This research aimed at assessing the Farmer Input Support Program (FISP) and its implication on food security among small scale farmers in Chibombo: A Study of Ten Miles Area. The research target population comprised of farmers at Ten Miles Area, out of which, a random sample of 30 farmers was drawn, using simple random sampling method. The research used semi-structured questionnaires to collect data from the respondents. The research revealed that farmers were able to grow a variety of crops due to support they receive from FISP. The research also revealed the FISP had been instrumental in providing food security, although it had not been able to substantially increase the income of small scale farmers. The research also established that small scale farmers faced several challenges such as delayed delivery of agricultural inputs, lack of financial resources to pay cooperative membership, rigidity of the e-voucher system, lack of transport to inputs and limitation of inputs provided by FISP to the small scale farmers. It was generally concluded that, despite a myriad of challenges faced by small scale farmers, the FISP program had steadily contributed to the increase of income generated from farming activity, thereby adding to the food security at household levels, although at a minimal rate. It was then recommended that the Ministry of Finance to be releasing FISP funds well in advance so that the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, in collaboration with the Ministry of Community Development and Social Welfare, can ensure swift deliverance of inputs to allow farmers have a timely production, in the quest to sustain food security; and that a further research needed to be conducted to find out what challenges the government, administratively, faced in ensuring farmers received farm inputs on time.

The National Accelerated Agricultural Inputs Access Programme (NAAIAP) a subsidy programme established in 2006 was envisioned as a safety net programme that would address the problem of food insecurity and poverty among resource poor farmers. This study using cross-sectional data obtained from 200 farmers employs Linear Regression, Multinomial Logistic and Probit analysis and data from the 2009/2010 agricultural season to estimate the subsidy effects of the NAAIAP program on poor and vulnerable farmers of Tana River Sub-County. To control for errors of inclusion and exclusion the study focused on those farmers who had actually received vouchers. Observations point to predominantly aging male farmers with primary level of education and whose main source of income was farming earning them an average of $1 a day. These Farmers owning on average four(4) acres lack titles to their pieces of land for which only half was utilized for production, had not accessed financial services despite such services being within reach a factor that could be attributed to their lack of collateral and low levels of realized annual incomes from sales though roadside markets and general information asymmetries. Model results show that returns on investments to various income categories from using use of fertilizer is sensitive to residual effects of previous fertilizer application, timing or use of fertilizer during the right season, and communal financial support structures such as group saving. These findings therefore confirm the importance of this study providing deeper insight to policy makers and providing valuable information which has implications on policy, design, targeting and programme implementation.

The intent of this exploratory observational study was to ascertain the knowledge, experience, and attitudes of Malawian smallholder farmers regarding information and communication technology (ICT). This would establish a foundation for proposing ways in which ICT could best be used to provide information encouraging improved agricultural practices. Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world. Its economy is primarily dependent on agriculture, and the bulk of its food supply is produced by smallholder farmers. Non-government organizations such as NASFAM have been working with various international aid donors to improve the livelihood of smallholder farmers. The literature review revealed that there had been almost no studies of the farmers themselves regarding their perceived needs for more information, so an interview guide was designed to elicit this basic information. This study reveals that while most Malawian smallholder farmers are literate, they have only minimal knowledge of ICT and a very limited concept of how it might be useful in improving their farming and marketing practices. The research also indicated that the farmers need more sources for financing their operations. The concluding chapter lists efforts that should be undertaken by the Malawian government and non-government organizations in order to maximize the benefits of ICTs for the smallholder agricultural sector.

Tremor is the most common movement disorder characterized by repetitive and stereotyped movements. The analysis of hand-drawing movements is commonly used in the evaluation of patients with tremor. The data collection conducted under kinetic conditions and while performing a voluntary movement highlights the kinetic tremor. Most investigations on tremor attempt to understand its relation to neuromuscular dysfunctions. Therefore, there is a lack of studies that aim to investigate the complex relation between the physiological tremor and aging, especially in kinetic conditions. In this context, the main motivation of this research was to generalize the results obtained in Almeida et al., a study that quantified age-related changes in the kinetic tremor of clinically healthy individuals. For this, a number of features extracted from tremor activity, obtained from digitized drawings of Archimedes' spirals, were analyzed. The analyses followed the sequence: Linearization of the Archi...
