The relationship between environmental factors and human health has long been a concern among academic researchers. We use two indicators of environmental pollution, namely particulate matter (PM10) and carbon dioxide (CO2) to examine the effects of poor air quality on human mortality. This study explores an issue that has largely been ignored, particularly in the African literature, where the effect of air pollution on human mortality could be influenced by gender specification. We analyse...

Abstract While many groups have historically been marginalised in education systems, few groups have faced the same extent of exclusion and discrimination within formal education systems as the diverse group of pupils with disabilities, learning difficulties or disadvantages. A range of special education settings have been institutionalised, yet most often support and services were and continue to be provided in segregated or separated formal settings. However, over the past several decades,...

Four malaria indicator surveys (MIS) were conducted in Zambia between 2006 and 2012 to evaluate malaria control scale-up. Nationally, coverage of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) increased over this period, while parasite prevalence in children 1-59 months decreased dramatically between 2006 and 2008, but then increased from 2008 to 2010. We assessed the relative effects of vector control coverage and climate variability on malaria parasite prevalence over...

Methodological approaches to the study of second-language classrooms are extremely varied, reflecting both a great diversity of research questions and a range of different theoretical perspectives on the conduct of research. Stringer (2008 , p. 14) points out, however, that most research into classrooms is still conducted by researchers from outside the classroom situation describing what they see and stating the implications. In this respect, Walker (2001 , p. 23) argues that an...
