Authors: Devi Andiya Fidiyanti  , Khunsul Yaqin
Published: March 2022

Purpose of this study is to analyze the criminal liability given to a Notary when he is also a suspect for his duties and authority to make an authentic deed. Second, to analyze the definition of the Notary Position and its duties and authorities. This research uses normative legal research methods. This study concludes: The criminal liability given to a Notary when he is also a suspect and is burdened with Article 263 of the Criminal Code for his duties and authorities to make an authentic deed is very detrimental to the Notary concerned, thus the Notary must have integrity, be smart and adhere to the code ethics and regulations for the position of a notary in carrying out his position. The making of a Notary deed still pays attention to every important point, which is allowed by the laws and regulations, and which is prohibited. Notaries are public officials who have the task and authority to make authentic deeds, in which there is the will of the parties. Then the position of a Notary and its duties and authorities are very much needed for the people of Indonesia, so what has been given by this law must be carried out as well as possible. good by the Notary, so as not to make the Notary a suspect for the authentic deed he made. In this case, the notary is also responsible for fulfilling the responsibilities of the will of the parties stated in the deed he made, so that the notary must be smart and have integrity so that there will be no disputes in the future.

City-Scale Multi-Infrastructure Network Resilience Simulation Tool
Authors: Soga Kenichi , Wu Renjie , Zhao Bingyu , Want Chaofeng
Published: March 2022

The goal of this project is to deliver a coherent framework of simulation tools that can quantify the performance of the water distribution network (WDN) and the transportation network at the city scale under different ground-motion scenarios. In addition to tool development, this project also investigates the potential interactions between structural and infrastructure systems in the case of normal operational and various earthquake damage scenarios. A multi-threaded, high-performance computing (HPC) scalable semi-dynamic traffic simulation model has been developed to understand the complex behaviors of the entire transportation system and to evaluate various performance metrics (e.g., traffic flow, delay, accessibility, etc.) in a large-scale hazard event. An efficient, multi-threaded C++ program, HydrauSim, has been created to understand the hydraulic behavior of WDNs after a disruptive hazard event such as an earthquake. Equipped with advanced linear system solvers, HydrauSim solves hydraulic parameters for a city-scale WDN almost instantaneously, allowing the water distribution change under many earthquake damage scenarios to be determined in a short time. To support a framework of holistic assessment of regional performance after earthquakes, multiple existing tools are integrated, including the ground-motion generation software from Stanford University and the building damage assessment tool rWhale from the SimCenter. Earthquake scenarios (M7.05 Hayward fault) in the San Francisco Bay Area are studied to evaluate the infrastructure networks’ hazard response using the developed tools. In collaboration with the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD), the WDN hydraulic responses on the EBMUD gravity feed zone (65,700 distribution pipes with a total length of 7,223,217 ft) under various ground movement conditions have been studied. The SimCenter building damage estimation tool, rWhale, is used to simulate building damage states for 1.8 million buildings across the Bay Area. On the traffic side, 2 million agents’ movements on the full San Francisco Bay Area’s road network (224,224 nodes with 549,009 links) has been simulated to understand potential traffic re-distributions after major hazard events. Interactions between these three infrastructure systems under the Hayward fault earthquake scenarios are explored in the study.
The Effect Of Interest Rate On Kenya’s Economic Performance
Authors: Ogero Titus Mosoti , Musyoka Julia Mwende
Published: March 2022

The main objective of this paper is to examine the effect of interest rate on Kenya’s economic performance where Time-series data from Central Bank of Kenya for the period of 1995-2015 is employed. The methodology employed in this paper includes the descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analysis to examine the effect. The paper establishes theoretical foundations drawn from economic related theories, fisher’s theory and Keynes liquidity theory to design a basic framework for descriptive investigation to the specific case of interest rate and economic performance. The descriptive results shows that there has been a very high volatility in both interest and inflation rates since 1995 and 2005 respectively with interest rate hitting as low as 12.53% and as high as 33.79% while inflation rates hitting as slow as 1.96 % to as high as 16.30%. GDP growth hit the lowest point of -2.14% and the highest of 4.30. Correlation coefficient technique is employed to establish the strength and direction of the relationship between interest rate and economic performance. The results from regression analysis reveals that interest rate has a negative impact on economic performance in Kenya at 5 percent level (r=-0.738, Beta=0.437, t=1.99, p<0.05). Moreover, the paper finds out that the degree of responsiveness of GDP to changes in the interest rate is large. The paper recommends that there is need for the government to control the country’s interest rate as it is found that it negatively affect the economic performance of the country.

