ABSTRACT: Various studies indicate that religious couples are more likely to enjoy stable and happy marriages. They are also less likely to experience conflict and violence, or to divorce perhaps because religion offers couples theologically grounded guidelines on how to handle marital conflicts when they arise. The present qualitative study was conducted using face to face interviews with nine participants in Kenya who had been identified as practicing Christians. The aim of the study was to explore how religiosity impacted the participant’s marital satisfaction. Results indicated that specific attributes related to religiosity like individual and partner prayer, reading the Bible, church attendance, impacted participants and their spouses lives positively and in turn their experiences in marriage. Engaging in religious practices was reported by the participants as eliciting qualities like perseverance, forgiveness and humility which in turn assisted them in keeping their marriages stable and thus resulting in marital satisfaction

Pre-Marital Counselling and Marital Conflicts among Christian Couples in Same...paperpublications3
Abstract: The purpose of the study was to establish the relationship between pre-marital counselling and marital conflict among Christian couples in Sameta Sub County, Kisii County, Kenya. The sample size of the study was 400 respondents based on total population of 8000 married couples in the study area. Descriptive, correlational and cross sectional research designs were used. Structured questionnaires and an interview guide were used as research instruments. Data was analyzed using both descriptive (frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation) and Pearson correlation and multi-regression analysis. The findings showed that premarital counselling and marital conflict among Christian couples were significantly associated. Dimensions of premarital counselling i.e., communication, financial counseling, sexuality and biblical counselling are significant contributing factors that control marital conflicts in the study area. The dimensions (in-laws), parenting and, anatomy & physiology were not significant contributing factors to marital conflicts in the study area. The implication of the findings is that there is need to step up and encourage young people aspiring to get married to undergo premarital counselling so as to mitigate marital conflicts.
I make a case for why the LDS Church could embrace gay marriage in harmony with it's pro-marriage, pro-family stance. The narrated presentation is on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1jDUcBKml0).

In lesson six the most interesting module that I read was the one about the current issues in marriage of families and their religions. In addition to this, I enjoyed learning about the module about the good, bad and ugly in terms of religions’ social aspects. To understand the philosophy of religion properly, this two aspect need to be studied in depth and the relationship between them understood. This paper is therefore written to help in understanding this relationship between the religion and family and the social aspects of religion as indicated in the modules six as well as the further readings given in class. **More content relating to final 2 requirements***
To begin with, the first reading that interested me considers the connection between religion, and family development designs. The family development examples of individuals from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, with its solid family-focused philosophy, were contrasted and those of Roman Catholics, Protestants (partitioned into liberal and moderate gatherings), and individuals with no religious inclination (Jordan, 2015). It was found that individuals with no religious inclination are less inclined to wed, more prone to separate, more averse to remarry after separation and have tendencies to have littler families than individuals from the changing religious gatherings.
At the point when contrasted with alternative religious gatherings, Latter-day Saints have bigger families, the most astounding rates of marriage and fruitfulness, and the least separation rates. Catholics likewise tend to separate less and remarry after separation less often than Protestants. Potentially no other societal foundation has a nearer connect with religion than does the family (Smoak, 2015). Late changes in family arrangement have tested Judeo-Christian morals concerning family life (Idler, 2008). Postponing marriages, rising separation rates, and learning within family estimates all run counter to the conventional prenatal, prenuptial position of most Christian religions. In light of this, changes in the regular family-lifecycle occasions the normal individual can only hope to understand, the diligence of the connection amongst family and religion remains an essential issue. In reality, the impact of religion seems, by all accounts, to be fading (Buchdah et al., 1997). Keeping in mind the end goal to comprehend the part of religion in the public arena, it will be important to keep checking the connection amongst religious and family-arranged conduct.

Predicting Marital Satisfaction among Indian Muslim Women: A Phenomenological...AJHSSR Journal
Societal stability and development depends on stable and secure families, thus societies need to
understand and foster marital satisfaction. This qualitative study is the first of its kind to consider marital
satisfaction among the particular socio-cultural ethnicity of Indian Muslim women. The purpose of this
phenomenological study was to understand the factors affecting the quality of the Indian Muslim women‟s
marital relationships. Semi-structured, face-to-face, in-depth, qualitative interviews were held with 27 Indian
Muslim women from Mumbai, India. The study analyzed the relevant constructed meanings that emerged from
all interviews and clustered them into themes in an attempt to reach an in-depth understanding of factors in the
marital satisfaction and experiences of Indian Muslim women, including trust, commitment, respect,
faithfulness, communication, companionship, positive relations with in-laws, forgiveness, shared values and
financial security. The analysis of the collected data in this study provides a rich description of Indian Muslim
women‟s lived marital experiences and an identification of factors that influence their level of marital
satisfaction. The conclusions of the study indicate that Indian Muslim women are generally satisfied with their
marital life. An analysis of the data collected provided the basis for future research on this phenomenon as well
as some implications for couples, Islamic religious leaders, and marriage counselors working with this
population.

