Machine learning algorithms are increasingly being used to inform HIV prevention and detection strategies. We validated and extended a previously developed machine learning model for patient retention on antiretroviral therapy in a new geographic catchment area in South Africa.We compared the ability of an adaptive boosting algorithm to predict interruption in treatment (IIT) in 2 South African cohorts from the Free State and Mpumalanga and Gauteng and North West (GA/NW) provinces. We...

This chapter examines how inclusive practices in higher education institutions in Cameroon enhance the equality of reductional opportunities. It discusses the policies on inclusion and its implication for human resource management. While there are good practices on inclusion, the implementation process is a major challenge due to inadequate training of teachers, who are the major human resources responsible for the implementation of these policies. This is more challenging with the...

The productivity of primary school teachers is increasingly questionable, while head teachers seem helpless in the face of the situation. While seeking to improve the teachers’ productivity, one wonders if the school’s host community has no role to play. This study investigated the relationship between the host community’s interaction with the school and the teachers’ productivity in primary schools in Enugu state. The study adopted a correlational research design. The population of the...

This chapter illustrates the early debut of Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language (TAFL) as a discipline by discussing the Sudanese experiment and its often untold history. It represents a unique example in the TAFL field, for it is strongly connected to Arabization policies. In this context, the research narrates the establishment of the Maridi Institute, where Ḫalīl Maḥmūd ʿAsākir directed a group of experts between 1954 and 1960. The study reports on how a script shift project was devised...

Over the years, discrimination based on race, gender, disability, sexual status, or gender identity has become more prominent. While organisations and groups are making efforts to end the discrimination, constitutions and lawmakers have to play a role in overcoming this injustice. This research argues that the various challenges that vulnerable individuals face include the idea that they are seen and treated as nuisances and threats to the national values, moral order, religious beliefs, and...

Coronal mass ejection (CME) occurs when there is an abrupt release of a large amount of solar plasma, and this cloud of plasma released by the Sun has an intrinsic magnetic field. In addition, CMEs often follow solar flares (SF). The CME cloud travels outward from the Sun to the interplanetary medium and eventually hits the Earth’s system. One of the most significant aspects of space weather is the ionospheric response due to SF or CME. The direction of the interplanetary magnetic field,...

Research on collocations has witnessed a significant development during the last decades. A great deal of SLA research on vocabulary has dealt with EFL learners’ collocational knowledge as well as factors that affect its acquisition. The current study attempts to investigate Moroccan EFL Learners’ (MEFLLs) acquisition of Verb-Preposition collocations. It analyses their reception and production of these collocations, and then explores the effect of frequency of occurrence on their...

Detailed work on Quaternary volcanism has been carried out in the Mermoz and Fann sectors of western Senegal. In the Mermoz sector, the main emission zone is a collapsed crater located at the intersection of three major fractures: NE-SW, NW-SE and N-S. The lithological succession in this Mermoz sector comprises, from bottom to top: 1) a substratum with at its base Eocene limestones on which lie Quaternary sands surmounted by stratified tuffs; 2) a vesicular ball dolerite which deforms the...

This article applies findings from the recent national review of South African doctoral qualifications to examine ways in which universities interpret the formulation of, and apply in the context of a differentiated higher education system, the graduate attributes established in the qualification standard, in order to achieve the characteristics of “doctorateness”. The article explores the concept “graduate attributes” itself, the extent to which it is manifested in institutional,...
