Los manuscritos del segundo comentario a génesis de Abraham ibn ʿEzra en el contexto de la censura en la Italia del siglo XVI
Authors: Luis Cobreros M.ª Goretti 
Published: February 2024

El segundo comentario a Génesis es un trabajo incompleto exegético-gramatical escrito en Ruán por el erudito andalusí Abraham ibn ʿEzra. A diferencia de su primer comentario compuesto en Lucca, de esta obra se conocen hasta el momento tan solo seis manuscritos de entre los siglos XIV y XVII, tres de los cuales han sido censurados. Los códices que contienen el texto censurado fueron elaborados en Italia durante el período de la Contrarreforma en el que la literatura hebrea fue supervisada por la Iglesia Católica. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la presencia de censura interna y externa en los manuscritos del Segundo Comentario del Génesis de Ibn ʿEzra en el contexto de la producción textual hebrea del siglo XVI en Italia. Además, este trabajo intentará establecer una posible relación entre el contenido de las secciones perdidas y el llamado Sefer ha-Ziqquq, el Index Librorum Prohibitorum más importante de los libros hebreos escrito por el rabino apóstata Domenico Yĕrušalmi, cuya firma se encuentra en los códices.
Client’s Experiences on Skilled Delivery Services among Women of Reproductive Age in Rural Communities in Kenya
Authors: Gachathi Daniel Muya , Makworo Drusilla , Mwenda Catherine 
Published: February 2024

Background: Globally Skilled delivery services are critical aspects to combat Maternal and neonatal mortality. In Kenya, skilled deliveries account for 62% of all deliveries; unskilled deliveries pose a higher risk of maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity. The maternal mortality ratio in Kenya is currently 462 per thousand live births, with 40% of these deaths occurring at home. The main objective of the study was to explore the experiences of women of reproductive age on skilled delivery services.
Materials And Methods: The baseline study was conducted between November 2022 and January 2023. It employed a cross-sectional research design involving 347 women of reproductive age. The study aimed to examine their current practices, challenges, and experiences with skilled delivery services. Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) were conducted with 48 recently delivered women (within one year), as well as with 48 Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) and 10 Community Extension Workers (CHEWs). In-depth interviews were also held with local health facility administrators. Quantitative data analysis was performed using SPSS version 25.0. Measures of central tendency were employed for continuous data tabulation. The analyzed data was then presented through charts, tables, and frequencies. The qualitative data underwent thematic arrangement and analysis using NVIVO version 13 and then triangulated with descriptive data.
Results: The results revealed that (90.6%) of women's previous childbirth experiences influenced their utilization of skilled birth attendance services in subsequent pregnancies. Women who had never given birth in health facilities or had chosen home births were less likely to utilize skilled birth attendance services.
Conclusion and Recommendations: This study identified factors influencing skilled birth attendance use in Kandara SubCounty, highlighting the role of previous childbirth experiences, health facility-related factors, and danger signs during pregnancy. To improve utilization, interventions should focus on health facility conditions, health worker attitudes, and community awareness programs.

Published: February 2024

Introduction: Increased utilisation of Antenatal Care (ANC) and delivery with a skilled birth attendant helps to prevent or effectively manage the majority of complications of pregnancy and delivery. This will improve the maternal mortality ratio nationally and globally. This study assessed the choice of healthcare facilities for ANC, child delivery services and satisfaction with the care received by mothers of infants attending child immunization clinics at selected Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) in Lagos, Nigeria.
Materials/Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among mothers who attended antenatal care (ANC) in a health facility during pregnancy, delivered at the same facility, and brought their infants for immunization at the selected PHCs in Lagos, Nigeria. A total of 355 respondents were recruited from the five selected PHCs. Data were collected with an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were conducted and the level of significance (p) was set at less than or equal to 5% (p≤0.05).
Results: Less than half of the respondents 170 (47.9%) registered for ANC in the first trimester, 206 (58.0%) of the respondents utilised private hospitals only while very few 55 (15.5%) utilised PHCs for ANC and delivery. Most of the respondents (59.1%) had between 9 to 15 ANC visits during pregnancy, with a mean attendance of 11.3 ± 4.7. Some of the reasons given for the choice of ANC and delivery centre by the respondents were quality service 325 (91.6%), availability of skilled healthcare staff 276 (77.7%), clean environment 236 (66.5%), and good staff attitude 234 (65.9%) among others. The majority of the respondents 349 (98.3%) were satisfied with the overall care received in the health facilities utilised for ANC and delivery services during pregnancy. Statistically significant associations were found between respondents’ monthly income, spousal’s level of education, enrolment in health insurance scheme and the choice of health facility used for ANC and delivery (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Continuous health educational programs are recommended for women of reproductive age and their spouses on the benefits and importance of antenatal care in pregnancy at healthcare facilities and skilled birth attendants at delivery. Improved funding for government hospitals may enhance public trust in healthcare facilities and increase utilization.
The Quest for Cultural Renaissance in Wole Soyinka’s <i>Childe Internationale and Alápatá Àpáta</i>
Authors: Afolayan Kayode Niyi 
Published: February 2024

