Title A name given to the resource SCHISTOSOMIASIS AN ISSUE IN FLOOD PRONE AREA OF DAMBAKURIMAWARD 1, MUZARABANI DISTRICT OF ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource ANYWAY KATANHA VINCENT MASOCHA Description An account of the resource The study focused on community, perception of schistosomiasis during floods. Random sampling was used to select the respondents. A Sample of 100 household was chosen to respond to questionnaires and a focus group interview of the community members was done. The study embraced the entire Dambakurima Ward 1 and its nearest health Centre. Questionnaires, field observation and interview were used, as data collection instruments. The study established that schistosomasis is the most prevalent diseases during floods and other factors like religious beliefs contributed to the spread and effects of the diseases in Dambakurima Ward, as people have high frequent contact with polluted water bodies that harbor the parasites. The study also established that the community were aware of the high prevalence of schistosomiasis problems in the area, but lacked the knowledge on how to control it. Hence in their ignorance, present themselves again to multiple infections after successful treatment.Focus group discussions revealed that 80% of the respondents linked the high prevalent of schistosomiasis to climate change and there was evidence of uncoordinated approach among the various stakeholders, who try to help these community to reduce parasitism density among the population. Though there is a nearby clinic, access to information and education has been a challenge because of religious reasons. The study recommends total involvement of all stakeholders in the control of the disease. Mass screening of the group should be done followed by treatment. Well structured awareness campaigns should be done before the onset of rain season. The study recommends environmental education which focus on climate change, disease control and understanding of indigenous knowledge discourse like the use of phytolacca dodecandra which is a plant that grows naturally Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2014 https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/eaab34f80ed09285efbc02475aad235f.pdf c496ac8c798afd3afdf58f63e5b967d8 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 SELECTED SOCIAL POLICY ISSUES: ACCESS TO AND USE OF POTABLE WATER BY PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES IN NYAKATONDO AND FOYA VILLAGES (MOUNT DARWIN DISTRICT, ZIMBABWE) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource TOM TOM EMMANUEL MUNEMO Description An account of the resource The purpose of the study was to analyse access to potable water by people with disabilities in Nyakatondo and Foya villages in Mount Darwin district. This district is located in Mashonaland Central Province in Zimbabwe. The study was influenced by the lack of empirical studies on water and disability and the acute potable water problems in the two villages. The researchers applied ethnography to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the problem. The study aims to improve the access to potable water by people with disabilities in the two villages. This overall aim can only be achieved through appropriate understanding of the factors constraining access to potable water by people with disabilities. The study shows that access to potable water is a serious development problem in the two villages and generally the northern and north eastern parts of the district due to low rainfall levels, low underground water levels and salty water. These problems imply that potable water poverty is high in the two villages and the other parts of the district. The existence of merely one borehole for each of these two villages that is located far from the villages poses potable water challenges for people with disabilities and everyone else. Prioritisation of water development and convenient water delivery are key recommendations for the transformation of the wellbeing of people with disabilities and everyone else. The improved water services in the villages should also entail the designing and redesigning of water facilities to enhance accessibility, access, usability and safety for people with disabilities Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available International Journal of Social Science and Economics Invention (IJSSEI Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2015 Access disability and policy potable water https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/a8f04cdb6e1f27c3aff150836961d457.pdf 27c3037a805afba76c719ee8361d8add 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 SEX/AGE OF KID/LAMB AND DAM AGE/PARITY AND MANAGING DAM NUTRITION AS DETERMINANTS OF MORTALITY IN SMALL RUMINANTS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource NEVER ASSAN Description An account of the resource Mortality is one of the prime after effect on viability of commercial goat and sheep meat production efficiency, through its consequential compromised ewe/doe performance and economic losses in production. Several factors are potential determinants of kid/lamb mortality such as birth type, sex and age, birth weight, dam’s milk yield, parity order, dam age, dam weight and condition etc. However, the present review will focus on sex/age of kid/lamb, dam age and parity, and dam nutrition/season as determinants of kid/lamb mortality. Although results on the influence of sex on mortality has been inconsistent, several studies have reported a trend where mortality rates have been sex biased in goat and sheep. Male kids/lambs have lower survival rates and higher mortality hazard ratios as compared to female kids/lambs. Mortality is highest during the initial phase of kid/lamb life and have a propensity to decline as age progresses. Kids/lambs delivered to low parity order dams have low chances of survival due to poor maternal instinct. The advancement of maternal behavior gets better with parity order, as parity order progresses maternal instinct is consolidated. On the other hand, improvement in dam nutrition will enhance dam milking capacity which has been associated with high survivability of kids/lambs. This entails understanding of nutritional management of dams becomes an essential tool to curtail mortality in goats and sheep. Kidding/lambing season should coincide with seasonal availability of high quality forage to feed nursing dams hence high survivability of kids/lambs.

