Developing a Culturally Appropriate Measure of Effective Leadership for Sri Lanka
Authors: Dias Rashmi , Kailasapathy Pavithra
Published: June 2023

Research has shown that characteristics of effective leadership differ in different national cultures. Measures available for evaluating effective leadership are limited. There are tools developed in South Asian countries such as India. However, research has shown Sri Lankan cultural values differ from these countries. This paper identified behaviours and traits of leadership that are perceived as important for an effective leader in the Sri Lankan context. It also presents a Questionnaire for Evaluation of Effective Leadership (QEEL) to assess effective leadership in Sri Lanka, and explains the development process of this questionnaire. The QEEL covers eight aspects: motivation, guidance, communication, decision-making, empathy, integrity, and change management. It was designed in three steps: Item generation, Item identification and Validation.  QEEL can also be used by organisations and researchers in other countries with similar cultural values.

Introduction: According to statistics, 70% of reported rape cases had happened with the willingness of the female partner, where the law enforcement authorities have charged as the victim is below 16 years. This study evaluated the sexual victimization of such females by their partners in relation to the age gap between the couple.Methodology: This is a descriptive study of 63 female victims of sexual assault aged 12 to 16 years, presented to the National Hospital Kandy during a one-year period. The sample was divided into three groups according to the age gap between the victim and perpetrator (P1; 0 to 5.9 years, P2; 6 to 11.9 years and P3; 12 to 18 years)Results: The age gap of the couples ranged from 1.8 to 17.7 years, with a mean of 9.5 years and 49% belonging to P2. The percentage of couples engaging in sexual relations with penile penetration was higher with an increasing age gap. In P1, 71% had willingly engaged in sexual activity, while it was only 45% and 44% in P2 and P3 respectively. Furthermore, in P3, 30% of the victims had allowed the alleged sexual act following intimidation, but it was not observed in P1. This study revealed that within a month of courtship sexual activity had occurred in 55% of cases in P3 while it was 32% in P2 and, only 21% in P1. In P3, 11% had engaged in sexual activity on the first encounter, whereas it was not observed in P1 and P2.Conclusion: With the increasing age gap, the vulnerability to sexual victimization of female adolescents by partners is more prevalent. Therefore, considering the age gap between partners may be more justifiable than adhering to a fixed age of consent to prosecute and punish in cases of sexual assault of adolescent females. Hence, it is evident that the application of the “Romeo and Juliet exemption” to the Sri Lankan setup is timely and justifiable.
Foetal patients, surgeons, and medical negligence: An insight for a new legislation
Authors: Rathnayake A. P.
Published: June 2023

Foetal interventions are the direct result of developments in the field of medicine. The scientific advancements opened the way for pregnant women to select the treatment of the foetus ‘in utero’. This is an option available when the pregnant woman is reluctant to terminate the pregnancy on the grounds of congenital abnormalities of the foetus. Further, treatment of the foetus is considered a psychological relief to pregnant women who otherwise had to wait until the birth of the child to remedy the defects. The predominant method of treatment of the foetus is ‘foetal surgery’ which facilitates the treatment of the foetus in the womb. This demarcates the treatment of the fatal conditions of the foetus through invasive procedures or open surgery. The problem that arises in this context is whether the foetal surgeons exercise a medical duty of care towards the foetus. The problem is aggravated when the viable foetuses become patients as such patients have the potential to survive outside the womb (ex-utero) irrespective of the destruction of the life of the mother. Medical negligence and a course of action for medical malpractice litigation are established only upon the proof of the existence of a medical duty of care and the breach of it. This paper aims to provide insight into legislation on the medical negligence of surgeons performing surgeries on foetuses. The methodology adopted in the paper is qualitative in nature and a comparative legal analysis with the jurisdiction of the United States of America (USA). The paper's conclusion holds that foetal surgeons legally undertake to act for the benefit of foetal patients and have an obligation to avoid negligence.
Effect of Seed Treatments on Seed Germination and Seedling Growth of Madhuca longifolia var. longifolia (“Mee”)
Authors: Karunarathna H. G. M. K. , Eeswara J. P. , Iqbal M. C. M.
Published: June 2023

