For more than fifty years, early ergonomists such as [1–4] called for the application of ergonomics in developing countries to expand its application rather than its confinement to developed countries. Indeed, ergonomists from developing countries applied ergonomics to many traditional workplaces, machines, and jobs in the field of what was [...]

Despite the call for the application of ergonomics in developing countries, the African share of ergonomic studies is modest. Date palm farming is considered one of the most important economic resources in hot and dry areas. In African countries, including Algeria, there exist millions of date palms. Date palm work [...]

There have been global concerns with the sustainability of our planet for future generations. Organizations have been paying attention to harness the potential of information and communication technology (ICT) to support the development of innovations that can address global sustainability issues. However, currently little is known about how organizations can [...]

From modern urban perspectives, indigenous housing practices are regarded as undeveloped, backward, and require improvements. They may be valid for measuring on the basis of standards alien to the communities. However, these perceptions have obfuscated the appreciation and potential adoption of holistic, culturally relevant, and traditionally tested approaches to planning [...]

The widespread of organic and inorganic pollutants in wastewater from various industries, are responsible for serious environmental problems meanwhile represent a danger for human being. Therefore, the search of cost-effective methods of wastewater treatment containing in particular heavy metals and dyes, become of great importance. Noteworthy, adsorption has proven to [...]

University campuses meets the different academic disciplines. Such campuses are microcosm of cities where it meets academic facilities like colleges, libraries, common areas, sports buildings, roads and services, residential multiple students, staff and faculty, and facilities of various services such as business services and water purification stations, electricity, sanitation and [...]

We report for the first time the electrochemical detection of Zn2+, Cd2+, Cu2+ and Hg2+ at the surface of modified glassy carbon electrodes with different amino acids. The designed sensors showed superior heavy metal ion (HMs) detection limits, which are at lower levels than the thresholds suggested by the World [...]
