Land Use Land Cover Changes and their Effects on Food Security
Authors: Martin Kiio Musa  , Patroba Achola Odera  
Published: April 2024

In the last four decades the emergence of new technologies and effects of rapid population growth around the globe have necessitated a tremendous shift by managers and planners on how to tackle land use and land cover (LULC) changes. Geospatial technologies have been used extensively in many areas of the world for generating valuable information on the forest cover, vegetation type, land use change detection and general environmental monitoring. Kiambu County is one of the most affected counties in Kenya by LULC changes due to its proximity to the capital city (Nairobi), good climate, fertile soils and improved infrastructure. This paper analyses the effects of LULC change on food security in Kiambu County and determines the main drivers of LULC changes using geospatial technologies. Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) and Enhanced Thematic Mapper plus (ETM+) satellite images together with other data-sets were used.Â Satellite images for the years; 1984, 1993, 2002 and 2013 were applied in the time-series analysis of LULC. Digital image analysis was carried out through supervised classification using ERDAS Imagine 2011 by defining the training sites on the respective images. The classes mapped were agricultural land, forests, built-area/urban, water body, wet land, grassland and bare land/rock area. The overall accuracy was in the range of 89.70% to 90.71%. The results obtained showed that Agricultural land reduced over the whole period of study from 39.69% to 15.75% which is an indication that the County is food insecure considering that the population also grew at similar rates. It is also evident that the built-area/urban increased tremendously over the same period, from 1.88% to 33.50%, showing high demand for houses. A decrease in grassland, Forest, water body and Bare-land/Rocky areas was also observed. The application of geospatial technologies to analyze LULC and related effects was clearly demonstrated.

Published: April 2024

Human resource management is the strategic approach to the management of an organizations most vital asset, the people who contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the organization. Employee incentives constitute some of the high performance work practices used by organizations to improve knowledge, skills, and abilities of current and potential employees, increase motivation and enhance retention of quality employees. Kabarak University has a number of employee incentives in place. However, there is scanty empirical study, to determine the influence of these incentives on employee performance. The study examined the relationship between specific employee incentives to employee performance in private Universities in Kenya. The study population was all the employees of Kabarak University, selected as respondents; thereby a census study was carried out .The study involved use of structured questionnaire to collect the data. Secondary data was extracted from the department of Human resource. The analysis of the collected data was done by use of Mann Whitney U test, factor analysis and Chi-square, and presented using descriptive statistics in frequency tables and charts. Financial and nonfinancial incentives are applied to a great extent to motivate the employees. Financial incentives that are perceived to have significant influence on employee motivation include: salary, insurance financing, retirement benefits, performance based rewards, holiday, overtime pay, and loan entitlement. Among the non-financial incentives with significant influence on performance were: creativity at work, organizational goals, challenging tasks, opportunity for personal development, autonomy and responsibility, teamwork, job security, professionally stimulating environment, opportunity to set performance goals, predictable work life,Â opportunity to lead, training and development and flexible policies. Recommendations include; the need for top management of organizations to design effective incentive schemes that comprise a mix of financial and non-financial incentives, with non-financial incentives being key, supplemented by financial incentives. The findings are vital for policy makers in human capital intensive organizations such as universities.

Published: April 2024

This paper interrogates possibilities of Africanizing music in the classroom against the backdrop of modernity, innovations and challenges that come with globalization and modern technology. The major questions that the paper attempts to answer are: why is it necessary to Africanise the music classroom in Kenya today? What are the major challenges in Africanising music in the classroom? What are the innovative possibilities that are likely to emerge in the process of Africanising music in the classroom in view of the effect of modernity on African cultural arts such as music?Â Basically, the scope of the paper is limited to classroom instruction with regard to creativity in the process of music making by employing elements of music in the context of African music philosophy, theory and practice. However, where applicable, examples from the Western music making perspectives are referred to. Theoretically, the paper is underpinned by the three domains of learning in Bloom's Taxonomy; namely:Â Cognitive, Psychomotor and Affective as expounded by Benjamin Bloom (1948). The study adopts a qualitative approach with a survey design. Data was collected from purposively sampled informants â€“mainly music lecturers from selected Kenyan universities. The collected data was analysed and interpreted with a focus on answering the earlier raised study questions. Finally, conclusions and ways forwardÂ outlined.

