JEMILA UMER HUSSEN 2025-04-18 This study investigated effect of entrepreneurial characteristics on the organizational performance of selected SMEs in Soyama Town Administration. A descriptive and explanatory research design was employed, coupled with a quantitative approach to facilitate the gathering of comprehensive data. The study’s target population consisted of 268 owner or manager of SMEs. Data was collected from 160 respondents achieved through stratified random sampling to ensure a representative sample. Data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics through IBM SPSS version 25. The descriptive result of the study shows that the mean score of each study variable is above 3.15. The findings revealed that risk-taking propensity, innovativeness, adaptability, and competitive orientation significantly contributed to organizational performance, while proactiveness did not show a significant effect. The results of the regression model summary indicated that the five independent variables (risk-taking propensity, innovativeness, adaptability, proactiveness and competitive orientation) explain about 79.00% of the variation in the level of organizational performance. This implies that while certain entrepreneurial traits are crucial, others may require further exploration to understand their influence. The study recommends that SMEs foster an environment that promotes risk-taking, innovation, and adaptability. Further research can study by including other factors like leadership style, financial management practices, and market conditions. https://zenodo.org/record/6045 10.20372/nadre:6045 oai:zenodo.org:6045 eng doi:10.20372/nadre:6044 url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/jku url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/nadre url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/zenodo info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://www.opensource.org/licenses/afl-3.0.php Risk-Taking Propensity, Innovativeness, Pro- Activeness, Adaptability, And Competitive Orientation, Organizational performance THE EFFECT OF ENTREPRENEURIAL CHARACTERISTICS ON ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE OF SELECTED SMES' IN SOYAMA TOWN ADMINISTRATION info:eu-repo/semantics/doctoralThesis publication-thesis

Defar Elias Gutama Jira 2019-10-10 This study was conducted from August 2017 to March 2018. In this study, both Transect count and point count methods were used. The observation was conducted by walking along the study area early in the morning and late in the afternoon. The collected data was analyzed by using different diversity indices and statistical methods such as the Chi-square test and correlation. The study area was stratified based on the vegetation types in which, each vegetation type was used as a sampling site. In this study observation, a total of 91 bird species that grouped under 19 orders and 41 families were recorded. The highest species diversity and evenness were recorded in November with H"=3.53 and E=0.836. Variation in the abundance of bird species was statistically significant between seasons and months. The mean score of the relative abundance for the wet season count varied between 8.85 and 17.26; for the dry season, it varied between 14.79 and 27.00 among different habitats. The highest rank (mean score) was recorded from the Riverine vegetation with a value of 17.26 and 27.00 during the wet and dry seasons respectively. However, the lowest rank (mean score) was recorded from bushland with a value of 8.85 and 14.79 for both seasons. Birds such as Hamerkop, Malchiteking fisher, and Abyssinian Long claw are endemic bird species to Ethiopia. Shifting cultivation, grazing and poaching were considered major threats to the avifaunal diversity in this area. Awareness training should be given to the local community on a continuous basis.

