The article considers the attitude of pragmatics to linguistics, its source of research, the unification of individual elements into a single system - a system of communication, which is necessary for the conditions of speech. The structure of the discursive system and its differences from the structural (paradigmatic) system are also considered on the methodological basis of the system's multi-dimensionality, and a new concept of isosignes is introduced to graphically designate the relevant components of speech communication as a system of a particular kind. In many cases, the use of any method is usually considered a specific feature of the author's creative approach. Therefore, the form of representation of the artistic image of speech communication is proposed to be divided into 8 types. The article studies the connection between central and district relations, subordination of district elements by primary elements, unification of language and non-linguistic, internal and external factors of the RA in the SPS, employment of the centre of the system by language verbal means. Practical examples of the SPS isosaints have also been developed and given; it has been substantiated that, like other different SPS systems, the SPS has a structure of a central structure that consists of verbal and non-verbal language means of communication, as well as on each floor of this structure different other means of social character play an important role.

In recent studies, Ontology construction plays an important role in translating raw text into useful knowledge. The proposed methodology supports efficient retrieval using multidimensional theory and implements integrated data training techniques before enter the trial process. The proposed approach has used the Semantic and Thematic Graph Generation Process to extract useful knowledge, and uses data mining techniques and web solutions to present knowledge as well as improve search speed and information retrieval accuracy. Established ontology can help clarify what it means for different ideas and relationships. Due to the rise of the ontology repository, the process of matching can take a long time. To avoid this, the method produces a hierarchical structure with in-depth interpretation of the data. A system is designed to remove domain dependencies using a dynamic labeling scheme using basic theorem, and the results show that it is possible to automatically and independently construct an independent domain.

Virtual screening using molecular docking requires optimization, which can be solved by using metaheuristics methods. Typically the interaction between two compounds is calculated using computationally intensive Scoring Functions (SF) which is computed in several spots which are called as binding surfaces. In this paper we present a novel approach for molecular docking which is based on parameterized and parallel metaheuristics which is useful in leveraging heterogeneous computing based on heterogeneous architectures. The approach decides on the optimization technique at running time by setting up a new configuration schema that allows parallel offloading of the data intensive sections of the docking. Hence the docking process is carried out in parallel efficiently while performing the metaheuristics execution. The approach carries out docking and computations of molecular interactions required for SF in parallel so that the time efficiency is improved. This opens a new path for further developments in virtual screening methods in heterogeneous platform.

Development of IEEE 802.11e standard is a cost-efficient wireless technique for services and improves the QoS potentiality to wireless networks. It provides outstanding enhancement to multimedia communication which lead to gain vogue and overcome the significant challenges in reaching the up-marks of the applications related to multimedia. Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANETs) face challenges with reference to QoS, limited bandwidth, mobility, limited battery power, routing and so on. These issues are raising due insufficient resources in MANETs, this leads to a difficulty in achieving marked QoS. AODV, QAODV, ZRP, DSDV, OLSR, etc., can be regarded as well known routing protocols of MANETs[1] The instigation of IPv6 has bought un-eliminating certainty with vital consequences, it’s very much essential to verify and examine the changes. In MANET and other Ad-hoc systems, the implementation of IPV6 brought good results in the all the moving nodes in different ways in distinct environments. In the present paper we examine Adhoc On Demand Distance Vector routing protocol (AODV) of MANET by including (Internet Protocol version) IPv6 and 802.11e implementation on OMINI network and ns2 for simulation. The performance level of routing protocol AODV is measured with relation to throughput, delay and packets loss. MANETs are very much benefited by new technology, it is most widely installed and utilized by wireless medias that belongs to IEEE-802.11 constructs. The work in proposed paper aims at the results related to the reciprocity of MANETs-Reactive routing protocols by considering the IPV6, IEEE 802.11e technique. This results in considerable improvements in terms of routing protocol properties and overheads are reduced due to enriched routing protocol.

As for medical plane, there are some exertions has to be prevailed over for making the quality of treatment to be elevated. So there are two different levels of changes has been concentrated to enhance the level of hospitalization. The patient’s height, weight, temperature, pulse rate are being checked, manually by nurses. This is a time-consuming and tedious process for patients. Patient’s Health Data Assortment (PHDA) is the device to be initialized in all the hospitals where the patients can fill up their details, and problems they face. Simultaneously it is indicated to doctor through the app. The next level of concentration will be on sensing the drips level sensing. We use saline to improve patient’s health and avoid dehydration. The patient should be monitored and given special care during this stage or period of time. The saline level of the patient should be checked regularly. There are many deaths happening because of carelessness of caretakers and lack of nurses and doctors towards saline completion. If the saline level is monitored automatically the death rate can be reduced. The saline level monitoring system is developed to protect patient’s life from this type of accident. This system is build using Internet of Things (IOT) platforms. A predefined critical level is fed into the system and compared with actual level of the saline in the patient. When the level reaches the threshold value a buzzer and a alter message will send to the corresponding nurse or doctors for replacement of bottle.

