Background: Nowadays sexuality and reproduction are the most fundamental parts of life, but because of cultural and political sensitivities, they often get little attention in public policy discussion. Parent-adolescent communication about sexual issues remains a challenging issue in Ethiopia as the social banned in many traditional communities still limit such communication. This study assessed factors to hinder adolescent-parent communication on sexual and reproductive health issues among...

Background: Adolescence is a period of transition from childhood to adulthood where new behaviors are more easily learned than when in adulthood.sexual and reproductive health are among the most essential aspects of life for adolescents, but due to cultural taboo and political sensitivities, they often obtain little attention in public health policy discussion.In Ethiopia, sexual and reproductive health problems of adolescents are increasing from time to time and this is related with most...

The purpose of this thesis is to explore the relationship between the impacts of climate change and transboundary water management (TWM) mechanisms. The thesis does so through a case study of the transboundary water agreements between Israel, Palestine and Jordan – states that share the transboundary waters in the Jordan River Basin (JRB), a basin that lies in a region of high political tensions and decreasing precipitation. By using empirical climate data on precipitation, temperature and...

This paper examines the possibility of Nigeria to be counted among the achievers of the World best 20 in knowledge based economy Vision 20:2020. Focusing on the attainment in Science, Technology and Mathematics education. The paper concerned specifically with the various teaching methodologies employed by teachers in Science, Technology and Mathematics (STM) classrooms that could be of significant impact on students’ academic performance as a panacea to vision 20:2020. The paper recommends...

Millions of people around the world depend on fisheries and aquaculture directly or indirectly for their food security, livelihoods and poverty reduction. However, ocean’s ability to meet their needs is in grave danger. Fish is a crucial source of livelihood for fishermen in the coastal rural regions of Tanzania but climate change has caused a major threat to the same. As ocean temperatures rise, many fish species are being driven into deeper waters or toward the planet's poles. The shifting...

This paper proposes to model the long run impact of climate change on olive output in Tunisia, the third largest olive-oil producing country in the world, using panel cointegration techniques. The long run analysis reveals that temperature increase and inappropriate working tools reduce olive output in semi arid areas. Therefore, we propose an appropriate training for workers to develop their skills and public policy subsidizing the innovation of used capital stock at least in the south. We...

Current research has been focused on heavy metals pollution in surface water and groundwater and effect on irrigated soil from El Minia Province, north Upper Egypt.Concentration of heavy metals (e.g., As, Co, Hg, Ni, Se, Cd and Cr) in surface water, groundwater and irrigated soil samples is most significantly affected by leachate of many pollutants as the factories, agricultural activities, urban and natural processes.Microbiological parameters and microscopic investigations are revealed...

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) clearly confirmed that past Green House Gases (GHGs) emissions result in unavoidable warming regardless of the global mitigation efforts. Wide ranges of impacts and vulnerabilities are associated with this warming. Adaptation is, however, the only available response waiting for the global community to undertake mitigation actions that lead to stabilization of GHGs in the atmosphere to prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the...

Long about 4100 km, the Niger River in its central part in Mali, extends an area which can reach 40.000km2 called the Inner Niger Delta. Largest wetland in West Africa, delta's hydrosystem is constituted by main branches, effluents and distributaries of the river, ponds rosaries, large lakes and channels. Right in the Sahel, the delta is an important productive ecosystem with a rich biodiversity. One million person derive their livelihood from this ecosystem through key activities such as...

Amniotic band syndrome is a rare congenital disorder. The authors report the first cases documented at Souro Sanou University Hospital in Bobo-Dioulasso (CHUSS) in 2 male new borns. The malformations found at birth, were worn only on limbs and were in the form of skin furrow necking with a major lymphedema downstream. In both cases, the constriction furrow at member pelvic was associated with a club foot and a pseudosyndactyly in one case. Surgical treatment consisted of a section of the...

In reference to professional training for trainee teachers, the tutor or cooperative teacher (CT) is considered as an alternation between two environments, academia and training, contributing to the training by the advice and support.Our research provides "support for physical education student teachers (PE-STs)" as determinants of teaching advice of CT.This study includes a qualitative analysis which aims to identify the advice of CTs to the student teachers for whom they are responsible...

Tutoring is located at the crossroads of academic and practical logic; it's defined as a training device in the workplace.Indeed, much research has demonstrated the importance of the accompaniment of the cooperative teacher's (CT) on their practicum.The CT is contributing to the training by the advice and support.Our research "the formative role of CT" seeks to explore the accompaniments practices in initial training of PE-STs.This study includes a qualitative analysis which aims to identify...

The purpose of this paper is to analyse some of the major debates on theological education - its theological departure points, motives and objectives - amongst Lutherans and Evangelicals in sub-Sah ...

Review of long-term climate data for Ethiopia shows increasing rainfall for some regions and decreasing rainfall for others with temperature rising for all regions (Energy Group of ECSNCC Network, 2011). Global circulation models predict a 1.7-2.1oC rise in Ethiopia's mean temperature by 2050 (EPA, 2012). Average annual temperatures nationwide are expected to rise 3.1°C by 2060, and 5.1°C by 2090 (Kidanu et al ., 2009). In addition, precipitation is projected to decrease from an annual...
