Abstract: Pain is "an unpleasant emotional and sensory experience associated with present or potential tissue damage or described by the patient in such terms". This definition of pain given by the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) makes it an "alarm symptom" that must be addressed. However, despite multiple WHO recommendations, analgesics in general and morphine in particular are not always used wisely. The main objective of this work was to evaluate the prescribing practices of Level III morphine analgesics in the Rabat University Hospital and the factors associated with this prescription. Patients and methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study........

Abstract: The church has a calling and ought to be a locus of healing for the disadvantaged in the society, and yet the plight of the poor such as orphans is often exploited. Sex abuse scandals have taken place at orphanages run by religious institutions and trafficking of orphans through adoption Agencies has been on the rise. However, the outside world has a different image of the church. It is in the light of such claims that the researcher sought to analyze the response of the Holy Ghost Hermitic Church of Africa (HGHCA) challenges faced by orphans in Kisumu East Sub-County in Kenya, since it is one of the religious institutions that has found itself amidst many controversies and sexual offence accusations. The study determined the challenges that orphans face in the orphanage run by the HGHCA.......

Abstract: A lease is a contractual arrangement calling for the lessee (user) to pay the lessor (owner) for use of an asset. Property, buildings and vehicles are common assets that are leased. Industrial or business equipment is also leased. Broadly put, a lease agreement is a contract between two parties, the lessor and the lessee. The lessor is the legal owner of the asset; the lessee obtains the right to use the asset in return for regular rental payments. The lessee also agrees to abide by various conditions regarding their use of the property or equipment. For example, a person leasing a car may agree that the car will only be used for personal use. The narrower term rental agreement can be used to describe a lease in which the asset is tangible property. Language used is that the user rents the land or goods let or rented out by the owner. The verb to lease is less precise because it can refer to either of these actions. Examples of a lease for intangible property are use of a computer program (similar to a license, but with different provisions), or use of a radio frequency (such as a contract with a cell-phone provider).............

Abstract: Among the different tribes in West Bengal Kharias and Lodhas are perhaps most exploited and subjugated. These two tribes are also stigmatized with criminality. Kharia Sabaras or more simply Sabaras of Paruria are one of the most backward tribal communities mainly found in the eastern plateau region of the district. They were declared criminal tribe in the colonial rule and still suffer from stigma of criminality. Their exploitation and exclusion is discernable from all angles. They have no permission to enter in the village temples. Their children are addressed in a derogatory language by the teachers; they have to sit in a considerable distance apart from the other castes children while taking mid day meal. The village people consider them subhuman; keep them aside from all social interaction and assimilation.

Abstract: The rise in academic consumerism and the rebranding of university programmes to suit students personal needs and values in the wider society has brought intense pressure in Public Universities (PU). With the governments' reduced funding of university programmes, funding of university projects from public coffers has diminished substantially. PUs have to now than before find other avenues of raising revenues to supplement their budgetary requirements. One of the ways in which the universities can raise funds is through attraction of more graduate students. Admission of more students translates into more funds in tuition charges. Attracting this caliber of students requires repackaging of universities programmes to make them more attractive. This study aimed at assessing the relationship between course characteristics and students' choice of Master of Education (MED) Programmes in public universities in Kenya........
