Abstract: El vocablo desarrollo ha avanzado a través del tiempo, cruzando desde un pensamiento limitada a factores económicos brotados a partir de los intereses y condiciones de las sociedades desarrolladas, hasta una concepción que contiene variables con un contexto ético y humano. Una inconstante común en estas ideas es el desarrollo tecnológico, cuyo análisis, en la totalidad de los casos, se ha restringido a concebirlo como progreso tecnológico y a instruirse desde el impacto que la tecnología tiene en factores como la economía de un país, sustrayendo grado a los beneficios sociales que dicho perfeccionamiento tecnológico contribuye. En la era de la información, los medios de comunicación juegan un papel determinante, impactan de forma insondable a la sociedad de hoy y formulan.............

Abstract: The study of ethics is a constant endeavor to analyze, examine, and scrutinize human behavior for the purpose of steering people towards the proper moral values. The primary purpose of this paper is to present a review of two major ethical paradigms namely: Teleological ethics and Deontological ethics. A narrative review of the relevant papers related to the study of ethics and moral values was conducted. The importance of ethics and moral values in personal and social life is self-evident; the quest for noble and higher moral values is an attempt to create and establish a better life. This paper provides a modest review of one of the two most influential ethical theories in the modern history. This paper offers an opportunity for novice researchers in the area of ethics to grasp and understand some of the basic foundations of Teleological & Deontological Ethics.

Abstract: Employees in Kenya including police officers are increasingly showing acute signs of burnout. It is widely acknowledged the world over that policing is one of the most stressful of professions. Cases of death through shooting or suicide have been reported, and have lately been on the increase. Frontline police officers often have to confront traumatising incidents almost on a daily basis which can lead to psychological and emotional disturbance. Officers and the public they serve need to be wary of high levels of anxiety, which can be handled through expanded, effective coping strategies such as workplace counselling. This paper advances a multidisciplinary approach to the provision of counselling psychological services for the police service in Kenya using the hermeneutic phenomenology approach...

Abstract: This paper, based on longitudinal public opinion surveys conducted between September 2006 and April 2012, argues that though the majority of Nepali people still ignorant toward federalism, a significant number of the public prefer a federal form of governance in the country. This segment of the population transcends over those who prefer a unitary form of governance by a significant margin. In addition to it, the public‟s support toward federalism is growing while the support toward unitary system is diminishing. The surveys also reveal that the public‟s support for the federal state is larger than that for the unitary state in all ethnic groups. This paper also investigates the underlying relationship among public opinions on different state restructuring issues, and establishes............

Abstract: Slum is almost a universal phenomenon in every city of the world. No country can deny this reality as all metropolitan cities in the world are most affected by many problems; child marriage is one of them. Any marriage where one of the parties is below the age of 18 years is considered a child marriage. To find out the "Impact of Child Marriage of Slum People in Rangpur City, we use contingency and regression analysis. From our study we had seen that 16% respondents were married under 14 years of age, 36% respondents were married at age interval 14-15, 26% respondents were married who were aged 15 to 16 years of age and 22% respondents were married in between 16 to 18 years. We have concluded that child marriage has positive significant impact on educational qualification, dowry, number of children, and healthy condition...