OS SEIS PILARES DO FEDERALISMO FISCAL BRASILEIRO
Authors: Dias Glaucya , Carlos Dias Laercio
Published: March 2022

Uma das graves mazelas existentes na administração político-econômica no Brasil advém da adoção de modelos gerenciais existentes em outros países, sem, contudo, realizar as necessárias e imprescindíveis adaptações a nossa própria realidade. Observando o Federalismo Fiscal Brasileiro, nota-se algumas peculiaridades que podem descaracterizar o conceito de federalismo fiscal. Portanto, neste estudo, abordar-se-ão os pilares sobre os quais se apoia o Federalismo Fiscal Brasileiro, com o intuito de fornecer subsídios informativos que possibilitem compreender a nossa realidade. Com base nestes estudos, concluímos que a Educação Fiscal é elemento disseminador, essencial para que a população em geral, conscientize-se sobre o papel socioeconômico dos tributos, proporcionando um conhecimento mais abrangente sobre gestão pública, outorgando aos cidadãos possibilidades de, crítica e tecnicamente, aferir qual o grau de equidade e eficiência de nosso Federalismo Fiscal.
PROGRAM - BRAZILIAN SYNERGY: Implementing Contractualization in Brazil
Authors: CORREIA SILVA MELCHISEDEK
Published: March 2022

Atualmente existem inquietos modelos teóricos aclarando exaustivamente a importância da contratualização, todavia este trabalho não se limita em descrever conceitos sobre o tema, mas sim buscar aplicabilidade plena ao termo contratualizar. O desafio proposto aqui é alinhar planejamento estratégico com a execução de ponta, promovendo o domínio da política pública, inclusive quando a ação está em curso. Este choque de gestão propicia a mudança de cultura na administração pública, o que este trabalho propõe é algo inovador e precisa ser implementado em conjunto. Atualmente vários órgãos utilizam-se de acordo de resultados, de vinculações de remuneração ao desempenho, premiações à dirigentes exitosos e etc. Isto demonstra o rompimento de paradigma na gestão pública, e não mais uma continuidade de antigas reformas, é neste contexto que a gestão por resultados ganha força no setor público, ao traçar metas, ao mapear as competências dos servidores, à traçar objetivos e penalidades no sentido de alcançar a finalidade pra qual o órgão foi criado. Neste acordo não só o gestor, mas todos os envolvidos têm direitos e obrigações, alinhando-se em prol de um só desígnio. A ideia agora é produzir aos dirigentes condições de conhecer as potencialidades de seu quadro de pessoal, podendo assim alocar seus recursos humanos de forma eficaz aproveitando ao máximo de seus recursos, dar-lhes certa autonomia orçamentária no sentido de facilitar a manobra da máquina pública e colocar-lhes a par em tempo real da situação de sua unidade em relação ao planejamento estratégico. O grande trunfo do Programa Sinergia Brasil é revelar de forma rápida e fácil o atual desempenho de suas políticas de atuação, não necessitando de apenas ao final do exercício se apresentar um relatório de execução das metas cumpridas ou não. Desta forma, o gestor conhece sua execução e se for o caso pode promover ajustes ao longo do exercício. Em resumo, o Programa Sinergia Brasil nasce de um contrato de resultados e se completa em um modelo eficiente de gerenciamento de indicadores.
Facile synthesis of heterostructured g-C3N4/Ag -TiO2 photocatalysts with enhanced visible-light photocatalytic performance
Authors: TANGWONGPUTTI Chonnipha , REUBROYCHAROEN Prasert , SUJARIDWORAKUN Pornapa
Published: March 2022

