Authors: Tufo Bereket , Abdala Abdirazak 
Published: February 2023

The study was conducted in Dawro Zone of Tocha and Essera Woreda and Konta Special Woreda. The objective of the study was to demonstrate, recommend and transfer the best performing bread wheat varieties based on grain yield performance and farmers’ preference. In each kebele, one FTC and twelve farmers (8 male and four female farmers) were involved during ‘’meher’’ season of the year 2016. Training was given for the selected farmers and other stakeholders. Providing full packages of bread wheat technology- variety Ogolicho, Shorima and local were demonstrated in Konta Special Woreda but variety Shorima, Kakaba and Local were demonstrated in Dawro Zone of Tocha and Essera Woreda. Plot size of 10m X 10m was used and seeds were planted at a rate of 100kg/ha in all fields. The recommended rate of DAP (100kg/ha) and UREA (50 kg/ha) were used. The spacing between plots and row was 1m and 30cm by drilling respectively. Field days were organized; farmers evaluated and selected the best performed varieties depending on their criteria's set. The criteria were earliness, tillering capacity, seed size, spike length, resistance to diseases and grain yield. During farmers’ selection process both female and male farmers had been incorporated so as to avoid gender bias. The result showed that variety Ogolicho was the best yielder with grain yield of 39.7 qt/ha and 36 qt/ha at Buba-damota Kebele and Chaka-bocha Kebele respectively followed by the variety Shorima (37.8 qt/ha at Buba Damota and 29 qt/ha at Chaka-bocha) in Konta Special Woreda. In Tocha and Essera Woreda, variety Shorima was with better grain yield performance at Edget kebele of Tocha Woreda (34.5 qt/ha) and Arsi-bale Kebele of Essera Woreda (34.4 qt/ha) respectively. Therefore, based on the farmers’ criteria and grain yield performance, variety Ogolicho selected as first followed by Shorima in Konta Special Woreda, and variety Shorma in Tocha and Essera Woreda, were recommended with its full packages for further pre-scaling.

Agriculture is one of the three most hazardous occupations in terms of safety and health due to,among others, the physical strain and repetitive movements associated with its tasks. This study was conducted to evaluate the exposure to occupational safety and health hazards among farm workers in Ahero irrigation schemes, Kenya. The findings will inform development of mitigation measures to support the government’s goal of attaining food security. A sample of 38 farm workers were randomly selected across the scheme comprising of 7 villages. The data collected was sorted, edited coded and analyzed using SPSS ver. 20 and presented in descriptive statistics. Statistical tests for correlation was carried out using Pearson’s correlation and the results presented using charts and tables. The study established that about 71% of the respondents were aged above 46 years. Most of the workers had attained a primary level education. Biological hazards were found to be more prevalent due to the presence of livestock, blood sucking pests and deficiency of clean drinking water in the farms and poor sanitation. Majority of the farm workers lifted heavy weights with over 40% of the farm workers lifting 86 Kgs and above. There was widespread use of agrochemicals that included organophosphates (31.6%) without adequate protection in a very hot environment. The study concludes that farm workers at Ahero irrigation scheme are exposed to myriads of occupational hazards which can be an impediment to food security and achievements of the government’s vision 2030.

A major activity in the desert areas of Iran to control wind erosion, improving environmental conditionsespecially soil characteristics and increasing carbon sequestration in soil and plants is planting compatible and resistant species, in particularHaloxylon aphyllum. The study area,in the central Iranthat was planted with Ha.aph(in the early 1980s), reflects the environmental and management conditions of more than 800,000 hectares of aridlandsin Iranwell.5 profiles were randomly drilled at the bottom of the Haloxylon sp.shrubs and 5 profiles are in the adjacent control area without any vegetation soil sampling was carried out from 0 to 30 cm depth. Samples were transferred to the laboratory for measurement of electrical conductivity, pH, organic matter, organic carbon, lime, phosphorus, potassium, soil texture, calcium, magnesium, sodium, soil bulk density and the amount of carbon sequestration in the soil. the data from the grown area and the control were compared using independent t-student test to determine the effect of planting Haloxylon sp.on the soil characteristics of the area. The results show that planting Haloxylon sp.has increased the organic matter content of organic carbon, electrical conductivity, acidity, phosphorus and potassium, and decreased calcium carbonate, silt, calcium, magnesium and sodium in soil. Also, the comparison of the data in the control and planting area indicates a slight change in the soil texture with an increase in the percentage of sand and a decrease in the percentage of silt and clay in the planting area. Planting Haloxylon sp.increased the average amount of sequestrated carbon in soil by 28420.2 kg/ha.

