Authors: Mnyawi Stephen P , Chusi Tafuteni , Baruti Mawazo H 
Published: September 2022

Purpose: This paper analyses the factors influencing the performance of an organization. The study attempted to examine factors like; board size, board composition, CEO duality, Firm size, Leverage, and firm age as independent variables and Tobin Q and ROA as dependent variables.
Methodology: The study used a quantitative research approach and applied secondary data collected from annual reports. Using the ordinary least square Regression method, the study analyzed 39 non-financial firms listed at Dar Es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE) and Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) for the period from 2016 through 2020. For the data analysis computer software, STATA was used to evaluate the factors influencing listed firms’ performance.
Findings: The findings of the study revealed that the board size is positive but insignificantly correlated to return on assets. However, the board size is positive and significantly correlated to Tobin Q. The study also found out that the board structure (CEO Duality) had a significant positive impact on the performance of firms. In addition, the firm size and leverage had a significant negative impact on the performance of the firms. The study revealed that there is a significant impact in both countries as measured using both ROA and TOB. However, the correlation was negative for Tanzania and positive for Kenya.
Recommendations: The study recommended that firms must keep their board sizes within the limit of 5 to 8 but more analysis should be done to come up with an optimal size. It was also recommended that the responsibility of stock marketers to firm performance should be re-affirmed.

Published: September 2022

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine the nature of the 3PL relationship as a tool for cost reduction at Stellar Logistics Limited. It also examined the challenges affecting the effectiveness of the 3PL relationship.
Methodology: A quantitative research approach was utilised to measure and analyse the data descriptively. Structured questionnaires and interviews were conducted to elicit data from the supply chain exerts at Stellar Logistics Company Limited. Data analysis was done based on 30 cases and at the firm level in terms of a unit of analysis. 3PL relationship management is the key tool that links all members of the supply chain at Stellar Logistics.
Findings: The study proves management members of Stellar Logistics are aware effective 3PL relationship management leads to mutual trust and confidence in the company and are also aware that commitment is a key factor in creating a stable third-party relationship. Selection and evaluation are crucial in achieving valuable partnerships in the 3PL relationship process as it has the highest response rate in the company. The relationship system at Stellar Logistics requires creating a win/win for 3PL contracting parties. Improper record management makes it difficult to keep track of all shipments at the company. There is a lack of collaboration between the shippers, carriers, and the end customers of the company which affects 3PL relationship management at the company. Finally, unforeseen delays affect the delivery of goods to customers at the company.
Recommendations: Stellar Company can help resolve its 3PL relationship problems by setting clear expectations. Again, Stellar Logistics must establish single points of contact. The study also recommend that the company must measure performance in order to salvage its 3PL relationship challenges. Stellar logistics must also involve their 3PL provider in long-term planning.

Purpose: The current status of malaria prevalence in three senatorial zones of rivers state was evaluated. There have been several intervention measures aimed at reducing the health menace of malaria in Rivers State by Government, international agencies and other stakeholders. This study was undertaken to assess the current status of malaria in the three senatorial zones of Rivers State with the view to maintaining the current intervention measures or otherwise.
Methodology: A randomized block experimental design was used for this study. The research was divided into two (2) parts. The first part involved the production and distribution of self-structured questionnaire to the respondents to collect demographic information. The second part was laboratory examination which involved the screening of thick and thin blood films from participants to find the presence of the malaria parasite and calculate the prevalence. A total of 352 participants (110, 120 and 122 from Rivers West, Rivers Southeast and Rivers East senatorial districts respectively) seeking treatment at the zonal hospitals were recruited for the study. Venous blood samples were collected from the 352 participants and screened for the presence of malaria parasite using standard procedure while 352 copies of self-structured questionnaire were distributed to participants to collect data on some demographic characteristics.
Findings: Out of the 352 participants examined, 275(78.1%) were positive for the presence of malaria parasites. Of the 275 infected persons, 94.6%, 77.5% and 63.7% were from Rivers West, Rivers East and Rivers Southeast senatorial district respectively. There was no significance difference (P<0.05) in the prevalence between males (78.4%) and females (77.9%). Participants within the age range of 21-30years and 31-40years had the highest and least prevalence of 84.5% and 65.9% respectively. There was no significance difference (P<0.05) in prevalence between singles (76.6%) and married (79.2%) participants. Level of education had no significance (P<0.05) impact on the prevalence of malaria among the participants. The prevalence of malaria in participants with no formal, primary, secondary and tertiary education was 74.1%, 82.4%, 74.1% and 82.7% respectively.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practices: The study revealed that malaria is still endemic in the three senatorial districts and remains a public health concern. Deliberate efforts form government and other stakeholders is needed to improve on the present preventive measures put in place especially in the area of sanitation and health orientation.

Published: September 2022

El presente artículo cualitativo, denominado “Fronteras porosas y narcotráfico: una problemática de orden transnacional entre Perú y Colombia”, estableció como objetivo central analizar desde una perspectiva académica los mecanismos y estrategias que Colombia podría implementar para dar fin al narcotráfico en su frontera con Perú. Para ello, se desarrolla un análisis bibliométrico sobre la existencia de investigaciones científicas y académicas entorno a las fronteras porosas; se analizó el concepto de frontera desde su perspectiva clásica a la moderna para determinar los factores que transcurren en la frontera colombo-peruana en el ámbito del narcotráfico y, finalmente, se establecieron unas potenciales soluciones a la problemática a partir de estrategias sociales.
Este análisis permitió establecer, por un lado, la importancia de fortalecer las investigaciones académicas en torno a las fronteras porosas, ya que existe muy poca literatura científica sobre el tema. Por otro lado, se plantea la necesidad de resolver la lucha contra el narcotráfico, dejando el tradicional método utilizado de seguridad nacional y apoyando otras medidas sociales y económicas. Como conclusión, se recomienda invitar a la comunidad académica a generar nuevos debates sobre la problemática de investigación que permitan visibilizar y aportar a la construcción de soluciones.
Estudio de caso Mamérita Mestanza (MM) contra Perú
Authors: Ramírez Figueredo Sergio Andrés , Segovia Prieto Héctor Nicolás 
Published: September 2022

El presente artículo analiza la vulneración de Derechos Humanos por esterilizaciones forzadas desde del caso de Mamérita Mestanza, mujer indígena fallecida durante un procedimiento quirúrgico invasivo; hechos propiciados en el marco del Programa Nacional de Planificación Familiar-PNPF diseñado por la administración del exmandatario peruano Alberto Fujimori (1990-2000). El caso de Mamérita Mestanza por esterilización forzada sería expuesto y elevado por diferentes ONG ante la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos - CIDH en 1999
El objetivo de investigación pretende determinar desde el proceso jurídico entre la CIDH y el Estado peruano, el funcionamiento del amparo estructural de los Derechos y litigio estratégico como instrumentos especiales del litigio, con capacidad de ejercer medidas restaurativas de los derechos vulnerados contra las comunidades, así como en procura de transformar la arquitectura administrativa de un Estado para garantizar la no repetición de tales eventos. También se analiza la solución amistosa indicada por la CIDH al Estado peruano, para que este último conciliase con las víctimas por esterilizaciones forzadas entre 1995 y 2000
Lo anterior, si bien ha generado herramientas transformadoras en la institucionalidad peruana, como el Registro de Víctimas de Esterilizaciones Forzadas - REVIESFO, afronta retos y vacíos por cubrir en la atención de víctimas, presentándose aún dificultades conceptuales y técnicas para su identificación, pese a la paulatina mejora de dichos temas.
