The Effect of Saving-Investment Nexus on Current Account Balance in Nigeria
Authors: Adegboyega Soliu B. , Oladeji Sunday I. 
Published: December 2022

This paper explores the impact of both long- and short-term saving-investment nexus on Nigeria’s current account balance. It examines the relationship between domestic savings, investments and current account balance by analysing the position of selected demographic variables in Nigeria, both in the short- and long-term, using the ARDL cointegration method, and a sample period from 1980 to 2018. The study tested whether there was empirical evidence supporting the life-cycle hypothesis (LCH) in Nigeria. However, the study revealed that the coefficient of error correction was negative and highly significant, as well as establishing a long-term cointegration. The study revealed a negative sign of life expectancy; and the ratio of total age dependence was found to be statistically significant, thus indicating that a unit increase in life expectancy and the ratio of total age dependence could result in a decline in current account balance in Nigeria by 1.2796 (127%) and 6.43038 (643%), respectively. This result supported the presence of the LCH theory on saving actions in Nigeria, since people could borrow. In addition, the population growth exhibited a positive relationship with current account balance. Therefore, a unit change in the population age structure is expected to influence saving, investment and current account balance; especially with an increase in population, because the current account is, by definition, equal to the saving-investment balance.

Multi-Level Analysis of Health Care Demand in Uganda: Empirical Evidence from the National Household Survey – 2016/17
Authors: Nakiyingi Stella , Mpuuga Dablin 
Published: December 2022

This study examines determinants of health-care demand in Uganda, by estimating mixed-effects logistic regressions using data from the Uganda National Household Survey (UNHS) - 2016/17. The study firstly compares the 2012/13 and 2016/17 UNHS data and finds that the demand for health care in Uganda has decreased, except for the sub-regions of Busoga, Central I, and Kigezi. Secondly, the results from a mixed-effects regression on the entire sample show that health-care demand at an individual level is associated with individual’s age, smoking habits, and non-communicable disease (NCD) status, whereas household size and poverty status determine health-care demand at the household level. Running separate models for each region to investigate regional peculiarities, the results show disparities in health-care demand among regions in Uganda. Therefore, to improve efficacy and health-care seeking behaviours of Ugandans, policies should recognize and be tailored to address individual, household as well as regional peculiarities.

La mayoría de los pacientes con cáncer de pulmón de células no pequeñas (NSCLC) progresan o recaen luego del tratamiento con taxanos-platinos. En el microambiente tumoral (TME) las cancer stem cells (CSCs), que expresan CD133, están involucradas en la recurrencia. El ácido hialurónico (HA) del TME regula, en parte, la función de las CSCs. Analizamos HA en el TME y si su modulación con la cumarina 4-Methylumbelliferona (4Mu) modifica las propiedades de las CSCs. Utilizamos líneas murinas (Lewis Lung Carcinoma; LLC) y humanas (A549) para evaluar viabilidad luego de la exposición al paclitaxel, pemetrexed o cisplatino, o combinados con 4Mu. Analizamos sintasas HAS y hialuronidasas HYAL y factores de transcripción de CSCs a partir de datos de pacientes (TCGA) y por qPCR. Aislamos células CD133+ y estudiamos la expresión de HA y la capacidad clonogénica y tumorigénica.
Observamos que los tumores de LLC producen HA, generado en parte por estas células. El 8.53 ± 0.35% de LLC son CD133+, y expresan más HA y CD44 en comparación a las CD133- (p<0,05). El análisis de TCGA mostró que HAS3 se correlaciona positivamente con los niveles de KLF4 y SOX2, pero HYAL2 se correlaciona inversamente con la expresión de SOX2. La viabilidad de las CD133+ tratadas con 4Mu+quimioterapia (Qx) y la expresión génica de HAS, CD44, CD47 y SOX2 disminuyeron significativamente (p<0.05). A partir

de estos hallazgos, sugerimos que la inhibición de HA podría aumentar la susceptibilidad de las CSCs a la Qx, mejorando su eficacia y/o previniendo la recurrencia del tumor.

An Examination of New Product Innovativeness and Performance: The Moderating role of Commercial Environment
Authors: Brazauskaite Indre , Auruskeviciene Vilte , Gerbutaviciene Rima Jurate 
Published: December 2022

The paper explores the link between new product innovativeness and performance, as well as its moderation by commercial environment in retail. It analyzes the linkage and context built on marketplace, company’s characteristics and retail category management decisions as an integral commercial environment. The research employs a unique data set - new product introductions with their actual sales results as a performance indicator. The research concludes that the innovativeness – performance link cannot be evaluated unilaterally, confirming the role of the commercial environment as a moderator of the link. The commercial environment is associated with a favorable and non-favorable economic climate that leads to performance-related opportunities or barriers in the marketplace for product innovations. Findings add value to the theoretical development of innovativeness-performance linkage studies, and also are valid pratically. It provides practical guidance to the integral understanding of commercial environment to which companies might be able to adapt during the new product launch.