In this study, the g-C3N4/Ag-TiO2 composite photocatalysts were prepared to enhance the efficient utilization of solar energy. The g-C3N4 was synthesized by facile heat treatment of urea at 600℃ for 4 h, and 0.05 wt% to 3 wt% Ag-TiO2 were obtained through the chemical reduction method. The composite photocatalysts were prepared by mixing the g-C3N4 and Ag-TiO2 with a weight ratio of 50:50 at room temperature. The photocatalytic efficiency was carried out by using 0.05 g of photocatalysts with 10 mg·L-1 of rhodamine B 120 mL under 60 min of visible light irradiation. The experimental results indicated that a sample with 0.1 wt% Ag-TiO2 could degrade rhodamine B up to 21.21%. The g-C3N4/(0.1 wt% Ag-TiO2) and g-C3N4 showed rhodamine B degradation efficiency up to 100%, which was 10.4 times and 4.7 times of pure TiO2 and 0.1 wt% Ag-TiO2, respectively. It can be suggested that the Ag deposited on TiO2 played an important role in the absorption capability under the visible light through the surface plasmon resonance effect. In addition, heterojunction between g-C3N4 and TiO2 could reduce the recombination of electron-hole pairs.

Published: March 2022

A mid-frequency tonpilz transducer array was designed and analyzed by finite element method using commercial ATILA code and constructed using piezoceramic rings with lead magnesium niobate (PMN)-lead titanate (PT) composition. The morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) 0.675Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.325PbTiO3 composition was chosen to obtain higher performance from the transducer due to the superior dielectric and electromechanical properties of the MPB compositions. A pure perovskite phase was obtained from the ceramics. Piezoelectric charge coefficient (d33) was measured as 435 pC×N-1. Single tonpilz element and an array consisting of 7-unit array were constructed and later potted in polyurethane for underwater measurements. A second array was also constructed for comparison from commercial hard Pb(Zr,Ti)O3-PZT ceramics. The longitudinal piston mode vibration frequency of the tonpilz transducer was measured around 33 kHz in air and around 35 kHz in water. The PMN-PT based array was found to have a comparable transmit performance and a superior receive performance compared to PZT.

Classificação dos tipos de ciclones sobre o Oceano Atlântico Sul em projeções com o RegCM4 E MCGs
Authors: Marrafon Vitor Hugo , Reboita Michelle Simões , Da Rocha Rosmeri Porfírio , De Jesus Eduardo Marcos
Published: March 2022

Este estudo tem como objetivo classificar os tipos de ciclones sobre o oceano Atlântico Sul em três projeções do Regional Climate Model (RegCM4), bem como nos modelos globais (MCGs) que forneceram as condições de fronteira para o regional, e identificar sistemas que fazem transição para tropical (TT). O cenário climático utilizado é o RCP8.5. A classificação dos tipos de ciclones envolve a utilização de três algoritmos: o primeiro para identificar e rastrear os ciclones no oceano Atlântico Sul com base na vorticidade relativa em 925 hPa; o segundo para fornecer as características térmicas dos ciclones através da metodologia do Cyclone Phase Space e o terceiro para separar os ciclones com base em suas características térmicas. Considerando o período de 2020-2050 (2051-2080), o ensemble dos MCGs e do RegCM4 projetam ligeira redução (aumento) na frequência de ciclones tropicais quando comparados ao clima presente (1979-2005). Para os ciclones extratropicais é projetada tendência de diminuição da frequência. Uma das hipóteses iniciais do estudo era que num cenário de aquecimento, haveria um incremento no número de TT, entretanto os resultados obtidos não indicam mudança na frequência desses sistemas já que tanto no clima presente quanto futuro o número de transições é de ~2,8 sistemas por década em ambos os ensembles.

