Published: October 2024

Evaluation of quality of aquatic medium and the growth of fish stock unveil the level of well-being of any fisheries. This study investigated the current physico-chemical water parameters, length-weight relationship and condition factor of fish species inhabiting Thomas reservoir. Five physico-chemical parameters namely; Temperature, Dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, Electrical conductivity (EC) and Total Dissolved solids (TDS) of the reservoir’s surface water were tested in situ on monthly basis for 12 months at three stations using digital meters. Fish samples were also collected on monthly basis from catches of the local fishermen at two landing sites of the water body. Body weight of each sampled fish was measured in situ in grams and also total length in centimeter. Length-weight relationships (LWRs) analysis was conducted using the least square regression equation and the condition factor (K) was calculated. Analysis of the water parameters’ data indicated significant differences (p≤0.05) among monthly water parameters with clear indication of influence of changes in seasons. Nevertheless the result indicated the parameters falls within tolerable range fit for the well-being of freshwater fish. Ten fish species were identified from the Reservoir. All the species exhibited negative allometric growth pattern except Sarotherodon galillaus with positive allometry (b=5.6) in the wet season. All the species during dry and wet seasons exhibited K values above ‘1’ except for Lates niloticus and Protopterus annectens. It is recommended that more ecological and biodiversity studies be conducted for detail information needed for efficient fisheries management of the reservoir.

Authors: Nebyou Moje  , Birtukan Abebaw
Published: October 2024

Mastitis is a widely distributed disease of dairy cattle in most countries, including Ethiopia. The most commonly recovered bacterial pathogen during mastitis is Staphylococcus aureus in dairy cows worldwide.With this, a cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2021 to August 2021 on dairy farms in and around Hawassa town to isolate and identify Staphylococcus aureusfrom bovine mastitis milk and to determinerisk factors associated with the occurrence of mastitis. A total of 250 lactating cows wererandomly selected for clinical and subclinical mastitis from 29 small holder dairy farms.Clinical signs and the California Mastitis Test (CMT) were used to identify clinical andsubclinical mastitis, respectively. Accordingly, a standard bacteriological study targetingS. aureus was conducted with all (n=127) milk samples collected from clinical andsubclinical mastitis cows. Data generated from these methods were analyzed usingSTATACorp. Version 12. Association between the risk factors and mastitis weredetermined with p<0.05 to be a statistically significant one. During the study period,50.8% of cows had mastitis, of which 4.8% and 46% showed clinical and subclinicalmastitis, respectively. The quarter-level proportion was 27.4%; of which the clinical formwas 2.9%, while the subclinical mastitis was 24.5%. Logistic regression analysis showed asignificant association among cows of different age groups, lactation stages, andfrequency of farm cleaning status per day with the occurrence of mastitis (p < 0.05).Bacterial identification targetingS. aureuswas done, and this agent was identified in 60(47.2%) milk samples. This pathogen was found to be higher (47.8%) in subclinical thanin clinical (41.6%) mastitis. In conclusion, this study showed that mastitis was prevalent indairy cattle of the study area, with a higher case of S. aureus in subclinical mastitis.However, the detection of S. aureus in nearly half of the milk sample collected frommastitic cows indicated the possible presence of other pathogens. Therefore, further studyto recoverother potential pathogens commonly causing mastitis can be a good approach.
Economic loss to chickens’ farmers caused by invasive Indian house crow (Corvus splendens) predation in Dodoma, Tanzania
Authors: Ngongolo Kelvin , Mrimi Doreen
Published: October 2024

Corvus splendens, also known as the Indian house crow (IHC), is an invasive bird species introduced to Zanzibar from India. It has  become widespread throughout the Tanzania regions, particularly in Dodoma Urban. However, there has been limited research on the  broader effects of predation on chickens.In Dodoma, Tanzania, Indian house crows (Corvus splendens) are known to prey on chicks,  causing significant financial hardship for poultry owners. This study aimed to investigate the monetary losses incurred due to crow  predation across various chicken age groups and seasonal variations. A semi-structured qualitative questionnaire survey was conducted  to gather information from 403 farmers in the wards of Makulu, Makole, and Ndachi, with Makulu and Makole identified as the urban and  peri-urban areas of the wards, respectively. The collected data were then analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis statistical tests and a  Generalized Linear Model.Farmers reported higher predation rates by Indian house crows on chicks and eggs compared to other age  groups of chickens. Chicks and eggs were found to be more vulnerable and less capable of defending themselves against predation,  resulting in a substantial economic loss of 27,739.64 Tsh (1.21 USD) per farmer per year. Economic losses were further analyzed across  different seasons, revealing the months of April to August experienced the highest predation rates per year per farmer compared to  other seasons (P<0.005). In conclusion, highlighting potential ramifications for poultry management and conservation efforts in Dodoma  and analogous regions would offer readers crucial insights. This study emphasizes the adverse effects of Indian house crow predation on chicken populations, resulting in substantial economic losses for poultry farmers in Dodoma. An in-depth understanding of crow  predation dynamics can inform the formulation of strategies to safeguard poultry and mitigate economic losses in the region.
Federal Supreme Court Cassation Decisions on Child Rights in Light of the CRC and Ethiopian Laws
Authors: Abreha Mesele Zinabu
Published: October 2024

