Thematic analysis indicated the students perceived suicide experience to be from relationship, infrastructure, living conditions, and mental health challenges. The students...

This paper investigates the effects of crop biodiversity on farm income and production risk using a large panel dataset of rural households in Kenya. We consider three different metrics of in situ (on-farm) crop diversification (richness, evenness and concentration). We apply a partial moments-based model to test the effects of each strategy on welfare defined as expected crop income, variability (variance) and downside risk (skewness). Our comprehensive econometric approach differentiates...

The article at hand seeks to unveil the different patterns of communication between Moroccan and American students. The article is based on a conducted experiment in which a group of American students were put together to converse freely under the topic of social media. The same experiment was replicated with a group of Moroccan students. Each group used their native language (Moroccan Arabic for Moroccans and American English for Americans). The results are drawn from the observations made...

The management of cultural diversity at school, due in part to migration dynamics, is a growing preoccupation throughout Europe and the world. The challenges focus mainly on the school integration of pupils of foreign origin and on relations with their families. Indeed, integration facilities are organized in different countries to ensure equitable education to newcomer pupils, such as bridging classes in French-speaking Belgium (Cauchie, Bruyninckx & Salham, 2019). However, little attention...

Traditionally, women have been underrepresented in Computing studies. The discipline is male-dominated in spite of the efforts promoting the participation of women in the field, both in the student base and in the professional arena. Literature underlined that student attraction and professional retention are aspects to analyse in a sound way in order to build strong and grounded theories for this complex misbalance phenomenon. In this scenario, authors study the gender gap in computing...

This paper makes a case for the need to explore this issue through analyses of how different gendered and demographic groups of young Tanzanian attendees of culturally relevant...

Abstract Insects can be very good learners. For example, they can form associations between a cue and a reward after only one exposure. Discrimination learning, in which multiple cues are associated with different outcomes, is critical for responding correctly complex environments. However, the extent of such discrimination learning is not well explored. Studies concerning discrimination learning within one valence are also rare. Here we ask whether Lasius niger ants can form multiple...

Breast cancer is the top cancer among women both in the developed and the developing world. Many deaths can be avoided if breast cancer can be detected and treated early. The practice of breast self-examination (BSE) is a convenient, no-cost tool that can be used regularly for detecting breast cancer at an early stage. Therefore, this study sought to assess the knowledge and practice of breast self-examination among young females in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.Institutional-based cross-sectional...

The integration of multiple approaches often presents a better and valid interpretation of water quality. In the present study, multiple water quality indices were integrated with multiple pollution indices to ascertain the quality status of drinking water sources (streams, springs, dug wells and boreholes) in Ojoto area, SE Nigeria. Water samples were tested for physicochemical properties such as pH, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Cl–, SO42–, HCO3–, NO3–, Fe, Zn, Ni, Cr, and Pb. Several pollution...
