Authors: Kariuki Joan , Wanjira Jane , Njuguna Reuben
Published: December 2024

This study sought to establish the influence of brand recognition on market leadership in the mobile money industry. The study was guided by three theoretical foundations including Patterson’s Theory of First movers, Resource-Based Theory, and Theory of Innovation Diffusion. The study was guided by the positivism philosophy. The study adopted both descriptive and explanatory survey designs.    Descriptive research design enables one to gather quantifiable information that is applicable for statistical inference through data analysis. The target population for this study comprised of 96 managers in the following departments: human resource, operations, finance and technology in the three mobile money providers. The study employed a census sampling technique because the target population was small. Data was collected using structured questionnaires and key informant interviews. The data collection instruments were pretested for validity and reliability. Content validity and construct validity were used in testing for validity of the data collection instruments whereas Cronbach's alpha was used in testing for reliability. Data from key informants was analyzed using content analysis. Descriptive statistics (frequencies, percentages and means) were used to summarize data while inferential statistics were used to test the relationships and evaluate effect of independent variables on the dependent variable. The findings are presented in Tables and Figures. The study found out that brand recognition significantly contributes to market leadership (p<0.05).  The regression analysis further showed that brand recognition explain 42.1% of the variations in market leadership in the mobile money industry in Kenya (R2=0.421). The study recommends that companies in Kenya's mobile money industry prioritize building brand recognition to strengthen their market leadership. Additionally, companies should focus on cultivating strong customer relationships, leveraging first-mover advantages, and adhering to regulatory compliance and industry standards. Finally, fostering a culture of innovation, monitoring market trends, and adopting sustainable growth strategies are crucial for maintaining long-term competitiveness and social impact within the dynamic mobile money landscape of Kenya.

Authors: Filchugova K. O. , Kibkalo D. V.
Published: December 2024

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness and impact of paravertebral myoelectric stimulation on the possibility of increasing bladder tone in neurogenic bladder atony in dogs with spinal cord injuries. Dysfunction of the bladder and lower urinary tract is one of the most common complications in traumatic and therapeutic spinal diseases in dogs. As a result of the compressive effect of the traumatic factor on the spinal cord, chain processes in the body are initiated, resulting in pathological dysfunction of the bladder and urinary tract. This pathology is called neurogenic bladder, i.e. urinary disorder, which can be caused by certain diseases of the brain, spine and nervous system. Both chemotherapeutic and physiotherapeutic methods of correction are used to treat this pathology. Bladder atony has a profound impact on the overall well-being of the animal, elevating the risk of mortality due to secondary complications in the form of bacterial cystitis, and complicating the care of such a dog, which in turn increases the demand for euthanasia of dogs with spinal cord injuries. One of the physiotherapy methods employed in the treatment of bladder atony is paravertebral percutaneous myoelectric stimulation in the L2-S-1 vertebral region. This method has been shown to produce significant results in comparison to the control group, as evidenced by the findings of a study

Published: December 2024

The increasing global energy demand drives the development of efficient and sustainable renewable energy solutions. Floating Solar PV (FSPV) technology offers a viable solution by utilizing water surfaces such as reservoir ash ponds in coal-fired power plants without requiring additional land. This study aims to analyze the technical and economic aspects of an FSPV system with a capacity of 15.2 kWp using HelioScope and Homer Pro software, assuming Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) data from the National Solar Radiation Database. The analysis methods include annual energy production, Net Present Cost (NPC), Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), and other economic metrics such as Return on Investment (ROI), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and Simple Payback Period for various grid electricity price escalation scenarios. The results show that a 5% annual increase in grid electricity prices reduces the simple payback period from 18.2 years to 13 years, with an ROI increase to 6.3% and an IRR of 7.1%. This study concludes that the FSPV system not only supports the transition to clean energy but also offers greater financial benefits under scenarios of rising grid electricity prices.

Published: December 2024

Soil stabilization is a ground improvement technique aimed at enhancing the strength and bearing capacity of soil, particularly in road construction projects. The combination of multiple stabilization materials allows for achieving better improvements in soil bearing capacity. The use of industrial waste materials offers an eco-friendly solution while repurposing materials that are typically discarded. This study focuses on the engineering application of adding limestone as a natural pozzolanic material. The research involves laboratory testing to measure the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of stabilized clay soil samples. The addition of stabilization materials is based on weight ratios, where the ratio of nickel slag to aluminum hydroxide is 1,5, and limestone is added in varying proportions of 2%, 4%, and 6%. The curing of the test specimens is carried out over periods of 3, 7, 14, and 28 days to examine the influence of curing time on the improvement of soil UCS values. The results indicate that the addition of nickel slag and aluminum hydroxide significantly enhances the soil’s UCS. Furthermore, variations in limestone content show that increasing its concentration up to 6% yields optimal results in improving soil strength. This study concludes that the combination of waste materials and limestone can effectively enhance the mechanical characteristics of soil, providing a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution for soil stabilization in various infrastructure projects.

