Item Assessment of The Role of Community Participation In Soil and Water Conservation Practice In Cause Of Girar Frma Zigbe Kebele, in Chiha Woreda,Gurage Zone of SNNPs Region(WOLKITE UNIVERSITY, 2019-06) Hanan Seid; Endale Wolde, Endale; Cheru abebayeh, CheruSoil erosion is one of the major causes of land degradation that resulted in low agricultural productivity in Ethiopia. Farmers’ participation to conserve natural resources in general and soil and water conservation in particular has received little emphasis in Ethiopia. Efforts made in the earlier period activity of soil conservation did not bring about significant results, mainly because of lack of bottom-up approach. Soil and water conservation is essential to protect the productive land of ourcentury where drought, famine and flood causes crop damage every years and also further deterioration of the land. This study was conducted to assess the role of community participation onsoil and water conservation practice in Girar frma Zigbe kebele, Cheha woreda, Gurage, zone SNNP region. Using simple random sampling techniques 40 respondents were selected and interviewed. Both primary and secondary data was used. Those data was obtained through; focuses area field observation, interviews, questioners and different data source. Then data analyzed and interpreted by using statics and presented in the forms of percentage, table and graphs. The result shows that the main causes of soil erosion are heavy rainfall, over cultivation, over grazing, cultivation of the steep slope, and deforestation. These causes of soil erosion are also become the strong challenging factors that affect SWC practice. The study also revealed that majority (72.5%) of farmers of the study area were not aware and voluntary to participate on SWCP, this severs erosion hazards and soil fertility decline problems. Also the finding indicates the respondent practice biological SWCP, each of one like; stripe cultivation, crop rotation, afforestation, and follow cultivation. However; 17.5% of respondents do not intended physical SWCP, while 82.5% practiced physical methods as SWCP like one each of: terracing, check dam and soil dam. There was also seen that 80% of respondents affected by lack of knowledge to exercise the different SWCP. Usually to overcome the problems of soil erosion, participating and alerting SWCP is require. Therefore, themost important factors that require immediate consideration for SWC activities in the study area are: firstly, SWC practices as physically and biologically carefully designed and constructed taking into account ground realities in the study sites, secondly, governmental organizations and nongovernmental organizations should give short trainings to the farmers and they should also focus in facilitating experience sharing related to soil and water conservation practice.Item Assessment of The Role of Community Participation In Soil and Water Conservation Practice In Cause Of Girar Frma Zigbe Kebele, in Chiha Woreda,Gurage Zone of SNNPs Region(WOLKITE UNIVERSITY, 2019-06) Hanan Seid; Endale Wolde, Endale; Cheru abebayehu, CheruSoil erosion is one of the major causes of land degradation that resulted in low agricultural productivity in Ethiopia.

It is a potentially risky surgical emergency associated with high morbidity and mortality. Its pattern differs from country to country and even from place to place within a country. Therefore, this study aimed to find out the magnitude, pattern and management outcome of intestinal obstruction in WKUSTH.ObjectiveTo determine the magnitude and predictors of treatment outcomes of patients with intestinal obstruction admitted to adult surgical ward at WKUSTH in the past three years (august 1, 2019- July 31,2022).Methods hospital based retrospective study design was used. Data covering the past threeyears (August 1. 2019-July 32,2022) collected from hospital medical records of sampled patients. The data were collected with a pre-tested and structured questionnaire which was developed by the English language after review different literature. Then the data were entered and analyzed by using SPSS.Results: 144 cases were included in this study. From these, 111 (77.1%) cases have favorable surgical management outcomes of intestinal obstruction. Of 33 cases (22.9%) with unfavorable outcome, the most common postoperative complication occurred was surgical site Infection followed by post-operative pneumonia. A total of 5 (3.4%) of postoperative deaths were documented as unfavorable surgical management outcomes. In our study age above 55yr, duration of chief compliant above 24hr, presence of tachycardia, fever, hypotension, guarding rigidity at presentation and diagnosis of gangrenous bowel with procedure of resection and anastomosis had significantly associated with unfavorable treatment outcome
