Full textAbstract:
Intensive commercial whaling caused significant declines in Southern Hemisphere humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) populations. In Fiji, land-based humpback whale surveys undertaken from 1956 to 1958 documented maximum weekly counts of more than 150 humpback whales in parts of the Bligh waters. These records provide an invaluable point of comparison to present-day observations as they occurred immediately prior to very large humpback whale catches in Antarctic waters to the south – and on potential migration routes – of humpback whales breeding in Fijian waters. We report here on a three-year (2010–2012) land-based survey also conducted in the Bligh waters during which a total of 33 individuals over 480 h were counted from Ovalau Island and 68 individuals over approximately 300 h were observed from Makogai Island. These findings suggest a large decrease in numbers of humpback whales seen in Fiji waters since commercial whaling operations.

Full textAbstract:
Green turtles Chelonia mydas are listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, yet in the South Pacific few conservation-relevant data are available for the species, especially relating to foraging and habitat use. Here, in situ observations and stable isotope analysis (δ13C and δ15N) were used to evaluate green turtle diet and recruitment patterns at Yadua Island and Makogai Island, Fiji. Juvenile green turtles (N = 110) were hand-captured, measured, and sampled. Stable isotope analysis was performed on skin samples and on putative prey items. ‘Resident’ turtles versus ‘recent recruits’ were classified based on their bulk skin tissue isotope values, which were compared with stable isotope values of local prey items and analyzed via cluster analysis. Green turtle diet composition was estimated using MixSIAR, a Bayesian mixing model. Recent recruits were characterized by ‘low δ13C/high δ15N’ values and ranged in curved carapace length (CCL) from 25.5 to 60.0 cm (mean ± SD = 48.5 ± 5.7 cm). Recruitment mostly occurred in summer. Green turtles identified as ‘residents’ had CCLs ranging from 43.5 to 89.0 cm (mean ± SD = 57.4 ± 9.0 cm) and were characterized by ‘high δ13C/low δ15N’ values; mixing model results indicate they fed primarily on invertebrates (40%), fishes (31%), and marine plants (29%). This study confirms the value of seagrass pastures as both an essential habitat and a primary food source for green turtles, and can serve as a baseline for evaluations of natural and anthropogenic changes in local green turtle aggregations.

Full textAbstract:
Recent studies have shown that transcriptomic analysis of blood samples taken from patients with acute Ebola virus disease (EVD) during the 2013–2016 West African outbreak was suggestive that a severe inflammatory response took place in acutely ill patients. The significant knowledge gained from studying the Makona variant, a cause of the largest known EVD outbreak, may be applicable to other species of ebolavirus, and other variants of the Ebola virus (EBOV) species. To investigate the ability of Makona to initiate an inflammatory response in human macrophages and characterise the host response in a similar manner to previously characterised EBOV variants, the human monocytic cell line THP-1 was differentiated into macrophage-like cells and infected with Makona. RNA-Seq and quantitative proteomics were used to identify and quantify host mRNA and protein abundance during infection. Data from infection with Reston virus (RESTV) were used as comparators to investigate changes that may be specific to, or enhanced in, Makona infection in relation to a less pathogenic species of ebolavirus.. This study found demonstrable induction of the inflammatory response, and increase in the activation state of THP-1 macrophages infected with Makona. NFκB and inflammation-associated transcripts displayed significant changes in abundance, reflective of what was observed in human patients during the 2013–2016 EBOV outbreak in West Africa, and demonstrated that transcriptomic changes found in Makona-infected cells were similar to that observed in Reston virus infection and that have been described in previous studies of other variants of EBOV.

Full textAbstract:
Ebola virus (EBOV) is a zoonotic pathogen that poses a significant threat to public health, causing sporadic yet devastating outbreaks that have the potential to spread worldwide, as demonstrated during the 2013–2016 West African outbreak. Mouse models of infection are important tools for the development of therapeutics and vaccines. Exposure of immunocompetent mice to clinical isolates of EBOV is nonlethal; consequently, EBOV requires prior adaptation in mice to cause lethal disease. Until now, the only immunocompetent EBOV mouse model was based on the Mayinga variant, which was isolated in 1976. Here, we generated a novel mouse-adapted (MA)-EBOV based on the 2014 Makona isolate by inserting EBOV/Mayinga-MA mutations into the EBOV/Makona genome, followed by serial passaging of the rescued virus in suckling mice. The resulting EBOV/Makona-MA causes lethal disease in adult immunocompetent mice within 6 to 9 days and has a lethal dose (LD50) of 0.004 plaque forming units (PFU). Two additional mutations emerged after mouse-adaptation in the viral nucleoprotein (NP) and membrane-associated protein VP24. Using reverse genetics, we found the VP24 mutation to be critical for EBOV/Makona-MA virulence. EBOV/Makona-MA infected mice that presented with viremia, high viral burden in organs, increased release of pro-inflammatory cytokines/chemokines, and lymphopenia. Our mouse model will help advance pre-clinical development of countermeasures against contemporary EBOV variants.

