Abstract: This paper aims to identify the root of early marriage in Dayak dense-populated villages and its impacts on economic, social, health, and cultural aspects of the brides in ten districts in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. A set of semi structural questions were offered to 250 respondents grouped into three clusters, namely the doers of child marriage, parrents of married children, and official/social leaders. The results show that early marriages were committed due to lack of reproductive and sexual health knowledge amongst teenagers and taboo view forgiving sex-related information to teenagers.We highlight four important points in order to reduce rate of child marriage and related problems come from it. First, the need of a comprehensive reproductive and sexual health education for teenagers. Second..........

Abstract: All learners learn best when they are motivated; so do adults. Hence, the way to ensure success of students in higher education is first to know what motivates and sustains them in the learning process. The growing relations and growing Chinese community in Zimbabwe has led to a rapid increase in the number of students learning Chinese as a foreign language. The growth of learners has not only been in the primary, secondary and higher tertiary education sectors but also the adult community of the country. This has led to a growing curiosity of the motives behind the adult students learning the language. Motivated by different aims, goals and ambitions, the success of these adult students can be hindered by various factors. This study aims to unveil what motivates the adult learners to learn Chinese.........

Title | : | The Theme of Death in Whitman's Poetry |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dr.SuchitraVashisth |
: | 10.9790/0837-2403021415 |
Abstract: Death seems to have a peculiar charm for the mystic, the philosopher and the poet. All have endeavoured to tackle and explore it in various ways. According to Ralph Waldo Emerson: "The event of death is always astounding, our philosophy never reaches it, never possesses it." According to him the men of letters have had better understanding and insights in the problem of death. According to D.H. Lawrence, Walt Whitman is a very "great post-mortem poet"- "a very good poet of the end of life". It has been stated that death remains the central concern of Whitman's poetry. George Sainsbury has noted Whitman's "great devotion to death". Whitman's understanding of death and death experience is very deep and thorough. The general atmosphere in which Whitman was brought up and lived greatly contributed to this attraction for and interest in death.
Key Words: Death, Whitman.

Title | : | Literature as Content for Teaching English as a Second Language in Higher Education |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dr.M. ChandrasenaRajeswaran |
: | 10.9790/0837-2403023639 |
Abstract: Literature as content for teaching English as a second language works on the premise that language and literature are inseparable; they are inseparable from the lives of language speakers as well; as such, interpreting a piece of literature in a language class exploits the interpretive skill of both teacher and students. There are four main reasons for a language teacher to use literature in the class room: literature remains a valuable material for cultural and language enrichment, besides motivating learners‟ involvement,a literary text is authentic too. Apart from its ability to motivate student readers to be critical and analytical it offers a wide variety of lexical and syntactic............

Abstract: Research studies dealing with the notion of high potential, particularly, from the young teenagers' view point in Tunisia are obviously scarce. Consequently, we have decided to address the idea of self-concept in this study, as it is considered an important factor in understanding how an individual behaves in his or her life and how he/she lives this experience. More specifically, our objective was to tackle the differentiated self-concept of high-potential boys and girls in mixed classes with IQ scores ≥ 130. To this end, a sample of 100 high-potential students, among which 55 were boys aged between 13 and 19 years old, with an average age of 14.3 and 1.03 standard deviation was selected and interviewed............

The high rate of juvenile crimes in the likes of rape, alcoholism, drug addiction, smoking, murder, fraud, robbery, internet hacking e.t.c. have been matters of serious concern to both the government and the people. Several professional solutions involving philosophy, psychology, sociology, science and law have been, and is still being, consulted all in a bid to providing solutions. Certain control measures have also being employed to tackle the menace of the society. In the midst of this societal deviance, is the Church indifferent and non-challant about providing solutions? What is the role of the Church to help tackle the challenge? Is she incapacitated as to knowing and having nothing to do to help create solutions?...........

Abstract: Staggered electoral process in Nigeria has become a perennial subject of controversy in Nigeria‟s development. The process, by design and default, was created by the legal framework, political parties and/or electoral umpires, with negative outcomes. Nigeria adopted the four-year (quadrennial) electoral system but since return to the fourth republic in 1999, from the fifth quadrennial general elections, nullification of elections and order for repeat elections by electoral tribunals and courts have continued to add to the number of staggered elections, contrary to global best practices with huge and growing social, political, legal and time costs on the polity. The Chairman of INEC, on 9 March 2017, announced the timetable and schedule of activities for 2019 general elections and revealed inter alia that there will be 29 governorship elections, the remaining seven are staggered (Omorotionmwan, n.d; Mac-Leva, 17 June 2018).............

Abstract: Single stretching exercise for several seconds/minutes increase the range of motion. The aim of study is to examine 40 male football project players to determine if static, ballistic and PNF stretching exercise would have better improvement in flexibility performance or not. To achieve the intended objective randomized experimental design is implemented. 40 football players who have been volunteered and fulfilled the inclusion criteria are recruited and randomly grouped in to Control and Experimental group. The first Group CG, were control group and did not perform any designed treatment, the rest EG were experimental group followed six weeks intervention program, they are engaged in static, ballistic and PNF stretching exercise 3 days per week. To see actual changes in groups, sit and reach test used as a standard measuring tool, to this end paired t-test was used to compare mean value.............
