Financial literacy enhances effective use of financial services, promotes technical progress, promotes economic growth and development and aids in poverty reduction. However, Fin Access survey data shows that 17 per cent of Kenyans are financially excluded as in 2016 while enrolment in primary, secondary, and post-secondary between 2000 and 2016 increased by 66, 259, and 431 per cent respectively. This implies that increased school enrolment has not translated to reduced financial exclusion s...
ABSTRACT Root knot nematodes (RKNs) of (Meloidogyne spp.) are among the most devastating soil-borne plant parasitic pests infecting many food crops. They have been shown to result in over 50% loss of crop yield in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill). Various control measures including agronomic practices and nematicides have been employed in the past to manage the parasite with only modest gains. These are also costly to small-scale farmers especially in developing countries. There is need ...
Abstract: Lepidopteran stem borers are among field insect pests responsible for the low maize production in sub-Saharan Africa. In Kenya, Chilo partellus Swinhoe (Pyralidae), Busseola fusca Fuller (Noctuidae) and Sesamia calamistis Hampson (Noctuidae) constitute the major proportion of stemborer community. Concerted efforts to reduce stemborer populations in maize fields have been emphasized without a good understanding of potential losses associated with damage by respective stemborer speci...

ABSTRACT This research project was to investigate the information literacy collaboration challenges in JKUAT library. Information literacy (IL) is a critical pillar in all libraries. It ensures optimal usage of all forms of information resources acquired. It demands collaboration between the library, teaching departments, administrators as well as users to achieve its purpose. The challenge is that this IL partnership is often missing in many information centers. This investigation was t...
ABSTRACT Background: Intermittent preventive treatment for prevention of malaria in pregnancy (IPTp) is a key component of malaria control strategy in Ghana and sulfadoxinepyrimethamine (SP) is the drug of choice. Despite the evidence of the effectiveness of IPTp strategy using SP in reducing the adverse effects of malaria during pregnancy the uptake and coverage in Kumasi metropolis of the Ashanti Region is low. Objective: This study set out to assess the use of IPTp among pregnant women and...
ABSTRACT This study explored the impact of small-scale mining activities on the environment in two regions in Namibia: Erongo (examples: Uis, Neu Schwaben, Xoboxobos) and Omaheke (example: Otjinene). Limited research is done on the activities of small-scale mining in Namibia which results in unavailability of data. Although recent studies reveal that about 5 000 to 10 000 Namibians work as small-scale miners, information about mining activities in Namibia remain a rare commodity. Small-scale ...

ABSTRACT The reading habit of secondary school students in Nigeria has been found to be on the decline. This trend can be traced to lack of library infrastructure and facilities in most schools and homes. This has raised concern among stakeholders and portends danger for the academic performance. Previous studies have focused more on home- and school-related factors with little emphasis on students-related factors such as selfesteem, peer influence and social media utilisation. This study...
Abstract Improvements in the benefit of CT have been so dramatic that a tendency exists to the overuse. CT is a diagnostic imaging modality giving higher patient dose in comparison with other radiological procedures. While the benefits of CT exceed the harmful effects of radiation exposure in patients, increasing radiation doses to the population have raised. The main objective of this work was to find an optimization approach to minimize the radiation dose to adult patients undergoing CT ex...