The literature sources dealing with the history of gas hydrate studies and discovery of possible existence of gas hydrate deposits in natural conditions were analyzed. They contain facts proving that within 1966 and 1969 the conditions for formation of hydrates in porous medium were researched at the Department of Gas and Gas Condensate Deposits Development and Exploitation of Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas. The first experiments were set up by the Ukraine-born Yurij F. Makogon, Department Assistant Professor. The results proved possibility of formation and stable existence of gas hydrates in earth’s crust and became a scientific substantiation of natural gas hydrate deposits discovery. In 1969 the exploitation of Messoyakha deposits in Siberia started and it was the first time when the natural gas was derived directly from hydrates. The same year that invention was officially recognized and registered. Following the comprehensive international expert examination the State Committee on Inventions and Findings of the USSR Council of Ministers assumed that the citizens of the USSR Yurij F. Makogon, Andrej A. Trofimuk, Nikolaj V. Cherskij and Viktor G. Vasilev made a discovery described as follows: “Experiments proved previously unknown ability of natural gas to form deposits in the earth’s crust in solid gas hydrate state under definite thermodynamic conditions (Request dated March 19, 1969)”. The authors were presented with diplomas on March 4, 1971. From then onwards the issue of natural gas hydrates existence was widely researched all around the world. In 1985 Yurij F. Makogon became a Professor. Since 1973 he was a head of the gas hydrate laboratory in the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Natural Gases and Gas Technologies. Within 1974–1987 he was a head of the gas hydrate laboratory in Oil and Gas Research Institute RAS. In 1992 he was invited by one of the largest universities of the USA to arrange modern laboratory for gas hydrate study. The laboratory was created in the Texas University, USA and in 1995 Yurij Makogon became its head. As far as interest in gas hydrates increases Yurij F. Makogon reports at 27 international congresses and conferences, gives lectures in 45 world leading universities, functions as an academic adviser and participates in different international programs on research and exploitation of gas hydrate deposits in USA, Japan and India. The heritage of the scientist includes 27 patents, eight monographs (four of them were translated and published in the USA and Canada) and more than 270 scientific articles.

Full textAbstract:
Following the largest Ebola virus disease outbreak from 2013 to 2016, viral RNA has been detected in survivors from semen and breast milk long after disease recovery. However, as there have been few cases of sexual transmission, it is unclear whether every RNA positive fluid sample contains infectious virus. Virus isolation, typically using cell culture or animal models, can serve as a tool to determine the infectivity of patient samples. However, the sensitivity of these methods has not been assessed for the Ebola virus isolate, Makona. Described here is an efficiency comparison of Ebola virus Makona isolation using Vero E6, Huh-7, monocyte-derived macrophage cells, and suckling laboratory mice. Isolation sensitivity was similar in all methods tested. Laboratory mice and Huh-7 cells were less affected by toxicity from breast milk than Vero E6 and MDM cells. However, the advantages associated with isolation in Huh-7 cells over laboratory mice, including cost effectiveness, sample volume preservation, and a reduction in animal use, make Huh-7 cells the preferred substrate tested for Ebola virus Makona isolation.