«Abortion is by stemming the hormone needed to maintain a pregnancy, namely the hormone progesterone.

On the Use of the Causal Analysis in Small Type Fit Indices of Adult Mathemat...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: Model evaluation is one of the most important aspects of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Many model fit indices have been developed. It is not an exaggeration to say that nearly every publication using the SEM methodology has reported at least one fit index. Fit is the ability of a model to reproduce the data in the variance-covariance matrix form. A good fitting model is one that is reasonably consistent with the data and doesn’t require respecification and also its measurement model is required before estimating paths in a covariance structure model. A baseline model of four constructs together with a combination of none, one, two, three or four additional constructs was constructed with latent variables: educational performance, socioeconomic label, self concept and parental authority using dichotomous digits 0 or 1 for each additional construct. 16 progressively nested models were considered starting with baseline model using the mathematics adult learners data from the modeling sample and employing some small fit indexes which are commonly used (AIC, CAIC, RMR, SRMR, RMSEA, 2 / DF among others) [1] to test the fitness of the model. The measures of model fit based on results from analysis of the covariance structure model are presented.
The Sov’reign Shrine of Veiled Melancholy- The Shadow of Consumption on La Be...QUESTJOURNAL
―Youth grows pale and spectre thin and dies‖ – John Keats, (Ode to Nightingale) Tuberculosis was one of the most misunderstood and misrepresented diseases of all times. Hailed as Consumption’s Poster Child, Keats' life, like Beethoven's, served as a pattern tor the Romantic artist. In acute distress and emotional turmoil, in 1819 masterpiece followed masterpiece. In Keats' poems we see a concreteness of description of the object he contemplates. All the senses - tactile gustatory, kinetic, organic, as well as visual and auditory combine to give the total apprehension of his experience. His experiences often accord closely with his personal, life and the disasters he had. Keats is austere in poetry and yet he keeps high colouring and variety of appeal to the senses and the mind. Tuberculosis remains with us today, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia where more than a million people die of this disease each year. It is worth recalling its history and its association with literature with special reference to John Keats and his poetry- and specially La Belle Dame Sans Merci that shows a dominant forebrooding over man's mortality from it. La Belle becomes a representation of the disease in Keats’s La Belle Dame Sans Merci and reflects the poet’s struggle with tuberculosis.

On the Use of the Causal Analysis in Small Type Fit Indices of Adult Mathemat...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: Model evaluation is one of the most important aspects of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Many model fit indices have been developed. It is not an exaggeration to say that nearly every publication using the SEM methodology has reported at least one fit index. Fit is the ability of a model to reproduce the data in the variance-covariance matrix form. A good fitting model is one that is reasonably consistent with the data and doesn’t require respecification and also its measurement model is required before estimating paths in a covariance structure model. A baseline model of four constructs together with a combination of none, one, two, three or four additional constructs was constructed with latent variables: educational performance, socioeconomic label, self concept and parental authority using dichotomous digits 0 or 1 for each additional construct. 16 progressively nested models were considered starting with baseline model using the mathematics adult learners data from the modeling sample and employing some small fit indexes which are commonly used (AIC, CAIC, RMR, SRMR, RMSEA, 2 / DF among others) [1] to test the fitness of the model. The measures of model fit based on results from analysis of the covariance structure model are presented.
The Sov’reign Shrine of Veiled Melancholy- The Shadow of Consumption on La Be...QUESTJOURNAL
―Youth grows pale and spectre thin and dies‖ – John Keats, (Ode to Nightingale) Tuberculosis was one of the most misunderstood and misrepresented diseases of all times. Hailed as Consumption’s Poster Child, Keats' life, like Beethoven's, served as a pattern tor the Romantic artist. In acute distress and emotional turmoil, in 1819 masterpiece followed masterpiece. In Keats' poems we see a concreteness of description of the object he contemplates. All the senses - tactile gustatory, kinetic, organic, as well as visual and auditory combine to give the total apprehension of his experience. His experiences often accord closely with his personal, life and the disasters he had. Keats is austere in poetry and yet he keeps high colouring and variety of appeal to the senses and the mind. Tuberculosis remains with us today, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia where more than a million people die of this disease each year. It is worth recalling its history and its association with literature with special reference to John Keats and his poetry- and specially La Belle Dame Sans Merci that shows a dominant forebrooding over man's mortality from it. La Belle becomes a representation of the disease in Keats’s La Belle Dame Sans Merci and reflects the poet’s struggle with tuberculosis.
