Smallholder farmers in the Wondo Genet were forced to switch from long-standing, diverse traditional home gardens to monoculture khat production due to increasing population pressure-induced farmland constraints. The composition of woody species and the biomass carbon stock are thought to drop as homegardens transition from polyculture to monoculture; however there is little quantitative evidence to support this claim. This study was started to assess the effects on woody species, enset, and...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is growing and becoming a transformative technology in various fields, however its adoption in the education sector is growing to improve and revolutionize learning and teaching processes. AI in education is transforming traditional teaching methodologies by providing personalized learning paths tailored to each student’s needs and learning styles. Using data analysis and machine learning algorithms, AI can analyze student performance, identify areas of weakness,...

Abstract According to Intergovernmental panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Climate change is the weather characteristic condition such as precipitation, air temperature, humidity, wind, sunshine, cloud cover and atmospheric pressure at a specific location determined over a long period of at least 30 years. The main objective of this study was to analyse the climate trend and future projection in Guguf watershed of Southern Tigray, Ethiopia. 32 years (1987–2018) Meteorological data were collected...

This study examines the crucial grade 11 stage in Lesotho’s education system—a transitional phase that assesses learners’ eligibility for Higher Education Institutes entry. With only a small number of grade 11s meeting the entry requirements for Higher Education Institutes, the implementation of boot camps emerges as an intervention strategy to enhance grade 11s’ learning experiences to meet tertiary entry requirements. The study is guided by Self-Determination Theory to explore teachers’...

Abstract In Senegal, agriculture is an important sector underpinning the socioeconomic fabric of the populace. Notably, the agricultural production in this region exhibits heightened sensitivity to climatic perturbations, particularly droughts and heat waves. This study aims to determine the resilience of different agronomic interventions for farmers practicing mixed farming that produce both crops (i.e., groundnut ( Arachis hypogaea L.) and pearl millet ( Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.))...
