  • Technological Gaps of Agricultural Extension: Mismatch Between Demand and Supply in North Gondar Zone, Ethiopia

Received 27 March, 2018; Accepted 30 April, 2018 This paper examines technological challenges of the agricultural extension in North Gondar Zone of Ethiopia. Understanding technological gaps in public agricultural extension helps to devise demand driven and compatible technologies to existing contexts of farmers. The study used cross sectional survey using quantitative and qualitative techniques. Data were generated from primary and secondary sources using household survey from randomly taken households, focus group discussions, key informant interview, observation and review of relevant documents and empirical works. The result of study shows that there are mismatches between needs of smallholders in crop and livestock production and available agricultural technologies delivered by public agricultural extension system. The existing agricultural technologies are limited and unable to meet the diverse needs of farm households. On the other hand, some of agricultural technologies in place are not appropriate to existing context because of top-down recommendations than need based innovation approaches.

  • Phenotypic Characterization of Indigenous Chicken Ecotypes in North Gondar Zone, Ethiopia
    Global Veterinaria 12 (3): 361-368, 2014 ISSN 1992-6197 © IDOSI Publications, 2014 DOI: 10.5829/idosi.gv.2014.12.03.76136 Phenotypic Characterization of Indigenous Chicken Ecotypes in North Gondar Zone, Ethiopia 12Addis Getu, Kefyalew Alemayehu and 3Zewdu Wuletaw 1University of Gondar, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Animal Production and Extension 2Bahir Dar University College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, Department of Animal Production and Technology 3Sustainable Land Management Organization (SLM) Bihar Dar, Ethiopia Abstract: An exploratory field survey was conducted in north Gondar zone, Ethiopia to identify and characterize the local chicken ecotypes. Seven qualitative and twelve quantitative traits from 450 chickens were considered. Chicken ecotypes such as necked neck, Gasgie and Gugut from Quara, Alefa and Tache Armacheho districts were identified, respectively. Morphometric measurements indicated that the body weight and body length of necked neck and Gasgie ecotypes were significantly (p < 0.01) higher than Gugut ecotypes except in shank circumstances. Sex and ecotype were the significant (p < 0.01) sources of variation for both body weights and linear body measurements. The relationship of body weight with other body measurements for all ecotypes in both sexes were highly significant (r = 0.67, p < 0.01). Some traits like wingspan, body length and super length (r = 0.64, P < 0.01) for males and for females (r = 0.59, P < 0.01) of necked neck chickens are significantly correlated with body weight. Therefore, highly correlated traits are the basic indicators for estimation of the continuous prediction of body weight of chicken. Identification and characterization of new genetic resources should be employed routinely to validate and investigate the resources in the country.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT The arrival of a Protestant mission in Ethiopia during the 1850s marks a turning point in the history of the Falashas. Up until this point, they lived relatively isolated in the country, unaffected and unaware of the existence of world Jewry. Following this period and especially from the beginning of the twentieth century, the attention of certain Jewish individuals and organisations was drawn to the Falashas. This contact initiated a period of external interference which would ultimately transform the Falashas, an Ethiopian phenomenon, into Ethiopian Jews, whose culture, religion and identity became increasingly connected with that of world Jewry. It is the purpose of this thesis to examine the external influences that implemented and continued the process of transformation in Falasha society which culminated in their eventual emigration to Israel.

En 2013 llevamos a cabo la primera prospección arqueológica y etnoarqueoló- gica del área. Durante nuestra investigación descubrimos tanto yacimientos prehistóricos como históricos. Por lo que se refiere a los primeros, se trata de áreas de dispersión de materiales líti- cos pertenecientes mayoritariamente a la Late Stone Age. Más relevante es el descubrimiento de un abrigo rocoso con pinturas esquemáticas, dada su rareza en la frontera etíope-sudanesa. La mayor parte de los yacimientos históricos son fuertes de piedra datados en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, la mayor parte de los cuales se reocuparon durante el periodo italiano (1936-1941). Desde el punto de vista de la etnoarqueología destaca el «descubrimiento» de un grupo étnico no documentado: los dats’in, hablantes de una lengua desconocida emparentada con el gumuz. Palabras clave: Late Stone Age (LSA), arte rupestre, Sudán turco-egipcio, colonialismo italiano, fuertes fronterizos, pueblos nilo-saharianos. Informes y trabajos 12 | Págs.

BMC Res Notes (2019) 12:273 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13104-019-4305-1 BMC Research Notes RESEARCH NOTE Open Access Spatial modeling, prediction and seasonal variation of malaria in northwest Ethiopia Asefa Adimasu Taddese, Adhanom Gebreegziabher Baraki* and Kassahun Alemu Gelaye Abstract Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the spatial modeling, seasonal variation of malaria and making prediction map of malaria in northwest Ethiopia. Results: The overall average cumulative annual malaria incidence during the study period was 30 per 100 popula- tions at risk. The highest proportion (29.2%) was observed from June 2015 to October 2016. In temporal analysis of clusters, the epidemic was observed from 2015/7/1 to 2016/12/31 throughout the study period in all districts. Hot- spot areas with high clusters (p < 0.001) were observed in Metema district it accounts 18.6% of the total malaria cases. An area of high median predicted incidence proportion (> 50%) was seen in the southwest part of the region. Most of the northern part of the study area was predicted to have a low median incidence proportion (< 10%). Keywords: Spatial analysis, Interpolation, Bayesian kriging, Clustering, Geostatistics modeling Introduction Malaria mosquitos are aggregated over large areas and Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease of time periods. Tere are few studies examining the extent humans caused by the genus Plasmodium, which are and drivers of local variation in malaria exposure. introduced into the circulatory system by the bite of an In geographical location, close proximity share com- infected female anopheles mosquito [1].

  • Chapter 22 Daatsʼíin, a Newly Identified Undocumented Language of Western Ethiopia: a Preliminary Examination Colleen Ahland SIL International
    Chapter 22 Daatsʼíin, a newly identified undocumented language of western Ethiopia: A preliminary examination Colleen Ahland SIL International Daatsʼíin is a heretofore unknown language spoken in western Ethiopia near the border with the Republic of Sudan. The Daatsʼíin people live in both Ethiopia and the Republic of Sudan but only those in Ethiopia still speak the Daatsʼíin language. The speakers of Daatsʼíin may number around 1,000 but may be as few as 300-500. This paper provides the first-ever overview of basic aspects of Daatsʼíin phonology, morphology and syntax. The overview documents that Daatsʼíin is structurally similar to the nearby Gumuz languages (of possible Nilo-Saharan affiliation) in many respects, including vocabulary, bound pronominals with a distinct tone for S versus A arguments, and incorporated nouns. However, there are a few differences, mainly in structure and certain tense-aspect categories of the verb word. 1 Introduction Daatsʼíin is the autonym of a people group living in western Ethiopia and the southern part of the Republic of Sudan. The Daats’íin in Sudan have lost their traditional language but those in Ethiopia still speak it. Up until 2013, the language and people group were unknown to researchers and not included in the Ethiopian Census. I traveled to the area in 2014 in order to investigate the language and confirmed that Daatsʼíin (ISO dtn) is distinct from but closely related to Gumuz (ISO guk).
