African Initiated Churches and Gender Equality: Interpreting the concept of wife submission in the context of marital equality in Zimbabwe
Authors: Vengesai Priccilar
Published: August 2024

Marital equality has been a challenge among all religious faiths worldwide from time
immemorial. Without a doubt, gender inequality is a pervasive issue that exists in most of the world’s religions. The subjugation of women to men is an unfortunate reality that cannot be ignored or overlooked. It is a critical issue that needs to be addressed and resolved to bring about equality and justice for all. This research focused specifically on the marital inequalities that African Initiated Churches in Zimbabwe present through their perceptions, interpretations, and beliefs of the doctrine of wife submission. The insights of social conflict theory are utilized to interrogate the marital inequalities that are found in the African Initiated Churches in Zimbabwe. This discussion is based on the research that was carried out through interviews, with semi-structured questions, of a sample of twenty members (ten males and ten females) of eleven different African Initiated Churches in Zimbabwe. The main findings of this research are that the doctrine of wife submission is being interpreted in a way that contradicts marital equality by African Initiated Churches in Zimbabwe. This interpretation renders wives subordinate to their husbands, which creates a social conflict when their needs are not adequately represented by their husbands. This article ultimately recommends that the
doctrine of wife submission be reinterpreted to fit into the contemporary marital equality
discourse through Bible annotations that are marital equality compliant on the Biblical
passages that are perpetuating a wife’s submission.
The Heart of Christian Leadership: Embracing Radical Hospitality as Christ's Love in Action
Authors: Afaradi Asep
Published: August 2024

This scholarly article delves into the multifaceted concept of "Radical Hospitality" within
the framework of leadership in Protestant Christianity. Here, 'Radical Hospitality'
represents a rediscovery of the essence of the Christian journey, where individuals, having chosen exile and lived as strangers in their relationship with God, His Kingdom, and themselves, find a welcoming home extended by a loving father who spares no expense for their return. It transcends mere friendliness, involving the reception of guests with a warmth, openness, and authenticity that surpasses expectations in a profound manner. Grounded in theological foundations and biblical principles, the paper aims to dissect and illuminate the various manifestations of Christ's love as expressed through radical hospitality within the leadership paradigm. Drawing on scriptural narratives, historical perspectives, and contemporary theological discourse, the article explores how the ethos of radical hospitality can profoundly impact leadership dynamics within Protestant Christian communities. The discussion encompasses the creation of inclusive and welcoming environments, the embodiment of servant leadership principles, and the transformative potential of radical hospitality in the broader mission and evangelistic endeavors of the church. Through a nuanced examination of discernment, boundaries, and the call to emulate Christ's love, this article seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of the theological underpinnings and practical implications of radical hospitality in shaping the ethos of leadership within Protestant Christianity.

Published: August 2024

Warfare has become a problematic discourse in social life and theology. The research aims to identify the malfunction of war through the ethics of jihad contained in Islamic teachings that emphasise the principle of humanism. This article uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. The data in this study are verses of the Qur'an, tafsir books, and journals directly related to jihad and war. Tafsir Maudhu'i analysis is used to provide relevant correlations through Islamic teachings. The results showed that in the Qur'an, the terms jihad and war are divided into four classifications, namely: Self-defence, Eliminating Fitnah, Fighting Oppressors and War with Allah's permission. Some of the ethics of war contained in the Qur'an are Protection of Non-Combatants, Prohibition of Brutal Killings and Cruelty, Protection of Environment and Property, Protection of Prisoners of War, Responsibility of Military Leaders and Prohibition of Attacks on Places of Worship and Civilians. In theological discourse, cases
such as genocide and massacres of civilians are becoming increasingly complex. This
research reimagines humanist values in the context of war ethics which sets the stage for Islam to contribute positively to conflict resolution and peacekeeping.

Authors: Segooa Mapule Yvonne , Ntshangase Mohammed
Published: August 2024

The development of Grade R readiness in South Africa's Foundation Phase presents ongoing challenges that significantly impact Grade One teaching. This study sought to investigate how Grade R readiness influences Grade One instruction, focusing on the methods, skills, and strategies employed by Grade R teachers and their subsequent effects. To conduct this investigation, the study adopted a qualitative research design with a cross-sectional case study format, utilising Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory. This theoretical framework provided a comprehensive approach to exploring the multi-level developmental processes related to Grade R readiness. Specifically, it examined how learners interact within various systems, their understanding and physical engagement with their environment, and how these factors influence the educational context. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observation, and document analysis. The findings indicated that, while both schools developed readiness, their understanding of how readiness is developed, and the approaches used in Grade R classes differed. Additionally, the study highlighted those policies from the Department of Basic Education often created setbacks in practice and implementation within schools. These policies tended to lack clarity or support for effective application, thereby hindering the development of a cohesive and comprehensive approach to Grade R readiness.
Synthesizing Policy and Practice: An Examination of Child-Related Policy Implementation in Elementary Education within Nyeri County, Kenya
Authors: Githinji Wanjohi , Ndiangui Peter
Published: August 2024