HABTEMARIAM FIKADU BEREKA 2025-09-05 Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is one of the major vegetable and cash crops cultivated throughout the world including Ethiopia. Garlic productivity in Ethiopia (9.18t ha-1) is very low compared to the world average (18.4t ha-1. Its production is constrained by several factors including lack of productive varieties, improved agronomic practices, diseases and insect pests. Among these, inappropriate type of fertilizer and lack of improved varieties are the major ones. Hence, this experiment was conducted in 2023 at Mihur-Aklil District of Gurage zone, Ethiopia with the objective of investigating the effect of blended fertilizer type on growth, yield and yield attributes of garlic varieties. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design in three replications using 20 treatments formed from factorially combined five garlic varieties (Tsedey, Kuriftu, Chefe, Holeta and local) and four types of blended fertilizers (0, NPS, NPSB and NPSZn ). Data on different Phenological, growth, yield and yield related variables were collected and analyzed using SAS, version 9.3. The analysis of variance showed that most of the studied parameters were significantly affected by the interaction of the two factors. The highest total bulb yield (17.08t ha-1), marketable bulb yield (14.94 ha-1), bulb weight (37.27g), bulb diameter (24.27mm), plant height (77.8cm), leaf length (52.33) and leaf area (38.80cm2) was recorded from Tsedey variety at NPSB blended fertilizer type while the widest leaf width (1.04cm) was recorded from Tsedey variety treated with NPSZn blended fertilizer type and the highest clove weight (2.70g) was recorded from Kuriftu variety treated with NPSZn blended fertilizer type. The partial budget analysis result showed that the highest net benefit of 963881.281Eth-Birr ha-1was obtained from variety Tsedey and NPSB fertilizer. Thus, from the present study, the variety Tsedey and NPSB fertilizer are recommended for economic production in the study area and areas with similar agro-ecological settings. However, since the study was carried out only for one cropping season and in single location, it is as well recommended that to be repeated across seasons and locations. https://zenodo.org/record/17459 10.20372/nadre:17459 oai:zenodo.org:17459 doi:10.20372/nadre:17458 url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/nadre info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://www.opendefinition.org/licenses/cc-by Garlic, varieties, blended fertilizers, yield components, yield RESPONSE OF GARLIC (Allium sativum L.)

AYNALEM SEYOUM MUSE BEKELE 2025-09-05 Land degradation was a significant global issue during the 20th century and remains of high importance in the 21st century as it affects the environment, agronomic productivity, food security, and quality of life. About 99.7% of food is produced from the soil; thus, food security depends directly on soil productivity.Accelerated soil erosion is among the principal causes of the decrease in soil productivity and the increase in risks of global food insecurity.This study aimed to analyze the role of soil conservation practices in household food security in Awada Kebele, Dale Woreda-Sidama Region, Ethiopia. A research methodology, a cross-sectional and descriptive survey involving a qualitative and quantitative approach, was used by the researchers. Using the simple random sampling technique employed for this study,85 respondents were selected as the sample size. The primary data were obtained through a questionnaire, personal observation, a focus discussion group,and an interview. Secondary sources of data were collected from different published as well as unpublished documents, the internet, and reports available in the study area. The quantitative data were presented through the use of percentages, frequencies, tabulations, distributions, figures, and simple descriptive methods, and the qualitative data were interpreted using different words in order to achieve the end objectives of the study and answer the formulated research questions. The study confirmed that the predominant activities commonly identified as contributing to land resource degradation through anthropogenic and topographic factors. Even though soil conservation has many challenges, including the severity of soil erosion due to climatic factors, a lack of management skills and technical support, the steep topography of the land, and the lack of capital for practicing SCT, this study finally recommends that soil conservation is a multidimensional impact worthy of consideration to be incorporated into policy interventions by NGOs or government-designed projects. Development agents of the woreda or other project officers should give maximum attention to the dissemination of information about soil conservation technology to combat food insecurity. https://zenodo.org/record/17455 10.20372/nadre:17455 oai:zenodo.org:17455 doi:10.20372/nadre:17454 url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/nadre info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://www.opendefinition.org/licenses/cc-by Soil Conservation Techniques Food Security L CONSERVATION TECHNIQUES IN ENHANCING FOOD SECURITY;THE CASE OF AWADA KEBELE DALE WOREDA SIDAMA REGION-ETHIOPIA info:eu-repo/semantics/doctoralThesis publication-thesis

