A statistical analysis and hypothesis testing was carried out on the randomly selected samples from experimental results of the ‘XRF’ analysis and sequential extraction of soils contaminated with lead using lead nitrate of known amount. Looking at our previous experimental results, we found that the concentration of the solid contaminated samples: OL S 1-2, & OL S 3-2 ( 2,080.26, & 2,080.41mg/kg) respectively in that order are very close to the concentration of lead also obtained using the ‘XRF’ analysis for the liquid solutions obtained from the sequential extraction procedures of soil samples: ‘OL S 1-2, & 32 as ( 2,110mg/kg, & 2,090mg/kg) respectively in that order. An hypothesis testing was conducted within the underlying assumptions based on the null hypothesis and our claim for equal means. The p-value found was greater than the α-value, and also corroborating this fact, the t-statistics calculated absolute value is less than the critical value at the 5% significant level as presented and shown in our table of results. We can quite well agree from our previous results findings, and corroborated by the findings of the statistical testing, we can confident agree the results from the ‘XRF’ are reliable enough, without any need to do the sequential extraction for obtaining the concentrations.
利用已知量的硝酸铅，对“XRF”分析和铅污染土壤序贯提取实验结果中随机选取的样品进行统计分析和假设检验。根据我们之前的实验结果，我们发现固体污染样品的浓度:OL S 1-2和OL S 3-2(分别为2,0080.26和2,0080.41 mg/kg)与使用“XRF”分析从土壤样品的顺序提取过程中获得的液体溶液的铅浓度非常接近:OL S 1-2，和32 as(分别为2,110mg/kg和2,090mg/kg))。假设检验是在基于零假设和我们的主张的基本假设中进行的。发现的p值大于α值，同样证实了这一事实，如我们的结果表所示，t统计量计算的绝对值小于5%显著水平下的临界值。我们可以很好地同意我们之前的结果发现，并通过统计测试的结果证实，我们可以自信地同意从“XRF”的结果是足够可靠的，不需要做任何顺序提取来获得浓度。

To investigate the effects of Rural Land Tenure Plans (RLTP) on rural communities of Ouesse District, in the central part of Benin, an impact evaluation study was carried out. The methodological approach was based on the Double Difference (DD) method. Data was collected from 329 people distributed in 27 villages of Ouesse according to an appropriate territorial sampling based on specific criteria. A comparative analysis of these villages highlighted the impacts of RLTP on local communities. It results from this study that the implementation of the RLTP has partially met most of the local community’s expectations. In fact, the RLTP has contributed to reduce drastically settlement conflicts in all the beneficiary localities. In addition, land right clarification in some villages such as Kokoro, AgboroKombon, Agboro-Idouya, Botti-Houègbo has increased. The RLTP implementation has contributed also to facilitate land conflicts management, access to agricultural credit in Gbanlin’s vllage, access to agricultural land, and increasing the market value of land in villages such as Tosso, Gbanlin, Vossa, Toui-Center, Botti-Hougbo and Kokoro. However, the RLTP implementation has let profound discordance between allochthones and autochthones people.

Background: Little is known about the temporal relationships between reproductive hormones around oestrus and embryo survival in pigs. Some sows that have been inseminated and are transferred to the gestation units will return to oestrus either because they did not conceive at first service or because they abort during gestation. Aim: This study aims to investigate the effect of pig breeds on fertility rates of Southern African indigenous sows Methodologies: Mukota, Windsnyer and Kolbroek pigs’ breeds were subjected to sexual preparation procedures of 0MR, 5MR, 10MR, 15MR, 20MR and 25MR. Sows were inseminated with semen from sexually prepared boars and analysed for fertility rates. Results: Litter size was increased with the afternoon (14:30) protocols in all the breeds studied, with significantly (P˂0.05) highest improvement in Windsnyer breed. There were significant improvement in proportions of the litter size amongst experimental groups compared to control groups during the morning (08:30) and afternoon. Farrowing rate was observed higher in Kolbroek (87.50%) followed by Mukota (68.75%) and then Windsnyer (56.25%). Overall, the total average farrowing rate in Southern African indigenous pig breeds studied was observed to be at 70.83%. Total average weaning rate was observed in this at 87.50% for all studied breeds. Discussion: Reproductive traits are of major importance especially in dam breeds of pigs because the reproductive performance of sows is one of the major factors of the breed effectiveness in pig breeding. The breed type has an influence on the willingness of the animal to copulate. Conclusion: Litter size was recorded to have improved with the highest in all studied breeds following 10MR in the afternoon. Moreover, farrowing and weaning rates improved with Mukota recording the highest followed by Kolbroek then Windsnyer.

