Abortion beyond a medical issue; women's perception on the current Ethiopian abortion law among reproductive-aged women by 2023, a community-based cross-sectional study.

Background: A nationwide study on the contribution of abortion to maternal mortality in Ethiopia was 6%-9%. To bring Ethiopia's legal system into compliance with the country's new constitution, a new criminal code was created in 2005. In the new penal code, after 2005, abortion was permitted under broad circumstances; in the case of rape, incest, or fetal impairment; if pregnancy continuation or birth would endanger the health or life of the woman or fetus; if the woman has physical or mental disabilities; and if the woman is a minor who is physically or mentally unprepared for childbirth.

Fuzzy logic based optimal placement of voltage regulators and capacitors for distribution systems efficiency improvement.

Electric power systems in most developing countries, especially Ethiopia, are fed by radial distribution systems (RDSs), which serve as the final link between the high voltage transmission system and the consumers. In this paper, a fuzzy logic optimization method was presented for the efficient location of voltage regulators (VR) and capacitors in distribution systems (DSs). An investigation of Gondar power distribution system was performed specifically at the Gondar feeder in Gondar, Ethiopia which has 60 nodes with a total capacity of 3.

Reduced Height (Rht) Alleles Affect Wheat Grain Quality.

The effects of dwarfing alleles (reduced height, Rht) in near isogenic lines on wheat grain quality are characterised in field experiments and related to effects on crop height, grain yield and GA-sensitivity. Alleles included those that conferred GA-insensitivity (Rht-B1b, Rht-B1c, Rht-D1b, Rht-D1c) as well as those that retained GA-sensitivity (rht(tall), Rht8, Rht8 + Ppd-D1a, Rht12). Full characterisation was facilitated by including factors with which the effects of Rht alleles are known to interact for grain yield (i.
