The Transformation of Inter-Ethnic Conflicts in Uasin Gishu in the Post-Independence Era, 1963-2020
Authors: Kiprono Chebii , Muchoki Francis , Moindi Kennedy
Published: September 2023

This study investigates the historical context of inter-ethnic conflicts in Uasin Gishu County during the post-colonial period right from 1963 when Kenya attained her independence. This study argues that European colonial land policy laid the groundwork for inter-ethnic strife. The land became heavily politicized during this period, as political elites strategically used it to mobilize their various ethnic groupings, thus stoking ethnic tensions and occasionally culminating in conflicts. The goal of this study was to examine the evolution of inter-ethnic disputes in Uasin Gishu from independence through 2020. The historical approach was used in the study, which drew on both primary and secondary data sources. Annual reports, reports from appointed commissions, interviews, court judgments, and official government statistics were the key sources of data. Furthermore, secondary sources were used in the study. It was shown that tensions in the post-independence era were created by how land distribution was carried out after independence, as well as the politicization of the issue. The immediate post-colonial government failed to properly transfer land to people and instead, the political class took advantage to incite ethnic tensions. Successive governments also failed to resolve historical land concerns, worsening ethnic tensions and resulting in violent clashes in 1992, 1997, and 2007. These conflicts generated far-reaching consequences, affecting individuals not only politically but also socially and economically; as shown in clashes between Kalenjin, the Kikuyu, Luo, Abaluhya, and Abagusii, particularly in 1992 and 2007/2008. The study concludes that all parties, both public and private, should take a holistic approach to addressing historical causes and preventing future disputes.

Customer Segmentation Using Machine Learning Model: An Application of RFM Analysis
Authors: Lewaaelhamd Israa
Published: September 2023

Machine learning (ML) encompasses a diverse array of both supervised and unsupervised techniques that facilitate prediction, classification, and anomaly detection. Among the many fields of application for such techniques, customer churn prediction is a prominent one. In order to forecast customer switching, data scientists employ a variety of demographic, social, transactional, and behavioral variables and attributes. Unfortunately, many businesses in the United Kingdom still lack the comprehensive and adaptable consumer data required to perform accurate analyses. As a result, they often rely heavily on data produced by enterprise resource planning systems, which is primarily transactional in nature. Consequently, businesses are often limited to modeling and forecasting on transactional data alone and are unlikely to invest significantly in marketing research or other customer-related sources. Businesses are often limited to performing modeling and forecasting on transactional data that are most often not based on advanced techniques like recency, frequency and monetary (RFM) and ML. So, the major objective of the current work is to provide a mix of ML and RFM analysis techniques for churn prediction using mostly transactional data. The dataset was taken from the dataset search website containing online retail datasets. Every customer's RFM scores are computed based on the available data. A churn metric that indicates whether or not the customer has made a transaction in a limited time. Through this paper, different techniques are compared. We used K-means and DBSCAN clustering. By the end of this paper, it may be inferred that the act of dividing customers into six distinct clusters is a more practical and straightforward approach.

Assessing Macroeconomic Determinants of Banks’ Efficiency in the West African Monetary Zone
Authors: Temitope Awosusi Charles , Ayemidotun Damola
Published: September 2023

Purpose: This study assesses how six selected macroeconomic variables, namely, size of the banking system, liquid liability of the system, interest rate, inflation, gross domestic product and exchange rate affect banking system efficiency in the West African Monetary Zone countries group. Spanning a twenty-nine-year period (1992 – 2020).

Methodology: the study used fixed and random effect models of panel least squares to analyze the relationship between these macroeconomic variables and bank efficiency of the countries as a group. Further, the study analyzed the country-by-country net effect of the selected macroeconomic variables on bank efficiency.

