Abdirahman Adam Weli 2021-06-21 Abstract: Land degradation is a global issue, with profound implications worldwide on biodiversity, eco-safety, poverty eradication, socio-economic stability and sustainable development. It is caused by multiple factors, including extreme weather conditions, hefty rain and drought and human actions that degrade the quality of soils affecting food production, livelihoods and the production and provision of other ecosystem goods and services. The deterioration in land quality, its topsoil, vegetation cover, or water resources is usually caused by natural hazards, primary causes, and underlying causes. Natural dangers are the conditions of the physical environment that lead to extraordinary degeneration dangers, for instance, steep inclines as a hazard for water depletion. Direct causes are inappropriate land use and inappropriate land management practices, for example, the cultivation of steep slopes without measures for soil conservation. Underlying causes are why these problematic archetypes of land use and management are exercised; for instance, the inclines may be planted because the landless poor require food, and preservation standards are not put in place because these farmers lack security of tenure. There is a difference, albeit with overlap, between inappropriate land use and inappropriate land management practices. Inappropriate land use refers to a situation where land is utilized in an environmentally improper manner in terms of sustainability. On the other hand, inappropriate land management regards land use in ways that could be characterized as sustainable if properly managed but where the necessary procedures are not followed. An excellent example is when there is a failure to adopt soil preservation stratagems where deemed necessary. Improper land management also refers to land use, which is ecologically sustainable under the low intensity of usage but in which the management becomes inappropriate at higher intensifies. Other examples are shifting cultivation and the grazing of semi-arid rangelands, for instance, avoiding irrigation water from the river during the first three weeks of river flow after a long period of drought, reducing the usage of chemical fertility and pesticides and avoiding herbicides. The government should promote social awareness to curtail deforestation and human activities that contribute to land degradation. We need to create social awareness, particularly amongst the farmers, on clean up plastic waste in the farms and avoid using plastics or reducing the single-use of plastic and enabling its reuse. https://sorer.somaliren.org.so/record/131 10.20374/sorer/131 doi:10.20374/sorer/130 url:https://sorer.somaliren.org.so/communities/asmac url:https://sorer.somaliren.org.so/communities/siu url:https://sorer.somaliren.org.so/communities/sorer info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ Land degradation, rural development, sustainable development, Somalia, semi-arid rangelands IMPACT OF LAND DEGRADATION ON RURAL DEVELOPMENT info:eu-repo/semantics/lecture presentation

AHMED SHEIKH ALI AHMED 2021-06-21 Abstract The study's main objective is to investigate the effect of COVID-19 on the higher education institutions in Mogadishu-Somalia. The duration of the research was fifteen days, engaging two hundred respondents. The result shows that most educational foundations, namely 56%, were closed during the initial stages of the pandemic as per the government guidelines. According to the data, 22.5% of higher education institutions were partially closed and reported significant disruptions. On the other hand, 13% of higher education establishments were open for business and took no measures to deal with COVID-19. Most respondents in the study, 126 (66.7%), utilized Zoom meetings to conduct classes and other activities, while 40 (21.2%) used Google study hall. The main constraints that internet classes faced include fewer personal meetings between the lecturers and students. Also, internet learning does not permit students to seek more clarification during the lessons. The challenge is to make the internet available to all students. https://sorer.somaliren.org.so/record/136 10.20374/sorer/136 doi:10.20374/sorer/135 url:https://sorer.somaliren.org.so/communities/asmac url:https://sorer.somaliren.org.so/communities/siu url:https://sorer.somaliren.org.so/communities/sorer info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ Impact, COVID-19, Higher Education, Private Universities, Somalia, E-learning The Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) on Higher Education Case Study Private Universities in Mogadishu, Somalia info:eu-repo/semantics/lecture presentation

