The theory used in this study was Liberal feminism. It is rooted in the tradition of 16th- and 17thcentury liberal philosophy, which focused on the ideals of equality and liberty. The research design used in this study is ex post facto. The study was carried out in 3 Kenyan public and 3 private universities. The data of the study was collected using questionnaires and focus group discussion. The obtained data was analyzed using Wilcoxon Mann–Whitney Test. This test is a non-parametric analog to the independent t-test and is used when one does not assume that the dependent variable is a normally distributed interval variable (one can only assume that the variable has at least ordinal. The findings indicate that lack of adequate qualified personnel remain the number one factor that hinders the full rolling out of SMT programmes besides the expensive equipment in both public and private universities. It is recommend that girls are equally good in terms of performance at the university level means gender gap can be crossed in STs related professions. A lot then needs to be done from early childhood education, through primary to secondary school level to significantly improve the number of girls transiting to university.

Occupational health and safety in the health sector has gained more importance over recent years. Education and work in hospitals that are involved in the 'very dangerous workplaces' class are valuable in supporting prevention of workplace accidents and occupational diseases. The aim of the study is to determine knowledge status of non-physician health personnel, to receive their opinions about their work and working environment, and to evaluate the occupational health and safety education within the context of the "Occupational Health and Safety". The study was conducted with non-physician employees in a university hospital. It was considered sufficient to reach 80% of the employees without using any sampling method. A questionnaire form was prepared as a data collection tool. Before the training, the questionnaire and the 'Occupational Safety Scale for Hospital Health Care Personnel' were completed. Interactive training was provided by the researchers later on. After the training was completed, a final test was conducted with 26 questions in the preliminary test. Descriptive statistics and tests appropriate for distribution of the variables were used to analyze the data. The limit value for significance was accepted as p <0.05. 61.7% of the participants were nurses and 38.3% were other hospital employees.

This paper engages Business Model Generation via the Business Model Canvas developed by Osterwalder and Pigneur as a case-based approach to understanding organizational challenges and crisis stemming from business model deficits. The author uses the H. Wayne Huizenga College of Business and Entrepreneurship, the business school of Nova Southeastern University, as a case in point (based on his experience working for the institution and his understanding of its business model and challenges) to explore the Business Model Canvas as a critical tool for organizational strategic considerations and improvements. The author applies the nine (9) components or building blocks of the Business Model Canvas (Osterwalder, & Pigneur, 2010) to the Huizenga College of Business and Entrepreneurship in order to examine its value creating activities and challenges. The result is an analysis providing further understanding of the Huizenga College of Business and Entrepreneurship and its features that may be critical to understanding the building blocks of the Canvas, and which may consequently inform similar organizations in their quest to develop better business models, achieve innovation, and gain sustainable competitive advantage in today’s global economy. Using a critical case study approach, the Business Model Canvas is explored and recommendations specific to the case in point are presented.

The evidence-based morphometric study was carried out to ascertain the Alzheimer’s like pathology in normal aging brain in Navi Mumbai, India.35 normal human cadaver brain specimens were acquired from MGM Medical College, Navi Mumbai, and (Alzheimer`s disease brains) NIMHANS, Bangalore, after meeting the ethical clearance from MGMIHS. Control group of Alzheimer’s disease was considered. A history based on CERAD criteria was used for informent scale. We divided the total brains into five groups; group I (20 to 39 years), group II (40 to 59 years), group III (60 to 79 years), group IV (>80 years) and a control-group V (Alzheimer`s brain specimen). We recorded gross features, cortical thickness and the ventricular dilatation in each brain. The chi - square test was applied for calculating cortical atrophy and ventricular dilatation of various age groups. One way ANOVA test was applied to the relation between different age groups using the SPSS19 software. In our study, the mean reduction in brain weight was evident from the 6th decade of life with minimum weight of 800gm (951.90±101.3gm). A substantial difference in the average weight of the brain in different age group was observed (p<. 001). Cortical atrophy and ventricular dilatation was evident of 20% in group II, 60% in group III and 100% in group IV (p<. 01).

With the university reform of 1993, the government of Cameroon had a political will to endow each of the country‟s ten regions with a State university, or at least, a faculty. In this light, some regional capitals became hosts of State universities. Since 2014, the city of Bertoua, hosts an annex of to the Faculty of Legal and Political Sciences of the University of Yaoundé II, and recently the Higher Teacher Training College of the University of Ngaoundere. The establishment of university infrastructure requisitions land in urban centres or peripheries, dislodging populations especially autochthons and engendering socio-spatial changes. This is compounded by the fact that most often their land is not registered or legally secured. This poses problems of land ownership in Cameroon. The objective of this article is to show that endowing these cities with university infrastructure, a major land grabber, impoverishes the local population. To achieve this, related literature and regulatory texts were reviewed, and questionnaires administered to ascertain the procedures and impacts of eviction and compensation. The main premise of this study is that despite the fact that the local population receives compensation, in the medium and long terms they become poorer than before owing to loss of identity and socioeconomic prestige. Consequently, a revision of the land law to include a compensation procedure based essentially on an “eviction-relocation” model and an accompaniment of locals‟ reestablishment is imperative and seen as plausible solutions.

In this correlational study, 54 MA students were selected out of 68 initial participants majoring in TEFL at Khatam ol-Anbia University, Tehran, Iran. The homogeneity of participants was calculated through administration The Cambridge Proficiency Test. Then, participants took a motivation test. After that, a topic was given to them to write an essay. All important parts of essay including thesis statement, body paragraphs, conclusion, outlining, and coherence was already taught to the participants. In addition, they were asked to read their own writing and score based on Writing Scoring Rubric modified. In order to avoid subjective rating and ensure the intra- rater reliability of the assessment, these writing samples were scored twice based on the same scale that the students utilized in self-assessment. The results revealed that there was not statistically significant relationship between motivation and students` self-assessment. Moreover, the relationship between self-assessment and teacher’s rating of students` writing ability was statistically significant. The findings have some implications for language teaching and assessment.

The study sought to find out the impact of the use of firearms in wildlife poaching. Use of firearms in poaching is a threat to the stability and peace in any given country. It threatens the socio-economic environment. There has been a proliferation of use of firearms by poachers and it is in the context of this major concern that this study had to be conducted. The study adopted a qualitative research paradigm and descriptive research design was the preferred research design. The population of this study was the Hwange National Parks staff members. Game rangers and the main camp manager were selected as respondents. An interview was conducted with the main camp manager while game rangers were selected for focus group discussions. The major findings were that that use of firearms in poaching at Hwange National Park is fairly a new phenomenon but it has come with so much intensity such that statistics are rising at an alarming rate. Besides loss of lives among game rangers and poachers there is always the danger of the extinction of animal species like the rhino. The study therefore recommended that there is need for more refresher trainings for staff to enhance anti-poaching skills. More sophisticated and advanced equipment is required for rangers to keep ahead of poachers. A small aircraft for aerial surveillance would almost end use of firearms in wildlife poaching within national parks.
