Practices for no-tillage in an improved cerrado area: Emergence, survival and initial growth of forest species
Authors: Gianluppi Daniel , Smiderle Oscar José , Souza Aline das Graças , Maia Sonicley da Silva
Published: September 2023

Considering that research on survival and growth of forest species via no-tillage in the improved cerrado of Roraima is still scarce, this research adds information to this technique with six forest species regarding emergence, survival and increase in height and diameter of plants over 18 months. In view of the above, the objective was to indicate procedures for direct sowing of tree forest species (pau-rainha, maçaranduba, freijó, jatobá, itaúba and African mahogany) in a cerrado area of Roraima, with the use of shrubby legumes, as a way to dispense with the formation and management of seedlings in nursery and allow the establishment of forest plantations with reduced costs. Thus, in the experimental area each species, maçaranduba, freijó, jatobá, itaúba, pau-rainha and African mahogany in July 2021 were sown every 50 cm apart, in the row and distributed two seeds at a depth of up to 1 cm according to the size of the seed. The experiment occupied a total area of 4,500 m2 and a useful area with seeds sown of 3,456 m2, totaling 648 seeds per species. The percentage of emergence was evaluated at 120 days after sowing, and seedling survival after 6, 12 and 18 months. In addition, the increments in height and diameter were evaluated from 6 to 12 months and from 12 to 18 months. Of the six forest species studied, 2% (pau-rainha), 6% (African mahogany) and 53% (jatobá) of seedling emergence presented with 2% (pau-reira), with survival >80% after 18 months. In the same period, African mahogany and queen's wood had a survival rate of 50%. Direct sowing in the improved cerrado from Roraima to Jatobá is recommended. The procedure used to promote the increase in stem diameter (ΔDC) of jatobá plants from no-tillage via seeds from six to 18 months is the application of 3.0 t ha-1 of limestone and 1.8 t ha-1 of agricultural gypsum in the cerrado of Roraima, being an appropriate species for the establishment of forest plantations with costs of 1.55 reais per seedling.

Authors: Olanrewaju Samson , Jelili Musibau
Published: September 2023

This paper evaluates the landuse characteristics of automobile workshops in Lagos Metropolis with a view to proffering recommendations that will aid the control of automobile workshops in the study area and similar urban centres in the country. To achieve this, a total survey of the formal workshops in the metropolis was done, while 389 informal workshops located on both sides of purposively selected roads in the metropolis were sampled. Further, a 300-meter radius was delineated around each sampled automobile workshop for landuse characterization.  Percentages, Analysis of variance, and query function of the Geographic Information System were used to investigate the landuse characteristics of the automobile workshops. The study discovered that automobile workshops in Lagos metropolis are located in dense residential areas, though formal automobile workshops tend to locate in denser neigbhourhoods than informal ones. These workshops are situated on an average area of 6636 square meters with about 70% of the land area developed. However, workshops do not comply with spatial planning standards, especially road setbacks. It is therefore recommended that mass awareness and effective development control be put in place by officials of Lagos State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development.

It is imperative for the youth in every democratic country to be involved in the politics related activities as this can have a great impact on the attainment of sustainable development goals like quality education, good health and well-being, decent work and economic growth, peace, justice and strong institutions. The youth mostly constitute majority of the population, due to this, their active involvement is very important.  However, there are certain challenges that prevent the youth from participating effectively. Focusing on Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, the study examines the impact of governmental actions and inactions on the political participation of the Ghanaian youth and how it affects sustainable development. It also examines some challenges that prevent them from participating effectively. A mixed-method approach was employed to collect and analyze data. The study confirms that most of the actions and inactions of government has had a negative impact on the level of political participation of Ghanaians. It also argues that there have been other factors that limit this political participation. It was also noted that sustainable development can be affected positively or negatively by the level of political participation of the youth and then further provides recommendations.

