Abstract

The mathematical constant π (approximately 3.14159) appears ubiquitously across geometry, physics, probability, and cosmology. Its universality and non-arbitrariness have prompted philosophical and theological questions about whether π is a human tool, a discovered law, or evidence of design. Purpose: This multidisciplinary review integrates mathematics, physics, astronomy, biblical hermeneutics, theology, and philosophy of science to evaluate the Argument from Design using π. The review synthesizes peer-reviewed literature, scriptural analysis (1 Kings 7:23), and philosophical critiques, including theistic and naturalistic counterarguments. π's universality, logical necessity, and unreasonable effectiveness (Wigner, 1960) are compatible with theism but do not prove it. Major counterarguments include π as human abstraction (Rosen, 2012), logical necessity (Carroll, 2016), no causal connection, God of the gaps (Stenger, 2007), and multiverse hypotheses (Tegmark, 2014). π functions as a "Rorschach test" for worldviews, scientists see a tool, and theologians see a signature. The design argument is probabilistic, not deductive. Future research should integrate empirical studies on mathematical cognition and cross-cultural perceptions of constants.

Abstract

Ethiopian diglossia (Ge‛ez/Amharic) has long been described as a functional hierarchy between liturgical and everyday language. However, this classical model does not explain why Amharic and Oromo speakers exhibit both elaborate politeness (yilugnta) and forceful direct reproach among intimates a paradox that challenges universal politeness frameworks. This study investigates how indigenous astronomical knowledge regulates the speech act of Mekdes (loyal reproach) and proposes an integrated model of Ethiopian verbal character that extends diglossia theory beyond the linguistic domain. A mixed methods ethnographic design was employed, comprising structured interviews with 250 participants (145 male, 105 female) across Addis Ababa, Adama, Debre Berhan, Dire Dawa, and Hawasa; 30 hours of naturalistic audio recorded interactions; elicitation of 50 star related proverbs; and extended participant observation during planting seasons and ritual festivals. Mekdes is a face building act characterised by raised volume, slower tempo, direct pronouns, and forward lean—features that signal belonging rather than threat. The heliacal rising of Bakkalcha (Pleiades) marks the transition from polite caution to permissible reproach. Star names (Saddu: unity; Gulshān: revelation; Gabbiya: accountability) encode moral pedagogy. Celestial diglossia a functional split between priestly and farmer level astronomical registers parallels linguistic diglossia and authorises Mekdes through distinct channels. Ethiopian verbal character is not contradictory but bidirectionally regulated by celestial time. The stars provide a moral clock that tells speakers when a relationship has ripened from stranger hood to intimacy, thereby transforming reproach from face threat into face gift. Educational curricula, intercultural training, and language policy should integrate indigenous astronomical knowledge as essential to communicative competence in Ethiopian highland communities.

Abstract

Climate change represents a fundamental challenge to the conceptual apparatus of the social sciences. The phenomena of global warming carbon flows that ignore borders, supply chains that span continents and vulnerabilities that are unequally distributed – cannot be adequately captured by traditional vocabularies centered on the nation‑state, international cooperation, or technical mitigation. This review article synthesises the new conceptual vocabulary that has emerged in social science scholarship since the early 2000s, focusing on concepts that explicitly reframe climate change as a problem of globalisation, power, and justice. I identify five thematic clusters: (1) spatial re‑imaginings (planetary boundaries, anthroposphere, transnational governance); (2) power and historical inequality (carbon democracy, climate colonialism, ecological unequal exchange); (3) justice beyond distribution (loss and damage, just transition, slow violence); (4) critiques of market‑based solutions (carbon offsets, green growth/degrowth); and (5) temporal and geo‑social frames (Anthropocene vs. Capitalocene). The review argues that these concepts collectively perform three critical functions: they expose the spatial asymmetries embedded in globalisation, challenge methodological nationalism, and open normative debates about climate justice and transformation. The article concludes by identifying gaps notably the under‑theorisation of climate‑finance instruments and the marginalisation of non‑Western conceptual traditions and proposes a research agenda for the next generation of critical climate social science.