Women Human Rights in Bangladesh: An Analysis
Authors: Mizi Dr. Mohammed Anowar Hossain
Published: December 2024

Bangladesh is a Muslim dominated country. Many of the Muslims are practicing Muslims. Islam has influence on the life of Muslims and many aspects of women human rights are influenced by Islam. Marriages, divorce, maintenance of wife, inheritance are regulated by Islamic laws. Some other aspects are regulated by secular laws. Bangladesh is signatory to many International conventions and declarations regarding women human rights. So Bangladesh women human rights are emanated from Islamic sharia laws, Bangladesh constitution, policies of the government and international declarations and conventions. In many respects women human rights in Islam and the rights emanate from secular sources are consistent with minor inconsistency where Bangladesh has made reservation. But the problem is that these rights are not observed properly. Local cultures have significant influence on the non-observance of women human rights in Bangladesh. As many of us are Muslims and we observe women human rights in Islam, it will uphold women rights in Bangladesh.

Published: December 2024

Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common bacterial infections during pregnancy, posing significant risks to maternal and perinatal health. Pregnant women are more susceptible to UTIs due to anatomical and physiological changes, including ureteral dilation and urinary stasis. Inadequate management can lead to complications such as pyelonephritis, preterm labor, and low birth weight. Understanding the risk factors and outcomes of UTIs is crucial for improving maternal and neonatal health, particularly in resource-limited settings like Bangladesh. Objective: To identify the risk factors of UTIs among pregnant women and assess their maternal and perinatal outcomes. Methodology: A case-control study was conducted at a tertiary medical college and hospital in Bangladesh from January 2022 to January 2023. Pregnant women aged 13–26 weeks with culture-positive UTIs were included as cases, and age-matched women with negative urine cultures served as controls. A total of 250 participants were enrolled. Data on socio-demographic variables, clinical symptoms, and pregnancy outcomes were collected using structured questionnaires. Statistical analyses were performed to explore associations between risk factors and UTI occurrence. Results: The prevalence of mid-trimester UTIs was 12.30%. The majority of cases (40.5%) were in the 20–30 age group. Escherichia coli (E. coli) was the most common causative organism, followed by Pseudomonas and Klebsiella. Risk factors included a history of UTI during the current pregnancy (22%) and increased sexual activity during early pregnancy (34.7%). Asymptomatic bacteriuria was the most frequent condition observed (32.3%). Maternal outcomes included a higher rate of caesarean delivery and preterm labor, while perinatal outcomes showed significantly lower birth weights in infants born to mothers with UTIs. Conclusion: UTIs in pregnancy are associated with significant maternal and perinatal risks, including preterm labor and low birth weight. Routine screening and early intervention can reduce complications. Efforts to improve awareness, prenatal care, and access to healthcare are essential for addressing UTIs in pregnant women, particularly in resource-limited settings.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis urgensi pengaturan penundaan pemilihan umum dalam Konstitusi Indonesia serta membandingkannya dengan pengaturan serupa dalam Konstitusi Turki. Permasalahan yang diangkat meliputi pentingnya pengaturan penundaan pemilu, analisis perbandingan antara Indonesia dan Turki, serta mekanisme dan persyaratan yang diperlukan untuk diimplementasikan dalam Konstitusi Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perbandingan hukum (comparative law) yang mengkaji persamaan dan perbedaan unsur dari kedua sistem hukum untuk memberikan preskripsi normatif. Data diperoleh dari bahan hukum primer, seperti undang-undang terkait pemilu, dan bahan hukum sekunder berupa literatur akademik dan penelitian hukum. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Konstitusi Indonesia belum mengatur secara eksplisit mekanisme penundaan pemilu dalam situasi darurat, seperti bencana alam besar, perang, atau pandemi, yang dapat mengakibatkan kekosongan jabatan negara. Sebaliknya, Turki telah memiliki pengaturan yang memberikan kepastian hukum dalam kondisi serupa. Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa pengaturan penundaan pemilu dalam Konstitusi Indonesia sangat penting untuk memastikan kelangsungan pemerintahan dan menghindari potensi kesewenang-wenangan. Mekanisme ini harus disertai persyaratan ketat, seperti adanya keputusan bersama antara lembaga legislatif dan eksekutif serta pengawasan yudisial, guna menjamin akuntabilitas dan mencegah penyalahgunaan kekuasaan. Implikasi penelitian ini adalah memberikan rekomendasi bagi pembuat kebijakan untuk memperbaiki Konstitusi Indonesia, memastikan adanya landasan hukum yang kuat dalam menghadapi situasi darurat, sekaligus menjaga prinsip demokrasi dan supremasi hukum.

This study aims to analyze the preferences of homemakers when choosing the type of melon gas cylinder using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. The problem addressed is determining the factors that most influence homemakers' decisions in choosing between subsidized and non-subsidized gas. This research employs a quantitative method with AHP to analyze homemakers' preferences when selecting melon gas cylinders. AHP breaks down complex problems into a simple hierarchical structure, facilitating priority determination. The study involves homemakers chosen through purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires covering relevant criteria and sub-criteria, using a Likert scale to measure the importance of each criterion. The research results based on dynamic sensitivity analysis show that price is the most important factor, followed by ease of use. This study provides a clear picture of the relative weights of various criteria and alternatives when choosing melon gas cylinders. The study's conclusion indicates that homemakers prefer subsidized gas over non-subsidized gas.

