Background: COVID-19 is one of the emerged pandemics that threaten the globe. On the other hand, cannabis smoking is considered one of the risk factors for increased incidence of lung infection, and hence covid-19 infection. Aim: Investigation of potential interactions between covid-19 therapeutic agents and cannabis addiction associated with changes in both or either of therapeutic safety and efficacy. Besides, the effect of cannabis smoking addiction on covid-19 incidence and severity. Discussion: Different studies indicated the effect of cannabis components on the metabolic rate by induction or inhibition of several metabolic pathways. Different drugs used in covid-19 management are either substrates or inhibitors for those metabolic pathways. The final result could be a bidirectional interaction between tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabidiol and those drugs used in COVID-19 management. Side effects of elevated levels of both tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabidiol, or drug therapeutic agents may occur. Studies showed that cannabis smoking is acting as a risk factor for elevated incidence for pulmonary tract infection and so covid-19 infection. Conclusion: Caution should be taken in consideration, and addiction screening for COVID-19 patients should be performed before starting therapeutic regimen to avoid any possible undesirable effects during treatment and to predict patients response to therapeutic measures applied and disease severity.

Rapid technological developments have implications for the development of online transportation modes, one of which is Taxi-bike online. Many online Taxi-bike transportation drivers generally carry out professions with the status of a partnership relationship pattern with the company as the partnership is regulated in a civil law agreement. The pattern of relationships that occur between online Taxi-bike drivers and companies that are not based on a working relationship has an impact on the invalidity of Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Employment, one of which is related to the absence of legal certainty over guaranteed work safety protection for online Taxi-bike drivers. This research provides an understanding of how online Taxi-bike drivers stand with companies and how to guarantee legal protection for work safety for online Taxi-bike drivers according to regulations in Indonesia. The research method in this research is normative juridical with the approach of library materials or secondary data. The results of this study indicate that first, the Taxi-bike company as a partnership-based transportation company has not provided guaranteed protection for the recognition of legal status for its working partners, in this case, the online Taxi-bike driver. Second, there is no regulation on work safety guarantees for online Taxi-bike drivers that are based on partnerships or have not been regulated in laws and rules, so this reason is used as the basis for online transportation companies not to provide compensation or compensation when an accident occurs to online Taxi-bike drivers.

This study examined the basic measurement theories (classical test and item response theories) and psychometric properties of the adopted 2016 - 2017 National Examination Council (NECO) mathematics examination instruments in Calabar Education Zone of Cross River State, Nigeria. The research design adopted for the study was the instrumentation design. The stratified random sampling technique was used to select a sample of one thousand three hundred and fifty one (1,351) students across the local government area in the zone. Two instruments, namely the 2016 and 2017 NECO mathematics multiple choice tests were used for data collection. A trial test of the instruments on 60 comparable non sample group showed reliability (KR20) indices of .91 and .94 for the 2016 and 2017 versions respectively. Difficulty indices ranged between .20 and .85 as well as .10 and .91 respectively for the two years. Discrimination indices were .42<d< 1.00 and .31< d< .89 respectively for the two versions. The final administration yielded data that were collated and analyzed using 2-way repeated measure ANOVA and chi-square statistics. Statistical analysis, showed that the item difficulty and item location, item discrimination indices and ‘a’ parameter and the option distraction powers of the 2016 and 2017 NECO mathematics multiple choice tests were significantly different. It was concluded that significant difference exist between psychometric properties using the different measurement theories. Based on these findings, it was recommended that NECO should use the item response theory (IRT) in assessment for its relative merit over the CTT among others.