Abstract

Project‑based learning (PBL) promotes deeper learning but often fails to accommodate diverse cognitive profiles. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers adaptive scaffolding, while Multiple Intelligences (MI) theory provides a differentiation framework. However, no quantitative synthesis has examined their combined effect on academic achievement. This meta‑analysis synthesizes evidence on the synergy of AI and MI within PBL and estimates the overall effect on academic achievement, together with key moderators. Methods: Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, we systematically searched Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, PsycINFO, and ProQuest Dissertations (2015–2025). Inclusion criteria were: (a) empirical studies with control/comparison groups; (b) interventions combining AI tools and MI‑based differentiation in PBL; (c) reported academic achievement data; (d) K‑16 learners. Random‑effects meta‑analysis, moderator analyses, and publication bias tests were performed. Forty‑two studies (N = 8,943) were included. The overall effect was moderate and positive (Hedges’ g = 0.48, 95% CI [0.39, 0.57], p < .001). Significant moderators were AI role (scaffolding > content generation > assessment), MI implementation method (student choice > teacher‑assigned/fixed), and education level (secondary > primary > tertiary). Subject domain did not moderate the effect. Publication bias was minimal (Egger’s p = 0.12), and sensitivity analyses confirmed robustness. AI and MI synergize effectively in PBL, yielding meaningful academic gains that exceed the isolated effects of either component. Educators should embed AI as a scaffolding tool (not an automaton) and allow students to choose MI‑aligned project roles. Policymakers should invest in AI tools with MI‑differentiation capabilities for PBL curricula.

Abstract

Mainstream eco-theological readings of Genesis 2:4–17 have emphasized “stewardship” or “dominion” without engaging African Indigenous legal systems or the concrete climate knowledge of Ethiopian women. The Oromo moral-ecological law of Safuu, a system of prohibitions against pollution, deforestation, and over-extraction remains largely absent from biblical interpretation and climate justice discourse. This article advances an Ethio-ecofeminist reading of Genesis 2:4–17, arguing that the creation narrative, interpreted through Safuu and the lived agency of Ethiopian women as seed-keepers, water fetchers, and sacred-grove guardians, yields a juridical-ecological mandate for climate justice. The study employs decolonial feminist biblical criticism and Oromo epistemology, conducting a verse-by-verse exegesis of Genesis 2:4–17 alongside ethnographic and policy analysis of Ethiopian women’s climate burdens, the Gadaa governance system, and forest carbon offset schemes. Findings: The Hebrew adam-adamah kinship resonates with Oromo Uumaa (creation as family); the prohibition of the tree of knowledge functions as a Safuu boundary protecting interdependence; and the mandate to avad and samar (to till and to keep) charges humans with sacred service and protective guardianship. Ethiopian women’s watershed councils, seed cooperatives, and liturgical forest rituals enact this mandate against extractive agriculture and carbon offset projects that displace them. Conclusion: Genesis 2, read through Safuu and Ethiopian women, replaces the “dominion” model with an indigenous, gendered framework for climate justice grounded in communal land trusts, water commons, and restorative enforcement. Policy makers should recognise women’s Idir assemblies as official water governance bodies, mandate free prior informed consent for forest carbon projects, and integrate Safuu-based dispute resolution into land administration.

Abstract

The Kingdom of Aksum (c. 1st–7th centuries CE) stands as one of ancient Africa's most sophisticated civilizations, evidenced by monumental engineering feats including granite stelae weighing up to 500 tonnes. Yet by the 8th century, the centralized state had collapsed, its trade networks disintegrated, and its capacity for large-scale construction vanished. Paradoxically, the religious institutions that emerged alongside these monuments the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and its claim to house the Ark of the Covenant survived and became the enduring foundation of Ethiopian national identity for over 1,500 years. This paper addresses a central research Why did Aksum's political and technological systems collapse catastrophically while its spiritual systems demonstrated remarkable continuity? The study synthesizes archaeological evidence from the stelae field, paleoclimatic data from Lake Tana sediment cores, textual analysis of Ezana's trilingual inscriptions and the Kebra Nagast, and art historical examination of stele carving techniques and church architecture. Political and technological systems collapsed because they were fragile, centralized, and dependent on conditions that failed prolonged drought, trade disruption following Arab conquests, and soil exhaustion. Spiritual systems endured because they were decentralized, embedded in local communities, ritually reproducible without external inputs, and organized around portable or concealable symbols, particularly the Ark of the Covenant. Aksum's state exemplified a high-complexity, low-resilience system, while its religious institutions constituted lower complexity but higher resilience. Future research should pursue three directions: excavation of post-Aksumite rural settlements to understand local adaptation; paleoethnobotanical analysis of agricultural change during the drought period; and comparative study of religious resilience in other collapsed African states, including Great Zimbabwe and the Nubian kingdoms of Makuria and Alodia.