Even though Ethiopia acceded to the Convention on the Rights of the Child (the CRC) about eight months after it entered into force, the Federal Supreme Court (FSC) Cassations Bench took a long time to cite provisions from the CRC in its decisions. The Supreme Court has recently started citing provisions from the CRC to substantiate its binding interpretation and decisions. In its cassation division, the Ethiopian Supreme Court is mandated to render binding interpretation of legal provisions as stipulated under Article 10(2) of the Federal Courts Proclamation No. 1234/2013.  So far, the Federal Supreme Court has published 25 volumes on different subject matters including family, criminal, civil, labour, and tort cases. This article explores the influence of CRC provisions in interpreting children’s rights before the Supreme Court’s cassation division. Moreover, this article assesses the attention given to CRC’s provisions in the Supreme Court’s binding interpretation process and decisions. The article also notes the significance of binding interpretations of child rights in light of their contribution to the development of the scope of legal protection bestowed toward children's rights domestically.

Rabies is a fatal viral zoonosis of serious public health concern worldwide that occurs in over 150 countries. In Nigeria, the disease is  endemic and remains neglected, misdiagnosed and underreported. The level of public awareness perceptions and attitudes towards the  disease are important factors in planning for effective control strategies. The aim of the study is to assess dog owners’ Knowledge,  Attitudes and Practices (KAP) towards rabies in Sabon Gari Local Government Area (LGA), Kaduna state. Structured questionnaire was  prepared and administered between December 2022 and March 2023 to 400 dog owners to assess their KAP towards rabies. The survey  gathered data on demographic characteristics of the dog owners and KAP of dog owners towards rabies. Associations between  demographic variables and the scores related to KAP were analyzed using Chi square (χ2). Majority (94.6%) of the dog owners have heard  about rabies; however, 54% were ignorant of the fact that rabies spread through the saliva of a rabid dog. Only 47.8% knew that  rabies has no cure. Most respondents (67.8%) did not know that at 3 months of age all dogs should receive their first dose of anti-rabies  vaccination. There was a statistically significant association (P= 0.00) between educational level and occupation of respondents with the  categorized knowledge score. Dog owners had acceptable knowledge of rabies (68.9%) and a positive attitude (77.5%). They, however, lack comprehensive understanding of the disease. Unsatisfactory practices from the dog owners (51.2%) were also identified. Dog  owners should be given more enlightenment on the importance of rabies vaccination for dogs and the potential risks associated with  rabies transmission.

This study involved 300 patients, comprising 113 females and 187 males, from six X-ray units. The study focused on evaluating the patient dose for common X-ray examinations at selected hospitals in Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar, Tanzania. The achieved results were compared with previous studies and Diagnostic Reference Levels (DRLs). Entrance surface air kerma (ESAK) was calculated for chest posteroanterior (PA), cervical spine anteroposterior/lateral (AP/Lat), abdomen anteroposterior (AP), and lumbar spine anteroposterior/lateral (AP/LAT) examinations. The study results revealed the following average ESAK values: chest posteroanterior (PA), 0.34 mGy; abdomen anteroposterior (AP), 1.92 mGy; lumbar spine anteroposterior (AP), 2.78 mGy; and lumbar spine lateral (Lat), 11.8 mGy. When these results were compared to previous published results, there was only a slight deviation among calculated ESAK. A serious deviation was found in chest examinations. The results from this study highlight the importance of optimizing and justifying procedures, as well as the establishment of National Diagnostic Reference Levels (DRLs). The values described in this study could further contribute to the development of local, regional, and international DRLs

The Occurrence and Variations of Total Aflatoxins and Aflatoxin B1 in Different Types of Chicken Feeds Marketed in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Authors: Muja Mambaga S. , Mtei Regina P. , Kilulya Kessy F.
Published: October 2024