Published: April 2024

Mechanical engineering education plays a very important role in providing students with the knowledge and skills to become competent professionals in the industrialised world. This learning process involves the integration of theoretical knowledge and practical skills, and the demonstration method naturally helps to combine both aspects. The demonstration method has proved to be a promising approach to improving students' understanding and practical skills in the subject of milling machining techniques. This study aims to improve the understanding and practical skills of Mechanical Engineering Class XI students at SMK Negeri 5 Padang through the application of the demonstration method. Using a quasi-experimental research design, the results showed that the use of the demonstration method significantly improved students' understanding and skills. The evaluation by a team of validators also showed that the method was valid in terms of materials, methods and instruments. There was a difference and an increase in scores between the control class and the experimental class. In the written comprehension test, the control class scored an average of 65, while the experimental class scored an average of 80.62. In the practical skills test using the evaluation sheet, the control class achieved an average of 48.87, while the experimental class achieved an average of 74.78. This indicates a positive influence and change in the students' understanding and practical skills after implementing the demonstration method.
Leaning Into the Liminal: A Guide for Counselors and Companions (2024). Edited by Timothy L. Carson. ⁠The Liminality Press. ISBN: ‏9798989164004
Authors: Thāniyā Reid Willa 
Published: April 2024

Liminality is a concept that straddles various domains of thought and practice. In the context of human suffering the concept has much to offer clinical practitioners who work with clients undergoing significant life changes. In Leaning Into the Liminal: A Guide for Counselors and Companions (2024a), editor Dr. Timothy L. Carson facilitates a range of voices exploring the meanings and uses of liminality. Carson is a pastor who completed his doctoral research on liminality and now heads the Liminality Project at the University of Missouri. The concept of liminality is treated in the text as a description of how people move through the disorientating passage from what is known, through unknowing, and into the new. Individuals traverse such passages when they experience key changes in life. Protocols for supporting this movement are a valuable part of the discussions in this book. The book is organised into sections dealing with liminality in clinical practice, recovery from war (including in Ukraine), spiritual direction, and dying. This exploration will be helpful to counsellors, psychotherapists, and practitioners who are unfamiliar with this liminal perspective on human experience. Some of the contributions to the book are tender and intimate in a way that supports a deepening engagement with these essential life transitions.

Authors: Ismael Shameeran Salman , Mustafa Sherzad Ibrahim , Anwar Kawa Bassim 
Published: April 2024

The parasite Echinococcus granulosus is the cause of unilocular hydatid disease, which is a serious health risk to people and domestic animals worldwide. Livestock with hydatid disease suffers substantial financial losses due to the slaughterhouse's disapproval of the diseased animal parts, productivity losses (such as lowered live weight gain, milk yield, reproductive rates, and hide and skin value), and expenses related to caring for both humans and animals. Because of the parasite's complex life cycle and the difficulties associated with traditional treatment techniques, new strategies are needed to handle this crippling illness more successfully. In the treatment of hydatid illness, nanomedicine and nanoparticles have shown great promise, providing new approaches to medication distribution, focused therapy, diagnosis, and control measures. The possible roles and applications of nanomedicine and nanoparticles in treating hydatid illness in domestic animals are reviewed in this article. Owing to their distinct physicochemical characteristics at the nanoscale, nanoparticles enable tailored medication administration, enhancing anthelmintic agent potency while reducing systemic side effects. Therapeutic drugs like praziquantel or albendazole can be encapsulated in these nanoparticles, allowing for improved permeability and retention at the location of the parasite cysts. Additionally, imaging agents and diagnostic instruments at the nanoscale enable.
Additionally, nanotechnology offers avenues for developing innovative control measures, including environmental disinfection and targeted delivery of parasiticides. Collaborative efforts between researchers, veterinarians, and experts in nanotechnology are crucial to harnessing the full potential of nanoparticles and nanomedicine in effectively managing the infection in domestic animals.

Marriage counseling or what is commonly called marriage counseling is an effort to help the prospective bride and groom. Marriage counseling is carried out by professional counselors. The goal is that they can develop and be able to solve the problems they face through ways of mutual respect, tolerance, and communication, in order to achieve family motivation, development, independence, and the welfare of all family members.
In this journal, the researcher used a qualitative phenomenological approach, where in this research the emphasis is on meaning and process rather than the results of an activity
Holiness is a state or quality of being holy. Holiness is a sign of a believer's spiritual life that must be continuously strived for, including ethical behavior. The Christian life and holiness are an inseparable unity in the believer. God's holiness has a lot to do with the people He chooses. Election/covenant is a unique expression of God's holiness. Because God is holy, God also requires His people to live holy lives (Leviticus 11:44). God shows His holiness in His actions for the salvation of the people He has chosen (Num. 20:13)
