Successful Transition to Secondary School in Tanzania: What Are the Barriers? [PDF]

Journal of International Development, 2017
AbstractTransition to secondary school is a problem internationally. Tanzanian students face an additional challenge as the medium of instruction changes from Kiswahili to English. An 18‐item questionnaire (N = 383) and focus groups (primary standard 7, secondary forms 1 and 3, and primary and secondary teachers) were used in this study.

Microbial gradual shifts during the process of species replacement in Taihang Mountain

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionUnderstanding microbial gradual shifts along species replacement can help elucidate the mechanisms driving secondary succession, and predict microbial responses to changing environments. However, how climate-induced species replacement alters

Phylogenetic structure and diversity among herpetofaunal communities along a successional gradient of a tropical dry forest in Mexico

Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2022
The tropical dry forest (TDF) is one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on earth, but also one of the most threatened. Therefore, it is critical to understand the processes that control community assembly and generate diversity during succession.

Multitrophic energy flux in soil micro-food webs: the primacy of functional diversity across primary and secondary forest succession

Geoderma
Forest restoration is a cornerstone strategy for combating global biodiversity loss and restoring degraded ecosystem functions. Energy fluxes within ecological communities serve as the link between multitrophic biodiversity and ecosystem functioning ...

Temporal analysis of butterfly diversity in a succession gradient in a fragmented tropical landscape of Mexico

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
We analyze changes in the diversity of butterflies under a scheme of secondary succession in a fragmented landscape of the Huasteca of Hidalgo, Mexico over two seasons (rainy and dry) and four successional stages (cattle pasture, early secondary ...

Variations and influencing factors of soil organic carbon during the tropical forest succession from plantation to secondary and old–growth forest

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
IntroductionSoil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation changed with forest succession and hence impacted the SOC storage. However, the variation and underlying mechanisms about SOC during tropical forest succession are not fully understood.MethodsSoil ...

Guidelines for Pediatric Radiotherapy Simulation: A Report From the Children's Oncology Group Radiation Oncology Discipline

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric radiation therapy presents unique challenges compared to adult treatments, including those of immobilization, potential need for sedation, and the critical importance of accurate, reproducible positioning. Additionally, heightened attention to imaging doses is necessary to minimize long‐term toxicity in survivors.

High‐Altitude Open‐Pit Coal Mining has Changed the Sulfur Cycle and Ecological Network of Plant Rhizosphere Microorganisms

Ecology and Evolution
Ecological restoration of mining sites has a considerable effect on microbial community dynamics; however, its impact on sulfur cycling is unclear. This study explored the changes in functional genes related to sulfur cycling and microbial diversity ...