Recruitment Practices And Staff Performance In Public Universities: A Case St...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: Recruitment, as a human resource management function, is one of the activities that impact most critically on the performance of any organization irrespective of its size and location. Public Universities, known to train professionals that exhibit transformative leadership and successfully run blue-chip companies have equally suffered from rampart industrial unrest and human resource malpractices across Kenya. Could it be a unique trend of organizational deviance that could be reflecting absence of a well executed staff recruitment practice? While it is understood and accepted that poor recruitment decisions continue to affect organizational performance and limit goal achievement, knowledge about this aspect in Public Universities remains scanty. The aim of this study was to address this gap by evaluating how recruitment practices affect performance of administrative staff in Public Universities using Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology, Kenya as a case reference. A cross-sectional survey design was employed while sampling strategy was a blend of multiphase, stratified and purposive sampling. A sample size of 124 out of 1150 comprised mainly of administrative staff was used and that a questionnaire was the principal tool of data collection. Results were analyzed using frequency tables, mean, standard deviation and simple linear regression. The study found that a recruitment policy existed at Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology, Kenya and that both external and internal recruitment practices were used to recruit employees at the University. However, it was noted that most of the university employees are recruited through media advert, internal advertisement, through transfers and promotions. The results of the regression indicated that recruitment practices are a significant predictor of employee performance, which was explained by 32% of variance and a moderate relationship captured by beta weight value of 0.57. On effectiveness of the recruitment policy, only 30% rated it as effective while 62% were indifferent and 8% rated it ineffective. The study concluded that although a significant relationship between recruitment practices and employee performance existed, it’s effectiveness and therefore positive impact on employee performance depended on employees’ positive perception and rating. It’s recommended that the Universities should avoid biasness in the recruitment process as this will negatively impact on employee performance.
Pesse Na Siri’ Budgetary System: A Historiography Study of Luwu Kingdom in Is...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: This study aimed to explore the budgetary system of pesse na siri’ at Luwu kingdom in the Islamic period of 1593 to 1945. Through the historiography method, it showed the base existence of the spiritual sense sensitivity, i.e., pesse (empathy) and siri’ (shame) and Islamic law in budgetary system. In the resources management, it was carried out in four stages, namely planning, implementation, reporting, and evaluation. Operationally, the pesse na siri’ budgetary system on the mobilization mechanism of resources or budget (balanca) through the top down system (i.e., known as balanca pole riwawo) and bottom up system (i.e., known as balanca pole riawa). The top down system was a mobilization resource form from agricultural products of the king’s land (i.e., known in Buginese language as Tanana datue) and the palace logistic. Meanwhile, the bottom up came from the resource offer–i.e., known as makkasiwiyang–mechanism, consisting of makkasiwiyang lili’ (the lower government level), makkasiwiyang ale (personal/individual), and makkasiwiyang reso (labor). One of the Islamic impacts in this system was to direct the budgetary system based on the Shari’a or Islamic law.
Fabrication of Complete Dentures for A Patient with Resorbed Mandibular Anter...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: The loose and unstable lower complete denture is one of the most common problems faced by denture patients with highly resorbed ridge. The management of such highly resorbed ridges has always posed a difficulty to the prosthodontist.Obtaining consistent mandibular denture stability has longbeen a challenge for dental profession. The simplest approach often is to extend the denture base adequately for proper use of all available tisues.To achieve this goal impression of the resorbed mandibular ridge is very important. The objective is to develop a physiologic impression with maximum support of both hard and soft tissues.In such cases, an innovative technique of impressionmaking by using a close fitting tray and anelastomeric impression material tomake a proper impression to achieve maximum retentionand stability.This article describes an impression technique used for highly resorbed mandibular ridge using an all green impression technique, to gain maximum retention andstability
Steganographic Technique Using Instant Messaging Conversation DynamicsQUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT : Steganography is considered to be not only the science but also the art of hiding secret messages into other innocuous and non-secret media of different types. History of steganography started with the history of civilization and algorithms of data hiding have been constantly developed with the rise of mankind's knowledge. Some of steganographic algorithms are so close connected to the use of digital media, computers and information technology, that those algorithms do not have analogy in non-digital world. It is possible to see the use of hard disk drives (HDD), solid state discs (SSD) and file systems for the purpose of steganography, or steganography in TCP/IP networks as the example. In this paper we are concentrating on such algorithm and we are examining the possibility of the use of dynamics of conversation realized with the use of instant messaging services, which are very popular standalone services or are part of widely used social networks like Facebook. The paper discusses the possibility of hidden message encoding by the use of different parameters of conversation dynamics and introduces new algorithm and its program implementation. The last part of the paper summarizes results of its experimental use.

