Household Savings Decision in Debre Markos Town, Ethiopia: An Application of Double Hurdle Model[ ]


Household saving is one of the most important inducing factors of capital accumulation for investment and growth. In fact, several studies try to understand savers’ behavior. Nevertheless, added to inconsistent conclusions, there is an observed knowledge gap owing to the methods of analysis. Most studies used Ordinary Least Square (OLS) and Tobit models by ignoring the two-stage nature of household saving decision which results in biased parameter estimates. Hence, the study tries to investigate the determinants of household savings participation and the amount decision independently.

Acceleration due to gravity variation of the earth with time[ ]


Acceleration due to gravity is the intrinsic and inherent property of matter, if there is mass then there is gravity. Gravity is nothing but it’s just an attraction force acted by systems which are acting continuously on other system which is having unit mass. In fact gravity is described by classical system in which, having a significant mass so that it can influence to other objects too. Acceleration due to gravity of each and every objects depend on the mass and distance of object from the centre of mass of the object which is acting on other body. Same thing is also following by our earth. Our earth is a huge body which is having enormous mass and large radius so that gravity or acceleration due to gravity is held by our earth is in significant amount. Our earth is having significant and affecting acceleration due to gravity and it is around 10 m/s2.

COMPLEMENTARY FEEDING PRACTICES AND NUTRITIONAL STATUS OF HIV EXPOSED INFANTS AGED 6- 24 MONTHS ATTENDING eMTCT DEPARTMENT AT GOMBE HOSPITAL, BUTAMBALA DISTRICT[ ]


Breast milk contains less bioavailable iron and almost negligible vitamin D. A gradual decline in tissue stores of iron, vitamin A, vitamin D and other micronutrients occur in infants, starting at birth until infants are 24 months old. Exclusive breastfeeding alone cannot provide the nutrients required by the infants to meet their normal nutritional needs at 6 months until 24 months of age. At 6 months of age, the nutritional needs for energy, protein and micronutrients increases in infants than before the age of 6 months. Breast milk alone cannot fully nourish the infant’s body for physical growth and mental development. It is very important to give infants nutritious family foods in order to meet their nutritional requirements, combined with continued breastfeeding until 24 months old.

A Review on Formulation of nanaoparticles: liposomal formulation[ ]


Pharmacotherapy is the most appropriate approach for treating a disease and provide the treatment either symptomatic or definite for curing a disease. There are various routes of administration of a drug but the route which is most important and mostly used without any invasive procedure is oral route. But there are some drawbacks of this mostly used route as pre-systemic elimination of drug as well as the first pass hepatic effect of a drug. The most important feature of a drug to give its utmost benefit is its bioavailabiloity and which is also limited of some drugs given orally due to various factors affecting it like membrane permeability, pharmacokinetic features, solubility as well as the rate of dissolution. To overcome all these factors affecting the drug bioavailabulity some modifications are done to get the proper effect of drug like to increase solubility these drugs are prepared in nano formulation to provide the maximum concentration at the required site of action.

A STUDY OF DEFORMATION AROUND THE KOREA STRAIT PRIOR TO Mw9.0 TOHOKU EARTHQUAKE[ ]


On 11 March 2011, a great earthquake with magnitude 9.0 has occurred in Tohoku, Japan, more than 1,000 km from South Korea. In fact, seismicity rate in South Korea has increased since the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, although detailed evaluation of its effects on the Korean Peninsula remains incomplete. Now, the high precision space geodesy techniques play a key role in monitoring the crustal strain state and energy variation. This study attempts to evaluate crustal deformation around the Korean Strait after 2011 Tohoku earthquake through a detailed analysis recorded by GPS. Moreover, this study found a different fault characteristic in Japan affect the station displacement prior to GPS data observed among 2011 to 2012.

BIOINFORMATIVE TOOL FOR ACURATE IDENTIFICATION AND PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIP OF BACTERIA COMMUNITY OF FERMENTING AFRICAN OIL BEAN[ ]


Alkaline fermentation of African oil bean seed (Pentaclethra macrophylla) results into a product called ugba which is consumed by over 20 million people in Nigeria. Most works on the fermentation of African oil bean seed into ugba have focused on isolation and identification of desirable microorganisms involved in the fermentation process. These organisms were detected using the routine culture-based method with its inherent weaknesses in detecting and resolving the identity of some organisms, especially the viable but unculturable ones. There is no information on the application of molecular and bio-informative tools in the study of microbial community associated with fermenting African oil bean seed. In this study, molecular (cloned library) technique and bio informative tools were deployed to evaluate the microbial ecology of fermenting African oil bean seed.

The Assessment of Management Accounting practice in Omo Kuraz Sugar Development Project Coordinating organization, in Salamago Woreda, South Omo Zone, SNNPRE, Ethiopia[ ]


Hilton and Platt (2011) stated that management accounting is the process of identifying, measuring, analyzing, interpreting and communicating information in pursuit of organization’s goals. Management accounting is integral part of management process. Hilton and Platt (2011) also stated that management accountants are important strategic partners in an organization’s domestic and international management teams. Usually, the larger the organization is, the greater is management’s need for information. The term management accounting is consisting of two words ‘management’ and ‘accounting’. The word ‘management’ refers to all level managers in the organization. The primary purpose of management accounting in the organization is to help management doing their function by collecting, processing, and communicating information. The word ‘accounting’ not only refer to a mere record of business transaction but also cover other field of study.

The Commodity Basket Monetary System: The Pros, Cons, and Relevance to Developing Countries by Mela Yila Dogo[ ]


The commodity basket monetary system (CBMS) is a system where the unit of account is tied to a basket of commodities rather than to a single commodity. The value of the country’s currency was tied to a value of a basket of commodities rather than to one or two commodities. The CBMS was designed to deliver on a monetary policy that counteracts rather than exacerbates, the effects of swings in exchange rates and the value of money while offering day-to-day transparency and predictability of a currency peg and achieving the goal of stability in a flexible exchange system.
