ANNEALING EFFECTS ON CDHGTE THIN FILMS: ADJUSTING HG CONTENT AND ENHANCING CRYSTAL QUALITY
Authors: Chauhan Shivali
Published: July 2024

This study explores the electrodeposition of CdHgTe thin films using a complex electrochemical bath comprising CdCl2, HgCl2, and pre-reacted metallic tellurium in concentrated nitric acid, with acetonitrile as a complexing agent. The films are deposited on SnO2 coated glass substrates using a three-electrode system, where deposition potentials are adjusted to vary Hg content without altering bath composition. After deposition, films undergo annealing at 300°C under rough vacuum conditions, enhancing crystalline quality and X-ray diffraction peak intensity. Results show that deposition at different potentials affects film quality, with annealing mitigating deterioration observed at more negative potentials. Structural analysis reveals cubic (fcc) crystal structure with predominant (111) orientation, unaffected by annealing temperature up to 300°C. This approach offers a novel, cost- effective method to tailor CdHgTe film properties, crucial for various optoelectronic applications.

Tachoni Male Circumcision Rituals: Navigating Cultural Revitalization, Heritage and Identity through Lexico-Semantic Analysis
Authors: Mandillah Lucy K.
Published: July 2024

The research explores the cultural significance of male circumcision ceremonies within the Tachoni community. Its objectives include analyzing the linguistic elements used in these rituals and their cultural implications, and examining how these rituals contribute to preserving, renewing, and adapting cultural practices and heritage among the Tachoni. Grounded in lexico-semantic theory, the study investigates the intricate relationship between language, meaning, and cultural identity in Tachoni male circumcision rituals. Conducted in Webuye East Sub-County, Bungoma County, Western Kenya, the research employed qualitative ethnographic methods during August and December 2022, and April 2023. Purposive sampling involved two Tachoni elders, custodians of circumcision knowledge, who were interviewed as key informants. Data collection methods included participant observation and library research. Through interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA), findings revealed that Tachoni circumcision rituals play a central role in shaping culture and language, reinforcing heritage and identity through a nuanced vocabulary of literal and symbolic meanings. These rituals symbolize rites of passage, affirming masculinity and promoting cohesion among circumcised males. However, the trend towards hospital circumcision, influenced by westernization and Christianity, threatens the continuity of Tachoni cultural practices and their associated lexicon. Consequently, documenting Tachoni circumcision rituals and their lexicon is crucial for preserving cultural heritage.

The impact of different salinity stresses [0, 6.4, 12.8, 19.2, and 25.6 dS/m (NaCl)] on the final germination percentage, speed of germination, germination capacity, shoot and root length, seedling vigor index, and total plant dry weight of ten rice cultivars at germination and early seedling stages was investigated in this study. Salinity stress significantly decreased the final germination percentage, speed of germination, germination capacity, shoot and root length, and seedling dry weight in all cultivars, with the most severe effects from level 19.2 and 25.6 dS/m NaCl. Rice cultivars were classified as tolerant, moderately tolerant, moderately susceptible, and susceptible based on the reduction of dry matter, which is considered as the most limiting factor at high NaCl concentrations. The cultivars NJ9108, 3Y9H, 6Y9H, XD22, 5W01, and HLYH3 showed greater efficiency in salt tolerance during germination at 19.4 dS/m salinity. While 20H025, 6Y9H, and XD22 at the seedling stage performed better based on their dry weight reduction. The study found that NJ9108 and XD22 may be used to investigate the effects of salinity on the development processes and physiological consequences at the advanced stage of growth, as salt tolerance during germination and the early seedling stage may be varied from the developed stages. The results suggest that tolerant rice cultivars can be used to study the effects of salinity on the development and other physiological impacts at vegetative and reproductive stages. These findings will support salt-tolerant rice cultivars that may be developed for better production in terms of coping with salinity stresses in the germination and early growth stages.

Based on what comes about, the challenge of actualizing item separation learning can be that it obliges the characteristics of students, which are demonstrated by understudies who are more dynamic when learning. Separated learning is not complicated and chaotic, but it may be a sensible exertion for the teacher to make a palatable product or result. The execution of separated learning, with its potential to make learning more viable and effective, holds guarantee and good faith for long-term instruction.

