In the Covid-19 Regime – What Role Intellectual Society Can Play

The contemporary world is in very difficult trajectory. As a matter of fact, the Humanity is in crisis and in challenge. The scholarly world is also kind of traumatized. We all are scared due to uncertainty created by the Corona Pandemic. Covid-19 pandemic has created great uncertainty humanity has ever faced and its impact is everywhere, over the economy, employment, finances, relationships, and physical and mental health as well as in social equilibrium. When there is crisis, it is normal to lose patience, perseverance and the mental strength, and also there is always a chance of hopelessness. As such we live in hope and hope creates the motivation to move ahead. Motivation creates inner power to human heart as well as in the human brain. The current crisis has direct impact to all of us and we are in the crisis of humanity, and even crisis is hope as well as crisis of motivation. Our regular thinking pattern is deeply disturbed, our regular living style is altered, our all collegial circles are under confusion and also in suspicious condition within and beyond. When there is a direct hit on human brain due to uncertainty and fear, it raises direct pain in the deep-thinking pattern and when there is danger around us, we may begin to think everything differently. At present our condition is instable therefore, our creativeness, is disturbed, and the established notion of research, development, innovation and contribution to the society at large is also in danger cloud.

Horses for courses. The roles of IPE and Global Public Policy in global energy research

ABSTRACT Although IPE and GPP overlap conceptionally and empirically, there is a case for keeping GPP and IPE analytically distinct. To simplify: GPP tells us why we need international regimes for energy, while IPE tells us why we only have incomplete ones. Although many scholars draw on both sets of literatures, the two approaches to the study of energy market, regulation and politics entail asking different types of questions based on distinct theories and assumptions. The central propositions in this article are that i) in a rapidly changing world of energy scholars from both camps need to be aware of and open to insights from the other school; ii) that the distinction between market-focused liberal scholars on one hand and security-oriented or realist scholars on the other is increasingly important; and iii) that although IPE and GPP scholars can fruitfully accommodate insights from each others literature, the two approaches to the study of energy policy are best valued by their own analytical contribution – even as we grapple with new, cross-cutting issues such as the geopolitics and geo-economics of global energy transitions.

A brave one-legged general: The story of Mau Mau General, Kassam Gichimu Njogu

This article sets out to demonstrate the role of the ‘one-legged devil’ (as the colonialists called Patrick Gichimu Njogu), also called General Kassam. Kassam was one of the pioneer generals of the Mau Mau, a guerrilla movement that operated from the central Kenya forests as they participated in the war of liberation from the early 1950s to the early 1960s. Was Kassam a one-legged general from the word go? Methodologically speaking, the article is partially based on interviews conducted with the general before his death at the age of 89 in 2011. Being an insider, Kassam helped to give an in-depth understanding of the Mau Mau war of independence by relating the role of the Kavirondo people of western Kenya in Mau Mau historiography. Were they enticed by the colonial government to abandon the idea of the armed struggle as a way of writing off colonialism? Or did the Kavirondo (western Kenya) embrace the theology of non-violence (and pacifism) and eventually left the central Kenya group to battle it alone? Or were the people of western Kenya dissuaded to take part in the struggle by the Christian ‘gospel of love’ that abhorred violence, leading to abandoning their colleagues from central Kenya at the last minute? Theoretically speaking, the article is largely informed by John Walton’s theory of reluctant rebels. Walton argues that rebels are always incited by the leading elites in a society that undergoes war or civil war at any given time in history.Contribution: The article contributes to growing knowledge by discussing the Mau-Mau Movement in Kenya’s quest for freedom, from the 1950s to early 1960s, to demonstrate the religious role of armed conflicts in Africa. In this case, General Kassam, a baptised Anglican Christian, whose loyalty to the ancestral pantheons drove him to the quasi-religious war of independence, is the key subject in this article. In this war of independence in Kenya, a seeming conflict between African religion and Christian religion appears as a key emerging issue. The article is relevant to the HTS Journal and the world of scholarship because it is a theo-anthropocentric piece of work which deals with God, creation, and inevitable human conflicts – all of which have answers before God.

