Cyclic Causation of Conflict and Mental Illness in Selected Tigrigna and Amharic Novels
(Mekelle University, 2025-04-28) Haftu Kahsay Brhanu
This study aims to investigate the cyclic causation of conflict and mental illness in
purposively selected Tigrigna and Amharic novels. Specifically, the study was made to
identify mental illnesses portrayed in the novels, to show how conflict causes mental illness
and vice versa, and to examine the dialectic causal development of internal and external
conflicts. It is a qualitative study which employed textual analysis as a method and causal
pluralism as a theoretical framework. The causation in conflict is framed by BHN model
while the causation in mental illness is framed by BPSS model. The finding shows that unmet
basic human needs lead characters to conflict and thereby to various mental illnesses which in
turn cause conflicts. It is also found out that intrapersonal, interpersonal and intergroup
conflicts result in compromised basic human needs which trigger various mental illnesses. In
all the texts under study, family background and relationship is the center of many of the
problems that cause the conflicts which lead to mental illnesses like stress, anxiety, conduct
disorder, PTSD, narcissistic personality disorder and schizophrenia. Moreover, migration,
envy, conspiracy, sexual violence and substance abuse are also found to the major triggers of
conflict and mental illness in the texts under study. It is concluded that the ways one
perceives himself/herself, understands the family problems, handles conflicts significantly
determine the cyclic causation of conflict and mental illness. The study also implies that
fictional representation of victim’s life is found to be conducive to portray the cyclic causal
relation between conflict and mental illness due to the rich potential of literary works to
express the whole person in a plotted manner. The fact that most of the problems that cause
conflict and mental illnesses emerge from within the family indicates that a lot is needed to
be done to improve the quality of life at family level. All the important aspects of health
(biological, psychological, social and spiritual) are strongly related to family relationship.
Thus, it is only when a family is changed that changes at communal, societal and national
levels could be realized. Finally, I would like to indicate to those who conduct their studies
on serious human concerns like conflict and mental illness to utilize the rich potential of
literary works like novels so as to address multifaceted problems in a holistic manner.
Further studies also need to be done on other genres of literature
Effect of mulching types and varieties on growth, yield and quality of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) in Raya Azebo, southern zone of Tigray
(Mekelle University, 2025-02-01) Tsirha Gidey
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is the most significant vegetable crops in the Solanaceae
family and one of the most widely consumed fruit vegetables in the world valued for
nutritional benefits and economic impacts. However, the cultivation of tomatoes faces various
agronomic challenges including low soil fertility, water stress, soil erosion and weed
competition, which can adversely affect plant growth and over all yield. The experiment was
conducted under irrigation condition from March–July 2024 at Mekelle University,
agricultural research and innovation centre Mekoni site, Southern Tigray to evaluate the best
mulching types and to screen tomato varieties based on their growth, yield performance and
resistance to diseases. It was done in a randomized complete block design with three tomato
varieties (Roma VF, Gelilama and Melka shola), three mulching types (white plastic, black
plastic, grass) and with as no mulch. Data on plant height, number of primary branches per
plant, weed density, soil moisture, disease incidence and severity, fruit diameter, fruit number
per plant, total yield per plant, average fruit weight, total yield, marketable yield,
unmarketable yield, total soluble solid (TSS) and fruit texture were collected and analysed
using GENSTAT, 15th edition. The Duncan’s multiple range test was used to compare
between treatment means using a significance level of α = 0.05. The findings showed that
strong interactions between mulching types and tomato varieties, while both black and white
plastic mulches improved yield and quality parameters. Black plastic mulch appeared the
most effective in weed suppression, moisture retention,. In regards to the varieties, Gelilama
appeared the most resilient and productive under various mulch conditions, while it may be
more prone to disease, its potential for higher economic return due to greater yield fruit
quality could make it a viable option for grower, whereas Melka Shola demonstrates high
fruit numbers. Based on the current study, white plastic mulch with Gelilama variety is an
effective strategy for enhancing tomato yield. However further research on the interaction of
drip irrigation with mulching and both breeding and management practices can be conducted
to explore its efficiency on tomato production and disease management practices.
THE EFFECT OF IRRIGATION INTERVALS ON GROWTH, YIELD AND YIELD TRAITS OF ONION (Allium cepa L.) VARIETIES IN RAMA ADIARBAETE, TIGRAY, ETHIOPIA
(Mekelle University, 2025-02-01) Kidane Gebresamial Gebrekidan
Onion (Allium cepa L.) is one of the most important vegetable crops in Ethiopia which is used almost
daily as a spice and vegetable in the local dish. It is a shallow-rooted crop that requires frequent
irrigation to achieve a high yield. Inconsistent or suboptimal irrigation regimes can lead to yield
variability among onion varieties. This study was aimed, to investigate the effect of irrigation intervals
on the growth and yield traits of onion (Allium cepa L.) varieties and determine optimal irrigation
intervals for maximizing crop and water productivity. The experiment was conducted at Rama
Adiarbaete, central zone of Tigray, Ethiopia. Split plot design was used to conduct the experiment; by
considering four irrigation intervals (5, 8, 11 and 14 days) assigned in the main plot and three onion
varieties (Bombay red, Adama red and Red creole) assigned in the sub-plots with three replications.
The climatic data of Rama Adiarbaete wereda was taken from Adwa meteorological station. Water
requirements of onion were computed using the cropwat model 8.0. The results showed that the onion
Bombay red variety irrigated at 5 day interval produces higher marketable bulb yields (12.23 t ha-1),
harvest indexes (80%) and water productivity (3.52kg m-3) than Adama red and Red creole. In addition
to this, at 8 day irrigation intervals, Bombay red scored the highest harvest index (75.30%), marketable
bulb yield (11.05 t ha-1) and water productivity (3.097kg m-3) which was followed by Adama red variety
(71.88%, 10.43t ha-1, 2.96kg m-3) respectively. According to the economic analysis, also Bombay red
irrigated at 5 days interval resulted in 443% MRR over Bombay red irrigated at 8 days interval and
residually ranked first. This could be due to the higher marketable yield of Bombay red when irrigated
at 5 days intervals. Therefore, farmers in the study area and similar location should have to use 5 days
irrigation interval and use the Bombay red variety when there is accessible labor. However, when there
is limited availability of labor in the study area, they have to irrigate the Bombay red variety every 8
days interval for higher productivity and profitability. In case of the scarcity of Bombay red seeds,
farmers could use Adama red onion seeds as an option in the study area. The findings should be refined
further by taking up multi season data and by measuring soil water characteristics in multi locations.
