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.

Background: Climate change is increasingly recognized as a fundamental driver of human displacement. Rising sea levels, prolonged droughts, intensifying cyclones, and unpredictable precipitation patterns are disrupting livelihoods and forcing communities from their homes. While migration has historically been a human adaptive strategy, the scale and compulsion associated with climate-induced displacement challenges existing humanitarian, legal, and policy frameworks.

The screwworm is an obligate parasite of mammals, and its zoonotic importance is significant because it can infest young children, the elderly, and the sick. In this study, dipteran sampling was conducted using sticky white chromatic screens arranged vertically in sheep fattening pens in the Mezquital Valley, Hidalgo. The fly captured was identified as Cochliomyia macellaria. This initial record is important because producers should implement control measures in their flocks to prevent myiasis caused by this insect.

The implementation of the Brazilian Emissions Trading System (SBCE) represents a significant milestone in the country's climate governance framework and may influence technological development in sectors subject to carbon regulation.
