Abstract: The study examined the relationship between stress and alcohol use among college students in
Botswana. A total sample of 221 undergraduate students (n113 males and n108 females) was drawn from
Molepolole College of Education. All the three years of study were represented as follows: 100 (45%) freshmen,
41 (18.6%) second and 80 (36.2%) third and final year of study. A total of 129 (58.4%) participants reported
using alcohol. T-tests and anova analyses showed that more males (78, 60.5%) than females (51, 39.5%)
reported using alcohol. Multiple regression analysis revealed that there was no relationship between high stress
levels and harmful alcohol use.

Keywords: Molepolole, alcohol, college students, harmful drinking, stress.

Abstract:Open sources Journals plays very important role in the Libraries. "Open Access" is very essential
for library and information science professionals to provide information resources to their users without any
fees. Open-access journals are scholarly journals that are available online to the reader "without financial,
legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself." Some are
subsidized, and some require payment on behalf of the author. The open access journals has some advantages,
the study has list of open access journals also.

Keywords:Open Access Journals, Open source Journals debate, List of Open source Journals, Pros and Cons,
advantages.

Abstract:Growth of slum is largely viewed as an outcome of the failure of urban planning, rising urban population, industrialisation and urban poverty. But the role of 'slum level leader', who is well knitted in the life of slum dwellers and whose greed and guidance largely govern the process of slum growth is not deeply understood. In the current paper attempt has been made to understand the role of slum level leaders in growth of slum and the life of slum dwellers. The study was conducted in Jaipur city and the data was collected from 257 households of eight slums. These slum level leaders share commensal relationship with slum dwellers. They allow a new inmigrant to get accommodated in slum and help in receiving different facilities. In turn, they get recognition, higher social status, political mileage and monetary benefits from slum dwellers. But this give and take relationship between the community and slum level leaders has done more harm than good to the development of slum. Now the time is to deeply understand the role of slum

Abstract: Islamic Inheritance is observed to be an aspect of the Islamic teachings which Muslims in Nigeria particularly in the South West find extremely difficult to operate. This is not because they do not believe in the principle but because the attendant customs and cultural practices have great influence on the inheritance practices of the people.The crisis and atrocities which the customary law of inheritance has unleashed on the people in the area are enormous. This ranges from forceful denial of rightful owners to their people's property e.g. son's denial of inheritance to his parent's property, wife's denial of inheritance to her husband's property or vice versa as the case may be. Further atrocities perpetrated on the struggle for inheritance include deliberate killings of legal heirs, maiming and total destruction of life and property to mention a few. The nonoperation of Islamic inheritance among the Muslims in the area is a kind of deficiency in line with the Quranic verse that says, 'will you believe in some parts of the Quran and show disbelieve to the others?' Adopting islamic inheritance as a means of practically following Allah's injuction is justified in this paper.
