Soil erosion assessment and control in Northeast Wollega, Ethiopia
2018
Soil erosion is the main driver of land degradation in Ethiopia, and in the whole region of East Africa. This study was conducted at the Northeast Wollega in West Ethiopia to estimate the soil losses by means of the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE). The purpose of this paper is to identify erosion spot areas and target locations for appropriate development of soil and water conservation measures. Fieldwork and household survey were conducted to identify major determinants of soil erosion control. Six principal factors were used to calculate soil loss per year, such as rainfallerosivity, soil erodiblity, slope length, slope steepness, crop management and erosion-control practices…
Evaluation of micro shear bonding strength of two universal dentin bondings to superficial dentin by self etch and etch-and-rinse strategies
2018
Background Universal bondings can be used either with the etch-and-rinse or self-etch technique. Thus, the present study was done to evaluate the micro-shear bonding strength of two types of Universal Bondings to superficial dentin i.e self-etch and etch and rinse. Material and Methods The samples included 70 tooth blocks taken from 35 extracted sound premolar teeth. The superficial dentin was exposed to grinding by 800 grit silicon carbide Disk. The samples were randomly divided into 5 equal groups (14 samples in each group). Scotch bond universal (3M/USA) and All bond universal (BISCO/USA) were applied by self-etch and etch and rinse technique in group 1-4 and Adper Single bond 2 (3M/USA)…
El debate de la universidad necesaria actual y la (re)formación o educación de los adultos
2005
El supòsit de la “pedagogia informacional” radica que, els vertaders rendiments educatius per a respondre a les exigències d’”aprendre a aprendre per a tota la vida” implica disposar de les habilitats d’usar i processar la informació en totes les seues dimensions: accés, anàlisi, interpretació, avaluació, producció, etc. La importància de la globalització dins del context econòmic s’ha anat incrementant continuadament com ja preconitzava Alvin Toffler en la seua obra “El xoc del futur”, es tracta d’una dinàmica de canvi creixent que obliga a un proc…
University radio training in the transmedia model: the case of Ràdio Universitat (2011-2015)
2017
espanolEl presente estudio muestra la evolucion de Radio Universitat, primera emisora de radio que tuvo la Universitat de Valencia, desde el momento de su creacion en 2011 hasta el cese de las emisiones durante el ano 2015. A traves de estudios cualitativos y cuantitativos de la produccion de la emisora se demuestra su insercion, desde el primer curso, en el movimiento transmedia, la evolucion que ofrecio la programacion para ser mas accesible a la comunidad universitaria y la importancia que tiene en la formacion del estudiantado de los grados en Periodismo y Comunicacion Audiovisual. De esta manera, se apuesta por la relevancia de una plataforma multimedia de este tipo para la formacion d…
Muratorian urban morphology: the walled city of Ahmedabad
2015
This paper investigates the complexity of the urban fabric, from the urban scale to the building and neighbourhood scale, by using the concepts and tools of urban morphology according to the Muratorian School. Specifically, basic concepts such as ‘urban polarities’, ‘routes hierarchical system’ and ‘building neighbourhood’ are used. They are deployed in the walled city of Ahmedabad, India, which has a rich architectural heritage clearly recognizable in Indo-Islamic monuments and particularly in aggregative structures called pols.

Livet som toppidrettsutøvere : langrennsløperes tanker og refleksjoner
2011
Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap -Universitetet i Agder 2011 De aller fleste i dagens samfunn, sportsinteresserte eller ikke, har en eller annen mening om toppidretten. Fra de som glorifiserer, nærmest tilber toppidrettsutøverne og mener det er nasjonens helter, til de som mener toppidretter fordummer samfunnet. Argumenter som at det opptar viktig radio/tv tid, er helseskadelig, sprer usunne holdninger, verdier, osv. er noen av de viktigste kjepphestene mot toppidretten. I denne oppgaven har jeg valgt å se toppidretten i lys av rasjonaliseringsteori, og forklare dens utvikling ut fra denne. Hensikten med denne oppgaven er å se hvordan fire toppidrettsutøvere tenker og reflekterer over livet…
Usage and acceptance of Moringa stenopetala in the diet in Ethiopia
2012
Masteroppgave folkehelsevitenskap- Universitetet i Agder, 2014 Moringa stenopetala er en plante rik på antioksidanter, som muligens kan ha en forebyggende effekt på utviklingen av leverfibrose. Mål: Å finne ut hvordan Moringa stenopetala brukes i kostholdet i et område i Sør-Etiopia, hvor prevalensen av leverfibrose er funnet lav og undersøke mulighetene denne planten kan ha for å bli akseptert og inkludert i kostholdet i et annet område nord i Etiopia hvor leverfibrose er funnet høy. Design/Metode/Utvalg: I Sør-Etiopia ble et utvalg av 21 tilfeldige kvinner fra Sille landsby som lager mat til sine respektive husholdninger bedt om å beskrive hvordan de tilberedte matretter som inneholder mo…
Effekten av en tilpasset og kostnadseffektiv telefon- og (e)post-basert fysisk aktivitetsintervensjon på blodtrykk blant fysisk inaktive voksne i ald…
2012
Masteroppgave i folkehelsevitenskap- Universitetet i Agder, 2012 The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of a tailored and costeffective telephone and (e)mail based physical activity intervention on blood pressure in a group of inactive adults aged 40-55 years. Furthermore it was of some interest to investigate the effect of aerob capasity and body composition on blood pressure. This master thesis consists of one article and a written assignment. The assignment is an elaboration of the theory and methods in which the article is based upon. The written assignment starts off with an introduction presenting the theme, definitions, the aim of the study and the study apporach.…
Selvopplevd helse og fysisk aktivitet : effekten av en tilpasset og (e)post basert fysisk aktivitetsintervensjon på selvopplevd helse blant fysisk in…
2012
Masteroppgave i folkehelsevitenskap- Universitetet i Agder, 2012 Background Physical inactivity is a leading risk factor for morbidity and mortality. The trend has become a major public health problem and burden on society, both economic and social are high. In order to monitor a population's health the traditionally measured parameters are birth-, mortality- and morbidity rates in the population. In recent years, an increased focus has been on individual’s subjective experience of his or her health. Existing research shows that monitoring self-perceived health can provide good information about populations sick leave, future morbidity and mortality. Physically inactive individuals report l…