Published: October 2019

A pitiose e a zigomicose, também conhecidas como ficomicose, constituem um grupo diverso de afecções micóticas de estreita semelhança anatomopatológica que acometem pele e tecido subcutâneo, trato digestivo e respiratório, especialmente em equinos. Os agentes etiológicos são saprófitos do solo e da vegetação e possuem também habitat aquático. Os equinos adquirem a infecção ao permanecerem em áreas alagadiças e ao entrarem em contato com o solo, favorecendo o aparecimento de lesões piogranulomatosas, preferencialmente localizadas na porção distal dos membros, região ventral do abdômen, tórax e pescoço. As lesões apresentam prurido intenso, ulceração, secreção serosanguinolenta de aspecto viscoso e abundante. Entre os diversos métodos utilizados no tratamento destas micoses, destaca-se a excisão cirúrgica associada à administração sistêmica de anfotericina B. Todavia, diante de seus sérios efeitos colaterais e seu custo elevado, novos tratamentos adjuvantes têm sido testados com sucesso.

Sommeliers' Food and Beverage Combinations: Social Conventions and Professional Identity
Authors: Scander Henrik , Neuman Nicklas , Tellström Richard
Published: October 2019

Research on food and beverage combinations has mainly concentrated on sensory evaluation of product characteristics or customer preferences, and there is limited research on professional practices related to food and beverage combinations. In this study, in-depth focus group interviews
were conducted with 21 Swedish sommeliers with different work experiences. The aim was to explore how professional sommeliers perform food and beverage combinations as a social practice. The qualitative content analysis resulted in two categories: conventions of combining and the
sommelier identity. It was shown that performing food and beverage combinations was a routinized activity surrounded by rules, competence, and materiality and was driven by the will to satisfy guests and benefit emotionally and economically. It was also described as being a part of shaping
sommeliers' professional identities through a continuous striving for improved competence. These findings contribute to the literature on food and beverage combinations, bridging the gap between objective taste and individual subjectivity, have practical relevance for the hospitality industry,
since they indicate norms of behavior and individual driving forces in one of its professions. This also helps educators in the industry to challenge traditional ways of teaching combinations in culinary arts. Moreover, as identity works as a driver for sommeliers in their professional development,
this also presents ideas about how to improve staff retention in the restaurant business by building professional identities.

Authors: Albrecht Julia N. , Danielmeier Tobias , Boudreau Patrick
Published: October 2019

This article explores the relationship between spatial settings and food and drink experiences in tourism and hospitality. Food and drink providers often appear unaware or deliberately neglectful of the effects of the environment on food and drink experiences. However, certain tourism
and hospitality providers successfully make use of architecture and design, and/or integrated multisensory experiences to enhance customer perceptions and satisfaction. Based on a scoping review and architectural precedents, this article provides unique examples of architecture and design,
and discusses their influence on the total tourism and/or hospitality product. Literature from the fields of food sciences, psychology, design, and architecture is used to explain these influences. Taken together, this article highlights how the careful and targeted use of architecture and
architectural design can substantially contribute to meaningful and memorable dining experiences in tourism. Specifically, this article illustrates how architecture can help provide multisensory dining experiences. Considerations for future research are provided and include: investigating
the differences between permanent and temporary food and drink installations and framing future empirical research with pertinent theoretical frameworks.