The ethos of the periphery

In the scholarly world where disembodied language and intellectualism reign, Kaustavi Sarkar, a dancing archive, performs embodied epistemologies. Even in her native Odissi dance discipline, Sarkar works from the margin as a questioner and an experimenter in a codified practice that values obedience and tradition. It is from this periphery that Sarkar develops a unique ethos of traditional dance that turns the conservatism of classical forms to open-layered intracultural and intercultural dance dialogues through dance.

Municipal Cybersecurity: More Work Needs to be Done

As governments have digitized their operations, they have opened themselves to cyberattacks, resulting in harmful disruptions to government services. The scholarly world has been slow to pick up on this growing risk. Professional associations have conducted studies of their own, and produced recommendations, but few scholars have looked closely at cybersecurity practices at the municipal level. The interconnectedness of local infrastructure—across and among agencies and levels of government—makes it hard to figure out what is happening. In this paper, we urge scholars from multiple disciplines to examine the dangers created by the cross-linkages that characterize local cybersecurity. We examine the existing academic research, and demonstrate the significant growth in cybersecurity practice that has cropped up in spite of the relative sparsity of academic work. Theory and practice need to catch up with each other.

The Impact of Undergraduate Research Journals on the Scholarly World: Present but Small

Background: Undergraduate research journals are a popular mechanism for inducting students into research, communication, and publication facets of academia. A thematic review of 17 review papers found little evidence for journal impact. Methods: A scoping review identified 91 journals. A systematic search identified the journal website, its International Standard Serial Number (if any), its citation rate on Google Scholar, its start year and end year (if applicable). Results: Seventy-five journals had both a Google Scholar h-index and a discoverable start year. Sixty-eight had been cited one or more times. The median h-index was 2, mode was h = 1, and the average h-index = 4.38. Correlation with start year was not statistically significant, neither was content field of journals. Conclusions: Surprisingly, almost all currently published journals have been cited at least once, showing that undergraduate research journals have some impact on the scholarly world. Further analyses are suggested to examine career impact of publication on students and faculty.

Karubiu wa Munyi and the making of modern Kirinyaga, Kenya

The article sets out to explore the lessons that can be drawn from the selfless and integrity-driven leadership offered by some pioneer post-independent Kenyan leaders such as Karubiu wa Munyi. With more financial scandals increasing in the public domains, as in the case where over 15 mega corruption scandals remained unaccounted for, by 2018, the need to draw some lessons from the likes of wa Munyi becomes an important matter worth consideration in the 21st century. As we seek to demolish both colonial mentality and neo-colonialism in the 21st century, there is a need to reconstruct the memories of some of our key actors in our African societies, as we seek to rebuild our respective contexts. Having lived under deadly and complicated theo-historical times, but eventually overcame hunger and famine, war, colonial bombs and general poverty, the article hypothesises, he stands out on a pedestal and remains a critical reflective case for masses of people who are walking through the valleys and shadows of death in Africa and beyond. In its methodology, the article develops mainly from the researchers’ interviews with wa Munyi who is eventually chronicled, as it seeks to ascertain whether there are lessons to draw from his ‘philanthropic’ and integrity-driven leadership. Was the virtue-driven leadership of Karubiu wa Munyi a by-product of Africa’s Ubuntu [caring for the other] cultural heritage and the evangelical Anglican Christianity that settled in his locality since 1912? And has the society lost its cultural morality and the virtue-leaning evangelical Christianity that was ushered in by the Church Mission Society at the beginning of the 20th century? In this article, Gitugi kia bururi [the critical cornerstone] – the casual description of wa Munyi – symbolises the ideal leaders who remain at peace with themselves and the general society even after retiring from active public duties; as their respective consciences are above board. Africa has to take lessons from such selfless leaders. The materials in this article are gathered through interviews with wa Munyi and other people who are connected to issues under consideration. A review of relevant literature has also been done. Contribution: The article adds to the growing knowledge by its originality; a phenomenon where a little-known civic leader (Karubiu wa Munyi) is used as a lens through which we can understand the modern day Africa. Has the continent that sought independence from the colonialists who came after the Berlin Conference of 15 November 1884 to 26 February 1885 recolonising itself through neo-colonialism and corrupt practices of unimaginable proportions? The article is relevant to the HTS Journal and the world of scholarship as it shows God’s works in history, as it confirms that a people who walk through the desolate valleys and shadows of death, and are starring at the total annihilation, do also have a future.

