This paper examines the impact of demographic change resulting from AIDS deaths on the population of Nigeria. The population of Nigeria is increasing annually at a growth rate of 3.2% and also with the increase in prevalence rate of HIV/AIDS. The purpose of this paper is to use a demographic dynamic microsimulation method to look at the impact of death resulting from AIDS given the fact that demographic variables such as fertility, mortality, migration and life expectancy influence population growth rate significantly. In order to determine the impact of birth and death rates resulting from HIV/AIDS and other causes on the population structure over...

Despite the rising trend of cancer disease incidence more and more patients succeed in their fight with the disease. Innovative drugs bring cures or at least improvements to the patient's quality of life. Extensive application of anticancer therapy however brings about the increase of adverse effects of the therapy. Toxic damage of the myocardium remains one of the severest organ damage types with life-threatening consequences. In the last decade, in addition to the known cardio toxicity of traditional cytostatics, specialists have more and more often been facing cardio toxicity caused by targeted oncology therapies.As myocardium damage is hard...

The study deals with the psychological problems of women working in the sex business. The most frequent mentioned psychological problems of these women are depression, then emotional exhaustion and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Posttraumatic stress disorder in women working in the sex business is connected with sex violence, mostly from a client, but also with sexual abuse in childhood or physical and psychological abuse. Posttraumatic stress disorder may be accompanied by dissociative disorder when a person experiences unbearable emotion, memories or thoughts that form the basis for other mental and physical symptoms. Psychological problems,...
Childhood experiences: an afro-centric perspective on child labour
Tracy B. E. Omorogiuwa
JNSS 2017, 8(1-2):55-62 | DOI: 10.32725/jnss.2017.006
Although a number of researchers analysed the exploitative nature of child labour, its contextual basis appears to be down played. The views expressed in these studies are essentially Eurocentric; given the non-recognition of the African centred approach to child labour, and the non-reflection on the social and cultural norms of the people as a base to understand the notion of childhood and children's work experiences. In response to this gap, this present study underscores the way in which the contextual meaning of childhood sharpens the arguments about the notion of child labour. As well as how child labour or work is defined or highlighted, attention...

JNSS 2017, 8(1-2):63-70 | DOI: 10.32725/jnss.2017.007
The Nigerian industrial relations environment is not one that is envied by many, as it is filled with so many controversies, incessant disputes and strikes. This scenario has led many to call for an overhaul of the system, but before that is done, it will be most beneficial to seek the views of all stakeholders to ascertain the best path of action. In view of that, it becomes pertinent to seek the views of the different groups that constitute the work force, which is made up of 46% women and 54% men. The argument here is that the majority of women do not show interest in government and its policies, and this lack of interest may affect the way they...

Motherhood and parenthood are a significant and very difficult period in a person's life. Considering today's family crisis, professional support and help with managing tasks regarding motherhood seem very important. This article summarizes the information, experience and conclusions of researches which deal with the support of young families with establishing and managing mother/parent groups. Considering the increasingly shorter stay in hospitals after birth and the character of the following care, the time for education and the important support regarding motherly skills is limited as well. Parent meetings can be an appropriate way of supporting...
