    Data on pre-service teachers’ experience of project activities based on the teacher education support project in Tanzania
    (Elsevier, 2022) Nkaizirwa, J. P.; Swai, C. Z.; Hugo, A. K.; Mahenge, C. A.; Komba, P. S.
    Supporting teacher education in Tanzania has long been a common practice implemented by both local institutions and development partners. Despite a huge investment that has been dedicated to improve teacher education in Tanzania, a lot remains unclear on how direct beneficiaries perceive their engagement with the project activities including the mile- stones achieved by the implemented projects in teacher col- leges (TCs). This article presents data on the experience of pre-service teachers ( N = 2,772) participating in the Teacher Education Support Project (TESP), a project collaboratively implemented by the Governments of Tanzania and Canada. In this cross-sectional survey, data was collected from all the 35 public TCs in the Tanzania Mainland from May to August 2021. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted coupled with Monte-Carlo parallel analysis to examine the factor structure of the questionnaire alongside the descriptive analysis

    Modelling the impact of farming awareness and control measures on fusarium wilt disease in cashew plants
    (SCIK Publishing Corporation, 2023) Chilinga, F.; Manyonge, A.; Hugo, A. K.
    This research is based on a mathematical model involving farming awareness with optimal control and cost-effectiveness analysis of Fusarium wilt on cashew plants. The optimal strategy for lowering spread and the cost of applying control measures was determined by introducing time-dependent control. In addition, the forward-backwards sweep method of the fourth-order Runge-Kutta scheme, which is based on the forward solution of the state equation, was used. According to the findings of the cost-effectiveness analysis, fungicides, cutting and burning severely infected plants, and public advertising are the most cost-effective strategies for managing Fusarium wilt disease with limited resources. As a result, the Fusarium wilt disease can be managed if farmers use fungicides correctly and raise farming awareness through advertisements that help identify the severely infected plant for cutting and burning.