Block Hybrid Method for the Solution of General Second Order Ordinary Differe...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: We consider the construction of block hybrid method for the solution of general second order ODEs. Derivation of the method was based on the use of hermite polynomial as basis function. The main method and its additional equations are obtained from the same continuous formulation via interpolation and collocation procedures. The method is then applied in block form as simultaneous numerical integrator, this approach eliminates requirement for starting values, and it also reduces computational effort. The stability properties of the method is discussed and the stability region shown. Two numerical experiments were given to illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of the new method.
Modeling – Based Instructional Strategy for Enhancing Problem Solving Ability...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: The modeling-based instructional framework accommodates the physics modeling mechanism in which the learner apply the fundamental principles in physics and develop an idealized physics model of the real world situation by means of assumptions and approximations. The present study was intended to find out the effectiveness of Modeling-based instructional strategy for enhancing physics problem solving ability of students at secondary school level. The investigator adopted a quasi-experimental method with two group pretest post-test design for the study. The sample selected for the study consisted of 242 IX standard students from three different schools of Palakkad district. The tools used for collecting the data were the Problem Solving Ability Test in Physics, lesson designs based on Modeling-based instructional strategy and activity oriented method. The findings of the study concluded that the Modeling-based instructional strategy enhanced the problem solving ability of students of secondary school level. And also the strategy scaffolded the formation of mental models of problem representations with in the cognitive structure of the learner.
Exploring the Effectiveness of the Arabic LanguageTeaching Methods in Indones...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: The aim of this research work is to identify the effectiveness of the Arabic language teaching methods in Indonesia(National University of Malang for Sample)in terms of making use of Arabic as a medium of communication among the students in the light of the modern approaches in teaching and learning of Arabic language. This research is methodologically characterized as a descriptive, analytical, evaluative and field research work. In order to arrive at the purpose of this study, a questionnaire has been designed and carried out on a specimen from the teachers of the concerned university. Eventually, the study has arrived into a finding that the method used in the university is the Eclectic Method (i.e. Selective Method), except that translation is utilized extensively with it, and it might influentially cause the depreciation of the communication skill of the students, and the major intermediary language for the Arabic language teaching is the Indonesian language. However, its uncontrolled over-usage in the Arabic language teaching procedure may negatively cause the weakness of the students in the listening and speaking skills, since they could not get enough opportunity to practice them during language learning, in addition to the fact that the teachers might be employed as Arabic language teachers on the basis of their high conversance with the grammatical rules of Arabic language and not on their skills in the Arabic language communication medium.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of Larkin as literary artist was to convey his ultimate message that man has to transcend the gross environment for the attainment for final goal. His poem opens with important question which prompt us to scrutinize ourselves. According to Philip Larkin “when you come to talk about once duty as writer then ones can say that his duty is to write for harmony”. In this paper there an urge in Larkin’s poem to attain transcendental knowledge by which everything is known. The meaningful change in environment through literature result from the development of qualities and attitude that foster constructive pattern of human interaction through literature. In an age of highly industrialized and mechanized structure of our society where we have 'given our hearts away a sordid boon' and where all spiritual values have been thrown overboard, the relevance of selecting this topic "Spiritual Quest in Philip Larkin" becomes important. In Larkin's poetry there is invariably, an element of spiritual crises, a note of subsequent struggle to step out of it. This inner conflict to proceed forward in the path of Divine realization lends magnificence to his poetic and spiritual personality.