Findings: We find that when examined as a group, only the positive effect of exchange rate on bank efficiency is significant. We also find reveal that the macroeconomic variables have negative effect on bank efficiency in Gambia, Ghana and Sierra Leone while they positively affected bank efficiency in Guinea, Liberia and Nigeria. Finally, we find that interest rate and inflation have causal relationship with bank efficiency in the countries as a group.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy (Recommendations: We advocate that bankers in the WAMZ critically appraise their size, liquidity and interest rates vis-à-vis their efficiency goal. We also recommend that the governments of Gambia, Ghana and Sierra Leone formulate bank friendly policies especially with respect to interest rates and inflation variables that have causal relationship with bank

Published: September 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of cultural diplomacy as key component of economic and political diplomacy: the lessons for Nigeria using UAE as a benchmark for comparison.

Methodology: The paper used liberal theory to demonstrate the link between cultural and economic diplomacy. This being qualitative research, the paper was anchored on secondary sources, which included textbooks, journal publications, government and newspaper publications. The secondary data collected was thoroughly subjected to content analysis.

Findings: The study revealed that cultural diplomacy builds "trust" between countries. This lays the groundwork for political, economic, and military agreements. The goal is to develop durable relationships among the peoples beyond the changes in political leadership, and this is to be done via the trajectory of culture.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: this study's findings have far-reaching implications for diplomatic theory, policy formulation, and practical applications. By recognizing the power of cultural diplomacy in building trust, fostering economic growth, and preserving cultural heritage, nations and international actors can work collaboratively to create a more interconnected and harmonious global community.

Let H be a Hilbert space. A complex number is named the extended eigenvalue for an operator T ∈ B(H), if there is operator not equal zero X ∈ B(H) so that: TX = mXT and X are named as extended eigen operator for an operator T opposite to m. The goal of this work is to find extended eigenvalues and extended eigen operators for shift operators J, Ja, K, Ka such that J : I2 (ℕ) → I2 (ℕ) and K : I2 (ℕ) → I2 (ℕ) defined by:           Jen = e2n , and Ken = { (en/2 if n even) (0 if n odd), for all x ∈ l2(ℕ). Furthermore, the closeness of extended eigenvalues for all of these shift operators under multiplication has been proven.

Let R be an individual left R-module of the same type as W, with W being a ring containing one. W’s submodules N and K should be referred to as N and K, respectively that K ⊆ N ⊆ W if N/K <<_J (D_j (W)+K)/K, Then K is known as the D J-coessential submodule of Nin W as K⊆_ (Rce) N. Coessential submodule is a generalization of this idea. These submodules have certain interesting qualities, such that if a certain condition is met, the homomorphic image of D J- N has a coessential submodule called D J-coessential submodule.

Authors: Manzalini Antonio
Published: September 2023

Questo articolo descrive per la prima volta, per quanto a conoscenza dell'autore, una nuova disciplina scientifica che studia i legami tra la Coscienza e l’Epigenetica Quantistica, incrociando i temi dell’Epigenetica, della Fisica Quantistica e della Psicologia. Le principali assunzioni di questa disciplina sono: 1) la memoria di informazione quantistica ancestrale – quindi non osservabile - nel patrimonio genetico delle cellule (ad esempio, DNA, RNA, Cromatina, DNA mitocondriale… ecc); 2) la possibilità di un individuo in particolari stati di coscienza (ad esempio, stato di coscienza esteso) di percepire/ricordare questa informazione quantistica sotto forma di immagini interiori o qualia ; 3) la possibilità da parte della coscienza di elaborare questa informazione quantistica sia per le funzioni vitali sia per influenzare l’espressività genetica, senza comportare alterazioni nella sequenza del DNA. Questo articolo conclude con la congettura che questa informazione quantistica potrebbe essere immagazzinate in condensazioni di bosoni Nambu Goldstone nel DNA, nell’RNA e nella cromatina.

