Programming foreign television soap operas on free to air TV stations in East Africa is a common feature. However, an interesting phenomenon is developing where regionally produced serial dramas are increasingly consumed across borders; drawing good audience share. A case in point is „The Hostel‟- a Ugandan soap opera aired weekly on both NTV Uganda and NTV Kenya. What could be the cross cutting attraction of this programme on the Kenyan audience where similar genres have not performed as well? Using the audience reception theory, the study conducted 8 FGDs in two university campuses. An in-depth interview was also conducted with the NTV station programme coordinator. The findings revealed a favourable reception towards the programme but with character identity, accent and story realism as strong indicators for its attraction. Though the findings cannot be generalized, it is an insight for those who intend to produce such drama across the East African region.

Based on Lillian’s (2008) and Chen’s (2016) studies on women’s courtesy titles, this study makes a comparison and contrast of women’s courtesy titles in mainland China and Taiwan, with reference to those in the Whites and Blacks. It is based on a survey of a questionnaire, which is almost the same as the one used in Chen (2016) that was modelled on the one used in Lillian (2008). The results confirmed that age is an influential factor in the selection of courtesy titles for women of different marital status. It also confirmed Lillian’s observation that a woman’s occupational status may outweigh her marital status. However, even mainland China and Taiwan belong to the same Chinese community, they have statistically significant difference in women’s courtesy titles, especially in the use of XJ (Miss). Its fill-in-the-blank method of collecting women’s courtesy titles, rather than fixed-choices method, also seems to be effective.

As one of Chinese four great classic novels, A Dream of Red Mansions, which is considered as the encyclopedia of feudal society, is of great value to be studied. Up to now, most researches mainly focus on the translation, cultural and pragmatic fields.

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.

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.

This is a theoretical paper with a charge to examine the scope and character of gender equality in the education systems of Uganda, Rwanda and South Sudan through a review of cross-national literature using feminist lens to interpret their connotations. While Uganda and South Sudan have invariably sought to enact affirmative action geared at achieving increased access for girl children, Rwanda has by and large focused on shifting from affirmative action to more holistic genderresponsive strategies in its crusade. This, perhaps, is the most convincing notion of salience among the three East African countries; confirming that formal opportunities for equal treatment of girl children ensure neither a shared starting point nor equal outcomes because of different cross-national milieus of change. In Uganda, the flagship of government initiative is the 1997 UPE which has since its launch spurred a big rise in the number of school girls across the country. The extension of the free education policy to 12 years represents Rwanda‟s best bid to attain gender equality; while the Go to School Initiative is South Sudan‟s rarest case of success in promoting access and participation but remains largely embryonic and sporadic. Cultural thinking, economic insecurity and social disadvantage immensely affect the way poor and rural households decide about investing in their girl children‟s education. There is need, therefore, to emphasize the intrinsic developmental value of education over and above the compulsion for productivity and employability. It is audaciously mistaken to establish that gender inequality could be altered by education or within the education system without restructuring sexual division of labour in the home and the market at large. To achieve gender equality in their education systems, Uganda, Rwanda and South Sudan must decode the cultural capital of their social classes and use that knowledge to empower women and girl children at the family and community levels while schools offer prospect. If these initiatives could be further institutionalised, resourced, and embedded in durable policy visions, it is possible for schools to become standard for broader societal transformation.

The realization of the principle of justice in proving the settlement of consumer disputes through arbitration in Indonesia is important, with three reasons, namely first, there is a weakness of the consumer protection law because the formulation of substantial norms and formal law is contrary to other laws so that the formulation is not in the framework national legal system and difficult to be harmonized. Second, the legal norms for consumer dispute settlement with an inverse proof burden system have created injustice for consumers and producers and open up opportunities for other parties to manipulate adverse evidence. Third, no matter how well the consumer dispute resolution process, does not guarantee that justice is achieved unless the judge (arbitrator) is right and correctly divides the burden of proof and provides an assessment of the strength of the evidence submitted by the disputing party. Discussion of the problem of proof, using the normative legal research method that refers to norms and legal principles in the legislation or court decisions. This discussion is explorative on thought, concrete legal norms in the Indonesian consumer protection law and is prescriptive to offer the concept of problem solving of the problems presented. The conclusion of the discussion is that the consumer arbitration verification system in Indonesia is a model that comes from the presumption of liability principle with a reverse proof burden. The realization of justice in this system cannot be harmonized so that it needs to be adjusted to the principle of justice that is universally adhered to and the principle of justice characterized by the legal personality of the Indonesian nation, namely Pancasila justice.

This study aims to provide a new perspective in order to improvement public awareness on preservation temple through multicultural education. It was based on the facts that the destruction of the temple and theft cases by increase steadily. For example, East Java people living around the temple take the temple’s bricks to make red cement and they sell them to earn some money.

Most of the temple’s visitors also have different perception. They regard the temple as a sacred building which functioned as a tomb. Therefore, they do not dare to do anything inside the temple’s complex area. Multicultural education was a concept that addresses cultural diversity and equality in schools. Equality ensures that students are provided the same access to the benefits of society regardless of their group membership. One of the strategies to sustain public perception and awareness to care and preserve temple in their residence was improving people knowing about the other culture and the heritage. In this context students need introduced temple through a variety of activities such as study tours, observation, fieldtrip, etc. The temple also been used as learning resources; especially in social studies where teachers explore the environmental aspects of the temple both physical and socio-cultural. Social studies learning by medium of temple, and learning resources expected to improve the quality of teaching and awareness of the differences.
