Do Firms Have Preferences In Hiring By Gender? Evidence From Kenya, Richard Agesa

Journal of African Policy Studies

While issues of employment segregation by gender have been extensively studied in developed countries of the West, few such studies have been conducted in the developing economies of Africa. This paper fills this gap by examining gender imbalances in hiring decisions by firms in non identical industries using the most recent data from Kenya. The findings suggest that women are more likely to find employment in agricultural based industries and in industries with tasks that require human contact. In contrast, men tend to be hired in industries that not only perform physically demanding tasks, but also require continued work experience.

Prediction Of The Digestible And Metabolizable Energy Content Of Forages From Their Chemical Composition And Organic Matter Digestibility, J Andrieu, C Demarquilly

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)

In France, the 'net energy' system (INRA, 1978) permits cal­culation of the net energy (NE) of a feed in an analytical manner: NE = GE x Ed x ME/DE x k

where GE, DE and ME are respectively the gross, digestible and metabolisable energy contents, Ed the energy digestibility and k the net availability of ME for lactation, maintenance or fattening. The publication of Feed Tables (Demarquilly et al., 1978) and their revision (Andrieu et al., 1988) led to re&.earch on whether it is possible to predict the different terms of this formula, at least as far as the ME, …

La Consommation De Matiere Sche De Fourrages Disponibles En Zone Tropicale, D Richard, H Guerin, G Roberge, D Friot

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)

Un certain nombre de publications fournissent des donnees sur les consommations de matiere seche (MS) des fourrages dans les regions intertropicales sans qu'il soit toujours possible de differencier les variations liees a la capacite d'ingestion de !'animal ou a l'ingestibilite du fourrage, facteurs conditionnant les quantites de matiere seche volontairement ingerees (MSVI). Par ailleurs, les donnees publiees pour un meme fourrage sont souvent tres variables ; par exemple, les quantites de MSVI de Digitaria decumbens extraites de 5 publications varient de plus de 40 p. 100 pour des repousses de meme age (Richard, 1987) sans qu'il soit possible d'identifier les …

The Journal of Advancing Education Practice

This qualitative study explores the persistent challenges facing graduate students in contemporary higher education, where attrition rates remain at approximately fifty percent. Through analysis of graduate student narratives and existing literature, this research identifies key barriers to degree completion including financial constraints, mental health challenges, online learning isolation, work-life balance issues, and academic preparation gaps. The study presents findings from direct student perspectives and offers institutional recommendations for improving graduate student retention and success.

Mental Health Awareness: Identify, Understand, Respond, Anita Boutwell

Group: Samford University Moffett & Sanders School of Nursing

Mental health awareness in community colleges is emerging as a critical concern with the increase in depression and anxiety among the students they serve. Rural colleges often serve a diverse population, many of whom have socioeconomic challenges, including financial instability and family responsibility. Within the State of Alabama, approximately 24.3% of young adults receiving Medicaid were diagnosed with depression and 61.8% did not receive any mental health care in 2020 (State of Alabama Public Health, 2022). In addition, Alabama’s suicide rate among young adults is ranked 13% above the national rate (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2024)

Investigating Teachers’ Perspectives On The Practices Of Public-School Inspections In The United Arab Emirates, Ruqaia Adel Haidara

Thesis/ Dissertation Defenses

This research paper investigates public school teachers’ perceptions of the effectiveness of school inspections in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Additionally, it examines the impact of teachers’ demographic factors on these perceptions. Data were collected using an online, structured, five-point Likert-scale survey distributed via email to teachers in UAE public schools by the Emirates Schools Establishment (ESE). A total of 218 teachers across the UAE participated in this study. The research focused on four key domains within the School Inspection Perception Framework (SIPF): Perceived Effectiveness of School Inspections (PESI), Perceived Effectiveness of School Inspection Training (PESIT), Perceived Credibility of School …
