Scientific mapping of the nexus between entrepreneurial orientation and environmental sustainability
Entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and environmental sustainability (ES) has recently become the subject of extensive research. The objective of this paper is to comprehensively analyze of EO and ES by conducting a bibliometric network and systematic review analysis of over ten years of publications. A total of 390 articles were identified using the Scopus and Mendeley search engines. One hundred-eighteen articles published in 53 journals between 2…
Covid-19 preventive practices and associated factors among high school and preparatory school students in Dessie City, Ethiopia
Background As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to ravage the world, the most pretentious sector besides the economy is the education system. Ethiopia is not equipped with the infrastructure and facilities to provide online classes for students at all levels. Hence, all institutions were re-opened with mandatory infection prevention and control (IPC) protocols such as the use of face masks, physical distancing, shifts in classes, and routine hand w…
Knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of Covid-19 vaccine and refusal to receive Covid-19 vaccine among healthcare workers in northeastern Ethiopia
The willingness of HCWs to get vaccinated against COVID-19 was relatively high among HCWs. Negative attitudes and poor perceptions towards the anticipated COVID-19 vaccination were significant factors to refuse to be vaccinated. Our findings may provide information for the management authorities and stakeholders to promote and improve attitudes, knowledge and perceptions towards COVID-19 vaccination uptake among HCWs
The Covid-19 pandemic
It is very exceptional that a new disease becomes a true pandemic. Since its emergence in Wuhan, China, in late 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19, has spread to nearly all countries of the world in only a few months. However, in different countries, the COVID-19 epidemic takes variable shapes and forms in how it affects communities. Until now, the insights gained on COVID-19 have be…
Barriers of persistent long-lasting insecticidal nets utilization in villages around Lake Tana, Northwest Ethiopia
Non-persistent LLIN use was associated with inconvenient bed net design and early damage; non-potency of the insecticide against other arthropods; facilitation of bedbug infestation; unintended uses; wrong perceptions about malaria, mosquitoes, and LLINs; and inadequate follow-up regarding LLINs utilization. Distribution of conical nets and provision of adequate information on LLINs and malaria may promote persistent use. Using an insecticide tha…
Perceptions of health and illness among the Konso people of southwestern Ethiopia
BACKGROUND: Cross-cultural studies indicate that every culture has its own particular explanations for health and illness and its own healing strategies. The Konso people have always practiced indigenous medicine and have multifaceted accounts or multiple dimensions of illness perceptions and health-care beliefs and practices. This paper describes how perceptions of health and illness are instrumental in health and treatment outcomes among the Ko…
HIV/Aids among pastoralists and refugees in north-east Africa
The eight member states (Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan and Uganda) of the Intergovernmental Authority for Development (IGAD) have the largest proportions of cross-border mobile pastoralists and refugees in Africa. Although all IGAD countries have had national HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment programmes since the late 1980s, the IGAD Regional HIV & AIDS Partnership Program was (IRAPP) established in 2007 to…
Current state and trends of access to sanitation in Ethiopia and the need to revise indicators to monitor progress in the Post-2015 era
The sanitation coverage is far from the MDG target and the majority of the population, mainly the urban poor, are living in a polluted environment, exposed to water and sanitation-related diseases. The sanitation coverage estimates might be even lower if proper utilization, regular emptying, and fecal sludge management (FSM) of dry pit latrines were considered as indicators. In order to enhance sanitation services for all in the post-MDG era, urg…
Knowledge and perceptions about the health impact of climate change among health sciences students in Ethiopia
Health sciences students at Haramaya University may benefit from a more comprehensive curriculum on climate change and its impacts on health
Domestic water use in a rural village in Minas Gerais, Brazil, with an emphasis on spatial patterns, sharing of water, and factors in water use
This paper examines the relationship between domestic water use and socioeconomic, environmental, and spatial parameters at the household level in a small rural village in northern Minas Gerais State. Five methods are used direct observation, household interviews, self-reporting by households, regression analysis, and statistical mapping. Results show that water use is characterized by 1) generally low but widely fluctuating values per person per…
Sociocultural aspects of schistosomiasis mansoni in an endemic area in Minas Gerais, Brazil
A study to determine the sociocultural factors influencing knowledge, attitudes, and practices of individuals from a small community toward Schistosoma mansoni infection was carried out in an endemic area in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The study used qualitative approaches to collect data from school-aged children and teachers. Specific findings were that the individuals interviewed were aware of the disease, but also held inaccurate popul…

Malnutrition and Mortality During Recent Famines in Ethiopia
The 1972-73 and 1984-85 famines varied significantly among different populations within famine areas at the regional, community and household levels. Political and social factors were crucial in this pattern. Evidence from both pastoral and farming areas indicates that the development of community-based resources may be less disruptive socially and economically and result in less morbidity and mortality than dependence on relief shelters. Areas n…

Peasant Irrigation Development and Food Production in Ethiopia
This paper examines the development and constraints of small-scale irrigation in Ethiopia, and its role in food production, particularly since the 1984/85 famine. Although irrigated agriculture in Ethiopia probably predates the Axum empire, it is still unimportant in the densely populated highlands. The government-sponsored small-scale irrigation programme, although resulting in increased production in some producer cooperatives, has been plagued…

Utilization of selected hospitals, health centres and health stations in Central, Southern and Western Ethiopia
Social and Ecological Aspects of Resettlement and Villagization among the Konso of Southwestern Ethiopia
TEKLEMARIAM AYELE2This is a study of the changing settlement and land use patterns of the Konso in three peasant associations in southwestern Ethiopia and an evaluation of their attitudes toward government-sponsored villagization in the lowlands. Over the years, the Konso have moved spontaneously from the overpopulated highlands toward lower elevations and have recently begun to cultivate on the Yanda plain, but without settling there. Fear of tr…
Settler migration during the 1984/85 resettlement programme in Ethiopia
Development, Drought, and Famine in the Awash Valley of Ethiopia
While the proximal causes of drought in the Sahel and northeast Africa are known to be due to failure of seasonal rains, possibly linked with long-range climatic changes (Tanaka et al., 1975; Winstanley, 1973; Kelley, 1975; Lamb, 1977), the more persistent problem of human adaptation and survival in increasingly man-made environments during natural disasters is only gradually being appreciated. In recent years emphasis has been placed on man's ac…

The Ethiopian Population
This paper examines the temporal spatial and altitudinal distribution of the Ethiopian population with an emphasis on the 1984 census the first national census to be carried out in Ethiopia. Differential rural/urban growth and geographical/altitudinal patterns are analysed in relation to economic demographic political and historical factors. This is the first population study of woredas the smallest administrative units in Ethiopia. (EXCERPT
