ABSTRACT The study sought to ascertain the adverse effects of consanguinity among Muslim parents of Aligarh city located in western Uttar Pradesh in India. More than 478 families were visited and data were collected from only 100 of them being inbred to varying degrees of consanguinity. It was found that increasing degree of consanguinity decreases fertility (R2 = 0.2671, r = -0.1568), but increases mortality (R2 = 0.3161, r = 0.5622). Selection intensity (R2 = 0.1734, r = 0.4164) and secondary sex ratio (R2 = 0.3757, r = 0.6129) also go up as the degree of consanguinity increases. However, the genomic basis of Runs of Homozygosity (ROH) is a more accurate method of calculating homozygosity. Next Generation Sequencing may help better understand ROH and their utility as a tool for inbreeding detection. To avoid the inbreeding load, there is a need to raise public awareness of reproductive health and the potential negative effects of consanguinity.
本研究旨在确定位于印度北方邦西部的阿里加尔市穆斯林父母的血缘关系的不利影响。研究人员访问了478个家庭,仅收集了其中100个不同程度近亲繁殖的家庭的数据。结果表明,亲缘关系越高,生育力越低(R2 = 0.2671, r = -0.1568),死亡率越高(R2 = 0.3161, r = 0.5622)。选择强度(R2 = 0.1734, r = 0.4164)和第二性比(R2 = 0.3757, r = 0.6129)也随亲缘关系的增加而增加。然而,纯合子的基因组基础(run of Homozygosity, ROH)是一种更准确的纯合子计算方法。下一代测序可能有助于更好地了解ROH及其作为近交检测工具的用途。为了避免近亲繁殖负担,有必要提高公众对生殖健康和近亲关系潜在负面影响的认识。

ABSTRACT Libraries play a vital role in SDGs implementation by enhancing access to relevant information. It is on this premise that this paper evaluates the impact of libraries towards realising the sustainable development goals (SDGs). A synopsis of the functions, roles and impact of librarians as well as discussions on the paradigm shift of libraries from performing the roles of information custodians of information resources to harbingers of initiatives that are new and technologically-advanced, and its positive effects on service delivery and accomplishment of SDGs are discussed. The reviewed literaturewere a selection of Library and Information Science publications as well as other relevant academic journal articles ranging from 2010-2019. This paper also recommends measures geared towards the attainment of SDGs through librarianship, such as continuous capacity development programmes as well as the need to update library and information management curricula especially in African higher educational institutions.

Joint Forest Management (JFM) is a programme that aims to manage the forests of India and to socio-economically develop the forest-fringe communities. A study on JFM was conducted in some forest-fringe villages of Jungle Mahals region of West Bengal. The main objective of the study was to see how JFM is functioning at present in those villages. It is revealed that the local forest department encourages the villagers to use, manage, protect and regulate the forest and its products. However, the villagers have some unfulfilled demands with the forest department. Furthermore, they cooperate with each other within the village but also are engaged in conflict with neighbouring villagers on the matter of the protection of forest and to access its resources. The paper suggests that the local forest department should negotiate with the local communities to resolve such conflicts and to make the JFM programme work more efficiently.

Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in South Africa has undergone major institutional, structural and curricular changes over the last twenty-seven years. At the centre of these changes lie skills mismatch and poor quality of graduates who have gone through Work Based Education (WBE) experience. This study was conducted on two campuses of one of the public TVET colleges in northern KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa. This mixed-method study used purposive sampling to identify the sample size of 21 participants, which comprised campus managers, senior lecturers and WBE champions. The findings revealed that the college management is failing to give necessary support to the implementers on the ground to carry out the WBE programme. Findings also revealed that the college management seems not to fully comprehend their role in enforcing compliance with the regulation guiding the WBE implementation. The need to strengthen ties with existing host employers and to recruit new host employers to address a serious shortage in graduate placement is evident. The study recommends that a clear vision for the implementation of WBE be prioritised and communicated to all stakeholders for effective implementation of the programme.

