity. Ironically, this attempt to alter the future sets in motion the very disaster they sought to avoid. Secondly, an elder’s parable causes Odewale to discover the prophecy's truth. In trying to understand and avoid his destiny, Odewale discovers that his actions to prevent it end up fulfilling it. Both instances suggest that the desire to know and change the future is fraught with peril, often precipitating the very outcomes one seeks to avoid. The conclusion emphasizes the prudence of embracing the uncertainty of the future, as attempting to alter it can lead to unintended and often tragic consequences.
