Full textAbstract:
Purpose: The main aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of eLearning on the student’s learning process at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa. The research questions addressed the following areas: how students access educational learning resources on e-learning platforms, how eLearning has been integrated into the process of learning, how eLearning integrations affect students’ learning process, how computer-based learning influences students'’ completion rate at the CUEA, how e-learning and traditional learning environments significantly relate to students’ learning process, the challenges that are associated with e-learning, and the mitigation measures the university is taking to resolve the eLearning challenges.
Methodology: The researcher used an integrated mixed-method approach involving qualitative and quantitative paradigms. Probability and non-probability sampling techniques were used. The target population for the research was 816 out of which, 260 respondents were sampled. From the sampled population, 218 participated in the research making an 85% return rate. The hypothesis was tested using chi-square, while internal consistency was used to ensure the internal reliability of the research instruments. Cronbach validity was used to validate the Likert scale items. Besides, correlation was used to find out the relationships between the dependent and independent variables. The researcher obtained approval from the faculty of education and permission from NARCOSTI to collect data from the respondents.
Findings: The research findings revealed that independent variables, eLearning benefits, eLearning resources, eLearning incentives, and eLearning integration contribute to students’ learning process. The research further revealed that the introduction of a favorable and supportive eLearning environment positively influences Students’ Learning Processes. The researcher concluded that eLearning contributes to the effective learning process of students, therefore, is imperative to be embraced.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: The researcher recommended that the government, curriculum developers and IHL focus on Instructional design, build a strong Learning management system, guidelines and policy, comparative analysis, leverage Cultural and Global perspectives, eLearning accessibility, engagement, Assessment and evaluation of the eLearning platform. Besides, the students subscribing to the eLearning platform should be given proper orientation in order to navigate the platform easily.

Full textAbstract:
The rapid implementation of information technology worldwide has changed and continues to change all areas of life. The education, research and development sectors are highly affected by these technologies. New opportunities for accessing information, teaching, learning and training through the delivery of digital content are now widespread. The purpose of this study was to assess the utilization of information communication technologies as a tool for information literacy among library users of Catholic University of Eastern Africa’s Gaba Campus, Eldoret, Kenya. Based on the study, this paper examines the strategies used to promote information communication technologies as a tool for information literacy. Survey research design was adopted and the target population was 537 registered users comprising the library staff, teaching staff, non-teaching staff and students. Stratified random sampling technique was used to classify the population into strata of library staff, teaching staff, non-teaching staff and library registered students. Simple random sampling was applied on the strata to select the respondents. The sample size for the study was 113 respondents. Questionnaires were administered to the selected participants. Quantitative data was analysed using descriptive statistics. The study found that the major strategies that the library management adopted in enhancing information literacy were provision of written materials in information literacy, one-on-one training, demonstration, inducting new users and organizing seminars and workshops. The strategies were fairly effective. Therefore, it was recommended that the libraries and university management should strengthen and diversify strategies to ensure library users are able to access and use accurate information to solve their academic problems. The study is of value to academic libraries as it informs practice and policies in enhancing information literacy among the staff and students who depend on the .......

Full textAbstract:
Shaping student behaviour has become a major focus of education worldwide. As educational institutions seek to prepare students for success in an increasingly competitive and complex world, they recognize the need to not only teach academic content, but also to develop students' socio-emotional skills, character and values such as ethics and integrity, honesty and truthfulness. In universities, there have been cases of students involved in exam malpractices, such as copying, doing exams for others, poor study practices, and weak adherence to ethical conduct and integrity. Besides, a notable proportion of the undergraduate students tends to deviate from positive behaviours upon entering campus life which affects their academic performance. This study, by using quantitative and qualitative research methods, descriptive design, and purposive sampling of 80 students and 40 teaching and non-teaching staff, examined the role of staff in shaping the behaviour of undergraduate students at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa, main campus, Nairobi, for sustainable academic performance. Questionnaires were administered by the researchers to collect data from respondents. The results showed that the participants strongly agreed with the notion that efficient classroom management plays a crucial role in creating a conducive learning environment and enhancing student behaviour. It was also found that role modelling has an influence on the students’ behaviour for sustainable academic performance. Moreover, respondents strongly agreed that students' guidance and counselling played a significant role in shaping their behaviour. Besides, the results showed that the attitudes of students have a considerable influence on their behaviour, making it essential to address negative attitudes to encourage desirable conduct. The study recommends that the institution should implement regular classroom observations and provide constructive feedback. The University should identify individuals with a track record of academic and personal success to serve as positive role models for the students. Staff training initiatives that prioritise the development of effective communication skills should be implemented. Involving students in developing and implementing initiatives related to behaviour change for sustainable academic performance is highly recommended.