Kibatu Tiruha 2023-06-08 This thesis mainly presents the study of theoretical investigation of the size and shape dependent melting temperature on transition metal clusters (Cr, W, and Mo) with their special parameter of shape factor are theoretically and analytically used in thermodynamic mode. Particle shape is considered by introducing a shape factor. According to our study, if the size of particle decreases, the ratio melting temperatures of transition metal clusters increase, and if the shape factor of the parameter increases, the ratio melting temperatures of transition metal clusters decrease. The melting temperature generally decreases with increasing cluster size, due to the increased surface-to-volume ratios. This increased ratio makes it easier for the atoms of the surface to escape from the cluster, leading to a lower melting temperature. https://zenodo.org/record/17463 10.20372/nadre:17463 oai:zenodo.org:17463 doi:10.20372/nadre:17462 url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/nadre info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://www.opendefinition.org/licenses/cc-by of theoretical size investigation and Theoretical Investigation of Size and Shape Dependent Melting Temperature on Transition Metal Clusters info:eu-repo/semantics/doctoralThesis publication-thesis

Alemu Birara Zemariam Yabibal Berie Tadesse Abebe Tarekegn Kassaw 2025-09-14 Background: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) refers to any HIV treatment that uses a combination of two or more drugs to suppress viral load and preserve immunofunction. Despite the success of ART, adverse events persist, in particular in patients with baseline viral loads >100,000 copies/mL. Apart from premarketing surveillance, the safety and risk profile of dolutegravir has not been thoroughly researched in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the prevalence and patterns of adverse drug events among HIV-infected adult patients on dolutegravir-based ART regimens at Amhara comprehensive specialized hospitals, northwest Ethiopia. Methods: A retrospective follow-up study was conducted from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021 at Amhara comprehensive specialized hospitals, with a sample size of 423. Simple random sampling was employed and data collected using kobo tool box software by four trained BSc nurses from March to April, 2022. SPSS 25 was used for analysis. Descriptive summary statistics are used and data presented using tables and text. Results: A total of 372 patient charts were included in the final analysis, and the prevalence of adverse events associated with dolutegravir was found to be 37.6% (95% CI 32.1%–42.1%). Nearly two-thirds (60.7%) of the participants had neuropsychiatric symptoms, followed by gastrointestinal symptoms (23.6%) and hepatic problems (7.14%). All recorded adverse events were mild. Conclusion: Dolutegravir adverse events were relatively low compared to previous studies. Common adverse events reported were neuropsychiatric symptoms and gastrointestinal symptoms, followed by hepatic and renal events. All adverse events were mild and none was severe or life-threatening events. Therefore, we recommend the use of dolutegravir in clinical settings. https://zenodo.org/record/18415 10.20372/nadre:18415 oai:zenodo.org:18415 eng doi:10.20372/nadre:18414 url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/nadre url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/wu url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/zenodo info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ adverse drug event, antiretroviral therapy, dolutegravir, HIV Prevalence and Patterns of Adverse Drug Events Among Adult Patients with Human Immune Virus Infection on Dolutegravir-Based Antiretroviral Drug Regimens in Amhara Comprehensive Specialized Hospitals, Northwest Ethiopia: A Multicenter Retrospective Follow-Up Study info:eu-repo/semantics/article publication-article