Madhuca longifolia (Koenig) J.F. Macb. var. longifolia is a forest tree species with high reforestation potential in the dry zone of Sri Lanka. Seasonality in seed production and lack of plant production are the drawbacks of this species regenerating naturally. Seeds were treated with gibberellic acid (GA3), potassium nitrate (KNO3), distilled water (DW), and scarified in addition to control without any treatment. Data were evaluated for germination and seedling growth under ex vitro and in vitro conditions. The objective of this study is to determine the dormancy associated with M. longifolia seeds and the effect of pre-treatments on seedling growth. Mechanically scarified seeds, under ex vitro conditions, showed higher germination than all the other treatments after 28 days and a significantly higher percentage (p<0.05) than the control under both light (90.00%) and dark (85.45%). Dark conditions stimulated germination significantly within the first seven days of sowing. The highest shoot growth was observed for GA3, KNO3, and DW (8.3, 8.6, and 8.5 cm, respectively) treatments while rooting was not significantly affected by the applied treatments. In vitro germination was tested for de-coated, surface sterilized seeds on half-strength liquid Murashige and Skoog (½ MS) media with different concentrations of benzylaminopurine (BAP) such as 0, 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0 mg/L. The germination percentage of ½ MS with 0.5 mg/L BAP (77.71%) was higher than all the other media compositions. Results revealed that M. longifolia seeds show a lower level of germination due to physical dormancy, and it can be released by mechanical scarification.
Bilingual Phenomena Occurring in the Speech of Albanian Native Speakers
Authors: Shabani Festa
Published: June 2023

This study aims to determine whether bilingual phenomena occur in the speech of Albanian bilingual students with high exposure to English, in an attempt to detect the influence of English on the Albanian language. Special attention is paid to bilingual aspects like codeswitching, lexical borrowings, calques, and hybrid compounds. Data have been gathered through participant systematic observation: Albanian bilingual students have been observed within informal settings of Pristina international schools. Their conversations have been recorded and transcribed for further analysis. The study shows that code-switching is the most common linguistic behaviour among the students under investigation. However, in addition to code-switching, lexical borrowings and calques also play a roughly equivalent role in their speech. This research provides evidence of bilingual phenomena resulting from direct, everyday language contact between English and Albanian in Pristina international schools, which aids in understanding the sociolinguistic changes brought about by such contact.
Becoming the Rhizomatic Outsider: A Study of the Narrative Deconstruction of Being in Ali Smith’s The Accidental
Authors: Nazockdast Sara , Ramin Zohreh
Published: June 2023

Ali Smith’s novels and short stories are violently realistic in terms of depicting the hollow and disconnected lives of the postmodern individual. However, they also, albeit obliquely, aspire for hope and change. The loss of a sense of location, direction, and, as a result, a meaningful presence is interwoven in The Accidental’s persistent concern with time. Accordingly, in this essay, drawing upon Michael Kane’s analysis of postmodern time and space, The Accidental is studied with regard to capitalist time and simulacra, the culture of pastiche and spectacle, and spatiotemporal fragmentation. Within this backdrop and informed by Derridean deconstruction complemented with the study’s Deleuzian framework, the novel’s subversive deconstructions of a metaphysics of being and the substitution of fictional becoming are explored. It is argued that The Accidental corporealizes supplementarity and employs rhizomatic disruptions in the lives of the characters and the structure of the narrative to open up deterritorized spaces for monoritarian authenticity, agency, and creativity.
Is It All Greek to You? An Analysis of Communication Strategies among Erasmus Students
Authors: Jokić Nikola
Published: June 2023

The goal of this paper is to investigate English as a lingua franca (ELF), a phenomenon that has attracted much attention in the last twenty years. Specifically, it aims to analyse the communicative strategies non-native speakers of English employ with a view to securing understanding. To achieve this, informal ELF conversations among Erasmus students at the University of Graz are investigated. This study deploys qualitative methods, i.e., semistructured interviews with Erasmus students were tape-recorded and transcribed. Therefore, communication strategies that contribute to mutual understanding are presented along with examples and their frequency of usage in the data. Furthermore, the numerous functions of communication strategies are mentioned along with possible explanations of their use. The findings show that Erasmus students employ various strategies with the aim of achieving mutual understanding and preventing possible communication problems.