Abdisamed Abdilahi Ali 2021-06-21 Abstract Poverty is a complex, interlocked and multidimensional phenomenon. The notion of poverty is used to refer to a wide-ranging set of interrelated life chances valued differently in the world's diverse cultures. The lack of awareness and inadequate understanding of the agro-pastoral way of life among the policymakers has led to the exclusion of their particular issues from policy development. Policymakers in the past were favouring crop farming. Such perceptions are generally ill-suited to the comparative advantages of the pastoral areas and their way of life. Consequently, Somalia agro-pastoralist has experienced decades of deterrent policies and socio-political exclusion agro-pastoralist development is vital for the sustainable growth of the Somalia economy. Sustainable poverty reduction in these areas requires long-term, holistic and integrated development interventions that necessitate the communities' genuine participation and empowerment. This research is conducted in Lower Shabelle, Somalia, with specific objectives of estimating the magnitude of poverty and identifying determinants of household poverty. The study employs both primary and secondary data. A total of 160 randomly selected household heads are interviewed in person through a semi-structured questionnaire. The data collected is analysed utilising descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, and percentage. On the other hand, t and chi-square tests are used to compare poor and non-poor sample groups with respect to the explanatory variable. Besides logit regression model is also employed to identify the determinants of poverty in the Lower Shabelle. Moreover, the FGT poverty index is used to examine the extent and severity of rural poverty. The binary logit model estimation has also identified that a total of six variables out of the eleven variables entered in the model are found to be statistically significant. These variables include family size, livestock ownership, farm size, dependency ratio, nonfarm income, sex, age. The study shows a severe problem of poverty in the Lower Shabelle. Therefore, to mitigate this problem and improve the well-being of rural households in the study area, some of the actions to be taken should include limiting family size and creating alternative livelihood opportunities other than just agriculture. https://sorer.somaliren.org.so/record/134 10.20374/sorer/134 doi:10.20374/sorer/133 url:https://sorer.somaliren.org.so/communities/asmac url:https://sorer.somaliren.org.so/communities/siu url:https://sorer.somaliren.org.so/communities/sorer info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ determinants of poverty, agro-pastoralism, household poverty, Somalia, Lower Shabelle Determinanats of Poverty in agro-pastoral Household info:eu-repo/semantics/lecture presentation

KHADRA ABDULKADIR NOR Jamila Yahye Ali Kowthar Mohamud Hussein Halima Mohamud Kulmiye Iqro Mohamed Fidow 2021-06-21 Abstract: This research paper summarizes the immense of the Gender Gap in Engineering and technology in Somalia. Engineering and computer science — two of the well-paid STEM fields — remain heavily male dominated. Although the gender gap in math and technology courses has narrowed in recent decades, females continue to be underrepresented in fields of Engineering and Technology. The underrepresentation of women in Engineering and technology remains active due to the influences of following parameters: (a) Fewer Role Models, (b) gender-related stereotypes and biases, (c) occupational interests or preferences and (e) field-specific ability beliefs. Our study is Quantitative research and Infinite Population target sampling procedure and selecting 155 respondent students graduated universities in Mogadishu-Somalia; with the use online Web survey instruments called KOBOTOOLBOX, Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics analysis. Gender inequality in Engineering and technology can be reduced by proper monitoring, proper informing and creating necessary work conditions and also provide equally opportunity employments in these fields of engineering and technology to minimize field-specific ability beliefs. https://sorer.somaliren.org.so/record/140 10.20374/sorer/140 doi:10.20374/sorer/139 url:https://sorer.somaliren.org.so/communities/asmac url:https://sorer.somaliren.org.so/communities/siu url:https://sorer.somaliren.org.so/communities/sorer info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ Gender Gap, STEM, stereotypes, engineering and technology Gender Gap in Engineering And Technology-in Somalia info:eu-repo/semantics/lecture presentation

Dr. Shafie Sharif Mohamed 2021-06-21 ABSTRACT As for HIV/AIDS, there is an estimate of 10,500 living with HIV/AIDS in Somalia. Children living with HIV are also estimated at 500. Among HIV positive people, only 35% attend ART centers for medications. This study aims to assess discrimination against people living with HIV/AIDS in Somalia. With the support of People Living with HIV (PLHIV), the researcher targeted 346 respondents but those accepted to participate were 187 PLHIV including 102 females and 85 males live in different regional states in Somalia. During data collection the researcher either met face to face with the respondent or communicated by telephone. The study doesn’t assess how people become HIV positive. However, the study found nearly half of the respondents became HIV positive for the past five years. Stigma and discrimination are the major challenges face PLHIV. The assessment conducted 1st Dec. 2020 – 10th Jan. 2021 Gender: According to the reports from ART centers’ prevalence rate of the people living with HIV; the female ratio is higher than the male ratio. Thus, the study surveyed 187 people living with HIV, including 102 females and 85 males. This makes females are over-represented in this survey sample. Respondents’ Age Group: Youth age is considered a risk age for HIV. However, during the data collection, all ages were given equal chance to participate and selected randomly from the PLHIV in different states in Somalia. The study found 40% of the respondents aged between 20-30 years, while one-third (33%) aged between 31-40. The age of 41-50 is 16%. Only 11% of the respondents are above 50 years. Marital status: There was no primary hypothesis that married and divorced persons have a much higher risk of HIV than never-married persons. However, the study found that married respondents were about five-in-ten (53%) while either divorced or widowed were slightly lower than married and they were 47%. The study also found that when the person is HIV positive; polygamy is a risk factor that increases the infection among the community. https://sorer.somaliren.org.so/record/144 10.20374/sorer/144 doi:10.20374/sorer/143 url:https://sorer.somaliren.org.so/communities/asmac url:https://sorer.somaliren.org.so/communities/siu url:https://sorer.somaliren.org.so/communities/sorer info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ Discrimination, HIV/Aids, Somalia Assessing Discrimination Against People Living with HIV/AIDS in Somalia info:eu-repo/semantics/lecture presentation
