Rwanda, like many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, is still relatively early in development. Industrialization and urbanization are major drivers of the county's economic growth. Rwanda is also undergoing an epidemiological transition, from a pattern of morbidity and mortality dominated by infectious diseases to a pattern shaped by non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The rise in NCDs is due, in part, to increasing exposures to environmental hazards. These include emissions from the growing...

This study is the first to use the novel artificial intelligence tool, Bing Image Creator, to produce predictive imagery that clearly illustrates the catastrophic consequences of expected temperature changes in the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima (TTA) region by the end of this century. Our objective is to bring these impacts closer to decision makers while evaluating the model's ability to produce relevant images in line with the region's unique social, economic, and natural characteristics. The...

In this study, we use the RegCM4.6 regional climate model to simulate extreme air temperatures in northern Morocco, with a focus on the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima (TTA) region. In pursuit of this, we evaluate its performance by comparing its simulations with CRU observational data and HadGEM2-ES historical simulations over 35 years for the purpose of predicting future temperature evolution by the end of the century in the region using the validated RegCM4.6 model. The results show a slight...

Considering the negative situations faced by the migrating societies, it is known that the language and culture factors exert a stronger influence on the mathematics course than the other undesirable conditions. From this perspective, it is known that the mathematical performance of individuals is likely to increase by placing the concept of number sense in the center. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine the number sense skills of Syrian immigrant students with reference to gender...

A series of strikes by public university students protesting the exorbitant cost of tertiary education across South Africa (SA) in 2015, set the stage for the government to be coerced into implementing a “free” tertiary education policy that it neither planned nor prepared for. This implies that any financing activated by the government in aid of the financial constraints in tertiary education had to be re-prioritised from other government programmes. The main objective of this study is to...

This research aims to investigate the influence of climate change on the groundwater level (GWL) in Mornag plain in Tunisia. Due to the spatiotemporal variability of rainfall (RF) and temperature, aquifers all over the world have seen significant water level decline in recent decades. Therefore, it is crucial to analyze and estimate the GWL variability for reliable groundwater (GW) management in the context of climate change. In this study, we focus on the plain of Mornag, located in the...

The countries of the Sub-Saharan Africa are nowadays in the center of the world's attention, parallel to the growing interest in global energy needs and sustainability and international trade. The study reviews the situation and challenges of technical teacher training, and its current processes, relying on literary sources, reports, research, news portals, and own prior knowledge and on-site information gathering. We examine the collected data with a qualitative text/content analysis, and...

Most small and medium scale enterprises in Ghana neglect very critical performance indicators in their bossiness. As a result most SMEs do not survive till their fifth anniversary. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between prevention focus, promotion focus, resilience, and SME performance in Ghana. Furthermore, we investigated the moderation effect of entrepreneurial learning and Entrepreneurial orientation on the relationship between entrepreneurial resilience and SME...

The potential for information and communication technologies (ICT) and inclusive finance to drive entrepreneurial activity in an African context remain unclear. We specifically consider effects on male versus female entrepreneurs. This study unveils new insights based on an annual panel series for 52 African countries from 2005–2019. The system-generalized method-of-moments (sysGMM) and the novel method-of-moments quantile regression (MM-QR) aided the analysis. The estimates of both...

One of the greatest problems of learners of English as a second language has been the use of the primary auxiliary verbs ‘Been and Being’. This error is easily observed across different users of the English language, irrespective of age, qualification and status, the print media and others. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to ascertain the effects of Leitner’s learning box (LLB) on enhancing the teaching and learning of the verbs “been and being” on primary school pupils in the FCT,...

Abstract Objectives To explore the values, practices, and behaviours that support nursing students’ professional development in practice-based learning environments in Rwanda. Methods A focused ethnographic approach was used. Nursing students (n=12), nurses (n=11), clinical instructors (n=7) and nurse leaders (n=8) from three teaching hospitals and an educational program participated in the study. Data was collected trough individual interviews and participant observation. Results...

The implementation of the clean schools remains a global interest in 21st-century secondary schools. To make the world a more sustainable and better place to live in, humanity needs to be able to generate solutions to increasingly complex, and ever-growing challenges in the secondary school setting. Secondary schools encounter day-after-day violence linked happenings students. Violence has caused secondary school unrest, refusal to undertake various activities, sitting in and at other...

This chapter is a critical appraisal of the deliberate deployment of biblical verses by Foundations for Farming in Zimbabwe in crafting a method of farming called Farming God's Way. The centrality of the Bible in the establishment of the principles of farming for poverty alleviation is what motivated this undertaking. Ordinarily, the Bible and Farming are not mentioned together. This does not, however, imply that the Bible has said nothing about farming, environment or climate through...

One of the major challenges posed by climate change in agriculture is the long-term alteration in cropland suitability. This alteration has serious consequences for food security and economic stability at global, regional, and local scales. especially in smallholder and rainfed agricultural systems like in Ethiopia. A comprehensive understanding of the current state of croplands and future changes under the warming temperature and increasing rainfall uncertainty is critical for national...

Despite the heavy investment in education that the Kenya Government makes each year, delinquent behavior among University students continue to affect the goals of effective training and skill building. This undermines efforts at poverty alleviation and wealth creation in the country. Emerging evidence suggests that there is a correlation between University students’ demeanor and parenting behaviour in Kenya today. At a tender age of 17 many young people are thrust into the independent...

Climate change poses a serious long-term threat to biodiversity. To effectively reduce biodiversity loss, conservationists need to have a thorough understanding of the preferred habitats of species and the variables that affect their distribution. Therefore, predicting the impact of climate change on species-appropriate habitats may help mitigate the potential threats to biodiversity distribution. Xerophyta, a monocotyledonous genus of the family Velloziaceae is native to mainland Africa,...
