Church–government Collaborative Initiatives And Their Effectiveness In Enhancing Climate Change Adaptation In Semi-arid Kenya
Climate change presents significant challenges in semi-arid regions, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa where livelihoods are highly climate-sensitive. This study examines church-government collaborative initiatives and their effectiveness in enhancing climate change adaptation in Tharaka South Sub-County, Kenya. A mixed-methods case study design was employed, integrating surveys (n = 133), interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis. Findings indicate that collaboration between
Lifelong Learning As An Organizing Principle Of Post-industrial Education Systems: Toward A Conceptual Framework For Continuous Education
Lifelong learning has become a prominent focus in global education reform; however, it remains sufficiently theorized as a structural principle shaping education systems. Most research treats lifelong learning as an extension of adult education or workforce reskilling rather than as a core logic that reorganizes educational institutions, governance, and knowledge production. This conceptual paper redefines lifelong learning as a guiding
Vietnam’s 2024 Land Law In Light Of The Requirements For Green And Sustainable Economic Development
This paper critically examines the extent to which Vietnam's 2024 Land Law aligns with the requirements of green economic transformation and sustainable development in the context of global climate commitments and shifting development paradigms. Drawing upon an original conceptual framework "Green Land Law Framework" - the study reconceptualizes land law as an integrated governance instrument that simultaneously advances environmental sustainability,

An N-gram-driven T-sql Security Framework For Sql Injection Detection And Prevention
SQL injection (SQLI) remains one of the most dangerous threats to database-driven applications. Existing SQL injection prevention techniques suffer from limitations such as high false positives, processing overhead, and weak runtime validation. This study proposes an N-GRAM-driven Transact-SQL (T-SQL) security framework for detecting and preventing SQL injection attacks within Microsoft SQL Server stored procedures. The framework integrates N-GRAM character analysis
