Comparative chemotaxonomic investigations on amaranthus hybridus l. and Amaranthus spinosus L.
Authors: Wahua C. , Nwikiri J. 
Published: May 2021

The present study is set to investigate the comparative chemotaxonomic investigations on Amaranthus hybridus L. and Amaranthus spinosus L. which belong to the family Amaranthaceae. They are dicots pre-dominantly found in the Niger Delta Tropics, Nigeria. The species are annual erect herbs with flower inflorescences as elongated spikes which are mostly paniculate occurring at ends of branches in globose fashion in axils of leaves.The nodes often have pair of axillary spines. Flowers are small, greenish with male ones at the top while the female ones below the clusters and stem is greenish but often reddish with one-seeded capsule as fruit in Amaranthus spinosus which attains up to 80 ± 20cm in height whereas A. hybridus differ in absence of a pair of axillary spines, the stems are greenish or slightly pinkish which grows up to 100 ± 10cm in height. A. hybridus is more of a vegetable and has alternate phyllotaxi and narrow cuneate base. Fruits from both species are circumscissile capsules and their inflorescences are terminal racemes positioned at their axils with female perianth segments of five. Epidermal studies revealed amphistomatic stomata which is anisocytic type for both species. The stomatal index for A. spinosus adaxial foliar epidermis is 20% and the abaxial 20% whereas for A. hybridus adaxial is 20% and abaxial foliar stomatal index of 20%. Anatomical studies revealed open vascular system, collenchyma dominating the hypodermis while parenchyma occupied the general cortex and pith regions. A. hybridus has more vascular bundles and trichomes, and wider pith than A. spinosus. Phytochemical studies showed the presence of tannins, saponins, alkaloids, and flavonoids are present in A. spinosus while alkaloids were absent only in A. hybridus. This may be the reason why A. spinosus is used more in tradomedicine than A.hybridus which served more as vegetable.

Por lo anteriormente expuesto se distingue la estrecha relación que guardan los conceptos, de trabajo, habilidad, y trabajo socialmente útil los cuales se asumen para este estudio.
Pierre Poiret : le plus fidèle disciple d’Antoinette Bourignon
Authors: de Baar Mirjam 
Published: May 2021

C’est en grande partie grâce à sa connaissance de l’œuvre de la prophétesse Antoinette Bourignon (1616-1680) que le cartésien Pierre Poiret est devenu un fervent défenseur de la mystique. Après leur rencontre en 1676, Poiret devint son disciple le plus dévoué et l’éditeur en chef de ses écrits. Cependant, à l’époque de leur première rencontre il n’était pas du tout prévu qu’il assume ce rôle. En fait, de nouvelles recherches montrent que pendant deux ans, Bourignon a continué à mettre Poiret à l’épreuve. Les épreuves auxquelles Bourignon l’a soumis ne l’ont pas détourné d’elle, ce qui ne fait que montrer à quel point il la croyait vraiment prophétesse de Dieu. Cet article se concentre d’une part sur l’importance de Bourignon pour Poiret, et d’autre part sur la question de son rôle dans la postérité de cette femme mystique. Qu’est-ce qui l’a poussé à passer dix ans de sa vie au service de Bourignon ?
Poiret est-il un précurseur ?
Authors: Chevallier Marjolaine 
Published: May 2021

Dans quels domaines peut-on se demander si Pierre Poiret a été un précurseur ? Cet article se propose d’explorer trois thèmes majeurs de l’œuvre et de la pensée de cette figure atypique du protestantisme de la première modernité : le thème du désir, élément constitutif de l’être humain, qui d’après Poiret est tendu vers Dieu et ne peut trouver son apaisement et son accomplissement qu’en lui seul ; la place importante qu’il accorde aux femmes, en affirmant parfois leur supériorité sur les hommes dans le domaine du spirituel ; son approche œcuménique avant la lettre, car le domaine dans lequel on ne se trompe certainement pas en tenant Poiret pour précurseur est celui que nous appelons à présent « œcuménisme » : il y est original dans un temps de douloureux conflits.
Pierre Poiret, le piétisme radical et la traduction allemande de l’Œconomie divine
Authors: Türk Sebastian 
Published: May 2021

