Abstract Climate change has resulted in significant agricultural losses and hardships, causing insecurity in the livelihoods of smallholder farmers and contributing to poverty in Ethiopia. This study investigates the vulnerabilities of three agroecologies in Ethiopia. The vulnerability assessment, conducted through a cross-sectional survey and spatial-temporal trend analysis using GIS, included 646 households. An overall vulnerability index was developed using a balanced weighted average...

Additionally, the work explored the relationship between family state and the educational achievement of elementary pupils. The investigation employed a descriptive correlational survey research design. The target study...

This chapter provides a comprehensive methodology for beginners to evaluate and project climate change simulations using regional climate models (RCMs). Focusing on the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, the chapter presents a step-by-step approach for assessing and projecting the trends of two crucial global climatic indicators: surface air temperature and precipitation. The evaluation and projections are conducted for both the near-term (2031–2050) and long-term (2081–2100) future...

How a government identifies needs during uncertain times, is a reliable measure of its perception and sensitivity to critical governance issues. This study was conducted to determine how much attention and mainstreaming is given to the issues of climate change and disaster risk reduction, especially in these uncertain times of disasters and climate crisis.

<p>The present study focused on the statistical development of solar irradiance predictive models for locations with limited solar irradiance measuring equipment. Multiple linear regression models were developed using both measured and satellite corrected meteorological data. The study chose easy to measure and access meteorological data for analysis and modelling. Multicollinearity and correlation analysis were performed to analyse the relationships among the independent and depended...

The objective of this study is to estimate the degree of heavy metal pollution (As, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Se, Tl and Zn) of market gardening soils in the Kadiogo region. This work provides reassurance about the quality of the studies soils in the central region of Burkina Faso. Thirty-two (32) market garden soil samples, including two (02) for the background, were measured using ICP-MS. Indeed, the results show that the average concentrations of heavy metals in the 0-20 cm soil profile...

This qualitative case study investigated teacher educators’ (lecturers) use of the dynamic mathematics software, GeoGebra, to teach calculus in three teacher education institutions (TEIs) in Zambia. Visualisation, a key characteristic of GeoGebra, is increasingly gaining recognition of playing a critical role in mathematics teaching and learning, especially in problem solving tasks. It is considered a powerful didactical tool for students to construct mental and physical representations that...
