The research assess COVID-19 obsession among hospital workers in Jos-South local government area of Plateau State Nigeria. A total of 162 hospital workers (82, 50.6% males and 80, 49.4% females) with mean age of 34.01 participated in this survey research. Four hypotheses were tested utilizing Chi-square at p = 0.05 level of significance, result revealed that older hospital workers had higher prevalence of COVID-19 obsession compared to younger hospital worker, χ2 = 6.139, df = 1, p = 0.013 (p < 0.05). The prevalence of COVID-19 obsession did not differ among hospital workers in terms of gender, χ2 = 0.009, df = 1, p = 0.924 (p >0.05). Furthermore, results revealed that hospital workers with tertiary education had higher prevalence of COVID-19 obsession compared to those with lower educational status, χ2 = 7.168, df = 3, p = 0.028 (p < 0.05). Finally, prevalence of COVID-19 obsession did not differ among hospital workers in terms of marital status, χ2 = 6.996, df = 3, p = 0.072 (> 0.050). The authors concluded that more attention should be given to hospital workers in terms of policy formulation being that they are at the forefront in the fight against COVID-19. Also, there is need for setting up of psychological service centres across hospitals in Nigeria which would go a long way in not just evaluating the mental health status of hospital workers in relation to COVID-19 but it will be beneficial to the general public in assessing psychology services easily.

The underdevelopment of Africa’s and Nigeria is neither natural nor solely caused by internal contradictions, such as corruption, bad leadership, embezzlement of public funds as argued by some political science scholars even though the aforementioned internal factors plays a very devastating roles on the issue of underdevelopment in Africa. However, Andre G. Frank argued that the Europe and Africa’s were developing at a different pace, until the Europe came and distorted the development of Africa, the idea which Frank called development of underdevelopment in Africa. Nevertheless, it is germane to expose the fact that the underdevelopment of Africa’s and Nigeria was caused or could be traced to internal and external factors such as bad leadership, corruption and highhandedness etc. as the internal factors on one hand, and slavery, colonialism and imperialism, deceptive politics of exploitation of Africa’s surplus values as the external factors on the other hand. However, this paper examined the external causes of underdevelopment in Africa’s and Nigeria, and examined the pattern or process through which the Europe underdeveloped Africa’s and Nigeria. This paper adopted the relative deprivation theory as a model to explaining how Africa’s and Nigeria were deprived of her development, and how her resources were exploited by the Europe, hence, underdevelopment of Africa’s and Nigeria. This paper also adopted the secondary methods of data gathering, as valuable data were retrieved from articles, textbooks, newspapers and internets materials, as those data collected are used to validate the arguments of this study. This paper finally proffers sustainable solutions on how to fall out of the devastating challenges of underdevelopment ravaging Africa’s and Nigeria.

The main objective of the study was to examine the effect of physical fitness training on the performance of youth volleyball project players: the case of ana lemo woreda, Hadiya zone. census sampling technique was used to select 24 players aged 15 to 16 years from ana Lemo woreda volleyball project players. The article focused on selected physical fitness variables. Those subjects under this study took part in experimental design pre and post-test on both tests from March 01/03/2021 to May 01/05/2021, 2 days per week for 3 months and 40 minutes prerecession. The physical fitness variables selected for the study were: cardiorespiratory endurance (1.6km run in min test), muscular endurance (sit-ups reps/60seconds), muscular strength (modified push-ups reps/30 seconds), power (standing long jump in meter), and agility (4x10 m shuttle run in seconds). Data were analyzed by using SPSS paired-samples t-test with a pair-wise comparison of means at a 95% confidence interval. The results indicated that there were significant improvements in performance on selected physical fitness variables due to the effect of physical fitness training with active rest (p < 0.05). This study confirmed that physical fitness training with active rest was significant to improve the physical fitness variables. The main finding of the study was trainee project players have discovered positive outcomes towards physical fitness variables. The study also illustrates that the health and fitness level of participants can be improved as a result of the physical fitness training program.

Accountability is one of the main elements of the realization of good governance which is currently being pursued in Indonesia. The government is asked to report the results of the programs that have been implemented so that the public can assess whether the government has worked economically, efficiently and effectively. Accountability can be seen from an accounting perspective, a functional perspective and an accountability system perspective. This Scientific Journal uses normative legal research and uses a statutory approach and a legal concept approach. the development of the public service paradigm from a broad concept of accountability to a narrow concept of accountability in public sector procurement spending that uses providers of goods and services, both as business entities and individuals, is done through the selection of providers of goods and services. The power to set policies is exercised by the legislature, specifically in the policy of setting the state budget, known as budget rights. Meanwhile, the executive power in the field of state finances is known as the general power for managing state finances. Based on this, the concept of governance which emphasizes the mechanism in carrying out functions by actors involved in certain sectors has not shown a certain mechanism, as well as the principle of accountability which is an element of governance that is still an accountability concept with general evaluative character (umbrella concept). The very broad, general and evaluative, is very difficult to define practically and empirically because there are no operational standards for accountable behavior.

The aim of this work is to study the contribution of organizational innovation to the achievement of the logistical performance of the port of Agadir. The results of this research highlight three areas of innovative organizational practices: structure, IS, and Human Resources. The port of Agadir has an interest in adopting management practices. This fact is observed in our qualitative study where the significant impact of organizational innovation on the logistics performance of the port is positive. The mobilization of Network theory recognizes that the managerial approach is a strategic tool for the adoption of innovative organizational practices and not as a source of costs (Michel Callon and Bruno Latour (2016).

Little is known about the financial challenges of autism. This study looks into the financial challenges faced by parents of a child living with autism in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Twelve in-depth interviews and four key informant interviews were held with the professionals in Joy and Nehemiah Autism Centers. The participants were selected via the convenience sampling method. The data were transcribed and analyzed through thematic data analysis. All the participants underlined that caring for a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) requires extra cost, attention, and effort. Most of the participants complained about the financial burden in relation to the cost of fulfilling the basic needs (high cost of food and clothing), transportation, and medical expenses. The system has to proactively work to address the financial and other concerns of the parents. The service is limited and unsatisfactory compared to the need. On the service provision, the government should try and address the different unmet needs and challenges of these children and their parents by providing proper attention and financial support
