This perceived problem necessitated this research. This research carried out an assessment of how clinical psychology is viewed among non-mental health professionals and extracted recommendations for accelerating the growth of clinical psychology in Nigeria. Using accidental sampling technique, a total of 107 participants (58 males & 49 females), with mean age of 40.92 (SD = 10.37) from Lagos, Nigeria were surveyed on their views about clinical psychology. Nine research questions were asked and both quantitative and qualitative analyses were applied to analyze data. The conclusion from....

These challenges can have an adverse impact on children‟s psychological and physical well-being. Many non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are running programs in the state that supply wide-ranging services to OVC and their families. While the programs have similar objectives, the improvement of OVC well-being differs substantially in the types of services they provide. The general objective of this study is to assess the response strategies of NGOs in meeting the needs of vulnerable children in vulnerable households in selected communities of Nasarawa Eggon LGA of Nasarawa state. The study adopted survey design while the target population consists of OVC aged between 0-17 years living in the area under study.......

Abstract: This study examines the existing common misconception that the religious curriculum changes which occurred in 2017 had potential of affecting students' teaching and learning in the Kingdom of ESwatini. This was a descriptive survey study based on Milner's (2010) Opportunity Gap explanatory framework which assisted in unpacking and understanding, and explaining educational practices related to opportunity: diversity blindness, teacher deficit mindsets, low expectations and teacher competencies. Qualitative approach was used to reflects on the religious curriculum changes. Qualitative approach was considered as relevant because of the curriculum complexities. As Grant, (2003) noted that educational matters such as religious education are complex and unstable processes.Data from policy related documents were used because government's practices and intentions are captured on policies. Content analysis was used as an ideal data analysis procedure in this study, where the relevant documents, were interrogated, compared objectively and inferences drawn.The study indicated that the institutionalised issues such as teacher religious blindness and deficit mindsets which fail them to recognise and to teach all.....

Abstract: This paper explores the vulnerability context in Turkana rangeland. It establishes the origin of the people living in Turkana before they settled in the rangeland and provides a general environmental and demographic background. It is argued that to properly understand how Turkana people respond to food crises, it is imperative to appreciate that given the hostile nature of the Turkana environment, there are factors that are responsible for their vulnerability. The paper is based on key informant and household interviews. This is complemented by local level information gathered from other sources such as informal interviews, observation, and case histories, as well as from a review of several Turkana studies. This knowledge may enable us to gain satisfactory insight into the challenges facing Turkana people in attempting to secure a reliable and sustained livelihood, and how their livelihood responses can best be strengthened. It also becomes easier to draw comparisons with how the Turkana pastoral production systems function during "drought and famine stress‟ threat period. The paper is based on extensive review of secondary literature on Turkana rangeland.

Abstract: In many branches of mathematics specially geometry and analysis-it has been search out that the a notion of distance function is frequently applicable in abstract sets.The ward metric is used for measurement that is based on metres , centimeter, gram and litres etc. The notation of distance function is known as metric space is nothing more than a non-empty set equipped with a concept of distance which is suitable for the treatment of convergent sequences in the set and continuous functions defined on the set. Our purpose in this paper is to develop in a systematic manner the main elementary facts about open sets in metric space. These facts are important for their own sake, and also for the sake of the motivation they provide for our later work on topological spaces.
A metric space is a set in which we can talk......
