Abstract: Ethiopia is one of the developing country in which high rate of population growth is observed due to the strong impact of socio-economic and demographic factors. This study is a community based and cross sectional study focused on assessing determinant factors of population fertility in Hosanna town, particularly on women who are found in the age bracket 15-49. Data were collected using pre tested structured & unstructured questionnaire, focused group discussion from 200 systematically selected samples and through assessing relevant documents of different type. A total of 209 women within the group 15-49 were drawn as a sample and only 200 women were taken in this study since the others did not return the questionnaire given to them during interview time. After data organization, thoroughly analysis was made using statistical techniques such as correlation and found that, sex preference has positive relationship. On the other hand age at first marriage, educational level, birth space and income level of women and birth space between two consecutive children were negatively associated. In the meantime occupational type and religion of a woman is found to be a dependable factor. And this still shows that there is very high fertility level in the study area compare to the national and the regional MEBC due to the profound impact of the above demographic and socio-economic impacts on women. Therefore on this study, the concerned government institutions, NGOs and private organization should encourage women who are found in the age group 15-49 to involve in education up to higher level, to have their own permanent means of income generation, not to get into marriage at their early age, to feed breast for optimum time and to have an average time gap between two consecutive children. Religious leader should also make women feel free to use contraceptive methods to have well-sized family members.

Abstract: The cardiovascular system (CVS) is associated with many complex changes during aging both in structure and function, which leads to alterations in of the cardiovascular physiology that differ from pathological effects such as disease of the coronary arteries. The changes related to age seen in everyone but not necessarily at the same rate. The related change of the CVS with aging includes slight hypertrophic heart that become sympathetic stimuli hypo-responsive, an increased arteries hardness and stiffness and a diminished in elasticity as the aorta and main arteries become stiffer and elongated with increased velocity of pulse wave, dysfunction of endothelial and early atherosclerosis resembling biochemical patterns.. Many studies have declared that the process of aging has major alterations for CVS and increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevalence with advancement of ages. The aging roles on the CVS are a subject of intense researches and interest. The presented review highlights the major CVS associated changes with aging in healthy individuals and associated disease process and perspectives of future directions.

Abstract: This paper evaluated the application of Batch phase system on the migration and deposition process of pathogen in coastal area of Abonnema, this is to monitored the behaviour of the pathogenic origin in predominant saline environment, the study location deposited shallow short fresh water aquifers in the region, the study areas developed homogeneous deposited Aquiferous zone at shallow and deep formation, whereby deep Aquiferous is capital intensive to exploit, base on these conditions, majority of human settlers resolved in developing ground water at shallow Aquiferous zone, it has been confirmed that the deposition of pathogen are from human activities that has polluted shallow Aquiferous zone to the maximum level due to its high rate of porous medium. The rate of concentration between predictive and experimental values range from 9.57E-05-1.46E-03, 9.37E-05 -1.46E-03 between the depth of 0.2-3m deep, while for time of transport ranged from 0.016 - 0.24m 0.016-0.21, at the period of 2 to 24 days, monitoring the rate of concentration were carried out through mathematical modeling by developing a system that express all the functional influential parameters, the developed model were simulated to express the behaviour of the pathogen in saline environment, the theoretical model values generated from the simulation were compared with measured values from column experiment, both parameters generated favorable fits validating the model, experts will find the developed model a useful tool in monitoring the migration of pathogen in homogeneous sand gravel formation in coastal area of Abonnema.

Abstract: The concentrations of heavy metals (Ag, Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb) were analyzed in gill, kidney, liver, muscle and skin tissues of Silurus glanis L., 1758 from Çamlıgöze Dam Lake located at Central Anatolian region of Turkey. The heavy metal analysis of samples was carried out by using a flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Ag, Cd and Cu were found in all of the examined tissues. Fe and Pb were not determined in all tissues studied. The mean concentrations of heavy metals in all of the examined tissues of S. glanis were as follows; Ag: 0.038±0.014–0.157±0.163, Cd: 0.016±0.001–0.020±0.001 and Cu: 0.045±0.001–0.346±0.434 µg/g. The obtained results were compared in terms of national limit values, international consumed and standard values. The concentrations of the tested heavy metals were within the acceptable standards.
