This research study aimed to explore the influence of the Ottoman Empire on the architecture of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem between the years 1517 and 1840 AD. The Ottoman Empire's architectural influence in Jerusalem, particularly on the Mount of Olives, is examined, considering the blend of Byzantine, Seljuk, and Islamic Mamluk traditions that shaped Ottoman architectural styles. The research problem centered on the examination of the Ottoman Empire's impact on the architecture of the Mount of Olives, considering the historical, cultural, and religious significance of the location. It also addresses the influence of Ottoman rulers, such as Sultan Sulaiman al-Qanuni, who contributed to the preservation and development of Jerusalem's architectural heritage. The researcher employed a qualitative research approach where data was gathered from various secondary sources. The research findings indicated that Although the Ottoman architecture on the Mount of Olives is quite modest compared to Ottoman buildings, it fulfills an important function in holding the important Christian buildings and and two Sufi strongholds, Al-Asadiyya and Al-Mansooriya, which were visited by many believers. The buildings seen in the landscape of an ancient city and its surroundings were a demonstration of a strategic presence for the Ottomans. Our research on the Mount of Olives reflects the Ottoman Golden Age of the 17th-16th centuries AD when the Sultans conquered large parts of Europe and realized the ambition of the Muslims with a hermetic hold on the Mount of Olives, the ritual place among the most admired by Christians and especially the site of the Church of the Ascension, all nations claimed a hold in it and to this day it is considered one of the assets of the Muslim territory. The Ottomans employed various strategies to prove their dominance on the Mount of Olives, they took Christian religious sites and added the Muslim identity to them, they built new buildings and constructed many small memorial domes
Knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) for an antenatal check-up during pregnancy is a key indicator of a healthcare facility in a community. Antenatal care (ANC) is a useful practice for lowering infant and maternal mortality. Therefore, the present study was planned to estimate knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding (ANC) among pregnant women and determine its association with sociodemographic factors. This hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 406 pregnant women through convenience sampling from March 2022 to February 2024. A semi-structured questionnaire included sociodemographic and obstetrical history, and scored questionnaire on (KAP) was used. The analysis included parametric, nonparametric, and Pearson correlation coefficient tests. The finding of the study revealed that pregnant women had average knowledge (96%), positive attitudes (98.75%), and good practices (58.5%) toward (ANC). The level of overall knowledge had a positive correlation with the practices toward (ANC) (r = 0.18, P < 0.001). The sociodemographic association showed that age, type of family, education, and occupation had a significant association with awareness and practices about (ANC). Furthermore, the practice of (ANC) in our study area was low despite good knowledge and attitude toward (ANC). Further, exploratory studies are required and need to be planned to improve practices in prenatal care and ultimately improve their health.

ABSTRACT_x000D_ This study investigated the impact of landslides on community livelihoods in Gakenke District, Rwanda (2019–2023), with the specific objectives of: Identifying key factors contributing to landslide occurrences, Evaluating the socioeconomic consequences of landslides on community livelihoods, and Examining the relationship between landslides and community livelihoods. Employing a mixed-methods approach combining household surveys (n=400), interviews, and observations the study analyzed both quantitative and qualitative data. Key findings reveal that heavy rainfall (41.5%) and steep slopes (25.75%) are the primary environmental drivers, with a statistically significant positive correlation (r=0.186, p <0.01). Deforestation (17%), attributed to human activity (r=0.197, p<0.01), and unsustainable farming practices (9.75%) also significantly contribute to landslide occurrences. The majority of respondents (59.3%) have lived in the area for more than 10 years, while 32.8% have resided for 6-10 years, indicating long-term exposure to landslide risks and their impacts. Socioeconomic consequences include severe crop losses (39.5%) and land degradation (32.8%), disproportionately affecting the predominantly agricultural population (66.8%), most of whom are male (58.2%) and within the economically active age group (21–40 years, 50.3%). While 63% of respondents reported a perceived decrease in landslide frequency, long-term livelihood impacts persist. Satisfaction with government interventions remains mixed, despite high awareness of resilience programs (91%). Correlation analysis showed a moderate relationship between steep slopes and soil erosion susceptibility (r = 0.255), while regression analysis indicated a statistically significant but weak relationship between steep slopes and landslide impacts (R-squared = 0.056), suggesting the presence of other unmeasured contributing factors. The study recommends integrated landslide risk management, enhanced community participation, and the promotion of sustainable land-use practices. It emphasizes the importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration to ensure both immediate relief and long-term resilience-building for affected communities._x000D_ Key words: Community, Gakenke, livelihood, Landslide, and Rwanda

Abstract _x000D_ The comparison and evaluation of the Romanenko`s (RAM) temperature – water empirical reference evapotranspiration ETo model was carried out against the Penman – Monteith model for the period of 2000 – 2003. The result showed that the Romanenko`s ETo proves a significant model in the design of reference evapotranspiration in the garden city, which lies in the mangrove rainforest belt of the South South region of Nigeria. The result is also evidence for good water development in the urban city for domestic, industrial and commercial purposes for adequate urbanization planning. The implication also is that agricultural and hydrological transformations may undertake within its semi – urban neighborhood. Hence, the need for empirical models to be used for the estimation, evaluation, and performance of reference evapotranspiration predictions in semi – arid regions and regions with similar vagaries. _x000D_ _x000D_ Keywords: Romanenko`s ETo model, Penman – Monteith model, temperature – water vapour, mangrove belt, Port Harcourt.

This study investigates the influence of work discipline and organizational commitment on employee performance with job satisfaction as a mediating variable, focusing on employees of the Ministry of Villages and Development of Disadvantaged Regions (Kemendes PDTT). The research is motivated by a decline in employee performance at the Ministry, raising concerns about productivity and organizational effectiveness. Drawing on recent literature, work discipline and organizational commitment are recognized as critical determinants of performance, though findings suggest their effects may be mediated by job satisfaction. Employing a causal quantitative design with a survey method, data were collected through online questionnaires using a 5-point Likert scale from employees with more than one year of service, selected through purposive sampling. Path analysis was applied to assess causal relationships among the variables. The study contributes to understanding how organizational and psychological factors interact to shape employee performance in public institutions, highlighting the role of job satisfaction as a mediating mechanism.
