Authors: Saad Magdi Hassan 
Published: October 2022

This work deals with applying X-ray fluorescence spectrometry to detect trace elements in bread samples. The intensities of the lines of these trace elements, as a function of concentration, were measured to establish the sensitivity of the spectrometer. The result obtained that the two peak energies found 3.31 KeV and 13.47 KeV are energies of the Kα peak of K2O and Br respectively. The results obtained that the highest element and compound concentrations in all samples are Nb (11.05–1971.97) ppm and K2O (6.5–51.932) ppm respectively, while the least element and compound concentrations in all samples are Zr (0.34–934.0) ppm and MnO (1.10–14.790) ppm, respectively.
The Triple Bottom Line and Church Sustainability in Kenya
Authors: Muriithi Peter Njiru , Mwanthi Titus , Chiroma Nathan 
Published: October 2022

The religion of Christianity was firmly established in Kenya by European missionaries in AD 1844 and since then, it has grown to be the religion for 85.5% of the population. After Kenya gained political independence in AD 1964, numerous Christian denominations have established church congregations in all parts of the country and the competition for congregation members is high. The Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) and other mainline churches are experiencing declining congregations due to the entry of the Pentecostal churches but the earlier Pentecostal churches are also experiencing the same phenomenon due to the new denominations which are being established in all parts of the country. This paper examines how the church can retain its relevance and sustainability in the country by operationalizing the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) model to gain and retain its congregations. The model approaches sustainability by considering an organization’s social, economic, and environmental strategies. These are what made the early missionaries to penetrate the African market as they established schools, technical and agriculture training institutions and health centers. At their schools and churches, they taught about the need to live in a clean environment and set an example with their church compounds. This paper discusses how the TBL is operationalized in the ACK to resolve the declining phenomenon.
Justification of the Partition in The Weary Generations and Cracking India: An Alternative Pakistani Perspective
Authors: Joshi Dipak Raj 
Published: October 2022

This paper analyzes selected partition novels in the light of affect theory in order to demonstrate how Pakistani writers counter the Indian mainstream nationalist line and offer alternative revisionary perspectives on independence that also led to partition violence. The affective subjectivity of the writers—Abdullah Hussein (The Weary Generations) and Bapsi Sidhwa (Cracking India)—discredits the mainstream Indian historiography, valorization of the independence struggle, and trivialization of partition issues. The notable affects highlighted in the novels are those of love, hatred, happiness, unhappiness, and rage. One positive affect in favor of one at the same time invites the opposite affect for the other. The paper concludes that the affects evoked in the abovementioned novels are ethically tilted to the notions of community and nationhood of the respective writers—an ideologically biased orientation that results in prose of demonization and an open declaration of evil on whom they consider the other.
Religious Moderation Based on Value of Theology: A Qualitative Sociological Study in Islamic Boarding Schools (Pesantren) in Southeast Sulawesi Indonesia
Authors: Ipandang  , Iqbal Muhammad , Khasmir  
Published: October 2022

The article focused on the study of religious moderation based on values of moderation in three Islamic boarding schools (Pesantren) in Southeast Sulawesi, namely Pesantren al-Muhajirin Darussalam Konawe, Pesantren Ummu Sabri Kendari, and Pesantren Darul Mukhlisin Kendari. Therefore, a qualitative approach was used with a case study design -the techniques of collecting data used in interviews, participatory observations, field notes, and documentation. Data analysis in this article was done using interactive data analysis by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. This study found that the construction of religious moderation in the pesantren emerged from the basis of religious textual-scriptural combined with the performance of rationality (reason). This combination emerges to a dialogical pattern of harmony between the text and the context to color the behavior and social actions of the community. Precisely this attitude of religious moderation can prevent residents of Islamic boarding schools from behaving radically both in attitude and thought, so the outputs of pesantren can accept all forms of differences in religion and respect the beliefs believed by others in the community. This attitude of religious moderation in the pesantren also emerges in religious behavior that is tolerant and respectful of differences in society.

