Abstract

The first Missionary Station in Isoavina was established in the early years, with the initial school providing basic education and extracurricular activities, such as crafting, woodwork, and iron modeling, during the years 1870-1877. The school was known as the "Sekolin'ny Firenena" (National School). Education, in general, flourished under the guidance of foreign missionaries. However, when they departed, the school encountered several challenges. All activities experienced a significant decline due to the Malagasy teacher who continued the work lacking proper training. The school regained momentum with the inauguration of the new preschool "Manohisoa" on September 12, 1995, followed by the primary year 1 on September 10, 1997, and the Secondary year 2 on September 5, 2009, as stipulated in the authorization N2012/17-DREN ANALAMANGA on May 16, 2012. Regarding the performance in examinations, "MANOHISOA" School FJKM Isoavina had a 100% pass rate for CEPE (72.33%-74.44%-75.40% pass rates for CISCO Manjakandriana) in the academic years 2019-2020, 2020-2021, and 2021-2022, respectively. As for the BEPC, it was 56% for the year 2019-2020 (50.99% for CISCO), 100% for the year 2020-2021 (64.16% for CISCO), and 100% for the year 2021-2022 (74.23% for CISCO). Another 100% pass rate is achieved this 2022-2023 academic year. The disparity between public and church-affiliated schools poses a significant issue. Public schools have a considerably higher student population compared to their church-affiliated counterparts. Additionally, the number of teachers managing students in public schools is notably lower than those at MANOHISOA school (15 students per teacher). The inclusion of Holy Scripture curriculum in the educational program in FJKM schools helps to shape moral and ethical value to the students.

Abstract

The primary objective of this study is to explore sustainable alternatives to address the accumulation of waste resulting from the sisal exploitation in South Amboasary. Laboratory tests involving 8,000 g of defibration residues mixed with 1,600 g of inoculum over 69 days produced 355 liters of biogas, equating to 335 L/kg of dry matter with a methane content of 58% and a lower calorific value of 20,807 kJ/Nm³. These results suggest that biomethanation can valorize the 212,630 tons of sisal waste available annually, potentially replacing the 2,030 m³ of diesel consumed each year and meeting the domestic fuel needs of 16,575 households with eight members each. Additionally, a production of 137,800 tons of compost is projected to prevent the emission of approximately 7,000 tons of CO₂-equivalent toxic gases into the atmosphere. The technical feasibility studies for infrastructure implementation and project organization address several issues: local treatment of organic waste, creation of local jobs, energy independence, agricultural sustainability, and economic development.

Abstract

This paper delves into environmental challenges in Madagascar's Ikopa Watershed, focusing on the impact of climate disruptions and human activities on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Employing a multidisciplinary approach, the research is examining the intricate interplay of geological, climatic, and human-induced factors, exploring their implications for sustainable water resource management. The study has employed representative sampling, surveying 386 households, and has combined it with field data collection and an evaluation of local perspectives on environmental risks. The results have identified four main forms of environmental degradation: water and wind erosion, biological, and water degradation. These phenomena have significant implications for water availability and quality, as well as local agricultural activities. Additionally, the research has classified households into two groups based on their exposure to climate variability, emphasizing the need for tailored adaptation strategies to address specific environmental challenges. The findings underscore the importance of local adaptation initiatives, such as sustainable land management and community awareness, to enhance resilience against environmental risks. Conclusively, the paper emphasizes the importance of ongoing and customized water resource management in the Ikopa Watershed, taking into account local perspectives, adaptation strategies, and future environmental challenges.

Abstract

An assessment of amphibian species was carried out in the Forêt Classée de Kianjavato (FCK), part of the Dense Humid Evergreen Forests of eastern Madagascar. The research was carried out in two phases, first during the cool season (June - July 2012) and then during the wet season (November - December 2014), covering three types of habitat: deforested area, reforestation area and forest area. Three standard inventory methods were used: direct observation, systematic excavation and trapping. A total of 26 amphibian species were recorded, including one new to the site. Most of these species are classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, represented by low numbers of individuals. The distribution of amphibian species is influenced by biotic factors such as the structure of the vegetation cover. Amphibians are found in both forested and degraded areas. The degraded areas share several species, forming a habitat distinct from the forested area. The study highlights the extension of the range of distribution of amphibian species and emphasises that the conditions necessary for their presence in degraded areas are not yet in place. The FCK, with its varied ecological landscape, is crucial to the preservation of biological diversity in eastern Madagascar.