Full textAbstract:
The study analyzed the effects of strategic issue diagnosis process (SIDP) on the profitability of the Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA). The study used a census survey design of the fifty members of the top management team (TMT) of the University. The survey data was analyzed using factor analysis and regression analysis. Factor analysis using principal components and varimax (orthogonal) rotation (to maximize variable loadings to each factor) was conducted to reduce the dimensionality and identify the factors (latent variables) and labels (constructs) of both the SIDP and profitability of CUEA. The regression analysis results showed that the joint effect of the six factors of the SIDP accounted for about 30 per cent of the total variance of the profitability of CUEA, implying that about 70 per cent of the variance could be attributed to excluded university specific, higher education industry and external factors. However, the joint effect of the factors of the SIDP on the institution’s profitability was statistically significant (p<0.05). Although all the factors of the SIDP had theoretically expected signs, not all had statistically significant individual (partial) effects on the profitability of CUEA. The results show that all but the null hypotheses on communication systems and personality profile of the members of the TMT were rejected at p<0.05. The study recommended conduct of additional studies with a larger sample of universities, inclusion of the excluded variables and use of structural modeling approaches.

Full textAbstract:
With the popularity of internet applications, many organizations are facing unprecedented security challenges. Security techniques and management tools have caught a lot of attention from both academia and practitioners. However, there is lacking a theoretical framework for the challenges facing information security management in higher learning institutions. Thus this research looked into the challenges facing information systems security management in higher learning institutions. The study was guided by understanding the major challenges facing Information Systems Security Management and establishing the extent of the use of Information Systems Security Management in higher learning institutions. The study used descriptive survey design. It targeted information systems projects managers, administrators or top management and other users (staff) of the systems in key departments. Systematic sampling strategy was used. Descriptive statistics of SPSS were used to analyze the data. Factor analysis technique was used to identify the major challenges that affect management of an institution’s information system security. Pearson’s Chi-Square was used to test the relationships that exist between the categorical variables. The study found out that system vulnerability, computer crime and abuse, environmental security and financial backing/security are key challenges institutions of higher learning are experiencing in the management of their information systems. The study recommends the implementation of new policies and procedures to guide information system security. Programs for monitoring and evaluating information systems security in relation to performance indicators should be put in place. Institutions should invest heavily in developing their staff through training programmes such as seminars, workshops and conferences to further develop staff skills and abilities on information systems security issues.

Full textAbstract:
Indigenous Leafy Vegetables foods have an exceptional place in African cuisine. It is commonly argued that vegetable consumption reflects cultural backgrounds and their value transcends a biological one, as food, to symbolism enhancing the functioning of society and promoting social order. This study set to determine species use, folkloric dimensions and taste preferences in a rural East African setting. A bio-cultural approach reinforced by ethno-botanical tools conducted over a three-year period and recourse to a corpus of Luo ethnic food plant literature and gathering of folklore elements from a conversational context was used to study socio-cultural elements of vegetables foods of people in Migori and Suba districts of Kenya. Seventy-four respondents, 56 female and 18 males, of mean age 43years and ranging between 16 and 84 years participated in focus group discussions and research interviews. Herbarium specimens of 34 leafy edible plant species in seventeen plant families are deposited at the University of Nairobi and the Catholic University of Eastern Africa herbaria. This study documents 17 sayings (folkloristic products) of different genre: mantras, traditional beliefs, customs, practices, folk stories/ tales, songs, jokes and lexical phrases. Their sociolinguistic analysis reveals they address issues appropriate to Luo ritual, social status, nutrition, taste preferences, cooking habits and conflict resolution. Though Luo folklore indicates aversion for bitter vegetables, the body of folkloric wisdom sustains vegetable dish consumption. The preference and craving for bitter tasting herbs by elder women was because of an understanding of both food and medicinal values. This paper concludes that vegetable consumption reflects cultural backgrounds and experiences. Folklore defines how Africans perceive, define, and value indigenous Leafy Vegetables in their own terms and presents a stable platform for cultural analysis of oral food culture. Indigenous Leafy Vegetables are symbolic "sources of illumination" that orient African people persistently with the system of meaning in their culture.