The SA0 Group Reservoir ’S Compositive Evaluation In The Central Developing P...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: Using the data from logging in a net of high density, the sand core from a airtight well, and the testing data for oil and gas , and then according to the experiment of exploitation, we studied the deposit visage in macroscopical way, the physical characteristics of the reservoir, and the partition of the oil and gas’s border. It is clear that the zero group of Sa’s oil floor is mainly deposit in the foreside of a delta under the background of lake incursion, and the ventro-delta express a character that there were some sandstones which was transited for two times. Make a certain that the oil and gas’s border of zero group in Sa is maybe 600m underground, and demarcated the maximal square is 26.8km2 about this reservoir, and tell us that it lies in the top of the anticline. Of course, this production can be used in the designing of the zero group of Sa’s exploitation
Down the Purgatory of Memories:The Pain of Remembering in M alayalam Naxal Ci...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT:Keralam, the southern most state in India is known for its cinema and politics. It is in Kerala that Communist Party came to power through Parliamentary election process for the first time in history. The political consciousness nurtured by the Communist movement found its reflections in Malayalam (language being spoken by the people of Keralam) Cinema as well. As a result films produced during the formative years of Malayalam Cinema were characterized by their political content. Having said this it should also be added that since those films are produced within the dominant production system with a view to garner profit they fail to politically stimulate the audience. But the situation had been changed after the Naxalite (radical left movement ideologically inclined to Maoism) uprising in 1969 during which both the feudal/bourgeois value orientations and the alleged degeneration of the Communist Party were challenged by the educated radical youths who fought for an immediate revolution. The state promptly intervened and contained Naxalite uprising with an iron fist. The repressive machinery of the state intervened whenever instances of resistance occurred. The Emergency declared in 1975 exposed the inhuman face of government that unleashed series of tortures against its citizens. The post -1980 political films, otherwise called as Naxalite films, try to recapture the tormenting experience of being political during the time of such mass oppression. Those movies resort to memory to expose the stark experience of the past.Remembering is a way of representing the past with all its nuances as it situates the remembering subject at close proximity with the past. At the same time Naxalite movies explored the possibility of forgetting also to unveil the subtle complexities of individual's relationship with the past. Here I consider two Malayalam films-AmmaAriyan(1986) directed by John Abraham and Margam (2003) directed by Rajeev Vijayaraghavan- to investigate how memory and oblivion are meticulously used by the filmic narratives to politicize a society already under the grip of political amnesia.
Professional Competences: An Integrative Approach for Defining The Training C...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: This paper offers an integrative proposal for Business Administrationcurricular programs. For that purpose, we have carried out a survey with teachers from upper Business Administration courses so as to select a group of key competences for the contemporary Administrator, which has allowed us to elaborate an integrative proposal of curricular program for the Business Administration scholars in Brazil. As a qualitative research, it consists of a multiple case study with empirical approach and a triangular analysis based on Moraes (2014).Its main objective has been to analyze the curricular programs from five higher education institutions in the state of Rio Grande do Sul and two other foreign institutions in South America. At first, we have asked ourselves the following question: How to adapt the Business Administration curricular program to the contemporary needs as far as the vocational training competences of Administrators are concerned?In order to answer it, we have analyzed the National Curriculum Guidelines (DCN) and the Political-Educational Projects of Business Administration Courses (PPC/CSA). After that, we have compared the Curricular Components (CC) of the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) under analysis. After performing the triangular textual analysis of the DCN, PPC/CSA and CC of all HEIs under study, we have carried out a survey with 35 teachers from Business Administration upper courses through a computerized online questionnaire.We have sent a Survey Monkey link for a total of 40 teachers, however, only 35 answered it (87.5%); we have considered 100% valid answers. Previously, based on the doctrine of competences and curriculum according to the most renowned authors – suchas Vygostsky, Freire, Sacristán, Piaget, Saviani, Bloom, Libâneo (curriculum); Fleury & Fleury, Zarifian, Perrenoud, Lisboa (competences), among others – wehave concluded that implementing the integrative proposal will providemore well-prepared graduates from the Business Administration course right to the competitive and globalized labor market.

The term “total marginality” is used to describe the myriad, chronic, and often inescapable ways that African American college students attending PWIs are marginalized in a college setting. The focus of this paper is the impact of total marginality on Black identity development for those African American collegians who successfully complete their university studies at a PWI.
Alternative dispute resolution and civil litigation barriers to access to jus...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: Civil law is the predominate system of law in the world. Civil law as a legal system is often compared with common law. The main difference that is usually drawn between the two system is that common law drawn abstract rules from specific cases, whereas civil law with abstract rules which judges must then apply to the various cases before them. Civil law has its roots in Roman law, Common law and the Enlightenment, alongside influence from other religious laws such as Islamic Law. The legal system in many civil law countries are based around one or several codes of law which set out the main principles that guide the law. On the other hand, Criminal Law as offences and prescribes punishment for them. It not only precludes or prevents crimes but also punish the offender. It is necessary for the maintenance of law, order and peace within state. In criminal cases, it is the state which initiates proceeding against the offender. Laws relating to the Civil Proceeding as the Code of Civil Procedure 1908; the Civil Courts Act 1887; the Suit Valuation Act 1887; the Limitation Act 1908; the Registration Act 1908; & the Specific Relief Act 1877.
