Ethiopia - Science topic

Hi there,

looking for research regarding the East African Rift, measuring its impact on weather patterns, floodings etc., and its stability properties.

I found a research topic on knowledge sharing using social capital on Bank Y in USA. Can I do the same research topic - knowledge sharing using social capital in Bank X in Ethiopia. The two banks are different in level of technology use, appreciation of knowledge sharing, the business context economic development, etc. Can this research be publishable to a journal article as original work?

Is there anybody suggest or describe this maize disease (cause) or Deficiency of minerals? This days common on some maize farmers in Ethiopia.

Thank you!

I want to analyze an interrupted time series analysis to see the change of service coverage and other health impacts like maternal and child death due to the war in Tigray, Ethiopia. How can I do this? is there anyone who can help me by sending a good reference material? is there anyone interesting to be co-authored with me?

A Researcher is conducting their research at different level maybe on less important plant diseases, any one who can tell me the most important pathogens of any crop in Ethiopia: Preferably on Economically important crop?

List them minimum: 1-5

- There is a fast-paced land-use change (urbanization) in one of the sub-watersheds (dominantly agricultural watershed) of the upper Blue Nile basin.

- There is both residential and industrial expansion that may have an impact on the riverine regime of the catchment including water quality.

- There is also currently an effort being made by the local sector to regulate the water flow (mainly the flood during the main rainy season) for irrigation purposes to enhance the agricultural productivity in that area.

- Hence, it calls to research the WFE nexus to come up with a better synergy between the health of the ecosystem and development.

i am working on my doctoral dissertation on work-family balance of working women in Ethiopia. and then i could not access the full version of Valcour's scale for work-family balance. so that i will have detailed information about the scoring and other procedures of using the scale.

We have been preparing predictive soil property (sand, Silt, Clay, pH and EC of the top soil) maps for an area (about 60 km2) using Digital soil mapping techniques in R with random forest in Southern Ethiopia. About 33 covariates were used. The results revealed that the R squared values for instance for clay fraction of the top soil is negative and very small (-0.12). Can R square values be negative? If so, what are the implications of such results?

Research has been performed on the history of coffee (plantation, trade, consumption) in modern times, but little seems available with regards prehistoric times. I am aware of just one paper by Hilderbrand, et al. (2010) - https://www.jstor.org/stable/40930991 - which mentions two partial seeds of Coffea arabica found at Kumali rockshelter in southwest Ethiopia in layers dated after 1740 BP.

Is there any other research available?

Dear colleagues,

Actually, I have two files with two different resolutions and I am looking for a code (Python, Matlab, R) to estimate the correlation coefficient, Bias and statistical indices between a specific point and its nearest point in the other file. I will be thankful for any help.

Thanks in advance

Dear colleagues,

Actually, I am looking such discharge data for any stations in Sobat river basin and the White Nile basin, as well.

I will be thankful if someone can share it with me.

I was gathering data about Arsi University Bekoji campus, and I observed something about the city planning. On the right side of the google image (in 2019), you can see the new urban development, and on the left side, what is most probably agricultural villages and Greenfield. The new urban development follows one of the typical city plannings I have seen all over Ethiopia, which follows a grid pattern to arrange the urban blocks and in contrast, the Greenfield has its own block pattern, which I think is the result of the social, cultural, and historical way of arranging plot of lands. It shows the trails of what is left of the ‘traditional planning.’ My whole point here is, why don’t the city planners appreciate and try to incorporate the traditional/ unexplored knowledge into the planning. That way, each city can have a unique experience and preserve the inhabitants’ lifestyle. Of course, my assumptions might be wrong, so if you are from, visited, or lived in Arisi, I would like to know what you think? Or let me know what you think about the planning ? About Arsi: Location: Bekoji, Arsi zone, Oromia region, Ethiopia Population as of 2015: 181, 906 Built-up area: 0.76 sq. km google map: https://lnkd.in/g74-VAm5 #arsi #bekoji #arsiuniversity #agriculturalvillages #savetraditionalplannings

Early civilisations, including Ethiopia, have been found in sub-Saharan Africa but dating back to early Christian times. I suspect little money and effort has been expended to find more within homo sapiens original home, certainly compared to the money spent on the search for ancient human fossils.