Die Taten des Petrus und der Zwölf Apostel (NHC VI,1)

The Nag Hammadi Codices were discovered in 1945. After a long wait, a facsimile edition was published just after the translation into English (James M. Robinson, The Nag Hammadi Library, 1977), so, despite the delay, “The Acts of Peter and the Twelve Apostles” is hardly unknown in the scholarly world. It, and other works in the “Library,” demonstrate one trajectory taken by the traditions about Peter, James, Thomas, and other followers of Jesus, as well as Jesus himself. What we have in this present work, which is a lightly revised edition of the author’s 2016 Promotionsschrift, is both a new translation and a detailed commentary on the work. For that we heartily thank Katharina Stifel.The structure of this book is indeed like that of a good critical commentary. After a preface, the work starts with 34 pages of introduction covering the physical structure of the work (which takes up 12 sheets of the codex, which is itself dated in the 4th century), its dating (by one scholar as early as AD 90 in Syria, although Stifel argues that given the contents it should be dated in the 3rd century), and the history of its study. The second section is 27 pages of transcribed text on one page and German translation on the facing page, and then an index of Coptic words, of Coptic words that originated in Greek, of personal names, of types of sentences, and similar linguistic analysis, the indexes taking up the last 36 pages of the 63-page section. The next 235 pages are the commentary on the work. This commentary comes in four sections: a 6-page discussion of methodology, 20 pages examining the relationship of this work to other documents and theological concepts contained in them, from the canonical Gospels to other parts of the Nag Hammadi Codices (this is a type of Traditionsgeschiche), then a 36-page introduction to the narrative in which its context, time, symbols, and narrative style are examined, and, finally, a 170-page paragraph-by-paragraph commentary. The final section of the book is 47 pages of back matter: abbreviations, bibliography, names and contents index, and an index of references to the canonical Scriptures, Nag Hammadi Codices, Patristic writers, and Classical Greek authors. This index will be quite useful for those wishing to trace the trajectory of specific passages in the NT or Greek works.As in a review of any critical commentary, it is impossible to enter into a detailed discussion of Stifel’s analysis. She has done a stereotypically thorough German analysis that I doubt will ever be duplicated. She has done this in a surprisingly readable, if at times technical, German. (If one is writing about Coptic and the traditions behind the Coptic, of an ancient manuscript and how it was constructed, and of traditions and images and how and where they have been used, one can hardly avoid being technical at times.) She has given us the context in which a number of the Patristic authors wrote and so has contributed to the interpretation of their works as well as showing the development of certain NT ideas and contributing to the understanding of the particular group that treasured the Nag Hammadi Codices. Thus, her indexes as well as her discussion of the relationship of the work to other documents and earlier theological concepts are extremely valuable to scholars who might not normally have an interest in the contents of the Nag Hammadi Codices. In exploring symbolism and narrative, she has contributed to the study of the Apocalypse and other such uses of symbolism in a narrative context. Finally, and this I must say as a non-expert in Coptic, she has apparently contributed to the linguistic and developmental analysis of Coptic, or at least within the Coptic world influenced by Christianity. I suspect that too few will read this work because they will not guess its relevance to their field of research. That is unfortunate, for it is a monument of scholarship that does have relevance far beyond its specific focal document, “The Acts of Peter and the Twelve Apostles.”

STAKEHOLDERS INVOLVEMENT IN MITIGATING DISASTER PREVALANCE FOR EFFECTIVE DISASTER MANAGEMENT

A literature search showed that studies on the categorization and roles of stakeholders engaged in disaster management are still in dearth. This could not be unrelated to the global trend of natural and man-made disasters. The objective of this research is therefore to examine the role played by stakeholders in combating the incidence of disasters in our modern culture. An audit of suitable writing is the method utilized to collect fitting data. The investigation found diverse strategies of categorizing calamity administration partners in past investigate. This investigates, after investigating current writing, distinguished critical partners, counting but not limited to government and its parastatals, NGOs, benefactors, the private segment, media, the scholarly world, territorial collaboration, community / citizen and the prompt environment. Based on the concept of partners, the acceptance that much might be fulfilled within the locale of calamity administration in case all partners are completely recognized, well-coordinated and regarded. In conclusion, this inquires about offers supportive information on the part of partners in relieving the rate of catastrophes to ensure productive administration of fiascos.

