Title A name given to the resource RELEVANCE OF MIXED METHODS RESEARCH IN DEVELOPING A FRAMEWORK FOR DIGITISING RECORDS AND ARCHIVES GODFREY TSVUURA Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource GODFREY TSVUURA Description An account of the resource This chapter discusses the relevance of mixed methods research in developing a framework for digitising records and archives. Mixed methods research has never been extensively used to find solution to the problems experienced in digitising records and archives. Digitisation, in general, has become a diverse area whose problems cannot be solved with a mono research methodology. The application of both quan- titative and qualitative techniques in finding solutions in the digitisation of records and archives would help records and archives professionals to have a deeper understanding of the difficulties associated with digitising records and archives, especially as the field is facing some rebirth due to advancement in technology. Digitisation of records and archives is revolving and gaining momentum due to the shifts of paradigms in techniques of record-keeping.

Title A name given to the resource ZIMBABWE’S E-GOVERNMENT READINESS AND ADOPTION OF CLOUD-BASED RECORDS MANAGEMENT IN THE FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource GODFREY TSVUURA SHEPARD MUTSAU KUDZAI DORCAS MBAWUYA Description An account of the resource Zimbabwe is one of the developing countries striving to reach a middle economy status by year 2030. In its bid to achieve this vision, it has adopted an electronic government strategy (e-government strategy) where government business is done electronically. An e-government strategy is a plan for e-government systems and their supporting infrastructure, which maximises the ability of government to achieve its objective of Vision 2030. An e-government strategy must give direction where the government is going, its goals, vision, mission, and some implementation guidelines. In order to reach this objective, the government has to become more accountable and transparent on its journey to Vision 2030, and one of its key drivers is proper records and archives management. Properly managed electronic government records bring about accountability, transparency, and good governance.

Title A name given to the resource ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN ACADEMIC DECISION-MAKING AND STUDENTS’ RECORDKEEPING: A CASE OF AN ODEL UNIVERSITY Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource GODFREY TSVUURA Description An account of the resource The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into higher education is reshaping traditional processes of academic decision-making and students’ recordkeeping. This study explores the use of AI in academic decision–making and students’ recordkeeping at Zimbabwe Open University (ZOU). A qualitative research methodology was adopted along with purposive sampling technique in which a sample of 5 heads of sections who deal with students’ recordkeeping were chosen as they have knowledge about the problem at hand. Data collected were analysed in thematic strands. Findings underscore that at ZOU, AI is being used to generate educational materials such as study guides, quizzes, automate administrative tasks like students grading as well as in other e-learning platforms such as My Vista, students support services, coursework material preparation and writing by students, data analytics and in widespread research. The study concludes that while AI offers significant opportunities to improve the management of students’ recordkeeping and academic decisions, its deployment must be guided by ethical principles, legal compliance, and capacity-building initiatives tomaximise benefits and mitigate risks. The study recommends the need for human oversight, inclusive data practices and robust governance frameworks to ensure fairness and accountability in AI-enabled academic decision-making and students’ recordkeeping.

Title A name given to the resource ROLE OF THE PSYCHOLOGICAL CONTRACT IN EMPLOYEE RETENTION FOR LOCAL AUTHORITIES IN ZIMBABWE. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource GONDO KUDZANAYI GORE SEKAI NOREEN SITHOLE KUDAKWASHE Description An account of the resource The study sought to analyse the role of the psychological contract in employee retention for local authorities in Zimbabwe with specific reference to the Municipality of Chinhoyi. The study was necessitated by a high exodus of skilled personnel. An exploratory survey design was adopted for the study. A sample size of 114 respondents was drawn from a target population of 400 comprising 382 current employees, 18 former employees and 6 management representatives using the simple random, convenience and purposive sampling techniques respectively. Questionnaires were used to collect data from both current and former employee respondents whilst face to face interviews were used to gain management opinion. The study concluded that there was a feeling of psychological contract breach amongst employees. Research findings revealed that unfulfilled promises and unfair labour practices by the employer were the major causes for breach of the psychological contract and subsequently leading to employee turnover. The study recommends that local authorities in Zimbabwe should accord significant importance to the informal contract of employment to foster a positive psychological contract through fulfillment of promises made and enhance retention of skilled personnel. The study also recommends that further research be undertaken to assess the impact of the psychological contract on service delivery for local authorities in Zimbabwe given the persistent deplorable service delivery since dollarisation of the economy.

