While scholars have studied proverbs in literary texts and from diverse African communities, there is little focus on form and content of proverbs in Chuka ethnic community. Therefore, this study was necessary because it filled the existing gap by investigating how the interface of form and content in Gĩchuka proverbs enhances cultural expression in those proverbs.

Abstract: Hill stations were developed by the British in colonised lands as settlements to make themselves comfortable. These hill stations were typically developed in areas that the British identified as similar to landscapes back home. Garrisons were established along with health sanatoriums, which helped in forming a retreat from the summer heat. The urbanscape of these hill stations reflected quaint British towns with anglicised names, wide avenues lined with trees similar to those found in Europe, meandering walks and trails, low population density, and large estates.......

Abstract Flooding remains one of the most persistent disasters in Nairobi County, repeatedly
destroying infrastructure, displacing communities, and straining emergency response
systems. While AI technologies have the potential to transform flood crisis mitigation
through predictive modelling, early warning systems, and real-time decision-support, their
adoption in Nairobi, remains low and uneven. This study investigates the level of adoption
of AI technologies......

Abstract: Este artigo examina a trajetória histórico-geográfica da urbanização, da sedentarização neolítica às atuais cidades inteligentes, enfatizando a relação dialética entre tecnologia, organização socioeconômica e disputas pelo espaço. Partindo do conceito mumfordiano de “cidade orgânica”, revisita-se a formação das primeiras urbes mesopotâmicas e egípcias, a expansão de impérios territoriais e universais, o florescimento das cidades-estado, a urbanização colonial, a industrialização e a reconstrução modernista do pós-guerra. Na era da globalização informacional, analisam-se cidades globais........

Abstract: This study aims to analyze whether the reduction of the age of criminal responsibility is the most effective measure to inhibit the commission of violent offenses committed by individuals under the age of 18. Several Constitutional Amendment Proposals on the subject are currently pending in the National Congress, making it essential that the issue be examined from a technical perspective, free from public outcry and intense media influence. The reduction of the age of criminal responsibility requires a qualified approach, presenting concrete elements capable of demonstrating its actual effectiveness in addressing juvenile delinquency.......