Full textAbstract:
After the end of European colonial rule, the presence of university students from the newly independent countries increased on both sides of the Iron Curtain. Although the students were involved in political activities both in the Eastern bloc and in Western Germany, France and Great Britain, there is a gap in academic research on this involvement in the Italian case. This article offers the first reconstruction of African student activism in Italy in the 1960s, tracing the modalities of association and mapping the links of this activism with various Italian organisations, in particular anti-colonial student organisations and the Catholic Ufficio Centrale Studenti Esteri in Italia. The article shows that throughout the decade, the African students' interests shifted from anti-colonialism to anti-imperialism and that their associations underwent a process of radicalisation, partly linked to the concurrent transformations of the Italian student movement, and partly to developments in African politics.

Purpose: This study assesses the Catholic University of Eastern Africa University (CUEA) Graduate Business School MBA contribution to developing and enhancing Emotional Intelligence skills among its MBA students.Methodology: Data was collected using various instruments: A survey with structured questionnaires administered to a target population of 40 second-year MBA students; in-depth interviews with 8 second-year MBA students, and 8 CUEA MBA lecturers; and a review of CUEA curriculum in relation to a benchmark of 10 MBA Programs in the best Business Schools of international and regional universities. A concurrent mixed method was used to achieve information with construct validity and chain of evidence from the multiple sources of data. The analysis technique was explanation based on the qualitative data, and some descriptive analysis was carried out for the quantitative data.Results: The findings show that the CUEA MBA program does not have EI (emotional intelligence) as one of its core skills development, while most of the best Business Schools do. CUEA MBA Program does not have specific EI objectives, and as a result, its lecturers have never focused on it and the students’ EI awareness, knowledge, and skills are low.Contribution to policy and practice: The study recommends that CUEA MBA program needs to be incorporated with EI skills development and make it a primary skill to be developed to the students irrespective of their area of specialization. The study further recommends that EI skills should be developed not only at the MBA level but also among undergraduate students, as suggested by some of the lecturers who participated in this study.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the internal control system in the Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA). And, therefore, the specific objectives are to assess the effectiveness of elements of the internal control system in the CUEA, which are control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication activities and monitoring activities. The study used a descriptive research design, and a sample of 53 administrative staffs was selected using a stratified sampling technique. Data collected via questionnaire were analysed by employing a descriptive statistics that contains frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation. The validity and reliability of the instruments were assured using the piloting and Cronbach Alpha technique. The study found that solely control the environment of the institution was effective to a great extent, but, the four elements of its internal control system were effective to a moderate extent. Therefore, the researcher concluded that the institution had an internal control system to a moderate extent proved by a mean of 3.4. This suggests that in spite of the institution designed its control environment to a great extent its policies and procedures weren’t enforced and monitored to a very great or great extent. Thus, the study recommended that the institution needs more effective implementation and monitoring of its policies and procedures and creating proper risk assessment to improve its internal control system.