Notre article propose d’explorer la réception de Pierre Poiret au sein du piétisme radical en Allemagne. Dans ce milieu spirituel a émergé une traduction allemande de l’Œconomie Divine (1687) (7 vol. 1735-1742). Nous souhaitons donner quelques éclairages sur la réalisation de ce projet, les personnes qui y ont été associées, ainsi que sur la manière dont le texte de Poiret a été transposé en langue allemande. Poiret et ses traducteurs piétistes partagent la conviction que la vérité religieuse n’est accessible que par l’illumination divine. Mais la tension entre l’inspiration divine de la vérité et son agencement systématique et rationnel dans le volumineux traité de Poiret se trouve encore renforcée par les stratégies érudites mises en place par les traducteurs, notamment par Johann Christoph Edelmann qui se muera de piétiste radical en représentant des Lumières radicales.

Published: May 2021

Background: Competent educational environment for medical postgraduate is crucial to ensure sound clinical outcome. The quality of the educational environment is influenced by many factors, physical, social and intellectual. The current study aimed at assessing the educational environment in a postgraduate Saudi Board for Family Medicine in Jeddah.
Methodology: Through cross sectional study design, all residents in the Saudi Board of Family medicine in Jeddah were invited to participate in the study; they were asked to fill a predesigned adopted valid questionnaire based on the Scan of Postgraduate Educational Environment Domain (SPEED) which is used to assess the quality of the Post Graduate Medical Education. Data were collected during gathering of the residents in a usual didactic teaching day. A total of 186 residents responded, making a response rate 93%.
Results: Out of all participants (n=186), females formed two thirds of the residents (60.8%), their mean age was 27.6±2.27 years, with an almost equal representation of the four residency levels. The highest scores about the quality of the educational process was observed in the item regarding the supervisors being respectful towards the registrars (mean score 4.1 out of 5), followed by the being approachable and helpful (mean score 4.0). The lowest scores were observed regarding presence of staff in general who have positive impact on the educational environment (mean score 3.2), followed by availability of good clinical supervisors all the time (mean score 3.3). The overall mean score accounted for 3.6± 0.56, although it was higher in females (3.7±0.642) than males (3.5±0.661), and in those in R1 (3.7±0.509) and R4 (3.7±0.605), however, these differences are not statistically significant p>0.05. Also, no statistically significant correlation between and age and overall mean score was observed.
Conclusion and recommendations: The Saudi Board residents for Family Medicine considered their educational environment as more positive than negative with potential areas for improvement. Although females perceived the educational environment better than male trainees, no significant changes observed along the different stages of the program. It is recommended to use these findings in reforming the educational environment in the Saudi Board.

Published: May 2021

High-speed electric machines (HSEMs) have been widely used in many of today’s applications. For high-speed machines, in particular, it is very important to accurately predict natural frequencies of the rotor at the design stage to minimize the likelihood of failure. The main goal of this study is examine the design issues and performance of high-speed machines. For permanent-magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) driven by high-frequency drives, the rotor speed is normally above 30 000 rpm and it may exceed 100 000 rpm. This study examined a 7-kw permanent magnet synchronous machine at 200,000 rpm. 3D finite element analysis (ANSYS WORKBENCH 15) was conducted to determine the natural frequencies and rotor patterns of a synchronous high-speed permanent magnetic motor, to assess the impact of leading design parameters, such as length, column diameter, span, bearings, material properties, and to compare the results of the finite element program with the results of analytical methods (i.e. critical speed).

Published: May 2021

No presente trabalho foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa amparada a luz da epistemologiaqualitativa proposta por González Rey, com o objetivo de compreender os processos subjetivos de uma pessoa diagnosticada com Alzheimer. A partir da dinâmica conversacional, realizada com o participante da pesquisa, foi possível produzir uma análise construtiva-interpretativa sobre a experiência do Alzheimer por meio de indicadores capazes de sustentar hipóteses que surgiram no decorrer da pesquisa, que nos permitiram gerar um modelo teórico sobre o tema estudado. Tal estudo possibilita compreender a pessoa para além do Alzheimer, compreendendo os desdobramentos do adoecimento em uma ótica mais ampla, percebendo os processos subjetivos tanto individuais quanto sociais que atravessam e circundam as pessoas nessa nova forma de estar no mundo. Neste trabalho faz-se uma reflexão sobre o processo psicoterápico e sua semelhança com o processo da realização de uma pesquisa, em que em ambos os casos tem-se a necessidade de uma implicação e engajamento com o outro e a relação que ali se estabelece.

