Interpretation of the concept of “supracelestial altar” in St. Nicholas Kabasilas’ doctrine on the Eucharist in the light of his polemics with the Western view of the relationship between establishing words and epiclesis
Authors: Елиманов В.Е. 
Published: May 2024

В своём трактате «Изъяснение Божественной литургии» св. Николай Кавасила сравнивает западно-христианский и восточно-христианский взгляд на проблему отношения установительных слов и эпиклезы. Кавасила фактически обращает взор современных ему латинских богословов XIV в. на многовековую западно-христианскую традицию понимания молитвы «Supplices Te rogamus». Кавасила, по-видимому, не был знаком с этой традицией через латинские источники. Однако в своей интерпретации «Supplices Te rogamus» он во многом следует за ней. Кавасила подтверждает истинность своей интерпретации «Supplices Te rogamus» ссылкой на Псевдо-Дионисия Ареопагита. Для Кавасилы молитва «Supplices Te rogamus» — это ни что иное как эпиклеза, в которой обращение к Богу с просьбой об освящении даров облечено в образную, поэтическую форму. Согласно Кавасиле, в молитве «Supplices Te rogamus» Пренебесный Жертвенник — Сам Христос; Ангел — посредник между Богом и земной Церковью; моление Церкви Богу о вознесении рукою Ангела предложенных даров (хлеб и вино) на Пренебесный Жертвенник — это молитва об их освящении.
In his treatise «The explanation of the divine liturgy», St. Nicholas Cabasilas compares the Western Christian and Eastern Christian view of the problem of the relationship between the instituting words and the epiclesis. Cabasilas actually draws the attention of contemporary Latin theologians of the XIV century to their centuries-old Western Christian tradition of understanding the prayer «Supplices Te rogamus». Cabasilas was apparently not familiar with this tradition through Latin sources. However, in his interpretation of the «Supplices Te rogamus» he follows it in many ways. Cabasilas confirms the veracity of his interpretation of «Supplices Te rogamus» by citing the Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite. For Cabasilas, the prayer «Supplices Te rogamus» is nothing but an epiclesis, in which the prayer to God with a request for the sanctification of gifts is invested in a figurative, poetic form. According to Cabasilas, in the prayer «Supplices Te rogamus» the supracelestial altar is Christ himself; the angel is an intermediary between God and the earthly Church; the Church’s prayer to God about the ascension of the offered gifts (bread and wine) onto the supracelestial altar by the angel᾽s hand is a prayer of their sanctification.

The experiment was carried out at the poultry unit of the teachings and research farm, department of Animal Production, School of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology, Federal University of Technology, Minna to determine the effect of administering Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) as growth promoter to check the performance of broiler chickens at starter phase. 210 day old broiler chicks were used. The birds were randomly allotted to five treatment groups. Each treatment having three replicate with 16 birds. T was the control 1 with no LAB administered, T had LAB administered weekly, T had the probiotic 2 3 administered at one-week interval, T had LAB administered at week 1 and 4. While in T LAB 4 5 was given only once. The birds were fed locally formulated diet irrespective of treatment 6 while the LAB was administered through their drinking water at a concentration of 10 cfu/ml diluted into 4 litres of chlorine-free water at different intervals. At the end of the study, final weight and total weight gain were found to have significant (P<0.05) difference at the starter phase, with T showing much performance. At the end of the study, it was deduced that lactic 4 acid bacteria can conveniently be used to improve performance of broiler chicken at the 6 starter phase when administered at concentration of 10 cfu/ml diluted into 4 litres of chlorine-free water.

L'expérience a été réalisée dans l'unité avicole de la ferme d'enseignement et de recherche, département de production animale, école d'agriculture et de technologie agricole, Université fédérale de technologie de Minna, pour déterminer l'effet de l'administration de bactéries lactiques (LAB) comme promoteur de croissance sur vérifier les performances des poulets de chair lors de la phase de démarrage. Des poussins de chair âgés de 210 jours ont été utilisés. Les oiseaux ont été répartis au hasard dans cinq groupes de traitement. Chaque traitement comporte trois répétitions avec 16 oiseaux. T était le contrôle sans LAB 1 administré, T avait LAB administré chaque semaine, T avait administré le probiotique à 2 3 une semaine d'intervalle, T avait LAB administré aux semaines 1 et 4. Alors qu'en T LAB n'avait été administré qu'une seule fois. Les oiseaux ont été nourris avec un régime formulé localement quel que soit le traitement, tandis que le LAB a été administré dans leur eau de boisson à une concentration de 106 ufc/ml diluée dans 4 litres d'eau sans chlore à différents intervalles. À la fin de l'étude, il a été constaté que le poids final et le gain de poids total présentaient une différence significative (P < 0,05) lors de la phase de démarrage, le T4 montrant de grandes performances. À la fin de l'étude, il a été déduit que les bactéries lactiques peuvent être utilisées de manière pratique pour améliorer les performances des poulets de chair lors de la phase de démarrage lorsqu'elles sont administrées à une concentration de 106 ufc/ml diluées dans 4 litres d'eau sans chlore.