Dans une pratique de traduction de textes anglais littéraires contemporains, une traductrice est moins assignée à sa féminité, au genre féminin, dans sa langue de départ que dans sa langue cible, le français, sa langue maternelle – ce que le sujet ressent comme une liberté. Constat phénoménologique en contradiction avec les adeptes de l’écriture inclusive, qui réclament la féminisation de la langue ! Faut-il absolument se donner un genre ou accepter la confusion des genres ?
Peut-on parler de création de valeur sociétariale ?
Authors: Caby Jérôme , Lamarque Éric
Published: October 2019

La finance mutualiste s'appuie sur une spécificité statutaire en décalage avec la structure actionnariale traditionnelle. Pour autant, cette différenciation n'a pas su jusqu'ici s'appuyer sur des indicateurs eux-mêmes spécifiques de mesure de la création de valeur. La caractérisation des attentes des clients des banques coopératives montre leur caractère multiforme où différents types de performances sont attendus : financière, commerciale, territorial et communautaire. L'examen des rapports annuels d'organes centraux de banques mutualistes et de leurs caisses régionales confirme cette diversité, aucune ne parvenant pas à proposer des indicateurs de mesure de la création de valeur sociétariale généralisables et réplicables. Le secteur financier coopératif ne pourra pas durablement s'affranchir de cet impératif au risque de devenir des établissements financiers comme les autres.

Authors: Ndour Mamour
Published: October 2019

Cet article examine les innovations organisationnelles très peu traitées dans la littérature en comparaison avec les innovations technologiques et encore moins dans le cas particulier des organisations de l’entrepreneuriat social. Pour contribuer à combler ce manque de connaissances théoriques, notre recherche propose d’explorer les innovations organisationne lles des startups sociales. Pour cela, nous avons adopté une étude de cas multiple de startups sociales françaises. Ainsi, notre recherche montre que l’innovation organisationnelle de ces jeunes entreprises prend des formes variées qui ont pour point commun la souplesse et la transversalité des équipes internes. L’innovation organisationnelle se caractérise aussi par un mode de gouvernance ouvert à la diversité des parties prenantes de l’organisation pour répondre simultanément à des objectifs pluriels.

Expliquer les « marchés mixtes » à l’aune de l’échec du contrat : le cas des établissements de prise en charge des personnes âgées dépendantes aux États-Unis
Authors: Quéinnec Erwan
Published: October 2019

Selon la théorie de l’échec du contrat, les organisations sans but lucratif surmontent un problème radical d’asymétrie informationnelle affectant certains services personnels complexes (« biens de confiance ») ; la raison d’être du secteur sans but lucratif résiderait donc dans cette fonction de résolution d’un « échec du marché ». Encore faut-il que les consommateurs de services personnels préfèrent effectivement les producteurs associatifs aux producteurs commerciaux, comme l’implique la théorie. Est-ce réellement le cas ? La réponse à cette question demeure ambiguë puisque la plupart des marchés de biens de confiance sont « mixtes » (composés de producteurs à et sans but lucratif). Au travers d’une analyse du marché de la prise en charge des personnes âgées dépendantes aux Etats-Unis, ce papier entend délimiter le périmètre de validité de la théorie de l’échec du contrat. Notre argument accouche ici de cinq hypothèses de comportement du consommateur en ligne avec la théorie.

La mémoire du conflit carliste et ses enjeux : entre usage politique et mise en ordre du passé
Authors: Rubio Laetitia Blanchard
Published: October 2019

Lors de la Première guerre carliste, un grand nombre de Mémoires de militaires ont été publiés dans toute l'Europe par une lignée de « soldats-conteurs » engagés dans le camp des carlistes. Ces ouvrages, qui s'inscrivent dans un mouvement ample de parution au XIXe siècle d'une littérature centrée sur l'Espagne, deviennent très vite des succès éditoriaux. Nous allons démontrer que ces « entrepreneurs de mémoire » ont une forte identité collective et analyser leurs motivations concernant la conservation programmée du souvenir. Ces militaires portent différents projets de mémoire. Tout d'abord, leurs écrits cherchent à susciter un intérêt immédiat à propos de ce conflit. Des officiers, tout juste revenus du front, racontent l'épopée carliste afin de mobiliser des soutiens pour gagner la guerre. Ces auteurs s'attachent également à la construction et à la conservation de la mémoire collective de la communauté légitimiste à laquelle ils appartiennent afin de l'engager à poursuivre le combat partout où il se présentera. Lors de cette entreprise de mise en récit du passé, ils confondent souvent leur rôle de mémorialiste avec celui de l'historien. Enfin, certains se sentent investis d'une mission à plus long terme en tant que gardiens de la mémoire des vaincus. Ils sont mus par la volonté d'instruire les générations futures et de sauver l'oubli leur propre version de l'Histoire.
Histoires et mémoires de l’exil et du retour des réfugiés Chiliens, des enjeux pour la société chilienne à travers l’exemple de la diaspora en France
Authors: Prognon Nicolas
Published: October 2019