Student, supervisor and institutional related factors were the focus of the study. Descriptive survey method was used in the study due to the normative nature of the data collected. Questionnaires and interviews were used to collect data. The sample of the study comprised 50 students who had failed to complete their research projects on schedule as well as 24 research project supervisors. Convenience sampling was used in selection of the students. Supervisors available at the time of the study formed part of the sample. Findings were that the time given to students to do their research project was inadequate. Lack of library, Internet and typing facilities as well as finance for travelling to and from the supervisor hampered students’ research progress. The study concluded that student and institutional factors contributed to failure by students to complete their research projects on schedule.

Title A name given to the resource “THE EFFECTIVENESS’ OF TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN SERVICE QUALITY OF MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND CHILD CARE” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource GORE SEKAI NOREEN SITHOLE KUDAKWASHE GONDO KUDZANAYI Description An account of the resource Causes of child death were identified; strategies and policies were put in place to help minimize child death. The challenge is that the service quality is being ignored which is leading to more child deaths. . The research sought to address the gap caused by lack of quality service in Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission ( PMTCT). The study survey was restricted to 14 health institutions in Chikomba District. The health institutions have 217 staff who could participate. According to PMTCT Service statistics 3rd quarter 2012 for Chikomba District the beneficiaries totaled 1185. Four Chiefs in the District and two relevant stakeholders District Aids Coordinator (DAAC) Focal Officer and PMTCT Coordinator Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric Aids Foundation (EGPAF) were also part of the target population. All these added would give a total target population of 1407. The sample size comprised of 98(45%) participants from the 14 health institutions, 532 beneficiaries , 2 stakeholders and 4 Chiefs . 28 questionnaires were distributed to management, 70 to employees and 2 to (DAAC) and ( EGPAF) representatives. Focus group discussions were carried out on 532 beneficiaries and 4 community leadership. Interviews were done with 14 senior manager, 4 community leaders and 2 stakeholder representatives. We found out that there are eight practices that support total quality management (TQM) positively; these are top-management commitment, teamwork and participation, process management, customer focus and satisfaction, resource management, organization behavior and culture, continuous improvement, and training. In conclusion we found out that for successful TQM implementation employee involvement, senior management commitment, training and also taking into account the needs of external and internal customers is very important.

Title A name given to the resource AN EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF OFFENDER REHABILITATION POLICIES IN ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource GRANISIA MASONA MUSANGO Description An account of the resource The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of offender rehabilitation policies in Zimbabwe prisons in light of the efforts by stakeholders to reform offenders. The primary objective of the study was to establish the extent to which the correctional services are curbing ex-convicts from committing crimes. The study was also aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of rehabilitation policies implemented in Zimbabwe towards addressing the problem of re-offending. Furthermore, the study sought to identify the reasons why released offenders continue to commit crimes despite their participation in various rehabilitation programmes during their period of incarceration. The methodology of the study was centred on the interpretivist philosophy as practised in qualitative research methods. The study participants included prisoners who were first time offenders, prisoners who were re- arrested, prison officers who supervise the rehabilitation programmes and NGOs responsible for various rehabilitation programme concerning prisoners. Data was primarily generated through face-to-face interviews, telephone interviews, focus group discussions and participant observation which were inevitable in this study by nature of being a qualitative research where the researcher is the prime instrument of data generation. Secondary data was sought from documents analysed from Harare Central, Chikurubi Farm and Chikurubi Female Prisons records and statistics offices and other stakeholders. The findings of the study revealed a host of challenges that stall effective policy implementation chief among them being the deplorable living conditions in the prisons. The negative attitude perspectives and stigma , among other things, were seen to be the reasons for offenders getting into a vicious circle of re- offending.

