ABSTRACT
The Igbo Apprenticeship Model (IAM) is intended to make a significant contribution to the creation of jobs throughout the nation, and in Anambra State specifically. However, considering the staggering unemployment rates in Nigeria, it is unclear how much of an impact this programme has had, hence necessitating this study to examine the role of apprenticeship training in job creation in Anambra State, Nigeria. The work used survey research design and the population figure was 3673 business owners. The sample size of the study was 347 arrived at by applying Krejcie and Morgan's 1970 sample size determination formula. The source of data is wholly primary, using a structured questionnaire which was subjected to both validity and reliability tests. The data collected were analysed using a combination of descriptive and inferential statistics and the hypothesis was tested at a 5% level of significance. The result showed that trade credit has a statistically significant positive relationship with wealth redistribution in Anambra State (r = .972, p-value < 0.05). it was concluded on the strength of this that the apprenticeship scheme in Anambra state has contributed to wealth redistribution and by extension, job creation in the state. Therefore, it was recommended that some form of formality needs to be inculcated into the apprenticeship system in Anambra state.

ABSTRACT
The absence of Business Incubators in universities in Anambra State necessitated this study to ascertain the influence of business incubation on the entrepreneurial performance of students in the selected universities in Anambra state. The work was anchored on Real-Driven-Options Theory of Business Incubation and New Venture Creation Theory. Survey research design was adopted by the study. The population of the study consisted of 300 level students of the selected universities who have taken entrepreneurship course or those that are yet to take it. A sample size of 380 was determined using Krejcie and Morgan (1970) formula. For the purpose of this study, the primary source of data (questionnaire), which was subjected to both validity and reliability was utilized. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were adopted in data analysis and the hypotheses were tested at a 5% level of significance. It was revealed from the analysis that knowledge transfer has a statistically significant positive relationship with promotion of entrepreneurial skills (r = .939; P-value < 0.05) and between inculcating innovative ideas and promoting the entrepreneurial mindset (r = .940; P-value < 0.05). It was concluded that business incubation has a significant relationship with student’s entrepreneurship performance. Sequel to this, it was recommended among others that teachers, facilitators and managers of entrepreneurial classes in universities should take the business of entrepreneurial knowledge transfer very serious, and more emphasis should be placed on practical aspect of knowledge transfer rather than theoretical aspects as this will help in improving the entrepreneurial skills of students that pass through entrepreneurial classes in the selected universities.

ABSTRACT
In agriculture, the role of agricultural information cannot be over emphasized in enhancing the agricultural development. Information is crucial for increasing agricultural production and improving marketing & distribution strategies. Agricultural extension has a strong reliance on information exchange among farmers. This study examined Farmers perception on the effectiveness of extension events in the process of improved agricultural technology promotion the case of Sidama region and employing a simple random sample strategy as well as a purposeful sampling technique to choose the research region and 160 respondents’ farmers from study area were selected. The study showed the perception of farmers on the effectiveness of extension events in disseminating agricultural information to farmers. The majority of the farmers confirmed method of demonstrations (60.6%), training (46.1%), and farm visits (17.6) as very effective extension events to adopt new and improved agricultural technologies. However, (26.7%), (21.2%), (20.6%) (16.4%) of the farmers on the ADPLAC, FRG, use of extension materials and review meetings respectively rated as very ineffective extension events to utilize the technologies and also a positive and significant relationship between the effectiveness of extension delivery channels with a level of education, gender, membership on FRG, and trainings.

ABSTRACT
Employee involvement is one of the essential things to achieve success in the organization because employee involvement can create strategies for good work culture, increase work productivity, improve relationships between organizations and better customers, reduce the number of absent employees, reduce accident rates, work, reducing the rate of work errors and being able to reduce the number of employee turnover (Soedarto & Hardi, 2023). This study aimed to determine the effect of Employee Engagement and compensation on organizational commitment. The population in this study were all employees of the Kediri City Islamic Boarding School District Health Center, with a PNS status of 128 employees. Data were collected through questionnaires analyzed with Multiple Linear Regression on SPSS 25. This study's results indicate a positive and significant effect of Employee Engagement and compensation on organizational commitment. Based on these conclusions, some suggestions for the leadership of the public health center from this research can be used as a reference to achieve higher employee organizational commitment. Therefore, efforts to increase employee organizational commitment can be achieved through increased compensation and employee Engagement. For further researchers, they can develop the variables in this study to become new mediating variables, which have yet to be found in this study.

ABSTRACT
The current article deals with the stage of life in the first month of a baby. As it is critical & evident, the first stage of life is critical as the child is highly risky not only to morbidity but also to mortality. It is an incremental risk that decreases with the passage of time in the first month of life. This decrease can be achieved at a very low cost & that too at home without support of any skilled health provider. The article discusses these risks in the past at the global level & at the national level. It uses the mortality indicator to assess the risks of the newborn. Further, it establishes the concept of health economics through the low cost involved to deal with these risks at the household level. A direct relationship is established between the mortality indicator & the low cost involved. A newborn struggle in the first month of his or her life as is evident from mythology that Lord Krishna too had a turbulent neonatal stage. The struggle of newborns continues in India even today. The current Neonatal Mortality Rate in India is 20 per 1000 live births as per SRS & 24.9 as per NFHS 5. The high neonatal mortality in India stands as a testimony to this fact as reducing this indicator is a priority. The current article focuses on the initiatives of the role of health economics in public health system to address neonatal mortality. Basically, there are two approaches to reduce neonatal mortality. These are Home Based Neonatal Care (HBNC) practices and the Facility Based Neonatal Care (FBNC) practices. The article focuses exclusively on the first approach which is HBNC & sees the role of health economics in this approach. The article cites the history of health economics in India & the concept of need, supply & demand aspects of health services. Following that, the article sees the HBNC approach in health economics & the process to upscale the approach to reduce NMR & thereby IMR thus fulfilling the developmental objectives of the nation. .................