Corporate Reputation And Earnings Quality of Listed Firms in NigeriaQUESTJOURNAL
Purpose: There is contention in financial reporting literature on the nature of relationship between corporate reputation and earnings quality of firms. The differences in findings on the relationship between corporate reputation and earnings quality linkage are empirically traceable to firm characteristics and capital market. To our knowledge, the association between corporate reputation and earnings quality is limited in Nigeria, Thus, we examine the nature relationship between corporate reputation and earnings quality of listed firms in Nigeria. Design/ Methodology/ Approach: The expo facto design was adopted for this study on 21 listed firms selected from the consumer sector, manufacturing sector and financial sector on the Nigeria Stock Exchange. The primary estimation method for the regression equation is pooled-OLS. Finding: We found that corporate reputation has no significant positive association with earnings quality of listed firms in Nigeria. Originality/ Value: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that investigates the relationship between corporate reputation and earnings quality across three sectors in Nigeria. The result has implication on capital market, firm reputation, auditor type and earnings quality. Thus, this study will be useful to capital market regulators, standard setters and future researchers.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

II. METHODOLOGY
2.1 Participants
The present study is a qualitative study with a sample which comprised of 9 respondents identified as
practicing “Protestant Christians” due to their self-report on their commitment to regular church attendance,
participation of other Christian rituals like “fasting”, “tithing” and “daily prayer”. In Protestant circles,
individuals with this nature of practice are referred to as “Born again” Christians. Purposive sampling was used
to select the participants from a Christian organization and 3 different churches. They were from varied
Christian denominations including Baptist, AIC, Deliverance and Pentecostal. Four of the participants were
male, and five were female.
The participants were aged between 40 and 50 years and had been married for between 9 and 25 years and were
living with their spouse. They each gave informed consent to participate in the study.
The characteristics of the sample are represented in Table 1 below.
Table 1: Characteristics of the sample
2.2 Instrument
An interview schedule with semi structured questions was used to interview the participants. The
interviews were also recorded using an audio recorder. The interview schedule was developed by the researcher
and comprised of 5 questions which required the participant to state the following;
1. The denomination they belonged to.
2. How important their faith was to them.
3. How long they had been born again.
4. How they lived out their faith in daily life.
5. How they perceived that their faith had impacted their marriages and spouses.
2.3 Data Analysis
The interviews were recorded using a recorder and then the audio recordings were transcribed verbatim
to written text. The researcher then thematically analyzed the content to identify the main themes that defined
the respondent’s marital experiences and the implications for their marital satisfaction.
III. FINDINGS

This was captured by respondents reporting that shared values like belief in one God and a Prayerful
life helped in preventing problems in their life as the Relational Virtues inspired by their religiosity like Love,
Peace and Patience were conducive for their marriage.
“My marriage would never have survived, I run to my faith….” (R 8)
“It keeps me calm, patient… reading the word helps me a lot” “Anger is dealt with through prayer”. “I
enhance my marriage through Christian books, prayer and reading the word of God” (R6).
“I believe that marriage is created by God for men and women and there are certain principles one must live by
in order to succeed” (R5).
“At least when you’re married and you encounter a problem as a mature Christian, there is where you go for
support…other Christians, in prayer, faith… I have faith that God keeps my marriage together so it avoids a lot
of issues”. “….so I believe through that we are blessed…so we have never had issues in our marriage...” (R4)
“The beatitudes remind me to be patient, have love and perseverance so when am tempted to be angry, I remind
myself to love” (R2)
3.2 Theme 2: Resolve Conflicts
This emerged where respondents said that their religiosity helped them forgive and have humility, and
when they obeyed Bible Scripture guidance in handling conflict, all was resolved easily.
“I run to my faith rather than throwing a tantrum or breaking away during tough times. It gives me perseverance
and the ability to know there is a solution to a problem” (R 8).
“We serve in church together in the same department so there is no conflict” (R6).
“ Marriage is ordained by God, decide in advance it will work, do not have a perception that it will not work, I
learn from the marriages that I know work, I enhance my marriage through Christian books, prayer and reading
the word of God (R6).
“I believe that relationship with God impacts marriage; despite the challenges, if one finds the one God
ordained, God will make a way”. “My faith makes me a better person with a better outlook…more patience and
perseverance” (R5)
“…and if they are to arise, we have a way of dealing with them, not like in the world, what other people do. We
have scripture to refer to.” (R4).
“Being a Christian helps me want to get peace so let go of grudges” (R2)
“There is one goal and harmony” (R2)
“Marriage without spirituality is hopeless, with him at the center, you have purpose and are able to solve
anything” (R1).
3.3 Theme 3: Working towards relational reconciliation
3.3.1 Commitment to relational permanence
Their religiosity made it easier for them to seek solutions and answers within their marriage
rather than run away. It inspired commitment to find solutions which resulted in cultivation of
humility, tolerance and perseverance.
“Rather than throwing a tantrum or breaking away during tough times…. it gives me perseverance and the
ability to know there is a solution to a problem”. (R 8)
“I have faith that God keeps my marriage together so it avoids a lot of issues”. “It is the best place to be, any
marriage founded on Christian principles as Christianity preaches love, forgiveness, patience endurance,
honoring and uplifting one another (R4).
