Authors: P. Deepan Chakravarthi  , Dr. S. Alexander  
Published: February 2025

In this research article, the analysis explores into George R.R. Martin's complex combining of historical allegory from the 15th-century The War of the Roses into his epic fantasy, A Clash of Kings. The analysis reveals similarities between important historical characters from Westeros, including Richard III and Henry VII, and shows how the political complexities of real-world inspiration are reflected in the fictional battles of the book. Beyond war scenes, the research highlights the significance of family dynamics in historical and fictional contexts, suggesting parallels between The War of the Roses and the power struggles in the Seven Kingdoms. Additionally, the narrative complexities in A Clash of Kings are examined, highlighting the seamless blending of historical events into the fantasy plot. For instance, the conflict between the Starks and the Lannister’s recalls images of the York’s and Lancaster’s historical struggles (Neubauer 30; Martin 245). Ultimately, this article indicates that Martin's novel serves as a bridge between historical events and the fantastical world of Westeros, providing readers with a rich and engaging experience that goes beyond genre and era conventions.

Abstract: The digital generation, particularly Millennials and Gen Z, faces an identity crisis driven by the influence of digital culture, moral relativism, and a lack of strong spiritual foundations. This crisis results in weakened Christian values in daily life, posing challenges in forming a steadfast identity amid globalization. This study explores how biblical discipleship shapes a strong Christian identity and equips the digital generation to face modern cultural challenges. Using a descriptive qualitative approach based on a literature review, this research analyzes the concept of biblical discipleship and its relevance in shaping spirituality and strengthening the faith resilience of the digital generation. The findings indicate that biblical discipleship, rooted in the teachings and example of Christ, fosters confidence, reinforces identity as children of God, and develops Christian character. Relevant discipleship strategies for the digital era, including the use of digital technology and contextual approaches, are necessary to enhance the effectiveness of church ministry. Furthermore, digital literacy and creative content in communicating the Gospel to young generations play a crucial role in strengthening Christian identity.

Exclusionary Expressive Conduct
Authors: Boso Luke 
Published: February 2025

The First Amendment has become one of the most effective weapons in the conservative movement’s legal assault on progressive public policy and the regulatory state. Although the First Amendment safeguards speech, expressive association, and religious belief, exclusionary conduct is rapidly earning constitutional protection across doctrinal areas.
This Article is the first to examine and critique the inconsistency and bias with which the Supreme Court has responded to expressive conduct claims in each doctrinal area through both a historical and contemporary lens. One theme across doctrinal areas is the Court’s selective use of deference—in evaluating claimants’ assertions regarding the expressive nature of their exclusionary conduct, the expressive nature of an association’s exclusionary policies, or the burden that compliance with civil rights laws would impose on their asserted associational message or religious exercise.
The First Amendment should not be as manipulable as a tool for judges to handpick winners and losers based on favored or disfavored views reflected in the exclusionary expressive conduct, associational practices, or religious practices at issue. In the past, the Supreme Court laid the groundwork for an objective, evidence-based approach for assessing the expressive nature of conduct, the burden of compelled inclusion on an association’s exclusionary interests, and the burden legal compliance would impose on religious exercise. Lower court judges should revive this analytical tradition. The judiciary’s failure to perform that role today in cases primarily involving conservative First Amendment objections to civil rights statutes suggests an ideological agenda that erodes public trust, threatens democratic norms, and dismantles antidiscrimination law. It does not have to be this way.
Influence of Relational Capability on the Performance of Small and Medium-Sized Manufacturing Enterprises in Nairobi City County, Kenya
Authors: Buyiya Roselyn , Mukulu Prof Elegwa , Senelwa Dr Anaya 
Published: February 2025

Small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises (SMEs) play a pivotal role in driving economic growth and fulfilling developmental goals. This study aims to investigate the impact of relational capability on the performance of small manufacturing enterprises within Nairobi City County. Additionally, it explores the moderating role of environmental dynamism on the relationship between technological entrepreneurship and the performance of SMEs in this region of Kenya. The target population for this research comprised 425 SMEs registered with the Kenya Association of Manufacturers in Nairobi City County as of December 31, 2022. A sample size of 135 SMEs was determined using the Nasiurma (2000) model, with a focus on business owners and managers. To ensure representative sampling, the study utilized a proportionate stratified random sampling technique. A pilot study was conducted to evaluate the research instrument's reliability and validity; internal consistency was measured using Cronbach’s coefficient alpha, and expert consultations enhanced the questionnaire's content and face validity. Data analysis and interpretation were carried out using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26. The analysis included multiple linear regression to assess the relationship between independent and dependent variables, alongside an F-test to evaluate the overall significance of the research model and its components. The findings indicated a significant relationship between relational capability (X4) and the performance of SMEs, supported by regression model results (F (1, 118) = 84.885, p-value = 0.000), which confirmed that relational capability is a valid predictor within the model. Consequently, this study concludes that relational capability substantially influences the performance of small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises in Nairobi City County, Kenya.In light of these findings, the research recommends that the Micro and Small Enterprises Authority, as the regulatory body for SMEs, develop a legal and regulatory framework that recognizes and supports these enterprises. This framework should facilitate easier licensing, supervision, and the adoption of standardized processes and procedures drawn from sector-wide guidelines. Furthermore, preferential treatment should be afforded to SMEs to promote their growth and enable their transition to more established manufacturing entities, a mandate that aligns with the objectives of the Kenya Association of Manufacturers Lastly, it is recommended that SMEs prioritize the establishment of robust customer relationships through effective customer relationship management to ensure long-term business

