South Africa's Forgotten Freedom Fighters, Kimberly H. Conner, Natasha Scully
Capstones
More than two decades have passed since the end of apartheid, yet freedom is elusive for those who battled to bring democracy to South Africa. There are more than 16,000 military veterans living in South Africa, according to the Department of Military Veterans database. The real figure is likely much larger since the database is still under development. Many of these veterans are caged by the psychological, social and financial consequences of their past.

Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) techniques are employed to analyse primary data to investigate the technical efficiency of the selected SMEs. Estimation results show that SMEs in Monrovia are generally inefficient. The mean inefficiency is 21 percent, and around 11 percent of the SMEs interviewed have inefficiency of over 30 percent. Despite the meagre financial resources at the disposal of the SMEs in Monrovia, there is an apparent underutilisation that needs to be addressed. Moreover, the study used a Two-Limit Tobit model to identify factors …

His Standardization In Developing Countries: Use Of Boundary Objects To Enable Multiple Translations, Edwin E. Nyella Mr., Honest Kimaro Dr.
The African Journal of Information Systems
Standardization and integration of Health Information Systems (HIS) in most developing countries has been reported as a complex undertaking due to poverty, multiplicity of diseases and diverse actors working in various initiatives within the healthcare context. The need for collaborative investments in HIS strengthening is highlighted by major actors such as WHO, as significant to achieve an integrated HIS. However, despite the fact that involvement of multiple partners is desirable as a vehicle to attain an integrated HIS, entailed challenges should be understood and well managed. By drawing on the concept of translation from actor network theory supplemented by the …

Human Rights States And Societies: A Reflection From Kenya, Willy Mutunga
Human Rights States And Societies: A Reflection From Kenya, Willy Mutunga
The Transnational Human Rights Review
A human rights state is conceptualized as a liberal democratic state with a social democratic content, the modern day version of the capitalist welfare state. With the “collapses” of communism and neoliberalism, the paradigms of human rights and social justice have taken a center state. The birth of transformative constitutions and transformative constitutionalism linked to modern and comprehensive Bills of Rights have enriched the intellectual, ideological, and political debates of human rights and social justice paradigms. On one hand they have the ingredients of mitigating neo-liberalism while on the other hand they reflect some of the features of the paradigms …

Effect Of Diabetes Self-Management Education On Glycemic Control, Compared To Usual Care In Type 2 Diabetic Patients At The Family Medicine Clinic, Aga Khan University Hospital Nairobi, Catherine Wanjiku Gathu
Master of Medicine in Family Medicine
Background: Globally, the magnitude of disease burden associated with diabetes is high. Poor glycemic control contributes greatly to this burden, especially in the occurrence of related complications. The value of Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) is evident in literature, and has been recommended as a way of optimizing glycemic and metabolic control and averting early onset of diabetes complications. Usual care involves spontaneous sharing of information during medical consultations without planned structure or defined time frame. In the African setting, the effect of DSME, and how it compares to usual care, is yet to be fully explored. Objective: To compare the …

Safety Analysis Of Freeway Segments With Unobserved Heterogeneity And Second Order Spatial Effects, Eneliko Mujuni Mulokozi
Safety Analysis Of Freeway Segments With Unobserved Heterogeneity And Second Order Spatial Effects, Eneliko Mujuni Mulokozi
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
Safety analysis of freeway networks entails the quantification of crash frequency influencing factors which include roadway and traffic characteristics, environmental factors as well as human factors. This quantification can be used to detect locations with large impacts on the occurrence of crashes which in turn assist engineers and planners to improve safety levels of the network. Roadway characteristics are comprised of the physical elements of the road geometry such as section length, median and right shoulders, speed-exchange lanes, the number of main facility as well as geometry of the entrance from and exit to the main freeway facility. Traffic characteristics …
Learners’ Perceptions Of A Problem-Solving Approach On Their Mathematical Understanding In A Primary Mathematics Classroom In A School In Kinango Sub-County, Kwale County, Kenya. An Intervention Study Of Primary School In Kenya, Joseph Kisava Kilonzo
Master of Education
Many researchers have argued for the importance of problem solving in teaching mathematics. Relevant studies have focused on the role of the teacher as instructor and the teaching practices used by teachers teaching through problem solving. Most of these are western. The aim of this research study was to understand the influence of using a problem-solving approach in developing learners’ conceptual understanding in a mathematics classroom in a Kenyan private primary school. An intervention research study was adopted in a qualitative design since the study sought to examine and understand in a natural setting the implication of problem solving and …

Influence Of Decentralized Demand Driven Policy Of Teacher Recruitment In Kinango Sub County-Kenya, Kuphunza Bakari Makungu
Master of Education
The introduction of the decentralized demand driven policy of teacher recruitment in Kenya in 2001 was hoped to enhance equitable access to qualified teachers in all public schools of the republic of Kenya. The policy’s main target was the disadvantaged areas of the nation. This was influenced by the government’s inability to continue employing teachers through the centralized supply driven system and the realization of the need to employ teachers for the needy schools even though. What is the influence of the implementation of the decentralized demand driven policy of teacher recruitment in the schools of Kinango Sub County? This …

Teachers’ Provision Of Written Formative Feedback To Enhance Learning In A Secondary School: The Case Of An English Classroom In Uganda., Bagonza Justine
Master of Education
In the Ugandan education system, usually formative assessment and written formative feedback are synonymous with tests and examinations. As a result teachers tend to emphasize high grades and scores instead of the learners‟ learning. This study aimed at exploring the teachers‟ provision of written feedback on the learners‟ work in a senior one English language classroom in a secondary school in Eastern Uganda. Particularly the study considered the teachers‟ views about written feedback, how the written feedback the teachers provide on the learners‟ work enhances learning and the challenges that are faced by both the teachers and the learners during …
The Role Of Written Feedback In Enhancing Students’Mathematics Learning In Tanzanian Lower Secondary Schools: An Intervention Study At A Lower Secondary School In Bukoba Municipality, Tanzania, Evodius Jackson
Master of Education
This study examines the roles of written feedback in enhancing students‟ mathematics learning in Tanzanian lower secondary classrooms. Black and Wiliam (1998) pointed out that improved learning occurs when teachers use assessment evidence to establish skills and knowledge possessed by students. This can be achieved through giving meaningful feedback to students (Chappuis & Chappuis, 2007). An intervention study was conducted; the participants were the teachers and 7 students each from one form one and one form two class. Before the intervention, students filled out a questionnaire and the teachers were interviewed. The intervention, which included participant observation, involved the researcher …
