description: Grave from west to east as before, but not more than two feet deep. It contained the bones of a child, which were scarce distinguishable. I traced its ashes, I mean the tinged sand, and could not find that they reached above three feet in length. On the right side near the place of the skull, for that was quite gone, was the small head of a dart or arrow:[1] it was of iron; but appeared to have been very thin, its whole length, strig and all (for it had not a socket), was scarce three inches. About the place of the neck we found seven small amber beads, not round, but they seem as if cut irregularly with a knife. [1] As some of the objects in iron discovered at. Gilton have entirely perished from oxidation, and as others are much decomposed, in this instance the drawings which accompany Mr. Faussett's account have been copied and introduced.- C.R.S.

description: We show that every Born Lie algebra can be obtained by the bicross product construction starting from two pseudo-Riemannian Lie algebras. We then obtain a classification of all Lie algebras up to dimension four and all six-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras admitting an integrable Born structure. Finally, we study the curvature properties of the pseudo-Riemannian metrics of the integrable Born structures obtained in our classification results.

description: Grave as the last, and about three feet deep. Black remains of a coffin: bones nearly gone: head of an hasta, on the right side of the coffin: an hemispherical umbo: four broad-headed iron studs: cylinder for the handle: two brass buckles, with open fork-like shanks [M 6056 & M 6057]: two bits of doubled brass, with a rivet through them, as if they had been fixed to some leather, perhaps to the end of some straps: the blade of a large knife, or perhaps of a short sword or dagger; it was about nine inches long, exclusive of the strig, and like that described at No. 12: the blades of two smaller knives: a pretty fair copper coin of Antoninus Pius, with the head laureated, and this legend, ANTONINVS. AVG. PIVS. P.P.; on the reverse, Mars marching, with a trophy on his left shoulder, and a spear in his right hand; and this legend, TR. POT. cos. III. s.c.: it is of the middle brass, and very common. At the feet, on the outside of the coffin, was an urn of black earth, with a very narrow neck, and capable of holding about a quart: it was so very soft and rotten that, though it had not received a stroke from a spade, it could not have been taken out whole.

description: Exceptional points (EPs) are distinct characteristics of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians that have no counterparts in Hermitian systems. In this study, we focus on EPs in continuous systems rather than discrete non-Hermitian systems, which are commonly investigated in both the experimental and theoretical studies. The non-Hermiticity of the system stems from the local imaginary potential, which can be effectively achieved through particle loss in recent quantum simulation setups. Leveraging the discrete Fourier transform, the dynamics of EPs within the low-energy sector can be well modeled by a Stark ladder system under the influence of a non-Hermitian tilted potential. To illustrate this, we systematically investigate continuous systems with finite imaginary potential wells and demonstrate the distinctive EP dynamics across different orders. Our investigation sheds light on EP behaviors, potentially catalyzing further exploration of EP phenomena across a variety of quantum simulation setups.

description: In this paper we propose MA-DV2F: Multi-Agent Dynamic Velocity Vector Field. It is a framework for simultaneously controlling a group of vehicles in challenging environments. DV2F is generated for each vehicle independently and provides a map of reference orientation and speed that a vehicle must attain at any point on the navigation grid such that it safely reaches its target. The field is dynamically updated depending on the speed and proximity of the ego-vehicle to other agents. This dynamic adaptation of the velocity vector field allows prevention of imminent collisions. Experimental results show that MA-DV2F outperforms concurrent methods in terms of safety, computational efficiency and accuracy in reaching the target when scaling to a large number of vehicles.

