Poly-drug use among female and male commercial sex workers visiting a drop in centre in Mombasa County, Kenya
(PLOS GLOBAL PUBLIC HEALTH, 2022-11-11)The relationship between commercial sex work and drug use is complex and the two exacerbate each other. In Kenya, Mombasa County has one of the highest populations of drug users and commercial sex workers. Despite ... -
Ranks and Subdegrees of External Direct Product of Cn Dr Acting on X Y
(UoEm, 2020)In this paper, transitivity, ranks and subdegrees of the action of ex- ternal direct product of Cyclic and Dihedral group on Cartesian Product of two sets are determined. The action is proved to be transitive. Also, it's ... -
Rank and Subdegrees of PGL(2; q) Acting Cosets of PGL(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 PGL(2; e) when q is an odd prime power of e. In this paper, we ... -
Ranks, Subdegrees and Suborbital graphs of the product action of Affine Groups
(UoEm, 2020)The action of affine groups on Galois field has been studied. For instance, [3] studied the action of 𝐴𝑓𝑓 (𝑞 ) on Galois field 𝐺𝐹 (𝑞) for 𝑞 a power of prime 𝑝. In this paper, the rank and subdegree of the direct ... -
Application of Marks to Computation of Ranks and Subdegrees of the Symmetric Group Acting on Ordered 4-Element and 5- Element Subsets
(UoEm, 2015)Ranks and subdegrees can be computed using combinatorial arguments, the Cauchy-Frobenius lemma and use of the concept of marks. However the concept of Marks has been given very little attention. In this paper we will apply ... -
Cycle Index Formulas for D n Acting on Unordered Pairs
(Uoem, 2015)The cycle index of dihedral group D n acting on the set of X the vertices of a regular n- gon was studied (See [1]). In this paper we study the cycle index formulas of D n acting on unordered pairs from the set . In each ... -
Application of Marks to Computation of Ranks and Subdegrees of the Symmetric Group Acting on Ordered Pairs and on Ordered Triples
(Uoem, 2014)Ranks and subdegrees can be computed using combinatorial arguments, the Cauchy-Frobenius lemma and use of the concept of marks. However the concept of Marks has been given very little attention. In this paper we will apply ... -
Action of PGL(2,q) on the Cosets of the Centralizer of an Eliptic Element
(Uoem, 2021-08-19)Most researchers consider the action of projective general group on the cosets of its maximal subgroups leaving out non-maximal subgroups. In this paper, we consider the action of PGL(2,q) centralizer of an elliptic ... -
