Effectiveness of intrapartum azithromycin to prevent infections in planned vaginal births in low-income and middle-income countries: a post-hoc analysis of data from a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial - Carlo, Waldemar A; Tita, Alan T N; Moore, Janet L; Mwenechanya, Musaku; Chomba, Elwyn; Hemingway-Foday, Jennifer J; Kavi, Avinash; Metgud, Mrityunjay C; Goudar, Shivaprasad S; Derman, Richard J; Lokangaka, Adrien; Tshefu, Antoinette; et al. (Lancet Glob. Health, 2025)
Background: The use of azithromycin reduces maternal infection in women during unplanned cesarean delivery, but its effect on those with planned vaginal delivery is unknown. Data are needed on whether an intrapartum oral dose of azithromycin would reduce maternal and offspring sepsis or death. Methods: In this multicountry, placebo-controlled, randomized trial, we assigned women who were in labor at 28 weeks' gestation or more and who were planning a vaginal delivery to receive a single 2-g oral dose of azithromycin or placebo. The two primary outcomes were a composite of maternal sepsis or death and a composite of stillbirth or neonatal death or sepsis. During an interim analysis, the data and safety monitoring committee recommended stopping the trial for maternal benefit. Results: A total of 29,278 women underwent randomization. The incidence of maternal sepsis or death was lower in the azithromycin group than in the placebo group (1.6% vs. 2.4%), with a relative risk of 0.67 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.56 to 0.79; P<0.001), but the incidence of stillbirth or neonatal death or sepsis was similar (10.5% vs. 10.3%), with a relative risk of 1.02 (95% CI, 0.95 to 1.09; P = 0.56). The difference in the maternal primary outcome appeared to be driven mainly by the incidence of sepsis (1.5% in the azithromycin group and 2.3% in the placebo group), with a relative risk of 0.65 (95% CI, 0.55 to 0.77); the incidence of death from any cause was 0.1% in the two groups (relative risk, 1.23; 95% CI, 0.51 to 2.97). Neonatal sepsis occurred in 9.8% and 9.6% of the infants, respectively (relative risk, 1.03; 95% CI, 0.96 to 1.10). The incidence of stillbirth was 0.4% in the two groups (relative risk, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.74 to 1.53); neonatal death within 4 weeks after birth occurred in 1.5% in both groups (relative risk, 1.03; 95% CI, 0.86 to 1.24). Azithromycin was not associated with a higher incidence in adverse events. Conclusions: Among women planning a vaginal delivery, a single oral dose of azithromycin resulted in a significantly lower risk of maternal sepsis or death than placebo but had little effect on newborn sepsis or death.

Effectiveness of intrapartum azithromycin to prevent infections in planned vaginal births in low-income and middle-income countries: a post-hoc analysis of data from a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial - Carlo, Waldemar A; Tita, Alan T N; Moore, Janet L; Mwenechanya, Musaku; Chomba, Elwyn; Hemingway-Foday, Jennifer J; Kavi, Avinash; Metgud, Mrityunjay C; Goudar, Shivaprasad S; Derman, Richard J; A-PLUS Trial Group (The Lancet Global Health, 2025)
BACKGROUND: In 2023, the Azithromycin Prevention in Labor Use (A-PLUS) trial showed intrapartum azithromycin reduces maternal sepsis or death in women with planned vaginal delivery in low-resource settings, but whether it reduces maternal infection is unknown. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of intrapartum azithromycin in reducing maternal infection. METHODS: We performed a post-hoc analysis of the multicentre, facility-based, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled A-PLUS trial. This trial compared prophylactic intrapartum single oral dose of 2 g azithromycin versus placebo on maternal morbidity and mortality in low-resource settings in southeast Asia and Africa from Sept 9, 2020, to Aug 18, 2022. The trial enrolled women in labour at 28 weeks' gestation (or later) at eight sites in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Zambia, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Guatemala and found that azithromycin reduced the incidence of maternal sepsis or death. The primary outcome of the present analysis was the incidence of any maternal infection in the azithromycin versus placebo groups, which was defined as one or more of these infections after randomisation: chorioamnionitis, endometritis, perineal or caesarean wound infection, abdominopelvic abscess, mastitis or breast abscess, and other infections. Any neonatal infection was also analysed. All analyses were by intention to treat in all those with data available for that outcome. Relative risks (RRs) and 95% CIs were estimated with a Poisson model adjusted for treatment group and site. Subgroup analyses included a two-way interaction test between intervention group and subgroup. A-PLUS was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT03871491. FINDINGS: 29 278 women were randomly assigned to groups: 14 590 to receive azithromycin, 14 688 to receive placebo. Baseline characteristics were similar between the azithromycin and placebo groups (43·3% vs 43·4% primiparous, 8·5% vs 8·7% high risk for infection). The presence of any maternal infection occurred less often in the azithromycin group (580 [4·0%] of 14 558) compared with the placebo group (824 [5·6%] of 14 661 women; RR 0·71, 95% CI 0·64-0·79, p<0·0001). Any neonatal infection did not differ between treatment groups. Adverse events were not detected. INTERPRETATION: Among women planning vaginal delivery, this analysis provides evidence indicating that intrapartum azithromycin is associated with a lower incidence of maternal infections than placebo.

