description: As a public policy worker in environmental issues, I have been closely related to a diversity of public forums where they are discussed and even solved. I cannot introduce this knowledge in this capstone by using classic scientific methods, because I feel this faction of academia consider daily observation as mere “anecdotes”. Therefore, it is necessary to make a political statement, and position myself as a postmodern feminist. The reason of this announcement is to explicitly state the epistemological theory from which I pretend to generate knowledge about the topic I chose for this Capstone project, which is the Donna Haraway’s ‘situated knowledge’. This theory challenges male oriented objectivity and support the explicit positioning of the narrator in a scientific work. In this context, this work will include my own knowledge as a lawyer and observations of processes going on in my country in a thread complemented by classic quantitative and qualitative research.
description: The present research is meant to find out some of the factors that influence the Ecuadorian Highest Courts decisions in environmental cases. For answering my research question I analyzed these decisions, from 1998 to 2014, which constitutes the whole population of the decisions in environmental cases. For the Capstone, I focused in oil and mining cases. The research required three steps. First was to collect data from the corps of decisions in the national Court cases. Second, was to design a database: create variables and a codebook to organize them. Third, was to develop an analysis model using this data and investigate whether there are causal or correlations between the variables. I build the model with one dependable variable that summarized the case results (Variable: decision). The findings showed not only correlations between the independent variables such as the subject that tried to enforce the environmental rights, but also causation between a ‘pro environment decision’ (hereafter PER) or an ‘against environment decision’ (hereafter AER) and the topic that was discussed.

description: Integration of food crop production with feed supply in quantity and quality by considering some important foliar diseases could be an ideal approach in the crop-livestock farming system of tropical agriculture. Evaluating the responses of dual-purpose sorghum varieties to anthracnose diseases, growth and yield performances under the dry land farming system was undertaken in Arguba and Chamomile research substation during the 2018 and 2019 major production seasons. Five sorghum varieties (Chelenko, A-2267_2 and NTJ_2, Dishkara, Konoda) and one local check (Rara) were arranged factorial in a randomized complete block design with four replications. The assessment was done on plant height, leaf number, leaf width, leaf length, tiller number, dry biomass and grain yields, as well as on anthracnose disease infection. Variety Chelenko exhibited the tallest main crop plant height while Dishkara was the tallest at ratoon crop harvesting. Rara had a higher tiller number among the varieties. Chelenko had a higher dry biomass yield at the main crop while Dishkara at ratoon harvesting. The total dry biomass yield recorded by Dishkara, Chelenko A-2267_2, Rara, NTJ_2 and Konoda varieties was 45.3, 33.3, 31.8, 29.8 21.7 and 18.5 t/ha, respectively. Dry biomass yield was strongly and positively correlated with plant height. The varieties A-2267_2 and NTJ_2 recorded Anthracnose incidence of 98.90 and 100%, respectively while the severity was about 43.67 and 40.36% in the same order. Similarly, the area under disease progress curves for A-2267_2 and NTJ_2 varieties were 860 and 1085.27%-days, respectively. Dishkara and Chelenko varieties produced 45.3 t/ha and 33.3 t/ha dry biomass yields, which were 33.6% and 9.6%, respectively, higher (P<0.05) compared to the overall mean dry biomass yield (30.1 t/ha). On the other hand, the Konoda variety produced about 62.7% (18.5 t/ha) less dry biomass yield than the overall mean dry biomass yield. Although the anthracnose infection was highest in the varieties Konoda and NTJ_2, they produced significantly (P<0.001) higher grain yield (3.89 t/ha) than others. Under anthracnose pressure, Chelenko and Dishkara varieties are suggested for dry biomass yield while NTJ_2 for grain yield production in the study area and areas with similar agro-ecologies. Further research on the performance of the varieties under irrigation conditions and the inclusion of their feed quality is also recommended.