Title A name given to the resource SEX, AGE OF ANIMAL AND WEIGHT AT SLAUGHTER AS EXPLANATORY VARIABLES FOR CARCASS AND MEAT QUALITY PROPERTIES IN GOATS AND SHEEP PRODUCTION Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource NEVER ASSAN Description An account of the resource Slaughtering kids/lambs at specified age and weight of specialized goat and sheep meat breeds might promote high muscle deposition and a desirable carcass fat cover, culminating into meat with a more adequate nutritional profile and health properties for human consumption. In this case, animal factors such as sex, age and weight at slaughter play a central role as the primary explanatory variables on meat yield and quality of carcass parameters in goat and sheep production. The discussion on determinants of carcass and meat quality properties is complex given that the diversity of goat and sheep meat breeds, both early and late maturing is considerable, over and above exploited as is the practice in non-identical production systems. Of interest goats and sheep in most cases are accordingly slaughtered at different weights and age, and on the other hand, specific markets have preferred sex of animal for slaughter. However, taking cognisance of the above, carcass and meat parameters are influenced by various non-genetic effects, hence the knowledge on these factors and their interactions becomes of paramount importance in order to produce desirable meat quality for specified markets and consumers’ preference. A linear relationship between carcass yield with age at slaughter has been reported in goats and sheep, there is a tendency of carcass weight increasing as the age of the animal increases. Sex dependency on carcass and meat parameters has been inconsistent in goats and sheep, however, most studies show that sex greatly influence carcass and meat quality properties. Compromised dressing percentage in goats and sheep due to higher slaughter weight, could be explained by the lightest animals lacking perfectly developed digestive tracts. Against this background, age at slaughter explicitly influences meat quality, particularly with regards to tenderness of meat derived from young animals. The differential carcass status in young and mature animals is due to increased fat deposition in older animals than in younger ones, while fat tissue increases with increased slaughter weights. Complexity of determination of desirable carcass and meat parameters is ascribable to interaction of many variables, hence it is imperative to appreciate the role of each component by appropriately factoring their influence in any slaughter decision, where animals could be slaughtered at given age and weight to meet specified objectives of a particular market requirements. Producers operating in different production systems might not duplicate factors such as age, weight and sex of slaughter because they utilise different genotypes, and the prescribed nutritional regime in non- identical production systems will weigh heavily on the outcome of carcass and meat parameters. The interaction of all these factors (genotype and non-genetic factors) at different levels as influenced by the market expectations will decide the economics of goat and sheep meat production. This present review will give an insight on some non-genetic effects that influence carcass and meat quality properties namely sex, age and weight at slaughter 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 2020 Age Carcass Goat Meat Sex Sheep Weight https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/413790686aa8970e3611b32373dd0d6b.pdf 5a81165bfd32363f25fb118b2738e0c9 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 ISSUES AND CONCERNS IN PRO POOR COMMUNITY BASED CATTLE BREEDING PROGRAM IN BULILIMAMANGWE DISTRICT OF ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource A. NCUBE A.B. DUBEA C.T. KHOMBEA N. ASSAN Description An account of the resource Cattle rearing plays a crucial role in the semi arid communal areas of Zimbabwe, as a result any developmental strategy that is aimed at improving household livelihood in these areas should target cattle production. The objective of the study was to assess the impact of introducing improved indigenous cattle beef breeds in Bulilima District of Matabeleland South in Zimbabwe. The study was carried out in Masendu ward comprising of six villages of Luvuluma, Mambo, Tjeboroma, Makumbi, Thandawani and Muke. A random sample of 13 livestock farmers were selected from participants of the Kellogg Foundation communal areas indigenous cattle (Tuli, Afrikaner and Nguni) improvement program through a donation of improved indigenous beef cattle bulls. Semi-structured questionnaires were used to collect data on household demographics, socioeconomic factors, herd structure, management practices and constraints in cattle breeding program. Qualitative data were coded and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 2008) computer software in order to generate descriptive statistics such as means and frequencies or percentages. The study revealed an interesting scenario on household demographics; the majority of the farmers had formal education, with only 7.7% not having attained any formal education. As a result of Kellogg Foundation bull donations some farmers (15.4%) increased their herd size to more than 30 cattle which improved their social status in the areas. Farmers interviewed showed that they were motivated to keep improved breeds with least more than half of the farmers reporting that the bulls to a certain extent increased the number of cows serviced within the community herds. Poor animal condition was reported in cattle herds due to the inadequate supply of both water and nutrition, the latter being caused by lack of good grazing. It was noted that government support was necessary in infrastructure development in order to improve community based cattle breeding programs. The need to organise market to encourage smallholder farmers to sell their animals was also cited. There was a belief that better prices were achievable at local markets if the communal herd was genetically improved for important economic traits. Therefore, the key conclusion was that communal farmers had a positive perception on improving the communal cattle herds.