This paper reports on the occurrence and variation of total aflatoxins (TAF) and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in different types of chicken feeds collected from various locations in Dar es Salaam. A total of 63 chicken feed samples based on cotton seed hulls, sunflower seed hulls, maize bran and mixed feeds were analysed using HPLC-FLD. It was revealed that all samples were contaminated with both TAF and AFB1, varying significantly with respect to their types. Specifically, 52.9% of the cotton seed hulls and 64.7% of maize bran samples exceeded the set tolerable limit of 5 ng g−1 for AFB1. All sunflower seed hull samples were contaminated, showing varying mean concentrations of TAF across the sites: Manzese (150.48 ng g−1), Mbagala (56.20 ng g−1), Bunju (49.08 ng g−1) and Kigamboni (33.83 ng g−1). Remarkably, all chicken feed samples from the poultry farms were contaminated with levels beyond the recommended international maximum tolerable limit of 20 ng g−1 of TAF for feeds with levels decreasing from Farm C (77.71 ng g−1), Farm A (48.19 ng g−1), Farm E (38.95 ng g−1) and Farm F (24.48 ng g−1). These findings call for urgent stringent quality control measures to mitigate aflatoxin contamination in chicken feeds, thereby safeguarding animal health and preventing potential health risks to humans.

Authors: Samiji Margaret E , Mlyuka Nuru R
Published: October 2024

Clean cooking energy is a global priority, especially in developing countries where firewood and charcoal remain the primary cooking fuels. Solar cooking is an attractive alternative in these countries since it is eco-friendly and utilises freely available solar radiation. Utilisation of solar cookers however is still very low mainly due to the perceived complexity and lack of confidence in the available solar cooker models. In this work, the enhanced box and parabolic solar cookers were designed, fabricated and tested taking into consideration standard solar cookers and local cooking requirements. The enhanced box solar cooker was designed with booster mirrors making an effective aperture area of 0.68 m2, a double glass glazing and a glass wool insulator between the double walls of the cooking box. The parabolic cooker was designed with polished aluminium paraboloid with a net aperture area of 1.44 m2, a parabola depth of 0.47 m and manual solar tracking. In field tests in Isimani Tanzania, the enhanced solar cooker attained a maximum temperature and cooking power of 129.8 °C and 101.9 W, respectively, and was able to boil 2 litres of water in 100 minutes. The parabolic cooker on the other hand registered a maximum cooking power of 513 W at solar noon and was able to boil 2 and 5 litres of water in reasonable times of 30 and 60 minutes, respectively.

Authors: Mavoa Blandina A. , Kassuwi Shaaban A. A. , Hussein Juma M.
Published: October 2024

Marine fungi are an underrated reservoir of bioactive metabolites for drug discovery. This study focused on fungi isolated from Kunduchi mangrove sediments in Tanzania. In an attempt to investigate the antibacterial activities of marine fungi and uncover their bioactive compounds, ethyl acetate crude extracts of fungal isolates were screened for antibacterial activity against human pathogens (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli) followed by compounds identification by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). A total of seven fungal isolates were obtained from sediments. Crude extracts from isolate 1 and isolate 2 exhibited significant antibacterial activities with a Minimum Inhibitory Concentration ˃ 3.13 mg/ml against S. aureus and MIC ˃ 0.78 mg/ml for both B. subtilis and E. coli. Furthermore, crude extract analysis by GC/MS detected a substantial amount of griseofulvin from the extracts of both isolates 1 and 2. Using nuclear Large Subunit and Internal Transcribes Spacer molecular markers, griseofulvin-producing fungi were identified as Penicillium aethiopicum and Aspergillus sydowii. Significantly, this marks the first documented instance of griseofulvin production by A. sydowii from the marine environment worldwide. Our research has not only identified a new alternative source of griseofulvin from A. sydowii but also underscores the importance of optimizing culture conditions to enhance the production of bioactive metabolites by the identified mangrove-derived fungi. Future studies may prioritize on optimization of culture conditions as it could have significant implications for the pharmaceutical industry and the development of novel antibacterial agents.

Victims of Modernity. The Image of Capitalist Modernisation in Jaroslav Rudiš’s Fiction
Authors: Zygmunt Adam
Published: October 2024

In this article, the author analyses the novel The National Valley (2016) by the contemporary Czech writer Jaroslav Rudiš. The main argument of the analysis focuses on the concept of modernity and modern subjectivity as outlined by the American philosopher, Marshall Berman, who in his book All That Is Solid Melts into Air (1988) describes modernity as a process of constant changes in reality. The author of the article interprets the Czech capitalist system after 1989 as a process of modernisation that forces certain elements of reality to disappear. Using the tools of semiotics provided by Yuri Lotman (1984), he analyses the structure of space in the novel, whilst also focusing on the issues of masculinity, family relations and subjectivity in capitalist modernity. The protagonist of the novel, shaping his identity in opposition to the current model of modernity, has only limited possibilities of achieving subjectivity. The values he considers important do not fit into the realities of modernity, which means that the protagonist, as well as the milieu he inhabits, is doomed to marginalisation.