description: Ethiopian highlands are the center of endemism for fauna including birds. However, due to poor management practice, the habitats of animals have been encroached on from time to time. The main objective of this study was to assess the diversity, abundance and distribution of birds in the Guna Mountain Community Conservation Area. The study was conducted from August 2019 to April 2020, in wet and dry seasons. A stratified random sampling design was used to classify habitats based on vegetation type. The habitat types were: Erica moorland, Guassa grassland, and Rocky with lobelia. Point transects count method for Erica moorland, but line transects method for both Guassa grasslands and Rocky with lobelia habitats were employed. Data were collected in the morning (6:00-10:00 A.M.) and late afternoon (4:00-6:00 P.M.). A Chi-square test was used to test the distribution of birds among the three habitats and difference on the abundance of birds between wet and dry seasons. A total of 76 bird species that belong to 12 orders and 35 families were identified. Four species are endemic to Ethiopia, and nine were endemic both to Ethiopia and Eritrea. Five species were Inter African migrants, 18 highland biome species, and two Palearctic migrant bird species were identified. The Passeriformes were the most dominant order with 44 species and account for 58%, whereas Galliformes, Cuculiformes, Apodiformes and Strigiformes were the least represented orders that have only one species each. Relatively, high diversity of bird species was observed in the grassland habitat (Hˈ =3.67) but the lowest species diversity was observed in the Rocky with lobelia habitat (Hˈ=2.6). The highest evenness was recorded in the rocky with lobelia habitat (E = 0.88), whereas the lowest evenness was recorded in Erica moorland (E = 0.79). The species abundance of birds during the wet and dry seasons was significantly different (χ2 = 904.541, DF =1, p<0.001). There were also significant differences in the distribution of birds among the three habitats (χ2 = 3315.965, DF =75, p<0.001). Food availability, vegetation composition and breeding sites have affected the variety of birds' abundance in different habitats. It has been seen that habitat size, foraging modes and floristic composition influenced the distribution of birds. Grassland and highland biome restricted birds may be affected as they do not have any alternative foraging or breeding sites if the Guna Mountains Conservation Area habitat fragmentation continues. The area supports a variety of avian species with high endemics and habitat specifics. Conservation of the area is vital for habitat restricted and endemic birds.

description: Lupine has traditionally been intercropped with food barley in northwest Ethiopian highlands. But, there is no any documented information about the optimum plant population and time of white lupine intercropping with food barley in these areas. Hence, a field experiment was conducted on plant population and time of lupine intercropping with food barley in 2017 and 2018 main cropping season in Gozamin highland, northwest Ethiopia, to determine the optimum plant population and time of lupine intercropping for maximum productivity of food barley fields. Factorial combinations of three plant population (500000, 250000 and 166667 plants/ha) and four time of lupine additive series intercropping (simultaneously, two weeks, four weeks and six weeks after barley sowing) with food barley were laid out in randomized compete block design with three replications. Sole food barely and sole lupine were included as a comparison purpose. The results indicated that there was no significant difference among treatment combinations for biomass and grain yields of food barley. However, highly significant differences among treatment combinations were observed for biomass and grain yields of lupine. The highest land equivalent ratio (1.48), relative economic efficiency (42.61%), and net economic return (Birr 38,160/ha) with acceptable higher marginal rate of return (598.68%) were recorded in the combination of 166667 plants/ha plant population and simultaneous time of lupine additive intercropping with food barley.

Exploiting Multi-Loop Parallelism on Heterogeneous Microprocessors
Creators: name: Zuzak, Michael
name: Yeung, Donald
Publisher: name: Digital Repository at the University of Maryland
Year: 2016

description: Heterogeneous microprocessors integrate CPUs and GPUs on the same chip,
providing fast CPU-GPU communication and enabling cores to compute on
data "in place." These advantages will permit integrated GPUs to exploit
a smaller unit of parallelism. But one challenge will be exposing
sufficient parallelism to keep all of the on-chip compute resources
fully utilized. In this paper, we argue that integrated CPU-GPU chips
should exploit parallelism from multiple loops simultaneously. One
example of this is nested parallelism in which one or more inner SIMD
loops are nested underneath a parallel outer (non- SIMD) loop. By
scheduling the parallel outer loop on multiple CPU cores, multiple
dynamic instances of the inner SIMD loops can be scheduled on the GPU
cores. This boosts GPU utilization and parallelizes the non-SIMD code.
Our preliminary results show exploiting such multi-loop parallelism
provides a 3.12x performance gain over exploiting parallelism from
individual loops one at a time.

description: The objective of this study was to describe the morphological features of indigenous goats in two lowland districts of Gofa zone in their home tract, Ethiopia. A total of 170 goats (50 males and 120 females) were used for the morphological characterization. Results confirmed that there were morphological variations in terms of coat color patterns. Accordingly, about 49.2% of goats showed plain followed by patchy (27.8); the dominant coat color was brown (44.7%) followed by white (32.7%). About 98.5% goats were characterized by possessing horn, 80.5% curved horn-shape, 54.5% with obliquely-upward horn orientation, 75.2% horizontal ear-orientation, 88.0% straight head-profile, 92.0% partially-sprit scrotum-type, 6% wattle presence, 38.0% beard and 2.5% ruff. There were no statistically significant morphological variations between males and females (p>0.05). These may be due to the high off-take rate of male goats at an early age. A significant difference (p<0.05) was observed between age and linear body measurements. There were significant correlations found among body weight with body length (r=0.81), wither height (r=0.67), chest girth (r=0.82), head length (r=0.64) and horn length (r=0.61). Morphological traits’ variations suggest that this goat population has not yet been selected through structured selective breeding.

