An effective drought forecast is an important measure to mitigate some of its most damaging impacts. In this study we compare the effectiveness of two models: Markov Switching Model (MSM) and Robust Regression Model (RRM) with three different approaches to forecast hydrological drought events in the north-west of Algeria using Standardized Runoff Index (SRI). The validation of these models is carried out by hydro-climatic series of 41 stations for the period of 1968-2009. The values of SRI...

The use of virtual learning technologies has become of great interest in twenty-first century science education research. Simulations and other virtual learning technologies have been shown to enhance conceptual understandings of abstract scientific concepts and foster motivation and interest in science learning. This book chapter reports on research of South African pre-service teachers’ use of simulations in physical sciences learning. In adopting an explanatory sequential mixed method...

The general reduction in the supply of labor, disruptions of supply chains, sudden loss of demand, and revenue by COVID-19 pandemic have negatively affected SMEs leading to their inability to operate normally causing liquidity constraints. Presumably, financial systems that reduce information asymmetry, transaction costs, ease external financial constraints, moderate market frictions, and ameliorate structural impediments limiting entrepreneurs and economic agents are instrumental. This...
