Country	:	Nigeria

Abstract: This paper analytically discusses the disciplinary measures used in senior secondary schools in Nigeria with the emphasis on the problems encountered with a view to proffering far reaching solutions to the challenges. The paper posits that the causes and kinds of disciplinary problems experienced are determinant of disciplinary measures to be taken. To this end, truancy, absenteeism, fighting, stealing and drug addiction among others are typical examples of disciplinary problems experienced in Nigerian secondary schools. While parental/home, political, social and economic, school environment, school curriculum and peer group influence among others are the causes of disciplinary problems. The study asserts that discipline is not necessarily punishment but punishment is one of the disciplinary measures in school. Finally, the paper recommends moral punishment and well spelt out code of conduct for all students to follow.

Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of certain social-professional factors on the burnout syndrome development among 132 Tunisian male soccer players (24.34 ± 5.55 years, 70.42 ± 7.9 kg and 1.76 ± 0.06 cm) belonging to the Tunisian Soccer League First Division. Our results have shown that Tunisian male soccer players are affected by burnout syndrome and the factors 'Player team integration', 'Player coach relationship', 'Player age', 'Player material conditions', 'Player seniority' significantly promote its trigger. These factors appear to be slightly different from those reported in other study carried out in United Kingdom on professional soccer players of the first division which specified that 'Player age', 'Player education level', 'Player physical condition', 'Player marital status', 'Player position' and 'Player seniority' are the main factors triggering burnout. The manifestation of the burnout in our study seems to be particularly the result of its three components' development, such as the emotional exhaustion, the deshumanization and the reduced personal accomplishment.