Full textAbstract:
The primary goal of this study was to construct and test a Community Relations Model (CRM) that may be implemented by policy makers, tourism planners, tourism managers and tourism developers as they develop tourism policies and manage the social impacts of tourism. Five
objectives were derived from the primary research goal. The first objective was to analyse the social impacts of tourism by means of a literature study. This was achieved by examining the theoretical perspectives, framework and models for
assessing host community perceptions of social impacts of tourism. In this regard, it was found that the social impacts of tourism are an integral part of sociology. Therefore, the social impacts of tourism may not be successfully addressed without drawing on the methods and perspectives
of sociology. This indicates clearly that there is a relationship between sociology and other social science disciplines, particularly tourism management. The host communities' perceptions of tourism may be positive or negative and are critical in policy planning and management because they affect the behaviour of the residents toward the tourists.
The second objective was to analyse the role of the community by means of a literature study. This objective was achieved by examining the role of the government, the private sector and the community in managing the social impacts of tourism. It was found that the main roles of the government are to facilitate, coordinate, plan and promote development of the nations and tourists products. The private sector's roles are to invest and promote tourism as well as the
country. The community should actively participate in tourism management by seeking
partnership opportunities with the stablished private tourism sector, voluntary groups and NGO's. Although the community is expected to playa vital role in the management of tourism, it was found that their actual involvement depends on their awareness of tourism activities, on
how they perceive tourism developments and their involvement in tourism related issues.
The third objective was to determine the components to be used in order to develop and test the Community Relations Model (CRM). This objective was achieved through both literature and qualitative analysis. Evidence from the literature and qualitative analysis indicates that the Katse
community is unquestionably affected both positively and negatively by tourism developments.
It was also clear that effective management of social impacts of tourism may be achieved
through collaboration and partnership with the government, the private sector and the community. The stakeholders should work together in order to encourage the positive impacts and ameliorate the negative impacts. The community should be involved and made aware of tourism developments in their respective areas. Both the literature and qualitative study revealed the six
community relations components: namely, the positive impacts, negative impacts, the role of government, the role of private sector, community awareness and community involvement that, were used to develop a measuring instrument for Katse residents.
The fourth objective was to construct and test the CRM based on an empirical investigations.
The CRM is intended to guide tourism planners, managers and policy-makers in managing the social impacts of tourism. To achieve this objective, nine research hypotheses were proposed and tested. The sample of 500 Katse residents was drawn from the household population of four villages: namely, Ha-Lejone, Ha-Poli, Ha-Mikia and Mphorosane. A combination of stratified and convenience sampling approaches were used for sample selection. Data was analysed with the aid of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). SPSS with AMOS 16 software
was used to construct and test the SEM model.
In constructing and testing model A, a two stage process was followed. Firstly, factors were calculated through the use of confirmatory factor analysis for the six community relations components. Secondly, the factors were used for SEM. Due to unsatisfactory data fit in model A, model B was constructed and tested. In constructing and testing model B factor analyses
were not performed; instead all the items of each community relations component were used for SEM. In the resulting structural equation model for both model A and B, eight hypotheses were supported and one was not supported (H7). The results of the two models provided similar results; however, model B fitted the collected data reasonably while model A fitted the data poorly.
The fifth objective was to make recommendations and suggestions on how the model may be implemented with regard to the management of the social impacts of tourism. It was recommended that the model should be implemented in the area of tourism management. In order to implement the model effectively the role players should know, understand and perform their roles and duties in managing the social impacts of tourism.
The successful implementation of the CRM depends on a positive relationship between and among the role players in tourism management. Specifically, it depends on a positive relationship between the role of government, the role of private sector, community awareness, community involvement, positive impacts and negative impacts of tourism. The proposed model needs to be implemented through the partnership and collaboration of the role players in
tourism management. which will lead to sustainable tourism. The most important contribution of this study is the construction of a model through which the positive and negative impacts of tourism may be effectively managed.Thesis (Ph.D. (Business Administration))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2010.

Full textAbstract:
West Africa was in the grips of an Ebola Virus Disease outbreak, caused by the emerging Makona variant of Ebola virus. High resolution molecular methods including transcriptomics and proteomics were utilised to profile the host response to the emergent Makona variant from West Africa, and compare this response with that induced by infection with other ebolaviruses, in order to identify host factors potentially important in host pathology. A comparison between Makona and other well characterised variants of Ebola virus showed that induced differences in the host response were not significant (Chapter 3) and that the transcriptomic changes were very similar to previously characterised isolates. To evaluate the importance of interferon to the lifecycle of the Makona variant, in vitro comparisons with Reston virus were performed to highlight important changes in the antiviral state of multiple cell lines during infection, this showed an effective interferon response was not a major determinant of successful ebolavirus infection (Chapter 4). The pro-inflammatory response to the Makona variant and Reston virus were compared in a relevant inflammatory cell type (Chapter 5). Analysis indicated that a highly active NFκB response may be required for efficient virus replication, indicating a potent inflammatory response is essential for the virus lifecycle (Chapter 6). The Makona variant of Ebola virus was hypothesised to induce distinctive transcriptional and proteomic changes in infected cells. In this thesis, evidence is presented that infection with the Makona variant does not induce significantly different patterns of host response from that observed in other ebolaviruses, and presents the first longitudinal transcriptomic analysis of patient infected with the Ebola virus, Makona variant. Furthermore, this study has revealed the critical role of NFκB in the lifecycle of the ebolaviruses.