Misganaw Guadie Tiruneh Adane Kebede Demiss Mulatu Geberu Sefineh Fenta Feleke 2025-09-14 Abstract Objective: Emergency obstetric and newborn care services treat 70–80% of maternal deaths. This study aimed to assess satisfaction with comprehensive emergency obstetric and newborn care (CEmONC) services and associated factors among clients in the University of Gondar Specialized Hospital. Methods: Institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 404 participants using a systematic random sampling method. The study was conducted from March 5 to May 5, 2020, using interviewer-administered structured questionnaires. Binary logistic regression was used to find the association between independent variables and client satisfaction. The level of statistical significance was declared at a p value less than 0.05. Results: The overall clients’ satisfaction with CEmONC services was 65.1% (95% confidence interval (CI): 60.9–69.8). Clients’ satisfaction was affected by women who had antenatal care (ANC) of three visits (adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 6.5; 95%, CI: 2.04–20.8), women waited less than 15 min (AOR: 4.15, 95% CI: 1.9–9.06), mothers stayed ⩽1 day (AOR: 0.28, 95% CI: 0.09–0.9) and 2–3 days (AOR: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.1–0.69), obtaining a welcoming environment (AOR: 4.6, 95% CI: 2.15–9.88), and getting providers explanation of examinations (AOR: 3.3, 95% CI: 1.97–5.52). Conclusion: The observed clients’ satisfaction with CEmONC services was suboptimal. Having ANC of three visits, waiting less than 15 min, duration of stay, obtaining a welcoming environment, and an explanation of providers’ examination were the identified factors of client’s satisfaction. Therefore, hospital managers and health professionals should work on the identified factors to increase the client’s satisfaction with these services. https://zenodo.org/record/18411 10.20372/nadre:18411 oai:zenodo.org:18411 eng doi:10.20372/nadre:18410 url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/nadre url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/wu url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/zenodo info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ Client satisfaction, comprehensive emergency obstetric and newborn care services, University of Gondar Specialized Hospital Satisfaction with comprehensive emergency obstetric and newborn care services and associated factors among clients in University of Gondar Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia: A cross-sectional study info:eu-repo/semantics/article publication-article

It is a devastating disease with great impacts on physical, social, mental, and economical health. Objective To determine the prevalence of neurolathyrism and its associated factors in grass pea cultivation areas of Dawunt wereda. Methods Community based cross-sectional study design was conducted from February 01- March 30, 2021 on 631 Households with a total of 3,350 individuals. Two-stage random sampling technique was used to select participants. Multilevel binary logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with neurolathyrism. Statistical significance was declared at p < 0.05; and AOR with 95% CI was used to interpret the results. Results The household and population level prevalence of neurolathyrism in Dawunt district were 9.2% (7.2 11.7%) and 2.4% (2.0-2.3.0%) respectively. Age (AOR = 7.4 ( 2.6–20.6)), male sex (AOR = 7.8 (3.9, 15.4)), and marital status (AOR = 4.0 (1.3–12.8)) were the individual level variables; family size (AOR = 12.6 (3.0-52.8)), annual grass pea production (AOR = 5.0 (2.3–11.0)), ever feeding only grass pea (AOR = 8.8(3.5–22.2)), ever feeding immature seeds of grass pea (AOR = 6.28 (2.80, 14.08)), high grass pea to other cereals mixing ratio (> 3:1) (AOR = 6.1 (1.1, 33.5)) were the household level variables found to have significant association with neurolathyrism. Conclusion The prevalence of neurolathyrism was found to be high. Ever feeding only grass pea, Grass pea to other cereals mixing ratio (using ratio of 1:1 or more), and Ever feeding immature grass pea seeds were the modifiable risk factors for neurolathyrism. https://zenodo.org/record/18413 10.20372/nadre:18413 oai:zenodo.org:18413 eng doi:10.20372/nadre:18412 url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/nadre url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/wu url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/zenodo info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://www.opendefinition.org/licenses/cc-by Neurolathyrism, Prevalence, Dawunt, Ethiopia Prevalence of Neurolathyrism and its associated factors in Grass pea cultivation areas of Dawunt District, North-eastern Ethiopia; 2022: a community based multilevel analysis info:eu-repo/semantics/article publication-article