O movimento escola sem partido em questão: narrativas docentes
Authors: De Oliveira Paula Sandrini Laura Eduarda , Dias dos Anjos Daniela , Agostini Nilo
Published: March 2022

O Movimento Escola sem Partido é um tema que se tornou objeto de nossa pesquisa nos anos de 2018, quando ganhou grande repercussão na área da educação, seja por aqueles que defendiam a proposta ou por aqueles que a rejeitavam. Neste texto, apresentamos reflexões a partir de uma pesquisa realizada naquele ano, cujo objetivo era de conhecer a trajetória de professores da educação básica e o modo como lidavam com as questões trazidas por este Movimento. Para tanto, foram realizadas entrevistas narrativas com cinco professores. Nestas, os professores falaram sobre sua trajetória profissional, bem como analisaram o Movimento Escola sem Partido. O estudo objetivava ainda compreender a trajetória deste Movimento e seus argumentos. A determinação do Movimento Escola sem Partido de que “o professor respeitará o direito dos pais a que seus filhos recebam a educação moral que esteja de acordo com suas próprias convicções”, levanta indagações sobre como lidar com a diversidade de convicções e concepções que podem coexistir em uma sala de aula. Na medida em que a pesquisa ouviu os professores, personagens diretamente implicados nessa proposta, reunimos dados que contribuíram para ampliar os modos de compreensão deste movimento, do ponto de vista dos professores. A partir dos estudos de Paulo Freire, problematizamos os sentidos de neutralidade e o sentido de educação moral implícitos na proposta, bem como analisamos os riscos do fanatismo e do sectarismo que este movimento pode comportar.

Published: March 2022

O presente artigo apresenta os resultados parciais de uma pesquisa de mestrado referente as representações sociais e as experiências vividas por pré-adolescentes a respeito da gordofobia, relacionando-a com o bullying, a violência e as dificuldades escolares. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de cunho qualitativo, o qual teve como eixo norteador a Teoria das Representações Sociais, a partir de Serge Moscovici. Foi desenvolvida em 3 (três) escolas públicas de Sidrolândia/MS, com 16 (dezesseis) alunos do 5º ano do Ensino Fundamental, por meio de grupos focais, sendo um em cada escola. Os dados foram transcritos e analisados a partir da perspectiva de análise de conteúdo de Bardin. Os resultados revelam que o corpo pode ser visto como dispositivo de diferenças e intimidações por conta de sua estrutura. Para os alunos, a gordofobia é retratada como bullying. Praticas sistemáticas que provoca desconforto e desânimo para frequentar a escola devido aos maus tratos e a violência, o que afeta diretamente o seu desenvolvimento acadêmico. Ficou clara a demonstração de sentimento, dor e sofrimento por aqueles que estão fora do padrão exigido socialmente. Com isso, os alunos internalizam as representações negativas sobre seus próprios corpos e exteriorizam seu sofrimento de forma agressiva, fazendo com que a violência ocorra diariamente na escola. O que faz dessa instituição um local inseguro e totalmente despreparado.

Der einheitliche Jahresabschluss gemeinnütziger Organisationen
Authors: Heckmann Jonas
Published: March 2022

Aufgrund ihrer Tätigkeit für das Gemeinwohl und der damit einhergehenden Entlastung des Staates sind NPOs und ihre Unterstützer für ihre Zuwendungen steuerbefreit und von gewinnorientierten Unternehmen substanziell zu unterscheiden. Diese Differenzierung zeigt sich auch in den Jeweiligen Jahresabschlüssen. Die wissenschaftliche Debatte über den Jahresabschluss gemeinnütziger Organisationen ist bisher stets mit einem starken Fokus auf einzelne Rechtsformen, die Anwendung der Vorschriften des HGB oder die Besonderheiten spendensammelnder Organisationen geführt worden. Ein rechtsformunabhängiger Blick, der die Gemeinnützigkeit als einendes Merkmal in den Vordergrund stellt, fehlt in der Debatte bisher. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, ein Jahresabschlusskonzept für gemeinnützige Organisationen zu entwickeln, das sämtliche Anforderungen an deren Jahresabschluss berücksichtigt.