Since independence, Kenya’s education system has undergone significant reforms aimed at enhancing access, equity, and quality. The Basic Education Act 2013 underscored the government’s commitment to free compulsory education, laying the foundation for policy interventions in elementary education. While policies aimed at safeguarding children's rights and ensuring their holistic development exist at the national and regional levels, translating them into effective practice within schools remains a challenge due to limited resources, infrastructure deficits, bureaucratic hurdles, cultural norms, and socioeconomic disparities. These factors influence access and retention rates, thereby impeding policy implementation efforts. The objective of the study was to establish the status of the provision and utilization of education-related policies. This article, therefore, delves into the critical issue of policy-practice disparities in the implementation of child-related policies within primary schools in Nyeri County, Kenya. The findings show that most schools were aware of and had the requisite resources and capacity to implement policies governing early childhood programs. However, they were not strictly adhering to those on childcare and protection. Thus, policy enforcement should be strengthened to curb malpractices in some primary schools.
Redeveloping interactional practices in foreign language classrooms
Authors: Kotkavuori Suvi
Published: August 2024

Developing collaborative skills can help foreign language (FL) teachers to provide diverse and meaningful learning opportunities that reflect today’s increasingly complex and changing communicative situations. This study examined how language teachers collaborated with L1 students to expand meaning-making practices in FL learning in higher education. Individual interviews were conducted with ten Language Centre teachers from three universities, two in Finland and one in the Czech Republic. The qualitative content analysis of the data showed that the teachers involved the L1 students actively across different levels of courses and activities to bring their knowledge, views, and experiences in the classroom. The result was an increase in interactional variety and a positive effect on student participation, particularly when the teachers gave space to learning opportunities afforded by the interactions. However, while collaborating with the L1P’s led the teachers to better understand the students’ needs and interests regarding the quickly evolving subject matter, their role in managing the more complex and shifting classroom situations grew more important. Therefore, creating authentic FL learning experiences with the L1 students requires teachers to combine efficient management skills with flexibility and a willingness to learn.

Aim. To analyze anamnestic, clinical and paraclinical indicators in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) receiving pathogenetic therapy with a drug for correcting nonsense mutations in the dmd gene — ataluren (translarna), to evaluate the safety of therapy and the dynamics of motor disorders in real clinical practice against the background of use drug.
Materials and methods. The study included 24 patients with DMD receiving ataluren who were hospitalized at the Center for Pediatric Psychoneurology of the National Medical Research Center for Children’s Health of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation for the period from January 2019 to February 2024. An analysis of anamnestic data, the most common clinical manifestations and paraclinical indicators, assessed the safety of the drug by the presence of serious adverse events leading to discontinuation of therapy, and the effectiveness of treatment using functional scales of motor activity: the “North Star” scale and the 6-minute walk test.
Results. The age of onset of independent walking was 14.3 ± 2.6 months, the age of onset of the disease was 3.3 ± 2.6 years, the age of visiting a doctor was 4.25 ± 2.00 years, the age of diagnosis was 5.3 ± 2 ,3 years, age of initiation of glucocorticosteroids (GCS) — 6.3 ± 1.8 years. GCS in an adequate dose and regimen was taken by 13 (56%) patients. Cognitive, emotional-volitional and behavioral disorders were registered in 17 (70.8%) patients, excess body weight — in 6 (25%), and stiffness of the ankle joints — in 9 (37.5%).Pulmonary function was analyzed in 16 (66.6%) patients, of which a decrease was detected in 1 boy. No patient experienced a serious adverse event leading to discontinuation of ataluren. When assessing the effectiveness of treatment in a group of patients under 7 years of age (n = 11), 10 (91%) children showed improvement or stabilization of their condition according to the 6-minute walk test; in 6 (54.5%) — improvement in motor skills when analyzing scores on the “North Star” scale; in 5 (45.5%) the condition was stabilized. the group of patients over 7 years of age (n = 13), according to the 6-minute walk test, 4 (30.8%) children showed stabilization of the condition, 7 (53.8%) had disease progression, 2 (15.4%) the child entered the non-ambulatory stage. When analyzing scores on the “North Star” scale, 1 (7.7%) child showed improvement in performance, 6 (46.1%) — stabilization, 4 (30.8%) — decrease, 2 (15.4%) — loss outpatient.
Conclusion. Early diagnosis of the disease and timely initiation of therapy in compliance with all standards of management of patients with DMD are crucial for maintaining motor function. Pathogenetic therapy with ataluren increases the duration of the outpatient stage, improving and/or stabilizing the motor skills of patients.