Since then researchers have been preoccupied with establishing the level of knowledge and acceptability of circumcision in communities that did not traditionally circumcise. Despite evidence to suggest that knowledge and acceptability of voluntary medical male circumcision is high, there is also emerging evidence that suggest that uptake of circumcision among men has been below expectations. The purpose of this study was thus to investigate people’s representations of male circumcision that may influence its uptake.

The researcher sought to understand the state of social services and social services needs in the aftermath of the FTLRP at Mupfurudzi farm in Shamva district. A mixed methods approach was applied and the study shows that the land beneficiaries at the farm are experiencing problems in accessing quality education, health care, transport services and potable water. The land beneficiaries are not passively experiencing these problems; they are actively responding to these problems through social organisation and agency. However, the land beneficiaries’ efforts should be complemented by the other development actors.

Title A name given to the resource SOCIO-ECONOMIC DETERMINANTS OF COMMERCIALIZATION OF SMALLHOLDER RABBIT PRODUCTION IN MT DARWIN DISTRICT OF ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource DELIWE SYLVESTER CLAYTON MASHAPA LIGHTON DUBE MAY MREMA Description An account of the resource A study was conducted to analyze the socio-economic factors influencing commercialization of rabbit production in communal areas of Mt Darwin district of Zimbabwe. A study sample of 85 smallholder rabbit farmers was randomly selected across the study area. Data were collected by means of questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results revealed that 81.2% of respondents had attained some form of education and 63.5% had more than 6 years of rabbit farming experience. It was also observed that access to agricultural extension services, rabbit producer price, agricultural education and experience in rabbit keeping significantly (P < 0.05) influenced commercialization of rabbit farming by the farmers. It was concluded that improved access to agricultural extension services by a farmer, good rabbit producer prices, level of agricultural training attained by a farmer and years of rabbit farming experience of a farmer ease farmer’s ability to adopt commercial rabbit production and hence a higher production level. It was recommended that Zimbabwe national government create an enabling environment that promotes adequate technology transfer to farmers.

