Impacts Of Climate Change

Coping and adaptation to the impacts of climate change such as drought is increasingly necessary. Due to the expanding global impacts of climate change coping and adaptation agenda among various agencies, it is of primary importance to understand the coping and adaptation strategies in order to generate the most appropriate and effective interventions. The study established drought coping and adaptation strategies employed by households in Baringo County and this was based on Pressure and Release (PAR) model which grounds the framework for understanding vulnerability to disasters and adaptation. The 224 household heads were selected by simple random sampling out of which 204 completed the questionnaire. The study adopted description research design. Data was analyzed by both descriptive and qualitative statistics where the SPSS package version 22 was used in the analysis where the chi – square and percentages were obtained. The study established that households had various drought coping and adaptation strategies where 77 (37.7%) informed the study that during drought season they normally shift to other ways or sources of livelihoods, herd splitting were 58 (28.4%) while 44 (21.6%) do herd and crop diversification. A calculated chi – square (χ2 =79.186, p–value=0.000 df=4) of the main coping mechanisms indicated that the variation was statistically significant. The study provided baseline information for further research. However, there is need for outside intervention or strategies for effectiveness since the community does not have well laid down strategies for climate change coping and adaptation.

Vulnerability To Climate Change

The main objective of the study was to determine the causes of vulnerability to climate change on the livelihoods of Baringo County households. The study was based on the pressure and release (PAR) model. An evaluation research design was adopted for this study and the data obtained was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Simple random sampling and purposive sampling were used to select a sample of 223 households as respondents. Data was collected through questionnaires, key informant interview schedule; focus group discussion and observation checklists. Descriptive statistics, chi – square, ANOVA, cross tabulation, correlations were done using the Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS). Factors influencing vulnerability include lack of access to weather information (52.5%), lack of government support (47.1%), lack of emergency preparedness systems (87.3%); geographical location (67%) while majority (100%) blamed the absence of insurance of animals respectively. All these were statistically significant with p-value = 0.000 tested at p < 0.05 level. The results will be useful in policy formulation and mitigation of vulnerability to climate change among households.

Impacts Of Climate Change

The olive tree (Olea europaea L.) is an ancient traditional crop in the Mediterranean Basin. In the Mediterranean region, traditional olive orchards are distinguishable by their prevailing climatic conditions. Olive trees are indeed considered one of the most suitable and best-adapted species to the Mediterranean-type climate. However, new challenges are predicted to arise from climate change, threatening this traditional crop. The Mediterranean Basin is considered a climate change “hotspot,” as future projections hint at considerable warming and drying trends. Changes in olive tree suitability have already been reported over the last few decades. In this context, climate change may become particularly challenging for olive growers. The growing evidence for significant climate change in the upcoming decades urges adaptation measures to be taken. To effectively cope with the projected changes, both short and long-term adaptation strategies must be timely planned by the sector stakeholders and decision-makers to adapt for a warmer and dryer future. The current manuscript is devoted to illustrating the main impacts of climate change on olive tree cultivation in the Mediterranean Basin, by reviewing the most recent studies on this subject. Additionally, an analysis of possible adaptation strategies against the potentially negative impacts of climate change was also performed.

The purpose of the study to determine the correlation between premature rupture of  membrane with the incidence of asphyxia neonatorum. The research method used is analytic with retrospective cohort approach with independent variable of premature rupture of membrane, dependent variable asphyxia neonatorum. The study was conducted on 7 June to 12 July 2017. The population of 1519 mothers inregional public hospital of Kediri regency 2016. Sample 139 respondents, taken by simple random sampling, was analyzed by Chi Square test with a significant of 0.05. Result of research most of respondent with rupture of membrane counted 46 respondents, almost all respondents that is 82.6% gave birth baby with asphyxia. From result of Chi Square test obtained by result of p-value equal to 0.000 (<0.05), result of coefficient of contingency (C) equal to 0.639 with closeness strong relation, so H1 received H0 rejected which means there is significant relation with closeness strong between premature rupture of membrane with asphyxia neonatorum inregional public hospital of Kediri regency 2016.

Background: Tree cutting is one of the causes of climate change and a common practice in Africa, a continent under significant threat from climate change. Therefore, climate change awareness and mitigation are vital to reducing its impacts in the region. Reforestation through planting of trees is an important carbon emission reduction strategy. This study assessed climate change awareness and related tree planting practices among household heads in a Nigerian rural community.Methods: A community-based descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in April 2019 among all household heads in Nasarawan Buhari community. An interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from the 104 household heads (or their representatives). Data was analyzed using SPSS (version 21.0) and statistical significance was set at p value of < 0.05.Results: The mean age of respondents was 40.6±12.6 years, and most of them (87.5%) were males. Half (50.0%) were aware of climate change, and their main source of information was radio (63.5%). Most (98.1%) used fire wood for cooking. Only a minority (27.9%) planted at least a tree in the year preceding the study. There was a statistically significant association between climate change awareness and occupation (p=0.038) but not with tree planting (p=0.827).Conclusion: The results indicated that only half of respondents were aware of climate change. There was high use of wood as cooking fuel with low tree planting. Tree planting was not associated with climate change awareness. There is therefore a need for continuous climate change education and mitigation campaign in the community.

Tuberculosis is a disease of global concern. By 2015 six countries contributing to 60% of the global total are India, Indonesia, China, Nigeria, Pakistan and South Africa. China, India and Indonesia alone accounted for 45% of cases in the world.The World Health Organization (WHO)has recommended the Directly Observed Treatment Shortcourse (DOTS) strategy for TB control by involving Drug Supervisors (PMO). It aims to achieve patient recovery, prevent transmission, and avoid drug resistant cases. This study aims to determine the relation between the roles of treatment observers (PMO) with the success of tuberculosis treatment at community health center of Johar Baru Central Jakarta in 2016.This research was conducted by Cross-Sectional non-experimental quantitative method. Population and sample are the patient of adult pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis at community health center of Johar Baru Central Jakarta in 2016. Samples are selected by using Simple Random Sampling. The data were collected by interview using questionnaire. Data analysis using SPSS with Chi-Square test.There were 45 respondents (80,4%) succeed in TB treatment and respondent with PMO roles category were 40 (71,4%). Result of statistical test using Chi-Square test obtained P value = 1,000 (> 0,05).There is no relation between the roles of treatment observers (PMO) with the success of tuberculosis treatment at community health center of Johar Baru Central Jakarta in 2016.