Overcoming high pre-transplant isoagglutinin titers using high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin, salvage plasmapheresis, and booster rituximab without splenectomy in ABO-incompatible living donor liver transplantation: a case report
Authors: Moon Hyung Hwan
Published: March 2022

High pre-transplant isoagglutinin is a risk factor for antibody-mediated rejection in ABO-incompatible living donor liver transplantation. A 55-year-old man with alcoholic liver cirrhosis underwent ABO-incompatible living donor liver transplantation. The initial isoagglutinin immunoglobulin G titer was 1:1,024. Despite five sessions of plasmapheresis, the isoagglutinin titer was not significantly reduced (from 1:1,024 to 1:512). We decided to perform 11 plasmaphereses and proceed with liver transplantation regardless of the isoagglutinin titer (1:128 at transplantation day). Instead, we planned to administer 0.5 g/kg intravenous immunoglobulin and booster rituximab (200 mg) after transplant. On postoperative day 6, the isoagglutinin titer increased from 1:32 to 1:64, and the patient received plasmapheresis twice. The patient maintained stable liver function without evidence of further complications or rejection. The high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin, salvage plasmapheresis, and booster rituximab protocol might be able to overcome a pre-transplant high isoagglutinin titer in ABO-incompatible living donor liver transplantation without splenectomy.

Published: March 2022

Introduction: Dentists are at high risk of contamination by COVID-19 due to the proximity to the patients' oral cavity and airways. Objective: To elucidate the behaviors and adversities experienced by dentists because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This descriptive study invited 1.811 dentists affiliated with professional associations, dental cooperatives, and health insurance providers from São Paulo State, Brazil, in 2020 of which 473 agreed to participate. The data collection, using Google Forms, included the variables: sociodemographic conditions; characteristics of dental work; level of healthcare and sources of information about the pandemic; changes in the work process, financial impact with personal protective equipment (PPE) and biosafety measures; and consequences of the pandemic in the professional practice. Results: The 473 dentists (40.36±13.44 years), were mostly women (52.22%), had a specialty (55.60%), and were self-employed professionals (73.36%). It was observed that 78.01% of professionals had a reduction in their monthly income. The average of patients treated daily decreased by 35.48%. It was found that 30.44% of professionals had difficulty with the use of PPE, 3.59% contracted COVID-19, and 53.03% decided to postpone the appointment if the patient with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 sought treatment, even in emergencies. The use of high-speed handpieces was reported by most professionals (n=428; 90.48%). Conclusion: Behaviors: dentists used PPE and assigned very high or high levels of precaution about COVID-19. Adversities: dentists reported an increase in operating costs, changes in the work process, a decrease in appointments, and a reduction in the monthly income.

In this paper we study the rotating electroosmotic flow of a power-law fluid with Navier slip boundary conditions under high zeta potential subjected to the action of a vertical magnetic field in a variable cross-section microchannel. Without using the Debye–Hückel linear approximation, the finite difference method is used to numerically calculate the potential distribution and velocity distribution of the rotating electroosmotic flow subjected to an external magnetic field. When the behavior index \begin{document}$n = 1$\end{document}, the fluid obtained is a Newtonian fluid. The analysis results in this paper are compared with the analytical approximate solutions obtained in the Debye–Hückel linear approximation to prove the feasibility of the numerical method in this paper. In addition, the influence of behavior index n, Hartmann number Ha, rotation angular velocity \begin{document}$\Omega $\end{document}, electric width K and slip parameters \begin{document}$\beta $\end{document} on the velocity distribution are discussed in detail. It is obtained that when the Hartmann number Ha > 1, the velocity decreases with the increase of the Hartmann number Ha; but when the Hartmann number Ha < 1, the magnitude of the x-direction velocity u increases with the augment of Ha.

