Groundwater quality in Beijing, China was evaluated by measuring the quantities of major and minor elements, temperature, pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), and electrical conductivity (EC). Most samples contained high concentrations of NO3– (5.13 to 164.0 mg/L), which is a serious water quality issue. This NO3– originates from the soil surface and enters the groundwater by infiltration. Factor analysis modeling demonstrated that NO3−, Cl−, SO42−, Ca2+, and Mg2+ in the system are produced by...

Abstract The anatomy curriculum at Namibia's first, and currently only, medical school is clinically oriented, outcome‐based, and includes all of the components of modern anatomical sciences i.e., histology, embryology, neuroanatomy, gross, and clinical anatomy. The design of the facilities and the equipment incorporated into these facilities were directed toward simplification of work flow and ease of use by faculty, staff, and students. From the onset, the integration of state of the art...

This study adopted the expost facto design in which the results of some Nigeria practical knowledge of Chemistry and their tests of theoretical knowledge of Chemistry were used to predict their performance in MOCK-SSCE Chemistry. The Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) is a terminal examination while the internal or State qualifying examination set after the pattern of SSCE is called MOCK-SSCE. Out of 33 schools in Ogbadibo LGA of Benue State Nigeria, only 15 schools met the...

Epistemological theories that speak to how we know what we know are critical theories to interrogate when teaching about mysticism from the perspectives of marginalized groups. It is our epistemological bearings that help us to determine what we deem to be “legitimate” mystical experience. This chapter, which describes a course on African American mysticism, begins with an exploration of how mysticism has been historically defined in Western culture and the ways in which issues of power,...

The paper examined Universal Tertiary Matriculation Examination UTME and Post Universal Tertiary Matriculation Examination POST-UTME as predictors of students’ academic performance in chemistry in Nigerian universities. It also found out the relationship and effectiveness of UTME and post UTME results in predicting chemistry students’ academic performance in universities. Ex-post facto design was adopted, since the data collected were already available without any manipulations. The...

The European and African continents are crossed by several N-S-trending rifts, all together major structural features at world scale. They include, from North to South, firstly the Oslo Permian rift (Norway), continued by the Neogene fracture system of Central-Southern Germany (Eifel, Rhine Graben), then the rift system of French massif Central and Rhone valley, ending finally with the great African rift, the major structure of this continent. These major crustal fractures, extending down in...

The political foundations of education in South Africa were perhaps never more evident than in 1976 when students in Soweto rebelled against the National Party's declaration that Afrikaans would become the language of instruction for mathematics and social studies in Black high schools. That rebellion helped undermine the apartheid regime,...

This chapter explores childhood social learning among Aka and Bofi hunter–gatherers in Central Africa. Existing literature suggests that hunter– gatherer social learning is primarily vertical (parent-to-child) and that teaching is rare. We use behavioural observations, open-ended and semi-structured interviews, and informal and anecdotal observations to examine the modes (e.g. vertical versus horizontal/oblique) and processes (e.g. teaching versus observation and imitation) of cultural...