Published: September 2023

The aim of this article is to carry a bioethical and a limited policy analysis on the progression and aftermath of the 2017-2018 listeriosis epidemic or disaster in South Africa. This links the context of the listeriosis epidemic/disaster to the overall public health systems, disaster medicine, and ethics in South Africa, with specific focus on standards of public service and private stakeholder conduct in the country. The public service angle is unpacked in terms the policy framework relevant to ethics and public health/disaster management. In addition, the process and ethical implications of the management, as well as the role of the various stakeholders, in the 2017-2018 listeriosis epidemic/disaster in South Africa are analyzed and reflected upon. Results of the current study indicate that actions of the public health officials and biomedical scientists, who investigated the listeriosis epidemic/disaster as public servants, were executed in line with the code of conduct of the public service in South Africa. The relevant public service legislation and ethical norms of the public service in South Africa were also adhered to. A slightly different approach was discovered in the conduct of the ready-to-eat (RTE) meat producer that had owned the factory, which was identified as the source of the listeriosis epidemic/disaster. The narrative of online resources indicates that there were many negative outcomes of the 2017-2018 listeriosis epidemic/disaster in South Africa. Those were stories about negative outcomes of the epidemic that impacted individuals, who were listeriosis sufferers. Their voices and their stories’ representation provide an important resource of data on the impacts on the complex disasters on the South African population. Novel approaches are proposed to address the challenges identified along the public–private goods continuum and approaches to food production and access to sources of dietary protein in South Africa.
Mismedication as COVID-19 pandemic response of rural folks: Implications for national COVID-19 response policy of Lesotho
Authors: Dick-Sagoe Christopher , Asare-Nuamah Peter , Mokaloba Mokaloba
Published: September 2023

COVID-19’s super-spread nature, its adverse impacts, and the associated public fear and panic have resulted in the use of “dangerous” substances and medicinal herbs (mismedication), particularly in rural parts of Africa. Exploring the phenomenon of mismedication is crucial for promoting effective public health policies. This study adopted a qualitative study design and purposively selected and interviewed 50 rural folks cutting across the 10 districts of Lesotho in Southern Africa. The study’s findings show that rural folks perceive a high vulnerability to the COVID-19 virus. They also consider COVID-19 a dangerous virus and have high fear arousal of contracting the virus. It was realized that rural folks resort to unreliable sources of information on COVID-19 pandemic, such as friends and family members, social media, village members, and grandchildren. These untrustworthy sources spread a lot of misinformation about COVID-19, causing fear and panic among rural residents. To remedy the spread of the pandemic, its impact, and the underlying public fear and panic, rural dwellers have resorted to the use of unapproved medicinal plants. Trust in unapproved medicinal plants influences rural dwellers’ compliance to the standard protocols implemented to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic.

The study recommends the urgent need to intensify scientific investigation into the various medicinal plants for their efficacy, side effects, preparation, and approved dosage. Again, effective public education on the efficacy and dangers associated with the use of unapproved medications must be strengthened, particularly in rural communities through the active participation of opinion, traditional, and religious leaders.

“None of us was prepared”—Caring for vulnerable people during the heatwave in Sweden in 2018
Authors: Håkansson Maria , Durgun Özüm , Eriksson Kerstin
Published: September 2023

Climate change is increasing the risk for extreme weather events such as heatwaves, including in northern countries like Sweden, which until recent years has had limited experiences of coping with extreme heat. Based on predictions that Sweden will be more frequently exposed to heatwaves in the future, it is imperative to increase the societal resilience and adaptation measures. This paper presents a qualitative interview study involving 19 participants and their experiences of caring for vulnerable people during the heatwave in 2018. The participants represent four different organizations (working directly or indirectly with vulnerable people) in two municipalities in Sweden, including preschools, homes for the elderly, homecare services, and care homes for people with functional impairments, which were all impacted during the heatwave. This study contributes new empirical insights about the heatwave in 2018 and, in particular, similarities and differences in both experiences and adaptation measures across the four organizations. The findings show how both staff and vulnerable people suffered from the consequences of heat which increased vulnerability, how some organizations lacked enough (qualified) staff to secure routines, and that few evaluations and formal changes were done after the heatwave.

