Abstract Approximately 80% of adults aged 50+ report a desire to stay in their homes as long as possible, or to “age in place.” Yet, as the US aging population becomes more racially and ethnically diverse, the frameworks used to describe “aging in place” will require explicit recognition of the issues specific to racial/ethnic minorities. For example, given the intersection of historical discrimination related to race, gender, age, and lower socioeconomic status, older African American women...

Secondary schools have nowadays become more complex than ever before. This is because of the ever growing number of students and population of the staff. The school principal should possess certain qualities that would enable him to face the administrative tasks efficiently and effectively in order to achieve the school goals and objectives. This paper therefore, reviewed the Principals’ Effective Task Performance as tool for proper Education Delivery in Nigerian Secondary Schools. The tasks...

The environmental challenges posed by huge volumes of tailings and tailings dumps are often overshadowed by the economic benefits of mining. Tailings contain harmful quantities of toxic substances that can potentially pose serious health and environmental problems through air dispersion of air-dried tailings, leaching of potentially toxic chemical species, erosion and uptake by the aquatic system and bioaccumulation. The objective of this study was to determine the concentrations of...

Background: People from ethic minority groups living in the United Kingdom face inequalities when using mental health services. Young adults, particularly under the age of 25 years, are also less likely to receive mental health treatment than any other age group. These disparities in accessing and receiving treatment have been explained by a lack of cultural competence in mainstream healthcare services. Cultural values influence how people communicate their psychological distress and...

Learning difficulties encompass a wide range of learning problems including slow learning.Slow learners have mild intellectual disability and acquire skills at a slower rate compared to the normal student.Slow learners need more explanation and demonstration to grasp concepts.However, majority of teachers tend to be frustrated by the child's inability to work at the pace of classmates.The purpose of this study was to establish the relationship between teacher perception and support, and...

The Danakil depression marks a progressive change from continental rifting in Afar to seafloor spreading further north in the Red Sea. Extension and volcanism in this incipient spreading centre is localised to the ~70-km-long, 20-km-wide active Erta Ale volcanic segment. Here, we combine remote sensing and major element geochemical analysis to determine the structure and composition of three volcanoes on the Erta Ale Volcanic Segment: the Alu dome, the Dalafilla stratovolcano and the Borale...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence principals’ relationship management (RM) on the organizational commitment (OC) of secondary school teachers in county governments in Kenya as moderated by teachers’ self-efficacy. This study hypothesized that principals’ RM has no significant relationship on the teachers’ OC. Survey research design was employed to establish the relationship between principals’ RM and teachers’ OC. Simple random sampling was used to draw a sample of...

Abstract Climate change poses a significant threat to socio-economic development in Africa. Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will not be possible without fostering low-emission development and addressing the adverse impacts of climatic changes on the continent. China has emerged as a key development partner and is increasingly cooperating with African countries on climate change adaptation and mitigation. This chapter looks at the evolution of South-South cooperation on...

Smallholder farmers mostly depend on agriculture for their sustenance yet the sector is threatened by changing climate. It is essential for smallholders to adapt to reduce their vulnerability. Estimating the economic effectiveness of climate adaptation practices would enhance planning and actions among stakeholders and consequently impact policy. This study conducted an ex-ante in-depth empirical analysis of the costs and benefits of implementing five climate adaptation strategies identified...

The deep-water turbidity channel system in the Oligocene O73 sand layer in the Plutonio oilfield in Angola of west Africa has good oil and gas reservoir capability. As the well spacing is large due to operation cost, and the seismic resolution of the target layer is relatively low, identification of turbidity channel boundary was difficult. To establishes a fine model is a problem faced by the modelers. In this paper, a complete multi-point geostatistical modeling flowchart is presented for...

The nature of HIV-related Neurocognitive disorders has rapidly evolved with the widespread use of anti-retro viral treatment. The aim of this study was to estimate the pooled prevalence of cognitive impairment and its associated factors in Sub -Saharan Africa using previous studies. Databases, PubMed, Hinari, Google Scholar was used to search for potential studies. Data were extracted using MS excel and exported to STATA/MP version 16.0 for further analysis. Heterogeneity between studies was...