Simple assumptions, prejudice or the need to redefine civilisation? While the previous term is employed for settlements or cities, these are further defined as ones of stone or brick. Usually, they exhibited the same structural or design qualities with large central buildings and defined areas of settlement based on class.

In Central Asia at the time of the early great Sumerian cities like Uruk, a huge Kurgan complex of tents existed. Archaeologists and historians do not of course refer to it as a civilisation, at least in the same way they reference Sumeria.

If some attempt is made, will we find huge settlements of mud huts covering wide areas throughout the region? Will we also discover writing?

My post today is directed to registered nurses from Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa.

I am interested in collecting research data from the African countries listed above. Thus, I would like to collaborate with one nurse from each of these countries. The nurse will be responsible for coordinating the data collection in the country and all the logistics related to that country. In return, the nurse will get more research experience and payment or research experience and co-authorship in the resulting publications.

The population will be women who have undergone mastectomy and those who are scheduled to undergo mastectomy. This means that you must be working in a healthcare facility that offers such surgical services.

Please send a direct message to my inbox if you are interested. We will discuss the details of the study if you are ready, willing, and eligible.

Please share with your contacts.

Thank you!

Why do you think is the reason that the American government interference with the inhouse affairs of independent countries such as Ethiopia?

I see repeated interferences from the side of America with the different cases of independent countries such as Ethiopia. Is it really viable to do so? Is there a viable reason for Americans to do so? Is that not unethical to interfere with matters of independent nations?

I found this policy recommendation, ''In order to avoid slum expansion, the urban land laws have to be revised and the land ownership right has to be partially transferred to individuals. Currently, illegal selling of land is rampant as the landholders afraid the government will take the land anytime, against their will. This has created illegal land grabbing, slum expansion, pollution, and loss of agricultural capacity. Therefore, legalizing land sales, controlling the process, and preparation proper land-use plans will eliminate the problem from the root. The government will also collect tax from the sale. It will also support the landholder to use their land as collateral for a construction loan for the building project. However, as land is the main source of income for the government, transferring fully might affect the financial and decision-making capacity of the government. Therefore, I recommend partially transferring the land resource to individuals. The amount of land to be owned by individuals can be regulated by law so that a fair amount of land can be distributed to citizens''.

I am using ArcMap 10.3 for making a map of study locations for researches I conducted. I recently wanted to add the agro-ecological zonation of the locations on the map, but I can not able to do so because this item is not found in the shapefile I do have. I would be grateful if somebody can share with me his skill in how it is processed.

In 2019, the World Bank conducted research on the public service organizations in Ethiopia and found that there is a problem in service delivery by the government institutions. In this respect, improving the performance of a pubic institution is strategic and relevant. So, we need collaboration to work with international universities on the issue.

Lead is most dangerous to children, especially those under six. According to CDC nearly one half of a million children living in the United States have levels of lead in their blood that exceed ten micrograms of lead per deciliter of blood, a level at which adverse health effects are known to occur. Lead poisoning can affect virtually every body system; it can damage a child’s central nervous system, kidneys, and reproductive system. Why lead is most dangerous to children? and how can we prevent it?

Hello pro. I am zerihun from Ethiopia (Addis Ababa University), microbial ecologist. h

I have question, is there any means to sequence plant associated plant growth promoting bacteria and fungal isolates in your laboratory? as collaborative work.

these strategies have been addressed for about two decades in Ethiopia but the results received from all these attempts are very discouraging. Some Ethiopian scholars have been doing research on the possible reasons behind the problem and suggested solutions accordingly. In spite of all these attempts, we failed to get a viable solution to the existing problem. So, the problem still exists in its exaggerated form. Is there anyone who can advise me about the possible solutions that could boost-up the effective implementation of the two strategies in the Ethiopian context as a developing nation, please?

Dears,

I am looking for a ground-truth data set collected in Ethiopia during the last 3 years that I could use to calibrate a supervised classification (e.g. with Random Forest) processing satellite images (most likely Sentinel-2 given the geography).

The ideal data set would be a georeferenced vector file (e.g. KML, ESRI - Shapefile) containing points or polygons (even better) with the identification of the crop.

Thanks in advance for your support.

Best,
