These give females in the sexually active age group the opportunity to prevent unplanned pregnancies after refusing to patronize a contraceptive before unprotected sexual intercourse or when a regular contraceptive fails and or when raped. Higher education students fall under the sexually active age category and form a higher risk group for unplanned pregnancy because of inadequate...

The integration of Information and Communication Technologies in education is no longer a "pedagogical luxury" also a search for human learning settings that are compatible with today's students' experiences. Computer animations and simulations are the most used technological tools for educational purposes, especially with the lack of experimental equipment in school laboratories, the use of interactive simulations has emerged as a real competitor to the real experience, and an effective...

Biology can be perceived as a difficult subject to learn due to the conceptual leaps required to understand particular biological topics but now ICT facilitate many things to students and teachers, especially in Morocco. This study investigates the use of 3D animation as an aid for teaching in Moroccan universities.

Abstract This article presents research with migrant primary school learners in South Africa using the wordless picturebook The Arrival (by Shaun Tan) as a research tool. Bringing together the disciplines of literacies and childhood studies, it considers representation, storytelling, absence and silence as part of children's ‘voice’ in order to shed light on communication during fieldwork with Black migrant learners in South Africa. It examines both the absences and/or silences in The...

Air pollution has been considered as one of the serious threats in Egypt. According to a study in Environmental Science & Technology Letters journal, air pollution is one of the main responsible for shortening Egyptians lives by 1.85 years. The main cause of air pollution in Egypt is PM10 which comes from industrial processes. PM10 concentrations exceed daily average concentrations during 98% of the measurement period. In this paper, we will apply machine learning classification algorithms...
