Abstract: Enset is a perennial plant and a multi-purpose crop used in Ethiopia. Phenotypic traits were important to predict the production and productivity of enset. This research was conducted in Gurage Zone at Yefereziye enset conservation site with the objective of effect of quantitative and qualitative phenotypic traits on Enset (Ensete ventricosum (Welw.) Cheesman) yield and genotypes from 2020 to 2021. The evaluation was conducted using a single plot experiment method, with a total of 15 plants within a column. Data were collected randomly within five tagged Enset genotypes within a row. The result reveal that the quantitative data were highly significant (P≤0.001) among the enset genotypes. The higher pseudostem circumference, pseudostem height, and Plant height were recorded from Ashikit (121.4cm, 154.6cm and 494.2cm), Shebeshertiye (120.8cm, 139.4cm and 436.8cm), Zereta (118.4cm, 135.8cm and 438cm), Kanchiwe (130.4cm, 22.6cm and 418cm) and Zigbot (126cm, 120.8cm and 433.4cm), Yeshraqinqe (101 cm, 139.8 cm and 463.2cm); Ageremariam (103.8cm, 145.8cm and 480.4 cm) and Tikurbadedet (131cm, 110.6cm and 419cm) respectively. In qualitative trait assessment the dominant color trait was, for pseudostem brown 3 (0.4%), lower leaf part was light green (95.7%), upper part of midrib was green (95.7%), lower midrib was reddish (56.52%) and lower part of petiole was black (34.8%) colors within the enset genotyps. Therefore, from the current research the following enset land races were, Ashikit, Shebeshertiye, Zereta, Kanchiwe, Zigbot, Yeshraqinqe, Ageremariam and Tikurbadedet enset genotypes were well performance and recommended to the local farmer to enhance their livelihoods.

Abstract: The problem of historical dynamics and polarization of the world is discussed in the context of the social evolution of mankind and civilizational analysis of history. The latter is theoretically diverse. It contains two alternative research strategies: universalistic and particularistic. Comparing them, the author proposes to consider the process of "civilizing" countries and peoples in the context of the evolution of communities of the species Homo sapiens and the implementation of a more general macrohistorical trend: the globalization of mankind. It is shown that in this context, the "civilization" of mankind appears as an other being ("its other") of its globalization, realized through a variety of regional socio-cultural forms of embodiment of this general historical trend. The largest and most stable of these forms of human coexistence are "civilizations" and the "development models" they create. In geopolitical and geoeconomic aspects, the competition of civilizations for influence, territories and resources concentrated on them is similar to the movement of the "geological plates" of the earth's crust, the movement of which determines the dynamics of world history, forming successive "poles of development". At present, humanity has returned from a short-lived state of dominance of the Euro-Atlantic (Anglo-Saxon) civilization led by the United States to the state of a multipolar World. This was expressed in the resuscitation of the civilizational and national self-awareness of the largest regional powers of the planet, who acutely felt the objective value-semantic confrontation with the West as special "civilization countries". This and much more stimulated Russia to turn away from the unfriendly West to the South and East.

Abstract: Background: The management of term pregnancy complicated by active maternal skin infection at the surgical site, bacterial colonization, and fetal anomalies presents a significant therapeutic challenge. Incising through infected tissue for a cesarean section increases the risk of surgical site infection and wound dehiscence. This report analyzes the management of a high-risk pregnancy complicated by secondarily infected Atopic Eruption of Pregnancy (AEP), Group B Streptococcus (GBS) colonization, and oligohydramnios. Case Presentation: A 30-year-old primigravida at 39 weeks and 4 days of gestation presented to a tertiary care center with severe, exudative abdominal dermatitis suggestive of secondary Staphylococcus aureus superinfection and recto-vaginal GBS colonization. Obstetric assessment revealed oligohydramnios (Maximum Vertical Pocket 1.8 cm), an estimated fetal weight of 3950g, and a prenatal diagnosis of cleft lip and palate. To avoid surgical incision through the infected abdominal wall, labor was induced using a Foley catheter. The patient achieved a successful vaginal delivery of a male infant weighing 3900g, with Apgar scores of 6 and 8 at 1 and 5 minutes, respectively. Postpartum management included intravenous Cefotaxime and topical corticosteroids. Conclusion: Vaginal delivery via mechanical induction is a viable strategy to mitigate surgical risks in patients with extensive abdominal skin infection and borderline macrosomia. A multidisciplinary approach utilizing broad-spectrum antibiotics and dermatological therapy resulted in favorable maternal and neonatal outcomes.