Association between psychosis and substance use in Kenya. Findings from the NeuroGAP-Psychosis study - Nguata, Monica; Orwa, James; Kigen, Gabriel; Kamaru, Edith; Emonyi, Wilfred; Kariuki, Symon; Newton, Charles; Ongeri, Linnet; Mwende,Rehema; Gichuru, Stella; Atwoli, Lukoye (Frontiers in PsychiatryFrontiers in Psychiatry, 2024)
Background: Substance use is prevalent among people with mental health issues, and patients with psychosis are more likely to use and misuse substances than the general population. Despite extensive research on substance abuse among the general public in Kenya, there is a scarcity of data comparing substance use among people with and without psychosis. This study investigates the association between psychosis and various substances in Kenya.Methods: This study utilized data from the Neuro-GAP Psychosis Case-Control Study between April 2018 and December 2022. The KEMRI-Wellcome Trust Research Programme recruited participants from various sites in Kenya, including Kilifi County, Malindi Sub-County, Port Reitz and Coast General Provincial Hospitals, and Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, as well as affiliated sites in Webuye, Kapenguria, Kitale, Kapsabet, and Iten Kakamega. The collected data included sociodemographic information, substance use, and clinical diagnosis. We used the summary measures of frequency (percentages) and median (interquartile range) to describe the categorical and continuous data, respectively. We examined the association between categorical variables related to psychosis using the chi-square test. Logistic regression models were used to assess the factors associated with the odds of substance use, considering all relevant sociodemographic variables.Results: We assessed a total of 4,415 cases and 3,940 controls. Except for alcohol consumption (p-value=0.41), all forms of substance use showed statistically significant differences between the case and control groups. Cases had 16% higher odds of using any substance than controls (aOR: 1.16, 95%CI: 1.05-1.28, p=0.005). Moreover, males were 3.95 times more likely to use any substance than females (aOR:3.95; 95%CI: 3.43-4.56). All the categories of living arrangements were protective against substance use.Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that psychotic illnesses are associated with an increased likelihood of using various substances. These findings are consistent with those of previous studies; however, it is crucial to investigate further the potential for reverse causality between psychosis and substance abuse using genetically informed methods.

A blended genome and exome sequencing method captures genetic variation in an unbiased, high-quality, and cost-effective manner - Boltz, Toni A; Chu, Benjamin B; Liao, Calwing; Sealock, Julia M; Ye, Robert; Majara, Lerato; Fu, Jack M; Service, Susan; Zhan, Lingyu; Medland, Sarah E; Chapman, Sinéad B.; Rubinacci, Simone; et al. (bioRxiv, 2024)
We deployed the Blended Genome Exome (BGE), a DNA library blending approach that generates low pass whole genome (1-4x mean depth) and deep whole exome (30-40x mean depth) data in a single sequencing run. This technology is cost-effective, empowers most genomic discoveries possible with deep whole genome sequencing, and provides an unbiased method to capture the diversity of common SNP variation across the globe. To evaluate this new technology at scale, we applied BGE to sequence >53,000 samples from the Populations Underrepresented in Mental Illness Associations Studies (PUMAS) Project, which included participants across African, African American, and Latin American populations. We evaluated the accuracy of BGE imputed genotypes against raw genotype calls from the Illumina Global Screening Array. All PUMAS cohorts had R2 concordance >=95% among SNPs with MAF>=1%, and never fell below >=90% R2 for SNPs with MAF<1%. Furthermore, concordance rates among local ancestries within two recently admixed cohorts were consistent among SNPs with MAF>=1%, with only minor deviations in SNPs with MAF<1%. We also benchmarked the discovery capacity of BGE to access protein-coding copy number variants (CNVs) against deep whole genome data, finding that deletions and duplications spanning at least 3 exons had a positive predicted value of \~{}90%. Our results demonstrate BGE scalability and efficacy in capturing SNPs, indels, and CNVs in the human genome at 28% of the cost of deep whole-genome sequencing. BGE is poised to enhance access to genomic testing and empower genomic discoveries, particularly in underrepresented populations.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.