description: For the past 13 years, the National Fisheries and Aquatic Life Research Center (NFALRC) have intervened with small-scale fish farming trials in South West and West Shewa zones of Oromia Region, Ethiopia. Opportunities and challenges of the trial, farmers’ awareness, and attitude towards small-scale fish farming and its economics have already been studied and documented. However, the studies were not comprehensively reviewed, synthesized, and presented to inform further intervention. This paper is meant to fill this gap. Desk review of those studies and others supported by prior experience of the author to intervention areas is the core approach followed. As a result, seven key lessons were learned: the need for redefining core challenges of small-scale fish farming, gender inclusion in small-scale fish farming, need for a revision of public sector-led formal extension service delivery linked to the change in the conventional extension approach followed by NFALRC, emphasis on awareness creation on fish farming, the importance of participatory approaches and the need for repeating research trials in the economics of small-scale fish farming. Among these, awareness creation, the use of participatory approaches, and changes in conventional extension service delivery by NFALRC should be given priority.

description: The objectives of the study were to determine the breeding season, fecundity rate, size at first maturity and sex ratio of O. niloticus in Lake Chamo. Data (total length (TL), total weight (TW), sex, maturity stages and number of eggs) were collected. A total of 1,245 samples (968 females and 277 males) were collected during the sampling period (December 2019 to November 2020). The collected data were summarized using descriptive statistics (percentage, graphs, tables) and analyzed with the application of Microsoft Excel 2010 and Sigma plot 13.0 Software. There was significant deviation in sex ratio (Females: Males) from hypothetical 1:1 ratio (χ2 = 393.0; p<0.05). The mean fecundity was 1,138 eggs/ fish and it was positively correlated with TL and TW. The size at first sexual maturity (TL50) was 23.4 and 22.0 cm for females and males respectively. The O. niloticus in Lake Chamo breeds throughout the year. The peak breeding season was observed from March to May and August to November. It is recommendable to reduce commercial fishing of O. niloticus during the peak breeding seasons in order to minimize the capture of breeding fish. The size at first maturity in the present study for both sexes was 23.6 cm which is too smaller than the earlier study (39.6 cm). This might be due to heavy fishing together with illegal fishing activities, fishing during the breeding season, breeding ground destruction by buffer zone agricultural practices around the lake. Therefore, appropriate fishery management tools such as closing season during peak breeding, buffer zone conservation and mesh size regulation should be implemented for sustainable fishery utilization in Lake Chamo.

description: Finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.)Gaertn.) is a small seed crop grown in low rainfall areas and its diverse cultural conditions make it an important food security crop; however, its productivity is low in Ethiopia. This research was done to estimate heritability and gene numbers for yield and yield components in parental, filial and backcross generations derived from a cross of two-finger millet cultivars at Koga and Adet Agricultural Research Centers, Northwestern Ethiopia in 2014/15. The experiment comprised six basic generations and four reciprocals of finger millet evaluated in randomized complete block design with two replications. Data on yield and yield component traits were recorded. The result showed the number of genes estimated in both locations ranged from -0.23 to 88.78, indicating that the presence of many genes with small cumulative effect and epistasis gene effect will bias an estimate of the number of genes. Medium to high narrow-sense heritability value coupled with high genetic advance showed the influence of additive variance and ease of improvement for biomass yield and number of ears in this population. While low, medium and high narrow-sense heritability observed together with the low genetic gain in most traits; which showed the presence of small additive variance in most traits with the influence of epistasis; hence intensive selection is required to exploit the characters. In most traits, the number of genes estimated to be negative and/or very small indicates that epistasis was significant and the existence of environmental effect in both locations. The results indicate the presence of genetic variability for developing improved varieties through crossing and selection.