“ If I was not a Christian, I would be keeping grudges and get angry all the time as am quick tempered ”(R2).
3.4 Theme 4: Centrality of religiosity in life
Respondents felt that their faith was a very key factor in their lives as it gave them direction in daily
life when they needed to make decisions and also guided their values and the choices they made in their daily
lives.
“It comes number one, then followed by other things…..it is what I run to for self-care when things are working
or not working. Worship time is my best time” (R8).
“My faith is everything, there is no other way. It guides my values and decisions” (R9)
“My spirituality has helped me a lot, before I take any actions in my marriage, my faith is helping me know
how to handle issues”. “Christ is my example” (R6).
“I cannot imagine how life would be without my faith, I would have gone on with life without thinking, it would
have been difficult, what power I would run to….maybe alcohol….no seeking God in decisions” (R9)
“I grew up in church, I have always been around God. I tell God everything and strive to do what he says” “My
faith give me a better outlook, choices and decisions”. “It has transformed my heart, priorities, it has made me
be in the earth but not of the earth….principles of God are the foundation of the earth and must be lived by”.
(R5).

“Spirituality means everything, it is my life. Everything holds together on account of my Christianity. The
power of the Holy Spirit guides me and leads me.” (R4).
They reported that their faith gave them stability, grounding and that they depended on God for everything. This
gave them hope that things would be well even during difficulty as they were not alone.
“It guides me and gives me strength in daily work even in my counseling work” (R8)
There is hope of eternal life” The safest place for any marriage is one founded on Christian principals, the divine
power keeps it in check, I believe God defends those who are his and preserves marriages of those who are
Christians…”. “For any human being to thrive, he needs that kind of environment provided by the Christian
environment in the church” (R4).
“I am always aware that my faith is the basis for my walk, I do things differently, it is my roadmap”. (R2)
3.5 Theme 5: Action oriented evidence of religiosity
The respondents indicated that they lived out their spirituality in daily life practically through specific
activities and rituals.
“ I practice my faith by hanging out in fellowships, serving, using the gifting God has given me and constantly
trying to do what the bible says like taking care of the poor” (R9)
“I allow it to lead, I pray about things to do which gives me peace about it” (R8).
“Reading the word helps me a lot”. “The teachings help me a lot, my family prays together every morning and
we have bible study with the children in the evening”. (R6)
“ We serve in church together in the same department…, I help her wake up and assist with the children to
ensure we make it to church in good time” (R6).
“I read the bible daily even if I do not read, I feel a longing, and it is part of my life, a priority. I give to God in
money, fasting, prayer, seminars and however the holy spirit empowers” (R5).
I live my spirituality out through the practice of prayer, fellowship through going to church, fellowship through
cell groups, reading the bible, participating in devotion and also serving in church” “ I honor God by honoring
my marriage” (R4).
“I pray and read the word of God” (R2).
“I live out my faith as a practical lifestyle, a consciousness to be like Christ. It is my mirror for taking stock”
(R1).
3.6 Theme 6: Impact of spirituality on marriage and life in general
The respondents reported that spirituality had impacted their marriages and family positively.
“ Although my spouse is not born again, when he acknowledges that God is important, when he says that it is
God that provides not hard work....taking small changes and making them count, like when he leads prayer….it
is powerful for me….he impacts his children when they see him pray even in restaurants”. “He says that I have
shown him the value of believing and depending on God. Seeing him read the bible, pray, lead prayer, which he
didn’t before.” (R8)
“My spouse was not always born again, his anger and fighting has been overcome through my influence; he has
learnt to deal with them a certain way”. “During difficulty, he helps us turn to God, helps the children see that
God is higher than man. He taught the children to pray” (R9)
“My marriage would never have survived, I run to my faith….” (R8)
“My marriage would have been quite different as I would have used culture or traditions to manage. I would
have learnt from my parents. I now learn from scripture and others who have made it in marriage. My faith has
set a new standard in marriage” (R6)
“My spouse prays with me, she challenges me to pray, during decision making when I forget to pray about it,
she reminds me”. “We take our children to church within 3- 4 days of their birth”. “I do not regret marriage and
I am happy”. “ Marriage is ordained by God, decide in advance it will work, do not have a perception that it will
not work, I learn from the marriages that I know work, I enhance my marriage through Christian books, prayer
and reading the word of God (R6).
“If I did not have my faith, I would have married the wrong person as marriage is ordained by God. I
had to pray for a life partner. I would have been Clubbing. If I was not married to a believer, I would struggle,
we strive to do the right thing”. “When am down and cannot pray, he sets the example he shows the children
how to read scripture, he counsels them…as a man of God, he brings the family to God”. “Women shape men,
during first years of marriage, we went to different churches, I prayed and we ended up in a neutral church. I
believe reading the bible and going to church influenced him and shaped the marriage”. “There are challenges I
would not have overcome without my faith” (R5).