description: Grave as the last, and near four feet deep. Much black dust and wood coal: the remains of a very thick coffin; the bones were much more entire than any I have yet found at this place; and by the teeth (which were the only whole set I have yet met with), they seemed to have been the bones of a middle aged person. Near the neck were thirty-five small beads of glass and baked earth, of several colours: also three larger striped earthen beads, and an amethyst drop of an earring [M 6086], as it seems. Near these, but rather more toward the feet, were five or six slender rings, like those heretofore described at No. 27. They had, like those, each of them a kind of sliding knot, in order to their fitting either a larger or a smaller finger. They seemed to be of silver, but were so rotten as to break and, as it were, crumble with the least touch. With these were found a small silver fibula subnectens, set with four garnets, round an hemisphere of ivory [M 6058], as it seems: it is figured and gilded in the intervals, like those before described; and a square silver ornament, also gilded; it has in it a bird, in open work [M 6059]: I imagine it has been part of a clasp; at one corner of it is a small silver rivet. From the hips, downward, were a great many small iron links, many of them concatenated; some of these were found lying more singly, the rest of them were rusted into a lump, as at No. 27, and among them, as at that number, were six or seven, if not more, brass pins or instruments, exactly like those there described. There was also the blade of a small knife, and a small brass buckle, as in No. 10. At the feet, but not in the coffin, was a beautiful, small, roundish urn of green glass, which held about half a pint: it was, according to custom, broken to pieces by the workmen. In it, or very near it, was a small gold coin of the emperor Justinian [M 6060]. On one side is his head, very uncouthly done: he has a cross on his breast, and this legend, IVSTINIANVS. N.; on the reverse is a winged Victory, and this very unintelligible legend (at least to me), viz., TIVNTITA-VM. CONO.: I can, for my own part, make nothing else out of it, but that it was struck at Constantinople:it is very fair and weighs just twenty-two grains.[1] Certainly a woman's grave.[1] This coin is perforated, and had been used as an ornament. The presence of coins in graves such as these is always important; and especially so when they are, as in this instance, of a late date. Justinian reigned from A.D. 527 to A.D. 565; the coin must therefore decide that the interment could not possibly have been made previous to the former of these dates. But as it happens that this piece of money, although bearing the effigies of Justinian, is a barbarous imitation, and had been, apparently for some time, worn as a personal ornament, it may be considered that the interment may have been made at some considerable time subsequent to the reign of this prince.- C.R.S.

description: We studied the characteristics, regions of existence and stability of different types of solitons for a distributed model of a mode-locked laser whose dispersion is purely quartic and normal. Among the different types of solitons, we identified three main branches that are named according to their different amplitude: low, medium and high amplitude solitons. It was found that the first solitons are always unstable while the latter two exist and are stable in relatively large regions of the parameter space. Moreover, the stability regions of medium and high amplitude solitons overlap over a certain range of parameters, manifesting effects of bistability. The energy of high amplitude solitons increases quadratically with their width, whereas the energy of medium amplitude solitons may decrease or increase with the width depending on the parameter region. Furthermore, we have investigated the long term evolution of the continuous wave solutions under modulational instability, showing that medium amplitude solitons can arise in this scenario. Additionally, we assessed the effects of second and third order dispersion on medium and high amplitude solitons and found that both remain stable in the presence of these terms.

description: Increasingly, school settings are implementing digital technologies to coordinate teachers’ work. The article examines the role of these technologies in teachers’ boundary regulation processes through the lens of communication privacy management theory, and it provides empirical insight into the renegotiation of being a teacher in the presence of rules formalized in software code. The case of Finnish high school teachers exposed to the use of Wilma, a distributed computing system used to store, process, and transmit student data, revealed experiences of a need to renegotiate formalized and trackable work processes, faster and more colloquial communication, and intensified day-to-day work. These influence modes of accountability and the need to negotiate visibility, along with understandings of rules as a central coordination mechanism for interpersonal boundary regulation. The authors suggest in addition that these technologies inure various social stakeholders to constant technical monitoring and regular accounting, thereby advancing the normalization of surveillance practices. This creates good reason to pay closer attention to how rules of engagement may be coordinated.

Prestellar Cores in Turbulent Clouds: Numerical Modeling and Evolution to Collapse

description: A fundamental issue in star formation is understanding the precise mechanisms leading to the formation of prestellar cores, and their subsequent gravitationally unstable evolution. To address this question, we carefully construct a suite of turbulent, self-gravitating numerical simulations, and analyze the development and collapse of individual prestellar cores. We show that the numerical requirements for resolving the sonic scale and internal structure of anticipated cores are essentially the same in self-gravitating clouds, calling for the number of cells per dimension to increase quadratically with the cloud's Mach number. In our simulations, we follow evolution of individual cores by tracking the region around each gravitational potential minimum over time. Evolution in nascent cores is towards increasing density and decreasing turbulence, and there is a wide range of critical density for initiating collapse. At given spatial scale the turbulence level also varies widely, and tends to be correlated with density. By directly measuring the radial forces acting within cores, we identify a distinct transition to a state of gravitational runaway. We use our new theory for turbulent equilibrium spheres to predict the onset of each core's collapse. Instability is expected when the critical radius becomes smaller than the tidal radius; we find good agreement with the simulations. Interestingly, the imbalance between gravity and opposing forces is only $\sim 20\%$ during core collapse, meaning that this is a quasi-equilibrium rather than a free-fall process. For most of their evolution, cores exhibit both subsonic contraction and transonic turbulence inherited from core-building flows; supersonic radial velocities accelerated by gravity only appear near the end of the collapse.

