Research on the impacts of small arms has shown that children affected by small arms require much attention and support to put their lives back to normalcy and integrate them into the society. In Kenya, the proliferation of small arms in the Northern parts of the Country is an issue of serious concern for the government. Frequent reports of violent conflicts using small arms have been reported over since the year 1967-todate. In Mandera County, low access to education, food insecurity and poor health among children have also been reported. However, no study had been done to establish the impacts of these small arms on children. This study sought to determine the impact of small arms on children’s well being in Mandera County. The study will sought to examine the causes of the proliferation of small arms; determine the impacts of small arms on education of the children; access to health; and access to nutrition and water and examine the ways that can be used to control the proliferation of small arms in Mandera County. The study was guided by the deterrence theory. The study adopted a descriptive survey design obtaining data from teachers and humanitarian aid workers in the region. Data was collected using interviews schedules and document analysis guides. Interview guides was used to collect historical data from old village natives and humanitarian assistance workers while records of impacts were obtained from humanitarian organizations records of post armed conflict impacts and records on provision of education, health services, food and water. Data was then analyzed using descriptive statistics such as cross tabulations, frequencies and percentages and presented in form of tables and charts for interpretation with aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 19. The information is expected to shed light on the impacts of small arms on children which may be used by the government and Non – Governmental Organizations in devising intervention measures that could help the affected children. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS DECLARATION ................................................................................................................ ii DEDICATION

  • Abstracts 2019 July Graduation
    ABSTRACTS 2019 JULY GRADUATION PHD SCHOOL OF BUSINESS FINANCING DECISIONS AND SHAREHOLDER VALUE CREATIONOF NON- FINANCIAL FIRMS QUOTED AT THE NAIROBI SECURITIES EXCHANGE, KENYA KARIUKI G MUTHONI-PHD Department: Business Administration Supervisors: Dr. Ambrose O. Jagongo Dr. Joseph Muniu Shareholder value creation and profit maximizing are among the primary objectives of a firm. Shareholder value creation focuses more on long term sustainability of returns and not just profitability. Rational investors expect good long term yield of their investment. Corporate financial decisions play an imperative role in general performance of a company and shareholder value creation. There have been a number of firms facing financial crisis among them; Mumias Sugar Ltd, Uchumi Supermarkets Ltd and Kenya Airways Ltd. All these companies are quoted at the Nairobi Securities Exchange. Due to declining performance of these companies, share prices have been dropping and shareholders do not receive dividends. This study investigated the effects of financing decisions on shareholder value creation of non- financial firms quoted at NSE for the period 2008-2014. The study was guided by various finance models; which include, Modigliani and Miller, Pecking Order Theory, Agency Free Flow Theory, Market Timing Theory and Capital Asset Pricing Model. The study used general and empirical models from previous studies as a basis for studying specific models which were modified to suit the current study. The study was guided by the positivism philosophy. The study employed explanatory design which is non-experimental. Census design was used as the number of non- financial firms at the time of the study was 40 companies. The data was gathered from NSE handbooks and CMA publications comprising of annual financial statements, income statements and accompanying notes.

    Arboviruses of Human Health significance in Kenya Atoni E1,2#, Waruhiu C1,2#, Nganga S1,2, Xia H1, Yuan Z1 1. Key Laboratory of Special Pathogens, Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan 430071, China 2. University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, 100049, China #Authors contributed equally to this work Correspondence: Zhiming Yuan, [email protected]; Tel.: +86-2787198195 Summary In tropical and developing countries, arboviruses cause emerging and reemerging infectious diseases. The East African region has experienced several outbreaks of Rift valley fever virus, Dengue virus, Chikungunya virus and Yellow fever virus. In Kenya, data from serological studies and mosquito isolation studies have shown a wide distribution of arboviruses throughout the country, implying the potential risk of these viruses to local public health. However, current estimates on circulating arboviruses in the country are largely underestimated due to lack of continuous and reliable countrywide surveillance and reporting systems on arboviruses and disease vectors and the lack of proper clinical screening methods and modern facilities. In this review, we discuss arboviruses of human health importance in Kenya by outlining the arboviruses that have caused outbreaks in the country, alongside those that have only been detected from various serological studies performed. Based on our analysis, at the end we provide workable technical and policy-wise recommendations for management of arboviruses and arboviral vectors in Kenya.

Recently, the outbreak of Zika virus Introduction became a global public security event, due to its Arthropod-borne viruses (Arboviruses) are a cause ability to cause congenital brain abnormalities, of significant human and animal diseases worldwide.