Full textAbstract:
Substance use among the youth has been on the rise in Kenya; leading to a lot of psychosocial problems. In spite of varied initiatives by the Kenya Government, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) as well as the local and international community to control substance use, very little, less progress has been achieved hence, the need to study in detail the psychosocial factors associated with substance use among the youths in private and public Universities. The study investigated the influence of separation anxiety on substance use among the youths in private and public universities in Lang’ata Constituency, Nairobi County specifically, the Co-operative University of Kenya and Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT, Karen Campus), The Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA) and Tangaza University College (TUC). The research employed descriptive survey design and the target population of 140 comprising: students, counsellors, and deans of students. A sample size of 104 participants was selected using stratified random sampling followed by Simple random sampling and Purposive sampling. The research instruments for data collection were pre-tested using Spearman’s rank-order formula for test-retest to compute the correlation coefficient to establish reliability. A correlation coefficient of + 0.65 and above was considered high enough for reliability. The study had a correlation coefficient of + 0.7 and hence, determined the reliability of the instruments, and the validity was perfected by experts. Data were collected using questionnaires, interview schedules, and the PTSD checklist to access trauma among the students. A pilot study was conducted in a neighboring public university of 14% target population participants to correct the instruments and for triangulation purposes. Descriptive statistics including mean, frequency tables, percentages, and ratios as well as inferential statistics including Pearson’s correlation was used to analyze the data with the help of the Advanced Microsoft Excel Package for Data Analysis. The study established that the interaction between parental separation anxiety significantly influenced university students on substance use (dependent variable) (r=0.570). Based on the study findings, it is recommended that there should be strong therapeutic interventions for students suffering from separation anxiety. This can be done by the universities as well as civil society organizations through guidance and counselling as well as social support interventions. The government, through security agencies, should provide strong bulwarks against physical violence targeted at students.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose: In 1994, Kenyan Ministry of Education established a policy that expectant students should remain in school until due to delivery. In 1996, the policy was revisited and National Guidelines for School Re-entry in Basic Education was formulated in 2020 whose goal was to provide and improve re-entry for learners who drop out of school. This research aimed to assess the effects of school selected factors on the implementation of the re-entry policy in public secondary schools in the Gatundu South Sub- County, Kiambu County, Kenya. The study was based on Equality of opportunity theory propounded by Mithaug.
Methodology: The Convergent parallel mixed research that yielded both quantitative and qualitative data. To gather quantitative and qualitative data in this study, a cross-sectional survey and case study designs were applied. The target population was 421 derived from 268 class teachers, 30 principals, 60 mother-students, 60 parents/guardians and 3 MOE officials. The sample size was 93 participants. Purposive and simple random sampling were used to get 53 class teachers, 10 principals, 2 Ministry of Education officials, 15 mother-students and 13 parents/guardians. The study used content, face, construct and criterion validity. Reliability of research tools and the quantitative data analysis was done using SPSS VERSION 21. The Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient test results were at 0.933, greater than 0.7 affirming an acceptable level of internal consistency. The data collection tools included: questionnaires, face to face interviews, document analysis and phone interviews. Hypothesis was tested using Pearson correlation and results indicated negative correlation between government initiatives towards the implementation of the re-entry policy and school completion rate. The quantitative findings were elaborated in frequencies, tables, rates, pie diagrams and charts while qualitative data thematically dissected and presented narrative form. The researcher sought permission from NACOSTI, The Catholic University of Eastern Africa, and the Kiambu county government as a mandatory pre-study requirement. The participants of the study were given the essential information and confidentiality guaranteed.
Findings: According to the findings of the study, the vast majority of all respondents had verbally heard about the re-entry policy or from the media. The teachers' and parents' level of education was commendable because they were able to comprehend the policy if channels of educating were utilized. The study also found that the re-entry policy was not supported by the government.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study recommends accurate dropout records, leave applications, and follow-ups for girls, as well as comprehensive retraining for guidance and counseling teachers to address teenage pregnancy cases and support mother-students.