Authors: Asgele Berihu
Published: September 2023

The purpose of the study was to assess the determinant factors of sustainable urban land management in the Tigray and Amhara regions of Ethiopia. A mixed methods approach with a concurrent nested strategy was employed. A total of 353 questionnaires were collected from implementers and users of the urban land management system; FGDs 8 with implementers and interviews with 24 experts, middle, and top managers were conducted. Quantitative data were analyzed and presented using independent sample t-test, logisticand multiple regressions, while qualitative data were analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. The result indicated that urban land management remains using outdated and traditional systems. People in the Amhara region were more cooperative in the urban land management system than those in Tigray. Nonetheless, the magnitude of the differences in the means (mean difference = -0.36, 95% CI: -0.63 to -0.09) was very small (eta squared = -.029). The main factors of urban land management are lack of commitment, lack of humanresources, political influence, maladministration and instability of rules. These factors are hampering the effective management of urban land in both regions. Hence, people are not satisfied with the service of urban land management. Thus, the regional governments need to reconsider the policy, employ an automated system, and work against the identified factors.

This study is aimed at assessing effect of watershed management program on livelihood of households of selected sub watersheds in Humbo District. To carry out the study objectives, from econometrics models instrumental variable (IV) method was applied from among different impact evaluation methods with the sample size of 330 households. The results of econometric estimation revealed that household age, education, adoption, consumption expenditure, material possession, extension contact, productivity of crops, upstream and downstream and employment were positively and significantly related with HHDI at 1%, 5% and 10% level of significance. To examine the validity of instrumental variables estimation, different diagnosis tests like normality tests of the model, endogeneity test, tests of weak instruments, tests of over identifying restriction, multicollinearity and heteroskedasticity were employed. After identification and testing of IV result, the 2SLS estimation was conducted for evaluating Impact. Accordingly, adoption of watershed program has positive and significant impact (31%) on HHDI of the sample households in the study area. Therefore, the result indicate that with adoption of watershed management program, household on livelihoods can improve.
Optimizing Tax potential in Ethiopia
Authors: Kitessa Rahel Jigi
Published: September 2023

In designing a tax policy, governments often face when and how to mobilize revenues. Crucial to those questions include, are we already collecting more revenue than the economy can produce or not? The current study has precisely addressed this question in the case of Ethiopia. Tax effort prediction is made via an error correction model. The finding shows that tax effort, theoretically measured as the difference between tax revenue collected and tax potential is extremely low in the country. This problem becomes more complicated when GDP shows as a rather inverse predictor of tax potential, indicating massive work of tax base identification to enable tax ratio moves with the speed of GDP growth.

Published: September 2023

Effective delivery of services is one of the most direct ways to promote the economic growth of a country. However, public services are characterized poorly. The main objective of this study was to assess factors affecting service delivery quality in public service institutions in Addis Ababa. Questionnaires, interviews, and focused group discussions were used to collect data. The data was collected from 320 respondents. The study employed both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The SPSS statistics was used for both the descriptive and inferential analysis. The findings indicate that the quantitative mean values show acceptable results. Work environment, technology and training are the significant factors. However, lack of good leadership, inconsistent type of training with practical jobs, weak in organizational culture, lack of conducive environment in experience sharing, lack of well incentive systems which hinder the motivation of employees and lack of applying modern technology are pinpointed as limitations. Therefore, concerned bodies ahould take corrective measures.

Authors: Akemachew Abay , Gidey Kidanemariam
Published: September 2023

This study aimed at assessing opportunities available and challenges faced by students with disabilities (SWDs) in public universities in Addis Ababa. To address the objectives of the study, mixed research approach combining both quantitative and qualitative techniques was used. The data was collected through questionnaires, semi-structured interview, focus group discussions (FGDs) and observation. The quantitative data were analysed through descriptive and inferential statistical techniques while the qualitative data was analysed by using the thematic analysis technique. The findings of this study have indicated that availability of reasonable accommodation services, recognition for best scorers, training & induction programs, establishment of special computer centres, provision of educational materials and assistive devices are the opportunities that SWDs have in each respective university. Conversely, inaccessible infrastructures, absence and/or competency problem of sign language interpreters, weak disability affairs offices, unavailability of effective guidance and counselling service, lack of different entertainment means, difficulty of getting personal assistants and different means of communication on academic/non-academic matters are identified as hindrances to their success. The finding of the study also reveals that most lecturers have negative attitudes toward SWDs. The regression result confirms that accessibility of infrastructures, high school GPA, monthly expenditure of students, occupation of parents, disability type and mother’s education are significantly affecting the academic performance of students with disabilities. Therefore, the public universities & other stakeholders should prepare manual and guidelines that show step-by-step processes that need to be taken to address issues of SWDs. Awareness creation schemes need to be carried out to change the negative attitudes and mainstream the issues of SWDs in all endeavours of the respective universities.