Title A name given to the resource EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF OPEN AND DISTANCE LEARNING DEGREED PRIMARY SCHOOL HEAD TEACHERS IN MANAGERIAL LEADERSHIP. THE CASE OF CHIPINGE DISTRICT, MANICALAND PROVINCE. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource GUTUZA CONSTANCE Description An account of the resource This study is an evaluation of the degreed primary school head teachers in Chipinge District of Manicaland Province. The study used a qualitative case study research design, with philosophical underpinnings of constructivism and phenomenology. A sample of 163 participants was used. Purposive sampling technique was used to select participants until saturation point. The researcher, interview guide, questionnaire with open ended questions and an observation checklist were used to generate data. Data were presented, analysed and interpreted using the Grounded Theory Approach. The major findings of the study were that, ODL degreed head teachers were more effective leaders and managers of primary schools than those who had no degrees. There has been marked development in infrastructure and notable improvement has also been noted in supervisory and management styles pass rate and positive head teachers-teacher relations. There are good working relationships between Head Teachers and School Development Committees. The study concluded that ODL has been successful in capacitating educational personnel to be effective leaders and managers of primary schools in Chipinge District. The controversy surrounding the credibility of ODL educational management degrees is no longer a cause for concern in the district judging by the accolades showered on the graduates and the programme. The study recommends that policy makers re-think corporal punishment and school fees polices. Another recommendation was for trainers to adopt a more practical approach in ICT and financial management courses.

The study seeks to identify a solution to job hopping amongst academics. The investigation was aimed at understanding causes, impact and solutions to job hopping of lecturers in the Zimbabwean universities. The investigation employs qualitative methodologies and uses data saturation to determine sample size. Poor remuneration, lack of resources, work pressure, red tape and lack of career growth were found to be causes of job hopping amongst lecturers in Zimbabwean universities. Brain drain, poor quality of graduates, increased workload, recruitment and administration costs and unfilled posts were found to be negative impacts of job hopping of lecturers in the Zimbabwean universities. Competitive remuneration, mentoring, decreasing workload, flexible work arrangements, provision of resources, career growth and adoption of organic structures were found to be solutions to job hopping amongst lecturers in Zimbabwean universities Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available ZIBEM Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2024 https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/f85afecf9d7cc459efe881b6db5bfe05.pdf 3b35966aa7c67961d9d2bb1248d703b7 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 THE EFFECT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES ON THE PERFORMANCE OF STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES IN ZIMBABWE: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource HONEST SIBANDA OBERT SIFILE NERIA.ETA MARIMA Description An account of the resource State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) represent a crucial component of the national economy in Zimbabwe, yet they are beset by systemic operational challenges that affect their performance and reputation. There have been concerns about the effectiveness of their corporate governance systems and how these impact the performance of the enterprise. While there is some scholarship on corporate governance in public sector entities, little has been done to interrogate the impact of corporate governance practices on the performance of SOEs in Zimbabwe. Therefore, this study, using qualitative content analysis, sought to assess the impact of corporate governance practices on the performance of state-owned enterprises in Zimbabwe. The X-inefficiency theory, Agency Theory and the Resource-Based View (RBV) constituted the theoretical framework of the study. Qualitative content analysis of several published empirical information on corporate governance in state-owned enterprises. Findings from study highlighted rampant corruption within state owned entities. Findings highlighted that there are poor corporate governance practices in these institutions fuelled by weak institutional frameworks, political patronage and the lack of effective oversight mechanisms among other factors. The absence of strong corporate governance has resulted in poor performance of SOEs. As a result, service delivery has become very poor. Findings highlighted that there is need to evaluate potential barriers to the adoption of effective corporate governance practices such as policy, legislation, attitudinal factors, capacity building, resources among others. The effective management of these barriers is crucial for promoting the adoption and implementation of best practices in SOEs. However, there remains the need for studies that focus on effective adoption and implementation methodologies of these strategies.