The effects of varying dietary energy levels with same protein level on growth performance, carcass traits and economy of broiler chickens fed straight diets was evaluated. Diets were compounded and labeled diets 1, 2, 3 and 4 with Metabolizable Energy (ME) levels of 2800, 3000, 3200 and 3400 kcal/KgDM, respectively with a constant protein level of 24 %. 120 1- old chicks were randomly allocated to the four dietary treatments with 30 birds per treatment. Each treatment was replicated 3 times and each replicate had 10 birds. The birds were fed experimental diets for 7 weeks. Significant differences (p<0.05) were observed in daily feed intake, energy efficiency ratio, daily ME intake, cost of feed intake/kg body weight gain and % weights of drumstick, shank, breast and wing. The initial body weight, daily body weight gain, final body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, protein efficiency ratio and other carcass traits were similar (p>0.05). It was concluded that feeding broiler chicken with diet containing 2800kcalME/kgDM and 24 % crude protein for 7 weeks gave optimal performance with the least cost of feed intake per Kg body weight gain, least feed conversion ratio and highest gross margin (profit).

Les effets de différents niveaux d'énergie alimentaire avec le même niveau de protéines sur les performances de croissance, les caractéristiques des carcasses et l'économie des poulets de chair nourris avec des régimes simples ont été évalués. Les régimes ont été composés et étiquetés régimes 1, 2, 3 et 4 avec des niveaux d'énergie métabolisable (EM) de 2 800, 3 000, 3 200 et 3 400 kcal/KgMS, respectivement avec un niveau de protéines constant de 24 %. 120 poussins d'un an ont été répartis au hasard entre les quatre traitements alimentaires, à raison de 30 oiseaux par traitement. Chaque traitement a été répété 3 fois et chaque répétition concernait 10 oiseaux. Les oiseaux ont été nourris avec des régimes expérimentaux pendant 7 semaines. Des différences significatives (p <0,05) ont été observées dans la consommation alimentaire quotidienne, le rapport d'efficacité énergétique, la consommation quotidienne d'EM, le coût de la consommation alimentaire/kg de gain de poids corporel et le pourcentage de poids du pilon, du jarret, de la poitrine et de l'aile. Le poids corporel initial, le gain de poids corporel quotidien, le gain de poids corporel final, le taux de conversion alimentaire, le taux d'efficacité protéique et les autres caractéristiques de la carcasse étaient similaires (p > 0,05). Il a été conclu que nourrir des poulets de chair avec un régime contenant 2 800 kcalME/kgMS et 24 % de protéines brutes pendant 7 semaines donnait des performances optimales avec le moindre coût de consommation alimentaire par kg de gain de poids corporel, le plus faible taux de conversion alimentaire et la marge brute (bénéfice) la plus élevée.

Published: May 2024

In this study, we examine the impact of financial resource management on project performance. Projects in Kigali City were poorly implemented due to misappropriation of public funds and insufficient measurement of project performance, especially in subdivisions and surrounding villages, leading to project failure. In directing this research project, two purposes were set: to assess the impact of financial resource management planning on project performance in Kigali City and to examine the impact of financial resource control on project performance in Kigali City. Both financial literacy and resource dependency theories were used, furthermore in order to achieve these objectives, literature was reviewed on the subject matter including definitions of key concepts, conceptual review, theoretical framework, conceptual framework and research gap analysis, additionally the target population of the study was 312 employees of Kigali City and out of them a sample size of 175 employees were selected by using stratified sampling technique. Questionnaires, interview guides and documents were used as data collection tools. Data was processed through editing, coding and tabulation and the data also was analyzed by using descriptive statistics. Findings indicated that there is a significance relationship between financial resources management and City of Kigali’s project performance; and it was found that holding all the financial resources management to a constant zero, project performance of Kigali City will be 30.6 percent, a unit increase in the use of financial resource planning will lead to a 0.731% improvement in project performance in Kigali City, the use of financial resource management will lead to a 1% improvement in project performance in Kigali City. The regression analysis revealed significant coefficients indicating the impact of financial resource management on project performance in Kigali City. With a constant of 0.346, when financial resource management is absent, the project performance is estimated to be 30.6%. For every unit increase in financial resource planning, there is a corresponding 0.731% rise in project performance (Beta = 0.731, t = 6.008, p < 0.001), and similarly, a 1% increase in financial resource control leads to enhanced project performance (Beta = 0.500, t = 2.550, p = 0.025). Notably, financial resource planning exerts the strongest influence on project performance, followed by financial resource control. Both variables demonstrated statistical significance, with p-values of 0.000 and 0.025 respectively, at a 95% confidence level. Thus, all factors examined are deemed significant (p < 0.05). Therefore, based on the findings, the researchers recommend that the public entity Kigali City should continuously ensure that it has financial control expertise to ensure organizational performance.

