Construction professionals are increasingly confronted with issues related to the preservation of the environment. For several years, they have been facing a double problem. In highly urbanized regions, the number of buildings is increasing, and with them the need for raw materials. Concrete is one of the most used materials in modern works, the need for aggregates, one of its components is very high. However, the quarries of aggregates are running out. Potentially usable spaces are becoming scarce, and construction professionals are facing supply difficulties. On the other hand, in the building sector, millions of tons of waste from demolitions are still too often deposited in storage facilities. It is becoming clear that the recovery of this waste is a major environmental issue, and that their reuse in the form of aggregates would be a beneficial alternative for the environment. It would allow pollution by landfill to be limited. In order to determine a relevant use of recycled aggregates in construction, we have done the tests for determining the density, los angeles, water absorption, proctor test on its aggregates. We got the following conclusions: recycled concrete aggregates are generally more absorbent and less dense than ordinary aggregates. The form of recycled aggregates is similar to that of crushed stone. The concretes made with these aggregates have acceptable workability. Due to their composition, these recycled aggregates have different characteristics from natural aggregates, and their mechanical behavior is distinct. Indeed, recycled aggregates are more porous, have a higher water absorption coefficient, contain hydrates, and have interfacial transition zones, which are weak zones for the mechanical strength of the concrete. Recycled aggregates are also suitable for road foundation work.

One of the most important concepts in Geometry is, distance, which is the Quanta in geometry, while in Material-Geometry the composition of Opposite, the Material-Point which is the Quanta in Chemistry and Physics. As in Algebra Zero ,0, is the Master-key number for all Positive and Negative numbers and this because their sum and multiplication become zero, and the same on any coordinate-System where ± axes pass from zero, The Rolling of Positive ⊕, constituent on the Negative ⊝, constituent, creates the Neutral Material Point Which Equilibrium. Angular-Momentum is identical with Spin and consists the First-Discrete-Energy-Monad which occupies, Discrete Value and Direction, in contradiction to the Point which is Nothing, Dimensionless and without any Direction. Quaternion [(+) ↻↺ (-)] ≡ Box which carries the Principal stress σ between A (+), B (-) which σ, as Centripetal-acceleration is the minimum Energy becoming from the in-storage AB acceleration and is equal to the Gravity g. Because of the two different motions, Revolving and Periodic, acceleration of the Gravity g ≡ ± σ exists as the First Energy-Box- ,while in the Second is followed the Local-Extreme-case this acceleration of Gravity g ≡ ± σ, is altered Locally by changing the Principal-stress σ with a Local-uniform-Pressure → ≡ g k = g. [ Force/Area] = G, i.e. The minimum Local - Energy acceleration is the known, Universal Gravitational-constant G = g k = g = σ, for Macrocosm and Microcosm, Obeying Newton`s Laws of motion. It was proved that, Constant G, is the mechanism for the First-kick-Start on the Granular-Energy-monad, g, which Acts in the lightest and less-mass Particle and which is the Hydrogen. The Electron-Nutation-Energy due to g, effect is the minimum frequency ≡ = 2 ,8398447. , and which so exists in all Atoms. This Energy in Hydrogen-Cave as E-M, Conductor ≡ The Pin of Atom-Plug Into their Sockets, which are the Orbit – Bracket – Hooks ≡ The Hands of Atoms, i.e. → The Atoms Plug with their Pins into the other Atoms-Drains = Holes, and so are Bonded. This is the Resonance frequency between all Atoms, and because Hydrogen is Common to all Atoms, so Bond to Molecules and Crystals, and all other Compounds in this Cosmos.
The Mind Travels on the Waves of Fantasy to Pursue Universal Evolution
Authors: Riccardi Bruno 
Published: October 2024

A positive aspect of quantum mechanics has been that we have become familiar with wave sizes. Declined in the various forms that these can assume, we offer a probabilistic approach in the study of phenomena that occur in nature. Whether it is sound waves, electromagnetic waves or gravitational waves, whether they collapse when we measure phenomena, they present us with a completely different view than we have so far conceived of natural events. The maximum systems that have accompanied us to this day, and that have represented the foundation of our knowledge, have failed in favor of a philosophy that projects us into an evanescent abstract dimension, and not usable with the common senses of which we are endowed. In this work we present a synthesis of wave concepts, adopting them to a possible theoretical interpretation of how even our feeling and our knowledge can travel on the special waves of fantasy, and at the same time offer a personal reinterpretation of natural phenomena in harmony with the wave-like conception.

A cyberattack is an attack initiated from a computer against a website, computer system, or individual computer … that compromises the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of the computer or information stored on it. Every man’s activity nowadays is guarded, controlled, and directed majorly by the internet. The internet which seeks to connect individuals and corporate bodies has no doubt been infiltrated by bandwagons of internet fraudsters, cyber attackers, and computer programmers who have fashioned out so many means of attacking internet users like phishing, writing virus codes, installing rootkits, cross-site scripting and a host of others which in turn causes damages by stealing private personal data, attacking companies and their websites, attacking corporate entities, and organizations, etc. There’s equally no doubt to the fact that all these attacks by whatever mode always affect the receiver of the attack ineptly and in so many cases, lead to the loss of some personal data, private documents, and some others in monetary terms/values. It has become so important that individuals and corporate entities adopt various strategies and devise means to protect and guard themselves against cyberattacks. This article seeks to explain the concept of self-protection by identifying some types of cyber threats and explaining various ways by which individuals and bodies can protect themselves on the internet against cyberattacks thereby ensuring cyber security.

