HEALTHCARE ACCESS AND EQUITY: ADDRESSING DISPARITIES IN KENYA
(UoEm, 2024-07-10)This paper embarks on exploring the inequity in access to healthcare in Kenya. This is despite the efforts by the government to ensure that all citizens have equal access to health. This paper suggests that the tremendous ... -
HEALTHCARE ACCESS & EQUITY: ADDRESSING DISPARITIES IN KENYA
(UoEm, 2024-07-10)Kenya faces a challenge in ensuring everyone has access to the healthcare they need. Despite government’s efforts, disparities persist. Despite having a majority of Kenyans residing in the rural areas, it is those in ... -
BRIDGING THE HEALTH DIVIDE: ACHIEVING EQUITY AND ACCESS IN KENYA'S HEALTHCARE SYSTEM
(UoEm, 2024-07-10)This paper provides a detailed analysis of healthcare access and equity in Kenya by providing historical context, current status, and critical disparities experienced in health services. It looks at the urban-rural divide, ... -
Inoculum sources and management of bean scab caused by Elsinoë phaseoli
(UoEm, 2024-06-24)Bean scab caused by Elsinoë phaseoli is a major challenge to common bean cultivationin Kenya. However, knowledge about its epidemiology and management is limited.This study conducted three experiments in Kakamega, Kenya, ... -
Efficacy of Metarhizium anisopliae against the Greater Pumpkin Fly Dacus bivitattus
(UoEm, 2023-07-01)The greater pumpkin fly Dacus bivittatus (Bigot) is a fruit fly indigenous to Africa, which causes extensive damage to Cucurbitaceae. To control this pest, farmers rely on synthetic chemicals, often organophosphates, which ... -
A Guide for Soil Health and Fertility for Maize production in Kenya
(UoEm, 2023)The health of your soil is a fundamental aspect of successful farming. However, many arable soils in Kenya have degraded and lost fertility over recent decades1. This is expected because many soils were recently transformed ... -
Parental Involvement Influence on Education Participation for Learners with Hearing Impairments in Special Public Primary Schools in Meru and Isiolo Counties- Kenya
(UoEm, 2024-05)Globally need for education, as a measure of one's ability to function fully in today's society, is an important motivator for efforts to achieve the highest level of education in the world. The persistent under achievement ... -
Identification of Elsinoë phaseoli causing bean scab in Kenya and evaluation of sporulation using five adapted techniques
(UoEm, 2024-06-07)This research addresses the presence of Elsinoë phaseoli in Kenya, where information on the biology of this pathogen remains scarce. Employing a multifaceted approach, the study demonstrates the steps taken to isolate, ... -
Modelling and Simulation of Competition for Students’ Population with Holling Type II Response
(UoEm, 2023)Te increase in the country’s population attracted the establishment of more schools, both public and private schools, to cater for the increasing number of students. However, there have been dynamics of students’ population ... -
Transitivity Action of An on (n=4,5,6,7) on Unordered and Ordered Quadrupples
(UoEm, 2015)In this paper, we study some transitivity action properties of the alternating group An(n=4,5,6,7 ,) acting on unordered and ordered pairs from the set X = {1,2,...,n} through determination of the number of disjoint equivalence ... -
Rank and Subdegrees of P GL(2, q) Acting Cosets of P GL(2, e) for q an Even Power of e
(UoEm, 2019)The action of projective general group on the cosets of its maximal subgroups has been studied. For instance, [9] studied the action of G on the cosets of P GL(2, e) when q is an odd prime power of e. In this paper, we ... -
Predicting the Number of Tourists in-Flow to Kenya Using Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average Model
(UoEm, 2022-12)Tourism is the leading source of revenue to the Kenyan Government, contributing about 8.8% to the Kenya’s Gross Domestic Product. Based on the 2019 report released by the ministry of tourism and wildlife, tourism industry ... -
On the Number of Cyclotomic Cosets and Cyclic Codes over Z13
(UoEm, 2018-06)Let Zq be a finite field with q element and x n − 1 be a given cyclotomic polynomial. The number of cyclotomic cosets and cyclic codes has not been done in general. Although for different values of q the polynomial x n ... -
Enumeration of cyclic codes over GF(17)
(UoEm, 2015-05)In this paper we seek the number of irreducible polynomials of xn− 1 over GF(17). We factorize Xn− 1 over GF(17)into irreducible polynomials using cyclotomic cosets of 17 modulo n . The number of irreducible polynomials ... -
Cycle Index Formulas for Dn Acting on Ordered pairs
(UoEm, 2016-04)The cycle index of dihedral group Dn acting on the set of the vertices of a regular n-gon was studied by Harary and Palmer in 1973 [1]. Since then a number of researchers have studied the cycle indices dihedral group ... -
Cycle Index Formulas for Dn Acting on Unordered Pairs
(UoEm, 2015)The cycle index of dihedral group Dn acting on the set X of the vertices of a regular -gon was studied (See [1]). In this paper we study the cycle index formulas of Dn acting on unordered pairs from the set x . In ... -
Action ofPGL (2 ,q ) on the Cosets of the Centralizer of an Eliptic Element
