Abstract

In the ancient city of Philippi, resonant with echoes of a bygone prosperity, the apostle Paul wove an indelible narrative in his epistle to the Philippians. Penned during his Roman imprisonment, this literary masterpiece, nestled within the realm of captivity epistles, expresses gratitude to a church intimately entwined with Paul's challenges. At its core lies a profound theme—the "Kenosis of Jesus Christ," unraveling divine humility as expounded in Philippians 2:5-11. This theological journey delves into diverse interpretations by researchers, spanning epochs from the Church Fathers to contemporary theologians. While the Church Fathers grapple with the dual nature of Jesus, reformers and modern theologians provide nuanced perspectives, revealing the enduring relevance of kenosis. The ramifications of kenosis on Malagasy life manifest in humanitarian salvation, exemplified in the voluntary abasement and subsequent exaltation of Jesus Christ outlined in Philippians 2:5-11. This transformative power extends beyond theological discourse, influencing progress, national reconciliation, and ecclesiastical renewal in the daily life of Madagascar. Examining the compatibility of kenosis with Madagascar's development, we discern its potential as both a tool and an obstacle. As an effective tool, kenosis aligns with the true preaching of the Gospel and the lived experience of humility, fostering a trajectory toward societal flourishing. However, as an obstacle, it is manifested in the tolerance of injustice, and conflicting with the current societal situation. Kenosis emerges as a profound concept in Christian theology, inviting believers to embody the humility exemplified by Christ. The theological journey traverses diverse interpretations, illuminating the richness and complexity of this motif. In the context of Madagascar, kenosis catalyzes positive shifts in daily life, national reconciliation, and ecclesiastical renewal. This paradigm offers a transformative pathway for countries in progress, transcending economic metrics to embrace societal flourishing. The compatibility of kenosis with Madagascar's development calls for a recalibration of societal values, blending true Gospel preaching and humility to counter contemporary challenges and embrace the profound meaning of kenosis.

Abstract

The present study highlights French language acquisition in primary, secondary, and public high schools in Antananarivo and its surrounding areas. Classroom observations and surveys were conducted in two public primary schools (EPP 67 ha Nord-Est and EPP Antanimena Est), two General Education Colleges (CEG Betsimitatatra and CEG Antanimena), and three public high schools (Lycée Moderne Ampefiloha, Lycée Analamahitsy, and Lycée Ivato). Field research reveals factors contributing to students' language deficits: lack of exposure, with 60.41% of students using French exclusively in school and during French classes. This leads to language deficiencies stemming from limited practice and vocabulary, observed in 43.13% of students, indicating incomplete mastery of the French language. Consequently, the majority (42.40%) resort to using dictionaries due to this vocabulary gap. Analysis of learning methods shows that most students encounter challenges across all subjects (78%), with a preference for memorization as the primary strategy (63.33%). Additionally, the majority believes that the use of visual aids is the most effective method to address their shortcomings (71.81%). Therefore, this study focuses on observing French language learning methods and aims to enhance them for more satisfactory outcomes.

Abstract

The impacts of anthropogenic risks on water resource management underscore the necessity for a careful and adaptable approach to ensure long-term sustainability. In the Ikopa Watershed in Madagascar, numerous human activities present significant challenges. Water quality is impacted by pollution resulting from agricultural practices. Uncontrolled deforestation intensifies watershed degradation, jeopardizing the availability of water resources. Rapid urbanization and escalating human activities further contribute to the deterioration of water quality. The hypothesis posits that responsible exploitation of natural resources contributes to the preservation and sustainability of water resources in the Ikopa Watershed. This study concentrates on investigating potential anthropogenic risks that influence resource degradation and the perception of mitigation measures. The main objective of this section is to assess the anthropogenic risk factors contributing to water resource degradation in the watershed. The study employs change detection studies through remote sensing and GIS approaches, complemented by social analysis. This methodology aims to identify potential anthropogenic risks affecting responsible water resource management, along with an exploration of local mitigation strategies. The results underscored potential risks faced by the local population in the watershed, including challenges associated with agriculture, urbanization, inadequate drainage network management, and high population density. Binary logistic regression analysis reveals significant connections between anthropogenic risks and the mitigation strategies adopted by local communities in the Ikopa Watershed. The findings indicate that specific characteristics of degradation or local interventions can either positively or negatively influence the adoption of these strategies.

Abstract

In order to promote the nourishment of carp in farming, four foods have been created from traditional raw materials and containing different quantities of locally produced banana flour 3%, 6%, 10%. We tested these foods which contain 36% crude proteins and 8% lipids on carp fry with an initial weight of 9g. After 50 days of experiment, the final weights of the fish fluctuated between 121.53g and 122.45g depending on the treatments used. The food containing 10% banana flour and the control food showed the highest growth and food transformation rates, with specific growth rates (SGR) of 5.18%/d and 5.14% /d as well as a conversion rate of 1.17 and 1.15 while the food with 6% banana flour obtained a SGR of 5.15 and a conversion index (CI) of 1.15 while that the food with 3% obtained a SGR of 5.14 and a CI of 1.16. Thanks to this test, we were able to observe the impact of bananas on the premature development of tilapia. We will continue to study the use of local agri-food by-products and waste in feeding this fish.

Abstract

This study explores the viability of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) and pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo subsp. Pepo) as unconventional sources for sustainable winemaking, contributing to a zero-waste circular economy in viticulture. The research employs a multidimensional methodology encompassing chemical analyses, sensory evaluations, and environmental impact assessments to scrutinize the entire lifecycle of wine production. The findings reveal watermelon wine's superiority, boasting a 14° alcohol content, while pumpkin wine ranges at 11°. Both wines maintain physico-chemical and organoleptic attributes, with minimal alterations in micronutrient content. The compost generated from processing waste contains essential nutrients for plant growth. Comparative analysis underscores the advantageous nature of this compost, laying the foundation for sustainable winemaking practices in Madagascar and illuminating the untapped potential of tropical fruits in the global viticultural landscape. This study, pioneering the valorization of unconventional fruit and vegetable in Madagascar, strives to contribute to the discourse on environmentally conscious winemaking, fostering a paradigm shift toward ecologically harmonious practices in the agro-industrial sector.