“If I was not born again, I imagine I would have succumbed to the usual immorality, I would handle issues of
marriage differently, if faced with marital issues”. “The kind of respect and honor I hold my marriage with is
due to my Christian life. (R4)
5. The Influence of Religiosity on Marital Satisfaction And Stability Among Christians In Kenya.
*Corresponding Author **Webbo Roselynne Kyambi 11 | Page
“My spouse’s faith affects my marriage through the issue of accountability, there is support and
edifying and encouraging each other in the Christian walk, when I feel down, she holds my hand and we pray,
when am feeling too tired to go to church, she helps me go to church, even correcting me when I deviate….we
check each other.” “I have impacted her positively… she was a catholic when we were dating, she converted. As
a priest of the home, she looks up to me for direction, she honors me in relation to bible instruction, so I feel
honored and respected, she knows her place in the marriage as a Christian, wife and marriage. My impact on her
has caused her to grown, serve in church. I am a deacon, she then supports in other areas as wife of a deacon.” “
Just by the fact that we are Christians means walking in alignment with God helps us keep our marriage in
check; God honors the institution so I believe through that we are blessed…so we have never had issues in our
marriage, and if they are to arise, we have a way of dealing with them, not like in the world what other people
do. We have scripture to refer to, we are also bringing up our children in the ways of The Lord, we have taken
then to church to learn the word, their character is shaped by the word of God, fortified by when they see us
going to church, serving in church, so we are demonstrating” (R4).
“Being a Christian has brought a lot of order and transparency and accountability and my spouse
supports me as he knows am in church; there is growth, one goal and harmony”. “I learnt from my spouse” as
when she watched him serve in church, she became eager as she admired the commitment. “I feel secure due to
the values in my marriage, it gives security and trust” (R2).
“ Without my faith, I would live by dictates of life, no foundation, what you think in marriage as
opposed to God’s terms of humility and listening as a husband” “ Jesus is the Centre, marriage without
spirituality is hopeless, with him at the center, you have purpose and are able to solve anything. It defines my
life” (R1).
IV. DISCUSSION
The above findings indicated that indeed being committed to their religion improved the marital
relationship as the participants reported that it made them more united, humble, accountable and honest with
each other. It helped them have patience, forgiveness and strength to overcome the challenges they encountered
in their marriage.The above findings are in agreement with previous studies. Scanzoni and Arnett (1987 [23])
found that public and private religious activities helped partners cultivate purpose and values centered on loving,
caring and forgiveness (Holeman 2003[24]); meaning that religious participation enhances relational qualities
that reduce marital conflict. Lambert and Dollahite (2006[25]) study of 57 married couples from Christian,
Judaism and Islam denominations indicated that highly religious couple’s beliefs and practices helped them (a)
prevent problems in the relationship (b) resolve conflict and (c) work toward relational reconciliation after
conflict. It appears that religion offers couples theologically grounded guidelines on how to handle marital
conflicts when they arise (Mahoney et al., 2003[26]).
Some of the respondents reported that they prayed together, read the bible together, served in church
together and held each other accountable on living out their faith. Research findings indicate that shared
religious goals enhance the quality of marriage. Dudley and Kosinki (1990[27]) report that marital satisfaction is
linked to correspondence between spouses about church attendance and spirituality rather than religiosity itself.
Further research suggests that perceived relationship between marital satisfaction and religiosity is likely due to
spousal homogeny and similarities, which are factors conducive to more stable and satisfying marriages (Lehrer
&Chiswick, 1993[28]).
V. LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
A limitation of the study is that the research depended on self-reports of the individuals rather than
independent reports by other people who would be able to give an objective evaluation on how religiosity has
impacted the respondents marriages. The respondents may be giving positive reports even if the reality was
negative as they know they are expected to behave in line with Christian ideals.
VI. CONCLUSION
The emergent overall concept was that religiosity impacted the marital relationship by inspiring
positive attitudes and attributes within the individuals. These attributes resulted in behaviors that created
conducive conditions for marital satisfaction amidst the daily challenges of conflict, and maintaining
commitment and faithfulness within the marriage. The study clearly identified that certain attributes associated
with religiosity had a positive impact on how the participants experienced their marriages and related with their
partner; and that the practice of religiosity impacted the participants positively in the way they handled issues
and how they related with their spouses which in turn led to marital satisfaction. Further research to establish
more reliable figures of divorces within the church will assist to confirm if religiosity translates into fewer
divorces in church when compared to the secular population.
