The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) introduced a Moodle-based eLearning platform in 2014 to support teaching and learning across selected programmes. Despite the availability of the platform, its adoption among students remained uneven across departments, raising concerns about the technological factors influencing its effective use. This study examined the technological factors associated with the adoption of eLearning among students at KMTC Nairobi Campus. Guided by a cross-sectional survey design, the study targeted students drawn from six departments.

This study aimed to determine the optimal plant density, fertiliser rate, number and timing of fertiliser applications for the Burley CSC tobacco cultivar in Dak Lak Province, Vietnam, to ensure high yield and desirable leaf quality. During the 2025–2026 growing season, the plant density and fertiliser rate experiment was arranged in a split-plot design with three plant densities (27,500, 31,000, and 34,500 plants ha⁻¹) and three fertiliser rates (190, 220, and 250 kg N ha⁻¹), with constant rates of 110 kg P₂O₅ and 300 kg K₂O ha⁻¹ and three replications.

Déclarée le 15 mai 2026 dans la province de l'Ituri, au nord-est de la République démocratique du Congo (RDC), la 17ᵉ épidémie de Maladie à Virus Ebola que connaît le pays depuis 1976 se distingue par une propagation plus rapide que toute épidémie d'Ebola antérieurement documentée, par son caractère interprovincial et transfrontalier, et par la rareté de la souche en cause, le virus Bundibugyo, pour lequel aucun vaccin ni traitement homologué n'est disponible bien que quelques cas d’essais cliniques sont en cours .

This research was driven by Nigeria’s continuing fiscal deficits, a low tax-to-GDP ratio, and volatile petroleum-dependent revenues, all of which weakened public infrastructure financing and macroeconomic stability. Accordingly, the study assessed how tax revenue affects public budget deficits in Nigeria by using time-series data covering 1981 to 2024. It adopted a quantitative longitudinal research design.

Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) hospitals in India provide care to personnel, families, and in some places nearby communities. Many of these hospitals run low surgical volume but still face major emergencies such as trauma, obstetric crises, and acute abdominal conditions. This mix puts anaesthesia services under strain.

The aim of this research is to analyse carbon emission policies in transport in India, European Union (EU) and United Kingdom (UK) and to recognise its differences in carbon emission policies in these three regions in regard to regulatory framework, policies and impacts. The transport sector continues to be a key source of global CO₂ emissions, as a direct result of the population growth of urban areas, countries' economic developments and growing energy requirements.

L’objectif de cet article est d’analyser les facteurs de la faible fiscalisation du secteur informelà Adjamé. Pour ce faire, une enquête de terrain a été réalisée à Adjamé en juillet 2024. L’étude a été réalisée dans une approche mixte comprenant l’approche qualitative et l’approche quantitative. L’approche qualitative a été réalisée auprès de 21 acteurs choisis par choix raisonné et dans les principes de la saturation des données. Elle a pris en compte les agents du service des impôts, de la mairie et des centres de gestion agréés.

Urban housing continues to present itself as a major problem in urban centres in Nigeria. This study aimed at examining challenges of land acquisition system on housing development in major cities of selected states in South-South region, Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted while questionnaire was the main instrument of data collection. The population of the study was drawn from the archive of Estate Surveyors and Valuers Registration Board of Nigeria (ESVARBON, 2022).

This study explores the integration of low-cost Internet of Things (IoT) tools in pre-service teacher education and evaluates their impact on teaching practices, self-efficacy, and reflective pedagogy. The research addresses the gap in traditional teacher training, which often lacks real-time feedback and relies heavily on delayed and subjective evaluations.

This study integrates airborne radiometric data and trace element geochemistry to delineate prospective mineralization zones within the Ikole–Itapaji Basement Complex, Southwestern Nigeria. Airborne radiometric datasets comprising potassium (K), thorium (Th), and uranium (U) channels were obtained from the Nigerian Geological Survey Agency (NGSA) and processed to generate K, Th, U, potassium deviation (KD), and ternary radiometric maps.