Le Chili est devenu un paradigme de la complexité des rapports entre le passé et le présent, et entre les mémoires et l’histoire. Après le coup d’Etat du 11 septembre 1973, un million de personnes environ ont quitté le Chili. Les parcours des exilés et des retornados s’entremêlent dans les méandres de cette histoire. Ces liens distendus entre le passé et le présent sont un défi pour la société chilienne. Cette diaspora fait partie intégrante de la mémoire collective nationale construite par la dictature et de l’imaginaire consubstantiel à la solidarité internationale. La récupération de leurs histoires, la reconnaissance de leurs mémoires et de leurs identités sont des sujets d’actualité pour ces victimes de la dictature puis de la transition.
La dimension métaphysique du devoir de mémoire. Prendre conscience de la nature humaine lors d’une visite à Auschwitz-Birkenau
Authors: Wadbled Nathanaël
Published: October 2019

La visite du Musée-Mémorial d’Auschwitz-Birkenau est une expérience de devoir de mémoire. Il est alors envisagé plus en tant que pratique que comme une idée ou une injonction. Les visiteurs interrogés dans le cadre d’une enquête sur l’expérience de visite de ce lieu en parlent comme d’une préoccupation métaphysique permettant de prendre conscience de la nature humaine plutôt que comme une édification historique, morale ou politique. Ce rapport au passé fait écho à la pratique mémorielle à laquelle invite le philosophe Karl Jasper lorsqu’il parle de la culpabilité allemande. Les humains apparaissent comme étant à la fois capables de commettre des atrocités et comme capables d’empathie envers les victimes. Ces deux virtualités qui s’excluent mutuellement sont réalisées par les nazis pendant la Shoah et ressenties par les visiteurs pendant la visite d’Auschwitz-Birkenau. Si le spectre de l’horreur hante tous les humains et l’humanité en général, l’exercice de l’empathie engagée par la victime permet de le conjurer. D’un côté, le risque n’est pas le retour du passé, mais la manifestation de cette nature sous une autre forme. D’un autre côté, la responsabilité pour que cela ne se reproduise plus ne consiste pas à être attentif à la non-reproduction de conditions politiques et idéologiques passées, mais à reconnaître la souffrance humaine présente.
Electrodynamics in curved space-time: Free-space longitudinal wave propagation
Authors: Keller Ole , Hively Lee M.
Published: October 2019

Jiménez and Maroto [Phys. Rev. D 83, 023514 (2011)] predicted free-space, longitudinal electrodynamic waves in curved space-time, if the Lorenz condition is relaxed. A general-relativistic extension of Woodside’s electrodynamics [Am. J. Phys. 77, 438 (2009)]
includes a dynamical, scalar field in both the potential- and electric/magnetic-field formulations without mixing the two. We formulate a longitudinal-wave theory, eliminating curvature polarization, magnetization density, and scalar field in favor of the electric/magnetic fields and the metric
tensor. We obtain a wave equation for the longitudinal electric field for a spatially flat, expanding universe with a scale factor. This work is important, because: (i) the scalar- and longitudinal-fields do not cancel, as in classical quantum electrodynamics; and (ii) this new approach provides
a first-principles path to an extended quantum theory that includes acceleration and gravity.
Quantum gravity
Authors: Sinaiko Elia A.
Published: October 2019

Gravity has been shown in theories of relativity to be the curving of space around massive bodies. Thus, objects in orbits are following a straight line along a curved space. Why massive bodies curve space is not explained. We continue to ask “What is Gravity?” Quantum mechanics
unites theories of electro-magnetism (QED), the weak nuclear force (EWT), and the strong nuclear force (QCD) in the standard model of particle physics, or with a grand unified theory (GUT) sought for these three fundamental forces. As yet there is no empirically verified quantum theory of
gravity unified with these three fundamental forces. Considering gravity to be the curving of space, it is evident that gravity supervenes from the properties of space itself. In this short paper, we will attempt to define one of these spatial properties. We will not attempt to define the
properties of time, though time appears to be a part of a complete model of gravity. At least in this regard, and likely in many others, our model will be incomplete. We will build a case for the massive collapse of probability density waves (PDWs) in surrounding space, due to the interactions
of particles in massive bodies. The collapse of these probabilities, of each particle’s possible superposition somewhere in the surrounding space, causes the apparent “curving” of space. We will conclude that space is not the absence of things. Space is a thing in itself.
Included in the properties of space is the potential to contain/transmit PDWs. This potential is suggested by both the theories of relativity and the experimental observations of quantum mechanics. In the presence of massive bodies, particle superposition and the probability of existence in
the surrounding space is, to varying degrees, lost and space appears to curve as a consequence.
Nonvibrating energy strings as fundamental building blocks of space and particles
Authors: (Albo) Albert Zur
Published: October 2019

