Abstract

This publication exposes in a simple and relevant way the policies of the first three kings of the Davidic dynasty. These kings had different perspectives but were able to change the future of their nation in their respective ways. David used power in order to make his people free from the pagan nations; Solomon ruled wisely to enrich and place Israel in the same level of the great nations around them; and Rehoboam wished to have more power and authority than his ancestors and tried to find another policy to govern Israel. But in any case, their ways of governing marked the story of Israel. This research will help us to understand the reason for the success and defeat of these kings, so that we can learn from them for a better future.

Abstract

On the one hand, discipline is the main strength of the military. On the other hand, without discipline, there is total anarchy within the military compound. But on the other hand, without God, the army works in vain. A soldier is first of all a man or a woman, that is to say a human body, endowed with a body, a soul and a spirit. The three work in harmony. This is what differentiates man from animal and other creatures of God. These are the ideas on which this article is based. The army will always be close to God, even considered as the third institution of God. It’s been talked about a lot, and it’s written from beginning to end in the Bible. It even looks like it’s God’s temple. This article presents a Christian perspective of soldiers, preparing them for non-traditional ministry, training them to make the profession of faith. The key is to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to every uniformed man and woman in the military, and then spread the gospel through the military chaplaincy to the military families. The ministry among the military is biblical. Is this call to chaplaincy the biblical basis of military profession, in order to prepare soldiers spiritually?

Abstract

This article talks about poverty and Christian commitments in the face of it. This article is important because it brings a new practice to fight poverty. It’s destiny for political and theologian who emit the politic of developpement. Poverty is a situation caused by the destabilization of society. The poor are sometimes victims of oppression and injustice. This situation can affect anyone, even Christians. But God created man to live in good situation and prosperity. He wants to lift man out of poverty. Indeed, the theme of this article is: Christians and the challenge of poverty in the case of Ambohidavenona. To address this subject, it is essential to know the aspect of poverty in this environment, as well as the Christian commitment to face it. Even though the initiatives and actions of the church, the Christians of Ambohidavenona still live in general, economic, social and spiritual poverty. Overcoming poverty is truly God's plan. It would then be appropriate to improve the attitude of the rich towards the poor, consolidate Christian solidarity, intensify work as a source of income and, above all, strengthen faith in God. So the practice of theology of liberation, based on Christian commitment to the poor.

Abstract

This inquiry, conducted within a Public Primary School (PPS) of Soavinandriana, investigates the multifaceted dynamics of the school-family relationship and its consequential influence on student learning and development. Examining parental perspectives, school expectations, communication strategies, and the overarching impact of school climate across preschool and elementary settings reveals a complex interplay of historical experiences, evolving societal contexts, and individual perceptions. The establishment of robust educator-family connections, facilitated by transparent communication and collaborative initiatives, emerges as a cornerstone of effective partnerships. Parental expectations, primarily centered on academic progress and child well-being, underscore the shared objectives of home and school in Soavinandriana. The study highlights the critical role of trust, cultivated through mutual respect and consistent dialogue, in fostering meaningful parental engagement within the PPS. Furthermore, it underscores the cyclical nature of positive involvement, wherein effective communication and school-initiated integration efforts lead to increased parental participation and enhanced student outcomes specific to this Malagasy school. Conversely, ambiguities in communication and differing parental representations of schooling can present challenges to this vital partnership within the Soavinandriana context. Ultimately, optimizing student learning and fostering holistic development within this PPS necessitates a concerted effort to cultivate a synergistic home-school ecosystem. This involves proactively addressing parental expectations, promoting clear and consistent communication, and nurturing a positive and inclusive school climate that values the diverse experiences and perspectives of both families and educators in Soavinandriana. Recognizing the reciprocal influences within this relationship is paramount for creating a supportive and cohesive educational environment within this particular Malagasy primary school.