Molla Halil Siirdî’ye (1754-1843) Göre Kabir Hayatı

Molla Halil Siirdî, 1750-1843 yılları arasında yaşamış, hayatı, eserleri ve düşünceleriyle yaşadığı devrin ilim ve fikir hayatına yön vermiş önemli âlimlerden biridir. Yazdığı ilmî eserlerle kendi dönemindeki medrese mensuplarının ve ilim çevrelerinin dikkatini çekmiş, hoca ve talebelerin ilim ve fikir dünyalarının şekillenmesinde etkili olmuştur. Biz bu makalede, başta Molla Halil’in kendi eserleri olmak üzere bu konuda yazılmış diğer kitap, tez, madde, makale vb. kaynaklardan yararlanarak onun “Kabir Hayatı” konusuna yaklaşımını inceleme konusu yaptık. Makalenin başında önce Molla Halil’in hayatı, tahsili ve eserleri konularında kısa bilgiler verdik. Sonra “Kabir Hayatı” kavramlarının kelime ve terim anlamları ile mezheplerin bu konudaki görüşlerini tespite çalıştık. Kabir hayatı, insanın öldükten sonra kıyametin kopmasına kadar geçirdiği hayatını kapsar. Molla Halile göre, günahkâr olan mümin öldükten sonra kabirde azap görür. Ancak günahı olmayan mümin öldükten sonra kabirde mükâfat alır. Sorgu melekleri kabirdeki ölüleri sorguya çekerler. Bazı Mutezile âlimlerine göre ise kabir suali de kabir azabı da yoktur.

The Normative Theories of the Press in the Digital Age: A Need for Revision

Digital communication is changing media practice, relationship between individuals, media, government and society. We are of the opinion that in the wake of the increasingly complex media environment, the philosophical assumptions of some normative media theories and the media effects theories require reexamination as new models are needed given the current realities. The Delphi method was used to gather experts’ opinions of practicing mass communication practitioners on the applicability of the normative theories given the current social realities. This work focuses on not only the dominant normative theories but also several other proposals and calls for revisit of normative theories of the media developed over the years by scholars in the united states, united kingdom, continental Europe and minimally, third world scholars with a new chart for the rethinking process.

Announcing biblatex-software

Software, and software source code in particular, is widely used in modern research. It must be properly archived, referenced, described and cited in order to build a stable and long lasting corpus of scienti c knowledge. And yet, up to now there was no speci c support for citing software in the popular BibTeX format that we use for our bibliographies. We got used to work around this lack of dedicated support by tweaking the @misc entry, citing the user manual, or an article related to a software artifact, or adding in the text or in a footnote urls pointing to a place where one could get the software: the project web page, or a code hosting platform. These workaround were a manifestation of the fact that software artifacts themselves were not considered rst class citizen in the scholarly world. With the recent raise of interest on reproducibility of research re- sults, from Artifact Evaluation Committees to the ACM Badges, we have started moving towards giving nally software the aca- demic dignity it deserves.

Radikalisme, Anti-Amerikanisme, dan Islamofobia

Abtrack: Radicalism, anti-Americanism, and Islamophobia are three ‘-ism’s that are being the motive of action for one another. Therefore, the project to tackle all three must be a global agenda that not only involves inter-State governance in the East and West, but also demands the active role of community members, civil society institutions, religious institutions, and media times in each Country. In this paper will be outlined the global paradigm that the world scholars of the world are contemplating in order to overcome all three.

Correlation between the Altmetrics Attention Score (AAS) and the Citation Count (CC): A study based on highly cited breast cancer articles

Measuring the impact of a research publication is a vital factor in the scholarly world. Citation count is a single dimension of measuring the impact of a scholarly publication. However, the evolution of the Internet has changed the ways of accessing research publications and research communication. As result of the Internet, altmetric became a popular tool to measure the research impact. The objective of the article is to identify the correlations between Citation Count and Altmetrics Attention Score based on the top 100 highly cited articles available in the Web of Science database. The scholarly publications related to breast cancer published in 2014 were selected as the target population. Web of Science database was used to collect the bibliographic information and citation count of the highly cited articles. The keyword “Breast Cancer” was used in the ‘title’ field of WoS and the search was limited to open access journal articles. The search results were arranged according to the times cited from highest to lowest and ranked according to the citation count. The articles within the top 100 rankings according to the citation count were selected as the sample of this study. Altmetrics bookmarklet was used to collect the Altmetrics Attention Scores of the selected articles. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20 software and Microsoft Excel. Spearman’s rank order correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationship between Citation Count and Altmetrics Attention Score. The study revealed that there is a positive correlation (rs = .552, p < 0.01) between the Citation Count and the Altmetrics Attention Score.

