The document summarizes a cross-learning visit organized by the Africa RISING project of Ethiopia between April 20-24, 2015. Eleven researchers from various Africa RISING projects participated in visits to the Basona Worena and Lemo model watershed sites to share experiences. At the sites, participants observed various soil and water conservation structures, irrigation techniques, and other sustainable landscape management practices used by farmers. They also discussed the reasons for working in model watersheds, including supporting capacity building, demonstrating technologies, addressing research issues, and encouraging community investment in conservation.

Feeds and forages technology development platformILRI
This document summarizes the Feeds and Forages Technology Development Platform. The platform aims to make animal source food production more efficient economically and environmentally by improving feed resources and technologies. Key partners include CIAT, ICARDA, ILRI, WorldFish, CIMMYT, ICRISAT, IRRI and private sector organizations. The main research issues are assessing existing feed resources, making better use of resources, producing more and better feeds, facilitating surplus-deficit transfers, and monitoring resource use impacts. Technologies being developed include improved food-feed crops, forages, processing options, and decision tools to optimize feed costs and income from animal source foods.

The document summarizes research by the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) on food safety in informal markets in developing countries. Some key findings include:
- Informal markets are highly preferred sources of meat, milk and eggs for poor consumers due to lower prices, freshness, and credit options.
- Most consumers in informal markets are concerned about food safety, and willingness to pay studies show they would pay a premium for safer products.
- While hazards are common in informal markets, the actual risks to human health are not always high and depend on factors like traditional preparation methods.
- Perceptions of risk do not always match the evidence - food in formal markets is often perceived as safer but may not

Presented by Michael Victor at the “Webinar on ILRI Publications Guidelines for Boosting Uganda’s Investments in Livestock Development Project”, 14 April 2020
This document summarizes the open access repository called CGSpace that is run by the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI). It discusses how CGSpace started as ILRI's institutional repository called Mahider in 2009 using Dspace software. Over time, other CGIAR research centers and programs joined the platform to share costs and access each other's research outputs. By 2016, CGSpace contained over 50,000 open access materials from 8 research centers and allowed searching across research partners. The document outlines how CGSpace harvests, stores, and disseminates various research outputs like publications, reports, presentations, videos and more to improve access and visibility of agricultural research.
Open access - Opening up of Scholarly Outputs for Public GoodSridhar Gutam
This document discusses open access to scholarly literature in India. It notes that only a small percentage of research from institutions like IARI is openly accessible. It outlines strategies to achieve open access like self-archiving and open access journals. Barriers include a lack of policies and infrastructure supporting open data. The benefits of open access include improved visibility, usage and impact of research. National funding for science in India is also summarized.

Current methods of sharing are explored, such as repositories and sites used. Case studies from the University of Northampton and University of Leeds describe their OER programs. Barriers to sharing include finding high quality resources, and the role of communities of practice in supporting librarians globally in sharing materials is examined.
The Impact of Work Stress and Digital Literacy on Employee Performance at PT ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT :This research aims to analyze the correlation between employee work stress and digital literacy
with employee performance at PT Telkom Akses Area Cirebon, both concurrently and partially. Employing a
quantitative approach, the study's objectives are descriptive and causal, adopting a positivist paradigm with a
deductive approach to theory development and a survey research strategy. Findings reveal that work stress
negatively and significantly impacts employee performance, while digital literacy positively and significantly
affects it. Simultaneously, work stress and digital literacy have a positive and significant influence on employee
performance. It is anticipated that company management will devise workload management strategies to
alleviate work stress and assess the implementation of more efficient digital technology to enhance employee
performance.
KEYWORDS -digital literacy, employee performance,job stress, multiple regression analysis, workload

Factors affecting undergraduate students’ motivation at a university in Tra VinhAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Motivation plays an important role in foreign language learning process. This study aimed to
investigate student’s motivation patterns towards English language learning at a University in Tra Vinh, and factors
affecting their motivation change toward English language learning of non-English-major students in the semester.
The researcher used semi-structured interview at the first phase of choosing the participants and writing reflection
through the instrument called “My English Learning Motivation History” adapted from Sawyer (2007) to collect
qualitative data within 15 weeks. The participants consisted of nine first year non-English-major students who learning
General English at pre-intermediate level. They were chosen and divided into three groups of three members each
(high motivation group; average motivation group; and low motivation group). The results of the present study
identified six visual motivation patterns of three groups of students with different motivation fluctuation, through the
use of cluster analysis. The study also indicated a diversity of factors affecting students’ motivation involving internal
factors as influencing factors (cognitive, psychology, and emotion) and external factors as social factors (instructor,
peers, family, and learning environment) during English language learning in a period of 15 weeks. The findings of
the study helped teacher understand relationship of motivation change and its influential factors. Furthermore, the
findings also inspired next research about motivation development in learning English process.
KEY WORDS: language learning motivation, motivation change, motivation patterns, influential factors, students’
motivation.
