Abstract

This study investigated the variability of density, shrinkage, and sap-heartwood proportion in different sites and within a tree. 10 trees of E. globulus from Menagesha Suba (M/Suba) and Debre Birhan (D/Birhan) forests were felled and 12 disks from each tree were collected along the stem. From each disk blocks of 2*2*3cm were taken at three locations from pith to bark. Then the block's green and oven dry weights as well as the three dimensions were measured. The result showed that the density and radial shrinkage of trees from M/Suba were significantly higher than D/Birhan forest. However, tangential, longitudinal shrinkage and sapwood proportion of trees from D/Birhan were significantly higher than M/Suba forest. Along the height, at both sites, density was increasing from bottom to top. In both sites, all shrinkages had shown a decreasing trend from breast height to 40%. Sap-heartwood proportions were irregular in trend along the height in both sites. Density shows an irregular pattern radially at both sites. At M/Suba, radial and tangential shrinkages increased from pith to bark. However longitudinal shrinkage exhibited a decreasing trend from pith to bark. At the D/Birhan forest, all shrinkages showed irregular patterns from pith to bark. Density was highly variable along the height in both study sites. Radially, density was more variable in the D/Birhan site. This study recommended that for end-uses requiring durable, denser, and stable wood, E. globulus from the M/Suba forest was better. For pulp wood, E. globulus from D/Birhan was recommended.

Abstract

The demand for forest-related goods and services has continued to grow in Ethiopia due to the increasing population, urbanization, and the boom of the construction sector. In the past, the demand was covered by indigenous timber species, which now have declined due to unwise exploitations. To narrow down the gap between supply and demand an alternative solution is promoting and utilizing fast-growing species such as Eucalyptus wood. To effectively utilize this species identifying its special characteristics, level of acceptance in wood industries, and utilization practices are very important.  To achieve the goals of this review, a thorough search was carried out across multiple scholarly databases. Then, pertinent research, papers, and articles about the use of Eucalyptus in the wood industries were downloaded and reviewed. The study shows that Eucalyptus is widely cultivated in various regions of Ethiopia and plays a significant role in the socio-economic dimensions of many Ethiopians, providing livelihood opportunities, environmental services, and supporting sustainable development. Although it is being used as an alternative to traditional timber species in many places in the world, it is not being widely used in Ethiopia's wood industry for furniture manufacturing. This is because producers are unaware of the special properties of this species; its felling technique, sawing method, and drying behavior which demands proper attention and care. To ensure the sustainable use of Eucalyptus resources, better tree management techniques, innovative wood processing techniques, market development, and strengthening the capacity of relevant stakeholders are imperative.

Abstract

Higher learning institutions confront heightened cyber threats due to the value of their data, necessitating a robust security culture. In addition to cyber threats, various security incidents cause danger to devices and personal belongings on campuses. Security incidents present a substantial challenge to academic institutions, especially higher education, where their occurrence is notably prevalent. These incidents encompass a broad spectrum, including thefts, data breaches, malware attacks, and other breaches in physical security. Addressing security incidents necessitates critical strategies involving educating and raising awareness among the academic and surrounding communities. In this study, we aimed to investigate the security awareness levels of students at Mbarara University of Science and Technology and establish their incident reporting attitudes and levels. We used a quantitative research method and conducted different statistical tests. The findings indicate that ~50% of the participants had not had any security awareness training, indicating a very big gap in the security culture at this institution. Although some of the students indicated their awareness of security threats, the percentage who showed a lack of awareness or a noncommittal response suggests that there is a very big need for security awareness strategies. Additionally, about 60% of the students showed their will to report security threats which implies that they can be vigilant about their and the institutional security. Based on these findings we recommend continuous training programs for students to increase their levels of awareness and incident reporting and consequently develop an institutional security culture.

Abstract

The present work was focused on an alternative method for the preparation of clay bricks by the mediation of sodium hydroxide solution as an efficient activator. The traditional brick preparation requires a firing process, but the present innovation avoids it by the use of commercially viable alkali as an activator. Various brick specimens were prepared by the addition of sodium hydroxide solution having different molarities to clay samples. This was done to optimize the process and contribute to process cost reduction. The blends obtained were molded as per the standard brick dimension (19X9X9 cm) and exposed to the ambient atmosphere in a well-ventilated room for curing (14-28 days). The clay samples and the brick specimens were subjected to some critical qualitative tests. Based on the results it was established that increasing the alkali addition to clay had gradually reduced the brick quality. Moreover, the inclusion of fine sand in the blend enhanced the brick quality. In this work, we emphasized optimizing the alkali input, the impact of reduced curing duration, avoiding brick firing, and the fine sand impact on the brick quality.

Abstract

This research aims to obtain in-depth information about the skills of traditional fisherwomen in processing marine products, and the knowledge of fisherwomen groups is very minimal as a reaction of humans to stimuli by the surrounding nature. The type of research is descriptive qualitative with data analysis carried out in four stages; data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Additionally, data triangulation is used to strengthen the findings. The study reveals that to enhance the skills of fisherwomen on both islands in processing seafood, focused training sessions and group assistance are essential. These efforts aim to improve their capacity to utilize fish resources to create products such as shredded fish, fish nuggets, and fish balls, which can serve as a valuable source of supplementary income. Moreover, the limited knowledge of these fisherwomen indicates the need for further support, particularly in introducing techniques for effective product marketing. By facilitating both skill-building and marketing strategies, this research highlights the potential for empowering fisherwomen through initiatives that not only enhance their productivity but also contribute to the economic sustainability of their communities.

Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Sodium selenite (Se) and zinc sulfate (Zn) supplementation individually and blended between them on semen quality, testicle size, weight, and Histological changes of the testis and epididymis, in 12 Kurdi rams. The twelve rams were divided randomly into 4 equal groups. The animals were divided into four groups 3 rams per group. The first group was the normal diet control without the addition of selenium and zinc, the second group added selenium (sodium selenite) at a concentration of 0.5 mg/kg fed, and the third group added zinc (zinc sulfate) at a concentration of 100 mg/kg fed. The fourth group added selenium with zinc at a concentration of 0.5 + 100 mg/kg fed and was given gelatin capsules daily for 90 days. Semen was collected on the 90th day of the experiment. The results showed that the level of Selenium and Zinc in the blood serum significantly (p≤0.05) increased the groups that added Se, Zn, and a combination of them compared to the control group. Overall results revealed that the abnormal sperms were improved by dietary selenium supplementation, No significant differences (P≥0.05) were found in semen volume, color, PH, sperm motility, sperm concentration, and percent live spermatozoa. Our conclusion from this study confirmed that the supplementation of Sodium selenite and zinc sulfate can improve semen quality and has positive effects on Histological parameters in Kurdi rams.
