Abstract: The study examined the relationship between stress and alcohol use among college students in Botswana. A total sample of 221 undergraduate students (n113 males and n108 females) was drawn from Molepolole College of Education. All the three years of study were represented as follows: 100 (45%) freshmen, 41 (18.6%) second and 80 (36.2%) third and final year of study. A total of 129 (58.4%) participants reported using alcohol. T-tests and anova analyses showed that more males (78, 60.5%) than females (51, 39.5%) reported using alcohol. Multiple regression analysis revealed that there was no relationship between high stress levels and harmful alcohol use. However, the analyses indicated that students who engaged in alcohol consumption were also more likely to engage in more maladaptive coping styles.

Abstract: Open sources Journals plays very important role in the Libraries. "Open Access" is very essential for library and information science professionals to provide information resources to their users without any fees. Open-access journals are scholarly journals that are available online to the reader "without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself." Some are subsidized, and some require payment on behalf of the author. The open access journals has some advantages, the study has list of open access journals also.

Abstract: The study investigated the effects of mathemagenic activities on students' learning in Chemistry instructions in senior secondary schools in Akoko South Local Government Area of Ondo State, Nigeria. The study adopted the quasi-experimental design of the pre-test and post-test control groups. Two hundred and seventy senior secondary class 11 Chemistry students constituted the sample. One hypothesis was generated for the study and tested using Analysis of Covariance, Multiple Classification Analysis of Variance, and Scheffee's Post-Hoc Test of Multiple Comparison statistics were employed in analyzing the data at 0.05 level of the significance. The results showed that mathemagenic activities enhanced better performance on students' learning tasks, encourage and generate their interest towards the learning of Chemistry. Chemistry teachers should consciously enhance their instructional process by incorporating relevant mathemagenic activities into their teaching.

Abstract: Islamic Inheritance is observed to be an aspect of the Islamic teachings which Muslims in Nigeria particularly in the South West find extremely difficult to operate. This is not because they do not believe in the principle but because the attendant customs and cultural practices have great influence on the inheritance practices of the people.The crisis and atrocities which the customary law of inheritance has unleashed on the people in the area are enormous. This ranges from forceful denial of rightful owners to their people's property e.g. son's denial of inheritance to his parent's property, wife's denial of inheritance to her husband's property or vice versa as the case may be. Further atrocities perpetrated on the struggle for inheritance include deliberate killings of legal heirs, maiming and total destruction of life and property to mention a few. The nonoperation of Islamic inheritance among the Muslims in the area is a kind of deficiency in line with the Quranic verse that says, 'will you believe in some parts of the Quran and show disbelieve to the others?' Adopting islamic inheritance as a means of practically following Allah's injuction is justified in this paper.

Abstract: The study investigates a group of Malay students who study Malay, Chinese and English languages at eight vernacular (Chinese) schools in a state of Malaysia. The focus of the study is to examine the process of the students acquire the second and third languages (Mandarin and English) and at the same time they struggle to master their mother tongue or their first language, Malay. Most importantly, the study seeks the dominant personality traits of the students and tries to find the relationships between personality traits and multilingualism. Interviews with the students and teachers and also class observation have helped the researcher to understand the challenges faced by the students. The study reveals some findings which closely related to sociolinguistics aspects which show that the students have to sacrifice their first language in order to master the target languages which are Mandarin and also English. They have a strong belief that although they have sacrificed a lot of time and effort in mastering the target language, they try their best to uphold their personality traits and self-identity.

