The consequence has been the development of various analytical models which could be used to explain the policy results. The first category is concerned with the way in which the participants in policy – making tackle the problem and to what extent they take cognizance of the factors involved in policy – making. It is a descriptive approach. The second category is concerned with how the participants in policy making should act. This is prescriptive approach.

Title A name given to the resource ESTIMATION OF THE IMPACT OF TOBACCO CURING ON WOOD RESOURCES IN ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource ITAI OFFAT MANYANHAIRE WISDOM KURANGWA Description An account of the resource This paper estimates the impact of tobacco curing on wood resources in Zimbabwe. The estimation was done using the year 2009 and 2010 tobacco production statistics for small scale farmers obtained from the Tobacco Industry Marketing Board (TIMB). The total mass of tobacco produced was multiplied by a factor 14 kilogrammes of wood required to cure one kilogramme of tobacco. The estimation of the annual forest woodland clearance per every hectare of tobacco cured was calculated using 0.6 hectares of forest woodland per every hectare factor obtained from literature. Wood consumption increased significantly across all major tobacco producing regions of the country. This was driven by a marked increase in the number of farmers and the size of land put under tobacco across provinces. There was 19% increase in hectarage of forests cleared to cure tobacco which may be linked to the growing shrinkage of forests in the country. Miombo woodlands were major sources of wood fuel due mainly to their high energy value and their ecological dominance within the tobacco farming regions. Despite efforts by the tobacco industry to provide farmers with coal for curing tobacco, small holder farmers continue to use wood fuel with negative impacts on wood resources. There is need for the stakeholders in the tobacco industry to educate farmers and enhance the use of coal, creation of woodlots and adoption of the energy saving technologies Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available International Journal of Development and Sustainability Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2014 consumption curing impact Tobacco wood resources https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/ca930ea2e924d2a02cab24de3608f570.pdf 46241323411c7af9bfda64095f9113c8 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource MANIPULATING NUTRITION FOR IDEAL CARCASS AND MEAT QUALITY PARAMETERS IN GOAT AND SHEEP PRODUCTION Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource NEVER ASSAN Description An account of the resource Nutrition is an important component of the goat and sheep meat production systems and plays a vital role in promoting ideal carcass characteristics and meat quality properties. Goats and sheep diets can impact not merely growth performance but as well as carcass and meat properties that are acceptable to modern day consumers who have become sensitive to the quality of meat and meat products. Of significance, dietary composition can be manipulated towards acquiring desirable dressing percentage, carcass characteristics and meat quality properties in goats and sheep. It cannot be overemphasized that dressing percentage and meat yield directly respond to optimal dietary regime as a result manipulation of dietary constituencies especially energy and protein have been designed to produce acceptable carcass and meat properties. However, the existence of interactions of nutrition with other non-genetic factors in influencing carcass traits and meat quality properties in goats and sheep, cannot be overlooked. Apart from dietary composition influencing carcass yield and meat quality properties, overall dietary impact appears to vary with sex of animal, age and weight at slaughter. Optimal plane of nutrition will enhance goat and sheep performance, while inadequate dietary protein, energy, minerals and vitamins proportions have been interrelated to negative impact on carcass parameters and meat quality properties. It is important that the nutritional constituents be accurately balanced in order to attain optimum dressing percentage, carcass yield and meat quality properties. Feed resources of every description have been fed for their nutritional value with different responses on their influence on carcass parameters and meat quality properties. Therefore, there are conspicuous differences of ration formulas on their impact on dressing percentage, carcass parameters, and meat quality properties. A balanced dietary composition become predictable critical component of which can impose a positive influence on carcass traits and meat quality properties. In order to get maximum response for carcass portions as a result of prescribed nutritional regime, animal should be slaughtered at an appropriate age and weight, and also sex to slaughter might need to be considered. The present review gives an insight of the impact of nutrition on dressing percentage, carcass characteristics and meat quality properties in goats and sheep.

The promotion of VMMC has raised a major concern that it might lead to an increase in high-risk sexual behavior, a phenomenon known as risk compensation or behavioral disinhibition. This study sought to test whether circumcised men in Zimbabwe are more likely to have engaged in risky sexual behavior. The study used data collected from 7,480 men age 15-54 who were interviewed during the 2010-11 Zimbabwe Demographic and Health Survey (ZDHS). Logistic regression was used to assess the association between circumcision and risky sexual behaviors. The study found no statistically significant association between male circumcision and risky sexual behavior. These results suggest a need to continue monitoring the relationships between ongoing VMCC campaigns and men’s risky sexual behavior.