Authors:   Korea Institute of Design Research Society, Min Keun Sik , Nah Ken
Published: October 2024

This study explores the potential and strategies of the 'designer-maker' model as a new career path for product designers. In the current design industry, where the service-oriented structure shows limitations in designers' creativity and economic independence, this research proposes an alternative model in which designers lead the entire process from product planning to sales and export. The research methods utilized include literature review, analysis of successful cases (Dyson, GARIZ, Lexon), and field observations. In particular, the study focused on the early startup stages of each case to derive practical insights. The research results confirmed that the designer-maker model provides advantages such as self-realization, expanded autonomy, and increased social influence, in addition to economic benefits. For successful transition, factors such as mindset change, choosing an appropriate time for entrepreneurship, and differentiated value propositions were identified as important elements. This study is significant in that it presents a new career option for product designers and explores the possibility of a paradigm shift in the design industry.

Authors:   Korea Institute of Design Research Society, Kim Eun Hee , Lee Gi Ppeum , Lee Ji Hyun
Published: October 2024

App reviews provide valuable insights into user opinions and are increasingly used to enhance products and services. However, junior UX designers and students often struggle with the lack of clear criteria for analyzing extensive review data. This study aims to develop an educational toolkit to assist these individuals in effectively analyzing app reviews. Through interviews with UX experts, we identified practical insights and established 9 criteria for app review analysis. The toolkit offers a 'Basic analysis' method to identify common service-related problems and a 'Core analysis' approach to prioritize solutions based on key issues. To validate the toolkit's effectiveness, two workshops with eight UX design students and evaluations from four experts were conducted. The findings demonstrate that the toolkit facilitates a better understanding of app review analysis criteria and supports a systematic analysis process. This toolkit is expected to be a valuable resource for junior UX designers and students with limited practical experience.

Authors:   Korea Institute of Design Research Society, Bu Kyunghee , Kim Sang-Yeon
Published: October 2024

This study examined the extent to which culture and familiarity with a shopping situation moderate the impact of a salesperson’s smile intensity on consumer decisions. Koreans, Indonesians, and Filipinos and Malaysians were recruited to represent low, mid, and high power distances, respectively. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two scenarios which asked to imagine shopping for a cosmetic product and being approached by a salesperson who either had a full smile and proactive service or had a limited smile and passively promoted sales. As predicted, the intentions to stay at the shop, purchase recommended items, and pay extra money for shopping were higher among the Korean participants when imagining a salesperson with a full smile. The Indonesians, in contrast, were more willing to pay extra money for shopping when approached by a salesperson with a limited smile. Implications for cross-cultural scholars and marketing practitioners are also discussed.

Neighborhood Association dues are financial income collected every month from residents which are collected from the beginning of the month until usually the 20th of each month. The money from the Neighborhood Association contributions is used for security guard honorariums, donations from sick residents, and other activities. Some of the obstacles faced by fee collection officers are: Difficulty meeting with residents, residents making promises but not keeping payments and neighborhood association fees not being collected on time. To overcome this, we apply a transfer method for the contribution payment process. An account is created from BCA bank in the names of the RT Head and Treasurer. For the transfer process so that there are no additional costs, we socialize the Flip application as a transfer medium. After carrying out socialization, workshops and trial running, good results were obtained, namely the time for collecting contributions was shorter

Continuous Professional Development includes three things, namely self-development, scientific publications, and innovative work. The problems that occur in partners are still a lack of understanding of mathematics teachers about making scientific articles and still a lack of understanding about the stages of publication of scientific articles in journals through OJS. To facilitate scientific publications of mathematics teachers, Tidar University organizes assistance in writing scientific articles and scientific publications as a means of teacher self-development, especially teachers who are members of the mathematics MGMP of SMP Temanggung Regency.
The methods used are socialization (discussion and question and answer), assistance in article preparation, practical exercises in using the open journal system (OJS), and evaluation. At the end of the activity, a survey will be conducted to check the understanding of partners after the activity.
The implementation of this Community Partnership Program activity was carried out as many as 2 meetings in the Hall of SMP Negeri 2 Temanggung offline and online using gmeet. Service activities include training, mentoring, and socialization of manuscript submissions to destination journals. The result of the service activities is that junior high school mathematics teachers throughout Temanggung Regency get a good understanding in writing scientific articles and publishing articles in the field of mathematics education

Opak is a type of crunchy and dry food like crackers which is very popular among people because of its taste and economic value for the community. The increasing amount of production will have a major impact on air conditions in the work environment because production activities produce smoke that comes from traditional processing processes using wood and coconut fiber as heat sources. The climate of the work environment greatly influences human body temperature and results in workload. Physical activity in a hot work environment also has an effect on reducing the achievement of the activities carried out and increasing the risk of disease, dehydration and hyperthermia. This activity aims to convey knowledge to business actors and workers regarding air conditions in the work environment as well as safe working time limits at work. The method used is a survey and outreach method. This activity results in increased knowledge of business actors and workers regarding air conditions in the work environment and creates a good work environment
