Abstract: Since its origin, homoeopathy has shown unprecedented success in treating sickness. Homoeopathic evidence and case details are essential for the future development of Alopecia Areata (AA) and the significance of homoeopathy, which I will discuss in detail in this article. A 17-year-old girl complained of localized hair loss on the scalp for the last eight months. Diagnosed with alopecia areata, she was prone to irritability, desire for sweets, and an averse to salt. reduced hunger and thirst. Constipation once every three days. After a thorough case analysis and repertorization, the patient was prescribed Rx Natrum muriaticum 200 1D in 10 ml, 5 ml stat and 5 ml HS per day in accordance with the homoeopathic principle. At the patient's last follow-up, there was a marked increase in hair growth, and within two months of homoeopathic treatment, the patient felt better symptomatically and emotionally. Conclusion: so long as they have enough training and experience, homoeopathic doctors are capable of treating a broad range of conditions. Alopecia areata (AA) was treated with a successful homoeopathic constitution medication, and the patient's physical and mental health improved as a consequence. One may get speedy improvement in health via homoeopathy when other systems have a limited function in addressing aesthetic disorders without side effects.

Abstract: In this paper log transformation of modified ratio estimator of population mean when non-response error exists on both study variable and auxiliary variable was proposed. Using sub-sampling method of treating unit non-response, the properties of the proposed estimator as well as optimality conditions up to first order approximation were obtained. Theoretical and empirical comparison of the proposed estimator were carried out, comparing it with some existing estimators. The result of the theoretical comparison shows that the proposed estimator under optimum condition is more efficient than classical ratio estimator and Hansen and Hurwitz unbiased estimator. Furthermore, the empirical analysis on two different datasets revealed that the mean squared error of the proposed estimator increases as the value of λ increases. Also the percentage relative efficiency increases with the increase in the value of λ. The theoretical results are in consonant with the empirical results hence the proposed estimator is considered more efficient than classical ratio and Hansen and Hurwitz unbiased estimators in terms having lower mean squared error and more gain in efficiency under optimality condition in estimating population mean in the presence of non-response error and can be used in real life survey.

Abstract: Capture fisheries are the most important contributors to global food and nutritional security, particularly in developing countries. This paper aimed to review the challenges and prospects of capturing fisheries and the ways forwards in developing countries. Throughout the developing world, the fisheries sector provides the basis for millions of people's livelihoods and nutrients, as well as a significant source of foreign exchange for many developing economies. Despite its massive contributions to progress, aquaculture is frequently no longer seen as a priority by policymakers or donor groups, and activities such as aquaculture are frequently viewed as having a low priority for the allocation of scarce resources such as water. This loss of interest in the arena is complicated further by the fact that seize fisheries are currently being fished at capacity, and that additional manufacturing will come from the enlargement of aquaculture. As a result, developing countries have an important role to play, both in managing capture fisheries to avoid inventory depletion and in regulating aquaculture development to ensure that it is environmentally sustainable and pro-poor. Under such conditions, fisheries can realize their full potential as a critical and growing source of economic development in rural areas.

Abstract: Land use change is one of the primary constraints affecting carbon stock in Ethiopia. The shift from natural forest and grazing lands to crop land is the main direction of change. Knowing this fact, a study was conducted in 2021/2022 to assess the effect of land use change on soil carbon stock in the study area. In order to achieve this objective three different land use types (crop, grazing and forest lands) were selected and twenty four (24) core and composite soil samples were collected from 0-20, 20-40, 40-60 and 60-80 cm to determine the soil carbon stock of each layer of land uses. The results of the study showed that land use change analysis applied for two periods (1981 - 2001 and 2001 – 2021) decreased soil OC and TN from 3.96 to 1.69% and from 0.22 to 0.17% in forest to crop land soils, respectively. The effect of land use change can be seen not only in terms of soil OC, but also in terms of climate change in which carbon stock and emission vary from one land use to the other land uses. SOC storage potential of crop land (5.88Mg/ha) was almost more than 3 times lower than that of forest land (20.8Mg/ha). From these findings, one can conclude that the forest land is the major reservoir of SOC and sinks of CO2e and plays a significant role in mitigating climate change. Based on the findings and conclusions of this study, it can be recommended that, huge potential of soil OC which affect global climate change, SOC storage improvement strategies should be incorporated in polices of green economy and SOC sequestration incentives should be encouraged. Furthermore, studies should be considered to provide more conclusive recommendation for having sustainable natural ecosystems and mitigated climate change.

Abstract: This study appraised the consumption of unsafe processed food in Tanzania. It was conducted at Ilala Municipality in Dar es Salaam. Descriptive analysis was used in analyzing data using SPSS. Data were collected by using questionnaires interview, observation and documentations. Random sampling was used. More specifically, this study examined factors influencing unsafe processed foods, eating behavior and assessed the effectiveness of institutional framework in controlling the consumption of unsafe processed foods. The findings indicate that several factors influenced processed food eating behavior such as lack of time to cook at home, influence of friends and environmental factors. Findings show that Tanzania Food and Nutrition Centre (TFNC), Tanzania Food and Drugs Authority (TFDA) and Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS) are the regulatory authorities controlling the quality of food. Despite the powers they have to raid, seize, forfeit, condemn and destroy unfit products and devices, still there is deprived prevention and control. Marketing and consumption of un-safe foods is still widespread. Given the above, it can be concluded that the institutional framework (TBS, TFDA, and TFNC) are not effective enough when it comes to the control marketing and consumption of unsafe processed food. On the basis of the findings and conclusions of the study, the following recommendations can be made: Because knowledge regarding nutrition is poor among the food consumers, they should be conscientized on the dangers or health risk of buying and eating fake foods and products. The Government should consider seriously increasing the budget allocation to regulatory authorities and minimizing their dependence on the revenue generated through inspections, licensing and permits. Social workers should also be employed by these regulatory authorities to reach different groups of people through trainings and seminars channeling their activities and resources towards the resolution of a shared goal.