Effectiveness and Nephrotoxicity of Polymyxin B among Intensive Care Unit Patients: A Clinical Evaluation - Moki, Claire; Kigen, Gabriel; Naftali Busakhala (African Journal of Pharmacy and Alternative Medicine, 2024)
Polymyxin B is a reserve antibiotic, but there has been an upsurge in its use due to a rise in multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria. However, nephrotoxicity and resistance concerns persist, with global resistance rates reaching 29%. Effectiveness of Polymyxin B (clinical and microbiological response) and the frequency of nephrotoxicity is not well documented in resource limited settings. Research is essential to guide optimization of Polymyxin B therapy and inform the adoption of measures for early detection of kidney injury to prevent damage. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Polymyxin B by evaluating clinical and microbiological responses and determining nephrotoxicity incidence using KDIGO criteria in ICU patients at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH). A prospective observational cohort study was conducted at MTRH ICUs between December 2021 and November 2022, on patients treated with Polymyxin B. Data on demographics, comorbidities, Polymyxin B dosage regimens, clinical responses, and microbiological results were collected. Descriptive statistics summarized patient characteristics, while associations between dosage regimens and outcomes were evaluated using Fisher's exact test and multivariate regression, with a p<0.05 considered statistically significant. Forty-four patients with a mean age of 48 years were included; 66% were male, and cerebrovascular disease was the most common comorbidity. All patients had multidrug-resistant gram-negative infections qualifying for Polymyxin B therapy. Most (89%) received monotherapy, with 86% achieving a good clinical response, 7% experiencing treatment failure, and 7% dying. Doses of 20,000–25,000 IU/Kg/day were associated with microbiological eradication and good clinical response (p<0.001), while 15,000 IU/Kg/day was associated with treatment failure. Acute kidney injury occurred in 48% of patients, with 68% developing hypomagnesemia. Polymyxin B at doses of between 20,000-25,000IU/Kg/day should be considered as a starting dose due to the association with good clinical response, with alternate-day monitoring of serum creatinine levels for early detection of nephrotoxicity.

Incidence And Factors Associated With Dexmedetomidine Induced Hypotension And Bradycardia At Moi Teaching And Referral Hospital Intensive Care Unit Eldoret, Kenya - Kamoet, Jully; Naftali Busakhala; Kigen, Gabriel (International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, 2024)
Background: Dexmedetomidine is the preferred drug for light sedation in intensive care units (ICU) where sedation plays an important role in patient comfort. Its advantages include shorter weaning time and earlier extubating from mechanical ventilation without respiratory depression. However, dexmedetomidine has been associated with over 50% incidence of hemodynamic adverse effects (hypotension and bradycardia) that has led to poor clinical outcomes. This limits its widespread use. Factors such as age, comorbidities, concomitant medications, dosage, baseline mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) have been associated with adverse effects. Despite the high number of reported adverse effects, there is limited data on incidence and associated factors in resource limited settings. Therefore, its burden at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) remains unknown. Knowledge on incidence and associated factors may inform future practice on safe use of dexmedetomidine at MTRH. Objective: To determine incidence and clinical factors associated with dexmedetomidine induced adverse effects among patients sedated with dexmedetomidine at MTRH ICU. Methods: This was a prospective observational study done at MTRH ICU. Hemodynamically stable eligible participants on dexmedetomidine were enrolled through census method between mid-April and mid-October 2022.The dependent variable was incidence of dexmedetomidine induced hemodynamic adverse effects. Data on MAP, HR were collected at selected time points within 24 hours. Independent variables which included factors such as age, gender, comorbidities, concomitant medication, renal, liver functions and drug dosages were obtained from patient records. Cutoff for hypotension was a MAP less than 60mmHg or a drop in MAP of 30% within the first hour, while bradycardia was a HR less than 60bpm or a drop in HR of 30% within first hour of drug administration. Continuous, data was summarized using means, medians and categorical data as frequencies and proportions. Fisher’s exact test and Kruskal Wallis test was used to assess for associations between categorical variables and continuous independent variables. The association between the clinical factors and development of dexmedetomidine induced hemodynamic adverse effects was analyzed using logistic regression model. Results: A total of 61 participants were recruited and 41% had traumatic brain injury. The mean age was 37 years and males were 63.9%. All participants had baseline HR>60bpm and MAP>60mmHg during drug initiation. Five patients (8.2%) developed hypotension and one (1.6%) developed bradycardia at the first hour. Mean baseline MAP was 90.49mmHg and mean decline was 5.16mmHg at 1hour. Mean baseline HR was 98.75bpm and mean decline was 0.91bpm within the first hour. Majority of patients received drug doses ranging from 0.2 to 0.7mcg/kg/hr for less than 24 hours. Lower baseline MAP <70mmHg was significantly associated with dexmedetomidine hemodynamic adverse effects (OR 2.17[95%CI 1.08-2.97, p<0.01]). However, there was no significant association between gender (0.21), baseline HR (0.88), comorbidities (0.19), concomitant medications (0.15), dose and duration (1), renal (0.28), liver functions (0.17) and occurrence of hemodynamic adverse effects. Conclusion: This study reported a low incidence of dexmedetomidine induced adverse effects compared to previous studies. Lower baseline MAP<70mmHg was an independent predictor of dexmedetomidine induced hypotension and bradycardia. Recommendations: Patients with lower baseline MAP<70mmHg and on dexmedetomidine should be monitored more frequently within the first hour.

