Influence of Family Structures on Students’ Progression in Public Secondary Schools in Ndhiwa Sub-County, Homabay County, Kenya
Authors: Owuor Emmanuel , Ochieng Pamela , Kirimi Josephine 
Published: September 2023

Purpose: Students’ progression in secondary schools is important in the realization of educational objectives. However, in Ndhiwa Sub-county, students’ progression rates has been low in many public secondary schools. Many students drop out of secondary schools just a few years after enrollment. Thus, the purpose of this was to study to examine how family structures influence students’ progression in public secondary schools in Ndhiwa Sub-county, Homabay County, Kenya.
Methodology: This research adopted mixed methodology and applied concurrent triangulation research design. Target population was 1263 respondents which comprised 65 principals, 678 secondary school teachers and 520 parents’ representatives from which 305 respondents were sampled using Yamane’s Formula. Stratified sampling was applied to create five strata based on the number of zones in Ndhiwa Sub-county. From each zone, five principals and five parents’ representatives were sampled purposively. However, from each zone, simple random sampling was applied to select 51 teachers. This procedure realized a sample size of 25 principals, 25 parents’ representatives and 255 teachers. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically based on the objectives and presented in narrative forms. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequencies and percentages and inferentially using multiple linear regression model in Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS Version 23) and presented using tables.
Findings: The study established that students’ progression has been low with many students who get enrolled in Form I not able to complete their secondary education. This is attributed to large family sizes and family structures.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: As a practice, parents should plan their families and bring forth families they can comfortably take care of such that the meagre amount of financial resources available can cater for the education. As a policy, the Ministry of Health and the Division of National Family Planning should continue with their efforts to teach people on the essence of bring forth families they can manage. The study’s unique contribution is that it will reinforce an understanding of how specific aspects of each family structure influence of students’ progression in public secondary schools.
Chili Pepper as a Functional Food: Relevance to Lesotho
Authors: Sello Mamakase , Lekatsa Teboho 
Published: September 2023

Purpose: Although the use of chili peppers as functional foods in Lesotho is not well documented, their production and consumption have a rich historical background. Functional foods are those that serve as therapeutic agents in addition to nutrition. Previous research supports the many health benefits of consuming chili peppers, including their potential to mitigate the risk of cancer, cardiac arrhythmias, rheumatism, and chest colds. Nevertheless, these concepts have yet to translate into tangible alterations in policies and implementation strategies. Therefore, this review aims to identify potential topics for future research on Chili peppers, food, and therapeutic food product development; to improve the population's health and well-being
Methodology: This paper presents a literature analysis of existing data on chili peppers as functional foods, specifically emphasizing their applicability to Lesotho, a developing country.
Findings: Based on the analysis of the reviewed research, it can be inferred that those who regularly incorporate chili peppers into their diet exhibit a decreased risk of death from non-communicable diseases compared to those who do not.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The data presented in this review supports the classification of chili pepper as a functional food while also emphasizing the importance of investigating the effectiveness, safety, quality, development, and possible hazards of chili peppers, particularly in developing nations like Lesotho. The present study has great potential to provide novel global perspectives on the associations between chili peppers, non-communicable diseases (NCDs), and mortality to guide future research. Hence, future research endeavors must thoroughly examine the distinct impacts of chili peppers through more clinical studies. Moreover, the present review and further research will contribute to revising Lesotho’s dietary guidelines and advancing functional food products, such as herbal supplements derived from chili peppers.

Published: September 2023

A vivência acadêmica promove mudanças no estilo de vida dos estudantes, pois os jovens adotam alternativas práticas e rápidas para se alimentar. Objetivou-se analisar os níveis pressóricos de estudantes universitários por meio de uma revisão narrativa realizada no período de junho a julho de 2023, através de artigos científicos completos de acesso livre, publicados em português no período de 2012 a 2022. Como fonte de coleta foram utilizados os bancos de dados BVS Saúde, SciELO e Google Acadêmico com os termos Estudantes universitários, Hipertensão arterial, Níveis pressóricos. Foi possível observar que o público estudado tinha propensão a desenvolver Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica (HAS), doença que se apresenta como multifatorial, caracterizada por níveis elevados e sustentados da Pressão Arterial (PA) igual ou maior a 140/ 90 mmHg. Por se tratar de uma patologia com causas múltiplas, desde fatores modificáveis aos não modificáveis, o excesso de peso, estresse e o sedentarismo lideram a posição de variáveis contribuintes para o desencadeamento do aumento dos níveis pressóricos de estudantes universitários. Assim, confirmando a necessidade de ações de saúde para sua prevenção, uma vez que, a elevação dos níveis tensionais, futuramente refletirá em uma propensão aumentada para o desenvolvimento de HAS. Pode-se concluir que o acompanhamento de flutuações na PA serve como uma forma de rastreamento da hipertensão e pré-hipertensão, logo, a realização de atividade física, aliada com alimentação saudável, se mostra eficaz para prevenção e controle da HAS.
The Decline of Lake Victoria Ferry Services in Kenya, 1961-2012
Authors: Budi Nashon Budy , Orondo John Akumu , Okuro Samwel , Odhiambo George 
Published: September 2023