Critics of Wole Soyinka’s works have always identified the cultural impulses of his Yoruba origin in his dramaturgy. This engagement can be segmented into slants that seek a renaissance of his culture through his use of its tropes to intervene in the social malaises mirrored in his works and through a commitment that seeks the survival of his culture in the postcolonial milieus. This paper focuses on Soyinka’s engagement with the subject of cultural renaissance through a postcolonial reading of Childe Internationale and Alápatá Àpáta. While underscoring Soyinka’s commitment to the survival of his culture in the hybridised contexts presented in the plays, the paper points out that Soyinka’s dominant discussions on cultural renaissance have been primarily associated with his ‘Children plays’. The paper exhibits some of the critical aspects of culture that the playwright has isolated to validate his quest for a cultural renaissance. The paper’s conclusion gives accreditation to the playwright’s concerns about the dwindling fortunes of his Yoruba culture and language but doubts if there is any remedy in sight on account of some other overwhelming adverse social conditions in the plays.
Comparing the effectiveness of thrower’s specific exercise program with regular warm-up program in recreational cricket bowlers
Authors: Timothy P. S. , Subramanian S. 
Published: February 2024

INTRODUCTION: Thrower’s Ten program is a thrower-specific workout program that increases upper-extremity strength, power, and endurance, especially in overhead athletes. The study compares the thrower's ten-exercise program to the regular warm-up program in recreational cricket bowlers' posterior capsule tightness, internal rotator strength, upper extremity stability, and explosive power.
METHODS: Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 82 recreational cricket bowlers were divided into experimental (n=41) and control (n=41) groups. The experimental group received Thrower's ten warm-up programs three times a week for six weeks, along with the standard warm-up. Control maintained its warm-up routine. Before and after six weeks, participants were tested for shoulder internal rotator strength, posterior capsule tightness, stability, and explosive power. SPSS software was used to calculate outcome measures mean, standard deviation, independent t-test, and paired t-test.
RESULTS: After six weeks, all outcome measures exhibited a significant difference (p<0.05) within the experimental group, whereas none of the outcome measures depicted a significant difference (p>0.05) within the control group. A significant difference (p<0.05) was seen between the groups for post-test strength and upper extremity stability measures. However, a non-significant difference (p>0.05) was noted between groups for posterior capsule tightness and upper extremity explosive power.
CONCLUSION: Compared to the usual warm-up program used by recreational cricket bowlers, the thrower’s customized warm-up routine is more successful in improving internal rotator strength and upper extremity stability. Both warm-up programs enhance posterior capsule tightness and upper extremity explosive power.
Negative Effects of Pollen Drought Stress on Floral Volatiles, Floral Nectar, Pollinator Behavior, and Seed Production in Ocimum basilicum Plants
Authors: Nayab Naira , Alam Md Anzer 
Published: February 2024

Ocimum basilicum is an aromatic plant belonging to the family of Lamiaceae. Many biotic and abiotic factors particularly drought stress influences its reproduction. Drought stress can harm the pollen grains of O. basilicum plants and disrupt the production of floral volatiles, reduce floral rewards for pollinators, decrease pollinator activity, and ultimately result in a decline in the seed set. These detrimental impacts highlight the importance of sufficient pollen availability for the successful reproduction and survival of plant species. The reproduction in plants is significantly impacted by drought stress, as it can directly or indirectly alter the attraction of pollinators. In this study, the effect of drought stress in O. basilicum plants was investigated by comparing drought- with no drought-stressed plants in order to examine various elements including: (1) nectar quantity and quality (2) pollen production (3) flower volatile emissions (4) pollinator visitation rates from both domesticated and wild species, and (5) the plant’s' reproductive outcomes, which contributes to the knowledge of the relationship between drought stress and pollination on O. basilicum. The planting was done in two different locations within the Saran division of Bihar state in India, first one is Chapra town and second one is Siwan town, in June 2019. The result indicated that plants with drought conditions, in contrast to drought free plants, produced a reduced quantity of pollen and had a decrease of the number of flowers and the volume of nectar produced per flower. Furthermore, drought affected plants produced nectar with a lower percentage of sucrose in relation to the total sugar content. Bees visiting rate was low compared to control plants and plants emitted more Z-3-hexenol, C4H8O, C5H10O, and Isovaleraldehyde. Moreover, this study utilized HPLC analysis to investigate the impact of drought stress on the floral nectar of O. basilicum plants. The findings revealed significant changes in nectar composition, highlighting the susceptibility of plantpollinator interactions and seed production to environmental stress factors.