Full textAbstract:
Among the graphic representations found in the books are maps. One type of print in which they also appear are religious schematisms (directories). Schematisms (lat. schematismus, elenchus, catalogue) are official lists of the clergy of a particular ecclesiastical administration unit (diocese, religious province). Despite the popularity that religious directories gained in the first half of the nineteenth century, it is only from the second to third decade of the twentieth century that we can speak of the maps included in them. In order to show the variety of representations, this article discusses some of the maps from religious schematisms stored in one of the largest collections of this type of prints in Europe, and thus in the world, namely in the University Library of the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin (BU KUL). The subject of the analysis was cartographic representations, their content, and forms of their production on the example of religious prints from the region of Central and Eastern Europe.

Full textAbstract:
Although at first sight Eastern Christianity is not associated with Africa, the African continent has shaped the establishment and development of three of the four main Eastern Christian traditions. Through a sociological lens, we examine the identity of the above African churches, focusing on the socio-historical entanglements of their religious and ethnic features. Firstly, we study the identity of the Coptic Orthodox Church, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, and the Eritrean Orthodox Church belonging to Oriental Orthodoxy. We focus on these African churches—and their diasporas in Western countries—as indigenous Christian paths in Africa. Secondly, we examine the identity of Africans and African-Americans within Eastern Orthodoxy. We consider both to have some inculturation issues within the Patriarchate of Alexandria and the development of an African-American component within Orthodoxy in the USA. Thirdly, we analyze the recent establishment and identity formation of African churches belonging to Eastern-rite Catholic Churches. In short, we aim to elaborate an overview of the multiple identities of African churches and one ecclesial community in Eastern Christianity, and to compare diverse sociological entanglements between religious and ethnic traits within them. A fruitful but neglected research subject, these churches’ identities appear to be reciprocally shaped by their own Eastern Christian tradition and ethnic heritage.

Full textAbstract:
To the 30th anniversary of Institute of Slavic Philology, СUL The essay offers an attempt to summarise the thirty years of Ukrainian studies within the Institute of Slavic Philology of the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin. The beginnings of Slavic studies at the Catholic University of Lublin are related to the activities of the Interfaculty Department of Research on Byzantine-Slavic Culture, founded in 1981 thanks to the efforts of professor Ryszard Łużny, a philologist-Slavicist from the Jagiellonian University. The main purpose of this unit was to initiate research on ‘Ruthenian’ culture, derived from the Byzantine-Slavic root. The idea implemented by professor Łużny was innovative not only due to its profi led research program but also due to the curriculum, which offered students a wide range of knowledge on Eastern Slavs. From the very beginning of the unit’s functioning, its didactic structure was based on the three philologies: Belarusian, Russian and Ukrainian, and the academics pursued their research interests within the departments of Byzantine-Slavic Culture, Slavic Languages, and Slavic Literatures. Ukrainian studies at the Catholic University of Lublin have been shaped throughout this time by many eminent fi gures who determined the character of the unit by pointing out research directions to the next generations of linguists and historians of Ukrainian literature. These are professor Stefan Kozak, professor Stefaniia Andrusiv (literary studies), professor Michał Łesiуw, professor Dmytro Buchko, and professor Oleh Tyshchenko (linguistics). The essay discusses research and educational activities of the Institute of Slavic Philology. A series of regular research conferences, nationwide and international, focused on the issues of the Eastern Slavs, were organized during these thirty years. The author points out the most important academic publications and periodicals. Another direction of the Institute’s activity consisted in projects popularizing knowledge about the Polish-Ukrainian borderland, Ukrainian culture and language, with a special focus on the language spoken by the inhabitants of the Lublin region.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract New encounters in America, Africa, and Asia facilitated the “discovery” of non-Biblical religious traditions that were distinct from the ancient paganism known to Christian humanists and antiquarians from classical sources and patristic literature. Although Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism did not exist as concepts in the early modern period, the three articles in this special issue illustrate the learning process by which a number of influential and pioneering Catholic missionaries came to distinguish these various traditions from each other. We argue that they did not simply “invent” new religions arbitrarily: instead, on the basis of the very broad categories of true religion and idolatry, they engaged in some close interaction and “dialogue”—albeit usually polemical—with local religious elites and their writings, including Eastern Christians. In addition, in the case of the Jesuits in particular, we note that these various engagements were often connected events that influenced each other in important ways, from India to Japan, from Japan to China, and from all these to Tibet.

