Abstract: Death is culturally a sad occasion because it terminates familial bond. However, death, grief and mourning are common life events. All cultures have ways of coping with death and grief. Often times, care-givers are confused when a patient is about to die. This is because they may lack knowledge about the patient's cultural practices concerning death. Therefore, culture has impact on grief. But anthropologists in Africa have not done sufficient studies about death, grief and mourning possibly because death is hard to face. As a result of this dearth of knowledge, the present study was conducted to bring to fore cultural underpinnings of death, grief and mourning among the Igbo of Nigeria..............

Country | : | Kenya |
Authors | : | Davidson Razafiarivony |
: | 10.9790/0837-2208145870 |
Abstract: For a church, like Corinth, where a group of members advocated sexual abstinence, even within marriage, Paul must address the issue. Immediate post-apostolic church, as the Shepherd of Hermas attests, was not spared from considering sex, even within marriage, as evil, thus relegating it only for the purpose of procreation. This study investigates Paul's writing about sexual obligations and abstinences within marriage in 1 Corinthians 7:1-7. It closely looks at the purpose of marriage and the nature and extent of sexual activities within marriage to see Paul's inspired contribution for the preservation, success...........

Abstract: The implications of methodology and study setting triangulation in organisational behaviour (OB) were explored in this study. Triangulation continues to be a subject of interest amongst researchers; especially in OB. This paper identified six implications for OB research; some of which include - acceptable methodology as a pre-condition; triangulation as an "outside the window" contrivance; triangulation as a promoter of research findings validity; and thatthe expend of cost and time will be more than compensated for by the resultant acceptability and validity of the research findings.............