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/10c7fa3608d58d66accfea28bfe18d7f.pdf 5acd6a20e244c929ca4d9b082b498fd5 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Since the introduction and adoption of such technologies in Zimbabwe there has been limited evaluation of residents’ perceptions of these technologies. Thus, a Descriptive Survey of residents’ perception on Ecological Sanitation Technologies was conducted using a pre- tested questionnaire and key informant interviews with beneficiaries, triangulated with focus group discussions, field observations, and secondary data sources. The cultural background of the beneficiaries was observed to play a critical role in molding their perceptions towards the ecological sanitation technologies (EcoSan). Generally, there was a negative perception towards the use of humanure in leaf, stem, and root crops, with a clear show of disgust at the mention of such a prospect. To achieve high levels of acceptability of the technologies, awareness campaigns should target local community leaders (mainly councilors, chiefs, and kraal heads) as critical vehicles for positive perception development and mobilization of the rest of the community.

Title A name given to the resource TWENTY FIRST CENTURY AND REHABILITATION PROGRAMMES FOR INMATES IN ZIMBABWE PRISONS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource ITAI SAMANYANGA GILLIET CHIGUNWE Description An account of the resource The study was set to establish the extent to which Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services (ZPCS) provide rehabilitation and correctional services. World over, people are imprisoned after the courts have found them to be guilt of an offence. Incarcerating an offender is regarded as punishment enough. The Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services adopted the international standards that emphasise rehabilitation and empowerment of inmates with employment opportunity skills whilst serving. The study adopted the qualitative paradigm and descriptive survey method. Convenient sampling and snowballing were used to select prison officers whom were involved in the interviews. The findings revealed that ZPCS emphasises on the development and empowerment of offenders to lead a crime free life through equipping them with employment and vocational skills. It was revealed that ZPCS does not have standard rehabilitation and correctional service programmes. Career guidance and counselling is not much priority provision for inmates. There is need to include career guidance programme in the rehabilitation and correctional package so that inmates make informed decisions on choosing vocational and career programmes.