Published: February 2023

En menant cette étude sur la mortalité périnatale à l’Hôpital Général de Référence de Kindu, la préoccupation majeure était de répondre à la question suivante : quelles sont les causes de la mortalité périnatale à l’Hôpital Général de Référence de Kindu ? Et entre ces causes y a-t-il une influence entre elles ? Pour y parvenir nous avons recouru à la méthode d’enquête. Celle-ci a été appuyée par les techniques d’entretien structuré et documentaires pour la récolte de données et la technique de Khi2 comme technique de traitement de données. A l’issue de nos analyses, nous sommes arrivés aux résultats selon lesquels sur 1973 naissances survenues à la maternité de l’Hôpital Général de Référence de Kindu, nous avons enregistré 54 cas de décès périnataux dont 49 mort-nés et 5 décès néonatals précoces soit un taux de 27,37% de mortalité périnatale et les causes sont les fœtales ou néonatales et maternelles ou obstétricales respectivement de l’ordre de 25 et 29 durant la période sous examen, ainsi donc entre ces deux variables il s’observe que Khi2 calculé étant inférieur au Khi2 tabulaire cela prouve l’inexistence d’une liaison statistique ou significative entre les deux variables.

Published: February 2023

This article investigates the impact of employing the Cubing Strategy in the first semester students of the English Language Education Study Program while teaching writing, specifically report texts. According to the authors' teaching experience, many students struggle with creating report texts. They have difficulty on how to compose report text. In light of this issue, the lecturer must employ an engaging technique in the teaching and learning process to help students comprehend how to create the text. Cubing technique is a creative, hands-on practice that fosters critical thinking, promotes a greater grasp of a topic, and encourages in-depth investigation of it. It employs a cube-shaped visual organizer to encourage students to examine a topic from multiple perspectives. On each face of a cube, the learner writes responses to questions or suggestions. Applying the Cubing Strategy to the production of a report text can aid students in gaining a deeper grasp of the issue through the use of six viewpoints that are pertinent to the subject, enabling them to produce a quality report text. This mixed-methods study involving 48 first-semester English language Education students examined the use of the cubing strategy to the acquisition of report writing. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of the cubing technique on students' report writing skill and their perceptions of its implementation. The statistical evidence indicated a significant difference in the students' writing scores on the students' report text writing pre-test (M=48.75) and post-test (M=70.93, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted because the p-value was less than 0.05, which encapsulates that the students' report text writing was improved. The qualitative findings also revealed students' perspectives of the adoption of the cubing technique, it was discovered that the technique improved students' writing skills, learning motivations, and language development for a variety of skills, such as reading and vocabulary enhancement.

Sustainability and the Uses of Fiction
In 1987 the United Nations agreed upon the now well-known followingdefinition of the term sustainability: »Sustainable development seeks tomeet the needs and aspirations of the present without compromising theability to meet those of the future.
«In The Idea of Justice (2009), Amartya Sen suggests that this term shouldbe understood in a wider context: »Certainly, people do have needs, butthey also have values and, in particular, cherish their ability to reason,appraise, choose, participate and act.«
Taking these general positions asa starting point, this study discusses narrative strategies employed innovels by the Finnish authors Arto Paasilinna and Johanna Sinisalo (in theso called »ecothriller« genre) and in various forms of »toxic discourses«(exemplified by travelogues focusing on the Falun mine in Sweden and inPhaedra C. Pezzullo’s book Toxic Tourism). The theoretical basis for thestudy is ecocriticism, a new field of research which studies the relationbetween texts and the physical world.
The article concludes that the formation of a sustainable society is to alarge extent the result of conscious choices between alternative ways oftelling stories about the world. Highlighting the dynamics of ourrelationship with the physical environment is an essential contributionfrom the humanities to the formation of a sustainable society.
