Furthermore, an educational praxis is sought to teach leaders the disposition for ethical-justice and peace, followed by a proposal for a new cultural heritage of humanity; namely, the quest for a true humanity as our collective destiny.

Morocco has been experiencing significant climatic disturbances in recent decades. The climate change issue arises mainly in terms of water deficits induced by the decrease in rainfall received and the increase in temperature. The objective of this study is to characterize the drought temporal and spatial distribution and severity within local agro-climatic zones of Settat Province. The study area extends over a distance of 85 km from North to South and concerns three agro-climatic zones....

It has been 20 years since the Bologna Process has been realized, and the present paper examines efforts made to harmonise higher education in Africa. Similar to other continents, the higher education reform in Africa is inspired by the Bologna Process. This is clearly reflected in the African Union strategy for harmonisation of higher education and different reforms and harmonisation initiatives. The reforms in African higher education are directly and indirectly influenced by the European...

Although variant alleles of hundreds of genes are associated with sensorineural deafness in children, the genes and alleles involved remain largely unknown in the Sub-Saharan regions of Africa. We ascertained 56 small families mainly of Yoruba ethno-lingual ancestry in or near Ibadan, Nigeria, that had at least one individual with nonsyndromic, severe-to-profound, prelingual-onset, bilateral hearing loss not attributed to nongenetic factors. We performed a combination of exome and Sanger...

Studying African students in the context of China-Africa relations, this chapter is divided into five parts. The first provides a survey on the current research related to the topic, followed by an overview of the history of African students in China. The third part is an analysis of China’s policy towards African students. Why do the African students want to come to China? What attracts them? What are their purposes? The fourth part will discuss the favorable conditions for their coming to...

An essential component of every university’s desired outcome is producing successful students with advanced academic and cognitive learning skills. However, this goal might be compromised and, in some extreme cases, not attained due to circumstances encountered in the university education process. In an attempt to determine some of the factors that affect academic performance in the university amid the ever-increasing needs of students, this study ascertains the academic engagement levels of...

Environmental pollution caused by potentially toxic elements (PTE) from various anthropogenic sources has become a global concern. An estimated 7 million premature deaths occur globally each year owing to ambient and indoor air pollution. This study assessed the concentration of PTE, level of contamination and human health risks of dust samples collected from classrooms in Abeokuta, South-Western Nigeria. Samples were collected from windowsills, chair, tables, and corners of the classrooms....

Tanzania is one of the East African countries most vulnerable to climate change impacts. Droughts and floods in 2015–16 had devastating effects on food production, crop failures and livestock deaths reaching record levels. One of the underlying projects of the Tanzanian government to mitigate these impacts is the Southern Agricultural Growth Corridors of Tanzania (SAGCOT), an area spanning the country’s largest river basin, the Rufiji, where it collaborates with national and transnational...

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose level due to impaired insulin secretion, insulin action or both with diabetic retinopathy being the most common microangiopathic complication. A comparative, cross- sectional study aimed at evaluating Doppler blood flow indices in the ophthalmic artery in diabetic retinopathy and non-retinopathy patients when compared to normal controls in a Nigerian tertiary hospital.Methods: Data were collected...

Sustainable development begins with education primarily through lifelong open and distance learning (ODL). Africa faces an economic and sustainable development problem characterized by relatively low GDP per capita and limited capacity for industrialization and modernization which has not been adequately resolved by the numerous economic frameworks used in the past. A Pragmatism paradigm intricately related to the Mixed Methods approach was used in this research premised on an endogenous...

The outbreak and spread of COVID-19 caused among other happenings the closure of schools as an infection and spread-preventive strategy. This came with a pedagogical shift from face to face to on-line teaching and learning which had to be home-based. This shift did not affect only learners but the teachers too. The purpose of the study was thus to explore the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic’s inevitable and resultant schools’ closure on teachers in Uganda, with special emphasis on both...
