Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between management structure and quality service delivery in mission hospitals in Meru County Methodology: The study adopted a descriptive research design and primary data was collected from respondents while secondary data was retrieved from published sources. The author used questionnaires as the data collection instrument. The target population was one hundred twenty-eight (128) respondents from the mission hospitals in Meru County of Kenya. A pilot study was conducted at Chuka mission hospital in Tharaka Nithi County to establish the reliability of the research instruments.  There were eight categories of respondents indicating CEO, Finance Officer, Human Resource Manager, Customer Care Officer, Quality Assurance Officer, Patient, Supplier and Neighbor.  The questionnaires were distributed to one person in each category in each hospital making a total of eight questionnaires. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 23 and further explained using descriptive statistics and percentages to enhance understanding and presented in tables and graphs. The study utilized Karl Pearson's coefficient of correlation to describe the association among the variables and establish strength of the relationship between dependent and independent variables. Results: Inferential statistics were used to arrive at the findings where deductions and relationships were established.  The findings revealed that there existed a positive relationship between management structure and quality service delivery of mission hospitals in the county as manifested by the inferential results(r = 0.339; p-value < 0.05). After carrying out regression analysis, the research indicated that management structure was insignificant in explaining quality service delivery of mission hospitals. Unique contribution to theory, policy and practice: This study recommends top management implement initiatives aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of management structure to achieve high-quality service delivery in health care provision. The study recommends a project management approach in periodic monitoring and evaluation of the effectiveness of management structure.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) is a contagious disease caused by a coronavirus where the virus attacks the respiratory tract and can infect humans and animals. Therefore, preventive measures against breaking the chain of transmission of this infectious disease must be carried out as quickly as possible in breaking the chain of transmission of Covid-19. The research objective was to determine the relationship between health promotion through social media and physical distancing policies on behavioral prevention of Covid-19 in urban communities. The research method was quantitative with cross-sectional research design. The population in this research was all urban people who live in the DKI Jakarta area. The sampling technique was accidental sampling of 100 respondents. The data used were primary data through distributing questionnaires and secondary data derived from Jakarta's Covid-19 monitoring data. Data analysis was performed descriptive and the Pearson product moment correlation test. The results showed the relationship between health promotion through social media (with p-value = 0.001 and r = 0.315) and physical distancing policies (with p-value = 0,000 and r = 0.973) on Covid-19 prevention behavior in urban communities. It is hoped that the government will not hesitate in carrying out policies in reducing the spread of Covid-19 and promoting coordination with various related parties.

Around 90% of patients having stroke experience sudden weakness or paralysis of  the  limb.  Other  signs  and  symptoms  include  memory  problems  and  some  signs indicating impaired brain function. This study aims to determine the relationship between social support and anxiety levels of stroke patients dependent on daily activities using a dynamic correlation research design. This study's data sources are primary data and secondary data using a questionnaire instrument and analysis using chi-square test. The analysis of social support with the anxiety level of stroke patients dependent on daily activities shows that the p value = 0.184 (p> 0.05 then Ho is rejected, and Ha is accepted). This means no relationship exists between social support and anxiety levels in stroke patients who experience dependency on daily activities at RSUD Dr. RM Djoelham Binjai.

This paper evaluated the relationship between water infrastructure financing and water provision in South Africa. The research followed a quantitative research design; secondary data for water infrastructure financing and water provision in South Africa was obtained from the Trans - Caledon Tunneling Agency (TCTA) and the World Bank for the period 1994 - 2014 . The regression results indicated two separate findings which offers unique contribution to the current literature; results from water asset finance as a single independent variable on water provision showed a significant relationship. However, an addition of two control variables , corruption and violence, neutralised the effectiveness of water asset finance on water provision to the extent that water asset finance became less significant with a P value of 0.05. The paper makes a nuance contribution from the findings, which specifically is that finance alone may not deliver target water provision if corruption and violence is left unbridled. The paper thus recommends the need for public policy makers to control the rate of corruption and violence to enable effective application of water infrastructure finance in water provision. The paper also recommends the need for further research on other government departments to integrate corruption and violence as control variables.

The Relationship

In keeping with the New Public Management dispensation, state corporations in Kenya have taken up strategic planning with a view to effect reforms for improved service delivery. New Public Management particularly advances a customer-centric approach to public administration for improved service delivery, with the public, who are the recipients of public service, as key stakeholders in public administration. Despite this, service delivery in the Agribusiness sub-sector in the country is riddled with inadequacies highlighted by among other complaints, unpaid produce supplies, dwindling finances, slumped agricultural extension services and low produce prices. Against this backdrop, the study set out to establish the effect of strategic planning on service delivery and assess how stakeholder involvement influences the relationship between strategic planning and service delivery among agribusiness state corporations in Kenya. Grounded on the New Public Management and Stakeholder theories, the study adopted the positivism paradigm and the descriptive cross-sectional research design. Targeting 73 state corporations pertinent to agribusiness in the country, primary data was collected by use of a structured questionnaire with institutional heads as the units of observation. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were then employed in data analysis. It was established that strategic planning has a significant positive influence on service delivery. Stakeholder involvement was however found to not have a significant moderating effect on the relationship between strategic planning and service delivery. This was attributed to the technocratic approach in the formulation of the strategic plans among state corporations and the numerically limited nature of most stakeholders in state corporations represented in the boards of directors. Following a significant direct effect of stakeholder involvement on service delivery among Agribusiness state corporations in the country, state corporations are implored to involve stakeholders in strategic planning and observe meaningful participation, communication and dispute resolution in the engagement.