The precision dynamic measurement of absolute gravity based on the cold atom interferometer can provide a new method for marine gravimetry, so that it has attracted more attention. Based on the homemade shipborne cold atom interferometric absolute gravity measurement system, we carry out a series of measurement experiments in a certain area of the South China Sea. Under dynamic conditions, the suppression of measurement noise is essential for the improvement of the measurement performance. According to the physical model of the measurement system, in this paper a data processing method is proposed based on the extended Kalman filter algorithm for the absolute gravity dynamic measurement. The observed atomic interference fringe data are filtered in the time domain to estimate the absolute gravity value. Based on this processing method, the sensitivity of absolute gravity measurement under the condition of ship speed less than 2.1 km/h is improved from 300.2 mGal/Hz1/2 to 136.8 mGal/Hz1/2 (T = 4 ms). Comparing the processed data with the data calculated from the earth gravity model (XGM2019), it is found that both of the data are in good agreement. These results confirm the effectiveness of the data processing method proposed in this paper, and provide a new processing method of suppressing the measurement noise of shipborne cold atom interferometric absolute gravity measurement system.

In this paper, we fabricate a back channel etched structure thin film transistor (TFT) pixel array with hafnium-aluminum oxide dielectric and indium-zinc-tin-oxide (IZTO) semiconductor using a solution process. The electrical characteristics of IZTO TFT are modified by N2O plasma treatment. In comparison with the subthreshold swing and saturation mobility of the device untreated by plasma , the subthreshold swing decreases from 204 to 137 mV·dec–1, and the saturation mobility increases from 29.12 to 51.52 cm2·V–1·s–1. Improvement in the mobility and the subthreshold swing (SS) demonstrate that interface states may be passivated by reactive O radicals that are generated by N2O plasma, which is confirmed by the result of X-ray photoelectron spectrum analysis. In addition, the stability of negative bias illumination stress (NBIS) shift is only 0.1V for 3600 s with an illumination intensity of 10000 lux. This result indicates that its superior stability meets the requirements for the display driver. Therefore, N2O plasma treatment is verified to be an effective method to improve device performance and light stability for IZTO TFT pixel array.
On an Erlang(2) Process with Dependence Structure between Interclaim Arrivals and Claim Sizes
Authors: Li Qiao , Bao Zhenhua
Published: March 2022

This paper considers an extension to the classical compound Poisson risk model for which an Erlang(2) process is utillized to the dependence structure between the claim sizes and interclaim times. In this framework, we derive the Lundberg generalised equation and the number of its roots, and the Laplace Transform(LT) of the expected discounted penalty function. We also show that the Gerber-Shiu function satisfies a defective renewal equation. Some explicit expressions are given to measure the impact of Erlang(2) dependence structure in the risk model on the ruin probability.

Leaf blight and corm rot of taro (Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott) caused by Phytophthora colocasiae Raciborski is the most disparaging disease of taro inducing severe losses in yield and quality of taro corms. Investigations were carried out in Umudike in 2016 and 2017 to determine the pathotypes present in that locality with a view to screening them on available taro genotypes for resistant cultivars. Symptomatic taro plant samples were collected from Taro Project Farm of the National Root Crops Research Institute, Umudike. Leaf tissue sections were excised from the periphery of lesions on symptomatic leaf, surface sterilized in 10% Sodium Hypochlorite solution for 2 minutes, rinsed in three changes of sterile distilled water and plated on Water Agar (WA). Mycelia emerging from diseased tissues after incubation were aseptically transferred to Corn Meal Agar (CMA). A total of 15 fungal isolates under 6 groups of species were obtained and these isolates were transferred to Carrot Agar (CA) from time to time until pure cultures were obtained. Based on varied cultural patterns, morphological characteristics and microscopic examination, the isolates were identified as Phytophthora sp, Fusarium sp FSSC, Fusarium solani, F. oxysporum and F. equiseti. Pathogenicity test confirmed that only Phytophthora sp induced leaf blight on detached leaf of taro plant. Molecular characterization of the isolates via Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) sequence analyses confirmed that the already implicated Phytophthora species was Phytophthora sansomeana. This is apparently the first report of P. sansomeana as a taro leaf blight pathogen in addition to the already known P. colocasisae.

