Syria This study delves into predicting drought characteristics in Syria, focusing on their duration, frequency, and intensity. It utilizes a set of 13 models sourced from the latest CMIP6 dataset, encompassing two distinct SSP scenarios. To evaluate how well CMIP6 represents drought attributes in Syria, the research conducts a comparison with observed monthly climate data from CRU TS v4.06 and ERA 5, as well as the CMIP6 model ensemble outputs for the reference period (1970–2000). This...

This paper analyses the capacity of participatory mapping as a multi-level learning process to identify and overcome current barriers to productivity within small-scale irrigation schemes. The analysis is based on thirteen smallholder irrigation schemes in Tanzania, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe, where farmers, project officers and other key stakeholders participated in informal mapping teams to map the schemes. Critically, participatory mapping translated problems generally known by stakeholders...

Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) has become a crucial construct in the context of teaching and learning worldwide. Despite this, relatively limited research has been undertaken to explore its implementation in Algerian tertiary education. The latter has witnessed, more recently, an increased interest in the development of technical graduates' English language skills and content knowledge necessary both in academic and professional scopes. This paper aims to provide insights on...

Abstract The 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquakes (M w =7.7 and M w =7.6, respectively) had serious impact on human lives, infrastructure and buildings. Unfortunately, more than 15 million people have been affected and current estimation of financial loss exceeds 35 billion dollars. Furthermore, more than 550 M w >4 aftershocks have been recorded since the catastrophic events of February 6 th 2023. Such emergency situations require rapid actions for assessing the failure mechanism and scale of...

The world's energy demands are growing at an unprecedented rate, and the exploration of new hydrocarbon sources is more important than ever. Therefore, the objective of this study was first to quantitatively analyze hydrocarbon source rock potentiality of the Triassic-Jurassic of Mandawa Basin based on the generalized group method of data handling neural network (g-GMDH), Machine learning, and Geochemical using well logs data. Then a novel g-GMDH was presented to predict a continuous...

With students becoming more involved in the internet and social networking sites, they become more prone to their consequences. This study focuses on measuring the social networking intensity and the fear of missing out among the medical students of University of Khartoum, then examining the association between them.Facility-based, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted at Faculty of Medicine, Khartoum University between January and March 2021. A total of 333 students were selected...

Rationale: The school-built environment plays a role in shaping children’s eating behaviours and promoting physical activities (1). We assessed the food and physical activity environment in Tanzanian primary schools Methods: This was a substudy of the larger study, a cross-sectional study (N=1170), which was conducted in 20 primary schools [10 government and 10 private] on the prevalence and correlates of overweight / obesity among school children in Tanzania. A multistage sampling technique...

Artificial intelligence (AI) programs generate responses to input text, showcasing their innovative capabilities in education and demonstrating various potential benefits, particularly in the field of medical education. The current knowledge of health profession students about AI programs has still not been assessed in Jordan and the West Bank of Palestine (WBP).This study aimed to assess students' awareness and practice of AI programs in medicine and pharmacy in Jordan and the WBP.This...

Values stand as a fundamental cornerstone that modern educational systems place at the forefront, shaping the personality of learners imbued with distinct attributes. Embedded within educational curricula, programs, and pedagogical strategies is a deliberate focus on specific values, aimed at their tangible manifestation in learners' cognitive processes, behavior, and applied ethics. This engenders a profound responsibility for educational institutions, acting as channels that traverse the...

Climate change has become a global concern with substantial impacts in all regions, especially coastal communities. In response, coastal communities take different adaptation strategies to minimise the negative impacts of climate change. Understanding climate change from the perspective of local communities can provide valuable insights into policy and strategy planning for the unprecedented consequences of climate change. Data was gathered in three sub-locations through a questionnaire...

Urbanization and industrial activities around Timsah Lake have led to discharging of pollutants into the lake. The heavy metals pollution level in the lake sediments and implications for living organisms and human health were estimated using several ecological indices. The spatial variations of metals (Cd, Cu, Pb, Mn, Zn, Ni, and Fe) and organic matter content demonstrate that most concentrations increase toward the western part of the lake. The geoaccumulation index (Igeo) arranged the...

Emerging infections due to new species of Anaplasma and Ehrlichia are become frequently diagnosed as the cause of human infections, and seroprevalence studies of these pathogens suggest that asymptomatic anaplasmosis and ehrlichiosis are common. Identification of these cases of asymptomatic disease is critical for understanding of the epidemiology and for public health interventions. We report here a high prevalence of asymptomatic Anaplasma spp. infections among school-aged children in...

Despite the international political willingness, as framed in SGD 4.7, to integrate Global Education in national policies and curricula, little is known about how this is reflected in initial teacher education (ITE) in the Global South. Through document research with content analysis, the study at hand explores the profile of the ITE curriculum in Rwanda towards Global Education. The results indicated that the ITE curriculum has a threefold faced profile in relation to Global Education –...