description: Grave as the last, and full four feet deep: much black remains of a burnt coffin: bones nearly gone. Among the teeth were twenty-six small glass and earthen beads of different colours, and one large one adorned and striped with red; they appeared to have been strung upon a small wire. Near the place of the right breast, and about six inches below the beads, I found a most beautiful round fibula subnectens [M 6006]; the face of it is pure gold, very curiously wrought, and set with a great number of small garnets in zigzag order; it has also four round sockets and six square ones, out of which the stones, or whatever else was set in them, are lost; in the centre is set a round garnet, which has a hole in it, in which, I imagine, a smaller stone was set: the under part of it is copper. There was also the blade of a knife: many small iron links of a chain, as in the last number: an iron instrument, exactly like that described at No. 15, and about six inches long; and another iron instrument not unlike a small key, about three inches long; and several nail-like pieces of iron as often before. Certainly a woman's grave.

Subjects: subject: Theatre, Japan, Hiroshima, Fukushima, Nuclear Catastrophe

description: Based on the analytical framework that nuclear threats have always affected Japan after World War II, this thesis develops an alternative narrative of post-war Japanese theatre through the socio-cultural analyses of selected A-bomb (atomic bomb) and post-Fukushima plays. By shedding light on those plays, which respond to Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Fukushima; and, by juxtaposing those theatre-makers not previously associated with one another, the study introduces five types of theatre, which are products of nuclear-afflicted society.
 
Drawing from Robert J. Lifton’s contention that nuclear aftermath could be ‘invisible’, the study focuses on plays that not only report the tangible outcomes of the event, but also imagine beyond visible calamities. By adopting the interdisciplinary methodology of the Sociology of the Theatre, this thesis demonstrates how the plays in question materialised through constant dialogue with nuclear-afflicted societies. The keynote that this thesis strikes is that the languages, methodologies and aesthetics that are adopted in theatres, which respond to and represent various nuclear catastrophes, challenge the border of polar opposites such as here/there, life/death, science/ belief, rational/absurdity and present/past.

The five strands of nuclear-afflicted theatres and the set of theatre-makers introduced are: ‘The Theatre of Collective Kūki’ (air) developed by Noda Hideki; ‘The Theatre of Guilt and Self-Censorship’, introduced through works by Hotta Kiyomi, Inoue Hisashi and Okada Toshiki; ‘The Theatre of Sensate Atomisation’, which argues the political standpoints of Miyoshi Jūrō and Takayama Akira; ‘The Comedy of Post-humanism Absurdity’, that deals with the post-humanist and post-human theories of Betsuyaku Minoru and Matsui Shū; and ‘The Theatre of Nuclear Nostalgia’, in which Kitamura Sō and Fujita Takahiro present a bifocal time structure. Rather than chronologically, the study is thematically structured, through which arguments on why analytical parallels could be drawn between theatres after Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Fukushima are developed.
title: Greeks of Alexandria: Time, Place and Identity through the visual representations of a community in transition
Creators: name: Chrysocheri, Eirini
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Memory, identity, Greek diaspora

description: The thesis, based on anthropological fieldwork conducted in Alexandria (Egypt) from 2011 to 2012, focuses on the Greek Alexandrian community, a socially and territorially bounded urban diaspora entity, which through institutions, spatial arrangements and face-to-face interactions articulates a sense of connection to place through claims regarding a historically continuous socio-spatial connection to both Alexandria (and Egypt) and Greece.  

The thesis draws on notions of time and space as a framework for discussing the social dynamics of the Greek Alexandrian community in relation to the complex context of social, economic and political transformations it has experienced over the last 60 years. The aim is to explore culturally defined concepts of identity and memory among Greek Alexandrians, particularly in relation to the major social, political and economic events that followed the Egyptian revolution of 1952, causing significant social and spatial transformations within the Greek Alexandrian community. These changes altered prevailing concepts of public and private space and affected the possibilities of successful inter-generational transmission of values and identities. As perceptions and practices explored in the thesis differ, depending on community role – leaders versus members – but also on age, the concept of generation is used to examine the diverse ways in which the past, present and future are variously understood and confronted.