FRANCIS EKANEM DR. THERESA F. EKANEM MR. EMMANUEL I. ARCHIBONG Description An account of the resource In the domain of teacher-student interaction, via educational process, the ideal pedagogical praxis has been in dispute. For instance, while Socrates regarded his role as a mid-wife, who helps others bring to birth their innermost ideas, thus making education an extracting affair, its polar counterpart is the banking model where knowledge is deposited on the students akin to a doctor-patient relationship. The implication of these two contrasting views is that education becomes active on one hand, and passive on the other, and either overtly, or covertly, this system has formed a sublime practice, in most countries, educational objectives. This paper examines the two systems of education with a view to comparatively exposing its tenets, thus opening us further to re-assessing our hitherto held method whether it has really captured the essence of education, thereby envisaging a paradigm-shift.

Title A name given to the resource SOURCES AND CAUSES OF CONFLICT THAT EXIST BETWEEN LOCALS AND REGULATORY BOARDS ON BIO-DIVERSITY MANAGEMENT: A CASE FOR BINDURA RURAL/URBAN DWELLERS AND THE FORESTRY COMMISSION Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource RITTAH KASOWE Description An account of the resource The study sought to establish sources and causes of conflict that exist between locals and regulatory boards on bio-diversity management in Bindura rural/urban dwellers and the Forestry Commission. According to Zimbabwean laws, community is the owner of environment hence they have to control it .The society seem to be economically and socially forced by the situation to destroy their environment for example the erratic power cuts in urban set up force urban residence to depend on natural energy that is firewood for their domestic use. The community however continues to compete in the cutting of trees expediting the destruction of the environment. The forestry commission preserves the environment by stipulating measures against the destruction of forests. (Forestry Commission Act). This however is a source of conflict since the community claims it owns the forests and should depend on it whilst the forestry commission’s legislative board guards against the destruction of the environment. The significance of the study was to come up with solutions of reducing deforestation and preserving the environment without causing conflict amongst regulatory boards and the community. The study was a descriptive survey which sought to establish views and perceptions of randomly selected concerned parties in the bio-diversity management and preservation. The main questions raised in this scenario were, was the community aware of their rights pertaining to cutting of trees in the forests?

The fungicidal effect of Moringa oleifera leaf chloroform and aqueous extracts (MLCE and MLAE, respectively) was investigated in vitro to determine the inhibitory effect on germination of spores (conidia) of A. solani. Mixtures of spore suspension and MLCE, as well as MLAE (1:1), were prepared and dropped on slides by micropipette with 20 μL spore suspension of A. solani and 20 μL of MLCE and MLAE. The two treatments, MLCE and MLAE, were applied at four concentrations (62.5, 125, 250 and 500 mg mL−1) and compared with negative (distilled water; no extracts) and positive (diflucan, a commercial fungicide) controls with five replicates. The two extracts showed relatively high inhibitory effects on the germination of conidia from the lowest to the highest concentration. Germination of conidia decreased with increase in the concentrations of the extracts. The study showed that 250 mg mL−1 is the optimum concentration for both MLCE and MLAE. The highest concentration inhibited germination (0.0%) in both extracts.

Title A name given to the resource STORAGE TEMPERATURE AFFECTS FRUIT QUALITY ATTRIBUTES OF BER (ZIZIPHUS MAURITIANA LAMK.) IN ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource LOVEJOY TEMBO Z. A. CHITEKA I RENE KADZERE FESTUS K. AKINNIFESI F. TAGWIRA Description An account of the resource Fruit utilization is affected by quality attributes and shelf life. The quality of Jujube or Ber (Ziziphus mauritiana Lamk.) fruits after harvest depends on storage conditions used. In this study, different storage temperatures and durations were evaluated to determine the appropriate storage conditions of fresh fruits of Z. mauritiana. Three storage temperature levels, low (5oC), intermediate (15oC) and ambient (22oC) were evaluated at 3, 6, 9 and 12 weeks storage durations. Fruits stored at low temperature lost only 48% of their weight during the entire 12 week storage period while the fruits stored in the ambient and intermediate temperature ranges lost 70 and 75% of weight, respectively. At three weeks of storage, more than 40% of fruits had shrivelled under the ambient and intermediate storage temperatures compared to only 3% under the low storage temperature.