Authors: Lanier Cameron , Melton Tyler , Salwan Aaron , Jenkins Misty , Morelock Ruth , Allen Corinne , Stewart David
Published: September 2023

Objective: To describe the post-operative opioid prescribing behaviors of orthopedic and general surgeons through the use of the Integrated Behavioral Model (IBM), and subsequently the steps and logic used by providers in determining postoperative pain prescriptions.
Design: This study was a prospective, cross-sectional, cohort study utilizing qualitative methods consisting of semistructured interviews. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to categorize and identify themes to describe prescriber behavior.
Setting: All participants were from a regional health system in central Appalachia.
Patients and participants: Mixed population of orthopedic and general surgeons who completed residency training and performed nontraumatic procedures.
Main outcome measure: Categorization and identification of themes within the constructs of the IBM that described surgeon opioid prescribing.
Results: Fifteen surgeons participated in this study. Themes were identified within the context of the IBM. Attitudes by surgeons consisted of blame toward the government, a lack of personal screening of patients, and a theme of the abusing population of patients only being a small group. Norms were identified that included prescribing based on a standard prescribing set, realization of patient fear, and the idea of past mentality. Surgeons believed in their ability to prescribe responsibly and conservatively.
Conclusions: The prescribing patterns of surgeons and their keenness to assess patients for opioid abuse vary. Most surgeons did not actively participate in screening activities but rely on ancillary staff. Surgeons utilize federal and state laws to back prescribing patterns and thwart patient attempts for additional medications. Prescribers maintain a sense of self-confidence with their own knowledge and ability to taper and keep patients from becoming reliant on opioid prescribing.

Published: September 2023

The World Health Organization (WHO, 2021) classifies albinism as a hypomelanotic disorder described as a group of hereditary disorders in which melanin skin production is reduced or absent, mainly because of defects in enzymes necessary for its biosynthesis. This context can contribute to physiological changes that contribute to increasing barriers in the educational (generating school, social (promoting difficulty access to the labor market) and economic (poverty or financial dependence) field. The objective of this work was to elaborate a booklet on teaching/learning methods to be used by the teacher, to provide the student with albinism with a significant and effective learning. To this end, reference materials were used in inclusive teaching, as well as aesthetic adequacy manuals that provide accessibility to the public with low vision. A booklet accessible to the entire faculty was elaborated, with direct language and comfortable visual design. The teaching-learning process of people with disabilities is not far from regular education, so that the albino person, framed as a person with visual impairment, needs to have his space guaranteed with the promotion of the active methodologies presented, inserting them in the construction of his own knowledge, which until then is denied to them. Thus, the preparation of the booklet allowed the presentation of reliable and easy-to-be-reproduced information, so that the insertion of such content during teacher training has the potential to enable the achievement of the proposed objectives, making it important for teachers and, consequently, for students and school institutions that have students with albinism.

Influence of Statist Inter-ethnic Political Leadership Transformation in the Management of Inter-ethnic Conflicts in Bungoma County, Kenya

Published: September 2023

The study interrogates the influence of statist inter-ethnic political leadership transformation in the management of inter-ethnic conflicts in Bungoma County. In Kenya, specifically in Bungoma, the 1963 conflict in the region acquired a political and national outlook. In 1992, despite 29 years of independence, the violence was unparalleled. The specific objective of the study was to examine the effect of statist inter-ethnic political leadership integration in the management of inter-ethnic conflict in Bungoma County. The study followed a conceptual framework that was based on Lederach's Conflict Transformation and Gultang's Conflict Triangle theories. A descriptive research design was adopted. By using the Yamane 1967 formula, a sample size of 400 participants was derived from the 1375065 population. Participants were distributed randomly, purposefully, and proportionately. Questionnaires, interviews, focus group discussions (FGD), and document analysis were used to collect primary and secondary data, respectively. Microsoft Excel performed both quantitative and qualitative data analysis through thematization, corroboration, and verification. The findings were: Unlike inter-marriage (23%), culture (20%), and trade (15%), 42% of respondents concurred that elders were key in influencing inter-ethnic co-existence. However, colonisation alienated them and made them distinct in their roles. Independent statist political leadership transformation mutated from precipitating inter-ethnic inclined: corruption and greed 17%, political repression 16%, political participation in government 15%, punishment 14%, torture 13%, and demotion 12% to inter-ethnic integration of glimpses of diversity policies into political leadership. Even though peacebuilding was going on, the biggest problems that still needed to be solved were the enforcement of inter-ethnic political leadership integration policies in Bungoma County, the translation of the inter-ethnic political leadership transformation initiative into documentary and creative art, and the separation of administrative and political boundaries from ethnic boundaries.
