SUMMARY: Cross - sectional study on Chicken Salmonella prevalence, and associated risk factors in Asossa town, Benishangul Gumuz Regional State was carried out from September 2024 to Febuarary 2025 with the objectives to determine the prevalence of Salmonellosis from small householder farmstead/ local poultry farm, and assessment of the risk factors associated with salmonella infection. For this purpose, a total of 384 cloacal swab samples were collected and were subjected to various cultural and biochemical examinations, 87(22.65%) of the positive isolates were identified.  In this study, previous treatment history, body conditions and salmonella species were potential risk factors, which were statistically significant for salmonella infection (p<0.05) whereas origin/sites/ and sex groups were not significant (p>0.05).   The antimicrobial susceptibility profile of all isolates were assessed against six antimicrobials by disk diffusion technique; almost all isolates were resistant to one or more of the tested antimicrobials. 73.07%, 65.38%, 30.76 %, 26.92%, 15.38%, and 11.53% of the isolates were resistant to Tetracycline, Streptomycin, Trimthoprim, Chloramphenicol, Gentamycine, and Ciprofloxacillin respectively. However, the majority of the isolates were susceptible to Ciprofloxacin and Gentamycin, Chloramphenicol,  followed by Trimethoprim. This is a significant threat to public health particularly to those who have direct or indirect contact to poultry and poultry products so that hygienic management of poultry and its products in order to reduce the risk and selection of antimicrobials by antimicrobial sensitivity test were  also suggested.

Abstract: Ensuring the integration of academic subjects contributes to strengthening students' knowledge and enriching their understanding of the topics being studied. Therefore, attention is given to using interdisciplinary integration in the educational process. However, achieving interdisciplinary integration is a complex process, where the teacher's experience, professional competence, and skills play a crucial role. In the educational process, geography teachers need to focus on specific aspects of utilizing the interconnection and unity of geographical and mathematical knowledge. The article discusses aspects and factors that should be considered in ensuring the integration of mathematical and geographical subjects to develop students' cartographic knowledge.

ABSTRACT:  A cross-sectional study was conducted  in Asossa Districts of Benishangul Gumuz Regional State, Western Ethiopia from September 2024 to Febuary, 2025 to determine donkey trypanosomosis prevalence, prevailing trypanosomes species, and associated risk factors.  Blood samples collected from (n= 384) randomly sampled. Dark phase contrast buffy coat procedures were used for determining prevalence. Whereas, haematocrit method was used for packed cell volume (PCV) values determination.  Out of total 100 samples, 20/100 (20%) were found trypanosome positive.  Based on Predominant trypanosome species among recorded were Trypanosome congolense (36.4%), Trypanosome vivax (6.81%), Trypanosome brucei (4.54%) and mixed infection (2.27%).  There were statistically significant differences concerning existing trypanosome species (P< 0.05).  Mean packed cell volume (PCV) value of the parasitic animals was lower (19.04%) than a parasitic animals (25.01%) and the variation was statistically significant (P< 0.05). Sex groups, study sites, and age categories (P> 0.05) were demonstrated non-significant risk factors, however; body conditions, pcv status and trypanosome species were found significant (p<0.05). In conclusion, the current study showed high trypanosomosis prevalence in the area reflecting the need for strategic control measures.

Abstract: There are many mysteries and unsolved issues in the monsoonal climate and Weather systems that cannot explain and solve. I proposed and designed the Basics of Monsoon Time Scales for all world global, regional, local monsoon systems along with countries for unraveling the mysteries of climate, weather, monsoons; studying the characteristics of mechanism of climate, weather and monsoons and exercising the benefits of mankind and development of monsoonal climate and weather sciences.  According to the researches and studies on the Monsoon Time Scales, it is known that there will be major global climate changes in the coming years "i.e"  heavy rains, floods and storms etc. will occur until about 2075 and there will be droughts and famines etc. until about 2150. Through the establishment of Monsoon Time Scales, we can know the future consequences of the climate changes. Plans can be made accordingly. So, scientists can establish the Monsoon Time Scale and predict what is going to happen in the monsoonal climate in the coming years roughly. I call on the world scientists to design and establish the Monsoon Time Scales following the Basics of Monsoon Time Scales outlined below, based on the India Monsoon Time Scale which is successfully proved out in practice. Borneo-Australian monsoon is a key system in  global monsoon systems. I have conducted many scientific researches on this monsoon system  and as a part these researches, I proposed and designed the Basics of Borneo-Australian  Monsoon Time Scale  which can help to study the past, present and future conditions of the Borneo-Australian  monsoon. In the current year 2022, the pre-path of Indian summer monsoon was traveling upwards and reached to the 29th June. Below this, the main-path of Indian summer monsoon also traveled upwards parallel to the pre-path of Indian summer monsoon with a difference of about 30 days and reached to the 29th July, As it moves further up, changes in the climate are likely increasing and there are more chances of heavy rains and floods in the coming years.
