The onset of climatic changes, marauding urbanization, schooling advances and alternative modern commerce is a beckoning realities to camel herding. The emergencies of these constraints is seemingly threating the camel herding practices in terms of socio-cultural significances, livelihood viability and sustainability as well as herding dividend. Consequently, this study attempts to navigate through the discourse around camel meat products value chains as a commercial adaptation towards improving camel pastoralists livelihoods. This enterprising approach is buttressed in transforming institutional, socio-psychological and technical interventions through research.   The objective of the study is to validate viability of camel meat marketing value chains in order to improve camel herders dividend from camel rearing. The key result areas (KRAs) entails characterization of camel meat Value Chain Nods (VCNs), synergization and effectiveness for herders, marketers, butchers, processors and consumers focusing on meat cut, bones, nyirinyiri, fat and bone marrow. Descriptive research design employed PESTEL, SWOT and FIEST models for analyzing external, internal and sustainability variables respectively. Data collective tools were FGD (n=47), Interview (n= 47) and questionnaire (n=340) in Isiolo County. The focus of the validation is to understand current practices with a view of enhancing camel meat value addition, value modification and value optimization for stakeholders. Expected research output and outcomes are publications, learning and sharing dissemination workshop as well as poverty reduction, improved quality of life for camel herders and policy influencing. ","PeriodicalId":440319,"journal":{"name":"African Journal of Science, Technology and Social Sciences","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129326986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A case in point is Kiambu County where the quality of secondary school education in has been quite low despite the county being a high economic potential area having high socio-economic status in comparison to other counties in Kenya. This study, therefore, sought to find out the connection between teacher factors and quality of education in secondary schools in Kiambu County. The study adopted the scientific management theory by Frederic Tylor and targeted 224 respondents, students, and teachers randomly selected from 120 schools in the area. Data was collected through questionnaires and was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The findings revealed that teacher-related factors had a significant correlation with the quality of education in Kiambu County secondary schools.

To determine the effect of storage temperature on microbial population in tithonia liquid organic fertilizer. To evaluate the effect of tithonia liquid organic fertilizer on kales crop. Problem Statement: Tithonia diversifolia has been used as green manure in soil fertilization and improvement of crop performance. Attempts have been made to extracts tithonia liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) to ease storage and transport. However, not much was known about quality parameters of liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) during storage. This study established the effect of storage temperature on the quality parameters of LOF from Tithonia diversifolia. Methodology: Tithonia LOF was prepared by fermenting 2 kg of tithonia leaves in 20litres of water for 2 weeks to maintain leaf water ratio of 1:10. The fermented extract was filtered using a clean cloth and transferred into 36 one litre specimen jars. Eighteen of the specimen jars were placed in the refrigerator at temperature of 00 C to 50 C while another batch of 18 in the specimen cabinet at room temperature at 230C. Specific laboratory analysis procedures were used to determine the nutritional chemical content of the sampled LOF.  Total nitrogen(N) was analyzed by ISO 5315-trimetric method, phosphorus (P) by ultraviolet visible spectrophotometer at λ-420nm, and potassium (K) by AAS ISO17319:2015. Other chemical analysis done were Magnesium (Mg) using method EN 16197:2012 AAS, Calcium by ISO method 17025 AAS and total reducing sugars by normal- phase chromatography HPLC method. The pH of the LOF was analyzed by handheld pH meter. Microbial analysis used plate count agar for bacterial and potato dextrose agar (PDA) for fungus count. Kale plants were arranged in a randomized block design of 9 plots each with 9 potted plants. The treatment was replicated three times for samples stored in the refrigerator and three times for the room temperature storage repeatedly for six months. Plant parameters measured were; plant height, number of leaves and the plant girth. Key findings: The study established that there was a significant change in LOF pH during storage, however correlation was higher for room storage than fridge storage. The study also established that there was no significant change in chemical properties of LOF in both storage conditions however, the room stored LOF had negative correlation with storage time an indicating that plant nutrients in LOF reduced with increase in storage time. In regards to microbial properties, it was found that there was no significant change in microbial count in LOF in both storage temperature experiments. The study also established that treatment of kales with LOF stored at room temperature had higher growth variance than for the fridge stored and control treatment. Discussion There was a significant change in LOF pH during storage where p=0.012.