Full textAbstract:
Listed development activities, which may have a substantial detrimental effect on the environment
require an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). One of the important elements of the EIA
process is the submission of a scoping report and/or an environmental impact report (EIR) to the
relevant government department and to, specialist and interested and affected parties for review, in
order to determine whether the report is adequate and/or whether a greater quantity of information
is required before a decision for project approval can be made. Information available in the reports
to decision-makers with regard to developments with the potential of affecting wetlands can play a
significant role regarding the protection and/or destruction of wetlands. The acceptance of the
assessments reports after the authority review process depends, inter aha, upon the quality of the
report. However, the current DEAT guideline document on EIA regulations (DEAT, 1998a) does not
provide specific guidance to EIA practitioners in considering wetlands within the current EIA, nor
any guidance on what a good EIA should include for projects that have the potential of impacting
on wetlands, as observed with the World Bank guideline document on EIA and wetlands. Hence,
this study aimed at assessing the quality of the EIA assessment reports of four projects with the
potential of impacting on wetlands. The objectives of the study included the review by independent
reviewers of the quality of four-selected impact reports using a checklist, analysis of the review
process results and provision of recommendations to improve the quality of environmental impact
reports for projects with the potential of impacting on wetlands.
Based on the review results it is concluded that:
-The four reports were rated as satisfactory despite some omissions and/or inadequacies
observed.
-The identification and evaluation of impacts, which forms the core area of the EIA, process
was weakly performed.
-The review method is fairly robust and consistent/reliable.
The following were recommended:
-The availability for and use of a quality review checklist by EIA practitioners and
authorities as an additional tool to the EIA regulations (DEAT 1997), and the Integrated
Environmental Management series (DEAT, 2002) can further improve the quality of the
reports for projects with the potential of affecting wetlands.
-The availability for and use by EIA practitioners of a wetland review checklist will assist in
ensuring that all key aspects are addressed before submission to the relevant authority
i.e. the report is scientifically and technically sound; the report is clearly and coherently
organised and presented so that it can be understood and that it has addressed all the
important issues to make a decision about the proposed development. This will further
assist in fast-tracking the approval process usually delayed by the request of additional
information from the applicant as a result of inadequate reports.
-Regular use of the review checklist by EIA practitioners and authorities for ascertaining
the quality of the environmental impact reports will contribute to a baseline of EIR quality
for evaluation of Wetlands EIA practice under the new regulations due in 2005.Thesis (M. Environmental Management)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2006.

Full textAbstract:
Studies on market trader activism in Africa routinely approach traders' claims-making practices from the perspective of the state's regime of signifying order, in relation to which opposition simply seeks to render itself “legible” (Scott 1998). In contrast, this dissertation contends that one must pay close attention to the multiple significations of order and disorder that exist in any social situation and which, through their continuous permeation, fuel transformations of normative plausibilities and, by extension, of the grounds for claims. With a grounding in the theory of the social and political quality of time, I show how the idea of coeval temporalities sensitises observers to the multiple sources of significations of order and disorder – particularly, with regard to subjects' relation to authority – and their creative adaptation in the moment of temporal convergence. The central marketplace of Accra, the capital of Ghana, provides the context for this study. My empirical analysis of this social arena that is closely connected to global flows of people, capital, consumer items and, inevitably, ideas, including those related to order and associated grounds of entitlement adds to the underappreciated theoretical strand the actor-centred process of translation that engenders creative adaptations between converging coeval temporalities.

AnthropologyPh.D.
Women have legendary roles as traders who financially dominate the sale of various market goods in West Africa. Head porters are young women from Ghana's rural northern region who work as human transporters in the various markets in urban areas throughout the country. Kayayei (female head porters) who work at these famed markets are the focus of this dissertation. The north of Ghana is the agricultural breadbasket of the country, with strong Islamic influences that thrive in dispersed, mostly rural ethnic enclaves. This contrasts sharply with the service manufacturing and trade economies that mark Christian influenced southern Ghana. As young women migrants arrive in Accra, this dissertation focuses on narratives of head porters as they confront the multi-ethnic, hierarchical social climates of the city, particularly Accra's largest shopping venue, Makola Market. This dissertation uses theories in phenomenology, informed by feminist anthropology, to consider the political economy of Ghana in order to examine how head porter's lives are grounded with the development history and the spread of capitalism in the nation-state. Throughout this dissertation, attention is given to the widespread informalization of the economy in the nation-state and the role of head porters in these processes. Using a methodology of collaborative photography with kayayei, this dissertation examines the politics of visibility and analyzes the kinds of skills these women develop in order to survive and negotiate the socio-economic hierarchies of urban space. By situating the theoretical and methodological concerns of this research within the social realities of rural-urban migrants, this dissertation explores migration as a sensibility that acts upon various social terrains at markets in Accra, Ghana.

