Fluoride, whose levels are higher than the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended level of 1.5 mg/l, results in health issues. Therefore, fluoride contamination is a matter that calls for concern by all people and governments, especially in countries where volcanicity has been experienced. This study sought to model spatial variation, distribution, and prediction of fluoride levels in groundwater in the river Njoro catchment. This study aimed to observe the levels of fluoride and give recom...

In situ oil shale development using supercritical CO₂ is a promising method due to CO₂’s low viscosity, high heat, and mass transfer efficiency. This technique allows CO₂ to penetrate micro pores, improve heating efficiency, promote kerogen decomposition, and act as an extractant for crude oil, enhancing oil and gas recovery while being environmentally friendly. Findings indicate that CO₂ injection results in higher oil yield, while water inje...

The order Diptera and the suborder Nematocera include blood-sucking insects known as Culicidae. They are prominent either because they act as vectors for pathogenic organisms of certain species or due to the nuisance they cause. To better understand the habitat of these mosquitoes in the Souk El Arbaa region (north of Rabat), monitoring of certain physico-chemical parameters was conducted from February 2012 to September 2013. This was aimed at providing information on the optimal conditions for ...

Drought frequency has increased worldwide in recent years due to global warming, causing famine, water shortage, and economic loss. This paper aimed to assess the meteorological drought in Algeria, using two globally accepted drought indices, Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI). The SPI and SPEI at 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-month timescale were obtained to analyze the temporal variability of different drought levels. Pearson correlation ...

Starting with an intrareligious comparison between Islam and Christianity, this paper tries to discuss transreligiously. Expounding the difference between religion and Faith, I have tried to put forth a new theory set under “The Divine Brush”, to articulate God’s tradition, constantly being consistent with its earthly time, arriving to mankind through Faith; the Faith which is redefined as being other than religion, alike to the title, which religion is also not that of history. Moreover, the co...

Objective: The general objective of this research is to identify the factors associated with academic failure among students of the Higher Institute of Medical Techniques of Kinshasa (ISTM-KIN). Methods: The transversal explanatory method was used in this research, with an interview questionnaire with students enrolled in second graduates and second licenses at ISTM-KIN. Data were entered and analyzed using Stata software. Results: For this stud...

The rapid adoption of enterprise resource planning (ERP), the necessity for remote access to information systems, and the swift development of digital technologies like IoT and cloud computing have increased cyberattacks on organizations, including universities. Despite not being as heavily targeted as major industries, universities have become more vulnerable due to open ERP systems, insufficient cybersecurity investment, and limited cyber expertise. This study aimed to enhance cybersecurity in...

Authors pay article processing charges for open access journals, while readers can access articles. With the development of open access, the expenditures of article processing charges are increasing. It becomes a burden for scientists, especially in developing countries. Since it is a market competition, most publishers must charge article processing charges. However, the price of article processing charges should be reasonable. This study chooses 494 journals to analyze article processing charg...

Introduction: Type 5 cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is characterized by the combination of renal failure and heart failure secondary to an acute or chronic systemic disease. The most common situation of acute systemic involvement responsible for type 5 CRS is sepsis. The objective of our study is to determine the epidemiological, clinical, and therapeutic profile of patients with acute and chronic type 5 CRS and to identify the prognostic factors associated with type 5 CRS. ...
