Jelen kutatás átfogó célja az volt, hogy olyan kérdőíveket dolgozzon ki, adaptáljon és pszichometriailag validáljon, amelyek a végzős középiskolai diákok a tudomány természetére vonatkozó hiedelmeit, valamint a tudományok tanulása iránti motivációját vizsgálja Namíbia kulturális kontextusában. Habár a nemzeti tanterv elismeri a tudományos műveltség fontosságát, a jelenlegi mérési gyakorlatok a namíbiai középfokú oktatásban nem tartalmazzák a tudományos érdeklődés episztemikus aspektusát....

BACKGROUND: Work holds great meaning and benefits beyond just monetary gain for people with intellectual disabilities. It gives these individuals the opportunity to engage in meaningful occupation. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to explore challenges that people with intellectual disabilities (PWID) experience when adapting to their worker roles in the open labor market. METHODS: The study used grounded theory as the research design. Five male participants and two key informants...

This study examined the total, direct and indirect effects of climatic variables (temperature and precipitation) on crop yields (maize and millet) between regions located in close proximity to each other a spatial panel analysis of five administrative regions of Mali over a period of 30 years (1988-2017). Our results show that temperature and rainfall have direct, indirect and total effects on maize yield, while the direct effect on millet yield is not statistically significant. In other...

In recent years, maize production in South Africa has faced challenges related to climate change which have prompted farmers to adapt their production activities. We assessed factors informing the adaptive decision-making of maize farmers in the Vaal catchment by examining linkages between farmers’ experiences, their perceptions of climate change and the adaptation strategies they use. Data were collected through semi-structured household-level interviews, key informant interviews and focus...

Our work aims to monitor wheat crop using a variety-based approach by taking into consideration four different phenological stages of wheat crop development. In addition to highlighting the contribution of Red-Edge vegetation indices in mapping wheat dry matter and nitrogen content dynamics, as well as using Random Forest regressor in the estimation of wheat yield, dry matter and nitrogen uptake relying on UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) multispectral imagery. The study was conducted on an...

Aim: Abattoirs are one of the most pronounced but yet ignored sources of highly recalcitrant wastewater that has significant impacts on the environment. The aim of this study was to assess the impacts of Kabundaire abattoir effluents on the quality of water in the receiving Mpanga river, Fort Portal tourism city of Uganda. The study also estimated the amount of water used and wastewater generated in the facility between December 2018 and December 2019, and the number of animals slaughtered...

Though housing is a basic right that everyone is entitled to without discrimination, in practice, persons with disabilities face numerous barriers in the enjoyment of this right. South Africa is plagued with what is often referred to as a housing crisis. Though the government has taken steps towards provision of housing to qualifying beneficiaries, including efforts to accommodate disability in housing policies and provision, persons with disabilities continue to face challenges and barriers...

Abstract In this study, the validity of the double dividend hypothesis for several African countries (Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Mali, South Africa, and Uganda) is investigated for the period of 1994–2017. The double dividend hypothesis claims that, in addition to reducing environmental pollution, environmental taxes can also increase employment. In this study, the validity of this hypothesis is examined with panel co‐integration and long‐run estimators. According to the findings obtained,...

Abstract Background Indoor air pollution (IAP) is an increasing public health hazard in developing countries.

The impact of trade liberalization on the environment has generated a heated debate recently. With rising concern over environmental quality, an investigation of the consequences of trade openness on the environment has become unavoidable. In this paper, we estimate an input-output structural decomposition analysis model to examine whether Morocco benefited from trade liberalization in terms of CO2 emissions. Particularly, we test whether Morocco can be regarded as a pollution haven before...

Abstract Background: MABISA (Malaria and Bilharzia in Southern Africa) project generated knowledge on schistosomiasis trends, prevalence, intensity and incidence under changing climatic conditions. Uptake of this knowledge may benefit the affected communities in the uMkhanyakude area to develop strategies that may reduce their vulnerability to schistosomiasis. Research uptake (RU) is dependent upon the engagement of various stakeholders who are likely to utilise the generated knowledge. This...