Changing notions of Greek Alexandrian identity are explored by focusing not only on the community’s narrative constructs but also on the visual and material objects that members of the community considered to be meaningful. A wide range of ethnographic material was examined, from narratives, texts and interviews, to visual data such as photographs, videos, films, pictures, and material elements such as urban buildings and other spatial arrangements that are recognized as being central to the community. These diverse elements are brought together in the discussion of collaboration with research participants, which resulted in an exhibition on the history of the community. The exhibition became the means through which interactions across the community’s people and places unfolded, diverse narratives and sentiments about the past, the present and the future emerged, and the area in which frictions and tensions revealed themselves.
Proof of Frankl's conjecture on cross-intersecting families

description: Two families $\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{G}$ are called cross-intersecting if for every $F\in \mathcal{F}$ and $G\in \mathcal{G}$, the intersection $F\cap G$ is non-empty. For any positive integers $n$ and $k$, let $\binom{[n]}{k}$ denote the family of all $k$-element subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. Let $t, s, k, n$ be non-negative integers with $k \geq s+1$ and $n \geq 2 k+t$. In 2016, Frankl proved that if $\mathcal{F} \subseteq\binom{[n]}{k+t}$ and $\mathcal{G} \subseteq\binom{[n]}{k}$ are cross-intersecting families, and $\mathcal{F}$ is $(t+1)$-intersecting and $|\mathcal{F}| \geq 1$, then $|\mathcal{F}|+|\mathcal{G}| \leq\binom{n}{k}-\binom{n-k-t}{k}+1$. Furthermore, Frankl conjectured that under an additional condition $\binom{[k+t+s]} {k+t}\subseteq\mathcal{F}$, the following inequality holds: $$ |\mathcal{F}|+|\mathcal{G}| \leq\binom{k+t+s}{k+t}+\binom{n}{k}-\sum_{i=0}^s\binom{k+t+s}{i}\binom{n-k-t-s}{k-i}. $$ In this paper, we prove this conjecture. The key ingredient is to establish a theorem for cross-intersecting families with a restricted universe. Moreover, we derive an analogous result for this conjecture.

description: In this study, we explore two intriguing new physics scenarios: the theory of Large Extra Dimensions (LED) and the theory of neutrino decay. We analyze the impact of LED on neutrino oscillations in the contexts of Protvino to Super-ORCA (P2SO), DUNE, and T2HK, with a particular emphasis on P2SO. In contrast, the effects of neutrino decay are examined exclusively in the context of P2SO. For the LED scenario, we find that combining data from P2SO, DUNE, and T2HK can yield tighter constraints than current bounds, but only if all oscillation parameters are measured with high precision. In the case of neutrino decay, P2SO can achieve slightly better bounds compared to ESSnuSB and MOMENT, although its bounds remain weaker than those provided by DUNE and T2HK. Regarding sensitivities to unresolved oscillation parameters, the existence of LED has a minimal impact on the determination of CP violation, mass ordering and octant. However, neutrino decay can significantly influence the sensitivities related to CP violation and octant in a non-trivial manner.

Creators: name: El Baroni, Bassam
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Agonism, Art and Democracy, Inferentialism and Dialogue, Abstraction, Scientific Realism, Pluralism, Image Theory

description: This thesis is situated at the crossroads between philosophy, political theory, and art. It proceeds from an enquiry into various philosophical discourses on ‘the real’ – in particular the Lacanian conceptualization of the real as impossible and the Guattari-Deleuze formulation of the real as artificial. It examines what these discourses engender in political theory and in the fields of art and activism. It looks at their investment in constructing ‘a people’ and seeks to understand this as an enterprise that involves images and their configuration. From this angle, the project is interested in exploring the discussion on ‘democracy and art’ and engages in advocating a shift in current positions on their relation. After critiquing Chantal Mouffe’s agonistic pluralism, it is suggested that provoking such a shift might be achieved by outlining a model similar to the way that Mouffe develops a model or ‘democratic design’. 

