Abstract: The paper examined the resilience, shyness and loneliness as predictors of internet addiction among university undergraduate students in Benue State. An ex post facto design was adopted. A total of 473 undergraduate students were purposively selected from two universities within Makurdi Benue State, Nigeria, to participate in the study. Simple regression analysis revealed that resilience negatively predicted internet addiction while shyness and loneliness positively predicted internet addiction. However, emotional aspect of loneliness was found to negatively predict internet addiction while social aspect of loneliness positively predicts internet addiction. It was concluded based on the results of the study that resilience, shyness and loneliness significantly predict internet addiction. Based on the findings, it was recommended that psychological counselling services can be provided for undergraduate students who have higher levels of internet addiction. Further, more comprehensive studies can be carried out to examine the relation between internet addiction and such variables like resilience, shyness and loneliness.

Abstract: Proficiency in English is very important for students of Engineering and other professional courses because it is the medium of instruction in higher academics besides being the lingua Franca of all global transactions. It is a welcome development that people in the field of technical and professional education have now recognized the emerging scenario and are supporting the view that English is the dominant language of science and technology and an indispensable part in an engineer's professional training. However through a study of secondary data and published literature on the subject of English language proficiency of engineering students in the Indian context and first hand observation by the authors themselves it is observed that inspite of intervention programs, an overwhelming number of our graduating engineers lack appropriate proficiency in English, which frustrates their attempt to acquire the required communication skills in order to be employable. This paper therefore explores the significant factors and their impact on the communicative proficiency of engineering students in India.

Abstract: The technological development and progress of geographical world is taking place in a very fast pace. This necessitates having a system capable of manipulating spatial and non-spatial data in digital form and giving the output in short time. GIS can be used by companies to site new locations to take advantage of previously underserved market. In recent years, the banking industry has been undergoing drastic changes, reflecting a number of underlying developments. Significant advancements in communication and information technology accelerated and broadened the dissemination of financial information and financial services and also increased the complexity. Another key impetus for change has been the increasing competition among a broad range of domestic and foreign institutions in providing banking and related financial services. Regulations are forcing the banks to adopt better operational strategies and upgrade their skills. All these factors throw more challenges to banking sector. Unfortunately, the distribution of these facilities in Gusau metropolis is quite uneven, which make customer waste time and fuel in getting access to such facilities. IKONOS satellite imagery (1m resolution) was geo-referenced and digitized showing the location of each and every banking facility in the study area. The geo-database was created using Ms Excel 2007, and ArcGIS 9.3 software. The database was queried and the results were analyzed. The results showed the locations of these facilities and how secured they are, by relating their distribution with that of the security agencies.

Abstract: This article studies the ideational function within the Nominal Group (NG) in Karo Batak Language (KBL) which is dominantly spoken in Karo Regency, North Sumatra Province (Indonesia). This paper specifically discusses the experiential and logical structures in KBL. The perspective of this study is of course related to Halliday's Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). Halliday (1986, 2004) argues ideational function can be divided into two subfunctions; the first is the experiential function which is concerned with deictic, numerative, classifier and epithet, thing, and qualifier. The second refers to logical one which is related to modifier, premodifier, and post-modifier. The objectives of the study are to describe the experiential and logical structures within NG and to describe word classes forming NG. The results show that experiential structures within NG have some formations and can be seen as follows: (1) Entity ^ Classifier ^ Deictic ^ Numerative ^ Epithet, (2) Entity ^ Classifier ^ Deictic ^ Epithet ^ Epithet ^ Numerative ^ Epithet, (3) Numerative ^ Entity ^ Classifier ^ Deictic ^ Epithet, (4) Entity ^ Classifier ^ Epithet ^ Deictic ^ Epithet, (5) Numerative ^ Entity ^ Classifier ^ Deictic, (6) Entity ^ Classifier ^ Deictic ^ Epithet ^ Epithet ^ Numerative ^ Epithet. Whereas, the logical structure owns some simple formations such as (1) Thing ^ Modification, (2) Modifier ^ Thing, (3) Thing ^ Modifier, (4) Modifier ^ Thing, and (5) Premodification ^ Thing ^ Post-modification.

Abstract: La langue, face à la nature évolutive de la société au sein de laquelle elle trouve sa raison d'être, se doit aussi d'évoluer et de changer au cours du temps afin d'être en mesure de jouer pleinement son rôle d'outil de communication. Parmi la gamme de changements que peut subir une langue, nous sommes concerné dans cette communication par les changements qui affectent le lexique, c'est-à-dire les mots de la langue. Nous nous proposons d'exposer les mécanismes linguistiques à la disposition du français et du yoruba dans l'enrichissement de leur lexique afin de mieux s'adapter aux besoins évolutifs de leurs usagers. C'est une étude purement linguistique. La démarche est celle de l'analyse contrastive. L'objectif est de s'intéresser aux similarités et aux différences entre deux systèmes linguistiques dans le but de contribuer à la connaissance des structures des langues et à l'appréciation de la diversité qui peuvent exister entre elles. Mots-clés : lexique, vocabulaire, enrichissement, procédés morphologiques

Abstract: The paper examined the incidence, economic burden and determinants of domestic violence among households in Odogbolu community of Ogun state. Primary data were collected from 80 respondents purposively selected. Data collected were analyzed using the descriptive statistics. Results showed that mean age of the respondents was 35, mean years of educational was 8 years and average household size was 6. Some 67% of the respondents earned above N20,000 per month, 45% have experienced one form of domestic violence or the other. Further results showed that domestic violence exists among households in the study area. In-law's influence, extra marital affairs, polygamy, poor education and alcohol/substance use were the major determinants domestic violence. Economic burden of domestic violence among respondents included cost of treatment of injured victims and loss of work output. The majority (53%) of the households with incidence of violence were farming households. Interventions of spiritual/traditional leaders (67%), counselors/social workers (63%) are foremost in respondents' coping strategies for domestic violence. The study recommends community-based efforts encouraging women economic empowerment to reduce poverty and food insecurity and fostering unity of the nuclear family and discouraging unhealthy interference of extended family members in the affairs of the household.