This study aims to find the main issues that underlie the occurrence of the practice of polygamy without a permit in the East Bacan District, South Halmahera Regency. This study is field research. The research method used is descriptive qualitative research, namely a type of research that provides a systematic and factual description of situations and events regarding factors, characteristics and relationships between phenomena, with theoretical, normative and empirical juridical approaches. This study concluded that the implementation of polygamy without a permit in East Bacan District was carried out through cases of premarital pregnancy and coupled with low public awareness regarding the importance of marriage procedures. The limited budget and human resources owned by the East Bacan District KUA in conducting outreach to the people of East Bacan District have triggered the lack of attention from the Office of the Religious Affairs Office of Bacan District to minimize the incidence of polygamy without a permit in East Bacan District. The implementation of polygamy without a permit in East Bacan District had legal impacts, including the weak legal status of marriage, the absence of birth certificates for children born in polygamous marriages without permission.
Hvordan fremmedspråk fremmer bærekraft i økonomiutdanningen
Authors: Cardona Margrete Dyvik
Published: June 2023

Recent research has identified several key competencies for sustainability in the economics education. Other researchers have found a connection between multilingualism and diversity within the field of economics. We saw the need to develop a course which introduces sustainability competencies in economics through foreign language (L2) instruction. Our hypothesis is that the L2 classroom is well suited to incorporate sustainability perspectives as an organic part of other considerations, and that linguistic diversity is a precondition for other kinds of diversity. We designed learning activities and course evaluations aimed at safeguarding the key competencies for sustainability, economics and L2. Through a quantitative review of a dataset consisting of the report from a case-assignment, a written assignment, and course evaluations, we ascertained how different learning activities have contributed to acquiring the key competencies for sustainability in economics. We found that the competencies for foreign language and sustainability benefit from coinciding pedagogical approaches, which were tried out via Content and Language Integrated Learning, including cooperative and problem-based learning. We found that competencies like ethical awareness, critical thinking, strategic and future oriented thinking, cultural knowledge, intercultural and general communication, and knowledge of country-specific sustainability challenges are enhanced through the teaching of a foreign language.

The history of icon painting in the Kostroma Region in the second half of the 16th – first third of the 17th century
Authors: Сулоев И.Н.
Published: June 2023

В исследовании ставится цель обобщить, систематизировать сведения и исследовать развитие иконописи в Костромском крае во второй половине XVI – первой трети XVII века. Вводятся в научный оборот и изучаются данные из немногочисленных дошедших до наших дней источников. В 1982 году Государственный архив Костромской области пострадал от пожара, что привело к утрате многих документов XVI–XVII веков. В основу исследования положены утраченные документы и материалы архива в частичном упоминании В.Г. Брюсовой; Писцовая книга Костромы 1627/28–1629/1630 гг., которая является важным источником по социально-экономическому положению города в первой трети XVII века; сведения из различных дореволюционных изданий, новейшего свода русской иконописи XIII–XIX вв. и других источников. Систематизация приведенных фактов дает представление о формировании и развитии иконописи в Костромском крае в указанный период. Начало становления иконописи в Костроме предварительно отнесено к последней четверти XVI века, в первой трети XVII века работы местных иконописцев уже распространяются по России и Костромскому краю и имеют характерные черты письма.

This study aims to generalize, systematize and study the development of icon painting in the Kostroma Region in the second half of the 16th – the first third of the 17th century. The author introduces into scientific circulation and systematizes information from a few sources that have come down to our days. In 1982, the State Archive of the Kostroma Region suffered from a fire, so many documents of the 16th–17th centuries were lost. The study is based on lost documents and archive materials in partial mention by V.G. Bryusova; the Scribe Book of Kostroma 1627/28–1629/1630, which is an important source on the social and economic situation of the city in the first third of the 17th century; information from various pre-revolutionary publications, the present corpus of Russian icon painting of the 13th–19th and other sources. The systematization of the given data gives an idea of the formation and development of icon painting in the Kostroma Region in the specified period. The beginning of the formation of icon painting in Kostroma dates back to the last quarter of the 16th century. In the first third of the 17th century, the works of Kostroma icon painters were already spreading throughout Russia and the Kostroma Region and were distinguished by their painting.

