ABSTRACT
The article discusses the Family Planning (FP) program’s wide spread evaluation by the Program Evaluation Organization (PEO) of the planning commission from 1963 to 1969. The article brings out the Knowledge, Attitude & Practices (KAP) concept given by the PEO. The concept is still used by the large scale surveys like National Family Health Surveys since the 1992-93 period. The KAP approach was given by the FP but it is being used regularly to evaluate other programs as well. After the KAP, the concept of Rapid Anthropological Surveys (RAP) also came up to monitor & evaluate programs. Subsequently, the concept of Culture, Attitude & Practices (CAP) also came to be used to assess programs.

ABSTRACT
This study looked at how students' achievement in Physics in senior secondary school one was affected by explicit problem solving instruction. A quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test design was used. The study involved two student groups: the Experimental Group and the Control Group. While the control group did not receive formal teaching on problem-solving techniques, the experimental group did receive such training. Utilizing the Physics Achievement Test, data were gathered and analysed using descriptive statistics and ANCOVA. The findings show that providing clear guidance on how to solve problems improves students' achievement in physics. According to this study, providing clear instructions on problem solving was beneficial for both males and females. To improve students' achievement in Physics, physics teachers should provide clear guidance on problem solving to their students.

ABSTRACT
The health of the population is one of the priority sectors of the Malian state authorities. The implementation at the operational level of socio-health activities by health professionals remains a challenge given working conditions and societal realities. This situation in an unfavorable environment exposes these professionals to the development of burnout. Observation: It was a health professional, 48 years old, a civil servant for 10 years in the district, having consulted for insomnia, osteoarticular pain and anorexia. Mood disorders, nervousness, palpitations, physical asthenia persisting for 7 months had been observed. Several consultations and assessments carried out without success. The persistence of the symptoms and the negativity of the assessments made it possible to raise the hypothesis of a professional burnout syndrome. A treatment based on rest over 1 month combined with anxiolytics for 15 days allowed the symptoms to improve. Follow-up for 11 months was unremarkable. Conclusion: The workload, the insufficiency in the organization, the planning of activities and sometimes the failure of the patient to fulfill their duties in our structures are determining factors in the occurrence of burnout among health professionals. Sufficient recruitment of professionals at the operational level, health education and the implementation of an adequate work plan could reduce this risk.