Questionnaires and interviews were used as research instruments. Mean yields under ca and conventional tillage were compared and analysed using ‘Z’ statistical test at 0.025level of significance. Results showed that maize mean yield from ca was significantly higher than the mean yield from conventional system. Hectare of all ca farmers increased from 40.5ha in 2009/2010 to 100ha in 2011/2012 season. Yield in 2009/2010 was 1 t/ha but rose to 2.3t/ha by 2011/2012 season. Agritex, ZFU and NGO provided extension service to Nyakatsapa ca farmers. Agritex provided every type of extension. ZFU and NGO did not conduct any field days on ca. Extension records revealed that (15/20) was attendance on field days and (19/20) on field demonstrations. Results revealed that fertilizer and seed were the main inputs given. The study therefore, recommends that farmers in Nyakatsapa use conservation agriculture which produces higher yields than conventional system in maize production. Soil, nutrients and moisture are conserved.

Received 30 November, 2015; Accepted 27 October, 2016 In eastern semi-arid Zimbabwe, planting basins are mostly used to boost maize yields, but still low yields are often obtained due to poor choices of varieties to grow . A comparative study of growth and yield of the only two locally and commonly grown Pioneer cultivars (P2859W and PHB3253) under planting basin technique (PBT) was carried out to determine a more adaptable cultivar in Guhune, eastern Zimbabwe (NR IV). The study was done in 2012/2013 and 2013/2014 growing seasons. An experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), with the two cultivars, each replicated four times. Yield, leaf length and plant height were measured and averaged. Results showed that PHB3253 had growth of 75.2 cm after measuring at 2 weeks interval for 10 weeks. Its growth was significantly (p<0.05) higher in terms of plant height than P2859W. Leaf length of P2859W was not significantly (p>0.05) greater than PHB3253. Grain yield of PHB3253 (35.1 kg) was significantly (p<0.05) greater than that of P2859W (26.6 kg). PHB 3253 is therefore more adaptable to semi-arid conditions under basin technique as signified by its higher growth and yield than P2859W. It is therefore recommended that farmers who use planting basins in semi-arid areas for growing short season maize cultivars (P2859W and PHB3253) should opt for PHB3253 for better productivity.

Trials were carried out in the greenhouse and field. In the greenhouse, five treatments were used: control (M0, only water applied), second control (ME, only ethanol applied), moringa extract (in 80% ethanol) applied (on leaves) once at 2 weeks from emergence (M1), moringa extract applied at 2 and 4 weeks from emergence (M2), and moringa extract applied every 2 weeks to maturity from two weeks from germination (M3). The same treatments were adopted in the field except ME, which was considered unnecessary after observing the results of the greenhouse experiment. Results showed that moringa extract increased growth and yield of beans in both greenhouse and field, and of maize in the field. However, the extract showed no significant effect on DM yield, root DM or plant height of maize in the greenhouse. The highest DM and root weight, height and crop yields in greenhouse and field experiments for beans, and for maize in the field only, were obtained at M3.

Title A name given to the resource SIGNIFICANCE OF LITTER SIZE, DURATION OF DRY PERIOD AND STAGE OF PREGNACY ON MILK YIELD AND COMPOSITION IN DAIRY ANIMALS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource ASSAN, N Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Scientific Journal of Review Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2014 Description An account of the resource The factors influencing the amount and composition of produced milk can be divided into two groups, namely internal and external factors. This is very important to remember when evaluating the milk quality and in the improvement of milk yield and composition in a dairy enterprise. Of the external factors it is possible to mention a few, litter size, duration of dry period and stage of pregnancy. The present discussion explores the significance of litter size, duration of dry period and pregnancy on milk yield and composition in dairy production. In goats and sheep dams bearing twins or triplets had higher milk yield than single bearing dams, and this significant increase in milk production in these dams that carried twins and triplets was followed by an increase in lactation length. Due to the amount of milk animal produce, the drying-off process is often more complicated for dairy animals (cattle, goats and some sheep). However, this period is essential to enables dams to regain the body condition needed to support the subsequent pregnancy and lactation. The majority of dairy animals dry off spontaneously because of the aforementioned natural decrease in daily milk production. The length of dry period influences milk production in the subsquent lactation, with shortening of the dry period showing a markedly negative effect on milk performance of dams. Lactating animals should have an opportunity to rest and regenerate mammary tissue between lactations. For optimal dairy animal performance in the next lactation, lactating animals should have an opportunity to rest and regenerate mammary tissue between lactations. The amount of produced milk and its composition are influenced by the stage of pregnancy, in the first half of pregnancy it is not possible to observe any pronounced changes while in the second stage of pregnancy can observe a gradual decrease in milk production as well as an imcrease in levels of individual milk components. During pregnancy and the first few days postpartum, milk supply is hormonally driven – this is called the endocrine control system. This implies that in the course of lactation, changes in milk production are caused by changes in activities of the endocrine system that are caused by hormones sectreted by pitiutary gland (hypophysis cerebi) and placenta. During the latter part of pregnancy, the mammary gland is making colostrum, but high levels of progesterone inhibit milk secretion resulting reduced milk yield. Progesterone influences the growth in size of alveoli and lobes; high levels of progesterone inhibit lactation before birth. Progesterone levels drop after birth; this triggers the onset of copious milk production. Estrogen stimulates the milk duct system to grow and differentiate. Like progesterone, high levels of estrogen also inhibit lactation, while the hormone prolactin must be present for milk synthesis to occur. dry period pregnancy Goat litter size milk production https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/3c439c804199e308c55541ebc0ceaff1.pdf 93b2272d42ad099f5ad3d6d2a566b74f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