Recursos digitales y el rol del diseñador
Authors: Martínez Martínez Héctor Fernando 
Published: October 2022

El impacto que ha generado las tecnologías contemporáneas en los procesos y resultados del diseño, transforma y trastoca su naturaleza; ahora, pueden verse diferentes posibilidades de comunicación en el lenguaje visual: libros digitales, realidad aumentada, websites, tiendas virtuales, internet de las cosas, etc. Por otro lado, los fenómenos de comunicación en la sociedad implican nuevos ecosistemas mediáticos colaborativos que permiten y buscan otorgar una experiencia significativa a los usuarios, en palabras de Rodríguez & Martínez (2019) afirman que “estos nuevos fenómenos sociales han revelado también sistemas de comunicación en comunidad, representados por grupos de chat en la red social WhatsApp, en los que la comunicación es impersonal, pero todos los individuos participan activamente puesto que siguen objetivos similares.“ (pág. 342)
Las sociedades contemporáneas usan la tecnología para comunicar, recolectar, distribuir e intercambiar información en una gran red que parece ser infinita; lo que antes requería de mayor tiempo y trabajo, hoy se ha simplificado pensando en economizar tiempos y esfuerzos, antes inimaginables.

Authors: Abbas Ruaa Kadhim , Hussein Boushra Youssif 
Published: October 2022

In this work, we introduce a new convergence formula. We also define cluster point , δ-Cauchy sequence, δ-convergent, δ-completeness , and define sequentially contraction in approach space. In addition, we prove the contraction condition is necessary and sufficient to get the function is sequentially contraction as well as we put a new structure for the norm in the approach space which is called approach –Banach space, we discuss the normed approach space with uniform condition is a Hausdorff space. Also, we prove a normed approach space is complete if and only if the metric generated from approach space is complete as well as prove every finite –dimensional approach normed space is δ-complete. We prove several results and properties in this field.

Published: October 2022

In project management process, the objective is to define and develop a model for planning, scheduling, controlling, and monitoring different activities of a particular project. Time scheduling plays an important role in successful implementation of various activities and general outcome of project. In practice, various factors cause projects to suffer from time delay in accomplishing the activities. One important reason is imprecise knowledge about time duration of activities. This study addresses the problem of project scheduling in uncertain resource environments, which are defined by uncertain activity durations. The study presents a solution of the levelling and allocation problems for projects that have some uncertain activities. The resources are minimised using resource levelling based on a proposed heuristic algorithm with limited duration. The algorithm performs the resource scheduling (levelling and allocation) for minimum moments. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is indicated by the resource improvement coefficient and rate of resource utilisation.

Authors: Mhammad Husni Abdulla , Najeeb Malika Kassim , Jubrail Amad M. Saleh 
Published: October 2022

In this study, the attention was focused on the protective role of seeds oil from local Onopordum acanthium L. (cotton thistle) against tissues damage in the liver, kidney and spleen in male albino rats. Forty adult male rats were randomly divided into four equal groups including control group, rats were treated orally with seeds oil (0.5ml/kg), carbon tetrachloride (CCL4) injected group, and last group was intoxicated with CCL4 and daily treated with seed oil (0.5ml/kg). After four weeks of the experiment, rats were anaesthetized and blood was taken directly by cardiac puncture for the evaluation of studied parameters. Samples of liver, kidneys and spleen were fixed in 10% formalin for histological studies.
From the obtained results, no significant changes were seen in the estimated parameters in the group treated with oil only. In the group injected with CCL4 and treated with oil extract, the level of serum lipids, liver enzymes, total serum bilirubin (TSB), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cells (WBCs) were significantly reduced in comparison with untreated CCL4 intoxicated group. The toxicity of CCL4 on the level of fasting blood sugar (FBS), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), renal function parameters, hemoglobin and body weight were ameliorated with seeds oil. These effective roles were further supported by the histopathological improvement of the liver, kidney and spleen tissues of rats against CCl4. Conclusion: from the results of this study, it can be concluded that the extracted oil from local Iraqi Onopordum acanthium L. seeds reduced the tissue damages with an improvement of biochemical, hematological and immunological parameters during the four weeks of the experiment.
