    This dissertation focuses on Assessing Effectiveness of Prevention from Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) program in reducing HIV/AIDS to children in Kinondoni District, in order to understand the success and the setbacks of the program in reducing HIV transmission from mother to child. In this study the researcher used simple random sampling without replacement and purposive sampling techniques in getting the respondents, and when the research data were obtained, the researcher used google forms in analyzing the data presented below. The findings of this research reveals that, the major setbacks for the PMTCT program include stigma that pregnant women with HIV and HIV positive mothers face either at the hospital (16.7%) or at home (50%) and this has contributed to low access to PMTCT services. Furthermore, poor adherence to ARVs (64%) and other drugs given to HIV positive women and their children, as well as poor status disclosure and lack of transparency (58%), among partners and close relative. The PMTCT program is doing well in the area of preventing MTCT of HIV during pregnancy (78%) due to strong services provided by qualified doctors and nurses working in PMTCT clinics. The fact that the PMTCT program faces challenges in its implementation it is recommended that, Ministry of Health Community Development Gender Elderly and Children should improve clinic’s infrastructure to increase client’s confidentiality during services. As per the study, social workers are also advised to address the problem of stigma especially to HIV positive mothers and pregnant women attending and receiving services at PMTCT clinics

    Using holonomy decomposition, the absence of certain types of cycles in automata has been characterized. In the direction of studying the structure of automata with cycles, this paper focuses on a special class of semi-flower automata and establish the holonomy decomposition of certain circular semiflower automata. In particular, we show that the transformation monoid of a circular semi-flower automaton with at most two bpis divides a wreath produt of cyclic transformation groups with adjoined constant functions

    The problem of fault estimation victimization adjective fault identity observer approach for a DFIG based totally essentially turbine device. This adjective fault estimation algorithmic application is planned to reinforce the quickness and accuracy overall performance of fault estimation. In specific, companion degree electric powered fault situation, the DFTG winding short circuit fault, is taken under consideration due to its excessive incidence costs. Supported the fault estimation records, a fault compensator is meant supported fault records furnished via the fault identification subject matter to ensure the stability of the device, and it consists of with a traditional controller to deliver a web fault compensation of winding contact faults. Finally, the implementation of the planned technique and consequently the results received from its application to the DFTG based definitely within the important wind turbine device square diploma bestowed parenthetically the performance of the deliberate method

    Given the fact that African continent, is one among the poor continents in the world, the efforts of overcoming ecological problems is a little bit challenging due to the fact that people overuse their natural resources in their daily life in order to survive. On the other hand, lack of environmental education in many of the African communities also consequently lead to environmental destruction as people not knowingly acts on environment, may cause the harmful effects on the environment.

    The implementation of the national manpower policy by Tanzanian universities from 1962 to 1994

    No full text
    grantor: University of TorontoAt the time of independence, in December, 1961, Tanzania inherited from colonialists an acute shortage of manpower for its socio-economic development. The shortage was so severe that the new Government believed that unless the problem of manpower shortage was dealt with first, socio-economic development would be impeded drastically. Hence the manpower development policy was created. The policy dragged Tanzanian universities into the national economic plans. They had to produce given numbers of manpower to meet the requirements as estimated by the planners of the economy. The cost of training students was to be borne by the Government, i.e., Tanzanian universities were to be funded 100% by the Government. It was estimated that by 1980, Tanzania would be self-sufficient in manpower. However, up to the time this thesis was being written, the goal has never been achieved. This case study focuses on the needs of high level manpower, i.e., employees who have at least a university degree. It covers the period from 1962 to 1994. It is a descriptive and interpretive study aimed at answering such questions as: why was the manpower self-sufficiency goal not achieved? What is the future of the policy? How were the universities affected by their manpower training role? In this study, interviews were conducted with 22 administrative officials of the following institutions: the University of Dar-es-Salaam, the Sokoine University of Agriculture, Ministry of Science Technology and Higher Education, Department of Civil Service, and Planning Commission. Also documents were collected and information from them analyzed. More information was gathered through direct observation of the universities' and Ministries' activities concerning the policy. The findings of the study are: the policy is obsolete, the Government is fully manpowered in some professions, the private sector still has some manpower shortfalls, the universities cannot expand corresponding to the high demand, the Government could not finance the universities as was expected, and the very economy that provided both the demand for manpower and the resources for its training declined. The suggestion is made at the end of the thesis that the rigid manpower policy be changed to a market oriented one and that the Government merely provide information on the status of national manpower needs to applicants and universities.Ph.D