Abstract

In the persistent pursuit of alleviating the deleterious effects of malnutrition, particularly accentuated in vulnerable regions such as southern Madagascar, a comprehensive examination of the inherent capacities of botanical resources emerges as imperative. The current investigation thus endeavors to delve into the nutritional intricacies and underlying adaptations of four distinct cultivars of Mucuna pruriens, with the overarching objective of elucidating potential avenues for addressing the enduring predicaments of malnutrition, which corrodes the socio-economic fabric of indigenous communities while being exacerbated by the adverse ramifications of global climatic shifts. This rigorous inquiry is poised to scrutinize the diverse cultivars of Mucuna pruriens extensively, meticulously analyzing their nutritional profile encompassing both micronutrient and macronutrient constituents. The fundamental aspiration of this scholarly endeavor is to elucidate the underexplored nutritional reservoirs harbored within these Mucuna pruriens varieties, presenting auspicious prospects for fostering a more equitable and sustainable dietary paradigm. This entails employing a series of preparatory measures including soaking, dehulling, germination, cooking, and drainage, aimed at mitigating the presence of anti-nutritional elements, thereby optimizing the nutritional utility of the seeds.

Abstract

In order to promote the nutrition of tilapia in farming, a food has been created from traditional raw materials and containing a quantity of banana flour and carrot flour from local production 3%. We tested the food which contains 33% crude proteins and 8% lipids on carp fry having an initial weight of 99.56 ±1.12 gr during 50 days in Vakinankaratra region, Madagascar . After 50 days of experiment, the final weights of the fish fluctuated between 187.63g and 188.15g depending on the treatments used. The food containing banana flour, carrot and the control food showed almost similar growth and food transformation rates, with specific growth rates (SGR) of 3.12%/d and 3.14%/ j as well as a conversion rate of 1.5 and 1.5. Thanks to this test, we were able to observe the impact of banana and carrot on the development of tilapia. We will continue to study the use of local agri-food by-products and waste in feeding this fish.

Abstract

After characterizing the clay minerals from the Bemololo (BMLL), Miandrivazo (MNDV), and Analavory (ANLV) deposits using X-ray diffraction (XRD), dye absorption experiments and photochemical screening analyses were conducted to determine the potential applications for each clay. XRD analysis revealed that the Bemololo deposit comprises the following mineral compositions: BMLL 001 is rich in muscovite; BMLL 002 contains a mixture of vermiculite, sepiolite, and amphibole; BMLL 003 is composed of kaolinite and chlorite; and BMLL 004 is predominantly kaolinite. For the Miandrivazo deposit, MNDV 001 is a mixture of kaolinite, muscovite, and chlorite; MNDV 002 contains chlorite and muscovite; and MNDV 003 comprises kaolinite and muscovite. The Analavory deposit features ANLV 001, which contains aragonite and calcite, and ANLV 002, identified as vermiculite clay. Dye absorption experiments indicated that BMLL 001, BMLL 002, and BMLL 003 have potential applications in water treatment, particularly in the removal of unwanted dyes or ions. Additionally, photochemical screening revealed the presence of deoxyose in BMLL 004, while BMLL 002, ANLV 002, and ANLV 001 were found to contain tannins.

Abstract

When we talk about the Church, we usually think about the Pastors. Therefore, in order for our country to develop, the Church must recognize the importance of pastoral formation to ensure a relevant and effective proclamation of the Gospel. The present situation, however, indicates that individuals attach little importance to pastoral training. As a result, even pastors don't express much interest in considering the pastoral training center. The behavior and attitude of pastors toward their ministry have also changed. His behavior no longer meets the requirements of the Holy Scriptures. Today's pastors are becoming more materialistic. The spiritual side is no longer valued. It is important to write this article to make people aware that humility is one of the qualities needed in pastors. It sets an example for others to adopt a humble lifestyle. The humility of Jesus Christ is truly embodied in Him. In this article, we want to restore the value of theological education in the church and encourage a change of attitude and behavior in future pastors. That's why they need to be pastors who are determined to live humbly in order to serve as an example to others and to succeed in their mission. Therefore, the expected outcome of this article is to encourage pastors to imitate Jesus and to make Jesus a good example of behavior to follow. And also, to lead them to become witnesses of Jesus Christ and to live in true faith in the fear of God. However, what Pastors need to be aware of is that even if this teaching is given, it will not be fruitful if they are not spiritually mature. And the changes in them will not be achieved unless they have the conviction that they are truly people called by God to be Pastors.
