Determining the Impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in South Sudan | Chapter 4 | Current Topics on Business, Economics and Finance Vol. 2

 The study proposed at determining the impacts of FDI on South Sudan. The dossier collection approach complicated a review of secondary dossier based on ethnographic design. Two believes were involved; the point-based approach and the uniform FDI fitness believes in order conduct to study. The results of the study are very main and form a braod base of information. Apart from deciding that South Sudan has not been smart to fully influence FDI, the study also persistent that FDI has failed to increase South Sudan’s economy what poverty levels in the country wait high. Additionally, it was famous that despite limited improvements in FDI levels, South Sudan's nationals continue to person who waits on another poverty and the country with its own government is still wracked by a sustained civil war that has demanded thousands of lives. The main tactics implication of the study is that South Sudan needs to take healthy steps to create a governmental, social, and financial environment that will captivate more foreign direct assets in to the country.

A Review of the Past and the Present Cases of Human African Trypanosomiasis in South Sudan | Chapter 5 | Research Aspects in Biological Science Vol. 8

 Sleeping sickness, commonly known as human African trypanosomiasis, is a fatal parasite disease spread by tsetse flies. Early in the 20th century, there were initial reports of it in Southern Sudan; it was probably brought there during the colonial era. In 2011, South Sudan broke apart from Sudan. South Sudan is currently reconstructing its healthcare sector after the war damaged the nation's infrastructure. A plan for the eradication of human African trypanosomiasis in all endemic nations was established by the World Health Organization. Although there are significant efforts being made by the National Ministry of Health of South Sudan and its international partners to control and eradicate human African trypanosomiasis, cases are still being recorded. The purpose of this research is to evaluate cases of human African trypanosomiasis, shed light on both historical and contemporary cases, and identify potential factors that may have contributed to the disease's persistence in a few well-known geographic foci in the nation. A variety of relevant sources, including disease reports from the World Health Organization (WHO) from 1956 to 2018, were used to compile data on Human African Trypanosomiasis cases. The First Civil War (1955–1972), the post–Addis Ababa Accord (1973–1982), the Second Civil War (1983–2004), and the post–Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) as of 2005–2018 are the four historical eras into which HAT events were thus divided. The Second Civil War had the most HAT instances, 16,539 (52.3%), followed by 7,708 (24.37%) cases after the Addis Ababa Accord, 5,164 (16.33%) cases after the CPA, and 2,215 (7.0%) cases during the First Civil War, for a total of 31,626 cases. The use of efficient control techniques during the 1950s and 1960s may have contributed to the low prevalence of HAT. Political upheaval, instability, and civil unrest may have contributed to the Second Civil War's high prevalence of HAT. There are currently no HAT cases recorded from the Akobo and Pachalla foci in South Sudan's Jonglei State. With the exception of Raga in Western Bahr El-Ghazal State, all of the HAT's former foci in South Sudan are still operational.

Study on Prevalence and Economic Loss due to Hydatidosis in Slaughtered Animals in Juba South Sudan | Chapter 13 | New Innovations in Economics, Business and Management Vol. 2

 At the Gumbo slaughterhouse in Juba County, a three-month cross-sectional research was done. The study's goals were to find out how common hydatidosis is and how much money it costs to lose organs as a result of it. A total of 4,989 animals were subjected to routine pre-slaughter checks and meat inspections. With a prevalence of 3.99 percent, hydatidosis was discovered in 199 distinct visceral organs of slain animals. Cattle, sheep, and goats had prevalence rates of 3.94 percent, 6.99 percent, and 2.74 percent, respectively. Hydatid cysts were found in 53.27 percent of the liver, 44.22 percent of the lungs, 1.51 percent of the spleen, 1.0 percent of the heart, and 0.0 percent of the kidneys, respectively. As a result, organ condemnation was highest in the liver and lungs. The predominance of Nilotic indigenous cattle was 5.74 percent, whereas the exotic Ankole cattle breed was 2.0 percent. It's possible that this is owing to the free-range grazing and close connection with household dogs. In November (4.3%), December (4.4%), and January (4.4%), there were no statistically significant differences (P>0.05) in the prevalence of hydatidosis (3.2 percent ). Male cattle exhibited a higher sex-based frequency than female cattle (4.11 percent) (3.65 percent ). When compared to female sheep (4.88 percent) and goats (3.97 percent), male sheep and goats revealed no significant differences in rates of 5.31 and 3.97 percent (P>0.05), respectively (2.96 percent ). Adult cattle exhibited a prevalence rate of 3.93 percent, which was higher than that of young cattle (2.39 percent ). Adult sheep and goats had a prevalence of 5.26 percent and 3.83 percent, respectively, compared to 4.72 and 2.64 percent for young sheep and goats. 199 organs of cattle, sheep, and goats were condemned at retail market price throughout the study period, resulting in an economic loss of 6,032 South Sudanese pounds (SSP), or US$ 2,035.77 (one American dollar = 2.963 SSP). In South Sudan, hydatidosis is a widespread sheep illness that causes economic losses. The socioeconomic and cultural prerequisites for community-based control techniques must be developed. Dogs should not be allowed access to fresh offal, and condemned organs should be disposed of in a sanitary manner, according to key stakeholders. To evaluate the genotypic characteristics of Echinococcus granulosus local strains in livestock, as well as to assess the indirect economic damage and study the public health consequences of hydatidosis in South Sudan, more research is needed.

Epidemiology of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) in South Sudan: A Review | Chapter 16 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 12

To provide key epidemiological data on the illness status in South Sudan, a study of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) was conducted. FMD virus serotypes A, O, C, SAT1 and SAT2 were discovered in cattle, goats, and sheep. In seven states across the country, serotypes O and SAT 2 appeared to be the most common. The highest and lowest rates of FMD prevalence were found in Unity and Lakes States, with 56 percent and 25 percent, respectively. Young stock had a 50% mortality rate, compared to 20% for adult cattle, sheep, and goats. In the face of the FMD outbreak, a considerable drop in milk supply of more than 10% and weight losses were discovered. Reduced milk production is the most obvious effect of FMD on pastoralists and agro-pastoralists' livelihoods. Malnourished children and the elderly have benefited from this. The development of FMD control measures is critical for the long-term development of cattle in South Sudan.

South Sudan: The Conundrum of a Long-running Social Conflict | Chapter 2 | Insights into Economics and Management Vol. 12

 The crisis in South Sudan began in December 2013 as a result of political discontent between President Salva Kiir and his then-vice president, Riek Machar. The civil war in South Sudan dates back to 1955, when Sudan was engulfed in a deadly civil war that culminated in the country's independence from the Anglo-Egyptian administrations in 1956. When South Sudan gained independence from Sudan in 2011 after a referendum in which more than 98 percent of the population voted in favour of separation, the country became a case study for possible African secessions. The joy of freedom, however, faded swiftly, and was quickly replaced by brutal warfare. As a result, the study looked at the key reasons of the conflict and came to the conclusion that political discontent stemming from elite power struggles drove the violence. Furthermore, the report claims that blaming race as the root of the conflict is both deceptive and misguided. Instead of being the spark for violence, the current crisis in South Sudan has reignited ethnic identities and ideologies to unprecedented levels. The unreasonable ambition for political power and control among the country's upper echelons has sparked a fresh surge of ethnic resentment in South Sudan. Although ethnicity is not considered to be the primary cause of the conflict, the study concludes that any viable solution to the conflict must provide incentives for fair ethnic and inter-ethnic representation and coalitions, given that the current situation has invigorated ethnic identities and sentiments in the country.
