Background: The contraceptives usage among pupils remains a topical issue globally, regionally and locally. Zambia is underpinned by Christian principles and values and despite that, the country continues to record high levels of unplanned pregnancies among pupils and this hampers the education of a girl child. The study has established that most pupils are sexually active and this puts them at a higher risk of getting unplanned pregnancies and consequently dropping out of School. Objective:...

The current study uses a pseudo-longitudinal design to investigate the trajectory of three lower-order dimensions of Foreign Language Enjoyment (FLE): FLE Teacher, FLE Personal and FLE Social (Botes et al., 2021) as well as 11 items/scales reflecting attitudes and motivation in the mini- Attitudes/Motivation Test Battery (Tennant & Gardner, 2004) of 85 Beginner, 322 Intermediate and 95 Advanced Moroccan English Foreign Language learners. Data were collected through an online questionnaire....

Despite the importance of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), there is a lack of emphasis on integrating ESD principles into the learning/physical environment, particularly in early childhood education. Underutilized school grounds and limited outdoor learning opportunities, uninvolved school stakeholders and community hinder the realization of the full transformative potential of education and disconnect learners from real-world experiences. Thus, this study explores how to...

The Paris climate agreement, one of the most promising global agreements on climate change, aims to limit global warming to 2.0 °C by 2100, with an even more ambitious goal of limiting it to 1.5 °C above preindustrial levels. Achieving these goals would result in the least severe impacts of climate change. This study assessed the future exposure of the Egyptian population to various drought events. An ensemble of Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) models, aligned with the...

Background: Low/middle-income countries have the highest burden of blindeness and visual impairment, which directly affects the children and indirectly affects their community. Furthermore, the number of blind years suffered by children with low vision or blindness creates a self-perpetuating ripple effect on their development, health and the socio-economic development of their communities. This systematic review aims to interrogate the existing evidence on the prevalence and causes of...

In the recent past, many studies have been conducted to elucidate the determinants affecting cloud computing adoption at different institutional levels. The study aims to identify how technological, organizational, environmental, and socio-culture factors influence the adoption of cloud edge technologies. The proposed theoretical framework is based on the main determinants of the TOE theory and extends it by incorporating a socio-cultural predictor. Eighteen core manifests were extracted...

The Osun River serves as a source of drinking and domestic water for some communities in Osun State Nigeria, in addition to providing a source of “healing water” for the worshippers of the Osun goddess. The sacred river has earned the status of a UNESCO world heritage centre for the worldwide attention it receives, as a result of the yearly Osun-Oshogbo worship festival. In this study, an initial investigation of microplastic pollution of the river water, sediments and fish species was...

Land use planning and climate change adaptation are critical for ensuring sustainable development and resilience in river-dependent communities in Nigeria. This study examines land use planning and climate adaptation in river-dependent communities in the Lower Niger River region of Nigeria. The research utilizes a mixed-methods approach. Data for the study were gathered from 198 households through surveys, complemented by 17 qualitative interviews and remote sensing techniques to assess land...

The present work deals with Jurassic deposits belonging to the External Rif chain. It is well known that the Jurassic time was a crucial period in the earth's history as witness of significant climate changes. This work aims to provide a preliminary reconstruction of the regional Jurassic paleoclimate of the northwest Gondwana hinterland and its global paleogeographic context. We used diverse geochemical proxies to unravel paleoclimate of the Jurassic sediments accumulated in the Atlantic...

Abstract Climate change is expected to alter many natural ecosystems around the world, by affecting plants growth and distribution. This is particularly emphasized for several Mediterranean plant species and communities. In this study, we investigate the suitable habitat and geographical distribution of a remarkable Mediterranean tree, Ceratonia siliqua L. (Leguminosae), in Morocco. We hypothesized a reduction in the carob tree suitable habitats under climate change scenarios. To this end,...
