Abstract: In order to adequately show the influence of African Traditional Religion in Christianity, a keen ecclesiastic history will reveal the continued interaction with each other in interesting ways since arrival of European missionaries. Some Luo Christians no longer adhere to many traditional practices like starting a home, where a cock and an axe had to be carried by the father and his first-born boy. African Israel Nineveh Church faithful adhere to this practice to date, and does not recognize a home that did not go through this ritual. Even with the introduction of Christianity, the adherence of Africans to Christian beliefs has been hard to estimate, due to syncretism with Christianity and other religious movements in Africa. Research objectives were to analyze the traditional Luo beliefs and practices found in the church, analyze the church doctrines concerning syncretism in church and to find out how church addresses the problem of syncretism among its adherents. It had questions like what were the traditional Luo beliefs and practices found in Church? What were the church doctrines concerning syncretism in church........

Abstract: The Indonesian Fisheries Workers Legal Protection Study on board the South Korean-flagged vessel aims to know the implementation of the legal responsibilities of Indonesian seafarers' labor force aboard South Korean-flagged vessels. The results show that the implementation of the legal responsibility of fisherman seafarers 'labor protection aboard South Korean-flagged vessels, in general the legal basis of seafarers' labor is very adequate. However, for fisheries seafarers still need attention from government and non-government related, the number of institutions that have authority so that there is overlap of authority that if there is a problem is each no one responsible. So in the end the victim is a fisherman worker who actually has the right to be given protection for the responsibility of the state or government as specified in the applicable regulations.

Epidemiological data suggest that approximately 80 million people worldwide are infertile.

The study also attempted to identify the most important predictor variables which determine the quality of life of participants. A sample of 400 participants (100 fertile couples and 100 infertile couples) was included in the study. The data obtained were analysed using t-test and step wise regression. Results revealed that there exist significant difference between the two groups in majority of variables.

Abstract: Interpretation in its sense means an art of finding out its exact meaning and true sense of an enactment by looking into the words of an enactment by determining their natural and ordinary meaning. It is the process of determining their true meaning of words used in a statute. The court is not expected to interpret in its own way. Certain procedure and principles should be followed for construction and these are principles called 'Rules of Interpretation'. The main object of this paper is to talk about the statutes and its intention of the legislature which is conveyed expressly or impliedly. This paper talks about the issue for understanding how court is using the intention of legislature for interpretation of statutes.
