Education Financing through Volunteering Resource Networking in Tanzania: Supporting the Disadvantaged Students
Authors: W. Msuya Ombeni 
Published: August 2022

Education has never been free in human history. There are various costs associated with its access and management. In some countries, governments have waived or abolished school fees, yet families take care of indirect or other supportive school requirements. Although the government of Tanzania abolished fees from primary to Secondary education in 2016, parents have been paying school fees at advanced secondary education. As a result, students from disadvantaged communities have been facing a great challenge in attaining advanced secondary education. Hence, in January 2018, Dr. Msuya Scholarship Award was founded to support disadvantaged students. This study used the mixed research approach to collect data. A total sample of 91 participants was used including 64 beneficiaries, 11 heads of secondary schools, 15 parents and 1 scholarship coordinator from Dr. Msuya Foundation. The findings indicated that the scholarship successfully supported 111 students who were able to complete their advanced secondary education. Out of those, 93 passed and joined various higher learning institutions for further learning. The scholarship raised community awareness on undertaking collective responsibility in financing education. It promoted the spirit of unity and charity. The study recommends collaborative approaches to finance education through mobilized community resources.

Published: August 2022

This article examined the economic effects of the coronavirus disease on college of education students based on their location in the lockdown and non-lockdown districts. A total of 198 students from the Seventh-day Adventist College of Education, Agona-Ashanti, Ghana, were selected using a simple random sampling. A questionnaire and semi-structured thematic guide were used for data collection. Quantitative data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS (version 25) while direct quotes from in-depth interviews were used to support quantitative data. The results show that students and parents mainly engaged in trading and farming as their main sources of income. The chi-square test of independence showed no statistically significant differences in the self-supporting livelihood activities pursued by students from lockdown and non-lockdown districts (P˃.05). It also showed no statistically significant differences in the effect of the pandemic on both parents' and students' livelihood activities based on their location (P˃.05). The economic consequences of the pandemic on students’ academic activities in both lockdown and non-lockdown districts were, thus, similar. It is recommended that the Ghanaian government's measures to mitigate the economic effects of the pandemic should not be limited to the lockdown districts but should be extended to all districts across the country.

With the changing in consumers’ lifestyles and industrialization, pre-packaged food products have become standard. Information on food labels on pre-packaged food products is considered a means to help consumers make informed food choices. In Ethiopia, there has been a limited information on food labels' compliance with food labeling requirements and customers' use of labeling information for purchasing decision making. This study was designed to fill this information gap. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Addis Ababa in 2019. Thirty-one juice products and 403 consumers from 15 supermarkets were included in the study. Compliance was assessed using the 17 standard requirements for food labeling information. On the other hand, the use of food labeling information by consumers was measured by considering the ten essential food labeling information, and frequent use of labeling information was considered as a "good practice". Data were collected using semi-structured questionnaires and a checklist. Data were entered into Epi data entry and analyzed using SPSS. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression were performed. From the consumers included in the study, 204 (50.6%) were males, 248 (61.5%) attended college, and 105 (26.1%) reported frequently using food labeling information. Sex, marital status, monthly income, and level of awareness were associated (p < 0.05) with the use of food labeling information. Only 6 (19.4%) pre-packed juice products fulfilled all standard labeling requirements, while 1 (3.2%) fulfilled only 50% of the requirements. In consideration of the increasing use of pre-packed food products and associated public health risks, the study demonstrated the need for improving public awareness about the use of food labeling information, and strengthening regulatory enforcement practices.

Introduction: TLR4-dependent pro-inflammatory signaling has been involved in the initiation, progression, and plaque destabilization phases of atherosclerosis which is the leading cause of MI.
Aims & Objectives: To determine primarily the association of TLR4 gene with myocardial infarction through family clustering analysis as well as a case control association study. Secondarily to evaluate the environmental factors responsible for onset of MI (myocardial infarction) in Pakistani population.
Place and duration of study: Current study was conducted at the Department of Zoology Government College University Lahore between 2019 and 2020.
Material & Methods: Demographic information and blood samples were collected from various families with at least one or two family members affected with MI. DNA was isolated and targeted sequence was amplified by primer specific PCR reaction. Genotyping was achieved by Sanger sequencing.
Results: The family clustering study found TT genotype of rs4986791 to be significantly associated with MI while other SNP (Asp299Gly; rs4986790) did not show any association with MI. In the case control association study, allele T was seen as a risk allele with significant association (p<0.05) of variants 4986791 to MI. Moreover, allele of rs 4986790 was found to be protective allele for participants. Smoking, air pollution, BMI, diabetes, positive family history and hypertension were found strongly responsible for development of MI.
Conclusion: Results of this study indicate that SNP 1196C/T (Thr399Ile; rs4986791) in TLR4 gene is strongly associated with MI and other SNP rs4986790 was not associated with MI onset in a Pakistani family.

Las competencias comunicativas en un docente son valoradas como esenciales para lograr una educación de calidad. Para el docente que enseña español, lograr un modelaje apropiado dentro y fuera del aula es una característica primordial. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar la comunicación escrita del docente de español de nivel secundario en el sistema educativo dominicano. La metodología utilizada fue descriptiva, con enfoque cualitativo y corte transversal y el instrumento de recolección de datos fue la encuesta en la cual contestaron tres preguntas abiertas con la finalidad de evaluar su escritura. Las categorías para el análisis fueron: sintaxis, acentuación, puntuación, uso de letras mayúsculas, redacción y cambio de letras. Los resultados mostraron deficiencia en el uso de los signos de puntuación y de acentuación, así como en la sintaxis. Estas deficiencias se observaron con mayor frecuencia en los docentes que, aunque imparten la clase de español, no pertenecen a esta área profesional, contrario a los que sí pertenecen a dicha especialidad. Esto es una evidencia de la debilidad del sistema educativo dominicano. Se concluye que es necesario designar en las aulas profesionales de la enseñanza del español para garantizar el modelaje correcto del uso escrito del idioma ante los estudiantes de nivel secundario.