The success of a business enterprise cannot be separated from the role of employees. Employee welfare needs to be maintained to achieve company goals, namely the quality of the work of the employees themselves. The reason for conducting this study is to find out how compensation, work stress, and motivation have an impact on the performance of employees of PT Bintang Karya Laut Rembang. This study involved 194 employees of PT Bintang Karya Laut Rembang. The sample selection technique used proportional random sampling. This study activity used 70 respondents as samples, which were obtained using the Slovin formula. Data analysis was performed with multiple linear regression analysis. From this study, it was found that the compensation variable had a partial positive effect on the performance of employees of PT Bintang Karya Laut Rembang, the work motivation variable had a partial positive effect, and the work stress variable had a partial negative effect. Findings from the determination test show that compensation, work motivation, and work stress variables can contribute 83.5% of employee performance, while the remaining 16.5% is a factor not analyzed in this study.

Goal. To establish the peculiarities of infection of seeds and seedlings of cereals, legumes, oilseeds and cereals by a complex of FSSC species, to determine the factors influencing the spread of the pathogen.
Methods. Laboratory methods: germination of crop seeds in different soil samples and study of seedling development; identification of fungal species that formed mycelium layers during seed germination; analysis of soil mycobiota; determination of drug efficacy.
Results. In 2023—2024, the seeds of winter wheat, spring barley, winter rye, corn, sunflower, soybeans, beans, peas, millet, and buckwheat were studied for FSSC infection during germination in soil. Seeds were germinated in soils from different regions of Ukraine. The main symptoms of infection with the fungi of the F. solani species complex were studied. FSSC were isolated into pure culture to study their cultural and morphological characteristics. In order to find control of these phytopathogens, the factors influencing their spread were investigated: soil samples, precursor, crop genotype, seed treatment, and the use of various types of explosives.
Conclusions. FSSCs cause the formation of fluffy white-pink mycelium layers and are often the reason why seeds do not germinate in the soil and necrosis forms on the seedlings. Differences in the color of colonies and sporulation structure were found when fungi were isolated from ungerminated seeds of different crops. The number of FSSC species was significantly influenced by the soil sample, precursor, crop genotype, seed treatment, and the effects of various weapons. The largest number of fungi was found during germination of rye seeds in sandy loam soil of Kyiv region, which explained the lowest germination rate of seeds in the compared soil samples. The study of soybean seed germination in soils from Poltava region revealed the best predecessor for this crop — corn, which proved to be the most resistant to the development of the F. solani species complex. It was shown that the bean variety Nautica was almost five times more resistant to FSSC than T9905. The efficiency of using a mixture of preparations (Merivon® Pro, KS; 0.3—0.4 l/t; Ekovital and Vitazim; 1 l/t) against Fusarium bacterial infection of soybean seeds was 46.3%. The consequences of the use of explosive weapons led to quantitative and qualitative changes in the mycobiota of the studied samples of chernozems from Sumy and Kharkiv regions.
The influence of sowing rates on winter barley infection by Pyrenophora teres Drechsler under conditions of Steppe of Ukraine
Authors: Tіtov I.
Published: December 2024

Goal. To determine the optimal seeding rates of winter barley to reduce the development of reticular helminthosporiosis (Pyrenophora teres Drechsler).
Methods. Observations of crops of zoned winter barley varieties were carried out during the period from germination to milky-wax ripeness. The development of plant damage by the pathogen was determined on a six-point scale, taking into account the percentage of the affected leaf area. The basis of the methodological research is: empirical (field sampling, measurement of the object of study), theoretical (hypothesis formulation and conclusions based on the results of research), mathematical.
Results. The damage to plants by the pathogen Pyrenophora teres Drechsler depended on the seeding rate. It was found that with an increase in sowing density, the degree of disease development increases. During the years of research, the development of the disease when sowing winter barley with 5.5 million seeds/ha was 3.0% higher compared to the norm of 4.5 million seeds/ ha and 1.2% higher than at the norm of 3.5 million. The grain yield was 0.18 t/ha less than the norm of 4.5 million seeds/ha and 0.14 t/ha less than the norm of 3.5 million seeds/ha. It was proved that a decrease in the seeding rate led to a decrease in the weight of 1000 grains by an average of 0.6 g. At the same time, there was a decrease in yield by 0.22 t/ha compared to sowing 4.5 million seeds/ ha.
Conclusions. It was found that the optimal seeding rate for winter barley in Odesa region is 4.5 million seeds per 1 ha. At reduced and increased seeding rates, the damage to plants by the pathogen Pyrenophora teres Drechsler increases by 1.9—3.1%, respectively. Such sowings lead to a decrease in grain yield by 0.22—0.30 t/ ha compared to the sown areas where 4.5 million/ha of grains were sown.
