Measurement of background ionizing radiation level at Teaching Sohag Hospital, Egypt was carried out using Thermo Scientific RadEye B20 Multi-Purpose Survey Meters. Radiation doses from MRI, CT, X-ray, US and linear accelerator departments and its related risks to the patients from were analyzed. The results indicated that the ambient dose rate and indoor annual effective dose rate (IAEDR) are high when the devise is ON. Ambient dose values ranged from 0.082±0.015 to 0.09±0.019 μSv/hr,...

This research set out to investigate the active voices of primary pupils in the government schools of a developing country (Egypt). Despite their traditional background in the classroom, the children had valuable insights about the classroom and how to improve it to enhance the learning of English. The pupils in this study described learning two Englishes: the bookish English of the classroom, leading to university; and the spoken, evolving English which pupils acquired mainly at home and...

Introduction Individuals’ educational attainment has long been considered as a risk factor for HIV. However, little attention has been paid to the association between partner educational attainment and HIV infection. Methods We conducted cross‐sectional analysis of young women (aged 15–34) in 14 Demographic and Health Surveys from seven sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) countries with generalized HIV epidemics. We measured the degree of similarity in educational attainment (partner homophily) in...

Since teaching in a girls' high school in UK with nearly 90% Muslims, I have become interested in issues concerning teaching music to Muslims. In an attempt to understand the concerns that many Muslims have with music in school in the UK, I have visited various Muslim countries looking at their music education (Harris, 2003.) Egypt and Turkey present two interesting cases because although they both have a predominantly Muslim population, Egypt is ruled according to Islamic principles, whilst...

Health disparities in chronic diseases have a significant negative effect on the public health of African-Americans. In view of the extent to which lifestyle behaviors can influence the risk for certain chronic diseases, there is a corresponding need for engaging health education materials within this population. Education-entertainment (E-E), an education strategy in which entertainment media is used as the context for presenting relevant health information, has previously shown success in...

Training experience is an important part in the initial training of future teachers of Physical education (PE). The practice part of training is ensured at the same time by a university professor (UP)and a cooperative teacher from the school environment (CT).This latter ensures the teacherstudent's training, supervision and evaluation.He is usually selected according to his experience, his skills and his professional qualities.However, the recruitment of these mentors is considered as a...

Background/Aim . Respectively with the prevalence of chronic hepatitis C in the world, using noninvasive methods as an alternative method in staging chronic liver diseases for avoiding the drawbacks of biopsy is significantly increasing. The aim of this study is to combine the serum biomarkers and clinical information to develop a classification model that can predict advanced liver fibrosis. Methods . 39,567 patients with chronic hepatitis C were included and randomly divided into two...

Sexual violence is an important public health problem of growing concern all over the world. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and pattern of sexual assault managed in Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital Sokoto, Nigeria.It was a retrospective study that looked into cases of sexual assault admitted into the hospital between January 2010 and December 2014. Information on patients' biodata, and relevant details on the cases were extracted from the patients' case...

Using three daily measurements of wind speed and direction from synoptic weather station data in SE Niger, we examined the diurnal, seasonal and interannual time-scale of Sahel climate variability between 1950 and 1992. The seasonal wind patterns are closely related to the temperatures and West African monsoon dynamics. The transitions between the two seasons are marked by an important increase in calms (wind speed < 0.5 m s−1). Such variations are related to meridional shifts of the Inter...

Background Depressionamong university students is extremely prevalent and wide spread problem across the world (1,2). University students are special group of people that are during a critical transitory period in which they are going from adolescence to adulthood and can be one of the most stress full times in person’s life. As a reaction trying to fit and maintaining good grades, plan for the future and be away from home some students get depressed (4 &5). The average age of on set is also...

The modern operational space-borne optical sensors in the thermal infrared spectrum allow monitoring of the Earth's thermal field for detection of pre-earthquake thermal infrared (TIR) anomaly in land surface temperature in and around epicentral areas. Based on the concept that stress in rocks in tectonically-active regions may be manifested as temperature variation through energy transformation process, remote sensing-based thermal technique has been employed recently. A new method called...

In the semi-arid region of the Sahel, climate change is already affecting the farming systems and these impacts are expected to heighten in the near to mid-century. Given the complexities and conflicting drivers at play and the foreseeable negative consequences on the livelihoods of the majority of farmers, it is worthwhile designing relevant adaptation packages that will alleviate these effects. In this study, we envision to assess the implications of implementing two adaptation packages...
