Abstract: Under-age single motherhood is a family phenomenon that is hardly or inadequately talked about despite its flourishment in the contemporary society. While the in thing is to assume or pretend that it is non-existent, the common practice at best has been to illicitly merge it with single motherhood en masse notwithstanding the crucial distinction of categories each with specific source, peculiarities and potentialities. Such a serious lacuna warrants unreserved attention. The paper thus passionately chips in to fill up the gap by investigating this mode of motherhood specifically and in the light of Christian perception of family as a case in Thogoto Village, Kĩambu County-Kenya exploring factors like those of the causes, the difficulties such parenthood encounters and the recommended way forward. The work is more theological than sociological or anthropological in intent since it emphasizes Christian perception and reflections on family and parenting as well..........

Abstract: An Ecocritical Study Ecocriticism is a new approach to literary study that started in America in the seventies of the twentieth century and spread throughout Europe and the world. It focuses on the non human elements in literature such as the land, landscapes, rivers, the trees; etc. It shows the importance of these elements through highlighting their connections to the elements of fiction, the characters and the plot of a novel, for example. "Indeed the widest definition of the subject of ecocriticism is the study of the relationship of the human and nonhuman" (Garrad 5). Studying this relationship helps in understanding the human characters as well as the environmental elements...........

Abstract: Transition from elementary to secondary school is a significant milestone in student's life. A mixture of challenges and threats in academic and social context is involved. Data from studies examining transition suggested that a general motivational factor, among others (like anxiety, academic achievement, etc.), affects transition (Tilleczek& Ferguson, 2007 for an extended review of selected literature). The present study aimed to examine the relationship between school variables, and specific motivational constructs, like intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, self-efficacy and test anxiety from one side, and academic and social challenges and threats in the other, as perceived dimensions of transition. Four hundred and thirty-four sixth-graders from elementary schools in Chalkidiki, a Greek agricultural and touristic region, took part in the study. Half of them were boys. Data suggested that there are relationships between schools', and motivational characteristics and transitional variables. The model of relations, which was set up, found to be strong and valid.