Growth, yield and quality of selected sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] lam.), lines under varying soil moisture conditions
Authors: Alexander Peninah N. , Masinde Peter 
Published: December 2022

Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] has increasing potential as a food security crop in Kenya. However, its production is relatively low compared to its potential production attributed to drought conditions alongside use of local landrace cultivars that are quite low yielding. A study was conducted at Meru University in 2020-2021 to assess the performance of selected improved sweet potato lines under varied watering regimes. Two selected sweet potato varieties were used; Naspot 13 and Margarette and a farmer-preferred variety, kemb-10. The varieties were subjected to three different watering regimes (i) Continuous water deficit 30 DAE (ii) Continuous water deficit 60 DAE and (iii) well-watered to maturity. A randomized complete block design in a split plot, with water treatment as the main plot and varieties as subplot with 3 replicates was used. There was no significant interaction between varieties and water regimes. Watering regimes significantly (p≤0.05) affected vegetative growth and yield. Plants under continuous water deficit from 30 DAE had significantly lower vine length, number of branches and leaves. Under continuous water deficit from 60DAE, plants experienced significant reduction in vine length, number of leaves and branches compared to control plants. However, this reduction was less compared to 30DAE. Margerete had significantly lower vine length, number of branches and leaves (41.01% 11.2% and 44.3%) respectively. Kemb 10 had a significantly higher tuber diameter and tuber length, 101% and 91.05% respectively. The vegetative growth and yield of Naspot 3 was comparable to Kemb 10. Naspot had 89.4% increases in number of tubers. It’s concluded that varieties tested responded similarly to water deficit, with larger vegetative and yield reductions at 30DAE. Based on findings, planting earlier is recommendable for crop establishment to escape water stress whereas Naspot 13 is more suitable for the area considering its higher growth and yield.
Effects of supplementation with climate-smart feeds on camel weight gain during drought

Published: December 2022

Camels are very resilient and can survive up to 14 days without water. They can also keep producing milk when other livestock succumb during drought. This makes camel the suitable animal to harness for climate change. Currently, there are no formulated camel feeds for feeding camels during the drought when the shrubs and vegetation dries up. This has led to conflicts between camel herders and crop farmers. In the recent past as recent as this year, 2022, it has resulted to loss of human lives and camels in an alarming rate. It is estimated that during drought there is loss of at least 100 lives pa as a result of this conflict. The loss of camels due to drought is hundreds of thousands. This study aimed at formulating and processing camel feeds with locally available ingredients which can be stored to be used during drought. The study was carried out at Garemara, Isiolo. The feeds were formulated with locally available materials including acacia pods and local grass. The feeds were analysed for the crude protein content and nutrient content. The camels were supplemented at a rate of 1.5 % of the body weight. Ten camels were purchased for the study. Five camels were supplemented while the other five camel were un supplemented. The camels were weighed fortnightly to monitor weight changes. The formulated camel feed has a crude protein of 17%. The camels supplemented with climate-smart feed increased the weight at a rate of 15% while those unsupplemented increased the weight at 10%. Climate smart feeds can be formulated and used to supplement camel feeds during drought and avert loss of camels and human conflicts.
Managerial networking and competitive advantage: the moderating influence of competitive intensity

Published: December 2022

Because economic action is embedded in networks of inter-personal relations, many scholars have highlighted the importance of social ties in resource exchange for competitive advantage. Thus, through their networking activities and personal interactions, firm executives build social ties not only with business players but also with political entities. Conversely, at the centre of every industry’s environment is the concept of competitive intensity defined by Barnett (1997) as the “effect that an organization has on other’s survival, regardless of tactics involved”. Taking into consideration that managerial networking is widely viewed as far more common, relevant and effective in emerging markets such as Kenya, and further noting that market turbulences in Kenya are generally attributed to competitive pressure brought about by trade liberalization, this study sought to first establish the influence of managerial networking on competitive advantage in medium and large garment companies in Kenya. Subsequently, the study sought to determine the moderating influence of competitive intensity on the managerial networking-competitive advantage relationship in the forestated companies. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted with a sample of 83 firms being drawn from a population of 170 firms. Data was collected through questionnaires where a response rate of 86.7% was attained. Descriptive analysis was undertaken to establish the characteristics of the industry in relation to levels of managerial networking, competitive intensity and competitive advantage. Inferential analysis thereafter, aided in establishing relationships between the variables. The study had hypothesised that competitive intensity negatively moderates the managerial networking - competitive advantage relationship. The findings, however showed that competitive intensity positively moderated the relationship. Consequently, this study recommends that under intense competitive pressure, firms need to identify redundant networks to abandon and strategic networks to retain and join. Further, organizations need to focus on utilizing network resources more effectively for greater ability to adapt and thrive.
