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.

10.21276/sjhss.2018.3.8.8
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.

Abstract: Several new biochemical and hematological parameters are available to diagnose and monitor alcoholic liver disease (ALD), but none are independently sufficient for the purpose. Serum enzymes - Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) and AST:ALT ratio (De Ritis Ratio) are conventionally used as markers for diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and monitoring of ALD, based on their correlation with values before and after treatment or abstinence from alcohol intake. We wanted to establish the utility and affordability of estimation of these serum enzymes in ALD. To assess the levels and analyse the costs of estimation of conventional serum liver enzymes in ALD. After IEC clearance, this hospital based study was carried out on 30 male patients of diagnosed ALD and 30 normal control (non-alcoholic, healthy male) subjects between 18-65 years without history of liver disease, HIV, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, shock and/or ischemia to the liver, hepatotoxic medication use or exposure to high levels of environmental hepatotoxins, renal disorders, diabetes mellitus, hypertension. Serum AST, ALT, ALP, GGT levels were estimated using commercially available Roche diagnostic kits and fully automated biochemistry analyser (eCOBAS 6000 c501, Roche). Enzyme levels were expressed as Mean ± SD in IU/ml. Statistical analysis of differences in Means was done with Unpaired Student’s ‘t’ test, using GraphPad Quickcalcs online software, considering significance level as P < 0.05 at 95% confidence interval. Cost calculation of all the tests was done. Serum AST, ALT, ALP, GGT levels were highly significantly raised in ALD patients compared to healthy controls. De Ritis ratio was greater than 2 in 70% ALD patients. Cost calculation revealed that each patient had to pay a total of Rs 80/- for the tests. Conventional serum liver enzyme estimation and calculation of De Ritis ratio are useful and affordable diagnostic and prognostic markers in ALD.

Abstract: The weight of youth unemployment is felt globally with over 70 million youths being unemployed across the globe causing a decline in youth participation in the labour force. Kenya with the largest economy in East Africa has the highest unemployment rate in the region with 39% of the active population unemployed. The various initiatives by the government to alleviate youth unemployment has achieved much and the rate of youth unemployment is high in Nairobi City County due to migration to the city in search for employment, with Clay City Ward being the highest hit. A descriptive survey design was adopted on a target population of 400 unemployed youths in Clay City Ward aged between 21-25 years. A sample size of 30% of the target population which is 120 respondents was obtained through simple random sampling and a questionnaire administered. Key informant interview was also carried out with five youth leaders. Lack of proper technical and vocational training, capital, experience and dependency on parents and relatives was a major cause of youth unemployment. This has led to low living standards, low self-esteems, moral decay and some youths opting not to marry due to unstable income to support themselves and family. However some youths have taken the initiative to exploit their soft talents to earn a living. Despite the government investment in youth’s initiatives not much has been achieved due to poor governance and lack of accountability. The ministry of devolution and planning should devolve the youth’s funds and make it more accessible with adequate training for sustainable job creation.

Art elective course combinations offered in Senior High Schools hinder Art
students from offering some Art program at the Tertiary level. The need therefore to
assess Art and allied programs offered at the tertiary level. A mixed method approach
involving qualitative and quantitative research strategies was adopted for the study. The
study revealed that visual art students are limited in offering some courses at the tertiary
institutions as most visual art students have no idea of the program they want to study
in the tertiary level of education. The study, therefore recommends to stakeholders to
ensure that orientations and seminars are conducted in pre-SHS and SHS to help
students to choose relevant courses to be offered at the tertiary level.