Abstract: Historical researches had come into view in Bengal as well as India with the foundation of British rule, particularly, after the establishment of Asiatic society. Some British individuals like Wilkins, Buchanan and Cunningham too had involved themselves in this regard. Yet, due to paucity of time, none of them succeeded, either to make an uninterrupted exploration extensively, or to reconstruct the accurate history of Bengal, particularly of Ancient Bengal. Moreover the British scholars, from their biased and motivated outlook had painted bleak images of Indian rulers. On the other hand, at that time, the Bengalees were quite unaware of it. Actually, there was absence of an ambiance of historical cultural in the truest sense. Additionally there was the deficiency of written history, particularly of ancient period of Bengal. Consequently, the task of inculcating the ancient history of Bengal was much complicated one. Due to all these, thinkers like Bankim Chandra Chatterjee and Rabindranath Tagore even during the eighties of the nineteenth century had to lament and crave for the history of Bengal vis-à-vis Bengalees. Their grievances and appeal, however, finally had stirred the intellectuals of Rajsahi, like Akshaya Kumar Maitra, Sarat Kumar Ray and Ramaprasad Chanda who set up a research institution called Varendra Research Society to reconstruct the accurate history of Bengal.

Abstract: Kipling is one of the most enthralling authors coming out of the colonial discourse simply because he was born in India and was yet a White man, a Sahib. For him, India was a land of many wonders, often bordering on the exotic and the mysterious; even the everyday existence in India to him was a case of enthralling encounters. Kipling's Kim is a unique novel, as its interpretations of 'India' are from the perspective of the colonial master, and the resultant cultural encounter problematizes the very identity politics of the Other. There is not only a tendency to stereotype the Other, there is a subtle undertone of sentimentality about the 'land of spirituality' that seems to overtly dismiss the fact that India has any potentiality to grow into an industrial urbanised country. This paper proposes to look at the aspects of identity politics and how it disengages itself with the ground reality as the narrative travels across the mighty heartland of the subcontinent and seeks to find out, what it is to be a colonial subject in a nation where various traditions and practices intersect to create a complex web of culture.

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to record, transcribe and analyse the language used in three different conversations on (a) an event where advice is sought in an academic setting, (b) a situation where two friends talk sharing some common troubles, and (c) a situation where compliments are given by children and elders. That is, to identify the utterances containing the functions, where the utterances containing the mentioned functions appear in the conversations, whether there are any devices used to give face to the interlocutor, identify the components of conversations and how the conversations differ from one another. The findings make the reseearcher think that if teacheres are capable of analysing conversations, they will the able to understand the nooks and crannies of the learners' interactive talks and thus the understanding and relationships amonng teachers and students which will lead to better teaching and better learning.

Abstract: This study explores the impact of social environment on perceptions of mental illness in Ethiopia. Specifically, urban and rural Ethiopians' attitudes, beliefs and practices associated with the symptoms, causes and treatment of mental illness were compared. One hundred and fifteen participants were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire to explore their perceptions of depression, anxiety and psychosis. Qualitative analysis of the interview responses indicated a number of similarities, as well as important differences in urban and rural beliefs about the recognition and etiology of mental illness. Responses were categorized as focusing on spiritual, psycho-cultural or socio-economic explanations of mental illness. Rural residents emphasized spiritual and socio-economic indicators of mental illness, while urban residents highlighted culturally inappropriate and disruptive behaviors as signs of mental illness. Both groups overwhelmingly indicated modern psychiatric treatment was the best option to treat mental illness. However, rural residents were more likely to endorse traditional treatment and urban residents were more likely to cite a combination of modern and traditional treatment. Implications for clinical assessment and policy planning are discussed.

Abstract: Beaucoup d'entre nous pensent que la lecture est un fait simple, un processus passif qui inclut la lecture des mots et la compréhension du sens de ces mots. La lecture n'est pas un processus simple comme nous le prenons, car elle demande une participation active de la part du lecteur. Dans cet article, nous étudions le problème de la lecture chez les apprenants yoroubaphones du français au Nigéria. Nous sommes d'avis que l'articulation, l'intonation et le style jouent de rôles importants dans la lecture d'un texte écrit en français. À la fin de cette rencontre, nous avons proposé des techniques à prendre en compte pour rendre plus intéressant l'enseignement et l'apprentissage de la lecture en français au Nigéria en général et surtout chez les locuteurs d'origine yorouba.