In the proposed Energy String (ES) theory, we assume the existence of fundamental energy strings forming a generally Euclidean four-dimensional fabric of empty space as well as forming all types of particles in the universe. The 4D space fabric is composed of space energy strings bearing
dark-energy as well as a newly described dark-momentum. Particles are composed of particle energy strings which interact with space energy strings inducing three-dimensional space curvatures embedded in a flat fourth-space dimension. The induced space curvatures are responsible for gravity
of particles and assign a longitudinal and a transverse direction to particles. The proposed ES theory yields an adapted model of the universe with remarkable teachings as follows: (1) The fabric of space and related dark-energy are associated with a newly defined dark-momentum. This dark
momentum is the sole contributor to the cosmological constant Λ in Einstein's field equations which describes the accelerated expansion of the universe. The energy of the quantum vacuum becomes nonrelevant to the cosmological constant Λ, enabling a solution to the “Cosmological
Constant Problem”; (2) All particles perform an equal distance of translatory displacement in 4D-space, reflecting a universal displacement rate of particles relative to an absolute generally Euclidean 4D-space. This universal principle is equivalent to Lorentz transformation of a fundamental
four-displacement vector, representing a new model of Special Relativity with superior compatibility to quantum theories. (3) Time is a displacement property of mass particles in 4D-space. Frames of 3D-space+time are the perspective by which mass particles experience 4D-space. In this perspective,
absolute space longitudinally displaces over mass particles experienced as proper time elapse. Temporal momentum is an inherent invariant property of mass particles. Frames of 3D-space+time are mixed domains: three spatial coordinates of position-space and a temporal coordinate of momentum-space,
meaning the position-space in the temporal coordinate is totally inaccessible.
Eddington's mass-luminosity relation and the laws of thermodynamics
Authors: Crothers Stephen J. , Robitaille Pierre-Marie
Published: October 2019

Ever since its formulation by A. S. Eddington, the mass-luminosity relation has been viewed as a triumph for theoretical astronomy and astrophysics. The idea that the luminosity of the stars could be controlled solely by their mass was indeed a revolutionary concept. The proof involved
two central aspects: (1) the belief that stars could be treated as ideal gases in hydrostatic equilibrium, and (2) that the opacity of Capella could be used as a reference mark applicable to other stars. Yet, when the mass-luminosity relation was advanced, no thought was given to the need
for thermodynamic balance. Within thermodynamic expressions, not only must the dimensions (hence units) be consistent on each side of the equals sign, but the extensive nature of the properties must also balance. Namely, thermodynamic expressions must be balanced by properties which are extensive
to the same degree. In this regard, mass is an extensive thermodynamic property and can be represented by a homogenous function of degree 1. Conversely, the luminosity of a star is neither extensive nor intensive, but rather can be represented by a homogenous function of degree 2/3. Consequently,
the mass-luminosity expression is thermodynamically unbalanced and stands in violation of the laws of thermodynamics.
Exploring computational geometry of fundamental interactions in static limits
Authors: Pandya Aalok
Published: October 2019

We explore computational geometry, particularly the three-dimensional (3D) contours of the electrostatic potential due to electrical charges with similar and also opposite polarity. We also explore the 3D contours of the gravitational potential by computational geometry. The noticeable
outcome of these exercises is that electrostatic interaction affects the geometry of the space as does the gravitational interaction but with the difference that electrostatic interaction affects the geometry of the space differently for charges with different polarity and at different distance
scales.
The experiences of early childhood development home visitors in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa
Authors: Azzi-Lessing Lenette , Schmidt Kim
Published: October 2019

