Bandura's theory emphasizes the continuous reciprocal interaction between the factors of individuals’ behavior (cognitive) and environmental influences in understanding social cognitive learning process. Therefore, learning in this theory is more aimed at observational learning and the process set of the four interrelated components: attentional processes, retention processes, motor reproduction processes, and motivational processes. The fourth component is the one used in the process of entrepreneurship learning to cultivate individuals’ interest in entrepreneurship.

Abstract: The economic recession in Nigeria has affected various sectors of the economy including the health sector leading to low productivity, poor service delivery and poor health outcome. The Nigerian health sector is still striving to provide basic health care services with the collaborative efforts of the three tiers of government but efforts to achieve this seem unfeasible due to the current state of the Nigerian economy. Nigeria operates a dual system of health care delivery which includes; the orthodox and traditional health care delivery systems. The orthodox health care system is managed and controlled by the three levels of government while the traditional health care delivery system is managed by the traditional health institutions. Some of the challenges confronting the Nigerian health care delivery system include; lack of adequate health infrastructures, poor health funding, lack of political will, shortage of manpower and corruption. The impact of economic recession on the Nigerian health care delivery system may include; high cost of drugs, poor financing of the health sector, high cost of treatment, high disease morbidity and mortality, poor staff motivation, emergence of counterfeit drugs and increase in out-of-pocket expenditure on health care. Approaches to tackling the problems facing the health sector as a result of economic recession include; deliberate health policy reforms, full government support in terms of financing the health sector and strengthening the provision of health enablers, institutionalizing comprehensive health care services and establishing an efficient monitoring and evaluation system. Hence, to strengthen the Nigerian economy, the health care system should be given due attention by adequately tackling its problems and improving its performance so as to suppress the cycle of ill-health, poverty and under-development.

Abstract: Casa del Prado as a duplication is a typical Spanish-Colonial and Mexican building. Its’ construction from 1968 to 1971 was a thought-evoking story with twists and turns plots. The Casa del Prado is a near-reproduction of the Food and Beverage Building in Expo 1935, keeping the exterior in same decoration but the size, structure, building materials and interior are different. As a public building it mainly serves the youth groups in performing arts. Meanwhile the youth are cultivated toward good citizens. So Casa del Prado build a civic space, where the liberal democratic society sprouts and is cultivated.

Revisiting Subjective Wellbeing to Stimulate Empirical Research in Sub-Saharan Africa

Abstract: This review article focuses on conceptualization, measurement and determinants of Subjective Wellbeing to shade light among researchers in the field of development studies, psychology, sociology, philosophy and economics in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), herein also referred to as a sub-continent. The aim is to revitalize empirical research on Subjective Wellbeing in the sub-continent where there is dearth information about this concept. Such scanty information is attributed to, among others, low interest among researchers to conduct researches on Subjective Wellbeing. The article argues that, although Subjective Wellbeing is difficult to define, researchers in SSA should strive to come up with a common definition that enables cross-country as well as cultural context analysis. In addition, the concept is determined by many variables, such that researches should be conducted in the sub-continent, between and within countries, to find out which ones are the most explanatory variables of Subjective Wellbeing. This is important as it can inform development policy to improve Subjective Wellbeing and development more generally in SSA.
