Youth Alcoholism among Campus Undergraduates in Cameroon: Implications for Indiscipline in University Neighbourhoods
No full textAbstract: This research examined the consumption of alcoholic substances among university undergraduates with concerns around the associated boisterous behaviours. It precisely paid attention on the extent to which alcoholism fuels the rise of acts of indiscipline by young people in university neighbourhoods and tested the following hypothesis; there is a significant association between alcoholism and students indiscipline in university neighbourhoods in Cameroon. The study implored the survey research design with a sample of 323 participants, 195 males and 128 females within the age range of 16 - 30 selected through the purposive, snowball and convenient sampling techniques. A questionnaire and a support interview guide were administered on the participants for data collection. Bivariate linear regression analysis aided by the F-test indicated that youth alcoholism significantly contributed to the rise of acts of indiscipline within university neighbourhoods in Cameroon. In definite terms, alcoholism [F(l, 321) = 279.26, p <.001], was considerably linked with students' unruliness. Descriptively, boozing recorded a 66% value and was exceedingly connected with sexual crimes, violence, pornography, physical assault, misuse of school fees, duping of parents and sale of property as major cases of indiscipline among others. The enquiry recommended the following: parents should continue to follow up and counsel their teenagers while they are in the university, local administrators should regulate alcoholic entrepreneurship within the university milieu, universities should implement socio-cultural activities like sports, games and entertainment that will occupy students, counselling units should be task to do more by sensitizing and doing a follow up of young people who engage in alcoholism, students should be encouraged to form positive peer relationships that will make and not mar their future and personal development.

Does Japan import less than it should?
No full textJapan's continuing large current account surpluses have promoted a series of investigators to examine the volume and the structure of the goods that Japan imports. The usual charge is that Japan's level of manufactured imports is too low and that it is low because Japan has erected a wall of trade barriers that limits access by foreign suppliers of manufactured goods. Recent studies have looked at this question to see if Japan's overall imports are lower than they should be, and specifically if Japan imports fewer manufactures than other industrial countries. This paper presents a review of the econometric literature and these give diverse results. Additionally, if Japan does import a lower volume of manufactures, why is that so? Is it because of trade and tariff barriers, the Japanese marketing system, or the tastes of Japanese consumers? None of the studies resolved these questions.Economic Theory&Research,TF054105-DONOR FUNDED OPERATION ADMINISTRATION FEE INCOME AND EXPENSE ACCOUNT,Trade Policy,Common Carriers Industry,Environmental Economics&Policies

Ethnic stereotypes and television : an examination of white students' attitudes towards ethnic stereotypes and television in six Midlands colleges
No full textThis research study sets out to identify and examine the ways in which the
white majority have traditionally comprehended ethnic minority coninunities
with particular reference to the role played by television in representing
such coninunities. In the British context, television has come to dominate
social and cultural life to the extent that the Reithian principles for
television (that is, to educate, inform and entertain) have become
crucially important in the maintenance, if not absolute creation, of
notions of national culture. Given the concentration of ethnic minority
corrinunities in mainly inner-city areas, for the majority of white people,
their only contact with such corrrnunities is through the vicarious
experience afforded by television. The medium's role in representing
ethnic coninunities honestly and realistically is thus vital and if for no
other reason deserves careful examination.
My principal hypothesis is that television, through its characterisations
of ethnic minority comunities, maintains, reinforces and perpetuates
stereotypical assumptions already held by the white majority about such
corrinunities, which hinder the pursuit of a harmonious and multi-cultural
society.
In order to test this hypothesis, a survey was conducted with 650 white
students attending further education colleges in the Midlands which sought
to ascertain their attitudes towards ethnic stereotypes and television.
Professionals working in the television industry were also interviewed and
a short monitoring study of contemporary television fiction was later
conducted. The survey findings suggest, inter alia, that young white
people do make stereotypical judgments about ethnic minority people which
conform to traditional assumptions; that inter-ethnic friendship tends to
mediate the propensity to make more unfavourable assessments of ethnicallyspecific
characteristics; and that the perception of ethnic minority
coninunities in the real world closely parallel those which exist in the
world of television fiction.