IntroductionA risk stratification model is pretty important to prevent the recurrent stroke for ischemic stroke patients. The present study aimed to meta-analysis the ability of Essen Stroke Risk Score (ESRS) to accurately predict recurrence of ischemic stroke.Material and methodsStudies on the diagnostic performance of Essen Stroke Risk Score in predicting recurrent stroke were searched by electronic and manual methods. Quality pooled C-statistics, and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were evaluated.ResultsFifteen studies with a total of 94,052 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled C-statistics of ESER for patients without atrial fibrillation (AF) experiencing recurring strokes at 90-day or one-year were 0.65 (95% CI: 0.58-0.73) and 0.57 (95% CI: 0.53-0.60), and the heterogeneity was weak. The average ratio of one-year recurrent stroke in the low-risk and high-risk groups classified according to ESRS is 5.6%(range 1.4 to 12.1%) and 9.2%( range 3.2 to 20.1%), respectively. And the calibration analysis showed the pooled RR in the low-risk group is 0.88 (95%CI: 0.24-3.19) and 0.88 (0.24-3.31) with wide confidence intervals and high levels of heterogeneity, indicating the calibration ability was low.ConclusionsESRS had low to moderate ability to predict recurrence of stroke in patients with ischemic stroke and low calibration ability, which need to be further improved.

This study sought to examine the relationship between principals' democratic leadership style and students' conformity to regulations in public secondary schools in Nakuru County, Kenya. The study was anchored on the Social Control theory by Hirschi (1969). The study adopted a correlational research design. The target population was 338 principals, 338 deputy principals, 3426 teachers and 116,374 students in 338 public secondary schools in Nakuru County, Kenya. 100 schools were selected using stratified random sampling. Purposive sampling was used to select 100 Principals, while proportionate and simple random sampling was used to select 346 teachers and 383 students. Ten per cent of the Deputy Principals were selected. Questionnaires were used to collect data form Principals, teachers, and students, while interviews were used to collect data from Deputy Principals. Test-retest reliability revealed a coefficient of 0.70, indicating that the instruments were reliable. The findings revealed a statistically significant between principals use of democratic leadership style and students’ conformity to school rules (r=0.334; p< 0.05. It was concluded that the democratic leadership style, when used by principals in public secondary schools in Nakuru County, Kenya, enhances students' conformity to school rules. The findings will help school principals to fully embrace democratic leadership style to enhance students’ conformity to school rules. The study also recommends that the administration develops a process for handling students’ non-conformity issues in a calm, consistent and supportive manner. The study also recommends, principals should involve all stakeholders, for instance, teachers, students and parents in developing school rules and policies that affect students.

Published: May 2021

Music production is one of the job markets that has gained popularity around the world, including Kenya. Universities have come up with music production programmes in order to prepare bachelor of music learners for this viable music job market opportunity. However, it is the observation of many studies that universities are not preparing job-ready graduates. With the advance of the digital era that is seamlessly permeating every sector of the music job market, attention needs to be given to the music production programs in Kenya. This study purposed to establish the relevance of university music curricula to the requirements of music production job markets in Kenya. Elliot’s (2005) praxial theory underpinned the study. The results revealed that music production curriculum of university X did not meet most of the job market requirements while that of Y met most of the requirements. The Simple Matching Coefficient (SMC) of university X was 0.59 while that for university Y was 1.00. This finding revealed that the music production university music curricula could not be entirely termed as 'irrelevant', but it depended on individual universities. The recommendation was that university music schools should revise and restructure their music curricula to accurately reflect the music production job market in Kenya to compete favourably, locally and internationally.

