- Abstract:
Modeling variable specific heat is a crucial aspect of aerospace engineering, playing a significant role in designing and analyzing high-enthalpy internal and external flows. Moreover, variable specific heat effects are becoming progressively more important with the increasing interest in hypersonic flight, where accurate temperature prediction is critical to determine chemical reaction rates and heat flux. Similarly, the influence of variable specific heat is significant in combustion, where…

- Abstract:
Highlighting the growing evidence base for caregiver-assisted HIV self-testing (HIVST), this brief notes a significant decline in new pediatric HIV infections due to improved prevention of mother-to-child transmission. However, challenges in HIV diagnosis hinder progress toward UNAIDS’ 95-95-95 targets.
While evidence suggests caregiver-assisted HIVST is a highly acceptable and accurate option to screen children, concerns remain regarding social harm. This brief cites recent studies demo…

- Abstract:
Strong reading skills are critical to success in school. However, reading performance among early grade learners in Ghana has been persistently weak. Improving reading outcomes has become a central policy goal in Ghana. The Transition-to-English Plus Activity (T2E+) was one relevant intervention effort working towards this goal. From July 2021 to March 2023, T2E+ provided children in Kindergarten to Basic 3 (B3) grade levels in 5,425 public primary schools across 16 regions in Ghana with a mu…

- Abstract:
The study assessed the quality, access, oversight and regulation, and financial sustainability of non-state urban pre-primary and primary schools in Uganda. The assessment also explored changes in financial sustainability, access, and quality of non- state schools (NSSs) following 22 months of COVID related school closures.
This is a mixed-methods study exploring contributions of non-state schools ensuring equitable access to quality basic education - in particular, it assesses the quality a…