Authors: Daniel Sonan
Published: September 2023

Concentrating on the rehabilitation of inmates throughout the world has demonstrated positive results in breaking the cycle of recidivism. Objective; this study aimed to evaluate the rehabilitation practices of the Center for Children in Contact with Crime and Kality correctional institutions and their implications for recidivism prevention. Self- administered questionnaires were utilized to collect quantitative data from 360 convicts. In-depth interviews were conducted with 4 social workers and psychologists. To evaluate the numerical data, descriptive-analytical approaches were applied. The results were presented using graphs, pie charts, and tables, while the qualitative results were analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. The results show that the studied prison centers have their rehabilitation strategies. This includes involving inmates in unions, one-on-one and group counseling, sport and recreation, and vocational training, however, they are not provided based on the inmates' perceived requirements. It may be concluded that rehabilitation procedures in each detention institution are in their early stages. Despite the best efforts of the prison facilities, the study results demonstrate that adopting prisoner rehabilitation as a crime prevention approach still has a long way to go
Practices and Challenges of Banking Services Inclusiveness to Persons with Special Needs in Selected Banks in Addis Ababa: Implications for Customer Satisfaction
Authors: Adela Manaye
Published: September 2023

In a country’s development, service sections play key roles. Services are expected to address diversity in interest, demographics, and exceptionalities such as persons with disabilities (PWDs). The main purpose of this study was to assess practices and challenges of banking services to persons with special needs (PWDs) in selected branches of banks in Addis Ababa. Different sources indicate that globally there are more than 15 million people who live with impairment. This segment of the population should be integrated and inclusive work is needed in the financial sectors, especially in Banking. The population of this study includes bank workers in different departments and customers with certain disabilities. Simple random sampling was used for recruiting 364 participants for the study. The research design was a concurrent triangulation mixed design. The Likert scale was constructed, validated, and used to gather quantitative data. The qualitative data was gathered by using semi-structured interviews. SPSS 25 was used for analyzing quantitative data (Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient, One ANOVA, and Multiple Linear Regression were done). Thematic analysis was used for analyzing qualitative data. The finding revealed that the banking systems have gaps in addressing service provision for persons with special needs. Though there are efforts in making the physical environment modification such as using ramps, there are needs that are not yet addressed. Bank customers interviewed have indicated that the services did not yet meet customer satisfaction of PWDs. As per the findings, it is recommended that banks should create service packages for PWDs. Infrastructures and facilities should meet all utility aspects for people with special needs.

AN OVERVIEW OF THE RIVER ECOLOGICAL DIVERSITY, STRUCTURAL-FUNCTIONAL CHANGES, AND POLLUTION ASSESSMENT
Authors: Vaghela Krishnakumar , Shukla Devangee , Jain Nayan
Published: September 2023

The most significant sources of freshwater are rivers, and many different uses are made of their water. Cities near rivers have recently had a significant detrimental impact on the water quality, causing the rivers to get worse every day. This is due to the increased urbanization of these areas. The relationship between biodiversity and ecological functions is currently a major scientific topic that requires understanding and prediction.  Studies conducted on terrestrial ecosystems, for instance, have shown how species-specific traits and functional biodiversity affect key ecosystem structures and functions related to the storage and cycling of organic material. Many changes occur in ecosystem biomass because of polluting contaminants. Others are in the hydrophone structure type, while some are in the biomass summary. Greater biomass densities and a lack of diversity distinguish the contaminated river flow from the surrounding environment. Many different strategies and underlying concepts have been employed in environmental protection initiatives. Assessing the potential of any or all ecosystem components is necessary for identifying hazards. Hazard assessment describes the degree of harm any potentially harmful chemical or action will cause to ecosystem components. The assessment method needs to be extremely specific due to the changing nature of the riverine environment.

Authors: Prajapati Pooja , Patel Chirag , Patel Saumya , Rawal Rakesh , Maitreya Bharat
Published: September 2023

Transcription factors have proven to be promising targets for the treatment of cancer. Transcription factors are involved in the production of oxygen. External cervical events are initiated by receptors, such as cytotoxic exposures or cytokine receptors that trigger signalling cascades that activate transcription factors. Transcriptional factors are known to be highly active in most human cancer cells, making them suitable for the study and development of anticancer therapies. Three transcription factors were investigated as potential targets in this study. Analysis of string interactions reveals their interaction network. DNA-TF binding was followed by docking with 96 natural compounds to the DNA binding pocket of the transcription factor. Using post-docking processing, compounds were ranked according to their binding energy, hydrogen bond number, and dissociation constant; Withanolide D targeted more than one transcription factor. Therefore, the compound is suitable for in vitro testing using different cancer cell lines.

