Incorporating international perspectives into teaching and research has become one of the core goals of higher education institutions that are keen about maintaining global relevance. For a developing continent like Africa, higher education is an essential instrument for socioeconomic development. In contrast with the popular view that African countries such as Nigeria are often sidelined in the move of internationalization, this chapter explores a new dimension in the internationalization...

adolescence is a special period of physical and psychological preparation for safe motherhood that requires specific attention as it marks the onset of menarche. Hygiene-related practices are significant during menstruation to prevent being predisposed to reproductive tract infections and other complications. The main objective of the study was to determine the outcome of educational intervention on the menstrual hygiene practices among school girls in Ogun State, Nigeria using the health...

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education teach the four disciplines in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. Globally, the STEM areas are in the forefront of economic development. The government of Nigeria has already forged partnerships and is drawing upon the technological experience of other countries to build new STEM learning opportunities for Nigerian students.

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women. Its mortality rate is high due to late detection and cardiotoxic effects of chemotherapy. In this work, we used the Support Vector Machine (SVM) method to classify tumors and proposed a new mathematical model of the patient dynamics of the breast cancer population. Numerical simulations were performed to study the behavior of the solutions around the equilibrium point. The findings revealed that the equilibrium point is stable...

Having a clear vocabulary profile of Moroccan master students might reveal where these participants stand compared to other countries. Therefore, the study aims to investigate the effect of languages of instruction in Morocco (e.g., Arabic vs. French) on the receptive vocabulary size of EFL Moroccan master students (e.g., departments of letters, science, and law). To this end, Meara’s (2010) Yes/No test was used as an instrument to measure the overall vocabulary size of these participants. A...

Background: Understanding the differences in learning styles among medical students and their impact on the learning processes may enhance better learning and knowledge acquisition that is necessary for improving learning outcomes. This study aimed at the determination of the learning style preferences of the University of Nigeria preclinical medical students and the impact they have on their academic performance. Materials and Methods: The study involved 158 third-year medical students (102...

The present work aims to contribute to a better understanding of the impacts of climate change on the availability of surface water resources in the Mékrou sub-basin at the Yakrigourou outlet in northern Benin.To achieve this objective, descriptive statistical methods were applied to hydro-climatological data.The historical data were taken from the Météo-Bénin database and from the General Directorate of Water in Benin.The simulation data are those of the HadGEM2-ES climate model under the...

Abstract In arid and humid contexts, dams’ reservoirs play a crucial role in water regulation and flood control. Under the projected climate change (CC) effects, even a preoptimized management approach (MA) of a reservoir needs to be assessed in this projected climate. This chapter aims to assess the impacts of CC on the Hydroclimatic (HC) variables of the basin upstream the reservoir of Bin El Ouidane (Morocco), and the effects on the performances of its preoptimized MA. The applied...

The internet has altered the way we interact with other people, making the world a global village. Since the explosion of the internet, many aspects of our lives have not only been eased but aided with more harmful consequences. The secrecy of the internet has resulted in its swiftly becoming a breeding ground for illegal activities that continue to grow as internet child exploitation (ICE), a form of child abuse by their peers or adults using the internet. However, the threats children are...

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is the most common endocrine disorder in children. The glycated haemoglobin (HbA1C) level was found to be correlated with the academic skills and classroom attention in children with T1DM. This study aimed to assess the impact of T1DM status and control on the academic performance of school children. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among diabetic children attending two secondary care hospitals in Khartoum, Sudan. We applied the total coverage sampling...

In the climate-change period, all countries strived to design sustainable buildings. As environmental influenced contributes to design decisions, to save energy and to achieve the sustainable development indicator according to Egypt Vision 2030. This can be achieved by accessing the maximum of daylight, consequently the facade design has a major impact on daylight performance.This paper aims to evaluate the daylight performance by using dynamic shading, in a university classroom in Egypt. It...
