| Magnitude of Dating Violence among Undergraduates in Selected State Universities in the Western Province, Sri Lanka | Author : Hasarali Fernando, Aindralal Balasuriya, Pushpa Jayawardana | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Dating is defined as a dyadic relationship involving meeting for social interaction and joint activities with an explicit or implicit intention to continue the relationship until one or the other party terminates or until some other more committed relationship is established (e.g., cohabiting, engagement, or marriage) [1]. Dating violence has been stated as “any behaviour in an intimate relationship that causes physical, psychological or sexual harm and controlling behaviours” [2]. It is a very important global concern of public health and essentially an important issue of human rights [3]. A study done in USA has reported that violence in unmarried relationships to be three times more prevalent than that among married couples [4]. A study done among undergraduates in Philadelphia, USA reported 42% physical, 21% emotional and 12% sexual violence [5]. In a large survey done in a university in Florida, USA, a DV of 21% was reported in current relationships and 32% in previous relationships with 20% of physical violence [6].

| Incidence of Spatio-Temporal Impact of Runoff in the Spontaneous Subdivision of the Kindele District Located in the Watershed Funa in Kinshasa | Author : Lopanza Mpia Yoleke Joseph, Attrayant Muse Dorsay, Yadoli kosanga Carine | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The organization of space and its occupation requires preliminary studies including spatial analysis and physical arrangements The objective of this study is to highlight the characteristics of the watershed which are the detonator of the erosions in the Kindele district in the commune of Mount Ngafula in Kinshasa. To do this, IKONOS satellite and Google Earth images covering the study area from 2001 and 2015 were used to monitor and map the different areas using ArcGIS.10 software. The runoff coefficient calculations to highlight the water flow rates likely to cause water erosion considering a normal rain of 25mm for 30mn were carried out on Excel. The results obtained after the analyzes reveal that the 2001 situation has a runoff coefficient of 0.12 and a runoff rate of 14m3/S, while that of 2015 has a runoff coefficient of 7.18 and a runoff rate of 1222m3/S. The difference in flow is 1208m3 /s in 14 year intervals with slopes of a statistical average of 25% which greatly exceeds 6% as provided for in the town planning code.

| Effect of Cognitive Restructuring Technique on Emotional Adjustment Among Sampled Single Mothers in Abia State, Nigeria | Author : Chigbu, Eberechukwu Francisca (PhD), Oguzie, Alphonsus Ekejiuba (PhD), Akuezuilo, Juliana Azuka (PhD), Ofojebe, Edna Nkechi (PhD), Mokwelu, Blessing Obianuju (PhD) | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The study investigated the effect of cognitive restructuring technique on emotional adjustment among sampled single mothers in Abia State, Nigeria. The need for the research came as a result of high increase of single mothers in the area of the study and the quest to ameliorate the continuous increase in the subject area. The study was guided by two research questions and two hypotheses tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted thenon-randomized pretest-posttest control group quasiexperimental design. The population of the study consisted of 52 sampled single mothers in Umuahia and Isuikwuato Local Government Areas of Abia state. The entire populations of 52 single mothers were used as sample for the study because the number was manageable by the researchers. The instrument for data collection was a questionnaire titled “Emotional Adjustment of Single Mothers Questionnaire (EASMQ)” developed by the researchers and validated by three professionals from the Faculty of Education at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. The instrument yielded a Cronbach Alpha coefficient of 0.83, which was dimmed sufficient for the study. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the hypotheses at p 0.05 level of significance and answer research questions utilizing the data obtained for the study. The result of the study indicated that cognitive restructuring technique had significant effect on emotional adjustment of sample single mothers. The study also showed thatthere was no significant difference in the effects of cognitive restructuring technique on emotional adjustment among urban and ruralsingle mothers. In the other words, urban and rural single mothers benefitted almost equally from the CRT treatment. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that professional counsellors should employ all necessary avenues such as workshops, seminar and jingle to help the single mothers adjust emotionally using cognitive restructuring technique.