Title A name given to the resource THE ROLE OF THE SCHOOL IN TRANSITIONING YOUNG PEOPLE INTO VOCATIONAL TRAINING IN SELECTED SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN GWANDA DISTRICT Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource ITAYI SAMANYANGA VICTOR MADZINGA DINGINDAWO NCUBE Description An account of the resource This paper sought to assess the role of the school in transitioning young people into vocational training in selected secondary schools in Gwanda district. Many young people are completing secondary school education without skills needed to live independently or contribute meaningfully to society‟s daily demands. With the ever increasing job demands on technical skills young people need to be prepared for specialised technical jobs. The research sought to assess the role of the school system in preparing youths who can effectively compete in the labour market. The major challenge youths face is unemployment due to their unemployability. It is therefore imperative, to prepare them for vocational training and ultimately for lifelong employment. The teaching of technical and vocational subjects prepares youths for the labour market as well as increasing their chances of becoming professionals. Through the learning of technical and vocational subjects, youths are empowered to make choices for their future careers and realise the benefits of possessing knowledge of technical and vocational skills. The study evaluated the role played by the education system in preparing youths for working life. A descriptive survey was used to obtain respondents‟ views. The study used questionnaire, structured interview schedule and observation guide in the data collection process to promote triangulation. The study recommends the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education to come up with a clear policy guiding the implementation of technical and vocational curricula in secondary schools. The study findings reveal that secondary schools had no suitably qualified technical and vocational teachers, thus inadequate time was allocated to technical and vocational subjects. To keep pace with global trends, the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education should also seriously consider the use of computers/IT in the instruction of technical and vocational subjects Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2016 echnical and vocational subjects employment vocational training and transition https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/51ad809448cc093dd35636b56ebc7731.pdf 08a211df69268580b93d4b0f9e7c3b1e 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 THE RELEVANCE OF COUNSELLING IN THE MANAGEMENT OF CLIENTS WHO ARE PHYSICALLY DISABLED AT HOUSEHOLD LEVEL: IMPLICATIONS TO PRACTICING COUNSELLORS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource ITAYI SAMANYANGA RACHEAL MAFUMBATE Description An account of the resource Society attaches a stigma to many forms of disability and this leads to prejudicial treatment. The birth of a child with a disability or chronic illness, or the discovery that a child has a disability, has a profound effect on a family. People with disabilities are often labelled by the non disabled people as blind, wheelchair users and called names rather than as complex human beings with specific challenges. Siblings need to adjust to a brother or sister who is disabled since the disabling condition may require a large portion of family time, attention, money and psychological support. The experiences of parents and siblings of a child who is disabled could be stressfulness, overprotection of the child from associating with peers, keeping the child secluded or even going to the extent of murdering the child to get rid of the disability considering it an abomination. Counselling is very crucial once a disability has been detected as that helps parents and siblings of a child who is disabled to cope with the disability challenges by encouraging the household members to offer support, manage stress and enhance coping abilities. The counsellor assists the family members accepting objectively their child who is disabled. The research study is helpful to the community as it provides knowledge on disability issues and management of physical disabling conditions. The study encourages participation by people with physical disabilities in community activities and thus establishes and enhances social interaction as well as builds strong relationships with persons who are physically disabled in community development programs Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Research Journal in Organizational Psychology & Educational Studies Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2014 Counselling Disability Physical Disability stigma https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/e57453c17bab33aecccf3886f59a9496.pdf 8e87281a7234669c64b6974fc06529bb 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 UNDERSTANDING CONFLICT AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION METHODS IN ZIMBABWEAN CHURCHES. THE CASE OF BINDURA SALVATION ARMY CITADEL Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource J MBWIRIRE C MASUNUNGURE Description An account of the resource This study sought to assess how congregants at Bindura Salvation Army Citadel understand conflict and conflict resolution methods. The study used a mixed method approach combining focus group discussions, in-depth interviews and congregant’s survey. The study revealed that conflict was understood differently in church, understanding conflict as violence and conflict as misunderstandings. Major causes of church conflicts are doctrine differences, social and political in nature. The major conflict resolution used is counseling, mediation, negotiation and facilitation. Understanding of conflict and conflict resolutions differs on the basis of gender and level of education. The study recommended that conflict and conflict resolution be defined and understood in a way which encompasses views across both gender and education level.

F. MUPANGWA N. T. NGONGONI H. HAMUDIKUWANDA Description An account of the resource The objective of this study was to assess the effect of stage of growth and method of drying fresh herbage on the chemical composition of herbaceous forage legumes namely Cassia rotundifolia (Cassia), Lablab purpureus (Lablab) and Macroptilium atropurpureum (Siratro). The interactions of legume species, drying method and stage of growth influenced the crude protein content and nitrogen degradation of the legumes. Siratro maintained a greater protein content ranging from 191 to 282 g/kg DM, at all stages of growth and drying methods than either cassia or lablab which had values ranging from, respectively, 173 to 246 and 162 to 254 g/kg DM, but were also different. Drying the forages at 60 0C caused an increase in the acid detergent insoluble nitrogen content of the legumes. The neutral detergent fibre, acid detergent fibre and lignin content of cassia and siratro harvested at 8 or 14 weeks of growth were greater than in lablab. While the protein content declines with fibre increasing with advancing plant maturity, the legumes tend to maintain a high CP content, which makes them acceptable protein supplementary feeds to low quality roughages. Among the three legumes, siratro showed a higher sustained CP content followed by cassia, and lablab was the least. To ensure high quality forage more emphasis should be placed on drying methods and harvest management as this affects the extent of leaf loss from the forage legumes and hence the quality of the final feed given to animals Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2006 chemical composition Forage Legumes stage of growth https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/cb175d81731b5d58fc16418e4c5ffade.pdf ece620d106cc11f705b9bad78485329e Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

