Contextualising health-disaster risk reduction pillars for under-resourced rural secondary schools in Limpopo Province, South Africa
Abstract: School communities in under-resourced rural settings face a disproportionate burden of health-related disasters, including outbreaks, water and sanitation failures, food insecurity and compound events that disrupt learning and wellbeing. Yet school based disaster risk reduction (DRR) evidence in Southern Africa is uneven with limited empirically guidance tailored to the organisational and infrastructural realities of disadvantaged schools. Drawing on the Comprehensive School Safety Framework and the World Health Organization's Health Emergency …

Veterinary Mycology: Fungal Infections in Livestock and Companion Animals
Abstract: Fungal infections represent a significant yet often underestimated challenge in veterinary medicine, affecting both livestock and companion animals. Veterinary mycology encompasses a diverse group of pathogens, including yeasts, molds, dimorphic fungi, and dermatophytes, that can cause localized or systemic diseases with substantial health, economic, and zoonotic implications. In livestock species, such as cattle, sheep, goats, poultry, pigs, horses, and camels, fungal infections manifest as dermatophytosis, mycotic mastitis, aspergillosis, keratomycosis, and …

Disease: A Major Stumbling Block in the Growth of Aquaculture
Abstract: Aquaculture plays a crucial role in ensuring food security, fostering economic development, and providing recreational opportunities worldwide. However, the intensification of aquaculture practices has led to a surge in environmental challenges, including water pollution, soil acidification, eutrophication, chemical contamination, and the spread of diseases. Among these, diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites pose significant threats to the sustainability of global aquaculture. Despite the implementation of various diagnostic methods …

A Gamified Digital Platform for Sustainable Farming Practices: Simulation, Statistical Analysis, and Water Resource Management Implications
Abstract: Sustainable farming practices play a critical role in enhancing agricultural water use efficiency, conserving limited water resources, and ensuring long-term food security under increasing environmental and climatic pressures. Despite their importance, farmer participation in conventional agricultural extension and training programs remains limited due to low engagement and a lack of sustained motivation. To address this challenge, this study proposes a gamified digital decision-support platform aimed at promoting sustainable agricultural and …
