It is based on analysis of data collected from 734 randomly selected farm householdheads substantiated with Focus Group Discussions and field observations. Methods: The study employed descriptive methods to assess farmers’ perception of climate change, localindicators of c...

Diverse methods have been applied to understand why science continues to be debated within the climate policy domain. A number of studies have presented the notion of the ‘echo chamber’ to model and explain information flows across an array of social settings, finding disproportionate connections among ideologically similar political communicators. This paper builds on these findings to provide...

The effects of climate change on sea levels and coastal flooding are some of the most prevailing issues in the engineering industry today. In this study, a comprehensive procedure for detailed analysis of flooding from the sea under climate change conditions in a localized area was developed and applied. Through hydrodynamic and statistical modeling, detailed analysis of flooding from sea level...

OBJECTIVE To develop and test a parsimonious and actionable model of effective technology use (ETU). DESIGN Cross-sectional survey of primary care providers (n = 53) in a large integrated health care organization that recently implemented new medication reconciliation technology. METHODS Surveys assessed 5 technology-related perceptions (compatibility with work values, implementation climat...

This study examined the relationship between information sources and support for climate change mitigation among undergraduates at Adeleke University. A simple random sampling technique was used to survey students anonymously. Data analysis involved descriptive inferential statistics. Results showed that a majority of 688 participants expressed actions, such as reducing fossil fuel usage, plant...