Poverty and Social Exclusion in Kenya
Authors: Ng’ang’a Pius , Zikhali Precious 
Published: February 2024

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to estimate the population at risk of social exclusion in Kenya. Specifically, the study aims to assess the extent of poverty as a dimension of social exclusion; provide poverty estimates for various sub-populations and vulnerable groups; develop a methodology for analyzing social exclusion at the national level; and estimate the number of socially excluded individuals at both national and regional (rural/urban) levels.
Methodology: This study will adopt the methodology developed by Cuesta et al. (2022) and apply a conceptual framework based on Sen's capability approach. This framework will consider the relative, multidimensional, and dynamic aspects of exclusion, identifying specific vulnerable groups based on their identity, circumstances, and socio-economic conditions. The analysis will utilize micro-counting measures from individual-level microdata to estimate the proportion of the population at risk of social exclusion.
Findings: Nationally, 36.1% of the population were absolute poor. A higher proportion (40.1%) of population living in rural areas are poor compared to 29.1 % of population living in urban areas. Based on identities, almost half (48.3%) of the population from religious minority are poor. Persons with disability are also likely to be poor compared to any other group. 45.7% of persons living with disability are poor. Nationally, 16.6 million people are at risk of social exclusion. This represent 36.6% of the total population (close to headcount overall poverty rate of 36.1%). Children account for the largest share of at risk of exclusion. More than half (9.2 million) children are at risk of exclusion. Children, women and poor men account for 97% of at risk of exclusion groups.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: understanding the concept of social exclusion and poverty will assist policy makers and other stakeholders develop policies and strategies aimed at to creating a society where social inclusion is at the forefront, ensuring that no one is marginalized or left behind due to poverty or other forms of exclusion. This inclusive approach will contribute to equitable and sustainable economic growth, benefiting the entire population and fostering a more just and cohesive society.
Effect of Three Different Nitrogen Rates and Three Rhizosphere N2- Fixing Bacteria on Growth, Yield and Quality of Peanuts
Authors: Chuong Nguyen Van 
Published: February 2024

Raising prices of organic fertilizers, environmental relation of their usage and need for global foodstuff, placed a topic of universal interest in cultivation of legume plants for human nutrients and soil fertility supplementation. Three rates of N fertilizer were studied in the field: 0, 20 and 40 kg N/ha. Three bacterial strains were identified and inoculated in the experiment: Enterobacter asburiae (E. asburiae), Klebsiella quasipneumoniae (K. quasipneumoniae) and Enterobacter cloacae (E. cloacae). The soil samples were taken before and after experiment for chemical attributes analysis. The effect of N2 fertilizer and 3 bacterial strains was on soil chemical properties, yield components and yield of peanut plant. The results of present study showed that application of different N2 fertilizer rates was a little influence on the N2-fixing ability of rhizosphere bacteria, but high effect was significant at the peanut nodule number. In the 3 N fertilizer rates and 3 bacteria, which only had N2 fertilizer rate of 40 kg N/ha and E. asburiae significantly raised the maximum yield component and yield of peanut, while there was the lowest yield component and yield of peanut was observed in N fertilizer rate application of 0 kg N/ha and E. cloacae inoculation. The differences in rhizosphere bacterium strains between different N fertilizer rates was better than that caused by the nitrogen fertilizer amount. This could be due to the substantial improvement in soil chemical attributes at different soils, especially in, pH, OM and total N, as these significantly impacted the soil structure.
HIGHLIGHTS

Increasing pH, organic matter and total nitrogen of soil were statistically significantly different by 3 N2 fertilizer rates.
There is a positive interaction between nitrogen rates and RNFB increasing yield of peanut.
Number and weight of peanut nodules obtained the maximum value without applying N2 application compare to other treatments.
The maximum yield components of peanut were inoculated with asburiae to compare with K. quasipneumoniae and E. cloacae and applied weight of 40 kg N/ha.
The maximum yield of peanut was inoculated with asburiae to compare with K. quasipneumoniae and E. cloacae.

Published: February 2024

Microplastics are everywhere and may be harmful to the biota environment. This study investigated microfiber contamination in giant freshwater prawn tissues, one of Thailand’s economic species. The prawn samples were taken from the Trang River in southern Thailand in September 2022. Three tissue sections (head, middle, and tail) of 60 prawns were studied and the samples were digested with 10 % potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution. We utilized a stereomicroscope to study the microplastics and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) to determine the types of polymer. There were 3.50 ± 0.34 microfibers in the head per 5 g weight, 2.87 ± 0.29 per 5 g weight in the middle, and 3.10 ± 2.28 per 5 g weight in the tail. Fiber appearance is obvious, the predominant color is blue, the most common size is in the range of 101-500 µm, and the polymer type found is cotton rayon polypropylene (PP). The correlation analysis of microfiber content (in the stomach and intestine), carapace length, abdomen length, stomach weight, and body weight in giant freshwater prawns was not correlated with tissue microfiber content (p > 0.01). It was found that the number of microplastics in giant freshwater prawns was not significantly different (p > 0.05) among the 3 sections of prawn tissue (head tissue, middle tissue, and tail tissue).
HIGHLIGHTS

Digestion of prawns with KOH 10 %
Microplastic contamination was discovered in giant freshwater prawn tissues
Fiber shape was most found in giant freshwater prawns
The polymer type discovered is cotton rayon polypropylene
