THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON THE TOURISM SECTOR IN INDONESIA
No full textThe tourism is one of the strategic sectors and has an important role as a source of foreign exchange and encourages national economic growth. Since March 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic has begun to enter Indonesia, and the cumulative infection curve has not sloped, and is still increasing exponentially until now. This phenomenon has resulted in a contraction in the Indonesian economy or created negative economic growth, as well as creating very bad conditions for the tourism sector in Indonesia. This study aims to examine the influence of the Covid-19 pandemic on tourism and its implications for economic growth in Indonesia. The data used are quarterly time series data before and after the Covid-19 Pandemic (2018-2020). This study uses a regression equation model that is estimated by using ordinary least square (OLS). Secondary data used are data air transport and hotel accommodation, as a proxy for tourism variables. The results show that the Covid-19 Pandemic has a negative effect on Indonesian tourism, and has negative implications for Indonesia's GDP. From the simulation results, the findings of this study also calculate the amount of potential lost in the Turism and Indonesian economy during the Covid-19 Pandemic

Training needs assessment of community action for development and environment conservation trust - Arusha
No full textThis is a Training Needs Assessment (TNA) project: the case of CADECT CBO. The assessment came as a request of group leaders on conducting training on skills for community raining and facilitation. The assessment is an analysis of current training needs of the group. It is essentially based on primary data from the field i.e. group members, and it is closely related to works done by scholars involved in training and adult learning such as Frank et al (1978), Silberman (1996), Gajanayake (1986) and Prahad et al (1992) who have dwelt on how the community and organizations can be empowered in terms of skills so that to reach a common goal of development.
From CADECT's project implementation reports of 2002 and 2003, it was noted that there was a problem of failure to involve more community members in the development projects implemented in the community. It is four years now since the organization started its operations. Problems of unsanitary, seasonal hunger, low incomes, and environmental degradation have been insignificantly eliminated from the village. According to group leaders, there had been no formal training to the group on how to train the community regarding different developmental issues. It was observed that projects have been implemented by few people who are mostly members of the group. This might be due to lack of transfer of knowledge and experience from the group members to the rest of the community members, lack of awareness, lack of training and lack of confidence of the group members responsible for awareness creation among the community members.
A population of twenty one (21) group members was expected but only twenty (20) were reached. This was 96% of the expected population.
Findings showed that the group needed trainings in community training and facilitation skills, HIV/AIDS, Rain water harvesting, Food storage and preservation systems, training on Income generating activities, Environmental conservation training and Cleanliness and hygiene training.
A training package on community training and facilitation skills was prepared and four leaders of the group were trained to build their capacity in training the rest of group members.
The following was recommended:
Relevant and result based trainers/facilitators course should be conducted to group members for them to be able to train the community members on different projects and other developmental issues.
The group needs a refresher course in HIV/AIDS to be in a better position to disseminate relevant messages on the disease to the community.
The group need capacity building in issues of people's participation and bottom up approaches so as they may get away with dependency mentality.
The community should identify potential resources in the area (land, animals etc) so that they may be utilized effectively to improve incomes of the community members.
The group and community at large should be trained on practices which delays project implementation.
Heavy punishment should be given to those who misuse funds donated for projects for the community of Mkonoo. (Author abstract)Mgullo, R. J. (2005).

Susceptibility Status of Malaria Vectors to Insecticides Commonly used for Malaria Control in Tanzania.
No full textThe aim of the study was to monitor the insecticide susceptibility status of malaria vectors in 12 sentinel districts of Tanzania. WHO standard methods were used to detect knock-down and mortality in the wild female Anopheles mosquitoes collected in sentinel districts. The WHO diagnostic doses of 0.05% deltamethrin, 0.05% lambdacyhalothrin, 0.75% permethrin and 4% DDT were used. The major malaria vectors in Tanzania, Anopheles gambiae s.l., were susceptible (mortality rate of 98-100%) to permethrin, deltamethrin, lambdacyhalothrin and DDT in most of the surveyed sites. However, some sites recorded marginal susceptibility (mortality rate of 80-97%); Ilala showed resistance to DDT (mortality rate of 65% [95% CI, 54-74]), and Moshi showed resistance to lambdacyhalothrin (mortality rate of 73% [95% CI, 69-76]) and permethrin (mortality rate of 77% [95% CI, 73-80]). The sustained susceptibility of malaria vectors to pyrethroid in Tanzania is encouraging for successful malaria control with Insecticide-treated nets and IRS. However, the emergency of focal points with insecticide resistance is alarming. Continued monitoring is essential to ensure early containment of resistance, particularly in areas that recorded resistance or marginal susceptibility and those with heavy agricultural and public health use of insecticides
Evidence of artemisinin partial resistance in northwestern Tanzania: clinical and molecular markers of resistance
No full textBackground In 2021, nationwide malaria molecular surveillance revealed a high prevalence of a validated artemisinin resistance marker, the kelch13 (k13) Arg561His mutation, in the Kagera region of northwestern Tanzania. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of artemether-lumefantrine and artesunate-amodiaquine and to confirm the presence of artemisinin partial resistance (ART-R) in the Karagwe district of this region. Methods This single-arm, therapeutic efficacy study was carried out at the Bukangara dispensary in the Karagwe district of the Kagera region in northwestern Tanzania. Eligible participants were aged between 6 months and 120 months, had confirmed Plasmodium falciparum asexual parasitaemia, and met other inclusion criteria according to WHO's standard protocol. Participants were enrolled, treated sequentially with either artemether-lumefantrine or artesunate-amodiaquine, and assessed clinically and parasitologically for 28 days as per WHO protocol. Parasitaemia was measured every 8 h until day 3, on day 7, and then during weekly follow-up visits until day 28. Mutations in the k13 gene and extended haplotypes with the mutations were analysed, and comparisons were made with previous samples collected in the same region of Kagera and in Rwanda and southeast Asia. The primary endpoint was PCRcorrected cure rate. Findings Between April 29 and Sept 1, 2022, 343 patients were screened, of whom 176 were enrolled: 88 in each treatment group. The PCR-corrected cure rate was 98% (95% CI 91-100) in the artemether-lumefantrine group and 100% (96-100) in the artesunate-amodiaquine group. Persistent parasitaemia on day 3 occurred in 11 (13%) of 88 patients in the artemether-lumefantrine group and 17 (19%) of 88 patients in the artesunate-amodiaquine group. Arg561His mutations on day 0 and parasitaemia on day 3 were reported in eight (9%) of 87 patients in the artemether- lumefantrine group and ten (12%) of 86 patients in the artesunate-amodiaquine group. The median parasite clearance half-life in patients harbouring parasites with Arg561His mutation was 61 h in the artemether-lumefantrine group and 60 h in the artesunate-amodiaquine group. Parasites with the Arg561His mutation were not similar to those from southeast Asia and Rwanda but had similar haplotypes to parasites reported in the same Tanzanian region of Kagera in 2021. Interpretation This study confirms the presence of ART-R in Tanzania, although artemether-lumefantrine and artesunate-amodiaquine showed high efficacy. A context-specific response strategy and vigilance to detect the reduced efficacy of current antimalarial treatments and ART-R in other parts of the country are urgently needed.
