Education and moral values influence human behaviour, including intention to engage in actions that are beneficial to the society. Increasing research effort has recently focused on sustainable human behaviour, but research that explores the role of sustainability-oriented marketing education (SME) and morality in stimulating sustainable actions, such as sustainable consumption, seems to be missing in the literature. The purpose of this research is to examine how SME and morality influence...

In a context of climate change observed in West Africa for several decades, knowledge of agroclimatic indices is essential in order to analyze and predict the potential impacts of climate change on agriculture with a view to adaptation. This study aims to analyze the impacts of climate change on agroclimatic indicators such as agricultural humidity index, agricultural water stress index and agricultural water need satisfaction index within the main Ivorian climatic regimes across the N'zi...

In South Africa, transracial adoption could result in the loss of birth language for the adopted child. Language is an important part of racial and cultural identity in South Africa. Not being able to speak a local African language causes Black African transracial adoptees to be judged by outsiders. Lack of fluency in an appropriate language limits social circles associated with biological family and makes reunion more complex. Many transracial adoptive parents wish to facilitate the...

Objective This study assessed impaired fasting glucose and associated factors among perinatally HIV-infected adolescents and youths in Dar es salaam Tanzania. Background Impaired fasting glucose is a marker of heightened risk for developing type 2 diabetes among perinatally HIV-infected individuals. Therefore, identifying individuals at this stage is crucial to enable early intervention. Therefore, we assessed impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and associated factors among perinatally...

Despite substantial declines since 2000, lower respiratory infections (LRIs), diarrhoeal diseases, and malaria remain among the leading causes of nonfatal and fatal disease burden for children under 5 years of age (under 5), primarily in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The spatial burden of each of these diseases has been estimated subnationally across SSA, yet no prior analyses have examined the pattern of their combined burden. Here we synthesise subnational estimates of the burden of LRIs,...

Student dropout is a complex issue with significant repercussions for educational institutions and nations. Using the Hofstede national culture model, this study assessed the various social, psychological, economic, and organizational factors that influence student dropout. Since developed, developing, and least-developed countries score differently on the Hofstede model, Australia, Saudi Arabia, and Ethiopia were selected as representative nations. The evaluation indicates that social...

Background. An adverse drug reaction (ADR) is harm that arises from the use of a drug. Adverse drug reactions have a huge impact on the health system since they result in drug-related morbidity and mortality as well as indirect costs such as loss of productivity at work. Reporting of adverse drug reactions to a relevant authority is one of the methods of enhancing medication safety; however, underreporting of adverse drug reactions by health workers is a major challenge in enhancing...

There is little evidence of how differentiated instruction is being implemented, if at all, in low- and middle-income contexts, which often have unique challenges such as availability of resources and large class sizes. In this paper, we present the results of a qualitative study in eight multigrade preprimary classrooms in Kenya. We used classroom observations and teacher interviews to understand how teachers approached differentiation during language and mathematics lessons, including...

The report will include an overview of global climate finance flows as well as the policy frameworks, mechanisms, and instruments currently in place at the continental and global levels. It also includes a systematic, in-depth analysis of four African countries – Benin, Mali, Rwanda and Zimbabwe - at the forefront of mobilizing climate adaptation finance for food systems transformation and resilience-building activities with a focus on the policy and institutional innovations that have...

The shifting from face-to-face interaction in a formal classroom to digital learning outside the classroom in the recent education system has made a great change in our learning habit. As the online learning mode has become more prevalent in around the world including Nigeria due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is particularly crucial to re-examine students’ opinions and preferences about the teaching modes. Now, a crucial question that may exist is will schools and universities keep at online...

The Admission Point Score (APS) is used by most South African universities to identify a university programme in which a learner is likely to succeed. While the APS appears helpful to gauge the aptitude of a learner and predict their success, the reality is that between 2008 and 2015 almost 50% of learners who made the required APS for a Science programme failed to complete the requirements for that programme. This paper delineates and diagnoses learner vulnerability, using a learner...

Climate change is a change in the state of climate identified by a change in temperature and precipitation that affect the hydrology of basins. This study has investigated the effects of climate change on the stream flow of Mojo River Catchment using (CORDEX)-Africa data outputs under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios. Three-time horizons: near period (2006–2031), mid-period (2031–2055), and far period (2056–2080) were used. The SWAT model was used to simulate runoff. From the MIROC-MIROC5 Model...

East African countries face significant societal challenges related to sustainable development goals but have limited resources to address these problems, including a shortage of nutrition experts and health care workers, limited access to physical and digital infrastructure, and a shortage of advanced educational programs and continuing professional development.This study aimed to develop a web-based program for sustainable development with a focus on digital learning, digital health...

The current study aims at identifying and analysing language needs of Syrian children under temporary protection. In line with this, we administered the “Needs Scale for Learning Turkish”, “Needs Scale for the Content” and “Needs Scale for the Process” developed by Çağ (2022) to 194 primary school students. We adopted survey model, one of quanlitative research methods, and used percentage, arithmetical mean, Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis tests to conduct the analysis. We concluded at the...

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a paradigm shift from traditional on-campus presence learning to online learning. While the transition to digital education and online learning has been embraced worldwide, the biggest challenge remains the lack of motivation and engagement of the online student. Gamification is the use of game design elements in non-game contexts and in an online learning context; it is an innovative strategy to encourage motivation and engagement. This study shows the...

"The accelerating destructive effects of pollution threaten the existence of all inhabitants of planet earth. Health promotion interventions inevitably include a dynamic harmony of various interacting planetary components and contexts, bio-psycho-social as well as spiritual, cultural and ecological. This study was based on a broad research question as to what would best heal polluted planet earth. As with most countries, South Africa is slowly recovering from the effects of COVID-19. It...

Educational resources and facilities cost money. The government and families mostly cover these expenditures. Kenya has spent considerably in education to improve access and participation. Despite these attempts, many students enroll in secondary school in form one, but the numbers drop as they advance to form four. Some are unsuccessful in the four-year course. The study's main goal was to determine the effect of direct educational costs on the transition rates of students in public...