Holiday as a theme in the works of Maya Koveshnikova
Authors: Лихацкая Л.Н.
Published: June 2023

Статья посвящена отображению темы праздника в творчестве Майи Дмитриевны Ковешниковой. Ранее искусствоведами отмечались звучность, торжественность, нарядность натюрмортов с цветами, написанных этой художницей. Цель представленного в статье исследования — выявить особенности изобразительного языка и образного воплощения темы праздника в произведениях разных жанров — натюрморта, портрета, пейзажа, композиции, в которых работала М.Д. Ковешникова (хотя наибольшее внимание ею уделено натюрморту, в том числе и тематическому). С помощью искусствоведческого анализа определены композиционные и колористические приемы, смысловая наполненность образов. Элементы иконографического и символико-культурологического методов изучения картин позволили выявить образно-символический ряд, вписанный как в контекст русской и советской культуры, так и в континуум мировоззрения художницы. В качестве лейтмотивов в раскрытии темы праздника определены образы и символы русской народной культуры (элементы стеновой росписи, орнаментальной вышивки, образы хлеба, цветов и др.), знаковая работа с цветом (преимущественно красным) и светом. В содержательном плане праздник в творчестве М.Д. Ковешниковой связан с культурным наследием, народной и личной памятью, прославлением труда и силы человеческого духа, окрашен в разные эмоциональные тона.

The article is devoted to the representation of the holiday theme in the work of Maya Koveshnikova. Previously, art historians noted the sonority, solemnity, elegance of still lifes with flowers of this artist. The purpose of this study is to identify the features of the visual language and the figurative embodiment of the holiday theme in works of different genres — still life, portrait, landscape, compositions in which M.D. Koveshnikova worked (although she paid the most attention to still life, including thematic). The art criticism analysis allowed the author to determine compositional and colouristic techniques, semantic fullness of images. The elements of iconographic and symbolic-cultural methods of describing paintings helped to identify the figurative-symbolic series integrated both into the context of Russian and Soviet culture and into the continuum of the artist's personal world-view. Images and symbols of Russian folk culture (elements of wall painting, ornamental embroidery, images of bread, flowers, etc.), iconic work with colour (mainly red) and light are identified as leitmotivs in the disclosure of the holiday theme. In terms of content, the holiday in the works of Maya Koveshnikova is associated with cultural heritage, national and personal memory, glorification of labour and the power of the human spirit, painted in different emotional tones.

Suatu Kajian Mengenai Keterkaitan Faktor-Faktor Pembentukan Karakter dalam Kitab Amsal
Authors: Sualang Farel Yosua
Published: June 2023

Kitab Amsal banyak memberikan penekanan terhadap hubungan vertikal antara Tuhan dan manusia, begitupun hubungan horizontal antara sesama manusia. Tidaklah heran, ajaran hikmat dalam kitab Amsal menawarkan tentang suatu antitesis kehidupan seseorang antara sifat-sifat bijak dan bebal yang memiliki kontribusi kepada pembentukan karakter. Namun begitu, kajian mengenai faktor-faktor pembentukan karakter dalam kitab Amsal masih menjadi suatu perdebatan (khususnya interpretasi Brown dan Bland). Tujuan penelitian ini adalah ingin menemukan suatu keterkaitan faktor-faktor pembentukan karakter dalam kitab Amsal beserta dengan elemen-elemennya. Dengan menggunakan studi literatur, artikel ini memaparkan sebanyak mungkin sumber untuk memperoleh faktor-faktor pembentukan karakter dalam kitab Amsal. Oleh sebab itu, ditemukan  adanya tiga faktor pembentukan karakter dalam kitab Amsal (beserta elemennya masing-masing) yang saling terkait yaitu: Pertama, Faktor takut akan Tuhan (elemennya adalah observasi pengalaman, kesadaran diri, transformasi karakter dan imitasi); Kedua faktor karakter-konsekuensi (elemennya adalah peran hati nurani, keyakinan, niat, pengambilan keputusan, evaluasi karakter, dan pembiasaan karakter); Ketiga faktor instruksi moral melalui peran keluarga (elemennya adalah imitasi, teguran dan didikan orang tua, evaluasi karakter, dan pembiasaan karakter). The book of Proverbs places a lot of emphasis on the vertical relationship between God and humans, as well as the horizontal relationship between human beings. Not surprisingly, the teachings of wisdom in the book of Proverbs offer an antithesis in one's life between wise and stupid traits that contribute to character building. However, the study of the factors of character formation in the book of Proverbs is still a matter of debate (especially Brown and Bland's interpretation). The purpose of this study is to find a relationship between the factors forming the character in the book of Proverbs, along with its elements. By using a literature study, this article describes as many sources as possible to obtain the factors of character formation in the book of Proverbs. Therefore, it is found that there are three factors of character formation in the book of Proverbs (along with their respective elements) that are interrelated, namely First, the fear of the Lord factor (the elements are experience observation, self-awareness, character transformation and imitation), secondly the character-consequence factor (The elements are the role of conscience, belief, intention, decision-making, character evaluation, and character habituation), the three factors of moral instruction through the role of the family (the elements are imitation, reprimand and upbringing of parents, character evaluation, and character habituation).
Hubungan Umat dan Pemerintah: Studi Hermeneutik terhadap Roma 13:1-7
Authors: Nole Otniel Aurelius
Published: June 2023