Mouffe’s model is structured on Lacan’s ‘impossible real’. Accordingly, this dissertation points towards a design for pluralism based on ‘a real’ grounded in Wilfrid Sellars’ conceptualization of a stereoscopic fusion between what he termed the manifest and scientific images of man-in-the-world. The project suggests that images can be sites in which such models or ‘designs’ are put into conceptual shape. Sellars’ characterization of science as being rational, not because it has foundation, but rather because it is a self-correcting venture that can put any claim into jeopardy, is drawn on as the basis for the ‘construction of a people’ established on the Sellarsian real. Furthermore, the project engages with the work of a number of post-Sellarsian thinkers to lay the grounds for an argument for ‘reasoning’ as a distinct position that can be taken up in the context of the structural reality of democracy and its relation to art. The term post-agonistics (or postagonistics) indicates this shift to reasoning and how it might contribute to the expanded field of art.

description: Efficient deployment of resource-intensive transformers on edge devices necessitates cross-stack optimization. We thus study the interrelation between structured pruning and systolic acceleration, matching the size of pruned blocks with the systolic array dimensions. In this setting, computations of pruned weight blocks can be skipped, reducing run-time and energy consumption, but potentially impacting quality of service (QoS). To evaluate the trade-offs between systolic array size and sparsity opportunities, we present a novel co-design framework that integrates algorithmic optimization, system simulation, and hardware design. Targeting speech recognition and machine translation using transformers as case study, we analyze how configuration choices across the stack affect performance metrics. Results demonstrate that structured pruning on systems featuring systolic array acceleration can effectively increase performance, while maintaining high QoS levels. Up to 44% system-wide speedups due to structured pruning and quantization were measured, with only 1.4% word error rate degradation on the standard LibriSpeech dataset.

A rare finding in Passau, south-east Bavaria, revealed a relatively large collection of these records containing precise information about workers' life, education, and employment history. All 203 pieces have in common that the record holders' last place of employment was the "Waldwerke GmbH Passau", a factory that had then been transformed into an armaments industry. All records end shortly before the downfall of Germany's war efforts. We discuss historical background of both, factory and workers' careers, and conduct first statistical analyses.

description: We systematically investigate Landau-Zener-Stückelberg-Majorana (LZSM) interference under chiral-mirror-like symmetry and propose its application to non-adiabatic topological transport of edge states. Protected by this symmetry, complete destructive interference emerges and can be characterized through occupation probability. This symmetry-protected LZSM interference enables state transitions to be achieved within remarkably short time scales. To demonstrate our mechanism, we provide two distinctive two-level systems as examples and survey them in detail. By tuning evolution speed or increasing holding time, the complete destructive interferences are observed. Furthermore, we make use of this mechanism for topological edge states of Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chain by taking them as an isolated two-level system. Through carefully designed time sequences, we construct symmetry-protected LZSM interference of topological edge states, enabling non-adiabatic topological transport. Our work unveils an alternative way to study quantum control, quantum state transfer, and quantum communication via non-adiabatic topological transport.

description: Grave as the last, and about three feet deep: no signs of a coffin: bones nearly gone: nothing but the blade of a knife. About half way down we found the sherds of a largish urn of black, coarse earth, which had been disturbed and broken, as I imagine, when this person was interred.

description: Our relationship to death is changing. The prevalence of death and dying online has created new ways of understanding those we have lost. This includes the diversification of aesthetics traditionally associated with mortality. Online environments have provided new opportunities for interacting with the dead, putting the theory of continuing bonds into practice but also creating a data boom that is an overwhelming digital legacy. The question of how we can make meaning from the things left behind will explore the entanglement of people with data, documents, traces, things, collections and archives both online and in our homes. This develops an understanding of materiality that considers the digital as a unique material, incorporating the affordances of digitality into our experiences of personal collections. It uses crafting, narrative and curation to draw these collections together, offering a plurality of experiences and aesthetics. 
 