Title A name given to the resource STRATEGIES AND APPROACHES TO SUSTAINABLE LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION IN SUB SAHARAN AFRICA Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource N. ASSAN Description An account of the resource Livestock is a dominant agricultural activity in Sub Saharan Africa, which is generally considered a key asset for most rural population and contribute to the livelihoods and nutrition of purely subsistence households. This discussion is a synthesis of possible strategies to consider for sustaianble livestock production, focusing on issues of climate change, gender, smallholder livestock support and use of indigenous knowledge systems, and how these may influence livestock production. There are many measures which need to be explored with the aim of making the livestock systems become driving forces of sustainable agricultural development. One of the major factors responsible for the declining livestock productivity in the region is the relegation to the background of the contributions of women in the issues of livestock production. On the other hand, climate change and variability is now widely regarded as the most serious challenge facing Sub Saharan Africa, with consequences that go far beyond the effects on the environment, hence affecting most communities indiscriminately. Despite the negative impact of climate change on livestock production and biodiversity conservation, poor resources peasant famers are incentivized to engage in these activities because of the wide spectrum of benefits accrued, such as cash income, food, manure, draft power and hauling services, savings and insurance, and social status and social capital. Since time immemmorial, indigenous livestock knowledge systems have been used in smallholder livestock farming sector, while strengthening livestock productivity. These are some of the key aspects in promoting livestock development, through economically and socially empowering local communities, and consequently providing a way to enable rural communities to break the cycle of poverty. In this discussion, some of the strategic steps that can be adopted for future sustainable livestock production, include and not limited to the following: promotion of gender equality and equity in livestock production systems in terms of equal access to livestock productive resources, boosting climate change mitigation startegies, and empowering women in livestock production decision making.

Title A name given to the resource STRATEGY FOR A SUSTAINED QUALITY DELIVERY MODE OF ODL PROGRAMMES FOR MASSIVE ENROLLMENTS AND E-LEARNING: THE CASE FOR ZIMBABWE OPEN UNIVERSITY Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource GABRIEL KABANDA Description An account of the resource The market dynamics in distance education has precipitated phenomenal growth opportunities in enrollments and e-learning. The purpose of the paper was to develop a strategy for sustained quality delivery mode of distance education progammes that precipitate massive enrollments and e-learning in an open and distance learning (ODL) institution using Zimbabwe Open University (ZOU) as a case study. There is an increase in public accountability for higher education which compels institutions to demonstrate quality within the programmes and processes, including those provided online. The strategy for massive enrollments and e-learning is developed and this includes a mobile strategy and mobile web framework. How the landscape of quality assurance has been changed by the emergence of MOOCs is discussed. The methodology used is qualitative and focus groups were used as research designs in the case study of Zimbabwe Open University (ZOU).