Background: This article examines the development of early childhood development (ECD) home-visiting services in South Africa.Aim: To examine the factors that could support the success of home-visiting programmes as well as to explore the experiences of bachelor’s-level home visitors rendering such services.Setting: This study was conducted in the Eastern Cape, a highly impoverished area of South Africa.Methods: It begins with a discussion of the emergence of home-visiting as a strategy for the delivery of ECD services in South Africa and a review of the literature on ECD home-visiting, particularly with highly vulnerable, impoverished families. Next a focus group conducted with a small sample of home visitors as part of a multi-faceted community assessment is described. The results are examined within the context of challenges facing this particular part of South Africa and the nation as a whole.Results: Four themes emerged as most prominent: (1) encountering the effects of extreme family poverty, (2) identifying high rates and multiple aspects of child maltreatment, (3) encountering scarce resources in high-need areas and (4) finding rewards and maintaining a desire to continue serving challenging populations.Conclusion: This study provides a unique window on the challenges that ECD home visitors are likely to encounter when working with families living in extreme poverty, the resourcefulness that home visitors often demonstrate and the rewards to be found in this work.
Exploring the role of Malaguzzi’s ‘Hundred Languages of Children’ in early childhood education
Authors: Mphahlele Ramashego S.S.
Published: October 2019

Background: In the history of early childhood education (ECE), language is viewed as key in teaching and learning. Children in the ECE are mostly confined to verbal communication which, to a certain extent, restricts their imagination and inventive ability. Loris Malaguzzi, the founder of the Reggio Emilia educational philosophy, initiated the Hundred Languages of Children (HLC) as a pedagogical approach to enable children to interact and communicate.Aim: This study aims to explore the role of HLC through the experiences and views of the four ECE practitioners in the Gauteng province. Drawing on Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences, the author argues that ECE children possess different kinds of minds, and therefore they learn in different ways.Setting: Two Early Childhood centres in the Gauteng Province of South Africa were selected for this study because they had adopted Malaguzzi’s HLC approach to constructing concepts to help children structure knowledge and organise learning.Methods: The author used one-on-one interviews to get ECE practitioners’ experiences on using Malaguzzi’s HLC. To corroborate the interviews’ data, the author conducted classroom observations and document analysis.Results: The participants viewed Malaguzzi’s HLC as an enabler to meet the requirement of the two sets of curricula from the Department of Social Development (the National Curriculum Framework for children from 0 to 4 years) and from the Department of Basic Education (the Curriculum Assessment and Policy Statement for 5-year-old children).Conclusion: The findings show a paradigm shift, as children become active constructors of their own knowledge.

Published: October 2019

The research aimed to develop and evaluate teacher concepts and performances before and after training through coaching and mentoring procedures integrated with the 21st century instructional strategies of project-based learning, problem-based learning, and research-based learning. The subjects were 96 teachers teaching at schools under the jurisdiction of Si Sa Ket Primary Education Office 3, Si Sa Ket Province, Thailand, purposively selected from 11 schools with lower average scores of ordinary national educational test (ONET) than those of the national level. The results revealed the teachers gained better concepts since the posttest scores were significantly higher than those of the pretest at the .01 level. The teachers’ performances were at a level of pass with distinction, they satisfied with the training session at a higher level, and their composed lesson plans were at a fair level.
Spatial-temporal Changes in Land Use Land Cover and its Impacts on Wildlife Conservation in Meru Conservation Area, Kenya
Authors: Edwin Kiria , Adiel Magana , Cyprian Njue
Published: October 2019

Habitat conversion can be a major threat to biodiversity. Recent and current levels of human activities on landscapes appear to be overriding the natural changes to ecosystems brought about by climate variations in the past millennia. The impact of anthropogenic activities on wildlife habitat and species vary depending on the spatial and temporal scales considered and the persistence of the activities in the landscape. This study was carried out in Meru Conservation Area (MCA) to examine land use and land cover changes (LULC) that have taken place within and around the Protected Area (PA) from 1985 with an emphasis of anthropogenic activities which have altered wildlife habitat and species. The distribution of land use types within and around MCA has produced land use patterns which this study seeks to establish the extent and effects in relation to wildlife conservation. To establish the LULC, Landsat satellite images of medium resolution were acquired and interpretation done using ArchGIS. Four satellite images with a span of three decades from 1985 to 2015 were acquired for analysis. The results revealed significant changes in MCA ecosystem over the study period, accounting for 9.9% and 6.1% increase in grassland and bareland respectively. This means that agricultural activities are encroaching towards the protected areas in the land that was formerly used as wildlife corridors and dispersal areas. It is also an indication that there is a significant change in the forestland and shrubland which has reduced by 2.3% and 15.7% respectively resulting to bareland and grassland. The results of the study provide an insight on the threat to the future survival of wildlife in their ecosystems due to declining ecosystems productivity as well as socioeconomic livelihood of communities living around the MCA. The results of this study therefore call for an integrated planning approach towards management of protected areas in order to meet wildlife and human needs in view of the changing climate regimes.
