RESOURCE ALLOCATION AND STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION IN COMMERCIAL BANKS BRANCHES IN MACHAKOS SUB COUNTY
Authors: Masya Mercy , Wamitu Susan , Weru Jane 
Published: October 2022

Purpose: The implementation of strategies in Commercial Banks in Kenya has been experiencing numerous challenges and only 37% of the strategies are considered to be successfully implemented. Internal constraints during strategy implementation include poor resource allocation. The objective of this study was to establish the effect of resource allocation on strategy implementation in Commercial Banks Branches in Machakos Sub County.
Methodology: Descriptive research design was used in this study. The target population of the study was 253 staff working in the top level management, middle level management and low level management in the fourteen Commercial Banks based in Machakos Sub County. Since the population of the top level management in the 14 branches is small, a census was utilized. The study adopted stratified and simple random sampling techniques in the selection of 30 per cent of staff in middle level management and low level management of each bank. The study utilized primary data, which was collected by use of questionnaires. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used in analysing the quantitative data with the help of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS version 24) statistical software. Descriptive statistics included frequencies, percentages, mean, and standard deviation. Inferential statistics included correlation and regression analysis. The results were presented in pie charts and tables.
Findings: The study found that resource allocation has a significant effect on strategy implementation in Commercial Banks Branches in Machakos Sub County
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The findings of this study support the Resource Based View Theory which argues that strategic resources have the potential to deliver comparative advantage to a firm. As a regulator, the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) should come up with policies to guide the allocation and utilization of resources during strategy implementation so as to protect investors in the commercial banks in Kenya. The study recommends that the management of Commercial Banks’ Branches in Machakos Sub County should ensure timely and adequate allocation of resources in order to ensure that the set objectives are achieved within the set budget during strategy implementation.

Situasi pandemi Covid-19 yang tengah dialami seluruh warga dunia membatasi segala aktivitas dan interaksi masyarakat secara langsung, termasuk di antaranya aktivitas peradilan. Akan tetapi, dalam sistem peradilan era modern di Indonesia, terdapat e-Court yang memungkinkan aktivitas peradilan tanpa harus bertatap muka. Berangkat dari hal tersebut, penelitian ini berusaha mencari tahu bagaimana efektivitas pelaksanaan e-Court semasa pandemi Covid-19 di Pengadilan Agama Sorong. Penelitian ini termasuk penelitian hukum empiris/yuridis sosiologis dengan pendekatan sosiologi hukum. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pelaksanaan e-Court di Pengadilan Agama Sorong walaupun meningkat penggunaannya di tahun
2020 akan tetapi masih belum efektif. Pelaksanaannya hanya sebatas administrasi perkara meliputi e-Filing (pendaftaran perkara secara elektronik), e-Payment (pembayaran panjar biaya perkara elektronik) dan e-Summons (pemanggilan secara elektronik), sementara untuk e-Litigation atau persidangan secara elektronik pelaksanaannya masih sangat minim. Implikasi dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa Pengadilan Agama Sorong perlu melakukan sosialisasi secara utuh dan komprehensif terkait adanya e-Court termasuk di dalamnya e-Litigasi, menyediakan hotline bagi masyarakat yang ingin beracara dengan e-Court, merekrut SDM yang mumpuni, dan terakhir bagi Hakim Pengadilan Agama Sorong, untuk lebih membiasakan diri kepada acara persidangan secara elektronik.

Nowadays, the existence of women should not be underestimated because their presence in various fields ranging from political, economical, and social sectors shows that they play an important role in the development of a country. However, many women still experience discrimination and are seen as subordinate to men. It is an obstacle for women to empower themselves. In Sorong, the local culture tends to prioritize men. In the traditional Papuan marriage culture, a man pays a certain nominal when proposing a woman, making him think he has bought the Papuan woman so that he has the right to act arbitrarily and even resort to violence. This study aims to investigate the role of the Office of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection in improving the quality of indigenous Papuan women and the inhibiting and supporting factors in carrying out its role. The research used a descriptive qualitative method with an empirical juridical approach. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation.
The findings show that the roles of the Office of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection in improving the quality of Papuan women are divided into two stages: skill training and motivation (through socialization). The inhibiting factors include, first, the budget is often disbursed too late, so it slows down every program that has been designed, and second, societies’ participation. The supporting factors were, first, the government policy, and second, the budget.
Sensitivity of aerosol optical depth trends using long-term measurements of different sun photometers

