title: The Effect of Mobile Banking on Financial Performance of Commercial Banks Listed in Nairobi Securities Exchange

description: The study sought to examine the effect of mobile banking on financial performance of listed commercial banks in Kenya. The research adopted a causal research design. The research targeted the 12 listed commercial banks that operated between 2016 to 2020. Annual panel data sources running from 2016 to December 2020 was adopted in the current study.” The collected panel data for the period of between 2016 and 2020 was analyzed using Microsoft excel. The study adopted OLS regression model for the purpose of estimating the coefficients and associated p-values to enable the fitting the model and forecasting. The effect of mobile phone-based loans on financial performance was direct and major. The study also showed that Mobile Banking Volume of Transactions had a direct and significant effect on financial performance. Mobile Banking Value of Transactions also had a direct and significant. The analysis also revealed that the effect of asset quality on financial performance was inverse and significant. The effect of Capital Adequacy on financial performance was direct but not significant. Finally, the effect of Bank size on financial performance was positive and significant. The study thus concluded that mobile banking, asset quality, capital adequacy and bank size had a significant effect on financial performance of listed commercial banks in Kenya. The study thus suggests to management of listed commercial banks to improved mobile banking technologies and platform for easy access and use by customers. Management of listed commercial banks to issue high quality loans to customers. The banks should continue performing back ground check on customers’ credit worthiness to lower incidences of nonperforming loans. Management of listed commercial banks to continue increasing the size of their banks. The banks can increase their investment in financial assets such as treasury bills and bonds.

title: Maximizando a eficiência operacional: liderança na área de produção para aumentar a satisfação e a produtividade no trabalho

description: A liderança é essencial em qualquer organização, setor e equipe. O líder possui um papel crucial em relação à equipe e à organização, não sendo diferente do setor de produção. Como parte importante de uma organização, esse setor deve se comportar como um espelho e cuidar de seus funcionários para manter a saúde da empresa. Diante dessa situação, o objetivo do estudo é examinar com mais detalhes o papel da liderança no setor de produção, usando teorias e pesquisas bibliográficas. Preciso entender como essas pesquisas podem ajudar a construir uma compreensão mais ampla da liderança nesse contexto específico. É uma pesquisa exploratória que usa um enfoque quantitativo e, em relação aos seus objetivos, é classificada como uma pesquisa descritiva. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de questionários e pesquisas documentais aplicadas a todos os funcionários. O objetivo da pesquisa era determinar quanto os funcionários estavam satisfeitos ou insatisfeitos com aspectos como o ambiente de trabalho, benefícios, liderança e feedback. A tabulação dos dados dependeu da opinião individual. Verificou-se que as opiniões dos funcionários eram positivas, com sessenta por cento dos funcionários satisfeitos com a relação que eles têm com o líder e sua equipe, com os treinamentos e salário. No entanto, 44% dos funcionários estão insatisfeitos com a frequência com que recebem feedback, com a harmonia do ambiente de trabalho e com o quanto se sentem valorizados por seus chefes no local de trabalho. Esses dados são considerados pertinentes. Com base nos resultados da pesquisa, as partes enfatizaram a importância da liderança na produção e como ela impacta diretamente na organização. Serão discutidas as principais questões encontradas nas teorias comprovadas, oferecendo uma visão crítica das práticas de liderança mais comuns neste contexto. Além disso, recomendações serão fornecidas a gestores e líderes de equipes de produção para apoiar a criação de um ambiente de trabalho produtivo e saudável.A pesquisa ampliará nossa compreensão da liderança na indústria de produção e fornecerá bases e incentivos para melhorar as técnicas de liderança nesse ambiente particular.

title: Aiming at the Wrong Targets: The Domestic Consequences of International Efforts to Build Institutions

description: We explain why international development organizations have had so little success building and reforming public sector institutions in developing countries. They often fail despite their apparently strong commitment to achieving measurable results and extraordinary amounts of time, money, and effort. We demonstrate that, when donors and lenders make access to financing contingent upon achievement of performance targets, recipient countries tend to choose easy and shallow institutional targets. These targets measure the organization of public sector institutions, rather than their effectiveness at addressing public problems. Such targets provide countries with low-cost opportunities to signal commitment to institution-building to international development organizations. We demonstrate the explanatory and predictive power of our argument in the context of a sector of World Bank lending—environment and natural resource management—that focuses heavily on improving public sector institutions.