HAMUDIKUWANDA Description An account of the resource The effect of feeding forage legumes, Cowpea, Silverleaf desmodium and Oxley fine stem stylo, as protein supplements to natural pasture (veld) hay on intake, growth rate and nitrogen metabolism in growing lambs was evaluated. Thirty growing lambs were stratified according to body weight and randomly assigned, within a stratum, to five diets in a completely randomised design. The diets were veld hay alone (V), veld hay supplemented with either 10 g/kg of urea (VU), veld hay supplemented with 250 g/kg Cowpea (VC), 250 g/kg Silverleaf desmodium (VS) or 250 g/kg Oxley fine stem stylo (VF) forage legume hays. The V and the VU groups were used as control diets. Animals supplemented with either urea or the forage legume had higher (P<0.01) total dry matter intake compared with the animals on V. The animals supplemented with the forage legumes had higher (P<0.01) nitrogen intake and faecal nitrogen output than the non- supplemented group. All animals, across the treat-ments, lost body weight; lambs on V had higher (P< 0.01) body weight losses than those in the other treatments. The forage legume supplemented groups lost less (P<0.01) body weight than those on the V and VU diets.

SIMBANEGAVI ZAKIO MAKUVARA RANGARIRAYI KARIDZAGUNDI RICHWELL ALUFASI DARIUSZ HALABOWSKI CLAUDIOUS GUFE WILLIS GWENZI NHAMO CHAUKURA MARVELOUS GOREDEMA Description An account of the resource Few earlier reviews on emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) in drinking water systems (DWS) focused on their detection, behaviour, removal and fate. Reviews on multiple exposure pathways, human intake estimates, and health risks including toxicokinetics, and toxicodynamics of EOCs in DWS are scarce. This review presents recent advances in human intake and health risks of EOCs in DWS. First, an overview of the evidence showing that DWS harbours a wide range of EOCs is presented. Multiple human exposure to EOCs occurs via ingestion of drinking water and beverages, inhalation and dermal pathways are discussed. A potential novel exposure may occur via the intravenous route in dialysis fluids. Analysis of global data on pharmaceutical pollution in rivers showed that the cumulative concentrations (μg L-1) of pharmaceuticals (mean ± standard error of the mean) were statistically more than two times significantly higher (p = 0.011) in South America (11.68 ± 5.29), Asia (9.97 ± 3.33), Africa (9.48 ± 2.81) and East Europe (8.09 ± 4.35) than in high-income regions (2.58 ± 0.48). Maximum cumulative concentrations of pharmaceuticals (μg L-1) decreased in the order; Asia (70.7) had the highest value followed by South America (68.8), Africa (51.3), East Europe (32.0) and high-income regions (17.1) had the least concen- tration. The corresponding human intake via ingestion of untreated river water was also significantly higher in low- and middle-income regions than in their high-income counterparts. For each region, the daily intake of pharmaceuticals was highest in infants, followed by children and then adults. A critique of the human health hazards, including toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics of EOCs is presented. Emerging health hazards of EOCs in DWS include; (1) long-term latent and intergenerational effects, (2) the interactive health effects of EOC mixtures and the challenges of multifinality and equifinality, and (3) the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease hypothesis. Finally, research needs on human health hazards of EOCs in DWS are presented.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource JOHN MBWIRIRE TIMOTHY KURWA Description An account of the resource This study seeks to analyse the controversial issues about coverage of salarygate by the print media in Zimbabwe by The Herald, and the roles that the media play in curbing the problem. Both quantitative and qualitative data approaches were used to analyse the roles that media play and to analyse the frequency of coverage of corruption issues. Interviews and content analysis were used as research instruments. Among the findings of the study were that the war against corruption cannot be won without the involvement of media. It was also found o ut that the stories lacked legal analysis of the salarygate. That the media plays a crucial role in creating awareness as well as in putting the government in check and pressuring it to prosecute cases that were reported. The study recommended that there was need to enhance the freedom of the press to protect journalists through the law, as well as to ensure more effective and objective reporting of corruption stories and other stories of human interest.
