Esophageal Varices is one of the most common side-effects of liver cirrhosis diseases which is detected by Upper endoscopy. Screening all patients implies many endoscopies will be needed, which increases the workload of endoscopy units. The aim of this study is to find solutions to diagnose the disease, by analyzing the patterns found in the data through classification analysis, using machine learning techniques for early prediction in cirrhotic patients based on their clinical examination....

Aim: Determination of the effect of training CPR program on the nurses working practice and knowledge in Emergency department (ED). Nearly 20% survive rate in adult of hospital cardiac arrest (CA). Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is increase the survival rate into double number but CA without treatment is falling 10–15% per minute of survival rate; however, the performed proper CPR likely shifts this curve towards a higher probability of survival.Material and Methods: The study is...

The effect of climate change on the water resources of the Cheliff basin in Algeria was evaluated with a particular focus on the significant factors affecting the water reserves. The Cheliff basin, which is one of the largest basins in the north of Algeria, is affected by water scarcity due to the extension of industrial and agricultural activities with the population growth, on the one hand, and to a decline in water resources caused by extreme droughts, on the other hand. The results of...

This edited book examines English Language Teaching (ELT) research in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), examining in detail a range of issues and concepts, and calling for further in-depth research on ELT in the region at both the local and the international level.

Despite the increasing costs of education and the growing use of information communication technologies (ICTs) in developing countries, the need for more educational opportunities is increasing. This paper aims to answer the question: is e-learning a panacea for education in developing countries? It is based on the case country Sudan, and analyzes students', academics', and policymakers' attitudes toward e-learning, ICTs, and educational technology. This study uses an exploratory research...

The tunning and atmospheric constants for fourteen years was obtained using the West African regional scale dispersion model (WASDM) from the AOD dataset. 2013 showed a very high AOD value within the range of 0.1 to approximately 0.9. But, in the year 2009, an AOD value of 0.063 was observed and recorded. From the Pareto chart and seasons witnessed in Farafenni, we can deduce that the highest AOD distribution is within the cooler, dry season. The average distribution of the Angstrom exponent...

Urban pollution in most cities in West Africa has exceeded the World Health Orrganization (WHO) limit. Inhabitants of such location are potentially at risk of natural accidents among others. Till date, there are inadequate ground measurement dataset on the research area. The dataset that was adopted for this research work was obtained from the Multi-angle Imaging Spectro-Radiometer (MISR). Dataset from 2000 to 2013 were acquired to make necessary inferences in this study. It is observed that...

The atmospheric air quality of a given location gives an indication of the health risks or exposures of the inhabitants of such a place. One major parameter for determining the amount of aerosols in an atmospheric region is the aerosol optical depth (AOD). It is a vital tool for predicting the air quality over a geographic enclave. In this paper, the pollution state of Bo-Sierra Leone was considered. Fifteen years primary (aerosol optical depth) dataset was obtained from a Multi-angle...

This study examined the effect of Cognitive Acceleration Training Programme (CATP) on cognitive ability and achievement of Upper Basic II Home Economics students in East Senatorial District of Kogi State Nigeria. The study adopted quasi-experimental design of a non-randomized pre-test post-test control type. The sample consisted of 390 (196 males and 194 females) students drawn from eight schools using purposive sampling technique. CATP in addition to Home Economics Achievement Test (HEAT)...

Knowledge on soil properties likely to influence P sorption in tephra soils is very important for sustainable management of available P. Sorption studies on six tephra soils were conducted to relate P sorption to soil characteristics in order to identify those with potential influence on P sorption.Four equilibrium-based sorption models commonly encountered in soil studies (Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Van Huay) were used to describe P sorption in the soils.P sorption was determined by...