Sweet sorghum is a potential multipurpose crop for food, feed, and fuel. The present investigation was conducted to study the possibility of exploiting heterosis in breeding for improved ethanol yield in sweet sorghum. A total of sixteen F1 hybrids crossed in L x T fashion, 8 parents (4lines x 4 testers) and check CSH-22S were evaluated in 3 locations of A.P namely., Agricultural college farm, Bapatla; Regional Agricultural Research Station, Lam, Guntur; Agricultural Research Station, Garikapadu in RBD fashion for days to 50 % flowering, days to maturity, plant height, number of nodes per plant, stem girth, fresh stalk weight, panicle weight, 1000 grain weight, juice yield, brix %, total soluble sugars, ethanol yield and grain yield. The range of heterosis over mid parent, better parent and commercial check indicated that it was high with respect to ethanol productivity related traits particularly juice yield and brix per cent. However, it was deviating for days to 50 per cent flowering, days to maturity, number of nodes per plant, plant height, and 1000 grain weight which has shown negative heterosis. In hybrids, there is an improvement in the juice, brix per cent and ethanol yield, but heterosis is limited for 1000 grain weight and ultimately grain yield. Out of 16 hybrids, six hybrids have performed well in respect of juice yield, brix and ethanol yield.

Background: 10 years prior to this study period (2017) the Nigerian National Blindness and Visual Impairment Survey (2007) obtained data from all states and regions of Nigeria to enable for effective planning and provision of eye care. 10 years later on update of the statistics is most desirable especially with local studies. This is a preliminary study and the data obtained will act as template for effective formulation/planning on management of visual impairment and blinding ocular problems.

Objective:  i. To determine the prevalence and causes of blindness and visual impairment in Awka, South East Nigeria. ii. To provide data-base for effective eye care delivery.

Methodology: A retrospective, hospital-based study of new patients seen over a 12 months period from January to December 2017 at the Eye Clinic Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Awka.

Result: A total of 1,776 patients were seen in the 12 months period. 737 (41.5%) were males, and 1039 (58.5%) females with ratio of 1:1.4 respectively. The most frequently occurring age group was 21-30 years, followed by 11-20 years. Out of the patients reviewed 185 (10.4%) had visual impairment (presenting VA  6/18) in at least one eye. 72(4.1%) had blindness (presenting VA<3/60) in at least one eye. 113(6.4%) had low vision or moderate and severe visual impairment (MSVI) (presenting VA  6/18 to 3/60) in at least one eye. 59 patients (3.3%) had visual impairment in both eyes. 16 (0.9%) were blind in both eyes whilst 43 (2.4%) had low vision in both eyes. The prevalence of blindness, low vision and visual impairment was 0.9%, 2.4%, 3.3% respectively. Major causes of blindness were Glaucoma (26%), Cataract (23.3%), Trauma (13.3%). For visual impairment it was cataract (24%) glaucoma (22%) and refractive Error (21.2%).

Conclusion: The common causes of blindness are avoidable. More robust eye care systems involving promotion, preventive and curative measures should be developed to address the identified common causes of blindness and visual impairment.

For decades floods have continuously threatened communities’ livelihoods and destroyed properties and the ecosystem as a whole. In an attempt to minimize the destructive nature of these events, different flood mitigation strategies have been employed. Nevertheless, the challenge with these strategies employed is that they seldom give audience to the people affected, instead focusing on technical solutions. Thus the need to employ an integrated floods management approach that puts local knowledge into consideration. Although some studies have emphasized the need to have this incorporated with technical expertise to get more lasting solutions to the negative flood effects, much work still needs to be done. This study was conducted in the Nyando sub-catchment, of Lower Kano Plains in Kisumu County, Kenya. The study utilized both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. Stratified sampling technique was used to select the three flood-prone areas in Lower Kano Plains, namely, Nyando, Miwani, and Lower Nyakach as study sites. Simple random sampling technique was then used to select 100 households for the survey while Purposive sampling was used to select the key informants. Methods of data collection included questionnaires, key informant interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), GIS-integrated participatory community mapping, and desk reviews. The main research findings were that 65.93% of respondents in this study live downstream of river Nyando, of which 60.00% resided in Nyando Sub County, thus exacerbating the risk to floods. The study concluded that Miwani, Nyando, and Lower Nyakach were found to be the flood risk areas of Lower Kano Plains.