Abstract

A comprehensive study of lithium extraction from Vakinankaratra, Madagascar spodumene through sulfuric acid digestion and subsequent aqueous leaching is presented. The process initiates with calcination, a pretreatment designed to induce the alpha-to-beta phase transformation of spodumene, resulting in decreased density, increased friability, and enhanced chemical reactivity. Characterization of the ore, employing X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), revealed a mineralogical composition dominated by oxides of lithium, silicon, aluminum, potassium, and fluorine, confirming the presence of economically relevant lithium concentrations. The investigation explored the influence of reaction time, varying from one to three hours, at elevated digestion temperatures. Rigorous optimization of experimental parameters was conducted, yielding significant insights into the leaching process. The findings demonstrate a strong correlation between lithium extraction efficiency and the ore-to-acid ratio, temperature, and, most notably, reaction time. Under optimized conditions, specifically a reaction temperature of 250°C and a duration of three hours, a 92% lithium extraction rate was achieved for both calcined spodumene and lepidolite samples. This study provides a detailed understanding of the critical parameters governing lithium extraction from Malagasy spodumene, contributing to the development of efficient and industrially applicable extraction methodologies.

Abstract

Flacourtia ramontchi is a medicinal plant deeply rooted in the traditional practices of Madagascar, where a decoction from its leaves and bark is commonly used to treat respiratory ailments such as asthma and dry coughs. The present study was conducted to provide a scientific foundation for these traditional uses by performing a comprehensive phytochemical analysis. The investigation involved the successive maceration of powdered bark and leaf samples using a series of solvents of increasing polarity, namely n-hexane, dichloromethane (DCM), and methanol. This extraction process yielded a variety of crude extracts, with the highest yields for both plant parts obtained from the non-polar hexane solvent, suggesting a rich presence of non-polar constituents. Phytochemical screening of the extracts identified a significant abundance of secondary metabolites with recognized therapeutic value. The bark and leaves were particularly rich in polyphenols, tannins, and flavonoids, compounds known for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, which scientifically validate the plant's traditional medicinal applications. Following the preliminary screening, the DCM bark extract was selected for further separation and purification. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was optimized to an ideal hexane/DCM (30:70) mobile phase, revealing four dominant constituents. This strategic approach led to the subsequent isolation of a pure compound via column chromatography. The fraction with the highest yield was chosen for structural elucidation. The structure of the isolated compound was determined using mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, including ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR. Spectral data analysis, specifically the molecular ion peak in the mass spectrum at m/z 300 and the carbon and proton signals from the NMR data, confirmed the compound to be spruceanol, a diterpenoid. This finding is a significant contribution to the understanding of the plant’s chemical composition.

Abstract

Chronic malnutrition in Madagascar's Haute Matsiatra region is linked to severe deficits in animal protein and micronutrients. This study evaluates the nutritional composition and market dynamics of three indigenous micro-crustacean species (collectively known as patsa or chevaquine) for sustainable valorization within a Blue Circular Economy framework.Nutritional analysis established the Red Shrimp (Caridina serratirostris) as a superior functional food. It possesses extraordinary density of critical nutrients, including 46,174 ppm of Calcium and an unparalleled 5,360 ppm of Iron (Fe was undetectable in other varieties). Furthermore, its high 22.37 % Lipid content makes it a crucial calorie-dense resource, yielding 1,607.8 kcal/100 g. Market data from Anjoma Market indicated a high-value, high-demand profile for the Red Shrimp, but also significant supply chain fragility. In contrast, the White Shrimp (Acetes erythraeus), despite low market value, showed greater commercial stability, with up to 5.4 % of vendors selling 10 to 50 kg/day. The proposed valorization strategy is two-tiered: The limited, high-value Red Shrimp supply should be dedicated to nutritional powder fortification, while the higher-volume White Shrimp should be directed toward aquaculture feed concentrates. Overcoming pervasive constraints—especially the high > 88 % Moisture content and lack of cold storage—mandates the immediate deployment of localized solar drying technologies to transform this biomass into stable, high-value ingredients.