DUTOIT JAMESON KUGARA Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Archives of Phytopathology and Plant Protection Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2018 Description An account of the resource The study investigates the presence and quantity of anti- microbial sinigrin glucosinolates in tomato leaves after spraying them with moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaf extract (MLAE). Moringa concentrates (0.5, 0.75, 1.00 and 1.5 kg L�1 (w v�1 )) were prepared. Distilled water was the control. Sampled tomato leaves were air-dried, freeze-dried and extracted firstly using pure methanol in a hot water bath and then pellet re-extracted using 5 mL of hot aqueous methanol (70% v v�1 ). An ion exchange column, and sul- phatase was used to achieve glucosiodesulphonation. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was employed in the identification and quantitative analysis of the sinigrin glucosinolates. Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) leaves treated with MLAE revealed highly significant (p < .001) con- tent of sinigrin glucosinolates. The sinigrin standard and the desulphated sinigrin glucosinolates had a 7 s retention time difference; 5 kg L�1 (w v�1 ) resulted in a superior amount of sinigrin in tomato leaves as compared to all the other MLAE concentrations. The study reveals that spraying MLAE on putatively diseased tomato leaves donates specific quantifi- able glucosinolates like sinigrin, which may be involved in defense against tomato diseases and, hence, recommends use of 5 kg L�1 (w v�1 ) for the highest sinigrin defense tag. desulphated sinigrin glucosinolate high performance liquid chromatography Moringa oleifera leaf extract tomato leaves https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/43e8dc70db47e6b7c1f26a3f2f8a9da9.pdf d878caf8c08b5b709cccf096a523b580 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This research, carried out through case study and desk research, seeks to establish whether and how the organisations involved meet the operational integration component of the strategic alignment model. Specifically operational fit between organisational and mobile infrastructure and processes through determining mobile money infrastructure and processes and the associated organisational infrastructure and processes within a mobile money ecosystem. The research established that a number of institutions have tried to redesign and repackage the product, but not all were successful. The failure was attributed to improper alignment between the available technologies and organisational processes and infrastructure. The research further exposes that operationally integrated organisations ensures that alignment components involved are adequate and well reinforced through adequate governance structures, however skills does not necessarily have to be adequate but must be present.

KATSARUWARE I. O. MANYANHAIRE Description An account of the resource A study was conducted to evaluate the suitability of cowpea (Vigna anguiculata) varieties for maize-cowpea intercropping in leaf stripped and detasselled maize at the University of Zimbabwe Farm during the 2005/6 cropping season. A Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD 4*3*2 factorial experimental design was adopted. Three factors that included cowpea variety, cropping system and detasselling/leaf stripping were used for the design. Trailing and climbing varieties invested more dry matter to vegetative growth than the new upright bushy cultivars that invested most of their dry matter in grain yield. Leafstripping and detasselling significantly increased cowpea grain and maize yields. Sole cowpea grain yield was significantly higher than grain yield from their respective intercrops. Weed density significantly (P<0.01) decreased at 6 weeks after crop emergence (WACE and at maize physiological maturity (PM), and biomass decreased at 6 (WACE) and maize (PM) respectively. Weed density was reduced in the intercrops when maize was intercropped with CBC3, BEB and L. Landrace. In contrast R.ex-Mbare was not effective in suppressing weeds when intercropped with maize.