In association with The Hospice of St Francis, this research uses co-design as a methodology for constructing three unique collaborations between the bereaved, a creative practitioner (art therapist or designer) and the collection itself. These collaborations create an emergent process for exploring the qualities of inherited things. The co-design process informs the use of materials and concepts, with the aim of creating meaningful artefacts for exhibiting. The participants are able to steer the overall direction and focus of this practice research from the first session, narrating the collection to the final construction of crafted responses. It follows through into the public exhibition where the use of language, curation and aesthetics are developed collaboratively. This research can be applied to hospices developing a creative and digital agenda, in addition to public engagement through the collaborative exhibition. It also has strong relevance to the fields of art therapy and co-design, bringing them into conversation and sharing methods.

description: The provision of affordable housing in Kenya is critical given the urbanization and immigration in towns. The study sought to assess the effectiveness of financing strategies for affordable housing units in Kenya. The independent variables under study included; the influence of home ownership savings Plan/Mortgage, public-private partnership, direct government financing and employer-assisted housing approach on the provision of affordable housing units in Kenya. The targeted population were top and middle-level management of public and private institutions involved in the provision of affordable housing including property developers, mortgage companies, National Housing Corporation, Nairobi City County and the Ministry Department of Housing and Development in Nairobi Kenya. The total target population for the study was 100 top and middle-level management employees. The sample size was 86 with the study adopting purposive and stratified random sampling. Questionnaires were used to obtain relevant data which was analysed using SPSS to obtain descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The study revealed that increased uptake of home ownership savings plans and mortgages leads to improved provision of affordable housing units. The study also noted that increased adoption of public-private partnership programs has led to an increase in the provision of affordable housing. The study also revealed that increased direct government funding towards the provision of affordable housing has enhanced the same. Finally, the study noted that increased participation of employers in the employer-assisted housing approach has improved the provision of affordable housing units. The study recommends that the government should regulate the interest charged on mortgages to reduce the cost of funding for affordable housing. Additionally, real estate developers should partake in public-private partnership programs to reduce the risks involved in the provision of affordable housing.

description: The Gulf of Cádiz (GoC) represents an area of socioeconomic and scientific importance for oceanographic, geological and biological processes. An interesting feature of the GoC is the presence of a large amount of mud volcanoes (MVs) and diapirs that display different seepage, seabed types, oceanographic settings and biological communities. Detailed exploration of some MVs is still needed for detecting Vulnerable Marine ecosystems (VMEs) that seem to be rare in other areas of the GoC, improving the current knowledge on its biodiversity and ecological attributes. During different expeditions (MEDWAVES-ATLAS, INDEMARES-CHICA 0610 & 0412 and ISUNEPCA 0616) carried out in different years, biological samples and videos were obtained in Gazul MV (Spanish Margin of the GoC). The study of those samples and videos has revealed the presence of several ecologically important VMEs (e.g. 3 species of reef framework-forming corals, coral gardens including solitary scleractinians, gorgonians and antipatharians, as well as deep-sea sponge aggregations and chemosynthesis-related structures) and a large number of species occurring in this MV, including new records for the European margin, threatened species and non-previously described species. The combination of different environmental and anthropogenic factors allowed the present-day persistence of these VMEs in the GoC. Some of Gazul MV biological and ecological attributes fit several criteria of the Convention on Biological Diversity for EBSA description (e.g. 1,3,4,6) that, together with those of other areas of the GoC, may contribute to the future potential nomination of an EBSA in this area of the NE Atlantic.

description: The study sought to examine the effect of financial distress factors on the profitability of microfinance banks (MFBs) licensed by the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK). The research adopted a causal research design and targeted the 13 MFBs licensed by CBK and operated between 2016 to 2020. The study targeted a period of five (5) years beginning from 2016 to 2020 forming panel data. The study was a census of all the 13 licensed Microfinance banks by CBK hence no sampling was carried out. The study collected annual secondary data from 2016 to 2020 from the 13 licensed Microfinance banks by CBK. The data was panel in nature and Microsoft Excel was used as a secondary data collection template as it is capable of inputting and managing the data. The collected panel data for the period between 2016 and 2020 was analyzed using Microsoft Excel. Descriptive statistics included mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum. Regarding inferential statistical analysis, the OLS regression model was adopted to estimate the coefficients and associated p-values to enable the fitting of the model and forecasting. The analysis of variances revealed that financial distress factors (financial leverage, liquidity and non-performing loans) have a significant impact on profitability captured by ROA. Further, the effect of liquidity on the profitability of licensed MFBs was inverse but not statistically significant. The study also revealed that financial leverage had a direct and statistically significant effect on the profitability of licensed MFBs. Finally, the study revealed that the impact of non-performing loans on profitability was inverse and statistically significant. The study thus concluded that distress factors including financial leverage, liquidity and non-performing loans have a major effect on profitability among the licensed MFBs in Kenya.