Title A name given to the resource STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELLING OF UBIQUITOUS LEARNING AT ZIMBABWEAN SCHOOLS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource GABRIEL KABANDA Description An account of the resource The study tested the application of structural equation modelling (SEM) to ubiquitous learning of selected Zimbabwean schools. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of diffusion factors toward ubiquitous learning in Zimbabwe. The main hypothesis being tested was: “ ICT facilities have a positive effect on the diffusion and adoption of ubiquitous learning in Zimbabwean schools”. Three models fundamental to SEM are confirmatory analysis, causal modes and measurement models. A good model is parsimonious, theoretically justifiable and reproduces the underlying correlation matrix based on the constraints imposed. The methodology used is quantitative where the research design is a survey method. The SEM is a comprehensive methodological approach that allows the analysis of the relationships between observed variables and unobserved/ latent factors. A questionnaire and a scale were administered to heads of computer studies to 15 selected Zimbabwean schools in May 2012. The successful Presidential E-learning programme is the national beacon, vision and national policy direction that should be pursued by all schools, colleges and universities in Zimbabwe. All the schools surveyed were aware of the Presidential e-learning programme. However, the adoption and diffusion of the national e-learning programme exhibited disintegrated efforts in implementation of computerization projects, marginally high digital divide, cyber-bullying among school pupils, inadequate cyber-security technical measures, a huge appetite for computer training, computer literacy rate for teachers ranging from 5% to 80% in some of the schools, little evidence of integration of e-learning into the school curricula, and shocking levels of inadequate networked computing facilities Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available International Journal of Emerging Technology and Advanced Engineering Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2013 e-learning ICTs information systems m-learning SEM Structural Equation Modelling ubiquitous learning https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/acb5a0b17700b2c206a8ad2a428778bd.pdf 64e8d9fc3d47252046e441875d1a3ee2 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 STUDENT RETENTION AS A FUNCTION OF THE QUALITY OF LEARNER SUPPORT IN OPEN AND DISTANCE LEARNING: STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS AT THE ZIMBABWE OPEN UNIVERSITY Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource DAVID CHAKUCHICHI Description An account of the resource Student retention is critically linked to the quality of service in open and distance learning (odl). Peterson (1997) points out that students will form favourable perceptions regarding the quality of their experience and decide to persist. Student retention could therefore be viewed as a function of the learners’ perception of the quality of service and support. Low student retention rates have a negative impact on the perception of the institution. It is, therefore, pertinent to enhance the student retention rate in odl. The study used tinto’s model of student retention as a theoretical base which underpins the need to satisfy students’ social and educational needs in order to retain them. The study is a descriptive survey utilising multistage purposive sampling in order to include students across faculties and regions. The questionnaire and in-depth interviews were the meth- ods of data collection. The results indicated that, student retention was affected by a fees’ prizing policy that did not take into consideration the students’ ability to pay and lack of timely supply of learning materials. It would appear that students’ retention as a function of the affordability fac- tor, was affected by the negative macro-economic environment existent in zimbabwe at the time of the study Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Zimbabwe International Journal of Open & Distance Learning Volume Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2011 Open and Distance Learning Student retention https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/400bca3dabc02eae9ef08f0570aa0c51.pdf e4958170a074bfa4fac8ec18671055f3 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 INFLUENCE OF SUCKLING AND/OR MILKING METHOD ON YIELD AND MILK COMPOSITION IN DAIRY ANIMALS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource N. ASSAN Description An account of the resource Achieving the maximum marketable milk yield with a high fat and protein content is desirable to producers to increase farm profitability. The present discussion points to the fact that rearing systems and milking method used affect either milk yield or milk composition during the entire lactation. Increased milk production elicited by suckling is probably due to the additional stimulus of the mammary gland, and is associated with improved mammary development through regulation of secretion of hormone during this period with markedly increase in milk. Dairy farmers can take advantage of suckling stimulus as a management tool combined with stipulated frequency of machine milking to increase milk production. Restricted suckling may increase total milk production without reducing milk available for human consumption or sale.

MWALE B. MUPETA M. CHIMONYO Description An account of the resource Two dairy concentrates (ram press sunflower and sunflower heads) were formulated locally and their effects on the performance of crossbred dairy cows were compared with that of a commercial dairy concentrate. There were no significant differences in body condition and milk production responses by crossbred dairy cows to sunflower based diets compared to commercial dairy concentrates (p > 0.05). It was suggested that the sunflower based rations can be used as cheaper alternatives to conventional dairy concentrates. The ram press sunflower cake, in particular is an option that may be used by smallholder dairy farmers to formulate local dairy concentrate, which influence dairying to a similar extent as the commercial dairy concentrate but cheaply.