Published: February 2025

Purpose: Smartphone use and craniovertebral angle (CVA) have been linked to neck pain in adolescents. However, the multifactorial contributors to neck pain remain unclear. Identifying its predictors is essential for informing preventive strategies. This study investigated smartphone use, craniovertebral angle, and other factors as predictors of neck pain in school-aged adolescents.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
Place and Duration of Study: Sample: six public high schools from the state education network in Pernambuco, Brazil, under the jurisdiction of the Education Department of Pernambuco.
Methodology: Adolescents (14-19 years), were divided into neck pain (69, 62,7%) and no pain (41, 37,3%). They completed a questionnaire on smartphone use and musculoskeletal symptoms. Pain was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale and the Neck Disability Index, while physical activity was evaluated with the IPAQ short version. CVA was analyzed using CorelDraw software. Binomial logistic regression was performed to identify predictors of neck pain, reporting odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). The model’s explanatory power was assessed using Nagelkerke’s R², which estimates the proportion of variance in neck pain explained by the predictors.
Results: Excessive smartphone use (>4 hours/day) was a predictor of neck pain (OR = 5.06, p = 0.001), along with a smaller craniovertebral angle (OR = 0.90, p = 0.023) and upper limb musculoskeletal symptoms (OR = 3.18, p = 0.014). Tablet possession was associated with lower odds of neck pain (OR = 0.37, p = 0.046). The model explained 17.6% of the variance in neck pain ( R² = 0.176).
Conclusion: Excessive smartphone use, a smaller craniovertebral angle, and upper limb musculoskeletal symptoms were predictors of neck pain in adolescents, highlighting the need for preventive strategies to reduce modifiable risk factors.
The reception of William Paley's Natural Theology
in the University of Cambridge
Authors: FYFE AILEEN 
Published: July 2002

In order to pass the BA examination, it was, also, necessary to
get up
Paley's Evidences of
Christianity, and his Moral Philosophy. This was done
in a thorough manner, and I am convinced
that I could have written out the whole of the Evidences
with perfect correctness, but not of course
in the clear language of Paley. The logic of this book and, as I may add,
of his Natural Theology gave
me as much delight as did Euclid. The careful study of these works,
without attempting to learn any
part by rote, was the only part of the Academical Course which, as I
then felt and as I still believe,
was of the least use to me in the education of my mind.Charles DarwinAutobiographyOne of the books Charles Darwin read at Cambridge University was
William Paley's
Natural Theology (1802). Many scholars have assumed that this
was a set text at the university in the early nineteenth century.
However, a study of the examination papers of
the university, and contemporary memoirs, autobiographies and correspondence,
reveals
no evidence that this was so, though it did appear in some of the
college examinations.
This contrasts with other books by Paley which did appear for many years
in both
university and college examinations. This paper uses the misapprehension
about Paley's text as a starting point to investigate the role
of natural theology in a Cambridge education
in the first three decades of the nineteenth century.
Effect of sward cutting management on the relative
performance of perennial ryegrass varieties
Authors: GILLILAND T. J. , MANN R. L. 
Published: July 2002

The performance potentials of six perennial ryegrass varieties for conservation or grazing use were
compared between 1994 and 1996 in N. Ireland. They were maintained, either under constant lax
defoliation (conservation) or constant severe defoliation (simulated grazing) management for 3 years,
or annually alternated between these two managements with the changeover taking place either in
autumn or at the first cut of the following year. Starting one set with lax defoliation in the first year
and the other with severe defoliation created duplicates of these two alternating treatments. The
results showed that variety yield differed depending on the season and the management imposed and
there were differential responses to the various treatments. Conducting an alternating management
system that implemented the management change in autumn provided a valid estimate of yield
performance potential for both simulated grazing and conservation use, compared to constant
management systems. Although significant differences in variety ranking between lax defoliation and
severe defoliation management yields were only observed in the third year, the study showed that if
the management change was implemented in autumn, the yield potential of varieties in the following
year was not affected by the preceding year's management regime. Leaving a longer sward (6 cm) to
over-winter increased the spring performance of the varieties in some years, compared to a shorter
sward (3 cm), which may have implications for grazing management. There were also indications that
imposing an alternating management system might alter the absolute magnitude of the sward density
ratings relative to a constantly managed system, though variety rankings would remain unaffected.It was concluded that the current alternating management testing system used to evaluate
candidate varieties for UK National or regional recommended lists, does not cause any variety to be
unfairly advantaged or disadvantaged.
