Authors: Mtango Joel , Sumuni Catholic 
Published: December 2023

This study aimed to assess client-related factors for delaying of Public buildings construction projects in Local Government Authorities. The factors assessed were; project design, political intervention and decision-making challenges. The study was conducted at Arusha City Council (ACC) employing cross-sectional survey through semi-structured questionnaire and interview guide to 55 sampled informants. . Cross tabulation with Chi-square tests was deployed to analyse data. Following the findings of the assessment of client-related factors for delaying of public buildings construction projects in Arusha City Council, it is concluded that inadequate project design is one of the major causes of delays of public buildings construction projects in local government authorities. More specifically, variations due to inadequate design, the effect of insufficient budget resulting from inadequate project design and insufficient professional staff are the main causes of delays in public buildings constructions project. It is also apparent that political intervention is another major factor that contributes to delaying public building construction in Arusha City council (ACC). It is also concluded that decision making challenges is another major contributor to delaying public building construction projects in ACC. More specifically, it is concluded that bureaucracy in the decisions making process, unnecessary directives by government officials and delays in the payment of interim certificates are the main causes of delaying public buildings constructions projects in ACC. It is recommended that the government should employ an adequate number of building construction engineers, quality assurance officers, as well as project monitoring and evaluations officers who are expected to be tasked to ensure that projects are designed adequately, and their execution are managed and monitored effectively. Also, the government should avail adequate budget for all public building construction works and should pay interim certificates timely to avoid delaying the projects. In addition, the government should formulate and institute a general guideline that obstructs politician and government officers to be bid for public building construction works in their respective councils. This measure is expected to prevent conflict of interest among politicians and government officers.

Internet Service in Tanzania is provided by different vendors, both public and private. These providers are known as Internet Service Providers (ISPs). This paper examines ISPs as provided by The Electronic and Postal Communications Act, 2010, The Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority Act, 2003 and The Cybercrimes Act, 2015. The focus is on the nature of liability, extent of liability, and legal basis for such liability. Upon comparison of the nature of liability in Tanzania with selected jurisdictions, The study found that, unlike in the United Kingdom (UK), the United States (US) and India, where the nature of liability is mainly civil, in Tanzania liability of ISPs leanest more towards criminal as opposed to civil liability.

Published: December 2023

Background and objectives: Library has entered a new phase in midst of a society currently in the digital native era. However, instead of being prepared for the transformation, the library is faced with a never-ending dilemma. Therefore, it’s important to know the extent to which the public requires this transformation. This can be seen through the discourses that appear on social media.
Methods: The method used is Teun A. van Dijk's Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) which analyzes text, social cognition and social context. Data was collected from the Brand24 website using library as keyword and the final data found comprises 6 texts from social media twitter, 61 texts from news, 7 texts from blogs and 8 texts from websites.
Results: Discourse on social media has shifted to no longer talk about conventional libraries which are only limited to narrow spaces reserved for bookworms. Discourses that appear on social media about libraries have undergone a transformation which is seen as a public space that has very broad and unlimited functions.
Conclusions: Based on the review and analysis of the data, it was concluded that the current public discourse has shifted towards no longer comparing libraries with more modern public spaces, but instead focuses on how libraries can transform to accommodate the needs of society in this era of digital natives.
Mixed Statistical Estimation in Constrained Principal Component Model
Authors: Aldosari Mubarak Saad , Abdelmegaly Alaa Ahmed 
Published: December 2023

There was found a serious problem in the statistical estimation if we don't reject a false hypothesis because of ignoring prior information about the estimator, constrained principal component model (CPCM) considered to be a general model for many constrained estimator, but this model do not important with the additional information about the error term that found in the restriction model. This paper seeks to find another face for the constrained principal component model that important with the variance of the error term that found in the restriction model and have a value dispute zero. This paper aims to introduce a generalized ordinary mixed estimator (GOME) using the CPCM which introduced by (Takane, 2014) and we try to find some special cases for this estimator which introduced earlier. The new estimator is more benefit for researchers in making decisions and depending on results that have more credible. We try to get the subset models and their constrained from the constrained principal component model; a model and a constrained model each of them have a variance term that have value despite zero, we also try to make a mixed estimator for each model and combined them to get the GOME and try to find the superiority of the new estimator.
Effect of Processed Rumen Digesta with Probiotics on Eggs Quality Characteristics of Khaki Campbell Ducks (Anas Platyrhynchos Domesticus)
Authors: Restiadi Tjuk Imam 
Published: December 2023

Khaki Campbell is a duck with a dual purpose, as a producer of meat and egg, although its role as laying is more prominent. The aim of the present study is to examine feed ingredients for ducks (poultry) originating from abattoir waste that does not compete with humans. Feed is the largest component that affects poultry production since feed expenses occupy at least 60 - 70% of the production cost. The examined feed ingredient was the rumen digesta of the cow that was collected from the slaughterhouse and it is recommended to participate at 10 - 15% in rations, so as not to cause adverse side effects. The method of addition of probiotics to the feed of processed cow rumen serves to improve the growth rate, feed conversion efficiency, egg production, and livestock health. Measurements in the form of the amount of raw feed balance with processed rumen digesta substitution feed on the productivity of duck eggs. The conclusion of this study that the partial replacement of processed rumen content feeds up to 15% in Khaki Campbell ducks, did not give a noticeable difference (p>0.05) on egg weight, egg shape index, egg white index, yolk index, Haugh Unit, and egg yolk color. The main finding is that processed beef rumen content at the level of 10-15% can be used as a diet ingredient for ducks without affecting egg quality characteristics.

Published: December 2023

This paper explores the impact of resources on teaching and learning of English Language of learners with visual impairment at ‘O’ Level in an inclusive set-up. It identifies various strategies necessary to improve the performance of learners with visual impairment in English Language. A qualitative approach was adopted. Fifteen learners and four teachers were purposively selected for the study. Thematic data analysis was used. The findings revealed that there is a shortage of teaching and learning resources from Musimeki High schools which include Braille books, Braille computers, tape recorders, audiobooks and DVDs. Supplementary reading materials in Braille, such as novels, magazines and newspapers are also not available. Inclusivity has an advantage in that sighted learners read for the VI on printed books since there are no Braille books and on computers, since schools do not have computers with jaws software. The sighted also assisted during group work tasks since they have access to supplementary reading materials. The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education is recommended to liaise with press organisations to put information in newspapers and magazines in brailed. Press organisations are recommended to employ VI school leavers without jobs to do braille work.

Published: December 2023

The goal of this qualitative study is to investigate Namibian users’ language practices in social discourses on Namibian social media platforms. A hybrid linguistic environment is created when users using multiple languages online. However, there appear to be no studies that look at the language practices of users on Namibian social platforms online. The sample consisted of Facebook comments from users in responses to articles on the Fishrot case published in 2019. The first five posts published in each of the selected Namibian media were chosen, and comments in which users directly responded to each other's were studied using internet ethnography, which tracks discourses across multiple online user comments. Discourse analysis was used as a method to analyse the data. Other sources on languages and multilingualism in Namibia were also used to inform the data. The data was organised under emerging themes that were informed by the central ideas in metrolingualism theory. According to the study, the language of socialization in Namibia remains primarily English; multilingualism is reflected in social online discussion but is limited to a few majority indigenous languages, Oshiwambo and Afrikaans.
