Gerga district contains different activities, urban, agriculture, and industry, which can impact adversely on the soil quality. Sixteen samples of the agricultural soil (0–30-cm depth) were collected to investigate the pollution of soil with trace elements (Co, Ni, Pb, and Mn). The statistical techniques were applied to discriminate the sources of these elements. The studied soil ranged from uncontaminated to moderately contaminated with the studied trace elements based on the contamination...

The main purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between teachers’ continuous professional development practices and their job performance. It was a co-relational study, and was carried out from the three education zones of the state. Population of the study was 4500 teachers’ from the state public secondary schools. The sample for the study was 450 teachers’ selected from the three education zones of the state representing 10% of the population. Researchers-developed...

The international classification of functioning, disability, and health for children and youth (ICF-CY) developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) is a framework for understanding concepts of disability specific to children and youth. This framework has been used in countries around the world to support the education of children with disabilities. In this article, we argue that the ICF-CY has the potential to inform and support Ghana’s education system and to improve the implementation...

In Tanzania, many people are not aware of the concept of learning disabilities. Parents and teachers often do not realise that children who do poorly in school and do not have visible disabilities, could still have a disability that is causing their poor school performance. This paper presents the results of a research and service project to identify and support students with mild disabilities in an inclusive school in Tanzania during the three-year pilot process. An international NGO...

There are currently over 7.6 billion mobile phone connections in the world, which is approximately equivalent to the world’s population; as if to say that everyone in the world is hooked up to mobile telephony. By the next decade, it is estimated that the number of mobile phone subscribers would increase by a billion with 90% of this growth coming from developing countries. This exponential growth coupled with its ubiquity highlights its essentiality in all spheres of human endeavour....

This research assesses the relevance of information and communication technology (ICT) in primary education quality in a panel of 49 Sub-Saharan African countries for the period 2000–2012. The empirical evidence is based on Two Stage Least Squares (2SLS) and Instrumental Quantile regressions (IQR). From the 2SLS: (i) mobile phone and internet penetration rates reduce poor quality education and enhancing internet penetration has a net negative effect of greater magnitude. From the IQR: (i)...

Tourism is among the major economic sectors in Tanzania, contributing about 17.5% of the gross domestic product (GDP). However, the sector is facing many challenges including climate change leading to the destruction of tourist attractions. This study clearly identifies the impacts of climate change in KINAPA. Furthermore, the study examines the existing climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies in KINAPA. Also the study analyzes the contribution of climate change adaptation on...

The impact of extreme climate such as drought and flooding on agriculture, tourism, migration and peace in Nigeria is immense. There is the need to study the trend and statistics for better planning, preparation and adaptation. In this study, the statistical and temporal variation of climatic indices Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI ) and Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) were computed for eighteen (18) stations covering four climatic zones (Sahel, Midland,...

We test the hypothesis that agroforestry improves livelihoods and mitigates climate change in smallholder farming systems simultaneously. Data were collected using household surveys and standard biomass assessment approaches using locally relevant allometric equations. Summary statistics and regression analyses reveal linkages between on-farm carbon stocks and farm- and household characteristics. With an average of 4.07 ± 0.68 Mg C ha−1 and Shannon diversity index of 3.06, farm carbon stocks...

Violence against women with disabilities is pervasive, yet a paucity of research examines intimate partner violence (IPV) experienced by women with disabilities in low- and middle-income countries.