Purpose: This study examined the operations of Lake Victoria Ferry Services since the independence of the East African countries in 1961 when the management was under the East Africa Railways and Harbors (EARH) and later the Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC). At the beginning of the 20th century the British colonial government established Lake Victoria transport as an extension of railway line in the lake region in Kenya and into Uganda. Despite some challenges, lake transport demonstrated progress in its services and expansion during the colonial period. However, when the management was transferred to the independent governments of East Africa, the operations of ferries were affected by the inefficiencies which marked the beginning of its decline. This study was guided by Politics of the Belly Theory of Bayart who associates underdevelopment of Africa long after independence with corrupt practices of African leaders. The theory shows that postcolonial African leaders have personalized the state for their own and their ethnic community’s gain thereby neglecting the regions which are perceived to be opposing the ruling regime.
Methodology: A Historical Research Design was used to conduct this study. Non probability sampling methods and procedures were used to identify informants during the collection of primary data. Other primary data were gathered from Kenya National Archives and Railways Museum in Nairobi. Secondary data was collected from relevant publications and other materials.
Findings: The data obtained were analyzed using content and thematic analysis techniques. This study established that transition in management from colonial to independent East African governments, competition from road transport and disintegration of East African Community led to the decline of maritime transportation on Lake Victoria. In order to revive ferry services on the Lake, major rehabilitations on the existing ports must be done and modern ports built. In the same vein new transport vessels should be acquired. Finally, a permanent solution to the threat of water hyacinth must be pursued and regular dredging of navigational channels done regularly.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: This study suggests that, the government should promote integrated transport planning as well as developing proper regulations guiding Lake Victoria transport.

Authors: Refaat Hesham M. , Zaza Mohammed , Salem Tarek , Hassan Mohamed 
Published: September 2023

Objective: Mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL) has been recently advocated as a minimally invasive procedure for the management of renal stone. In this trial, we assessed the postoperative outcomes of chinese mini-PCNL (MPCNL) in adult patients with renal calculi less than 3 cm in diameter.
Material and methods: We performed a single-arm prospective trial that recruited adult patients with unilateral single kidney stones less than 3 cm. Patients were followed up for the assessment of postoperative complications and stone-free status.
Results: Sixty patients were included in the present study, with a mean age of 36.9 ±8.5 years and slightly male predominance (56.7%). The mean operative time was 133.7 ±29.2 minutes. None of the patients needed a nephrostomy tube or DJ tube stent. The mean hospital stay was 1.4±0.62 days. Eight patients (13.3%) showed mild perinepheric collection on the postoperative US. All patients had mild postoperative pain, with no incidence of post-operative bleeding, residual stone, sepsis, or pelvi-calyceal injury. A total of four patients (6.7%) had a postoperative fever. The incidence of postoperative urine was 13.3%.
Conclusion: Chinese Mini-PCNL is an effective minimally invasive modality for the management of renal calculi less than 3 cm, with a low rate of postoperative complications and excellent stone-free status. Mini-PCNL can be used in well-resourced centres to reduce postoperative complications and hospital stay among patients with renal calculi.

BackgroundStroke related to cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is uncommon, with untoward lethal outcomes. Systemic anticoagulation is the treatment of choice. However, some patients can be resistant to this treatment. Endovascular management with thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy can be a viable option in such cases.Material and methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the endovascular management used for CVT in 8 patients who failed to respond to standard anticoagulation therapy between December 2017 and December 2022 in our institute. Clinical profile, imaging parameters, endovascular procedure details, and outcomes in terms of angiographic findings and clinical follow-up were analysed.Results: In this period, a total of 8 patients underwent mechanical thrombectomy. The procedure was successful in all cases (8/8 = 100%), and 50% of them showed near total/complete recanalization; Perforation of the cortical veins was noted in 2 cases (~25%). Among the 8 patients, one died (1/8 = 12.5%) due to cardiac aetiology; the remaining 7 patients (87.5%) showed good clinical outcome with a modified Rankin Scale score 0 to 2.ConclusionsCatheter-directed thrombolysis with mechanical thromboaspiration is a safe and effective treatment for cerebral venous sinus thrombosis not responding to anticoagulation.

The article discusses the Measurement of Impact Assessment on the Coffee Farmer Empowerment Program in South Tapanuli. Data collection techniques were obtained from in-depth interviews, FGDs and direct observation of all relevant stakeholders. The data results are used as a unitary material together with the SROI calculation. SROI is currently the most generally accepted way of explaining the monetary value of the social, economic and health outcomes of an initiative. Social return on investment (SROI) is a framework used to measure and account for the value created by a program or series of initiatives, beyond financial value. In order to calculate the benefit to cost ratio, SROI uses monetary values to represent social, economic and health outcomes. For example, the 4:1 ratio in the SROI analysis shows that an investment of IDR 1 generates IDR 4 of social value. Based on the results of the SROI calculation, the SROI ratio reached 1: 2.29. This ratio means that every IDR 1 invested in the Iron Green House program is capable of producing a social impact of IDR 2.29. As a new initiative in the implementation of the TJSL program that departs from environmental issues, the number of these ratios is large enough to produce social impacts.