However, data use for decision-making practices has been significantly low in devel oping countries, especially in Ethiopia. Hence, it is critical to ascertain which elements influence the health sector’s decision to adopt big health data analytics in health sectors. The aim of this study was to identify the level of readiness for big health data analytics and its associated factors in healthcare sectors. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was conducted among 845 target employees using the structural equation modeling approach by using technological, organizational, and environ mental (TOE) frameworks. The target population of the study was health sector managers, di rectors, team leaders, healthcare planning officers, ICT/IT managers, and health professionals. For data analysis, exploratory factor analysis using SPSS 20.0 and structural equation modeling using AMOS software were used. Result: 58.85 % of the study participants had big health data analytics readiness. Complexity (CX), Top management support (TMS), training (TR) and government law policies and legislation (GLAL) and government IT policies (GITP) had positive direct effect, compatibility (CT), and optimism (OP) had negative direct effect on BD readiness (BDR) Conclusion: The technological, organizational, and environmental factors significantly contributed to big health data readiness in the healthcare sector. The Complexity, compatibility, optimism, Top management support, training (TR) and government law and IT policies (GITP) had effect on big health data analytics readiness. Formulating efficient reform in healthcare sectors, especially for evidence-based decision-making and jointly working with stakeholders will be more relevant for effective implementation of big health data analytics in healthcare sectors. https://zenodo.org/record/18409 10.20372/nadre:18409 oai:zenodo.org:18409 eng doi:10.20372/nadre:18408 url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/nadre url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/wu url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/zenodo info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://www.opendefinition.org/licenses/cc-by Big health data Data analytics Data management Health information revolution Health sectors Readiness Readiness of big health data analytics by technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework in Ethiopian health sectors info:eu-repo/semantics/article publication-article

Biruk Beletew Abate Ashenafi Kibret Sendekie Abay Woday Tadesse Tesfaye Engdaw Ayelign Mengesha Alemu Birara Zemariam Addis Wondmagegn Alamaw Gebremeskel Abebe Molla Azmeraw 2025-09-14 Introduction: Resilience is the dynamic adaptive process of maintaining or recovering mental health from stressors, such as trauma, challenging life circumstances, critical transitions, or physical illnesses. Resilience after adversity can be fostered through protective factors and the implementation of interventions that promote resilience. Hence, it is essential to investigate both protective and vulnerable factors to reduce the negative effects of unfavorable life events and increase resilience through positive risk-response interventions. Objective: To assess the effect of previous adversity, protecting factors, and resilience-promoting interventions to possess resilience after adversity in a global context. Methods: The study included English language articles sourced from PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Webof Sciences, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Scopus, and Google Scholar published before 15 April 2024. These articles reported the effect of adversity, protecting factors, and/or resilience-promoting interventions to possess resilience after adversity in a global context without a population age limitation. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews. A weighted inverse-variance random-effects model was applied to find the pooled estimates. The subgroup analysis, heterogeneity, publication bias, and sensitivity analysis were also assessed. Results: A total of 44 articles (n = 556,920 participants) were included in this umbrella review. From the random-effects model analysis, the pooled effect of adversity on the development of resilience was 0.25 (p < 0.001). The pooled effects of adversity-protective factors and resilience-promoting interventions after adversitywere0.31 (p < 0.001) and 0.42 (p < 0.001), respectively. The pooled effects of specific adversity protective factors were 0.26, 0.09, 0.05, 0.34, 0.23, and 0.43 for the availability of support, cognitive ability, community cohesion, positive self-perception, religious involvement, and self-regulation, respectively. The pooled effects of specific resilience-promoting interventions were 0.30, 0.21, 0.51, and 0.52 for cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) interventions, mindfulness-based interventions, mixed interventions, and resilience-promoting interventions, respectively Conclusion: The findings of this umbrella review revealed that people who experienced early adversity can develop resilience later in life. The study highlights the need to consider adversity protective factors, such as availability of support (family, friends, and school), cognitive ability, community cohesion, positive self-perception, religious involvement, and self-regulation, and resilience-promoting interventions, including CBT interventions, mindfulness based interventions, and mixed interventions, to enhance resilience promotion programs https://zenodo.org/record/18407 10.20372/nadre:18407 oai:zenodo.org:18407 doi:10.20372/nadre:18406 url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/nadre url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/wu url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/zenodo info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://www.opendefinition.org/licenses/cc-by adversity, resilient, protecting factors, interventions, umbrella review Resilience after adversity: an umbrella review of adversity protective factors and resilience promoting interventions info:eu-repo/semantics/article publication-article