Full textAbstract:
This study sought to establish gender perceptual differences and their effects on the implementation of Policy in the prevention of HIV/AIDS in Makoni District, Zimbabwe. The role of women as caregivers to HIV/AIDS sufferers is also highlighted and how this has deprived them towards social, political and economic development. The source of the data used was the World Health Organisation (WHO) project on Family Planning and AIDS. The sample of the study comprised of 100 men and women from Makoni District, Zimbabwe. In addition to the survey question, focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted. The FGD data complimented the survey results with qualitative information. The objectives of the study looked at people’s attitudes, cultural practices and sexual practices. These were analysed to determine how the gender issues within them affected the HIV/AIDS prevention strategies. The five major prevention strategies focused on in this study are: · promotion of condom use; · reduction of the number of sexual partners; · sticking to one sexual partner; · control and Treatment of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs); and · Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) for HIV to prevent vertical transmission of the disease. Although, the majority of the women indicated that it was acceptable for a married woman to ask her husband to use condoms, this was disputed by the findings from the FGDs. Issues of trust and fidelity were raised,but many men and women reported that they were not prepared to confront one another. The FGD results revealed that the men assert that it is normal for every man to have extra marital relationships, therefore they do not see anything wrong with it. It also came out that there are women who both have no income or partner to support them financially and are living in absolute poverty. These women, if anything, are more likely to increase the number of their sexual partners than reduce them so that they increase their economic base inorder to support their families. It has been established that for effective treatment and control of STDs, there is need for both partners to cooperate and seek treatment at the same time. However, the findings from this study revealed that lack of communication between sexual partners hampered the treatment of these diseases. On the other hand, the men indicated that talking to their wives about STDs would compel them to say where they got it. On the other hand the women reported that their men would accuse them of infidelity if they told them of an STD. FGD results however revealed that men and women were prepared to have HIV testing so that they would know of their status before planning a family. The gender perceptual differences on HIV/AIDS prevention have been identified as follows: · the need for male compliance to use condoms effectively; · the fear of losing trust by suggesting condom use; and · acceptance of male promiscuity by society that perpetuates that risky behaviour and exposure to HIV/AIDS infection and lack of communication between sexual partners, are a hindrance for effective control and treatment of STDs.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to analyse formative assessment challenges facing English Language (L2) Secondary school teachers in the Makoni District of Zimbabwe. Data were collected from 25 English Language secondary school teachers pooled from 5 secondary schools in the Makoni District. The study utilised the pragmatic paradigm which allowed the use of the mixed methods approach. The study used the survey research design. Quantitative data were collected through questionnaires while qualitative data were collected through follow-up interviews, documents and non-participant observations. Cross-tabulations were used to present data which were then reported mainly in percentages. While most of the qualitative data were used to buttress findings established through the questionnaires, the other data were categorised into themes and analysed accordingly. Major challenges that were revealed by this study were that teachers used the teacher – centred approach, feedback given to pupils was not detailed, there was less time to assess appropriately and that teachers were not motivated to assess effectively. Remedial activities were not being carried out and that teachers’ training in assessment was not thorough. Shortage of teaching and learning resources and high teacher – pupil ratios were some of the challenges that teachers faced. There was lack of coordination of agencies involved in assessment and that assessment was examinations – oriented. Assessment policy formulation did not involve teachers and that most pupils were not motivated to learn. On the basis of these findings, the study recommended the provision of adequate teaching and learning resources, provision of appropriate pre-service and in – service training programs as well as involving the teachers in the formulation of assessment policies.