The Question of Divorce Based on Matthew 19:1-12: Did Jesus legalize divorce on grounds for sexual immorality?
Authors: Maina Mercy , Nathan Joshua 
Published: October 2024

The paper was guided by the question of divorce based on Matthew 19:1-12, on whether Jesus legalized divorce on grounds for sexual immorality. After evaluating the Jewish setting, historical and geographical background, and the immediate context of Matthew 19:1-12 suggests that by the exception clause ("except for porneia") Jesus permitted divorce only in the case of an unlawful marriage to a near relative and betrothal period. By means of the porneia exception, Jesus did not intend to impose the Levitical norms for legitimate marriage, but simply to declare that when such norms were violated, there was a valid reason for the dissolution of marriage. This view is consistent with the absolute value that Mark, Luke, and Paul placed on the saying of Jesus. I can conclude that by the exception phrase about porneia, Jesus did not intend to open the way for divorce and remarriage in the case of sexual misconduct. Rather, he wished to reaffirm the creation account of permanence of the marriage union but allowing divorce in a case of an unlawful marriage specifically during betrothal period and incestuous relationship. The teaching of Jesus in Matthew 19:1-12 can be summarized in two points. First, divorce is forbidden because it violates God’s intention of marriage as a permanent union of two persons. Second, remarriage after divorce is adultery because divorce does not dissolve the marriage union.

Published: October 2024

The recent increase in competition and insufficient government financing, as well as the government's increased focus on technical, vocational education training, have had a significant negative impact on higher education's service delivery and performance. The study sought to determine the effect of role culture implementation approach on university performance in Kenya. The study used a descriptive research approach, and its target population included 444 senior university employees from all 74 accredited universities in Kenya. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. The study discovered that role culture was significant to performance of universities. The R square value of 0.184 proved that role culture affected the performance of universities by 18.4%. The correlation value of (r=0.321, p<0.05) showed the relationship between role culture and universities’ performance was positive and significant. The chi-square value of χ2 (5) = 12.222, p=0.027 further established a significant relationship between role culture and universities’ performance. Role culture was significantly associated with research output, student placement by KUCCPS, and graduation rate. Organization managers must have a good understanding of the cultures that exist in universities and the impact it generates on typical performance. At the managerial level, the management should not only pay attention to the results but also consider the needs of the staff for positive outcomes.

Published: October 2024

Sound inventory control and management facilitate several actions and desired results that would increase the performance level of an organization to great heights. This study sought to investigate the determinants of effective inventory management in public hospitals in Mombasa County, Kenya. The specific objectives were to determine the effects of information technology, material handling, staff competencies, and storage facilities on inventory management. The study was guided by Resource Based View Theory. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The sample size for the study was 41 members of staff from Public Hospitals. The study established that increase in the staff competencies and storage facility results in an increase in effective inventory management. Further, increase in information technology and materials handling results in a decrease in effective inventory management. The study recommended that public hospitals should consider both academic qualification and experience in hiring its staff, automating material handling techniques to enhance the safety of materials, and must ensure maximum security and safety of stores and hospitals at large. Top management in public hospitals must embrace and attain the required standards of knowledge on matters of inventory control and management. The hospital management and leadership must and should embrace the use of technology to enhance most effective and efficient delivery of services to the public.

Authors: Waruingi Alice Wacera 
Published: October 2024

The purpose of this study was to assess the teaching methods adopted in the implementation of the confirmation curriculum designed to teach catechism classes undertaken by learners in the Anglican Church of Kenya. The population of the study comprised 30 learners already enrolled in the confirmation classes, three evangelists, and five clergies totaling 38. Using purposive sampling five learners were selected from each of the six churches making a total sample size of 30. All five participants from each church were put into focus groups which became units of analysis. The analysis revealed that there was a low level of motivation among the students of the catechism classes to join the main ministries of the Church after the catechism class. They also affirmed that there were inadequate learning materials in all the Churches to support the catechism classes. To enhance the implementation of the curriculum, the research recommended using creative teaching methods which would also involve the learners, and flexible teaching methods among the teachers.

Published: October 2024

The study sought to examine the effect of strategic leadership practices on institutional performance – a case of Christian Bilingual University of Congo. The independent variable of the study includes strategic control, human capital, ethical practices, and balanced strategic control while institutional performance constitutes the dependent variable. The study used a quantitative research design. The accessible population was 32 employees of Christian Bilingual University of Congo. Data was collected using self-administered questionnaires. The study found that human capital development affects institutional performance insignificantly. Christian universities do not achieve their optimal institutional performance. However, Strategic Control promotes Institutional Performance, and the work plans address the organization’s objectives, targets, indicators, strategies, timelines, monitoring, and budget. The study concluded that Christian universities are not carefully evaluating openly the capacity required for their programs, services, and activities. They lack known procedures for selection and prioritization of training components based on the defined assumptions. The study has recommended that the Christian universities in Congo should re-engineer their approach to human capital development so that they may meet their objectives and mission and have qualified and better-equipped people who will move forward as they have the knowledge and they can use it for the advancement of the institution.
