In this study, the CROPWAT 8.0 model was used to calculate the water needs of maize crops in Jowhar. The United Nations Food Agriculture Organization's decision-support computer software, CROPWAT 8.0, is used to calculate ETo, effective rainfall, crop water need (ETc), and irrigation requirements. Climate, soil, and crop data were obtained using FAO CLIMATWAT 2.0. ETo was calculated as 4.75 mm per day on a yearly basis.

Within the Moringaceae family, Moringa oleifera is a tree that grows quickly and can withstand drought. Some common names for the tree are horseradish, drumstick, wonder, ben oil, and just Moringa. The plant may thrive in a wide range of environments, even hostile ones. The plant is utilized as a natural integrator to treat malnutrition because of its high phytonutrient concentration. Primary and secondary metabolites from several types of organic substances are abundant in plants, according to phytochemical analyses of their organs.

Punica granatum L., commonly known as the pomegranate, is a fruit-bearing plant native to Iran and belonging to the Punicaceae family. Characterized by its large, globular berries containing numerous seeds enveloped in a juicy, edible pulp, pomegranate has been employed for centuries in various cultures to prevent and treat a multitude of health disorders, including inflammation, diabetes, diarrhea, dysentery, and dental plaque.

The genome availability for cichlid species of the subfamily Pseudocrenilabrinae, including Oreochromis niloticus can help develop robust molecular tools to address questions related to the conservation and management of O. niloticus in its invasive range and O. mossambicus in its natural range. The objectives of this study include (1) identifying the best candidate orthologous genes among Pseudocrenilabrinae using gene ontology and a dedicated filtering strategy, (2) mining coding sequences for these candidate genes from O.

Cowpea, Vigna unguiculata, has a prominent place in Senegal both for its nutritional benefits and for its suitability for adverse growing conditions. Studies were conducted on three cowpea genotypes with the objective of evaluating the effect of seed pretreatment with sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) and optimal water volume on cowpea germination rate. A completely randomized design with three replications was used with two factors: volume of water drenched, duration of soaking.

Nursing education thrives towards training nurses to enable them play their role in the professional health team to provide high quality services to society. This study was aimed at comparing the effect of Interactive and Traditional teaching strategies on Student Nurse’s Academic performance at Nursing Schools, Zamfara state. Quasi-experimental design of non equivalent was adopted with total of One hundred and twenty-nine students (129) recruited for the study. Purposive sampling technique was used access the participants for both study and control groups.

Global warming and carbon dioxide emissions are critical global challenges that threaten environmental sustainability. This study examines the impact of natural resources, government expenditure, governance, economic growth, industry, population growth, and agricultural emissions on environmental sustainability in Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya in selected East African countries using data from the World Bank Indicators (1990–2023). Governance and environmental sustainability are represented by regulatory quality, the rule of law, and CO2 emissions, respectively.

The participation of youths in agriculture in Kenya has been low leading to migration to urban areas where the youths expect to get better jobs in non-farm sector. They thus earn low incomes and experience increasing poverty, social and economic exclusion, and increased risk of political tensions.

Background: Diabetes is thought to carry the same risk as coronary heart disease.The higher chance of cardiac mortality and incident coronary heart disease (CHD) development are especially concerning in case of diabetes. The usefulness of statins in primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including among people with type 2 diabetes, is well established. Across all cardiovascular risk groups, there is compelling evidence that statins reduce major vascular events.

The review article on interventions mostly used for in-service training of nurses on effective use of standardized documents was conceived because most often than not documentation on patients is incomplete. The write up is relevant in that nurses can be exposed to standardized documents and use them for better patient outcomes. The objectives were to explore, outline, describe, and expose reasons for documentation, standardized documents, factors that influence effectiveness in documentation and regulatory bodies’ views on documentation.
