Assessing attitudes toward seeking psychological professional help among adolescents: The roles of demographics and self-esteem
This study highlights that attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help among Omani adolescents are generally poor and are influenced by both demographic factors and self-esteem. Although women tend to have more positive attitudes than men do, this can change with varying levels of self-esteem. Similarly, the effect of age on these attitudes is dependent on self-esteem levels. This underscores the complex interplay between demographic…
The political economy of connectivity in the Somali Horn of Africa
This article focuses on the political economy of connectivity in the Somali Horn of Africa (HoA).

On the other, it examines the historical and political elements that have shaped a peculi…
Revenues on the hoof: Livestock trade, taxation and state-making in the Somali territories
This article considers the relationship between livestock taxation and local state formation dynamics in the northern Somali territories.

Drawing on fieldwork in Somaliland’s main livestock markets and the Berbera corridor, we highlight the…

The succe…
Prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection in Sudan: A case–control study comparing interferon-γ release assay and tuberculin skin test
IFN-γ release assay (IGRA) gave higher LTBI point prevalence compared to TST in HHCs and CCs. PPD gave comparable results to ESAT-6/CFP-10 ± TB7.7 antigens in whole blood IFN-γ release, making it a cheap alternative to the recombinant antigens
