Summary Offshore Exploration at the Golfo San Jorge basin is in an early/middle stage, even after 60 years since the first geophysical acquisitions and 30 drilled wells in an area of more than 55,000 km2 and still with non-commercial discoveries. The deep objectives have a high remaining potential, considering the results of the onshore deposits, where they continue to optimize the projects to the classic reservoirs of the basin. For this reason, it is of interest to keep geological models...

Environmental degradation due to human economic activities is closely linked to poverty in developing countries and can have long-term effects on well-being and sustainable development. This study investigates the nexus between toxic pollution and poverty by examining the economic impacts of lead (Pb) exposure on household welfare in Kabwe, Zambia. Kabwe, once a lead and zinc mining center, is now one of the world's most polluted urban areas, with high soil and air lead levels posing...

One issue that threatens virtually every industry in Nigeria is climate change, which has the potential to reverse the country's years of progress in that area. Nigeria can no longer opt to adapt to climate change. Despite the nation's efforts to adapt to climate change, much work remains, particularly in examining the possibilities of nature-based climate solutions to combat climate change. This study uses a desk review approach, which was supplemented by involvement from stakeholders. The...

This study influenced by the Technology adoption theory, explored the prevalence of calculators in Ekudibeng circuit mathematics classrooms in South Africa. Pragmatism guided assessment of technology adoption by allowing application of both quantitative and qualitative data analysis to portray reality. A sequential design of document analysis, a survey, lesson observations, focus group discussions and in-depth interviews was used. Empirical data was collected from a purposive sample of 154...

While cities drive climate change through excessive consumption, they are simultaneously vulnerable due to their location, external resource reliance, and high population densities. As a result, cities are susceptible to internally and externally driven climate change-induced risks. Our cities’ public realm holds the potential to promote locally appropriate climate change adaptations to lower residents’ exposure to its increased effects. While improved public space as climate change...

Climate change in the semi-arid northern Kenya is evidenced by increasing frequency and duration of severe droughts. The effects are devastating with the region experiencing massive loss of livestock, total crop failures and increased levels of hunger and starvation resulting in near collapse of livelihood sources which is mainly pastoralism. This study investigated the most appropriate drought adaptive strategies that pastoralists in the semi-arid northern Kenya depend on to subsist. Data...

The use of information and communication technologies has changed how teachers and students receive and process information. There are numerous ways that these technologies have been used to support learning. Electronic learning, or e-learning, is the process of teaching and learning remotely using electronic media. University students are avid information seekers who are eager to acquire new concepts, ideas, technologies, and methods of gathering knowledge. Therefore, this study aimed to...

Abstract Mental disorders are common among university students. In the face of a large treatment gap, resource constraints and low uptake of traditional in-person psychotherapy services by students, there has been interest in the role that digital mental health solutions could play in meeting students’ mental health needs. This study is a cross-sectional, qualitative inquiry into university students’ experiences of an online group cognitive behavioural therapy (GCBT) intervention. A total of...
