The main objective of this study was to assess the rainfall and temperature variability in Deder District, Eastern Oromia, Ethiopia. Historical climate (1989-2018) data were obtained from the National Meteorological Agency (NMA). Rainfall and temperature variability and trend analyses were carried out using Instat (v3.37) and XLStat statistical software. Seasonal and annual rainfall totals and numbers of rainy days were highly variable. Belg (Short season) (FMAM) and annual rainfall totals showed a decreasing trend by the factors of -8.2 and -6.25 mm per year respectively but, kirimt (long season) (JJAS) rainfall total increased with 6 mm per year. The average belg onset date, kiremt cessation date, and length of growing (belg-kiremt) period were 15 April, 26 October, and 174 days respectively, and fewer variables. Monthly, seasonal, and annual mean minimum and maximum temperatures were fewer variables. Belg, kiremt and annual maximum mean temperatures were 23.87, 22.56, and 22.75°C...

With the computerisation of business activities in higher education institutions ERP vendors quickly perceived a new market opportunity. Enhancements or mere adaptations of these solutions, which stemmed from the experience in business practice were not always successful. By taking a global view, the present needs and future expectations of higher education institutions on one side and ERP vendors on the other side in domestic higher education environment were analysed. The article presents research results in the field of ERP systems and their use in higher education institutions (universities, faculties and independent higher education institutions) in Slovenia and abroad. On the basis of the study of the supply on the market and by a thorough study of cases from practice we try to find similarities and differences between Slovenian higher education institutions and world trends.