Tous les esclaves est-africains ont été appelés Madagascar par les termes génériques de « Makoa » ou « Masombika », qui ont continué à désigner leurs descendants. À l'Ouest de Madagascar, des vieux Makoa continuent de transmettre le souvenir de leurs ancêtres venus d'au-delà des mers. En suivant le fil de ces récits oraux, confrontés à diverses sources archivistiques, j'ai tenté de reconstituer l'histoire de la traversée de ces aïeux, de l'Afrique centrale de l'Est à la côte Ouest de Madagascar. Leur migration forcée s'est réalisée au cours de la seconde moitié du XIXe sied( dans un contexte où la traite des esclaves était considérée comme illégale. Dans l'Ouest malgache, les MakoE ou Masombika ont connu des situations juridiques et des conditions sociales différentes. La pluralité de leurs stratégies individuelles et collectives, en contexte d'esclavage et de post-esclavage, illustre le caractère hétérogène du groupe. Des facteurs de cohésion liaient toutefois les Makoa, qui ont parlé à Madagascar une seule et même langue, importée du MozambiqueWhile Madagascar had been exporting slaves for centuries, in the nineteenth century, the Big Island began to import massively slaves from East Africa. Ail African slaves were called by the generic terms of "Makoa" or "Masombika" which continued to nominate their descendants in Madagascar. In the West, old Makoa inhabitants continue to transmit the memory of their ancestors who came from beyond the seas. Following the course of these oral narratives, faced with various archivai sources, I tried to reconstruct the history of the crossing of these ancestors, from East Africa to the West coast o Madagascar. Their forced migration was carried out during the second half of the nineteenth century, when the slave trade was considered illegal. In western Madagascar, the Makoa or Masombika experienced different legal situations and social conditions. The plurality of their individual and collective strategies, in context of slavery and post-slavery, illustrates the heterogeneity of the group. However, cohesion factors linked the Makoa, who spoke in Madagascar a single language, imported from Mozambique

Full textAbstract:
This article, jointly written by Ashraf Abdelhay and Sinfree Makoni, lays out a series of critical reflections on the discourses of language anxiety that characterise Arabic as a ‘threatened language’. Examining Arabic as a site of social contestation in the Sudan, Abdelhay and Makoni analyse three statements that express a specific set of ideas and social attitudes about language, identity and society. The first statement was made at a rally by President Bashir a few weeks before the southern referendum held in 2011. The second statement comes from an article written by the Sudanese journalist Hussein Khojali. Finally, the third statement is a metalinguistic commentary made by the late South Sudanese leader John Garang de Mabior. Despite the different contexts surrounding their statements and the differences between them, Abdelhay and Makoni demonstrate that all three statements are metalinguistic commentaries which bring language to the fore as a proxy for articulating wider social and political concerns. All statements are ideological; they all link language with the extra-linguistic world of identity politics and power. The authors thus conclude that in contexts of conflict, individuals display awareness of the indexical values of language, ‘and they exploit the symbolism of language to articulate social and political issues’.

Full textAbstract:
The Community Health Club (CHC) Model in Makoni District, Zimbabwe operated 265 CHCs with 11,600 members from 1999 to 2001 at a cost of US$0.63 per beneficiary per annum. A decade later, 48 CHCs were started in three districts in Vietnam with 2,929 members at a cost of US$1.30. Hygiene behaviour change was compared using a similar survey of observable proxy indicators in both projects, before and after intervention. In Vietnam there was a mean of 36% change in 16 observable proxy indicators (p > 0.001) which compared positively with Makoni where there was a mean of 23% hygiene change in 10 indicators (p > 0.001). In Vietnam, 8 Health Centers reported a reduction of 117 cases of diarrhoeal diseases in CHC communes, compared to only 24 in non-CHC communes in one year; in 8 Health Centers in Makoni, Zimbabwe, a reduction of 1,219 reported cases over a 2–9 year period was reported, demonstrating the efficacy of CHC both in African and Asian context. We suggest that regular government data of reported cases at clinics may be a more reliable method than self-reported diarrhoea by carers in clustered-Randomised Control Trials, which have surprised practitioners by finding negligible impact of WASH interventions on diarrhoea in rural communities.

Owing to the highly competitive and volatile business environment, companies in the West African markets face significant challenges. This study was conducted to examine the challenges faced in the marketplace in Ghana by successful entrepreneurs. Accra was intentionally sampled for the analysis of four successful entrepreneurs from the Makola market. Findings revealed that access to finance, high competition, instability in macroeconomic indicators, poor management competences, lack of skilled labor and deficiencies in marketing strategies are the major factors confronting the survival of entrepreneurs in the marketplace. The results provide insights into the important and current challenges facing entrepreneurs in the informal sectors. Recommendations were made to help overcome the challenges faced by business people in their operations.

