X-ray diffraction, ore microscopy, and electron microprobe studies have been implemented on ore samples obtained from rhyolitic rock collected at the Tazrouk volcanic district, Hoggar. The identified manganese ore minerals include Alkali-felspar, Magnesio-arfevdsonite and cryptomelane. All these minerals are poorly crystalline. The minerals’ chemical compositions indicate little contamination with other elements. Modes of occurrence are principally taking place through replacements, cavity...

Doctoral training has increasingly become the requirement for faculty in institutions of higher learning in Africa. Africa, however, still lacks sufficient capacity to conduct research, with just 1.4% of all published research authored by African researchers. Similarly, women in Sub-Saharan Africa only constitute 30% of the continent’s researchers, and correspondingly publish little research. Challenging these gendered inequities requires a gender responsive doctoral program that caters for...

Uganda is highly vulnerable to climate change impacts as it is susceptible to cycles of flood and drought. Given the impact this poses on its key sectors like agriculture, it has developed a robust climate change policy and legal framework. This paper discusses the incremental development and evolution of climate change policy and legal framework in Uganda that has culminated in the Climate Change Bill.

Street-connected youth (SCY) in Kenya and elsewhere in sub-Saharan Africa are at high risk of HIV. Voluntary Male Medical Circumcision (VMMC) reduces the risk of female-to-male HIV transmission. Circumcision is also a traditional coming-of-age process in many Kenyan ethnic groups. This paper describes the acceptability of VMMC delivered as part of a ten-day healing, educational, and 'coming-of-age' retreat implemented as a pilot with SCY.Male SCY aged between 12 and 24 living on the street...

This study, therefore, examined the preferred learning styles among full time and part time university students at Egerton University, Njoro Campus. The study utilizes the causal-comparative...

The value of higher education (HE) in Tanzania is mostly dominated by economic thinking and in private terms, accrued to one individual. This interpretation is criticized for its narrow and limited account of the value of HE. As such, scholars have argued for a more and expansive understanding of the value of HE, which moves beyond the economic dimensions to include human development values. However, from a broader interpretation of the importance of HE, relatively little is understood about...