The specific merit of this study lies in its detailed examination of a
significant and important sample population, the study both identifying
general attitudes towards ethnic minority coninunities and also relating
these general beliefs to student attitudes towards the ethnic portraits
typically found in television. The study is thus able to establish that
the ethnic stereotypes which exist in the popular white consciousness are
regularly rehearsed through the contemporary medium of television
Scripture and Its Readers: Readings of Israel’s Story in Nehemiah 9:6 – 37, Ezekiel 20:5 – 31 and Acts 7:2 – 60
No full textHow may a reader who wishes to read the Christian Bible as scripture well today be formed; and how may interpretations of scripture inform such concern? The present work is an exploration of this under-considered question in the field of contemporary biblical scholarship via sustained exegetical engagement with three biblical texts, namely Nehemiah 9:6 – 37, Ezekiel 20:5 – 32 and Acts 7:2 – 60, which offer three different inner-canonical readings of scripture in the form of three distinctive recitals of Israel’s story. The purpose is to consider how these retellings read scriptural traditions in relation to the wider context of the Christian canon; and to reflect on their enduring and formative significance as scripture for readers seeking to appropriate the scripture faithfully today.
Chapter one will indicate that the concern of the present work is not a recent one, but rather one that is integral to a Christian practice of reading scripture. This chapter will also consider how such a concern once under-explored in biblical scholarship is now receiving some renewed attention in the field of theological interpretation of scripture. An overview of selected works pertaining to such concern will be considered in chapter two as a means to set a context for articulating the approach and rationale of the present work. In chapters three through to five, each chapter will be devoted to each of the three biblical texts, Nehemiah 9:6 – 37, Ezekiel 20:5 – 31 and Acts 7:2 – 60, to consider how scriptural traditions are interpreted in these three texts in relation to the wider context of the Christian canon. The next step is to reflect on the implications of these three biblical texts as Christian scripture for readers seeking to interpret scripture faithfully today. For such concern, the three texts will be considered individually at the end of chapters three, four and five respectively and then in concert in chapter six
The behaviour of stock returns in Amman stock market : a thin emerging market
No full textIn this thesis the behaviour of stock returns of firms listed on the Amman Stock Market
is examined. The thin trading characteristic of the market is emphasised and its possible
effects on empirical investigations are analysed.
The first four chapters contain a review of the literature on the importance of stock
markets, the Efficient Market Theory and the Capital Asset Pricing Model. The
literature suggests that the allocative efficiency of funds via stock markets is related to
the operational and pricing efficiency of these markets. In such an efficient market, the
expected return on an investment is related only to its risk.
Chapter 5 tests the weak form efficiency of the ASM with particular emphasis on the
problem of thin trading. To achieve this, three alternatives for filling missing data gaps
are examined. In particular, it was found that extrapolation, based on market
movements, induces more dependence patterns. Yet, Examining the other two
alternatives, using daily price changes, statistical inefficiencies were detected, on the
one day level. Fewer dependence pa%erns were repored br \onger rnerva'1s. The
reported first order positive serial correlation can coriseqnence. o'i 'p'icrng uirrxs
imposed on trading in the market.
Chapter 6 provides a database of individual stock and market returns. Compiling this
database was a major contribution of this research.
Chapter 7 investigates the effects of different return measurement and beta estimation
approaches on tests of the CAPM. Specifically, the evidence indicates that the use of
different return measurement approaches can affect the results of tests of this
equilibrium model. Also, the adjustment of the trade-to-trade method, used for beta
estimation, reduces heteroscedasticity resulting from using non equal time intervals
when applying the market model.
The first part of chapter 8 provides an investigation of the sensitivity of the results, of
CAPM tests, to the length of the period used to estimate beta. The results suggest that
the longer the period, used to estimate beta, the more are the reported deviations from
the implied relationships of the model. The second part of Chapter 8 provides a test of
the CAPM using pooled data, and employing four lengths of periods to estimate beta.
The evidence was not consistent with the model. But, when specific attention was given
to the problem of thin trading, by constructing sub samples of the most traded stocks,
the validity of the model was established. However, this was only the case when beta is
estimated using 24 months of past returns, suggesting that market risk in Jordan changes
fairly rapidly.
Chapter 9 investigates the power of some firm-specific variables in explaining the cross
section of stock returns on the ASM. The evidence suggests that the book value,
earnings, leverage and the firm size, do not help in explaining the cross section variation
of firms listed on the ASM. This evidence is in accord with the CAPM