Full textAbstract:
Die enorme und scheinbar immer weiter zunehmende „Heterogenität“ unter den Kindern lässt unter vielen Lehrkräften, aber auch unter einigen Wissenschaftlern/innen Zweifel aufkommen, ob ein inklusives Lernen im Regelunterricht gelingen kann. Um hierauf jedoch eine begründete Antwort geben zu können, ist es notwendig, verschiedene Perspektivebenen des komplexen Systems „(Inklusiver) Unterricht“ zu betrachten und diese einzeln sowie – was entscheidend ist – im Gesamtsystem sachlich-konstruktiv zu werten. In diesem Beitrag geht es um ein dementsprechendes Hinterfragen von Gelingensfaktoren für einen inklusiven Mathematikunterricht in der Grundschule. Ausgehend von einer potenzialorientierten Sicht auf Inklusive Bildung ist der Hauptfokus dabei zunächst auf geeignete Aufgaben für einen inklusiven Mathematikunterricht gerichtet, weil Aufgaben eine „Schlüsselrolle“ für jegliche Lernaktivitäten von Schüler/innen im Mathematikunterricht spielen. Aus potenzialorientierter Sicht, wonach Unterricht prinzipiell vorrangig aus einer kindorientierten Perspektive betrachtet werden sollte, erscheinen offene substanzielle Aufgaben mit Möglichkeiten zum forschend-produktiven Mathematiktreiben – entsprechend den jeweiligen individuellen Lernvoraussetzungen jeder Schülerin bzw. jedes Schülers – besonders geeignet. Dieser Ansatz spiegelt auch einen aktuellen Trend in der deutschen Mathematikdidaktik wider (vgl. z.B. Benölken, Dexel & Berlinger, 2018; Fuchs, 2015; Häsel-Weide & Nührenbörger, 2017; Käpnick, 2016). Eine konkrete Aufgabenidee für ein solches mathematisch-produktives Forschen verdanken wir Marianne Nolte. Sie schlug uns vor vielen Jahren im Rahmen eines gemeinsamen Ideenaustausches zu geeigneten Aufgaben für die Förderung mathematisch begabter Grundschulkinder das Erforschen von 4x4-Sudoku-Quadraten vor. Wir haben diese schöne Idee seitdem vielfach in unseren Projektgruppen zur Förderung von mathematisch begabten Drittklässlern/innen (im Projekt „Mathe für kleine Asse“, zum Konzept z.B. Käpnick, 2008) wie auch von Kindern mit Rechenproblemen (im Projekt „MaKosi“, d.h. „Mathematische Kompetenzen sichern“, zum Konzept Benölken, 2016) an der Universität Münster eingesetzt – stets erfolgreich und wir haben dabei immer wieder neue kreative Lösungsideen von Kindern mit sehr verschiedenen Leistungspotenzialen erfahren. Dies soll im Folgenden anhand authentischer Eigenproduktionen von Kindern dokumentiert werden. Ausgehend von Impressionen dieser vermeintlich „kontrastierenden“ Gruppen, die den Nutzen offener substanzieller Problemfelder für einen potenzial- und damit kindorientierten inklusiven Mathematikunterricht aufzeigen können (siehe auch Nolte & Pamperien, 2016; Hirt & Wälti, 2014), werden anschließend Querbezüge zu anderen wichtigen Gelingensbedingungen für einen inklusiven Mathematikunterricht hergestellt.

Abstract There are 26 sedimentary basins in Asia divided into four categories on the basis of hydrocarbon prospectivity. A total of about 3.14 million square kilometres area is covered by these sedimentary basins which includes both onshore and offshore. One of the most prominent category-1 (commercially producing) basin of Asia is XXX basin with an estimated hydrocarbon potential of about 1130 million metric tonnes. It covers an area of 15000 square kilometres onshore and about 25000 square kilometrs offshore, upto a water depth of about 1000 m (National Data Repository, DGH-MoPNG, GOI). It is believed that Asia relies heavily on XXX Basin for its energy security. However, one of the major challenges being faced in the XXX Basin offshore field development is Flow Assurance. Since most of the fields offshore basin are in deepwater setting, high pressure and low temperature conditions aggravate flow assurance problems. Flow assurance is identified as a significant deepwater offshore development challenges and hence has emerged as a prominent discipline in the oil and gas industry. There are several definitions of Flow Assurance, one of the most common of which is: Flow Assurance is the analysis of thermal, hydraulic and fluid related threats to flow and product quality and their mitigation using equipment, chemicals and procedure (Makogon T.Y., 2019). It can be understood as an all-encompassing holistic approach of fluid flow from the reservoir to point of sale with an integrated perspective of asset development. In simple terms flow assurance aims to ensure fluid flow irrespective of flow trajectory, fluid chemistry and environmental conditions (Brown L.D., 2002). It has become increasingly important in recent times as the industry has turned to deepwater resources for energy sources. There are multiple examples where the proper utilization of Flow Assurance technology has saved billions of dollars for oil and gas companies. Norske Shell saved approximately 30 billion NOK in the Troll field by resorting to direct electrical heating of produced fluids. The same was utilized by Italian company ENI for its Goliath development and by BP in its Skarv field (Makogon T.Y., 2019). This paper describes a comprehensive workflow to identify and mitigate flow assurance risks for the deepwater block in XXX Basin.