Authors: Zhаuniaronak Irina V. , Smychek Vasily B.
Published: August 2024

Introduction. The high morbidity and mortality in premature infants, neurological and somatic disorders leading to disability, determine the search for early markers and predictors of developmental disorders at an early age and the development of a system of preventive measures, medical rehabilitation and habilitation, depending on the gestational age in the premature infant at birth. The purpose of the study is to compare neonatal risk factors for the development of neurological disorders at an early age in premature newborns taking into account the gestational age at birth.
Materials and methods. A retrospective-prospective study was performed. The study included two hundred twelve premature babies born between 26th and 37th week of gestation. There were formed four groups depending on the gestational age at birth: up to 28 weeks (n = 36), 28–31 weeks (n = 51), 32–33 weeks (n = 55), 34–36 weeks (n = 70).
Statistical processing of the research results was carried out using the R system, developed at the Department of Statistics at the University of Auckland, is available under the GNU GPL license and is distributed in the form of source codes and applications.
Results. A high incidence of intrauterine infection in premature infants (90.1%) was revealed. Significant differences and dependence of the frequency of encephalopathy of prematurity (ENPP) on the degree of prematurity were established (p< 0.001), while even with late prematurity (34–36 weeks) ENPP was observed in 12.9%. Data analysis showed the presence of ENPP in the neonatal period in premature infants to increase the likelihood of disability at an early age according to the class of nervous diseases by 22 times compared with the disability rate in premature infants without ENPP, Fisher’s p < 0.001.
Conclusion. Risk factors for delayed neurological disorders in premature infants vary significantly and depend on gestational age, must be taken into account when developing preventive habilitation programs.
Optimizing On-Device AI: Overcoming Resource Constraints in Federated Learning for IoT
Authors: Sai Srinivas T. Aditya , Bhuvaneswari M. , Bharathi M.
Published: August 2024

Federated Learning (FL) is revolutionizing privacy in distributed IoT systems by eliminating the need to share raw data. However, it has its challenges. On the client side, attackers can tamper with data or inject false information, leading to what's known as backdoor poisoning attacks. Meanwhile, central servers can compromise data integrity and privacy by manipulating updates and extracting sensitive information from gradients. This is particularly problematic in IoT networks where user privacy is paramount. Innovative techniques like differential privacy and secure aggregation are being developed to tackle these issues and protect user data. Communication and learning convergence also pose significant hurdles due to uneven data distribution and the varied capabilities of IoT devices. To address this, new communication protocols and optimization algorithms are being implemented. Resource management is another critical area, given the limited computational power of many IoT devices. Solutions like resource-aware FL architectures and optimized AI models are emerging to ease these constraints. Additionally, advancements in AI hardware and lightweight training strategies are making deploying AI on IoT sensors more feasible. Finally, adopting standards such as ETSI Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) and modern communication protocols is essential for the widespread deployment of FL-IoT systems, ensuring they are secure, efficient, and interoperable.
Occurrence of a Likely Tuff Bed between the Middle and Upper Siwaliks, Taunsa area, Dera Ghazi Khan, Eastern Sulaiman Range, Pakistan

