Abstract: Whether control variable is more important than the capability of the implementers is still a debate among the experts. In Smith's theory, which represents bottom-up approach, the capability of the implementers has a higher score than the control variable, while in Sabatier and Mazmanian's theory, which represents the top-down approach, the control variable has a higher score. To know about this issue, the writer discussed it in the research findings entitled "The implementation of Village Fund Allocation (VFA) Program in Kutai Kartanegara District." This research aims to analyze 1) the roles of control variable and the forms of control in the implementation of Village Fund Allocation Program in Kutai Kartanegara District. 2) The roles of the capability, honesty as well as the commitment of the implementers. This research applied qualitative method. The data were collected through depth interview, documentation and observation. The data were analyzed by using interactive model of data analysis from Miles and Huberman.
Keywords: Control Variable, the capability of the implementers, Smith's Model of Policy Implementation, VFA (Village Fund Allocation) Program

Abstract: Stress is a major global health challenge affecting the well-being of service providers especially those working in the human service sectors like; police officers, teachers, health care providers and media specialists. This study was prompted by emerging information from studies that, stress is a silent killer that affects the health of service providers leading to; mental, physical, and emotional disorders. The study adopted the Causal Comparative ex-post facto research design. The target population was 451 police constables and 12 Officers Commanding Stations in the four police divisions in Kisumu County. Stratified random sampling technique was used to sample 105 police constables and 4 Officers Commanding Station (OCS). The data was collected using a Police Constable Questionnaire and an Officer Commanding Station Interview Schedule. The instruments were validated by experts while reliability was estimated by use of Cronbach Alpha method for internal consistency. The questionnaire yielded a reliability coefficient of 0.88. Quantitative and qualitative data were obtained. Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences for Windows (Version 20). Descriptive statistics and inferential statistical (Chi-Square) were used in data analysis. The key findings of the study were that: police constables in Kisumu County were experiencing occupational stress. Working environment, work overload and work schedule were causes of occupational stress. The study recommends that: Police service commission should develop a policy on stress management to guide the induction, operations and counselling of Police Constables on their day to day duties.

Title | : | Reflections on the Politics of Immigration Problem in Assam: A Historical Perspective |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Sanghamitra Sarma |
: | 10.9790/0837-191133844 |
Abstract:The initial euphoria of independence from colonial rule in India soon subsided when Assam, one of the northeastern states of the country had to face a major challenge in the form of immigration into its territory. This was however not a post – colonial phenomenon. Immigration was a colonial policy designed to accomplish imperialistic designs of the British rulers. The paper explores the historical origins of the problem of immigration in colonial and post – colonial Assam and the politics that was being played within it which escalated the magnitude of the problem.

Abstract:Although there may be a level of abstraction at which similarities can be made to appear, there is also a level of specificity at which differences create a significant gap." (Katherine Hayles,)
The study of writing systems has had a long history within the discipline of anthropology, and opinions concerning its importance and the kind of problems it should address have shown diversity. This book tries to deal with the concept of literacy in various traditional societies, and how writing has influenced literacy.

Abstract: Our learning culture and education system have taken a techno-craft stand and the teaching-learning process without classroom is on the move today. Learning style has been shaped ever since we encountered cyber technology and brought the same to language classrooms. Bringing technology in education, especially language learning caters to the need of contemporary language learners. Today, language learning is empowered by techno-centric, socio-economic, political, cultural and academic environments. It's not just LSRW; it is not just the basic language skills.

Title | : | The End of Apartheid: A Redefinition of Nigeria Foreign Policy |
Country | : | Nigeria |
Authors | : | Dr. John Danfulani |
: | 10.9790/0837-191135357 |
Abstract: Africa has been the centrepiece of Nigerian foreign policy since the lowering of the Union Jack on 1st October, 1960. This afrocentrists principle has been consistently sustained from the First Republic down to the lane. The nasty experiences with some states in the continent during Nigeria's thirty months of civil war couldn't mastermind a shift in the county's afrocentrist Foreign policy principle. Much of the foreign policy endeavours went to supporting decolonisation processes across the continent and fight against minority racist rule in South Africa. Apart from direct support to liberation movements, Nigeria made a case in international fora in support of colonies under the yoke of colonial domination and racist regimes.

Abstract: Mizoram is one of the North Eastern states of India governed by tropical climate subjected by monsoon rains. This factor led to luxuriant growth of vegetation earlier in the past and still remain one of biodiversity hotspots of India. The state is dominated by tribal population, who take maximum advantage of the forest resources since their first settlement in the region. Despite the on-going developmental process socially and infrastructurally, safety of village dependence on forest supply and subjected changing pattern of land use are still govern by the utilization of resources of the local people. The paper tries to assess the declining trend of the village safety in terms of protection and security and supply of forest resources as well as changing pattern of land use. The paper is based on a comprehensive field survey conducted in a systematic manner. So much so that the paper is able to provide appropriate conclusion for future planning.

Abstract: Although it is widely acknowledged that collocations play an important role in the field of second language acquisition, a number of previous studies have reported students' lack of collocational competence and the difficulties they encounter in learning and using collocations. The present study examines the productive and receptive knowledge of lexical and grammatical collocations among advanced Arabic-speaking learners of English. Furthermore, it investigates whether the language environment, i.e., English as a Foreign Language, has an influence on the acquisition of collocations. It also explores whether there is a significant difference between participants' performance on three types of collocations: verb-noun, adjective-noun, and verb-preposition.

Abstract: The problems confronting not only India but the whole world in modern times are tremendous and multidimensional in nature. A sense of despair has not only prevailed over the hope that if men could improve their material conditions this could serve as a stepping stone towards securing values and stable peace. But now it is all too evident that the monumental strides taken in the direction of solving material wants have not been able to lead to fulfillment of intellectual or moral wants, as exemplified in the west.
