Historical Survey of Limmu Genet Town from Its Foundation up to Present
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 6, ISSUE 07, JULY 2017 ISSN 2277-8616 Historical Survey Of Limmu Genet Town From Its Foundation Up To Present Dagm Alemayehu Tegegn Abstract: The process of modern urbanization in Ethiopia began to take shape since the later part of the nineteenth century. The territorial expansion of emperor Menelik (r. 1889 –1913), political stability and effective centralization and bureaucratization of government brought relative acceleration of the pace of urbanization in Ethiopia; the improvement of the system of transportation and communication are identified as factors that contributed to this new phase of urban development. Central government expansion to the south led to the appearance of garrison centers which gradually developed to small- sized urban center or Katama. The garrison were established either on already existing settlements or on fresh sites and also physically they were situated on hill tops. Consequently, Limmu Genet town was founded on the former Limmu Ennarya state‘s territory as a result of the territorial expansion of the central government and system of administration. Although the history of the town and its people trace many year back to the present, no historical study has been conducted on. Therefore the aim of this study is to explore the history of Limmu Genet town from its foundation up to present. Keywords: Limmu Ennary, Limmu Genet, Urbanization, Development ———————————————————— 1. Historical Background of the Study Area its production. The production and marketing of forest coffee spread the fame and prestige of Limmu Enarya ( The early history of Limmu Oromo Mohammeed Hassen, 1994). The name Limmu Ennarya is The history of Limmu Genet can be traced back to the rise derived from a combination of the name of the medieval of the Limmu Oromo clans, which became kingdoms or state of Ennarya and the Oromo clan name who settled in states along the Gibe river basin. -

Some of the offsite problems are silting of dams and reservoir, disruption of lake ecosystems, and increased downstream flooding. Gilgel Gibe-1 catchment has been also subjected to sedimentation and other offsite problems. This study was aimed to identify the source of sediment yield in Gilgel Gibe-1 catchment using GIS-based RUSLE and SEDD models for soil conservation planning. Primary and secondary data from different sources were used to estimate soil loss from the catchment using GIS-based RUSLE model. Rainfall-runoff erosivity, soil erodibility, topographic effect, surface coverage, and land management practice of the catchment were used as an input to RUSLE model. Sediment Delivery Ratio was estimated using the SEDD model. The result of this study shows the mean annual soil loss of the catchment is 62.98 t ha -1year -1 which are about 26.56x106 t year -1 and the mean sediment delivery ratio is 0.1367. The mean annual sediment yield of the catchment is 8.61t ha -1year -1 and the overall catchment area contributes about 3.63x106t year -1sediment to the reservoir at the dam site. -

Journal of Reproduction and Infertility 7 (2): 47-62, 2016 ISSN 2079-2166 © IDOSI Publications, 2016 DOI: 10.5829/idosi.jri.2016.7.2.102165 Characterization of Livestock Production System in Three Selected Districts of Jimma Zone, Southwest Ethiopia 12Mohammed Husen, Yisehak Kechero and 3Meseret Molla 1Ethiopian Agricultural Transformation Agency, P.O. Box: 708, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 2Department of Animal Sciences, Arba Minch University, Arba Minch, Ethiopia 3Department of Animal Sciences, Jimma University, P.O. Box: 307, Jimma, Ethiopia Abstract: The cross-sectional field survey was conducted in three selected districts of Jimma zone with the aim of characterizing the prevailing livestock production systems as well as identifying the major constraints and opportunities in relation to livestock production. The study districts were selected based on their livestock production potential and accessibility. Accordingly, 122, 188 and 104 households (HHs) from Kersa, Omo Nada and Tiro Afeta districts, respectively were participated in the study. The respondent HHs were purposively selected depending on their livestock keeping experience. This study revealed that livestock production systems in the three districts were mixed crop-livestock production system which is totally based on the indigenous livestock breeds with no improved input and low output. The average number of livestock in terms of tropical livestock units (TLU) in the three districts was 5.10±0.32/HH, which varied significantly (P<0.01) between the districts. Overall, the herd structure comprised of cattle (4.74±0.24 TLU/HH) (P<0.05), sheep (0.10±0.01 TLU/HH), goats (0.06±0.01 HH), donkey (0.07±0.02 TLU/HH) (P<0.05), horses (0.05±0.02 TLU/HH) and mule (0.06±0.03 TLU/HH). -

Forsidoac, Tefera Belachewb and Oliver Henselc a Department of Post-Harvest Management, College of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, Jimma University, Jimma, Ethiopia b Department of Population and Family Health, Nutrition Unit, College of Public Health and Medical Sciences, Jimma University, Jimma, Ethiopia c Department of Agricultural and Bioprocess Engineering, Faculty of Organic Agricultural Sciences, University of Kassel, Witzenhausen, Germany Introduction Maternal and child undernutrition is amongst the major challenges of our times. It has been on the global agenda as central to health, sustainable development, and progress (Black et al., 2008). Maternal and child undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies affect approximately half of the world’s population. The human, social and economic costs to society at large are enormous in terms of lost productivity, health, and well-being, decreased learning ability and reduced fulfilment of human potential (Ahmed, Hossain, & Sanin, 2012). Mothers from low-income settings are amongst the most vulnerable to undernutrition because their body’s nutrient reserve is severely affected due to frequent pregnancies and lactation (Haileslassie, Mulugeta, & Girma, 2013). According to UNICEF’s conceptual framework of undernutrition, inadequate dietary intake is an immediate cause of maternal and child undernutrition (Black et al., 2008). The study area, Jimma zone, is year round green but unfortunately characterized by household food insecurity (Belachew et al., 2013) and information on the diversity, composition and nutrient adequacy of diets consumed by mothers during lactation period is lacking.
