A causal loop diagram (CLD) is a causal diagram that aids in visualizing how different variables in a system are causally interrelated. The diagram consists of a set of words and arrows. Causal loop diagrams are accompanied by a narrative which describes the causally closed situation the CLD describes. Closed loops, or causal feedback loops, in the diagram are very important features of CLDs. The words with arrows coming in and out represent variables, or quantities whose value changes over...

Machine learning presents opportunities for tracking evidence on climate change adaptation, including text-based methods from natural language processing. In theory, such tools can analyse more data in less time, using fewer resources and with less risk of bias. However, the first generation of adaptation studies have delivered only proof of concepts. Reviewing these first studies, we argue that future efforts should focus on creating more diverse datasets, investigating concrete hypotheses,...

Many low- and middle-income countries lag far behind high-income countries in educational access and student learning. Policymakers must make tough choices about which investments to make to improve education with limited resources. Although hundreds of education interventions have been rigorously evaluated, comparing their impacts is challenging. This paper provides the most recent and comprehensive review of the literature on effective education programs, with a novel emphasis on...

Abstract Climate change has already impacted the health and wellbeing of ∼5 billion people globally. However, the potential influence of climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies on mental health and wellbeing outcomes in low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs) remains insufficiently understood. We aimed to determine the effect of these strategies on mental health and wellbeing outcomes among LMIC beneficiaries. We carried out a systematic review to identify intervention and case...

Despite widespread global attention, the potential threats to human health posed by climate change in Africa still need to be further understood. Although there is mounting concern that climate change is a serious risk to human health, less evidence shows a direct causal relationship between climate change and health risks in Africa. In this rapid review, we discuss our synthesis of available evidence on the health implications of climate change with a focus on Africa. PubMed was...

We report the development of GPT-4, a large-scale, multimodal model which can accept image and text inputs and produce text outputs. While less capable than humans in many real-world scenarios, GPT-4 exhibits human-level performance on various professional and academic benchmarks, including passing a simulated bar exam with a score around the top 10% of test takers. GPT-4 is a Transformer-based model pre-trained to predict the next token in a document. The post-training alignment process...

This study examines preservice teachers’ attitude towards the use of e-portfolio in colleges of education in Oyo State. The sample population consisted of 320 preservice teachers randomly selected from the only two public colleges of education in Oyo State. The instrument used was the researcher’s self-developed questionnaire titled ‘Preservice Teachers’ Attitude Towards the Use of E-portfolio Questionnaire (PTATUEQ). Face and content validity of the research instrument were carried out by...

The dataset provided here as a link to a spreadsheet presents raw data from a global mapping exercise of 471 national digital platforms across 184 countries conducted by EdTech Hub as part of a Helpdesk request from UNICEF. The mapping exercise examined three key areas of availability, usability, and inclusivity of national digital learning platforms. Analysis from the dataset was used to generate a report on national digital learning platforms. The datasheet includes the authors’...
