The farmers here practice diverse farming systems and 51% practice either mixed farming and / or intercropping. click here The results clearly show that 67% of the small holder farmers still use indigenous knowledge in farming. 62% of the technical persons believe that food production and sustainability is due to use of indigenous agricultural knowledge by the local people of the rural communities carrying out mixed farming 71.8% grow crops and also look after domestic animals simultaneously. But all of them (100%) use indigenous knowledge in managing diseases and selection of seeds for planting the following season. They use indigenous knowledge in food security by growing “hard” crops like maize, cassava and beans. These crops have been turned into commercial crops which was not the primary intention originally. They still practice indigenous knowledge in produce quantity and quality, in disease control, in agro-ecosystems and soil fertility management among others. This paper concludes that despite many changes in the agricultural practices, most smallholder farmers use indigenous knowledge in farming mainly because this knowledge has been tested over generations.Keywords: indigenous knowledge, smallholder farmers, diverse farming system, mixed farming.

8 | TITLE NAME : TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY INVESTIGATION TECHNIQUES AND ANALYSIS IN PLAN PRODUCTION Author’s Name : Yaguba Jalloh1, Dr. Anuar Ahmad2, Zulkarnaini Mat Amin3 and Kyuro Sasaki4 Article Type : ORIGINAL RESEARCH ARTICLE Country from : JAPAN Date of Publication: 10-06-2018 Journal Name : Advance Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Discoveries [ ISSN : 2456-1045 ] Article Identification : Vol. 25.0/Chapter-VIII/Page – 59-63 [ MAY-2018 ISSUE ] Article Code : ES-V25-I1-C8-MAY2018 Status : Officially published Publisher : International Journal Foundation Download: Full Article (pdf) —————————————————————————————————————————– Abstract: Topographic surveying forms an integral part in land development issues. The techniques to produce those map/plans include traditional photogrammetry, satellite photogrammetry and terrestrial surveying using total station and or Global Positioning System (GPS) techniques. However, for the purpose of this project, GPS and conventional survey using total station are used together with photogrammetric techniques and their accuracies are analysed. GPS is used to establish ground control points for aerial triangulation in photogrammetry. click here Some selected portions within the campus of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) are chosen to carry out this integration mapping techniques. Field surveying technique using total station is always adopted as a traditional method for planimetric plan production and mapping of urban and rural areas. However, both the conventional surveying techniques, GPS and photogrammetry could be used for surveying purposes but the accuracy and or techniques of each method differs from one another, hence in this project, both techniques are looked at in order to compare and draw some inferences. The main objectives are to produce topographic plan of the study area using engineering survey (i.e total station) and photogrammetric methods and subsequently, to perform a comparative analysis of the two surveying methods, in terms of quantitative analysis such as R.M.S, plannimetry(X, Y) and height (Z). The results obtained, shows that the differences between the two sets of coordinates(X, Y and Z) are not great. It ranges from a few millimetres (0.002mm) to centimetre level in plannimetry, from which, it can be deduced that spatial displacement or plannimetry (X and Y coordinates) of both conventional survey ( total station) and coordinates from stereo-model ( photogrammetry) are highly correlated and relatively smaller as compared to the displacement or differences in height or Z-values.

Consumption of aflatoxin contaminated commodities poses serious hazard to the health of human and animals. This study aimed to determine the Aflatoxin level and storage fungi quality of export commodities of sesame, chickpeas and faba beans from Gondar town. click here The post harvest grain samples were collected randomly from different cleaning warehouses and 60 samples were taken for analysis. By taking 25gm composite sample from each collected samples followed by washing and surface sterilization serial dilution were done and the dilution were poured on PDA plates for isolation and identification of storage fungi. The prevalence of fungi were high in chickpeas and faba beans (60%) followed by sesame. Aspergillus niger (30%, 35% and 40%) and Aspergillus fumigatus (25%, 40% and 45%) were the most frequently isolates followed by Aspergillus flavus (15%, 35% and 25%) from sesame chickpea and faba bean samples. Aflatoxin B1 was detected in 11 samples representing 10.33% and aflatoxin B2 was detected in 1 sample. The highest incidence of aflatoxin contamination occurred in Chickpea (25%) followed by sesame and faba bean (15% each) while no aflatoxin G1 and G2 contamination was detected in all samples. Therefore, low level of storage fungi contamination and AFs occurs frequently in sesame, chickpea and faba bean and can be improved using proper harvesting practices, storage and transportation conditions. The small quantities of AFs warrant performing further investigation, monitoring and routine analysis on regular basis.

11 | TITLE NAME : The patterns of some Inflammatory Cytokine, C-Reactive Protein and Troponin-T pre and post recovery stage of Moderate Exercise. Author’s Name : Ehiaghe F. Alfred1 * and Digban A. Kester 3 Article Type : ORIGINAL RESEARCH ARTICLE Country from : NIGERIA Date of Publication: 15-06-2018 Journal Name : Advance Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Discoveries [ ISSN : 2456-1045 ] Article Identification : Vol. 25.0/Chapter-XI/Page – 83-86 [ MAY-2018 ISSUE ] Article Code : HLS-V25-I1-C11-MAY2018 Status : Officially published Publisher : International Journal Foundation Download: Full Article (pdf) —————————————————————————————————————————– Abstract: This study was designed to provide additional information on the roles and levels of some cytokines (interleukin-1β, interleukin-10), C-reactive protein, absolute white blood cells, red blood cell indices, Creatine kinase-MB and Troponin T circulating amongst Nigerian undergraduates’ pre and three hours post recovery stage of moderate exercise. click here A total of 77 healthy young undergraduates of Igbinedion University,Okada with an average age of 25.3 ± 4 years and body mass index of 26.7± 1.5(Kg/m2) participated fully in the randomized pre and post experimental study. The subjects took part in an endurance exercise by playing football for fifteen minutes. Hematological parameters were estimated using Sysmex® Automated Hematology Analyzer whereas; IL-1β, IL-10, CRP, TT, and CK-MB were estimated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay methods. The levels of IL-1β, IL-10, CRP and Troponin-T were significantly elevated at three hour post exercise stage when compared with pre stage while the levels of TLC, AGC, ALC, MCH, MCV, MCHC and CK-MB shows no significant difference at three hour post exercise when compared with pre exercise stage. It may be concluded that moderate exercise enhances the immunological responses during the three hours post recovery stage of moderate exercise but should be performed with caution to prevent over-activation of IL-1β and CRP which are potent stimulators of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.