Increasingly, more software is developed locally, to address the needs of the developer's immediate community and yet little research has been done regarding their acceptance. The technology acceptance model (TAM), which has greatly been used in literature, failed to consider some cultural particularities of such software. Furthermore, most research has focused on the acceptance of foreign technologies in Africa. The primary objective of this article, is to investigate the validity of TAM for locally developed software within a community. The article utilizes quantitative methodology based on data gathered using a modified version of a published survey instrument; as well as Short Message Service for the collection of qualitative data. The findings concur with previous studies on technology acceptance and the raises interests on the use of qualitative data for understanding the context of technology acceptance.

Full textAbstract:
Historians, not just of South Africa, but of any part of what was once British Africa up to and including Kenya, will be familiar with the significance of the University of Fort Hare at Alice, in South Africa's Eastern Cape province. The university is built on the site and retains the name of a British fort that was a major base for one of the first and most bitterly-fought, and certainly the longest, of the nineteenth-century southern African wars of conquest. However, in one of the paradoxes in which South Africa abounds, Fort Hare has become a shibboleth of modern African nationalism, priding itself on its illustrious alumni, which include many of the great names of the modern black elite in southern Africa. The paradox to some extent disappears, and the interest and complexity increases, when it is considered that Fort Hare had its origins in the liberal missionary tradition, with all its ambiguities, and that its products included homeland leaders as well as nationalist politicians, and the functionaries of segregationist and colonial states as well as assertively African political and cultural leaders.The vicinity of Fort Hare has long been a center of education in the western tradition. From 1841, in the case of Lovedale, with nearby Healdtown and St. Matthew's following later, the great mission-schools of the Eastern Cape, supported by the Lovedale Press, made the area the cradle of the mission-educated African elite. It was from this context that Fort Hare emerged in 1916, being the creation of an interdenominational group of Protestant missionaries and of African leaders such as John Tengo Jabavu, founder of the newspaper Imvo Zabatsundu.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Ethiopia is a rapidly developing country in Eastern Africa. In total, 43.2% of the population are younger than 15. In contrast, until a few years ago, pediatric surgery was only available in Addis Ababa. Now, Ethiopia is making great efforts to improve the care of children who require surgery. JimmaChild was established to set up a pediatric surgery in Jimma. Material and methods: JimmaChild developed from a scientific collaboration between Jimma University (JU) and Ludwig-Maximilians-University. The project was developed and realized by Ethiopian and German colleagues. A curriculum was written for this purpose. The pediatric surgical training of the fellows was carried out on-site by German pediatric surgeons. Results: A new pediatric surgery was established at JU with its own operating room, ward, and staff. After two and a half years, two fellows completed their final examinations as pediatric surgeons. Among others, 850 elective surgeries were performed, 82% assisted by the German colleagues. The German colleagues rated the preparation for the trip, the on-site support, and the professional progress of the fellows mostly as good to very good. Reported problems in the program flow were also recognized and solved in part. Conclusions: The best possible integration of the project into existing structures was achieved by close cooperation of Ethiopian and German colleagues during the project development. Problems were identified and addressed early on by external monitoring. As the project responsibility was mainly with the Ethiopian colleagues, a department was created that now exists independently of external funding and trains its own fellows.

Full textAbstract:
Defences within the digital space against cybersecurity include detection, prevention and response to threats using software tools, however, there no significant technology-based defence systems that deal with cyberbullying related threats. A lack of cybersecurity defence systems and limited cybersecuriy awareness may expose students to cyberbullying and students are likely to suffer, resulting in effects such as psychological and emotional abuse that may eventually contribute towards high drop-outs rates. The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of cyberbullying among students at a public university based in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. This research study followed a mixed method approach and a thematic analysis guided by the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) theoretical framework. The study found strong cyberbullying penetration within the student community under investigation. As part of the study findings, it was found that activities such as cybersecurity awareness programmes may mitigate the impact of cyberbullying on students and such interventions should form part of any higher education institution’s responsibility.

