Agriculture represents a central component of the economy of all African countries, as reported by many international organizations, representing an important source of income for a significant part of the world's population. In countries where rainfall is more uncertain due to climate change, risk management approaches would reduce agricultural risk and therefore the variability of farmers’ incomes. This chapter is a review of literature that introduces the main concepts related to...

Social goal orientation, academic engagement and creativity are strong indicators and facilitators for effective learning. The association among these variables to jointly predict academic achievement has been vague and nebulous in the field of educational psychology. The study aimed to explore the students’ social goal orientation, academic engagement, and creativity as predictors of academic achievement in mathematics in Anambra State. Four research questions and three null hypotheses were...

Abstract Southern Africa is a climate change hotspot with projected warming and drying trends amplifying stresses in a naturally warm, dry and water-stressed region. Despite model-projected uncertainty in rainfall change over the eastern escarpment of South Africa, strong model agreement in projections indicates that southern African is likely to become generally drier. Sharply increased regional warming and associated strong reductions in soil-moisture availability and increases in...

This chapter discusses the role of the African media in reporting on energy-related climate change issues on the continent. Energy is at the core of sustainable development. So is climate change. This is because climate change increases the cost of development by exacerbating the effects of poverty and population growth. This exposes millions of people, especially in developing countries, to food and water shortages and diseases, which can limit the opportunities for sustainable development...

Africa is largely confronted with varying issue of socioeconomic and insecurity, which is now increasingly linked with the mounting pressure on the continent's natural capital as glaring in the Sahel and Norther regions. As such, this study further probed the drivers of ecological footprint (EFP) by utilizing panel dataset of 39 African countries over the 1996 to 2018. Considering that several suspected drivers or covariates (which include the economy sectoral aspects, globalization aspects,...

This study focuses on ICT governance in higher education in a developing country. The research employs an interpretive single case study to describe and understand ICT governance at Alpha, a vocational computer college in Libya. Fourteen key informants, including deans, teachers, and students, participated in the interviews. Consistent with previous studies, our results reveal formal ICT governance arrangements at Alpha College. However, Alpha College leverages its general management...

Students’ relationships to the curriculum and their cooperation with peers and instructors during the learning processes have both benefited by engagement. The main objective of the study aims to examine the effect of students’ performance and engagement in an authentic-based multimedia learning Environment. The study adopted Quasi experimental design with a purposive sample of 90 undergraduates’ students from a public university in South-west Nigeria. The students were furtherly distributed...

This study examines the perceptions of Egyptian journalists of the effectiveness of professional training in digital journalism and determines the training-needs of journalists to adapt to innovative journalism practices. The study applies mixed descriptive methods based on The Motivation–Hygiene theory of what motivates employees. Data analysis is based on an online questionnaire with a snowball sample of 134 Egyptian journalists from different media outlets and in-depth interviews with 10...

Education is essential in the life of a society because, through it, people can learn science and technology. Modernization in Islamic education needs to be carried out to catch up with backwardness in all fields in Egypt. This article aims to describe the history of Islam and the modernization of Islamic education in Egypt. Starting from modern ideas from the West brought by the colonizing nation, Egypt was able to rise from adversity and catch up by giving birth to modern reformers....

Abstract Climate change poses a threat to water security where both current and future generations are concerned, with its accompanying impacts set to be greater in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). As a result, questions pertaining to climate change adaption in LMICs are receiving increased attention from academics and policymakers alike. It is broadly accepted that top‐down approaches to developing resilience to climate change challenges have been shown to be limited and that...

The aim of this study is to assess, within a GIS, the pollution risk of the Mornag groundwater using the DRASTI-LU and SI index methods, and to validate the resulting maps with geochemical data. To achieve this objective, four risk maps were created by combining hydrogeological and geochemical data. 41 samples were analyzed to validate the risk maps developed. Each risk map was calcified using four reclassification methods so that a total of 16 risk maps were produced. The spatial...