title: Can farmer-to-farmer communication boost the dissemination of agroforestry innovations? Case in Sulawesi, Indonesia

description: Research agencies generate a vast number of agroforestry innovations, many of which have significant potential to increase productivity and to improve livelihoods. However, the dissemination of information related to these innovations and their adoption rate remains low throughout Indonesia, particularly in areas with a low level of infrastructure development, such as in Sulawesi, Indonesia. In areas such as these, interpersonal communication between farmers (farmer-to-farmer interpersonal communication) is a significant means by which farmers obtain information related to agroforestry innovations that they may utilize to improve the productivity of their plots. Given the significance of this channel of communication, further investigation is merited to assess how it might be leveraged to improve the dissemination of information related to agroforestry innovations and how it can complement the use of other communication channels. Thus, this study was conducted to identify how farmer-to-farmer interpersonal communication is used and the extent to which it is a preferred means by which information related to agroforestry innovations is disseminated in Sulawesi, Indonesia. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews involving 144 farmers (40 % female) from 12 villages in the provinces of South Sulawesi and Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Results show distinct differences in terms of farmers’ preferences for the various types of disseminators of information related to agroforestry innovations between provinces and genders. It was found that farmers play a significant role as reliable disseminators of information related to agroforestry innovations to a greater extent in areas where farmer’s access to government extension agents is limited and where language barriers act as a constraint to the dissemination of information by these agents. Farmer-to-farmer communication is not the only communication channel for the dissemination of the information, but it is preferred by farmers who only speak local languages. Thus, to enhance the dissemination rate of agroforestry innovations, farmer-to-farmer communication channels should be utilized to complement the use of other channels. In areas where farmer-to-farmer communication channels are preferred, deliberate measures to improve expert farmers’ and opinion leaders’ access to information related to agricultural and agroforestry innovations will facilitate the effective dissemination of this information amongst a greater number of farmers.

title: A combined phase contrast imaging and heterodyne interferometer system for multiscale fluctuation measurements

description: A novel combined diagnostic capable of measuring multiscale density fluctuations that extend from magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) to the lower range of electron temperature gradient (ETG) turbulence has been designed, installed, and operated at DIII-D. The combined diagnostic was constructed by adding a heterodyne interferometer to the pre-existing phase contrast imaging (PCI) system, both of which measure line-integrated electron-density fluctuations. The port-space footprint is minimized via use of a single 10.6-micron probe beam. With temporal bandwidths in excess of 1 MHz, the PCI measures high-k (1.5/cm &lt; |k_R| &lt;= 25/cm) fluctuations with sensitivity 3e13 m^{-2} / \sqrt{kHz}, while the interferometer simultaneously measures low-k (|k_R| &lt; 5/cm) fluctuations with sensitivity 3e14 m^{-2} / \sqrt{kHz}. The intentional mid-k overlap has been empirically verified with sound-wave calibrations and allows quantitative investigation of multiscale effects, which are predicted to be significant in the reactor-relevant T_e ~ T_i regime. Further, via correlation with the primary DIII-D interferometer, the toroidal mode numbers of core-localized MHD can be measured.

title: Replication Data for: Assessing the Downstream Socioeconomic and Land Health Impacts of Agroforestry in Kenya

description: Agroforestry is widely purported to improve the livelihoods of smallholder farmers, rehabilitate degraded landscapes, and enhance the provisioning of critical ecosystem services, including carbon sequestration. Yet, the evidence base supporting these longer-term impacts is weak. Using a quasi-experimental evaluation design based on a theory-based and mixed methods framework, we investigated both the downstream and intermediate effects of a nine year effort led by Vi Agroforestry (herein Vi), a Swedish non-governmental organization (NGO), to promote agroforestry in large sections of Bungoma and Kakamega counties in western Kenya. In particular, we compared two sets of households against various outcome measures along the causal chain: those belonging to (a) 226 pre-existing farmer groups operating in 60 targeted programme villages; and (b) 206 pre-existing farmer groups operating in 61 geospatially matched comparison (non-programme) villages. To further counter selection bias, we combined several econometric analytical methods, including two-stage least squares regression (2SLS), with difference-in-differences estimation. In addition, to triangulate key findings and interrogate impact pathways, unforeseen outcomes, and unexpected quantitative results, we carried out semi-structured in-depth interviews with a sub-sample of 40 purposively selected programme participants. We also applied process tracing to investigate the linkages between Vi’s programme and previous agroforestry research carried out by the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF). We found these research-to-programme linkages to be strong, and that greater—albeit variable and generally modest—programme exposure and agroforestry uptake took place among the farmer groups Vi targeted. Similarly, significant, yet again variable, effects were also identified for agroforestry product income, fuelwood access, and milk yields among dairy farmers. Soil organic carbon (estimated through remote sensing) increased at a higher rate overall in the sampled farm plots of the programme villages, but, ironically, so too did soil erosion. Finally, we found limited evidence that the programme significantly bolstered food security, shock resilience, and education progression and spending. However, we identified statistically significant—although, again, modest— programme effects for our asset and consumption expenditure measures (which includes our primary outcome variable), particularly among households represented by female programme participants.
