GREAT SUPPLIERS THEORY – (An Offer based Market Segmentation Framework)

Abstract Great Suppliers theory “states that there are six types of offers that permanently exist in all markets and their count of existence is not affected by factors.” The Six Types of Offers : 1. Alternative : An offer which aims to provide better product than those which are available by creating a different segment of customers . 2. Twin brothers : An offer which aims to provide Identical products to the same as available in market to cover the gap and to serve a large populatio...

Government Expenditure and Economic Growth: Does Corruption and Democracy Matter?

This study investigated the potential role of corruption and democracy in the expenditure-economic growth nexus. Economic literature predicts economic growth-enhancing activities of various core functions of government. However, excess government expenditure, in corrupt and undemocratic countries, may slow down the overall performance of the economy through rent-seeking activities, ineffectiveness and engaging in unproductive projects. The research objective is to analyze the role of democrac...

The creator who gave us the ability of speech never intended us to forgo it's use. Free Speech is very important to the d...

Analyzing the Critical Impact of Climate Change on Agriculture and Food Security

This study explores the threats of climate change on agriculture and food security globally, focusing on Nigeria. Nigeria, as the most populous country in Africa, is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change on its agricultural sector. The research conducts a comprehensive literature review and synthetic analysis to identify the key factors that make Nigeria's food production systems susceptible to climate change. Nigeria's diverse climate, influenced by latitude, topography, win...

Factors Associated with Poor Utilisation of Antenatal Care among Pregnant Women in Selected Healthcare Centers in Ovia North East Local Government Area

Antenatal care (ANC) refers to the care that is given to a pregnant woman from the time that conception is confirmed until the beginning of labor, Viccars and Maputle (2015). Antenatal care is a key strategy for reducing matemal morbidity and mortality directly through detection and treatment of pregnancy related illness, or indirectly through detection of women at risk of complications of delivery and ensuring that they deliver in a suitably equipped facility Chandhiok, Dhillon, Kambo and Sa...

PROTOCOL OPTIMIZATION FOR IN VITRO PROPAGATION OF THREE SELECTED ENSET (Ensete ventricosum (Welw.) Cheesman) VARIETIES; YANBULE, MESENA AND ENDALE THROUGH SHOOT TIP CULTURE

Abstract: Enset (Ensete ventricosum (Welw.) Chessman) has socio-cultural, ethno-medicinal and economic use values. Nearly all enset genotypes are being threatened by bacterial wilt disease upon conventional propagation. Therefore, this research was designed to develop mass in vitro propagation protocol for three elite enset varieties from shoot tip explants. The experiment was laid out in CRD with three replications in factorial arrangement. Apart from ethanol (70%), sodium hypochlorite (NaO...

Abstract: The ABO blood group system is a genetic polymorphism that leads to phenotypic polymorphism. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between malaria, particularly P. falciparum and P.vivax malaria, and the distribution of the ABO and Rh (D) blood group systems in Miesso district of West Hararge Zone of Oromia Regional State. A case-control study design was carried out from November to January 2016. A total of 168 people participated in this study. Blood group da...

FREQUENCIES OF ABO AND Rh-D BLOOD GROUPS AMONG STUDENTS OF LEMEN SECONDARY AND PREPARATORY SCHOOL, SOUTH-WEST SHAWA, OROMIA, ETHIOPIA

Abstract: Frequencies of ABO and Rhesus (Rh-D) blood groups phenotypes, alleles, and genotypes vary geographically, ethnically and from one population to another. Some variations may even occur within one ethnic group and within one small country. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the frequencies of ABO and Rh-D Blood Groups phenotypes, alleles and genotypes among students of Lemen Secondary and Preparatory School, South-West Shawa, Zone, Oromia, Ethiopia.

CULTIVATION OF EDIBLE OYSTER MUSHROOMS (Pleurotus ostreatus AND Pleurotus florida) USING MILLET [Eleusine coracana(L)] STRAW AND BROAD BEAN [Vicia faba(L)] STALK AS GROWTH SUBSTRATES

Abstract: Most developing countries like Ethiopia are striving hard to solve acute protein deficiency in the diets of their increasing populations through cultivation of mushrooms in the urban areas without heavily depending on agricultural lands and capital. This study was conducted in Debre Berhan University, College of Natural and computational Sciences, with the aim of assessing the proximate chemical composition, biological efficiency and suitability of the selected substrates (Millet s...

ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITIES OF EXTRACTS FROM SELECTED MEDICINAL PLANTS AGAINST SOME BACTERIAL AND FUNGAL PATHOGENS

Abstract: Many microorganisms have the potential to cause diseases for which the human body is prone. The discovery of antibiotics has, however, provided important tools to combat bacterial diseases. But due to the indiscriminate use of commercial antimicrobial drugs in the treatment of infectious diseases multiple drug resistance has developed among some pathogens. This creates a need for searching new effective and safe antimicrobial therapeutic agents. The aim of this study was to test th...

PRODUCTION OFEDIBLE OYSTER MUSHROOM SPECIES (pleurotus ostreatus, pleurotus sajor-caju, pleurotus florida)USING COFFEE(coffea arabica L.) HUSK AND KHAT(Catha edulis) LEAF AS GROWTH SUBSTRATES

Abstract: Biogas technology, which is meant to produce methane rich gas through anaerobic digestion of biological materials, is an environmentally friendly technology that reduces emission of green house gases. Therefore, this research was initiated to utilize biomasses such as barley straw (BS) and goat manure (GM) for biogas production. In this study, biogas production from co-digestion of the BS and GM in five mix ratios (100%BS, 75%BS: 25%GM, 50%BS: 50%GM, 25%BS: 75%GM and 100%GM mix) we...