Gas hydrates are solid substances consisting of water and gas which are stable under high pressure and low temperature conditions. After Davy discovered chlorine hydrate in 1810, gas hydrates from natural gas were found to be the reason for gas pipeline plugging in 1934 by Hammerschmidt. In 1965, the Russian scientist Makogon discovered natural gas hydrate deposits. This was the beginning of research in the geological occurrence of the gas hydrates. Today, hundreds of gas hydrate wells for exploration have been drilled all over the world in the permafrost and deep sea regions. Several big projects for gas hydrate research and exploration have been financed by Japan, India, Korea, China and the USA. It is assumed that the amount of carbon in natural gas hydrates is twice the amount present in oil, gas and coal together. This makes them interesting as a future energy source. To drill into horizontal layers filled with gas hydrates in the pores, directional wells are needed. To achieve an adequate cutting transport, a high performance drilling fluid has to be used instead of sea water. The drilling fluid must be able to keep the gas hydrate reservoir stable while drilling and prevent the formation of secondary gas hydrates in the liquid. Moreover, the gas hydrate cuttings should not dissociate on their way to the surface. To avoid altering of the drilling fluid due to water and gas produced as a result of gas hydrate dissociation, cuttings should be kept stable to separate them from the fluid like any other rock cuttings by the surface equipment. To prevent gas hydrate formation, thermodynamic inhibitors, like salt, glycols or methanol are used. Also, kinetic inhibitors are added to the drilling fluid to prevent gas hydrate agglomeration and formation for a period of time. Well known kinetic inhibitors are polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polyvinylcaprolactam (PVCap). Although ethylene glycol (EG) is seen as a thermodynamic inhibitor for gas hydrates, it is shown in this study that it is able to stabilize methane hydrate significantly. For the investigation, a high pressure cell with pressures up to 8.5 MPa was used. The equilibrium point of methane hydrate was detected. Solutions with PVP, PEG, hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC), Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and a kinetic inhibitor containing EG were tested (concentrations from 1 to 10 wt.‰). PVP, PEG and HEC could not stabilize gas hydrates at the test condition. SDS showed both a stabilizing and promoting effect. EG can significantly stabilize gas hydrates.

Agronomic performance and farmer preferences for biofortified orange-fleshed sweetpotato varieties in Zimbabwe. International Potato Center, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.4160/9789290605669.
Full textAbstract:
This report summarizes the findings of a study carried out to evaluate the agronomic performance and sensory acceptance by small holder farmers of six biofortified orange-fleshed sweetpotato (OFSP) varieties that were first introduced from CIP’s sweetpotato breeding hub for Southern Africa in Mozambique. The study was participatory and carried out under different agroecological environments in Zimbabwe. The six OFSP varieties, namely Alisha, Victoria, Delvia, Sumaia, Namanga and Irene were planted in the 2019/20 agricultural season along with two non-biofortified white-fleshed local varieties, namely Chingova and German II, at seven DR&SS research stations (Kadoma, Marondera, Harare, Henderson, Gwebi, Makoholi and Panmure) and 120 farmer managed on-farm trial sites in 12 LFSP districts of Bindura, Gokwe North, Gokwe South, Guruve, Kwekwe, Makoni, Mazowe, Mount Darwin, Mutasa, Mutare, Shurugwi and Zvimba. At all but one of the research stations, two trials were set up, one under irrigation and the other under rain-fed conditions. On-farm trials were established following the Mother-Baby Trial approach with 2 mother trials and 8 baby trials per district. In each of the districts, one mother trial was planted under irrigation while the other was rain-fed. All the baby trials were rain-fed.