Gatheri","doi":"10.58506/ajstss.v1i1.68","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.58506/ajstss.v1i1.68","url":null,"abstract":"Problem: Due to ever-increasing technological advancement, household energy consumption has been on the rise globally. This has led to massive depletion of the non-renewable energy sources due to the increased demand for more energy. In confined thermal systems, the high energy consumption is attributed to ineffectual energy distribution mechanisms. Objective: Energy being an essential factor in development, there is need to establish parameters that influence mechanisms of its distribution to obviate this problem. Methodology: The distribution of energy in confined environments is largely associated with the interactions between the fluid particles and the walls of the flow domain. The intricacies of these interactions is responsible for the diversity in energy profiles in thermal systems.  The Rayleigh number incorporates these interactions into a single parameter. In fluid dynamics, energy transfer is expressed in terms of the Nusselt number. In confined flow, . The values of the constants C and n respectively depend on the geometry of the flow domain whereas depend on the flow conditions. Since most fluids are of low viscosity, flows encountered in practical applications are mostly turbulent. This paper analyses energy profiles in a turbulent flow in a domain with adiabatic walls for and . The physical laws governing the flow are modeled into a generic equation that incorporates all mechanisms of energy transport. The finite volume method is used to discretize the generic equation due to its ability to adapt a grid structure that captures the local features of the flow domain and the consistence of the final mathematical formulations with the underlying physical laws. The discrete equation is solved iteratively using a segregated pressure-based algorithm. Results: The results revealed that the distribution of energy in the flow field is dependent on the geometrical configurations of the flow domain and the flow conditions. Conclusion: Mechanisms of energy transfer is a function of the Rayleigh number and the Aspect ratio of the flow domain. Application & Recommendation: Aspect ratio and Rayleigh number are the parameters that form a scientific basis for energy management as well as tools for designing thermal systems that enhance energy-efficacy while providing the desired thermal conditions. ","PeriodicalId":440319,"journal":{"name":"African Journal of Science, Technology and Social Sciences","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126616724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the spread of CE to non-endemic areas is possible due to livestock trade, dogs’ roaming behaviour and limited knowledge on CE transmission. This study determined the presence of CE in humans, the genetic variability of the parasite in livestock and the role of dogs in the establishment of lifecycle in a non-endemic region. \u0000Methodology: Screening of human CE in Bungoma County was performed using a portable ultrasound scanner, while livestock cysts were collected during meat inspection in Busia and Bungoma slaughterhouses. Around each slaughterhouse, ten dog-keeping homesteads were selected and from each homestead a dog faecal sample was collected for microscopic examination of taeniid eggs and other helminths. Copro-ELISA was performed on the dog faecal samples for detection of E. granulosus s. l. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism and sequencing were performed to genotype taeniid eggs, characterize CE livestock cysts and determine the genetic diversity of E. granulosus sensu stricto (s. s.). Results: Out of 1002 people screened for CE; 67 (6.7%) participants had abnormal findings and, of these, 7 (1.1%) had simple liver cysts classified as CL by WHO. In livestock, E. granulosus s. s. was identified in 135/153 cysts. Eleven haplotypes for Nad1 and 19 for Cox1 gene were identified in E. granulosus s. s. Helminths detected in dogs included hookworms (n=92; 59.4%), ascarids (n=15; 9.7%), and taeniid (n=1; 0.6%). The sequences of nine (9) taeniid eggs recovered from the single taeniid positive sample identified as E. canadensis (1), T. multiceps (1) and T. serialis (6). Copro-ELISA was positive in 12/77 (15.6%) faecal samples.

WHO (Eliminate Yellow Fever Epidemics) is a plan to control YFV, with strategies to be carried out from 2017 to 2026. YFV outbreaks occurred in nine African countries in 2021. The burden was estimated in 2013 to be between 84,000 and 170,000 severe cases and 29,000 to 60,000 deaths. Most of the world’s cases were reported in West and East Africa. Understanding the occurrence of yellow fever epidemics is critical for targeted interventions and control efforts to reduce the burden of disease.  A systematic review study design was used to review existing literature and data on the yellow fever incidence and mortality rates in the region. Predictors of occurrence of yellow fever outbreaks were identified to include; local mosquito populations and specific yellow fever virus strain, eco climatic conditions, sociopolitical and demographic factors including population size, density, mobility, and vaccine coverage.  Kenya declared an outbreak of yellow fever in Isiolo County after the death of three people. About 20 cases were reported in Isiolo in February. Counties bordering Isiolo were placed in the high-risk bracket. A national incident management structure to manage the outbreak was established. The team visited the epicenter of the outbreak in Merti and Garbatulla. Active case search and surveillance was done. It was noted that there was delay in case investigation. This was attributed to low index of suspicion among clinicians. It was concluded that there could be a possibility of both malaria and yellow fever outbreak in the county.

The unpredicted nature of the economic informed decision data due to rapid unstructured data that was generated at a high pace, business entities were at a great risk to collapse. Kenya is no exception to these unprecedented   phenomena - COVID-19 pandemic. Retrospectively, we can learn lessons from the earlier shattering worldwide pandemics such as the Spanish Flu or the great influenza which paved way to paradigm shifts in the introduction and implementation of disruptive technologies. In the recent past, there is an increasing effort on innovative technologies to make every sector sustainable to meet the opportunities arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.  This paper explored and presented    the latent opportunities in which Kenya’s business community in virtually all sectors/industries can harness and leverage not only for economic recovery’s sake but also creating a platform for businesses to catapult towards business reengineering maturity frameworks that is hardened with almost infinite potency of innovations.

Leveraging BI and AI will aid business organizations transform data into useful insights that inform a businesses’ strategic and tactical decisions. Pragmatically, detailed intelligence about the status of the business using BI and machine learning techniques   together with predictive analytics will be demonstrated in this paper as a panacea of economic recovery from post COVID-19 ravages when adopted and integrated well in Kenya’s business landscape. It will no doubt provide business entities with groundbreaking data-driven insights that can be leverage and be utilized to synthesize big data into a coherent action plan (using BI/AI powered economic data). This way, business entities will be able to employ this data to create post COVID-19 recovery indexes which is further used to give business entities important statistics such as predictive recovery Index that ultimately aid quick economic recovery for Kenya’s business sector by embracing the utilization of the unstructured vast data generated for the advantage of economic revolution.","PeriodicalId":440319,"journal":{"name":"African Journal of Science, Technology and Social Sciences","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121658881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
