A systematic review and meta-analysis of prevalence studies among African medical...

In the wake of increased cybercrime against insufficient cybersecurity professionals, there is an urgent need to bridge the skill-gap.The demand for skilled and experienced (approximately 40,000 to 50,000) cybersecurity professionals in Kenya is soaring all-time high.This demand is against the available 1700 certified professionals.Therefore, this paper seeks to bring to fore interventions put in place to address the skill gap through curriculum interventions.In order to get a clear...

This chapter assesses the results of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of management training for rice farming in remote rainfed lowland areas of Mozambique. The training taught basic practices but did not require the use of modern purchased inputs such as inorganic fertilizers or modern varieties, which are not easily available to poor farmers in remote areas. The intention-to-treat (ITT) effect on paddy yield was 447–546 kg/ha (29–36% of the control group average yield) with statistical...

The effectiveness of basic farm management training (e.g., seed selection, nursery bed setup, field leveling, bund construction, and transplanting) for the African rice Green Revolution has not been fully examined. This study evaluated a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of such training in the remote rainfed lowland areas of Mozambique. The training taught these practices without introducing modern varieties or inorganic fertilizers. The intention-to-treat (ITT) effect on paddy yield was...

The study assessed the provision of Early Childhood Education in selected government primary schools of Kabompo District. A case study design was used involving a sample of 70 respondents selected from three Early Childhood Education Centres in Kabompo district, with geographic locations of urban, peri-urban and rural and remote primary schools. Data were collected using questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, observation schedules and ECE class check-lists....

This paper presents part of a wider study on Student’s perception and performance in Mathematics in secondary schools of Hendeni District, Tanzania. Using data collected from 100 respondents, the paper reports that there is a statistical significant relationship between students’ perception and their performance in Mathematics. In other words, the students who perceive Mathematics to be a hard subject are more likely to perform poorly than their counterparts who perceive it to be a simple...

Early and Enhanced Clinical Exposure immediately places postgraduate students in a clinical setting and incorporates continual hands-on instruction throughout their studies. It aims to motivate students by strengthening their academics, improving clinical and communication skills, and increasing their confidence. The underlying principles are to provide a clinical context and to ensure that the patient remains the centre of learning. The School of Nursing Sciences implemented this model in...

The investment in education creates present costs but brings benefits in the future such as increased earnings, improved health, economic growth, long life, and better service delivery in the place of work. The student expenses include but are not limited to tuition fees, books, and lodging costs which can be classified as direct costs and the opportunity cost of forgoing present leisure for expected benefits. Taking a loan from a bank requires collateral such as houses or machinery but this...

The study that used survey research design and was done in several secondary schools in two counties in Kenya: Nairobi and Nyandarua Counties. The study sought to examine the ICT familiarity levels and frequency of use, ICT training, and ICT perceived barriers in mathematics teaching. First, the study found that teachers were most familiar and mostly used Microsoft applications and the Internet on mobile phones as opposed to mathematical software. Second, training mostly focused on Microsoft...

Inclusive smart cities aim to create a more equitable and accessible urban environment for all citizens, including people with disabilities, low-income individuals, and marginalized communities. This concept involves using technology and data to improve urban services and infrastructure while ensuring that everyone can benefit from these advances. The observation is that nowadays, in the majority of African countries, the city’s transformation into a smart city only concerns a small portion...

This study presents paleoenvironmental results from three radiocarbon-dated lagoonal sedimentary sequences from the Thapsus lagoon in the southern Gulf of Monastir (Tunisia). Variations in major and trace element concentrations and foraminifera associations coupled with measurements of grain size, total nitrogen (TN), total organic carbon (TOC), total inorganic carbon (TIC), and atomic TOC/TN ratios (C/N) were conducted to reconstruct the climate since ~3900 cal yr BP. In addition to a...