ABSTRACT The majority of the smallholder farmers mainly used clue implements. However, the extent to which they are determined to change such practice remains unknown. This paper investigates the smallholders’ willingness to pay (WTP) for tractor services, factors that affect the smallholders’ WTP for tractor services as well as factors that affect the amount of money the smallholder is willing to pay for tractor services. Multi-stage sampling technique was used to collect data from 280 respondents in the study area. The contingent valuation methodology was used to measure the smallholders’ WTP. Descriptive statistics and the double hurdle model were used to analyse the results. The majority of the smallholder farmers were willing to pay for tractor-use. Age, farm size and location affect the smallholder’ WTP for tractor services. Expenditure and location affect the amount of money willing to pay for tractor services by the smallholder. There is a prospective growth for hired tractor services business due to smallholders’ WTP. It was suggested that entrepreneurs should invest in the business of tractor hired services since the farmers were willing to pay for their services. More researchers should be done on how to sustain the smallholders’ demand and WTP for tractor services.

ABSTRACT The aim of the study was to assess the inter-generational differences in food and nutrient intake of three generations (grandparents, parents and children) living together. A cross-sectional survey assessed the food group and nutrient intake, changes in the intake over the years by using 24-hour dietary recall repeated over three days and focus group discussions. A total of 226 middle income families including 1,038 participants, grandparents (n=302), parents (n=423) and children (n=313) completed the diet survey. Focus group discussions with different generations explored the dietary transition over a period of time and the generation(s) responsible for menu related decisions. Children had significantly higher intake of cereals, other vegetables, sugars and fats as compared to their parents and grandparents (p<0.001) and highest mean percent adequacy of energy, protein and calcium (p<0.001). Information generated can be used to understand dynamics of food selection within a household and improve diet quality of all generations.

ABSTRACT The government of South Africa assisted beneficiaries with the establishment of projects to help alleviate poverty and create jobs in the country. Several projects were established amongst them: broiler production, vegetable production, and egg layer production. The focus of this study is on egg layer production. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of COVID-19 on the marketing of eggs in the Vhembe district of Limpopo province, South Africa. In this study, the research design, which involved investigating the effect of COVID-19 on the marketing of eggs during the pandemic in the Vhembe district, using qualitative and explorative research was employed. The study employed focus group discussions where 7 members of the project from a total of 3 projects were interviewed. Egg layer projects have experienced a market loss of eggs during the past three months, structured interviews were also carried out with 1 extension officer in the college of agriculture who is responsible for conducting training and monitoring of such projects. The coded data were then analyzed using Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS version 22). The egg layer projects were facing the low market return of egg sales because of competition with commercial farmers who bring the stock to the local market. In conclusion, it is presumed that the results of this study would lead to informed decisions by the department of agriculture in terms of arranging markets and making sure that the commercial farmers do not compete with the projects in terms of prices of eggs.

ABSTRACT Parasuicide is referred to as an apparent attempt at suicide without the actual intention of killing oneself. Its prevalence continues to increase at Brits District Hospital. The current study aimed to review the parasuicide cases presented at this hospital from 2013 to 2018. The hospital is located in Madibeng district, in the North-West Province of South Africa. The study results have painted a clear picture of parasuicide cases at Brits district hospital where the phenomenon was more often observed among young African females, who were single, unemployed, and with a secondary level of education. For most of them, it was the first attempt and mainly occurred in the months of January and February. Overdose of medication was the most common method used and a relationship problem remained the main reason that motivated the attempt.

ABSTRACT Due to the prevalence of poverty in Sub-Saharan African countries and Nigeria in particular, this paper seeks to investigate the influence of household endowments in reducing poverty among rural households in Ijebu-Jesa, Osun State. Using a multistage sampling approach, data was collected from 120 households and analysed using frequencies and percentages, Foster Greer and Thorbecke (FGT) index and logistic regression analysis. The result shows that the incidence of poverty among rural households is slightly pervasive (48.3%). It is also realised that gender, membership of the cooperative society, access to mobile, income, and household size are significant variables to explain the effect of the household endowment on poverty reduction. It is therefore recommended that the government should introduce policies aimed at facilitating the smooth establishment of cooperative associations in the study area and that tariffs on telecommunication should be subsidised to encourage more people to access and utilise mobile phones.
