We model the dynamics of malaria transmission taking into account climatic factors and the migration between Douala and Yaounde, Yaounde and Ngaoundere, three cities of Cameroon country. We show how variations of climatic factors such as temperature and relative humidity affect the malaria spread. We propose a meta-population model of the dynamic transmission of malaria that evolves in space and...

The simultaneous management of multiple stigmatized identities autistic, LGBTQ+, and religious -- presents an acute form of psychological strain. This article introduces and empirically validates the construct of Triple-Masking: the concurrent concealment of neurotype, sexual/gender identity, and theological doubt by autistic LGBTQ+ individuals within conservative Christian settings. Using a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design (N = 188 for quantitative phase; n = 10...

The Ambazonian conflict in Cameroon’s Anglophone regions has unfolded within an era defined by mobile connectivity, social media, and digitally mediated political contention. This article examines the role of mobile technology in shaping the conflict’s trajectory from early mobilization to prolonged armed stalemate. It argues that mobile technology functioned as both an enabling and destabilizing force: facilitating mass mobilization, diaspora coordination, documentation of...

A Necessary Paradigm Shift: Reconciling the Sacred and the Systemic in Counseling Januarius Asongu's Holistic Resilience: Counseling at the Intersection of Faith, Family, and Identity is not merely an addition to the vast literature on trauma and recovery; it is a foundational text that demands a significant re-evaluation of Western-centric counseling models. Moving decisively beyond the clinical reductionism that often fragments the human experience, Asongu provides a...

In contemporary African political discourse, few conflicts carry the historical weight and geo-political complexity of the crisis in Cameroon's Anglophone regions-the entity self-identifying as Ambazonia. Against a backdrop of increasing violence, institutional neglect, and international silence, Dr. Januarius Asongu's Forced Unity arrives as a crucial, courageous, and rigorously academic intervention. It is not merely a chronicle of conflict; it is a forensic examination...

Title: Comparing Cultures and Religions in a Postmodern World: Joseph Ki-Zerbo Versus Jacques Maritain

Author: Basile Sede Noujio

By Januarius Asongu

This paper examines the profound transformation of the Catholic Church in North America and Europe, driven by reliance on clergy and communities from Africa. This phenomenon extends beyond a demographic trend to constitute a complex ecclesiological event with multifaceted theological, cultural, and institutional implications. The analysis begins with the historic appointment of the first African-born bishop to lead a U.S. diocese, Bishop Simon Peter Engurait, using this as...

The Ambazonian struggle for self-determination, rooted in the contested postcolonial union between the former British Southern Cameroons and the Republic of Cameroon, has generated not only a protracted armed conflict but a shared crisis of nationalist identity that spans the conflict zone and the global diaspora. As prospects for decisive military victory have receded, the movement has entered a condition of deferred nationhood, characterized by identity dislocation,...

Contemporary moral inquiry is marked by a persistent tension between claims to objective moral truth and the realities of human finitude, cultural pluralism, and historical contingency. Robust moral realism promises normativity and critique but is often charged with dogmatism or moral imperialism; anti-realist and constructivist approaches illuminate the interpretive character of valuation but risk dissolving moral authority into preference, convention, or power. This...

This article examines the catastrophic consequences of the sustained school boycott strategy in Cameroon's Anglophone conflict. We argue that what separatist leaders termed the "broken pencil" strategy has backfired, engineering a profound case of coerced cognitive depletion. Through the systematic dismantling of education, the conflict has forced the exodus of over two-thirds of the region's professional class while depriving an estimated 850,000 children of years of...

Prevailing models of immigrant political behavior in the United States commonly predict alignment with progressive parties based on material self-interest, minority status, and vulnerability to exclusionary immigration policy. Yet during the Trump era, a visible subset of continental African immigrants expressed support for Donald Trump despite nativist rhetoric, restrictive immigration measures, and personal moral scandal. This article argues that the apparent paradox is...

Quantum mechanics is the most empirically successful theory in modern science, yet its conceptual and ontological foundations remain deeply contested. Persistent disagreements over the status of the quantum state, the nature of measurement, and the role of the observer bifurcate the field into realist, instrumentalist, and constructivist camps. This article proposes Critical Synthetic Realism (CSR) as a coherent philosophical framework for resolving these foundational...

Critical Synthetic Realism (CSR) is the comprehensive philosophical framework developed by Januarius Asongu to address the epistemic, ethical, educational, and institutional crises of contemporary global society. This article offers the first systematic, journal-length exposition of CSR as an integrated philosophy encompassing metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, philosophy of science, philosophy of education, political philosophy, and philosophy of religion. Against the twin...