Este estudio examina la incidencia del control interno en el área administrativa de las cooperativas de transporte de taxis en el Cantón La Maná, Ecuador. Utilizando un enfoque mixto, se analizaron tres cooperativas: TAXMANACAR, Carlos Lozada Quintana y Cerro el Mirador. La investigación se basó en el modelo COSO I, evaluando cinco componentes del control interno: ambiente de control, evaluación de riesgos, actividades de control, información y comunicación, y monitoreo. Los resultados revelaron niveles de confianza moderados (71%-74%) y niveles de riesgo bajos (26%-29%) en todas las cooperativas. Se identificaron fortalezas en información y comunicación, mientras que la evaluación de riesgos y el monitoreo presentaron oportunidades de mejora. El análisis de eficiencia operativa mostró que TAXMANACAR superó a las otras cooperativas en tiempo de respuesta y tasa de quejas, sugiriendo una correlación positiva entre un control interno robusto y la eficiencia operativa. El estudio concluye que, aunque las cooperativas han implementado sistemas de control interno, existe un margen significativo para mejorar, especialmente en la evaluación de riesgos y el monitoreo. Se recomiendan estrategias como el benchmarking de mejores prácticas y la implementación de soluciones tecnológicas para fortalecer el control interno y mejorar la eficiencia operativa.

Background: Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of death in women worldwide. Women living with Human Immunodeficiency virus are at higher risk of acquire cervical cancer. Despite the importance of screening, the proportion of willingness for screening among these women is low in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the magnitude of willingness for cervical cancer screening and its associated factors among women living with HIV.
 
Methods: A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March 14 to May 8, 2018.341 women were selected by using systematic sampling method among adult HIV positive women attending treatment at Jinka general hospital. The data were collected using an interviewer-administered questionnaire.
 
Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to determine the presence and the strength of association between dependent and independent variables by using odds ratio with 95% confidence interval.
 
Results: The status of willingness for cervical cancer screening was 56.9% (95%CI; 51.6%, 62.1%). Women aged 40 years and above (AOR=2.58; 95% CI = 1.21-5.45), having two or less number of children (AOR=2.49; 95% CI =1.3-4.78), having awareness about cervical cancer screening (AOR = 4.85; 95% CI = 2.56-9.17), high perceived susceptibility (AOR=5.02;95%CI=2.74-9.18) and low perceived barrier (AOR=9.87; 95% CI = 5.34-18.31) were found to increase willingness for cervical cancer screening. 
 
Conclusions: In this study, the willingness for cervical cancer screening among HIV positive women was low. Age, number of living children, awareness about cervical cancer screening, perceived barrier and susceptibility were independent factors associated with the willingness of cervical cancer screening. Health care workers and cervical cancer prevention and control programs should create awareness by using different mass media. Health care providers should counsel on the above barrier for willingness to cervical cancer screening.

BACKGROUND         
Early marriage is a harmful practice associated with serious adverse health and social outcome. It is common practice in a male-dominated society. Ethiopia has legislative provisions and stakeholders advocating for the abolition of early marriage, however, the practice appears to continue due to perceived ideal age, which has not been monitored regularly. The aim of this study was to determine the ideal age at first marriage among adolescent girls and assess the role of influencers for early marriage in West Hararge Zone, Eastern Ethiopia.
METHODS
Descriptive analysis of the ideal age for first marriage was done as part of a large cross-sectional survey. Participants were female adolescent girls 13-17 years of age, male reference groups, and female reference groups. Both quantitative and qualitative data were used. Data were cleaned with (SPSS version 20) and analyzed by STATA/SE version 13 and summarized by descriptive statistics. A thematic data analysis approach was utilized to summarize qualitative data.
RESULTS          
The reported mean ideal age at first marriage by adolescent girls was 16.96 (95% CI: 16.81,17.11). The qualitative component of the study also revealed that girls still marry between the ages of 12 and 15 years. Family, peer pressure, marriage intermediaries, and community as a whole were found to influence decisions of young adolescent girls to marry early.
CONCLUSION
 
In conclusion, the Ideal age at first marriage of adolescent girls’ in selected districts of West Hararge is below the legal age of marriage in Ethiopia which is 18 years. This implies early marriage is still common practice in this study area. Since the role of family, peers, religious and community leaders were found significant, in addition to young adolescent girls, working with all influential group and community as a whole could be necessary to decrease and eliminate early marriage