The benefits and challenges of electronic health records (EHRs) as data sources for clinical and epidemiologic research have been well described. However, several factors are important to consider when using EHR data to study novel, emerging, and multifaceted conditions such as postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection or long COVID. In this article, we present opportunities and challenges of using EHR data to improve our understanding of long COVID, based on lessons learned from the National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded RECOVER (REsearching COVID to Enhance Recovery) Initiative, and suggest steps to maximize the usefulness of EHR data when performing long COVID research.

description: In tropical countries, the demand for meat and milk production has been increasing at an alarming rate, which the production, in turn, is requiring sufficient energy and protein feed supply. Four Napier grass varieties (ILRI_16815, ILRI_16902, ILRI_16913, ILRI_15743) and four nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur (NPS) fertilizer (0, 12.5, 25, 50 kg ha-1 N:P:S with a rate of 19% N:37% P2O5:7% S) level were laid out in split-plot design at Basketo and Melokoza districts during 2018-2019 cropping seasons to evaluate agronomic and forage biomass yield performance. Data were collected for three consecutive harvestings each year to evaluate yield and agronomic parameters. NPS fertilizer application had no significant variation on growth and yield of Napier grass. In terms of plant height, ILRI_15743 is found to be a shorter variety that had a wider circumference covering the ground, better leaf to stem ratio and a higher number of tillers per plant. The plant height was varied for NPS fertilizer application and the higher plant was at 12.5 kg ha-1(72.2 cm) level. ILRI_16815 demonstrated as the longest 84.6 cm variety among others in the test which encompass higher dry matter yield. Dry matter yields highly correlated (P<0.001) with leaf length, leaf number per plant and green forage yield which have less association with circumference, leaf width and leaf to stem ratio. There was better yield recorded at Melokoza than Basketo and applying 12.5 kg ha-1 NPS fertilizer is economical in Napier grass production. Therefore, ILRI_16815 could be recommended with 12.5 kg ha-1 NPS fertilizer at Melokoza, Basketo and similar agro-ecology to have economical Napier grass yield

description: The study was carried out to describe the indigenous goat population structure in selected districts (Fogera, Farta and Libokemkem) of South Gondar zone by applying multivariate analysis on morphometric variables. Fourteen morphometric traits were taken from 153 male and 357 female goats. The results indicated that the district had a significant effect on all traits of male goats except for body length (BL), height at wither (HW), height at rump (HR), ear length (EL) and scrotal circumference. The district effect in females was also significant for BL, heart girth (HG) and chest depth, paunch girth (PG), HR, and teat length. Age had a highly significant effect on all traits except for EL showing a high heterogeneity among males and females of different flocks. The cluster analysis showed two distinct groups in which Farta goats were included in one cluster while group two included the Fogera and Libokemkem goats under one sub-cluster. The canonical discriminant analysis indicated that Fogera and Libokemkem goats were the closest while the Farta and Fogera goats were the furthest. However, the Mahalanobis distances between the three goat populations were too small indicating the existence of homogeneity among them. The discriminant analysis correctly assigned the respective 58.6%, 62.3% and 63.2% of the Farta, Fogera and Libokemkem goat populations into their source population with an overall 61.4% accuracy rate. In conclusion, multivariate analysis identified BL, HG, HW, PG, HR, canon circumference, rump length, and width as the most imperative traits to effectively differentiate the indigenous goat populations in the studied districts.

Determinants of Technical Efficiency in Agricultural Production among Sub Saharan African Countries
Creators: name: Ntwiga, Davis Bundi
Publisher: name: Journal of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences
Year: 2021

description: Climate change has led to a decline in agricultural production due to erratic weather patterns, compromised crop yields and population pressure on arable land. Sub-Saharan Africa is most vulnerable to climate change due to its geographical location, increase in population, destruction of the forests and other agricultural malpractices. This is a threat to livelihoods, food systems, and increase in malnutrition and shocks in food prices. This study examines the influence of climatic factors on the technical efficiency of agricultural production in Sub Saharan Africa using time series data for 25 years from 1991 to 2015 selected from nine countries. The data envelopment analysis estimates technical efficiency with input variable as agricultural land and output variable as agricultural value-added. The panel data analysis response variable is the technical efficiency scores. Predictor variables were population, forest area, temperature, rainfall, and greenhouse gases. In the last 25 years, there has been an increase in population, agricultural land, temperature, and greenhouse gases with a decrease in forest area and rainfall. Temperature, forest area, and greenhouse gases showed significant influences on the technical efficiency of agricultural production. The intricate nature of climate change requires significant efforts to reverse the trend being observed and boost agricultural production efficiency.