Published: October 2022

Abstract. This work aims to assess differences in the aerosol
optical depth (AOD) trend estimations when using high-quality AOD
measurements from two different instruments with different technical
characteristics and operational (e.g. measurement frequency), calibration and
processing protocols. The different types of sun photometers are the CIMEL
that is part of AERONET (AErosol RObotic NETwork) and a precision filter
radiometer (PFR) that is part of the Global Atmosphere Watch Precision Filter
Radiometer network. The analysis operated for two wavelengths (500 and 501
and 870 and 862 nm for CIMEL–PFR) in Davos, Switzerland, for the period
2007–2019. For the synchronous AOD measurements, more than 95 % of the CIMEL–PFR AOD
differences are within the WMO-accepted limits, showing very good
measurement agreement and homogeneity in calibration and post-correction
procedures. AOD trends per decade in AOD for Davos for the 13-year period of
analysis were approximately −0.017 and −0.007 per decade for 501 and 862 nm (PFR), while the CIMEL–PFR trend differences have been found 0.0005 and
0.0003, respectively. The linear trend difference for 870 and 862 nm is larger
than the linear fit standard error. When calculating monthly AODs using all
PFR data (higher instrument frequency) and comparing them with the PFR
measurements that are synchronous with CIMEL, the trend differences are
smaller than the standard error. Linear trend differences of the CIMEL and
PFR time series presented here are not within the calculated trend
uncertainties (based on measurement uncertainty) for 870 and 862 nm. On the
contrary, PFR trends, when comparing high- and low-measurement-frequency
datasets are within such an uncertainty estimation for both wavelengths.
Finally, for time-varying trends all trend differences are well within the
calculated trend uncertainties.

Abstract. Transit time can be estimated thanks to natural tracers, but few of
them are usable in the 0–6-month range. The main purpose of this work is to
analyze the potential of the ratio of heavy- to light-weight organic
compounds (the humification index (HIX); Ohno, 2002; Zsolnay et al., 1999) as a natural tracer of
short transit time (Blondel et al., 2012). Critical analysis of former
studies shows that although the link between HIX and transit time seems
consistent, the whole methodological approach needs to be consolidated.
Natural organic matter fluorescence from 289 groundwater samples from four springs and 10 flow points located in the unsaturated zone of the Vaucluse
karst system is characterized by parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) thanks
to the excitation–emission matrix (EEM), thus (i) allowing for the identification of
main fluorescent compounds of sampled groundwater and (ii) evidencing the
inadequacy of HIX 2D emission windows to characterize groundwater organic
matter. We then propose a new humification index called the Transit Time index
(TTi) based on the Ohno (2002) formula but using PARAFAC components of heavy and
light organic matter from our samples instead of 2D windows. Finally, we
evaluate TTi relevance as a transit time tracer by (i) performing a
detailed analysis of its dynamics on a selected spring (Millet) and (ii) comparing its mean value over karst springs of the Vaucluse karst system.
Principal component analysis (PCA) of TTi and other hydrochemical parameters
monitored at Millet spring put in relief the different ranges of transit
time associated with the different organic matter compounds. PCA results
also provide evidence that TTi can detect a small proportion of fast
infiltration water within a mix, while other natural tracers of transit time
provide no or less sensitive information. TTi distributions at monitored
karst springs are consistent with relative transit times expected for the
small-scale, short average transit time systems. TTi thus appears as a
relevant qualitative tracer of transit time in the 0–6-month range where
existing tracers fail and may remain applicable, even in the case of
anthropic contamination thanks to PARAFAC modeling. Transforming it into
quantitative information is a challenging task which may be possible thanks
to intensive studies of organic matter degradation kinetics in natural
waters with the help of radiogenic isotope usage or an artificial tracer test.

Care of the Self and the Ethos of Leadership in Times of Pandemic and Crisis
Authors: Bustamante Christian Bryan 
Published: October 2022

Foucault’s notion of the “care of the self ” is essential in preparing leaders for crisis situations. Crisis situations are characterized by insecurity, uncertainty, and disruption. Hence, it demands for leadership who will provide direction, inspiration, hope, and solution. Leaders must be prepared in encountering crisis situation as well as in the effective performance of crisis leadership tasks. Leadership preparation for crisis situation need not only scientific and technical know-how but also the development of one’s character, values, and moral conviction. Leaders must be guided by rational discourse, convictions, principles, and truth. Their actions and decisions must be consistent with truth, beliefs, values, and convictions.
