The music ministry is an invaluable ministry of the church. A church music ministry exists to develop a comprehensive music programme that ministers to all areas of the church’s life. An effective music ministry, therefore, provides the church with good music that members may use for worship, education and evangelism. The study adopts literary and theological approaches and engages pertinent scholarly literature. It discusses the value of music ministry to the congregation, the choir, the instrumentalists who play musical instruments and individuals who lead in the ministry. Furthermore, the study examines the various activities of the music ministry and factors that must be considered when organising a church’s music ministry. Finally, the paper discusses the criteria for enlisting leaders and workers for the music ministry. The study concludes that an effective music ministry must be put in place if the church music will be functional within the church.

Advancement in science and technology is what can bring about rapid transformation of any country. Mathematics is a veritable tool in the understanding of science and technology. Despite the importance, the trend of secondary school students’ performance in Mathematics in external examinations is worrisome. Perhaps, non-availability of standardized achievement test for formative assessment or for promoting the students to the certificate class could be the cause. The purpose of this study was to develop and standardize Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT) for unified senior secondary school class 2 promotion examination in Ondo State. Seventy five SSS2 students randomly selected from Akoko metropolis of the state constituted the sample. MAT for SSS2 was the instrument for this study. The instrument was developed and standardized following various stages of test development and standardization processes. Out of the initial 75 items drafted, 50 items formed the final MAT. The final MAT was valid and reliable. The reliability coefficients were (0.97 and 0.89) using test retest and Kuder-Richardson-20 methods of reliability respectively. From the results obtained, the following conclusions were drawn: The MAT was developed by the researcher, the validated test items were in line with the mathematics curriculum for senior secondary school class 2 students in Ondo State, the developed and validated MAT exhibited good measure of difficulty and discrimination indices. Based on the findings and the conclusion of this study, it was recommended among others that the developed MAT should be used by mathematics teachers teaching senior secondary school class two students in Ondo State and the examination unit of the Ondo State Ministry of Education should make use of this MAT to improve on the quality of their examinations.
科学技术的进步可以使任何国家迅速转型。数学是理解科学技术的名副其实的工具。尽管数学非常重要，但中学生在校外考试中的数学成绩趋势却令人担忧。也许，没有标准化的成绩测试来进行形成性评估或让学生升入证书班可能是原因之一。本研究的目的是为翁多州统一高中二年级升级考试开发和标准化数学成就测试（MAT）。从该州阿科科市随机抽取的 75 名高中二年级学生构成样本。本研究使用的工具是高中二年级的 MAT。该工具的开发和标准化经过了测试开发和标准化过程的各个阶段。在最初起草的 75 个项目中，有 50 个项目构成了最终的 MAT。最终的 MAT 有效且可靠。采用测试重测法和 Kuder-Richardson-20 信度法测定的信度系数分别为 0.97 和 0.89。根据所得结果，得出以下结论：MAT 是由研究者开发的，经过验证的测试项目符合翁多州高中二年级学生的数学课程，经过开发和验证的 MAT 具有良好的难度和区分度指数。根据本研究的发现和结论，建议翁多州教授高中二年级学生的数学教师使用所开发的 MAT，翁多州教育部考试部门也应利用该 MAT 提高考试质量。

The first corresponds to a speech at a memorial service on the occasion of the 100th birthday of Friedrich Nietzsche on October 15, 1944. The second one is entitled ‘Shape and Life’ and was published during year 1938. This last article presents Rosenberg’s views on Ludwing Klages philosophical works.

Funding is very critical for the sustainability of special education. Funding aids in the realization of special educational objectives. Funding of special education is affected under depressed economy. This paper looked at the concept of funding, concept of depressed economics and the concept of alternatives sources. This paper also discussed various alternatives sources of funding options available for special education in a depressed economy. Relying on secondary data that were collected from print and online publications, the paper identified public private partnerships (PPPs), non-governmental organisations (NGOs), international development agencies, community partnership, donations from individuals and charitable organisations, endowment funds, old boy association partnership as some of the alternatives sources of funding available for funding of special education in a depressed economy. Based on this, the paper recommended that special education managers should embrace public private partnerships (PPPs) model, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) strategy, international development agencies strategy, community partnership strategy, donations from individuals and charitable organisations strategy, endowment funds strategy and old boy association partnership strategy to raise more fund to administer the special education institutions in the economy depressed era.

Mathematical culture is an abstract concept in relation to fundamental characteristics in the quality and thinking of math learners. Not only does teaching math help learners obtain rules, methods, and strategies for solving the math problems in the process of math study but it also shows the learners with the reality value of learning math in tight relation to nature and society. In the context of innovations in the General Education Program in Mathematics 2018 and the educational objectives in the new era of Vietnam, teaching mathematical culture to students calls for special interest and determined action. On the basis of fundamental characteristics in the concept of Mathematics and objectives in the General Education Program in Mathematics 2018, we proposed some solutions of teaching Mathematical culture effectively by demonstrating examples in the topic: “Natural logarithm” – 6th grade Math. Teaching Mathematical culture at schools still draws little attention and emphasis. Proposing some measures of supporting teachers to overcome this difficulty shall make a positive impact on students' and teachers' awareness of the meaning and role of Mathematical culture in the process of learners’ comprehensive development.

Given that deterioration of adolescents’ health status during pandemic is well documented, health related quality of life (HRQoL) assessment is very important, as it contributes in adolescents’ development and maturation into healthy adults. The main purpose of the study was to assess adolescents’ HRQoL during the two strict lockdowns due to COVID-19. Secondary aims were to examine differences in HRQoL with regard to gender, and physical activity/sport participation before and during lockdowns. It was a cross-sectional study and conducted during first and second strict lockdowns. Three hundred and sixty-three adolescents (Ν=363) from secondary schools, in the Greek territory (108 boys and 255 girls) filled in the TNO-AZL Questionnaire for Children’s Health-Related Quality of Life Children’s Form, online, once. Also, demographic and anthropometric data were collected. For all TACQOL-CF subscales results showed that scores were lower, than the maximum subscales scores. Also, adolescents’ responses to open questions supported further the low subscales scores. In addition, adolescents who participated in sport before lockdowns reported better scores in motor functioning/performance during lockdowns than their non-physically active peers (p<0.05). Moreover, girls reported significantly lower scores compared to boys in general physical functioning/complaints subscale (p<0.05). The findings of this study highlighted that during the two strict quarantines adolescents’ HRQoL was deteriorated. Sport participation before the pandemic influenced positive HRQoL during quarantines and also quarantines affected differently adolescents by gender. Thus, the results should give information in adopting preventive strategies by policy makers to alleviate long-term negative consequences, in order adolescents to gain pre-pandemic HRQoL levels, in the transitional post-COVID-19 era.