Full textAbstract:
The presented article examines the activities of the theological lyceum in Lviv, which was the predecessor of the greek-catholic theological academy. This academy is a promising educational project started by Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytskyi and rector of the archdiocesan seminary priest Yosyf Slipyi – was created and started its work in 1928–1929. Until the end of its existence, due to unfavorable social and political circumstances, it was never able to receive official accreditation either from the Polish state or from the Roman Apostolic See. However, despite this, the theological academy left a noticeable mark in the history not only of greek-catholics, but also of ukrainians as a whole. After the collapse of Austria-Hungary at the end of 1918 and the subsequent defeat of the army of the West Ukrainian People’s Republic, Eastern Galicia came under the rule of Poland. Various punitive and restrictive measures were applied to ukrainians who did not agree with this development of events. This also applied to the opportunity to obtain higher education. Taking into account all the above facts, galician greek-catholic Metropolitan Andrei Sheptytskyi was forced to stop the education of his seminarians at the theological faculty of Lviv University and organize private lectures for them at the theological seminary. In the future, he planned to realize his old dream and create a full-fledged theological educational institution for eastern catholics in Lviv, but the realization of such a plan required more time. The study shows that theological lyceum became an intermediate stage that allowed to pass the crisis period and to continue the formation and scientific training of future greek-catholic priests. Keywords: higher education, theological academy, theological seminary, Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church, Yosyf Slipyi, Andrei Sheptytskyi.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past four years, a team of computational social scientists at the Center for Social Complexity at George Mason University (GMU) in collaboration with anthropologists from the Human Relations Area Files (HRAF) at Yale University have been developing a multi-scale spatial agent-based model to better understand the environmental, social, and cultural dimensions of conflicts in the Rift Valley region of eastern Africa. The overall goal of the joint GMU-HRAF project is "to build and analyze innovative and interrelated computational models of asymmetric conflict with explicit sociocultural content that can advance understanding and improve policy analysis." 1 The anthropologists' contribution is to provide the "explicit sociocultural content" for the models. In this paper, we discuss the interdisciplinary collaboration in developing the agents for two models, a prototype model called "HerderLand" concerned with pastoral movement in a savanna environment and "RiftLand," a 1,600 sq km region in eastern Africa. The paper focuses on the give and take between the anthropologists and computational social scientists in developing the agents. The challenge for the anthropologists is how to apply their knowledge, both ethnographic and theoretical, in shaping a model that ultimately will help policymakers anticipate and manage conflict in eastern Africa.

The merit of István Udvari is enormous in the field of investigation of Ukrainian language history, the Ukrainian and Rusyn historical dialectology, the language of the Bachka-Srem Rusyns, the Ukrainian and Ruthenian Studies in Hungary, the Ukrainian-Hungarian and the Rusyn-Hungarian interlingual contacts, the identification, study and publication of the ancient Eastern and South Slavic written monuments; it was he who brought back to the science the forgotten linguists, historians, and other cultural figures. A significant contribution to the «rehabilitation» of the scientific activity of the scientist Antony (Antal) Hodinka belongs to Professor Udvari. A. Hodinka (1864–1946) is a famous historian, philologist, folklorist, publicist, and educator. He made a significant contribution to the development of Transcarpathia and Hungary's history and culture, particularly the history of the Greek Catholic Church, Hungarian-Slavic and Hungarian-Eastern Slavic historical and interlingual contacts. With the accession of Transcarpathia to the Soviet Union, with the ban on the functioning of the Greek Catholic Church, the activity of A. Hodinka was forgotten for many decades. The article aims to investigate and properly evaluate the scientific heritage of A. Hodinka through István Udvari's scientific research.

