It is therefore important that primary schools in Kenya get prepared so that the children are able to transit to schools from their homes in order that upon their landing in schools, they find a soft and friendly environment. Transition to school will enable the autistic children...

2 Abstract: This study focused on the constraints to the use of climate variability/ change adaptation strategies in South-west Nigeria. Multistage random technique was employed to select the location and the respondents. Descriptive statistics and principal component analysis (PCA) were the analytical tools engaged in this study. The constraints to climate variability and change examined before did not use PCA but generalized factor analysis. Hence, there is need to examine these...

The emerging social collaborative technologies such as Facebook and Twitter are greatly influencing the evolution of e-learning in higher education. As these technologies become more easily available to students and lecturers, the approach to e-learning continues to evolve leading to a social collaborative e-learning (SoCeL) model. SoCeL involves social interactions and collaborations among students and lecturers in order to make it easy for them to construct and share knowledge. They...

Although social networking sites (SNSs) present a great deal of opportunities to support learning, the privacy risk is perceived by learners as a friction point that affects their full use for learning. Privacy risks in SNSs can be divided into risks that are posed by the SNS provider itself and risks that result from user’s social interactions. Using an online survey questionnaire, this study explored the students’ perception of the benefits in using social networking sites for learning...

Belonging is a fuzzy concept that captures a vast range of private and public human social interactions. Citizenship is a little more tangible, particularly in the cases of excluded citizens. Traditional approaches to these two concepts have pointed, reflex-like, to the role of the nation-state in crafting them. As Craig Calhoun (2007) said, “nationalism helps locate an experience of belonging in a world of global flows and fears” (Calhoun 2007: 1–2). Discussions of belonging and...

1 Abstract: Rain-fed agriculture exists in North Sinai and Marsa Matrouh in Egypt. The objective of this paper was to close the gap in our understanding on how climate would affect agricultural sustainability in rain-fed area. To implement that, inte- grated modeling approach was used. BISm and Yield-Stress models were used to simulate the effect of climate change on crops productivity in 2030. Furthermore, the effect of manure application to these crops was done to explore its effect on...

Regions along the Gulf of Guinea are at high risk of groundwater pollution on the continent, according to a map drawn by researchers at the Universite catholique of Louvain, Earth and Life Institute, in Belgium. Much of Central Africa and some coastal lands in Northwest Africa are also vulnerable, the map shows.

Since the 50s, many changes are observed in the climate of the globe, the warming of the atmosphere and the ocean, the decrease in the extent of snow and ice, and rising sea levels.In addition to the demographic pressure, the Maghreb countries are suffering from the drought, which accentuates the phenomenon of desertification and soil erosion, as well as their salinity, which leads to the salinization and depletion of water resources.In Morocco, the climate change leads to the erosion of the...

Since the 50s, many changes are observed in the global climate namely; the warming of the atmosphere and ocean decreased the extent of snow and ice, and rising sea levels. In addition to population pressure, the Maghreb countries suffer from drought, which accentuates the phenomenon of desertification; soil erosion and salinity, leading to salinization and depletion of water resources. In Morocco, climate change causes soil erosion as a result of desertification resulting in siltation of...