A likely tuff bed lies along the gradational contact of the Middle and Upper Siwaliks in eastern Sulaiman Range, Taunsa area of Dera Ghazi Khan district, Pakistan. This tuffaceous unit is 0.5–3 m thick and extends for 10 km along the north-south strike in the eastern limb of the Zindapir anticline. It is greyish white to white on fresh surface, fine-grained to silty at the bottom and clayey at the top and thus shows a fining upward grain-size grading. The lower part of the ash bed shows a prominent lamination defined by megascopically visible abundant biotite, while the central and upper parts are so fine-grained that the individual minerals cannot be seen in hand sample. Unlike the lower well-laminated part, the central and upper parts are crudely laminated to apparently massive. The bulk samples analysed with X-ray diffraction consist of quartz, feldspar (plagioclase), biotite, clays, calcite and some ore mineral likely spinel, while the clay-size fractions contain illite, chlorite, biotite and probably their mixed-layered varieties. The colour, texture, presence of abundant biotite and stratigraphic position of the Taunsa tuff correlate with those reported from Potwar plateau and from Kashmir basin. However, the apparent absence of smectite from the XRD pattern makes the Taunsa ash bed different from both Potwar and Kashmir tuffs. The present stratigraphic position of the tuff bed corresponds to shallow diagenetic zone, while the absence of smectite in the tuff and crystallinity of illite suggest that the tuff is probably derived upon reworking from a deeper diagenetic zone belonging to a lower stratigraphic level. The Eocene or other older pre-Siwalik units in Pakistan may have or had some primary ashfall deposits as reported in the northwestern Himalayas of India. This older volcanic ash may have been reworked to its present site of occurrence along the gradational contact of the Middle and the Upper Siwaliks in Taunsa area of Dera Ghazi Khan. However, the primary source of the Taunsa tuff may belong more likely to Chagai arc in Pakistan than to Dacht-e-Nawar volcanic complex in Afghanistan.
Investment Valuation of Crushing Station Upgrade to Support Coal Production in Pit Z using Discounted Cash Flow Method
Authors: Muharam Adnan Fadhlullah , Faturohman Taufik
Published: August 2024

Pit Z at the Binungan site contains substantial coal reserves, estimated at around 10.77 million metric tons based on Life of Mine (LOM) data. The current issue involves the breakdown of the crusher unit at the crushing station during the processing of Pit Z coal. Further investigation revealed that the damage was caused by the Hardgrove Grindability Index (HGI) of Pit Z coal (29-36), which is lower than the crusher unit's specification (HGI ? 40). The HGI measures coal's resistance to crushing; the lower the HGI value, the harder the coal is to crush. This study aims to evaluate the financial feasibility of constructing a New Crushing Station, utilizing the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method with incremental cost analysis. The construction of a new crushing station yields the following financial parameters: NPV of Rp. 60.236 billion, Profitability Index (PI) of 2.69, IRR of 61.65%, Payback Period of 1.63 years, and Discounted Payback Period of 1.81 years. Sensitivity analysis indicates that coal production is the most sensitive parameter affecting NPV, with a ±20% change in this parameter resulting in a ±33.69% fluctuation in NPV. Additionally, Scenario Analysis and Monte Carlo Simulations reveal that the worst-case scenario produces an NPV of Rp. 54.581 billion, the best-case scenario an NPV of Rp. 64.498 billion, with a 0% probability of NPV < 0, and a 47.28% probability of NPV exceeding the Base Case. This study suggests that constructing a new crushing station is financially viable with manageable risk.

The final project exam or defend theses often causes anxiety for some students. Anxiety is a normal response to situations that will be faced. However, excessive anxiety will affect the lack of confidence at the time of the thesis defense. In addition to anxiety, student obstacles in presenting the final project / thesis include lack of practice and lack of mastery of presentation techniques.

Educational media has become a crucial tool that teachers need to provide in the teaching process, particularly in the current era of digital disruption. One relevant option for instructional media is digital comics. Digital comics hold the potential to be an effective and engaging learning tool. This study aims to conduct training on using instructional media in the form of Quizizz and digital comics through the Comic Life application in versions 3, 5, and 15. The methodology involves approaches such as lectures, discussions, and demonstrations. The activities take place at Wilcambidik Ngombol Elementary School, Purworejo Regency, targeting 30 teachers from PAUD (early childhood education), TK (kindergarten), and SD (elementary school) levels in the Wilcambidik Ngombol area. The challenges faced are the limited skills of teachers in developing innovative instructional media like digital comics and interactive quizzes. To address this, the proposed solution is to organize training on using Comic Life versions 3, 5, and 15, as well as Quizizz, for PAUD, TK, and SD teachers in the region. Furthermore, resource support and mentoring will be provided to enhance the development of innovative instructional media. This engagement activity encourages the participation of teachers from various school levels to enhance their understanding of utilizing digital comic media and the Quizizz platform. Preliminary analysis results indicate unmet needs in instructional media development. After participating in training involving experts like Dr. Khabib Sholeh, Mr. Suryo Daru Santoso, and Nurul Setyorini, participants demonstrated improved understanding and skills in digital literacy, utilizing the Quizizz platform, and implementing the Comic 2 Lite approach in the teaching process.