A Portrait of Andreas Bodenstein von Karlstadt by Lucas Cranach the Elder

ABSTRACT The traditional facial portrait of Andreas Bodenstein von Karlstadt has significantly influenced his reception. His apparently sole authentic image was not known until 1988. It is a small woodcut on a broadsheet printed in commemoration of his death in Basel (1541). Previously, the notion was widespread that he was of a swarthy, (almost) negroid (nigricans) appearance. However, there is a double portrait, dated 1522, by Lucas Cranach the Elder, of an anonymous man and bride, and known to the scholarly world since the 1920s. A comparison of the features of the 1541 Basel portrait with those of the unknown man on the Cranach painting indicates that they quite possibly depict the same person. Since Karlstadt’s wedding with Anna von Mochau took place on 19 January 1522, there are strong reasons to surmise that the these Cranach portraitures were made for the private possession of the Reformer and his wife.

Artificial intelligence tools and perspectives of university librarians: An overview

The main purpose of this paper is to assess and examine the possible application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in Pakistani academic libraries, particularly those areas of library technical and library user services where AI could be applied in the near future. A secondary purpose is to bring the library perspective on AI to the forefront of the scholarly world. This is a self-exploratory study, in which a qualitative approach interview has been conducted with 10 chief librarians/library heads (5 public + 5 private sectors) from universities regarding their views on the adoption of artificial intelligence tools in Pakistani academic libraries. Results are tabulated in a descriptive format. Librarians are aware of AI technologies. Services based on Natural Language Processing (NLP) are used in libraries, e.g. Google Assistant, Voice Searching, and Google Translate. Pattern recognition methods, such as text data mining, are also used to retrieve library material and conduct online searching. Big data is accessed via services such as cloud computing, OneDrive, and Google Drive. There is a very low level of awareness of robotics and chatbots. This study provides librarians with suggestions as to how AI tools could be used in libraries which either have yet to adopt AI technologies or wish to implement more advanced tools. Pakistani library schools could collaborate with computer science departments to establish AI Labs in the respective library and information science (LIS) departments/libraries. AI challenges funding and technological skills are the key problem to implement with AI in the University Libraries.

Technology for Management of Industrial Energy

Changes is the present discussion in practically all points both in the scholarly world and practice. Vitality changes among others, have gotten generally more consideration, because of the worldwide interest for expanding vitality productivity and bringing down natural effects. In ongoing decades, vitality the executives frameworks, through actualizing vitality the board programs and related practices inside modern organizations, have assumed a fundamental job in improving mechanical vitality effectiveness execution levels. In any case, still there are issues at absolute initial step of vitality the board program establishment, which is dynamic. Notwithstanding market and non-advertise disappointments, absence of data, insufficient information, the ensuing increment in the view of hazard and vulnerability can be tended to as likely explanations behind referenced issues. Another basic explanation can be clarified through how a vitality program is portrayed by individuals who are going to at a vitality related choice work area. Remembering that designation of the financial plan for any speculation ought have money related compliance, yet in addition a vital incentive for the organization, this paper plans to talk about the affecting boundaries on modern vitality related dynamic and conduct designs regarding the basic job of mechanical vitality the executives frameworks

Kierkegaard and Beauvoir: Existential Ethics as a Humanism

Abstract Simone de Beauvoir’s moral philosophy has received relatively little attention in the scholarly world. This article seeks to bring her Ethics of Ambiguity into dialogue with Søren Kierkegaard’s Works of Love, two works written a century apart, but which both strive to offer a response to challenges concerning the dangers of existential philosophy’s focus on subjectivity. Despite some fundamental differences in orientation, especially with regard to questions of action and social change, Beauvoir and Kierkegaard’s works offer complementary models for understanding how existential ethics can move beyond subjectivist stances and allow for attentiveness to the plurality of concrete, singular others.
