National symbols are very instrumental items for a country’s peace, unity and prosperity. The national symbol for instance the national anthem is always sung at the learning institutions and or during the country’s special occasions. Though national anthems just like any other national symbols have a noble role in the country, some countries tend to disregard its letter and spirit. One such country is the Republic of South Sudan (RoSS). Being the newest country in Africa and probably the state that experienced a longer period of civil wars and with the bigger number of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), it has been the wishes of the citizens and the people the world over to have a lasting peace and unity. However, since independence in 2011, there have been intermittent ethnic clashes resulting into deaths of many South Sudanese civilians and also loss of property. This is happening despite the fact that its national anthem possesses elements of peace and harmony. In this regard, the paper intends to expose the underlying paradoxes inherent in the national anthem of the RoSS.

Bridging the generation gap between parent and children is essential. Parents often contribute their share in digging gap between parents and children by pushing the kid's beyond their limits. This happens in two ways. Parents either demands higher than the limits of the child or pushes the child beyond the economical or social limits of parents themselves. This, in future, makes the child going astray from the lifestyle and status of parents. The present paper is an attempt to find out the reasons of Generation Gap. It has been observed that as the parents fussy with the behavior of the children, arguments convert into disputes and there is a high degree of disagreement between how adult children and their parents view their relationship. There are a number of other factors that affect the generations; the strongest and most consistent predictors are sex, age, child’s marital status, and residential proximity.

The vaccination system is divided into two categories in China. The first is mandatory vaccination, mostly free and using domestic vaccines under the National Immunization Program. The second is alternative vaccination, which patents must pay for. In March 2016 Shandong Province in China, a vaccine scandal occurred, which is known as the Shandong problematic vaccines incident.

And it focuses on the problems of the Chinese second category vaccines supervision system exposed in the case, including: the administration level and the team scale of supervision subject-as not match with its duty; the interestoriented awareness of supervision objects being insufficient; the vaccine tracking institution not being complete; the professional supervision of human resources being insufficient; the participation of social supervision being insufficient.

The sale of foods on the street is a common aspect of lifestyle in many countries and very prominent in Ghana. The street food trade has evolved into a large food sector that provides a means of income for the vendors and reasonably priced food to millions of people from all walks of life. However, the hygienic aspects of vending operations are a major source of concern for food control officers. As a result of this, there is the need to determine the food safety knowledge and practices of these street vendors so that the safety of such food can be guaranteed. This research was therefore carried out to assess the food safety knowledge and practices of street food vendors in Takoradi. The respondents were 10% male and 90% female. The result indicated that the street food vendors had fair knowledge of food safety practices but a large portion (70%) of them had no medical clearance certificate. The health and personal hygiene knowledge in this survey showed that majority of the vendors do not have any knowledge on health and personal hygiene. It is therefore recommended that a policy should be put in place to periodically educate food handlers especially vendors because food safety education should not only be triggered by evidences of visible dirt or unpleasant body odour.

Though meager, but studies are indicative of psycho-physiological turmoil of women in Uttarakhand, a northern state in India. Women perform tons of chores in the house as well as field, in hilly areas. The positive statistical data for women in terms of literacy rate cannot hide the grimmer condition of women in relation to poor nutritional status, poor psychological health, poor financial independence, poor decision making power etc. The current situation of women aggravates when it is further accompanied by introduction of eating disorders. The problem of eating disorder has a direct impact on nutritional and psychological health. The dearth of literature in this arena leaves the problem unrecognized and thus unaddressed.