Abstract

Confronting critical imperatives of global food security and environmental sustainability, this investigation delineated the nutritional and mineral composition of the invasive African Giant Snail, Lissachatina fulica, thriving in Madagascar. Using standard biochemical assays and Total Reflection X-ray Fluorescence (TXRF) spectroscopy on a cohort of 30 individuals, the shell, flesh, and mucus were precisely evaluated. The resultant data reveal a compelling paradigm for integral bioresource valorization based on functional complementarity. The flesh exhibits a remarkable protein concentration of 63.58 % on a dry matter (DM) basis and contains substantial levels of essential micronutrients, notably Magnesium (1.57 % DM) and Iron (0.42 % DM). This profile validates the snail as a high-quality, sustainable protein resource capable of significantly fortifying regional food security initiatives. The mucus fraction is notably distinguished by its richness in protein (74.13 % DM) and Silicon (1.27 %), emphatically corroborating its high potential for therapeutic and cosmetic dermatological applications. The shell, overwhelmingly calcareous, boasts an elevated calcium concentration of 18.15 %, positioning it as a compelling source for nutritional supplements or advanced biomaterials. Crucially, the rigorous chemical analysis established the absence of detectable levels of toxic heavy metals (Pb, Cd, As, Hg) across all fractions, incontrovertibly affirming the safety and innocuousness of these derived materials. This study decisively substantiates the potential for harnessing a problematic invasive organism as a key green bioresource, validating the deployment of a holistic, "zero-waste" circular economy approach contributing synergistically to both nutritional security and sustainable economic development in Madagascar.

Abstract

This investigation rigorously assessed the bioinsecticidal potential of methanolic root and leaf extracts derived from Vetiveria zizanioides sourced from three distinct Malagasy chemotypes (Sambava, Fianarantsoa, and Tsiroamandidy). The primary goal was to validate a sustainable, botanical alternative for preserving stored cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) against the destructive pest, Callosobruchus maculatus. The vetiver root extracts demonstrated potent, dose-dependent efficacy across all bioassays. Specifically, at concentrations of 60 μl/l of air or higher, the extracts induced complete adult mortality within 72 hours via contact, and nearly total mortality within 48 hours via fumigation. The Tsiroamandidy chemotype proved particularly efficacious, achieving total mortality by the second day at the maximum dose. Critically, the extracts exhibited profound ovicidal activity, resulting in zero egg hatchability even at the minimum concentration of 10 μl/l, completely suppressing reproduction. This decisive biological action translated into significant commodity protection: seed weight loss, which was 25% in untreated controls, was virtually eliminated at the 60 μl/l threshold, consequently preserving seed quality and germination viability. In sharp contrast, the leaf extracts showed severely limited efficacy, achieving a maximum mortality of only 40% even at the highest tested dose. These findings conclusively validate the vetiver root extract as a highly promising, natural biopesticide for the sustainable management of C. maculatus.

Abstract

The global reliance on synthetic pesticides for preserving stored cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) seeds is jeopardized by rising insect resistance and food contamination, necessitating urgent exploration of safe, botanical alternatives. This study evaluates the biocidal and repellent potential of essential oils extracted from three geographically distinct Malagasy chemotypes of vetiver (Vetiveria zizanioides) Sambava, Fianarantsoa, and Tsiroamandidy against the devastating stored-product pest, Callosobruchus maculatus F. Chemical profiling revealed distinct compositions, with the Tsiroamandidy essential oil notably enriched in the sesquiterpenoids Khusimol (19.1%) and Zizanoic acid (15.1%). Bioassays demonstrated profound insecticidal effects proportional to concentration (10 to 80μl/l). The oils exhibited rapid fumigant toxicity, with all three chemotypes achieving 100% adult mortality at 60μl/l by 48 hours of exposure. Furthermore, the oils proved to be powerful reproductive inhibitors. Female fertility was completely suppressed at a concentration of 30μl/l, drastically reducing oviposition from the control average of 122 eggs. Most critically, the ovicidal activity was exceptional: the egg hatching rate and subsequent adult emergence (viability) were both completely inhibited (0%) even at the lowest tested dose of 10μl/l (control hatching rate : 82%). Beyond direct lethality, the essential oils demonstrated significant protection through repellency, classifying in the Highly Repellent (Class V) category at concentrations ≥60μl/l. These findings establish regional V. zizanioides essential oils as exceptionally potent, multi-action biopesticides, offering a sustainable and highly effective solution for cowpea preservation.