In October 2002 I was lucky enough to spend three stimulating days at the New York University Law School Library participating in the annual Legal Information Transfer Network workshop. The Legal Information Transfer Network (ITN) is funded by a generous grant from The Starr Foundation (established in 1955 by insurance entrepreneur Cornelius Van der Starr) and is headed by the dynamic Director of the NYU Law School Library, Professor Kathie Price. ITN aims to establish a global network of prestigious law libraries which ultimately can offer a 24/7 virtual reference service, both to its own partner libraries in the developed world and to academic legal communities in less developed countries. Previous annual workshops in such cities as Lausanne in Switzerland have given senior librarians from ITN partner libraries the opportunity to meet and make progress on issues such as providing a global virtual reference desk, sharing database access across the libraries, developing interactive legal research guides, and creating imaginative training programmes for local law librarians in China and Southern Africa (http://www.law.nyu.edu/library/itn). Between workshops the exchange of ideas is continued by email discussion. Currently the list of law library partners includes New York University, Washington University in Seattle, Toronto University in Canada, IALS Library in the UK, the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium, Tilburg University in the Netherlands, Konstanz University in Germany, Cape Town University in South Africa, Melbourne University in Australia, Yerevan State University in Armenia, and Tsinghua University in China.

AbstractThis essay is in honour and in memory of the late Prof. Dr. Engelbert MVENG Sf. Born in Cameroon on May 9, 1930, Fr. Mveng has been found murdered in Yaoundé on April 23, 1995 before he would turn 65 years old. In the last thirty years, he was professor at the University of Yaoundé/Cameroon, Department of History. As a historian and theologian, he has enormous contributions to African culture and history, especially in the realm of cultural and religious anthropology as well as in iconology, which have won a wide acclaim. The internationally renowned artistic work of Fr. Mveng which can be found in different churches, chapels and educational centers the world over, underlines the iconographic contribution of Africa to the world and to Christianity. See, for example: Our Lady of Africa in the Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth/Israel; the Jesuit Hekima College in Nairobi/Kenya; Uganda Martyrs Altar at Libermann, Douala/Cameroon; Our Lady of the Yaoundé Cathedral/Cameroon; the decoration of the chapel of the Catholic University of Central Africa, Yaoundé/Cameroon ... and various centers in Africa and in the United States ... I have presented the first version of this essay on the occasion of a visit of John Paul II to Cameroon. I enclose a selected bibliography of the writings of Fr. Engelbert Mveng.

This paper consists of an overview of programmes supporting sustainable planning and management in the City of Johannesburg one of the most important social and economic hubs of the transitional Republic of South Africa. Following from this is an analysis of the experience identified as most appropriate for Johannesburg City and its metropolitan region (Gauteng). This case study is used to highlight efforts and lessons learned from the international project "Designing, Implementing and Measuring Sustainable Urban Development" (DIMSUD) which have intended to contribute to new solutions for sustainable urban development through a collaborative multi-disciplinary, and participatory approach combining research, urban design, and capacity building. DIMSUD (http://sustainability.ethz.ch) is carried out jointly by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden), University of Botswana, University of the Witwatersrand (South Africa) and the Catholic University of Santiago de Chile. Another partner was the United Nations University (UNU) at Tokyo. The project has enabled a global overview of core problems, providing a synthesis of realizable strategies and offering both a scientific forum and an "urban field laboratory" for joint learning. The strategies developed will not only help improve the conditions in the case study cities (Gaborone Johannesburg, Santiago de Chile), but will also provide working examples so that other cities can learn from and adapt and adopt appropriate "best practices".

Not long after I joined the Wits Law Clinic in January of 1997, I was seconded by our Director to attend a workshop hosted by Rhodes University Law Clinic in Grahamstown. The workshop was to be presented by the Association of University Legal Aid Institutions, or AULAI as it is commonly known. As a new recruit to our law clinic I barely knew of the existence of other university law clinics in South Africa, let alone a national association of law clinics. No-one at our clinic bothered to inform me what the workshop was all about, and I, being only concerned really with the adventure of travelling to a beautiful part of the Eastern Cape, never bothered to ask. So, I set off to Grahamstown in blissful ignorance of the events that were to follow, events that, as it turned out, shaped my involvement with law clinics in South Africa.