Umat dan pemerintah adalah dua figur utama yang berada dalam tatanan kehidupan. Pemerintah berperan penting dan bekerja dengan pengabdian. Kehadiran umat turut membantu pemerintah. Umat memiliki kewajiban untuk menghormati pemerintah, tetapi terkadang terjadi kelalaian untuk mematuhi pemerintah. Di dalam Alkitab, surat Paulus di  Roma 13:1-7 menyatakan tentang keterkaitan antara umat dan pemerintah. Keadaan sosialnya menggambarkan kehadiran umat dan pemerintah. Paulus menegaskan kepentingan untuk umat patuh kepada pemerintah. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menginvestigasi hubungan umat dan pemerintah, serta menemukan relevansinya dalam konteks Indonesia. Tulisan ini ditinjau dengan studi hermeneutik terhadap Roma 13:1-7. Penafsir mengeksplorasi konteks sosio-historis yang berkaitan dengan Roma dan Kekaisaran Romawi. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan studi hermeneutik berdasarkan pendekatan-pendekatan kritis. Hasil yang ditemukan ialah Tuhan yang berdaulat atas umat dan pemerintah. Kemudian, umat dan pemerintah memiliki hubungan mutualisme dan saling bergantung. Keduanya bekerja sama dalam tatanan kehidupan. Pemerintah adalah utusan Allah yang diberi tugas untuk melindungi dan membantu umat.Umat memberi hormat kepada pemerintah sebagai pelayan Allah.The people and the government are the two main figures in the order of life. The government has important roles and works with devotion. The presence of the people helps the government. The people have obligations to respect the government, but sometimes there are neglects to obey the government. In the Bible, Paul's letter Romans 13:1-7 states about the relationship between people and government. The social situation describes the presence of the people and the government. Paul emphasized the importance for the people to obey the government. This paper aims to investigate the relationship between the people and the government, and find their relevance in the Indonesian context. This paper is reviewed with a hermeneutic study of Romans 13:1-7. The author explores the socio-historical context relating to Rome and the Roman Empire. The research method used is qualitative with a hermeneutic study based on critical approaches. The result found is that God is sovereign over the people and the government. Then, the people and the government have a relationship of mutualism and interdependence. Both work together in the order of life. The government is God's messenger who is given the task of protecting and helping the people. The people pay respect to the government as God's servants.

The coastal dune is an ecosystem that is located between the marine and continental environments. It becomes a highly vulnerable environment due to various human activities. This research analyzed the surroundings of the local dune system with the objective of understanding the environmental consequences caused by human and tourism actions. On-site visits, literature review, as well as surveys were conducted among the local population (184) and tourists (27). The direct causes include various commercial, residential, and tourism-related activities in Puerto Cayo. The increase in sun and beach tourism without proper planning will continue to contribute to the accelerated loss of biodiversity and coastal lands. Tourism is a significant source of income for many residents. The study identified the main problems caused by human activities on the coastal environment and proposed conservation measures for the coastal dune.

