Drought is a natural climatic phenomenon that occurs when rainfall is less than average for an extended period of time. It can occur at any time and in any location. Droughts are extremely difficult to predict at the start and end. It happens quietly, and the consequences can last for years after the event is over. Drought is a natural occurrence with economic, environmental, and social implications. Drought is characterised by a prolonged lack of precipitation that results in significant...

This current study attempts to identify the effect of socioeconomic status on academic achievement from secondary schools in Mogadishu, Somalia. The paper had three main objectives which are: 1) to determine the relationship between parents ’education and academic achievement at secondary schools in Mogadishu, Somalia. 2) To examine the relationship between parents ’occupation and academic achievement at secondary schools in Mogadishu, Somalia. 3) To explore the relationship between parents...

The research aimed to identify the development of each of the maximum and minimum temperature and relative humidity of the winter and summer seasons in Egypt and their stability during the period , and the extent of the impact of this development on the feddan productivity of wheat and maize crops in Egypt, and the consequent economic effects.Among the results, the productivity of a feddan of wheat crop decreased by 0.05 tons, with an increase in the maximum temperature in the winter season...

The future of the society depends on the quality of life of the children.The nutritional status of school aged children impacts their health, cognition and subsequently their educational achievement.The present study was conducted to determine the nutritional status and dietary habits of school aged children (6-12 years) attending public (non-fee paying-NFP) and private (fee paying-FP) primary schools in Zagazig city; capital of Sharqia governorate, Egypt.Based on the World Health...

Background of this paper hence distinguishes the high-influence practice principles of online progressed instruction and gives a logical examination to partners at schools to think driving on the internet preparing in relative conditions.Appraisal is probably going the foremost moving idea to be adjusted to the present new instructive framework, and various colleges are worried about the way to affect a right assessment of understudies, aptitudes and knowledge.The principle target of this...

Results: The study revealed that 26 (27.7%) patients had normal cognitive function, 32 (43%) had mild cognitive impairment, 21 (23%) had mild dementia, 8 (8.5%) had moderate dementia and 7 (7.4%) had severe dementia. Older age, low education level and longer duration of dialysis history were found to have significant associations with cognitive impairment, [P: < 0.001, 0.002, and 0.012 respectively]. While hemoglobin, serum albumin, serum creatinine, serum urea, serum potassium and Kt/V...

Persistent organic pollutants represent about 95 % of the industrial sector effluents in Egypt. Contamination of the River Nile water with various pesticides poses a hazardous risk to both human and environmental compartments. Therefore, a large scale monitoring study was carried on pesticides pollution in three geographical main regions along the River Nil water stream, Egypt.Organochlorine and organophosphorus pesticides were extracted by liquid-liquid extraction and analyzed by...

As a result of climate change, Somalia has experienced severe droughts in recent decades because Somalia is a water-scarce country in East Africa with arid and semi-arid environments. In this study, drought in Somalia from 2010 to 2021 was investigated. For this purpose, the agroclimatological data consisting of precipitation, air temperature, and potential evapotranspiration (ETp) were obtained and calculated in DrinC software. The Reconnaissance Drought Index (RDI) and Standardized...

Mutations in GJB2, a gene encoding the gap junction protein connexin 26 (Cx26), are a major cause for inherited and sporadic non-syndromic hearing loss, albeit with highly variable clinical effects. To determine new mutations and their frequencies in a Southern Egyptian population restriction fragment length polymorphism, gene sequencing, and single strand conformational polymorphism revealed only 2 mutations for GJB2: c.35delG and p.I71N. The allelic frequency of the c.35delG mutation was...

Ten polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners were determined in water samples collected along the River Nile using gas chromatography-electron capture detector (GC-ECD). PCB concentrations ranged from 14 to 20 μ g/L, which were higher than those reported in previous studies, indicating serious PCB pollution in the River Nile. PCB congener profiles varied depending on the sampling sties. PCB-138 was the predominant congener accounting for more than 18% of total PCBs. The composition of PCB...

<p class="p1"><strong>Background: </strong>In Egypt, several infectious diseases of zoonotic origin have emerged in recent years like H1N1, MERSCoV and H5N1, the latter now endemic. Responding to these diseases requires a workforce trained in multi-disciplinary approaches to zoonotic disease research and control. It is difficult to deliver multidisciplinary and one health training globally because of the limited number of higher education programs that support such training. In low and...

Along the rapid development of Information and communication technology (ICT) tools and growth of Internet access offer opportunities that facilitate teaching and learning activities in the context of higher education. However, the study of ICTs readiness and acceptance in Somalia higher education is meagre. This research aims to examine the current state of ICT readiness among university students and explores the factors that affect their readiness acceptance. It proposes an extended model,...

The WHO estimates 10-30% of hospital admissions are associated with poor infection prevention and control (IPC). There are no reliable data on IPC status in Tanzanian healthcare facilities; hence the Star Rating Assessment (SRA) was established to address this. This study compared the health facility performances on adherence to IPC principles using baseline and reassessment data of SRA.A retrospective analysis of data from eight randomly selected regions across Tanzania. Data was gathered...

Since December 2019, an outbreak of severe respiratory infection (COVID-19) emerged in the city of Wuhan in China. The knowledge, awareness and practice of medical students toward COVID-19 pandemic is of most importance as it demonstrates their preparedness to deal with this pandemic. The objective of this study is to assess the knowledge, awareness and practice of medical students in Sudan universities about COVID 19.This is a cross-sectional study conducted on 19 universities that have...