Published: May 2024

The main objective of the current study was to evaluate the changes in performance (speed) through SAQ training and carbohydrate supplementation of 08 weeks intervention. The study was conducted in the vicinity of Punjab University, Lahore. Participants (n=16) were selected through the inclusion criteria which included elite footballers and the participants were divided into two groups which were groups (A) and (B). Hypotheses of this study were: H0 1 There is no significant difference between the pre-test of group A (speed) and the pre-test of group B (speed). Ha 2 There is a significant difference between the pre-test of group A (speed) and the post-test of group A (speed). Ha 3 There is a significant difference between the pre-test of group B (speed) and the post-test of group B (speed). Ha 4 It is hypothesized that there is a significant difference between training with the Supplementation group (A) and Training without the Supplementation group (B). Group (A) was allowed to follow the 08-week exercise plan (intervention) and carbohydrate supplementation. Only group (B) was allowed to follow the 08-week exercise plan (intervention). Descriptive statistics, means and standard deviations were calculated. The inferential statistics and different tests including paired sample t-test and independent samples t-test were applied to calculate the differences in performance of all studied groups. The data was analyzed and evaluated statistically using Version 22 of IBM SPSS (Statistical Product and Service Solutions) software. The means (with standard deviation) of the speed tests of training with carbohydrate supplementation group (A) and the means (with standard deviation) of the speed tests of training without carbohydrate supplementation group (B) were compared. This study confirms that there was not a significant difference between groups (A) and (B) before training and carbohydrate supplementation. There was a significant difference in speed in, the pre-test of the group (A) compared with the post-test, followed by SAQ Training with carbohydrate supplementation. On the other hand, there was also a significant difference in speed, in the pre-test of group B compared with the post-test, followed by SAQ Training only. The study confirmed that there was a significant change in the speed of footballers' training with carbohydrate supplementation group (A) compared to training without carbohydrate supplementation group (B), after 08 weeks of intervention.

Surgical site infections (SSIs) pose severe burden in healthcare, specially in laparoscopic surgeries. It,s the leading cause of morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. The reason to improve this strategy is to enhance SAP practices for laparoscopic surgery by evaluating different antibiotics prophylaxis. Conducting a thorough examination on the basis of vast studies results in effective SAP implications to rule out laparoscopic surgeries leading to reduce SSI effort and safety of patient. Our research put great significance on customized approaches to SAP. In addition to SAP,various factors such as the kind of procedure, patient-specific risks, antimicrobial resistance and other preventive measures,such as surgical site antiseptics and glycemic control, RCS is also important in preventing SSIs. In addition to SAP, surgical techniques, postoperative care, and stewardship after administration outside the operative suite are needed. High-quality studies in diverse populations and development of standardized SAP protocols are warranted to optimize patient outcomes. To sum up this discussion , this chronological review gives esteemed awareness into improving SAP procedures for laparoscopic surgery. By amalgamating evidence-based guidelines and promoting effective antibiotic management , physicians and surgeons can contribute to reducing SSIs and ameliorate patient safety worldwide.
Electoral Politics: Democracy and Electoral Security in Nigeria
Authors: Idowu Olusegun Oladele 
Published: May 2024

Democracy in Nigeria has been fragile and fluctuating since independence as conflict, triggered by political rivalries, violence, ethnicity, religion and insecurity, poses a major threat to her democracy. The late Nigerian political scientist and theorist, Claude Ake in 1993, warned that external and elite support for electoral democratisation was not the same as actual democracy. He argued that the substitution of democracy for elections had resulted in a struggle for power at the polls by the elite groups. To this end, the incidences of electoral violence, political competition and insecurity have since become a constant nightmare and a serious source of concern to all actors participating in the electoral system. The cornerstone of democracy is the electoral process, with a viable Election Management Board (EMB) that conducts free, fair, open and secured elections. Electoral security is one of the focal points for a successful and effective administration of the electoral process. The electoral process must be geared towards building citizens' confidence, especially by ensuring that votes are cast anonymously and without coercion, while also making sure that election results reflect the collective will of the voters. With the aid of secondary sources of data, using content analysis, the paper concludes that defending elections not only involves protecting voting units and ballots, but also protecting the functions, resources and technologies that support election processes and which help manage voters and election results in Nigeria. In order to protect our electoral politics in Nigeria, there is a need for an effective and secure electoral process, laced with a credible and acceptable outcome. This paper emphasises on security as a crucial condition in the context of elections, such that it assists in establishing an enabling environment that is conducive to holding democratic polls.
