In developing countries such as Morocco, the concentration of air pollutants has been steadily increasing since the Industrial Revolution in the 1970s; this level has reached a very large-scale in big cities. Therefore, it is extremely important to describe the problem, especially its toxic effects on human health. The study identified the sources of air pollutants in Mohammedia, which is one of the leading industrial cities in Morocco, it analyzed the weather and clinical data through a...

West Africa has a harmonized curriculum, adopted by some anglophone and most francophone countries in the region. Algeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Morocco, South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania, and Tunisia have national curricula. In the remaining countries for which information is available and programs exist, a university-specific curriculum is...

Background: Malaria in Nigeria with the highest morbidity and mortality in children between 6 months and 5 years continues to be a disease burden. In line with the World Health Organization recommendation of diagnosis in all ages before treatment, Nigeria provided guidelines on parasite-based diagnosis.

Most governments have implemented laws and water management strategies. However, the adequate supply of the ever-increasing demand of fresh water continues to be a challenge. For example, many regions are facing formidable freshwater management challenges and resultantly allocation of limited water resources. One of the fundamental concerns is the impact of climate change and population increase on the supply and demand of fresh water in urban areas and high population surrounding villages....

The outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) not only affected health and economics, but also its effect extended to include other aspects, such as the environment. Using Egypt as a case study, this paper presents the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on air pollution levels by studying nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3), particulate matter represented in absorbing aerosol index (AAI), carbon monoxide (CO), and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The paper also highlights the impact of COVID-19...

Abstract The vicious cycle of food insecurity in Kenya and Africa at large is partly attributed to the high reliance on rainfed agriculture, which makes production systems vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change and variability. Conservation agriculture (CA) has been disseminated as a climate-smart practice that operates on three main principles to realize the multiple benefits of making crop production systems more resilient to climate change impacts, enhancing food security,...

Morocco is a semi-arid country with scarce and irregular precipitation; thus, surface water and groundwater resources are important for socioeconomic development. For this reason, aquifers are intensively exploited to satisfy growing agricultural, industrial and domestic needs. In addition to water scarcity, Morocco suffers from the degradation in groundwater quality, linked to the depletion of groundwater. In this paper, we zoom on the case of the Essaouira basin, where nitrate is one of...