Authors: Awad Eman , Mobark Ali , Khamis Yasser , Hamada Hamada Ahmed , Yousef Amal , Saeed Doaa
Published: September 2023

Aim. Breech presentation complicates 3-4% of all term deliveries. This trial aimed to study the effect of combining spontaneous cephalic version (SCV) techniques with acoustic stimulation on the position of breech fetuses and their subsequent impact on maternal and neonatal outcomes.
Materials and Methods. A randomized controlled trial was conducted involving 60 pregnant women at 32-34 weeks of gestation, all expecting a singleton fetus in complete breech presentation. They were assigned to two equal groups:
Group (A) consisted of intervention participants who performed SCV techniques in conjunction with acoustic stimulation from 34 weeks of gestation, along with routine antenatal care.
Group (B) comprised control participants who continued with their routine prenatal care up to delivery.
Results. The chi-square test indicated a statistically significant increase in the number of vaginal deliveries among participants in Group (A) due to the fetuses turning to a vertex position. Meanwhile, neonates from Group (B) demonstrated a statistically significant higher Apgar score value at the 1st minute of life compared to those in Group (A).
Conclusion. Spontaneous cephalic version techniques combined with acoustic stimulation are effective in repositioning a breech baby into a vertex position, thereby reducing the incidence of cesarean sections and associated morbidities for both mother and neonate.
The difference of the influence of the weight of school supplies on body posture features in carrying on the right or left shoulder by 7-year-old students of both sexes
Authors: Mrozkowiak Mirosław
Published: September 2023

Introduction. Periodically, at the turn of August and September the problem of overloading children with too heavy schoolbags rises and it may initiate various disorders not only around the spine area. Material, method. The research on body posture was carried out in a group of 65 7-year-old students by Projection Moiré in 8 positions. First position – habitual position, second – after 10 min. of asymmetric loading on the left or right shoulder, third – after 1 min. of the load removal, and fourth – after 2 min. of the load removal. Results. There were analyses of significance of the differences between 1st and 2nd, 1st and 3rd, 1st and 4th, 2nd and 3rd, and 3rd and 4th measurement to determine the influence of loading and correlation of the differences with physical activity. It was also measured, which way of carrying disturbs the body posture less. Conclusions. 1. A four-kilograms load of school supplies carried on the left or right shoulder disturbs significantly and negatively biomechanical body statics of a 7-year-old child, which may cause errors in long term perspective and consequently body posture disorders. Relatedly, this way of carrying school supplies is not recommended to first graders. 2. Physical fitness has more significant meaning in biomechanical body statics disorders in frontal plane than in sagittal and transversal plane, relatedly among boys than girls. Endurance and strength show the most common correlations with changes of values of body posture features. In sagittal and transversal plane speed and strength have the greatest meaning but in frontal plane it is endurance and strength. 3. Restitution of none of the analyzed values of body posture features was not complete after 1 and 2 min. when carrying on the left or right shoulder was terminated, which means low overall fitness and immature corrective-compensatory processes.

Published: September 2023

This study aimed to determine: (1) The effectiveness of Tepurak therapy (press, hit, motion) in treating non-specific Low Back Pain (LBP) injuries. (2) The effectiveness of a combined Deep Tissue Massage with stretching (DTMS) in treating non-specific LBP injuries. (3) A comparison of the effectiveness between Tepurak therapy and the combination of Deep Tissue Massage with stretching in treating non-specific LBP injuries.
Recovery indicators included pain level and range of motion (ROM). This pre-experimental research used two distinct sample groups with different treatments. The sample comprised 42 individuals with non-specific LBP injuries, who were randomly divided into two groups of 21. Group A underwent Tepurak therapy (press, hit, motion), while Group B received combined Deep Tissue Massage and stretching (DTMS). Each treatment session lasted 30 minutes.
Pain levels were measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), while ROM was assessed with the modified Schober Test and the Fingertip-to-Floor instruments. The data analysis employed various tests, including the Paired t-test, Wilcoxon, independent t-test, and Mann-Whitney.
The findings revealed that Tepurak therapy reduced pain and significantly enhanced ROM (p < 0.05). Similarly, the Deep Tissue Massage combined with stretching notably diminished pain and improved ROM (p < 0.05). Comparing the pretest and posttest data between Tepurak therapy and the Deep Tissue Massage with stretching on pain and ROM indicators yielded a p-value > 0.05. This suggests that there was no significant difference in the effectiveness of the two therapy types.
Based on this study, it's recommended that either Tepurak therapy or the combination of Deep Tissue Massage with stretching can be employed to treat individuals with non-specific LBP. The choice should depend on the specific situation and conditions, taking into account the pros and cons of each therapy type.