This study sought to investigate the relationship between the provision of students' academic advising resources and effective performance of instructional roles by teachers' in secondary schools in Nandi East Sub County, Kenya. The study adopted a correlational research design. Test re-test method was used to test the reliability of the instruments. The study targeted secondary school teachers while the accessible population was 192 teachers teaching in the 30 secondary schools and 30 deputy principals in Nandi East Sub-County. The study used proportionate sampling to categorize respondents into female and male; Boarding and day schools. Proportional sampling was used to apportion teacher respondents from various schools. Simple random sampling method was adopted to sample the actual respondents. The Sample size was 127 teachers in the 30 sampled schools determined by using Krejcie and Morgan Table of Sample Size determination and the 30 deputy principals surveyed. The study reported that that there was a positive and significant relationship between the provision of academic advising resources and performance of instructional roles by teachers' The study concluded that teachers were ineffective in providing career guidance materials to students, regularly giving academic advice to students, and regularly providing students with recreational games, insufficient time was allocated to academic counselling sessions, and some teachers were not effective in regularly organizing school-wide academic advisory services. This study recommends that principals of secondary schools should ensure that academic counselling sessions are scheduled in the timetable to address the issue of insufficient time allocated to academic counselling.

Published: May 2021

The purpose of this study was to establish the influence of group guidance and counselling services on the self-efficacy of orphaned children living in orphanages in Bungoma County. The researcher adopted the ex-post facto research design. The population of the study was 2132 orphans in the 20 orphanages. 280 of the orphans in all the 20 orphanages were interviewed. One (1) caregiver and one (1) administrator (again per orphanage) were interviewed. Out of a total of 20 Children’s Homes in Bungoma County, the researcher purposively sampled 280 orphans that were interviewed. Questionnaires and interview schedules were used to collect data from the respondents who included the orphans, orphanages administrators and caregivers. The self-efficacy scale of 1-4 was converted to between 0-100. The data was prepared, coded and analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. Strict ethical considerations were observed during the study. The study established that there was a positive and significant relationship between self-efficacy of orphaned children and group guidance and counselling services. The study‘s recommendations for policy was that the government should come up with policies to guide all the orphanages in Kenya, including the process of guiding and counselling. Recommendations for practice were that group guiding and counselling services should be encouraged in orphanages as they create confidence among orphans. By way of confiding into each other, they realise that they have shared challenges, and this builds their resilience.

This study investigated the effects of Family financial management on marital stability of married persons in Lanet/ Umoja Ward in Nakuru-North Sub-County, Nakuru County. The study used the theories of Functioning Family Systems mainly by Murray Bowen, which focuses on patterns that develop in families in order to defuse anxiety. A target population of 498 married persons was randomly selected featuring those who have been in marriage for ten years or less. A smaller sample of 50 married persons (representing 10%) was randomly extracted. Descriptive statistics were used to describe how the dependent variable related to the independent variables in terms of percentages. The study indicated that management of family finances significantly affected marital stability. This is because some married persons dedicate most of their time in pursuit of wealth and in the process, literally forget their families. They seek to invest for their family at the expense of investing in their families. The study recommends that spouses intending to get married should undertake premarital counseling regarding financial management to guarantee marital stability.

Published: May 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic brought the attention of researchers to impulsive buying behaviors and the purchasing of local products, as they are fundamental for the economic recovery of the countries. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to identify how the consumer’s impulsive buying tendencies influence their choices for foreign products. We applied the Impulsive Buying Tendency Scale and the X-Scale of Xenocentrism to 300 young and adults. To analyze the data, we conducted a PLS-SEM analysis to test five hypotheses. Our results from the path analysis indicate that the affective aspects of impulsive buying tendency decrease the cognitive IBT (β= -0.345), and increases the foreign admiration (β= 0,265) and domestic rejection (β= 0,226). Moreover, the cognitive aspect of IBT can also increase domestic rejection (β= 0,196). Our results follow the theory regarding xenocentrism, as consumers cognitively will consider foreign products as superior, thus rejecting the domestic ones. Furthermore, affective has also a significant impact on domestic rejection, which indicates that consumers may disregard local products because of individual frustrations. Overall, businesses need to take into account that to conquer those impulsive buyers, they need to show that they are more global and reinforce the product features. Research on the seek for foreign products and impulsive behavior will be fundamental as this purchasing can help the countries in the economic recovery after the COVID-19 crisis.