Salah satu komoditas terbesar Indonesia adalah beras. Dimana Perum Bulog berperan penting dalam menyediakan cadangan beras bagi negara untuk menjaga stabilitas nasional Menjelang panen raya, Perum Bulog harus menyusun strategi stok beras yang terencana dengan baik agar tetap tersedia. Karena harga pasar beras yang tinggi akan memicu ekspor beras dari luar negeri, maka harga gabah bisa turun saat petani panen raya akibat ekspor beras dari luar negeri jika pasokan beras Bulog menjadi langka. Ketika permintaan pasar akan beras tidak dapat dipenuhi, biasanya muncul persoalan ini. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk meramalkan produksi beras nasional untuk kepentingan. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah data produksi stok beras nasional yang diperoleh dari bps.id dari tahun 2018 sampai dengan tahun 2021. Dimana uji harga beras kualitas premium untuk AFER sebesar 0,74444% dan RMSE sebesar 8,9422. Peramalan harga beras kualitas sedang nilai error AFER sebesar 0,22927% dan RMSE sebesar 1,732. Dan pengujian beras tidak bermutu diperoleh nilai error AFER sebesar 0,23640 dan RMSE sebesar 09,09439.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate the immediate and short-term mortality rates among patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS) who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methodology: This observational study was conducted at a tertiary care cardiac center in Pakistan. We included consecutive patients diagnosed with STEMI complicated by CS who underwent primary PCI. We analyzed the clinical characteristics, management strategies, and in-hospital as well as short-term follow-up outcomes of the patients.
Results: A total of 200 patients were included in the study, of which 74.5% (149) were male, and the mean age was 57.96 ± 12.52 years. The majority of patients were classified as Killip class III (64.0%, 128), while the remaining were classified as Killip class IV. On arrival, arrhythmias were observed in 37.5% (75) of the patients, 27.5% (55) were in cardiac arrest and 84.5% (169) required intubation. Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) placement was performed in 31.5% (63) of the patients, and temporary pacemakers (TPM) were placed in 18.5% (37). The in-hospital mortality rate was found to be 10.5% (21). During a mean follow-up period of 177 days (141.5-212.5), a cumulative major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) was observed in 48% (96) of the patients, with an all-cause mortality rate of 28% (56). Additionally, re-infarction occurred in 7.5% (15) of the patients, and re-hospitalization due to heart failure was noted in 23.5% (47) of the patients.
Conclusion: Our study revealed an in-hospital mortality rate of 10.5% following primary PCI in patients with CS. At approximately six months after the acute event, nearly half of the patients experienced MACE, with a notable mortality rate of 28%. These findings highlight the critical nature of CS and emphasize the need for further research and interventions to improve outcomes in this high-risk patient population.

Published: June 2023

Beef cattle farming has become a vital sub-sector in the agriculture industry in supplying protein for the populations. The self-sufficiency ratio (SSR) of beef is not encouraging, and the import value is kept increasing for many years. Meanwhile, innovation adoption in beef cattle farming is believed to improve beef production if used correctly. However, inefficient financial management has led to improper farming practices. This study aims to identify the farm financial difference in adopting such innovations. This study involves 233 beef cattle farmers from Johor, Selangor, Kedah and Kelantan using stratified and simple random sampling. It is found that integration and silage show more significant profit changes with more than 60%, while artificial insemination and vaccination show 33% and 42% profit changes, respectively. Hence, regular meetings conducted by the extension agents are essential to ensure that adopting innovation is successful besides good cooperation among all stakeholders, including the farmers, government agencies, farmers' associations and private sectors.

Evaluation of groundwater resources of Girei and environs is necessary in order to develop appropriate water supply scheme to the community. Cases of borehole failures have been on increase in the area due to a lack of knowledge of the aquifer geometry. The study is aimed at delineating the groundwater potential zones of Girei and environs with the objectives of delineating the different aquifer systems, estimating the aquifer characteristics such as transmissivity and hydraulic conductivity using the Dar Zarrouk parameter, determining groundwater flow direction, and identifying the recharged and discharged areas. Geological investigation indicates that the area underlain by Bima sandstone. Thirty profiles of Vertical Electrical Sounding using Schlunberger array method with the aid of ABEM signal averaging system (SAS 1000) was used to determine aquifer types and groundwater potential zones. Correlation between borehole lithological section and geoelectric section within the study area revealed a confineded aquifer type. The aquifer characteristics indicate that the transverse resistance ranged between 29.796 to 238000 ?m2, longitudinal conductance ranged between 0.0148 ?-1 to 9.34 ?-1, hydraulic conductivity values range from 0.0014 to 5.865 m/s with an average value of 0.0355 m/s. Transmissivity values obtained from the various layers range from 237.6 m2/day to 6324 m2/day. Aquifer rating based on transmissivity values reveals that the aquifers in the study area have moderate to high potential.