description: Finger millet is one of the major growing crops in Amhara region particularly in West Gojjam Zone in maintaining food and nutrition security. However, the quality of finger millet seeds, agronomic packages and the productivity of the crop is very low as well as maintaining of genetic diversity is not documented. The present study was carried out in Yilmana-Densa and Mecha districts of Northwestern Ethiopia to document farmers’ knowledge and experiences on finger millet seed management practices. Data were collected from 120 households using a structured questionnaire and focus group discussion. The results showed that 72.5% of the respondents explained that seed selection is made by both husband and wife; and the seed was selected soon after threshing 58.3% of the respondents replied that the seeding materials are selected soon after threshing while 37.5% did during planting time. Almost all respondents used locale made materials to clean seed and 97.5% of them didn’t use storage chemicals as finger millet do have a long shelf life like teff. Nowadays farmers used improved varieties of finger millet as its productivity is better than the local varieties. Therefore, the existing finger millet seed management practices has been contributing for maintaining genetic diversity, however, the system is insufficient to hold and enhance the existing function of the extension organization, farmer cooperative union, NGO and government organization to meet the seed quality thereby seed security. Hence, establishing and strengthening linkages among stakeholders to use indigenous knowledge on seed management practices, seed selection, diversity conservation and seed security for a bad time.

description: This research empirically estimated the demand for imported staple food commodities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia using dated data of 38 years (1980 to 2017) sourced from Food and Agriculture Organization and United Nations Conference on Trade and Development databases. The collected data covered the consumer price index; import quantities and expenditures of fifteen staple food commodities. The collected data were analysed using descriptive statistics and linear expenditure system almost ideal demand system (LES/AIDS) model. The empirical evidence showed the diversification on food spending to be very low as one commodity (barley) had a dominant influence on the consumers’ budget expenditure. Furthermore, it was observed that the dietary diversity of consumers is low. Income effect had strong influence than the substitution effect in determining the demand for the selected imported commodities. It also showed that as consumers’ income increase and consumers’ diversify their diets, the consumption of non-staple foods rather than the staple foods would increase. Therefore, the study recommends that people should be encouraged to engage in optimal dietary diversification in order to enhance their diet nutritional quality and health status. However, since almost all of the commodities are important given that they fulfilled the needs of the people, especially the poor who face tight budgetary constraints. Thus, it becomes imperative for the policymakers to enhance their home-grown economy so as enhance the economy, foreign exchange reserve and protect the health status of the country population.

description: Seed meal of Jatropha that is obtained after extracting the oil has high nutritive value in terms of crude protein that can be used as animal feed. However, Jatropha seed meal contains several anti-nutritive compounds that can be probably toxic to animals. The aim of the present study was therefore to evaluate the effects of different treatment methods on the composition of nutrients, anti-nutritional factors and metabolizable energy content of Jatropha seed meal. The seed meal was collected from a biodiesel industry at Bati, Oromia Zone of Amhara Region, Ethiopia and treated using sodium hydroxide, backing yeast and heat and compared with the control (untreated) jatropha seed meal. The nutrient composition (Ash, Crude Protein, Ether Extract, Crude Fiber, Neutral Detergent Fiber, Acid Detergent Fiber and Acid Detergent Lignin), Phorbol ester, metabolizable energy and non-fiber carbohydrate contents were estimated using the standard formula. The result indicates that crude protein content varied from 26.97% in sodium hydroxide to 38.83% in the control treatments on a dry matter basis. The ash content of sodium hydroxide treated and the control were significantly higher (p<0.05) than yeast and heat-treated treatments. The ether extract content of sodium hydroxide-treated was significantly lowest (p<0.05) when compared to the other treatments. The crude fiber contents of sodium hydroxide (30.05) and yeast- treated jatropha seed meal (33.67) were higher (p<0.05) than heat-treated (28.54) and the control (24.3) treatments. The highest neutral detergent fiber and crude fiber contents were observed form yeast and sodium hydroxide treatments whereas the lowest from the control. The metabolizable energy contents of the control was higher (P<0.05) than all other treated jatropha seed meal. Sodium hydroxide and the control treatments had higher (p<0.05) non-fiber carbohydrate content than the yeast treatment. The lowest (360.35) phorbol ester content was recorded from yeast-treated jatropha seed meal followed by sodium hydroxide (872.15) treated while the highest (2285.9 μg TPA eq./g ) was from untreated control. Treating the Jatropha seed meal with yeast improved the feed values, reduced the phorbol ester content and increased the crude protein and ether extract than the other treatments, which can be recommended as possible treatment option for JSM. Feeding trial of yeast-treated JSM is also recommended for further research.
