The aim of this study is to examine the effect of shocks to patent intensity and its empirical and practical policy implications for the South African economy. This stems from the gap in the literature on policy simulation exercises related to the boost in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and patent intensity in African countries. Hence, this study established the dynamic relationship between patent intensity and economic growth in South Africa for the period of 1980–2020,...

From an historical perspective the United Kingdom (UK) has been the first European country of choice for Nigerian students wishing to study overseas. As an international contingent, Nigerian students continue to represent the UK's third largest international student body. This paper provides an insight into research undertaken to examine students' capacity to transition into the UK Higher Education system from a sociocultural perspective. Across the UK Higher Education Institutions (HEI's)...

The research aims to design a training program based on GoeGebra program and to explore its effectiveness in developing the teaching skills of mathematical generalizations among the Islamic University in Gaza female students who practice teaching. The research adopted the constructive approach in order to design the intended training program based on interactive programs and the one-group quasi-experimental approach to reveal effectiveness of the designed training program. The sample of the...

The results showed that emotional intelligence increases efficiency and effectiveness and thus raises the overall performance of the institution, as emotional intelligence helps to act well and reduce various pressures, reduces stress and makes better decisions, and emotional intelligence helps teachers to establish...

This paper sets out why land expropriation is a hidden danger of the response to climate change; a danger that is not adequately captured in legislation and that risks disproportionately affecting the poor. Measures to mitigate the risks and impacts of climate change are often dependent on states’ access to land. The legal mechanism through which states can obtain rights over land is expropriation, but a fair expropriation process depends on a number of structural conditions that are (partly...

Rising evidence over the years reveal that reduction in greenhouse gases emission and adaptation to climate change effects have been unable to resolve the issue of climate change impacts, resulting to losses and damages. This has been attributed to natural, technical and economic constraints. In Nigeria, extreme climate events such as precipitation extremes and floods have been increasingly observed resulting in losses and damages in flood-prone communities. This study was aimed at assessing...

Mango production has the potential to boost Ghana's socioeconomic growth and development. However, mango is susceptible to climate change risk resulting in the adoption of innovations among mango farmers. Drawing on the protection motivation and the innovation diffusion theories , this study assesses the effect of climate change perceptions on the adoption of innovations among mango farmers in the Yilo Krobo Municipality, Ghana. The study used data collected from 204 randomly selected...

Urban planning remains an important tool in managing climate change impacts. It also remains crucial in building sustainable adaptive capacities, particularly in cities of the global north. It however remains largely unknown in urban Africa about planning agencies' perspectives on climate change adaptation-urban planning conundrum, and corresponding policy responses. This paper thus examines urban planners' perspectives and planning responses on managing climate change impacts and building...

Wealthy nations must step up support for Africa and vulnerable countries in addressing past, present and future impacts of climate change The 2022 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) paints a dark picture of the future of life on earth, characterised by ecosystem collapse, species extinction, and climate hazards such as heatwaves and floods [1]. These are all linked to physical and mental health problems, with direct and indirect consequences of increased morbidity...
