ABSTRACT The Kenyan education sector has not embraced the ICT usage and consequently, effect of integration of ICT on performance has not received adequate investigation. The study, therefore, investigated the effect of ICT integration on the performance of tertiary institutions in Nairobi City County. The study target population was 149 tertiary institutions in Nairobi City County. Simple random sampling method was used to select the respondents from the sample size of 60 respondents drawn f...
ABSTRACT Assessing the rate at which ICTs utilization was being used to enhance the performance of the institution (University of Kabianga) in Kericho County Kenya, was the main reason for carrying out this research project with the aim of focusing on the four variables namely: ICT infrastructure, ICT proficiency, ICT integration and ICT management supports. The problem has been that our universities have been investing so much in ICT and yet the added value of it has not been realized in ter...
ABSTRACT Counties in Kenya have adequate revenue based in financing their current services, but the collection levels are often low. Thus the counties are striving to re–engineer strategies towards improvement of revenue collections since it is their mandate to offer quality and timely service delivery to the residents and they cannot proceed well without enough finances to run crucial activities. The study therefore sought to investigate Information Communication Technology considerations...
ABSTRACT Information and communication Technology (ICT) plays a basic and key job in empowering associations meet their objectives and destinations. Despite the efforts to adopt ICT in the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) operations to enhance revenue collection, challenges still exist. KRA has failed to hit the set target on numerous occasions. The main objective of the current study was therefore to assess the effect of capability of information and communication technology on performance of K...
ABSTRACT The research work is positioned within Instructional designs and E-learning field with a contribution to the understanding of how the instructional materials are designed specifically in the e-learning environment. Instructional design is essential in E-learning as it involves the systematic process of exploiting the philosophies of teaching and learning so as to construct the most required effective and equitable knowledge. Furthermore, the instructional design allows content deve...
ABSTRACT Recruitment process is a procedure of selecting an ideal candidate amongst different applicants who suit the qualifications required by the given institution in the best way. Due to the multi criteria nature of the recruitment process, it involves contradictory, numerous and incommensurable criteria that are based on quantitative and qualitative measurements. Quantitative criteria evaluation are not always dependent on the judgement of the expert, they are expressed in either moneta...
ABSTRACT In the last few years devastating flash floods descending downstream through valleys have occurred in East Nile Locality-Sudan. A flash flood can be caused by intense rain, particularly when it takes place in a saturated area where rain has previously fallen. Under these conditions the additional rain runs off over the surface and accumulates in streams and channels at a much accelerated pace. Runoff is the one of the components consists of water cycle and useful water resources to ...
ABSTRACT Despite the use of HIS in developing countries, healthcare practitioners rely on manual CDS tools and techniques that cause challenges in their work. However, the use of advanced tools and techniques might make use of the largely accumulated data in order to improve CDS. No studies have explored on the application of data analytics techniques in improving CDS by taking advantage of available clinical data being continuously collected by the existing HIS. The aim of this study was to...
Abstract The geoid is an equipotential surface which coincides on the average with the mean sea level has significant relevance in geodesy, surveying and other earth related disciplines.This thesis focuses on the digital terrain modeling (DTM) technique based on geometrical interpolation approach by fitting a surface that depends on the reference points that are chosen in the critical and characteristic locations of the field to represent the trend of the surface. Using the orthometric heigh...
ABSTRACT Defaulter tracing systems are patient centred information systems which are used to enhance monitoring of patients who have dropped out of health programs. The aim of this study is to explore the operation of defaulter tracing systems in practice. The study has been undertaken in Tanzanian health facilities by using qualitative data collection methods. Activity theory is employed as a conceptual framework to analyze the findings. Findings show that the implementation of defaulter tr...
ABSTRACT Recently, there has been an increase of enrollment rate of secondary schools students in Tanzania, due to introducing fee free and expansion of compulsory basic education from pre-primary to form four. These efforts aimed to alleviate poverty and develop national economy by enhancing competitive labor skills. However, the completion rate of students is highly affected by extreme dropout rate in those secondary schools. Previous studies have explored the causes of school dropout pro...
Abstract Globally, higher healthcare demand strains existing systems, already overburdened by a lack of resources and funding while longer life expectancy and increased disease burden force higher patient loads. A majority of the South African population is medically uninsured and therefore depend on emergency care; consequently, the healthcare service demand easily exceeds available acute care to prevent life threat. When this happens, emergency centres suffer from overcrowding and long pat...
The study aimed at establishing the factors promoting adoption of E-Learning and determining the usability challenges in E-Learning applications in Kenya. Consequently, an E-learning educational prototype application was developed to address the usability challenges. The prototype application dubbed “Elimu Digital” was designed to complement physical classroom teaching by providing an online representation of course content. Both quantitative and qualitative analysis were employed in t...
Crime profiling helps law enforcement agencies understand, tackle and sometimes predict the next move by criminals. This can be achieved by monitoring and studying patterns and trends that have occurred in the past and continue to occur in the present. Social media platforms such as Facebook, Google Plus, Instagram, Reddit and in this case Twitter, have created platforms where people share views, opinions and emotions all the while influencing and informing others. This research set out with...
Over years, the economic impact of Small and Medium Enterprises in our societies has been significant. For instance, In Kenya, over 50 percent of jobs were created by this sector in 2005 leading to the growth of the country’s GDP. But despite its impact, SME’s often take the biggest blow in periods of slow business. When there are reduced orders, cancelation of orders, delayed payments by creditors, the impact is immediate as most of these firms don’t have a wide array of products or se...