Conclusion. The study concludes that the CGFU-PM515 approach positively impacts student motivation in elementary school physical education lessons.
Acerca de por qué Aristóteles llama a Zenón el inventor de la dialéctica
Authors: Seggiaro Claudia Marisa
Published: September 2023

El Sofista es una obra actualmente perdida de Aristóteles de la que se conservan escasos fragmentos. En tres de ellos, 1a, 1b y 1c, el Estagirita le adjudica a Zenón la invención de la dialéctica, pese a que las estrategias argumentativas que esta técnica supone son rastreables en diversas obras pertenecientes a diversos ámbitos: la literatura, la historia, la filosofía, la medicina, etc., incluso con anterioridad al desarrollo del pensamiento de este último filósofo. Esto nos lleva a preguntarnos sobre el sentido de esta caracterización y cuáles son los motivos por los cuales Aristóteles la realiza. En este trabajo nos proponemos analizar esta cuestión. Para ello, previamente examinaremos los usos de ciertas prácticas, consideradas posteriormente como dialécticas, por pensadores y escritores que antecedieron o fueron contemporáneos a Zenón. Tras hacer eso, nos centraremos en la reconstrucción de los fragmentos 1a-c del Sofista a la luz de otros textos del corpus, como, por ejemplo, Metafísica III 4 y Física VI 9.

Sobre la pasividad en la fenomenología de la situación y la mirada en El ser y la nada
Authors: Morales Guzmán Paulina
Published: September 2023

Jean-Paul Sartre en El ser y la nada plantea una ontología basada en la dualidad fundamental del ser y una nada que, ante todo, se describe como un acto nihilizador. En virtud de una fuerte presencia de dinámicas activas en la ontología sartreana, esta investigación tiene por objetivo identificar el rol de la pasividad en la ontología y en la fenomenología sartreanas, con vistas a resaltar la necesidad de la dimensión pasiva en, al menos, dos fenómenos cruciales en la constitución fáctica del para-sí, a saber, por un lado, la situación del cuerpo-para-sí y, por otro, el aparecer del otro a través de la mirada. Para este objetivo se recurrirá a la ontología merleaupontiana en torno a la pasividad expuesta en Lo visible y lo invisible a modo de guía. Con ello, la hipótesis a sostener es que hay un importante recurso a la pasividad en la fenomenología de la situación del cuerpo-para sí, agudizado con el aparecer del otro, el cual, no obstante, se ausenta en la exposición ontológica.
problema del Ego cartesiano en Martin Heidegger
Authors: Ucha Serrano José Luis
Published: September 2023

En este artículo realizamos una meditación acerca de la subjetividad. La subjetividad a la manera pensada por Descartes fue criticada por Martin Heidegger durante sus primeros años de actividad filosófica, y se encuentra madurada en el tratado de Ser y tiempo. Si nuestra filosofía se presenta como una crítica a la Modernidad, nuestra crítica a la subjetividad moderna tiene que enfrentarse a la filosofía cartesiana. En primer lugar realizaremos una aproximación al problema desde La hermenéutica del sujeto de Foucault. Revisaremos tras ello cómo se fraguó la subjetividad cartesiana y cómo se autolimitó a sí misma. Estudiaremos las aportaciones de Heidegger para criticar a Descartes en sus primeros años. Con su ayuda trataremos de demostrar cómo la subjetividad moderna es un producto artificial que viene motivado por la inquietud del mundo que, precisamente, Descartes pretendía superar con su filosofía. A modo de conclusión y de propuesta introduciremos los planteamientos de Jean Paul Sartre en El ser y la nada en los que la subjetividad es comprendida desde una óptica no moderna, al estar en realidad fundada en el otro.