Title A name given to the resource OBSTACLES TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE HIV/AIDS CURRICULUM IN GURUVE DISTRICT SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource RITTAH KASOWE Description An account of the resource The aim of this present study was to investigate constraints faced by secondary school teachers in the teaching and learning of HIV/AIDS education in Guruve District in Mashonaland Province of Zimbabwe. Specifically, it focused on HIV/AIDS content, evaluation of the subject, teacher qualifications, availability of resources, methodology as well as syllabus interpretation. The quantitative methodology was used and the descriptive survey design employed. The population consisted of all the 840 secondary school teachers in the district. Random sampling was used to select the 200 respondents. Data were collected using a questionnaire. The study revealed that teachers were finding it very difficult to discuss sex related issues with children. The study also revealed that teachers lacked the knowledge and confidence to teach HIV/AIDS education. The study recommends that teachers should be given proper training in the teaching of HIV/AIDS education.

Title A name given to the resource STUDENT INVOLVEMENT IN ENHANCING STUDENT, RETENTION, PERSISTENCE AND SUCCESS IN OPEN AND DISTANCE LEARNING AT ZIMBABWE OPEN UNIVERSITY Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource STEPHEN MWENJE RITTAH KASOWE Description An account of the resource The study sought to establish how student involvement could enhance student retention, persistence and success in Open and Distance Learning at Zimbabwe Open University for it to become a world class university. Open and Distance Learning (ODL) systems in Sub-Saharan Africa institutions are grappling with fiscal challenges of low state funding and low student numbers against a background of increasing proliferation. African ODL systems are pursuing world class visions to effectively determine and monitor variables that affect student retention, persistence and success. With Open and Distance Learning, students are now being considered as the largest stakeholders. Investing time and money in learning, Open and Distance Learning institutions ought to orient partnerships to retain their students throughout the course of their learning. This research sought to find out how student persistence and success in Open and Distance Learning could be enhanced through customer feedback approaches at the Zimbabwe Open University. The case study survey design was used to gather data from randomly selected forty final year students and ten alumni members. The interview and the questionnaire were used as data collection instruments. The study established that assignments contribute much to students’ persistence and success to learning, hence the commenting need to be thorough. Tutorial sessions were found to be theoretically based and lacking practical activities, and some concepts in modules were viewed difficult to be conceptualized by students. Academic advisory services being given to students were enhancing learning; however, they lacked the social aspects.

Title A name given to the resource BUILDING SUSTAINABLE EDUCATION FUTURES FOR THE SOUTHERN AFRICAN SUB-CONTINENT Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource RITTAH KASOWE Subject The topic of the resource An assessment of effects of gender on affective organizational commitment of teachers in Zimbabwe. In Zimbabwe there has been an outcry on poor performance of students at all levels. It has been noted that yearly students’ O level percentage pass rate has declined up to 19.5 % in 2011 to 18.4% in 2012. This has raised concern amongst the stakeholders. Previously low performance has been attributed to inadequacy of resources and poor remuneration. In 2009 the Ministry of Education Art Sports and Culture introduced incentives to lure the teachers so that they help the majority of people in the country until the employer had adequate funds to cushion teachers’ salaries. In 2010 - 2011 primary schools were given books and sports kits by the UNICEF under the ETF programme and secondary schools in 2012. However this has not made a positive impact on pupil performance. Most of the blame has been put on teachers’ affective commitment to their work. Considering that the majority of teachers are females, the main question is whether gender is related to affective organizational commitment of teachers’ performance in Zimbabwe? Employee affective commitment is important because high levels of it leads to several favorable organizational outcomes.

Title A name given to the resource ENHANCING QUALITY OF UNIVERSITY E-LEARNING PROCESSES: STAKEHOLDER PARTICIPATION IN A BLENDED LEARNING ENVIRONMENT AT THE ZIMBABWE OPEN UNIVERSITY (ZOU) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource RITTAH KASOWE STEPHEN MWENJE Description An account of the resource Increasing competition from transnational Universities has forced many Universities in Africa to provide (ODL) through -learning technologies. In many cases E-learning is provided in partnerships with external providers or exclusively as foreign online programmes. Such E-learning provisions are not indigenous to receiving students as they are transplants from the source countries. However, universities in Africa have to become competitive by improving the quality of their programmes through blending traditional systems with e -learning. Quality enhancement of technology based teaching systems is a challenge especially to universities in the Sub- Saharan Africa seeking to add E-learning to their traditional systems to attract and retain students. This study seeks to explore stakeholder participation strategies that can be utilized to enhance the quality of blended learning services at the Zimbabwe Open University (ZOU). A case study methodology was used to gather data from a randomly selected ZOU Students and tutors from the University’s two of the ten regions. Questionnaires and interviews were used as main data collection instruments.