Investigations were conducted to evaluate the antifungal activities of the essential oils of Eucalyptus saligna, Cymbopogon citratus and Cupressus lusitanica collected from the locality of Dschang, West region of Cameroon against Rigidoporus lignosus (clone GT1) causative agent of root rubber trees rot. The agar well diffusion method was used to evaluate fungal growth inhibition at various concentrations. The obtained results showed that essential oils of of Eucalyptus saligna, Cymbopogon citratus and Cupressus lusitanica found to be inhibitory to Rigidoporus lignosus. The antifungal activity of these essential oils were varied significantly depending on plant species. Eucalyptus saligna and Cupressus lusitanica essential oils completely suppressed de growth of Rigidoporus lignosus at 5000 ppm with fungicide effect for Eucalyptus saligna. However Cymbopogon citratus essential oil has been more active than the other two and also showed a fungicide effect at 500 ppm. From these results, it can be concluded that the essential oil from the leaves of C. citratus may be rich in antifungal compounds which possess considerable antifungal properties. It is a good alternative to harmful chemical pesticides and can be effectively used to control growth of Rigidoporus lignosus.

This study analyzed the environmental factors affecting rural livelihood diversification in Adamawa State, Nigeria. The data used for the analysis were generated from 360 respondents, using multi-stage random sampling procedure. The analytical tools used were descriptive (frequencies and percentages) and inferential statistics (Tobit regression). The descriptive statistics were used in categorizing the respondents on the basis of their socio-economic characteristics. Tobit regression was employed to determine the environmental factors affecting livelihood diversification. The major findings were that: the frequency of natural disasters (X1) and season of the year (X5) were positive and significant for livelihood diversification at 5% level of significance. The number of natural resources (X3) available in an environment was positive and significant for livelihood diversification at 1% level of significance. The distance between state headquarters, local government headquarters and major towns (X2) and where a respondent lives was found to be not significant. Similarly, distance between markets (X4) and where a respondent lives was also found to be not significant for livelihood diversification. It was concluded that the number of natural disasters that occur and the number of natural resources available in the study area are strong factors that affect livelihood diversification. It was recommended, among others, that the prevailing environmental factors in a given area should be considered at the planning stages for any rural development or empowerment projects meant for livelihood diversification. Livelihood diversification opportunities should be made available and possible during dry season periods in the study area.

Nowadays, more than ever before, the intense agricultural activity, the increasing industrial development, the increasing urbanization, the overexploitation of the aquifers have leaded in the degradation of the quality of groundwater and soil resources. The heavy metals play a great role because they are not disintergrated, but remain in the upper soil layer with high absorption from the plants and the human causing major problems. This paper presents the heavy metal concentration values, the spatial distribution of them as well as the correlation among these elements with the aim of pointing out the water degradation and the soil deterioration in the Mesogeia Valley. For this reason, 86 water and 42 soil samples, taken from the study area, were tested by atomic absorption spectroscopy and the heavy metal values were determined. The results were statistically analyzed and groundwater and soil resources quality was described. The results of this study constitute a basis for the necessary protection steps that need to be taken to prevent any further degradation of the areas’ natural resources.

Effect of climate change through season of birth was carried out to evaluate some reproductive and productive performance of mountain goat (Taggar goats). Forty seven (47) mature Taggar goats were used in this experiment. Animals were allocated in two groups according to season of birth, rainy season and dry season. The results indicated that rainy season kidders secured higher litter size 1.45 compared with dry season kidders 1.18. Where kidding rate was high in rainy season kidders 100% compared with dry season kidders. Body weight was heavier at kidding and weaning time for rainy season kidders compared with dry season kidders. The kidding interval and service period for the rainy season kidders shorter compared with dry season kidders. In conclusion the season of birth was sharply affected goat reproductive and productive performance.

With the increasing number of organizations in the XXI century and against a background of rapid changes arising from the globalization process which affect the organizations as a whole, there have been changes in employment relationships, habits and even in the very culture of the organization, triggering conflicts between leaders and their employees. Within the labor world, every profession has its own characteristics and peculiarities which deserve special attention, as is the case of professionals working in the Fluvial Merchant Marine. They work on board vessels, in confined spaces, in some cases for several days consecutively, in a total isolated environment where rest itself occurs in the workspace without family or social life. This makes the vessel an atypical place to work which may generate interference with the right organizational climate. The purpose of this paper is to verify the threats and the opportunities of the organizational atmosphere in which the crew of a vessel are inserted, analyzing the well-being and the safety of officers on board. This study was carried out by means of the results obtained from a questionnaire applied to the river sailors and its comparison with the organizational climate seen in situ.

With the objective of identifying potential parental breeds for breeding, a total of 81 multivoltine silkworm germplasm stocks conserved at Central Sericultural Germplasm Resources Centre, Hosur were evaluated in three replications by rearing in five crops during different seasons of the year. Data on the performance was collected and assessed for 12 quantitative traits of economic importance by employing multiple trait evaluation index method. Significant variations among the multivoltine breeds were observed and based on higher Evaluation Index values for economic parameters, the better performing breeds viz., BMI-023, BMI-080 and BMI-081 with higher values in more traits have been identified as promising breeds. The results of the study lay emphasis on utilization of these breeds expressing higher E. I. values in more number of quantitative traits for further breeding and large scale trials.