Lipid Control and Factors Associated with LDL-C Control among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus on Statins in Western Kenya - Mungania, Joyster,; Kigen, Gabriel,; Kamuren, Zipporah,; Maritim, Alice (International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, 2024)
Background: Dyslipidemia is the presence of abnormal blood lipid parameters, characterized by increased LDL-C, triglycerides, and total cholesterol but reduced HDL-C. It is a common finding in patients with T2DM, occurring at a prevalence rate of between 70% and 85%, and promotes the development of long-term cardiovascular complications, which are the leading cause of mortality in this population. Statins are the first-line drugs, but lipid control varies from patient to patient despite being widely used.Objective: To assess lipid control and the factors associated with LDL-C control in patients with type 2 DM who are on statins at a national referral hospital in Western Kenya.Methods: A retrospective study on 211 patients with type 2 DM who had been on a statin for at least three months. Data was obtained from patient records and lipid measures categorized as controlled or uncontrolled based on the Kenya National Guidelines for the Management of Diabetes Mellitus, 2018. Chi-square and Fischer’s exact test determined the association between variables. A multivariate logistic regression model was fit for variables significant at the bivariate level, and a P value of <0.05 was considered significant.Results: Most (99%) were on a single lipid-lowering drug, mainly atorvastatin, and 92% were on moderate-intensity dosing. Regarding lipid control, 50.3% had uncontrolled LDL-C, 30% had uncontrolled HDL-C, and 47% had uncontrolled triglyceride levels. Being on a high-intensity statin increased the likelihood of LDL-C control compared to moderate-intensity dosing (OR 8.57 [95% CI 4.3-16.9, P<0.001]).Conclusion: LDL-C was the most poorly controlled parameter. Patients on high-intensity statins had better LDL-C control; therefore, high-intensity statin therapy should be initiated in diabetic patients who do not achieve their LDL-C targets.

Background: Pregnancy poses specific challenges in the diagnosis of Plasmodium falciparum infection due to parasite sequestration in the placenta. The diagnosis of Plasmodium falciparum infection in pregnant mothers therefore requires highly sensitive methods in order to detect the presence of parasites. These include those that detect the presence of antigens and those that detect and quantify the presence of the malaria parasites.Objective: The study assessed the performance of mRDT diagnostic test ((PfHRP2-RDT) in the detection of malaria infection in blood samples from nulliparous pregnant women within the first trimester of pregnancy in Western Kenya.Methods: This was a prospective study on blood specimens collected from pregnant women in a malaria-endemic region in Kenya. m-polymerase chain reaction (mPCR) and mRDT tests were performed. The diagnostic accuracy of m-RDT was compared with mPCR as the gold standard for the purpose of this study.Setting: Twelve primary health facilities in Busia, Bungoma and Kakamega Counties in KenyaResults: Out of 264 mPCR positive samples, 130 were mRDT positive (true positives) while 134 were mRDT negative (false negative). And out of 441 mPCR negative samples, 41 were positive on mRDT (false positive). Thus, in comparison with mPCR, the sensitivity and specificity of mRDT to detect malaria infection in nulliparous pregnant mothers in first trimester was 49.2% and 88.9% respectivelyConclusions: The sensitivity of mRDT to detect Plasmodium falciparum infections in nulliparous pregnant mothers in the first trimester was not satisfactory compared to mPCR tests.

Azithromycin to Prevent Sepsis or Death in Women Planning a Vaginal Birth - Tita, Alan T N; Carlo, Waldemar A; McClure, Elizabeth M; Mwenechanya, Musaku; Chomba, Elwyn; Hemingway-Foday, Jennifer J; Kavi, Avinash; Metgud, Mrityunjay C; Goudar, Shivaprasad S; Derman, Richard; Lokangaka, Adrien; Tshefu, Antoinette; et al. (N Engl J Med, 2023)
BACKGROUND: The use of azithromycin reduces maternal infection in women during unplanned cesarean delivery, but its effect on those with planned vaginal delivery is unknown. Data are needed on whether an intrapartum oral dose of azithromycin would reduce maternal and offspring sepsis or death. METHODS: In this multicountry, placebo-controlled, randomized trial, we assigned women who were in labor at 28 weeks' gestation or more and who were planning a vaginal delivery to receive a single 2-g oral dose of azithromycin or placebo. The two primary outcomes were a composite of maternal sepsis or death and a composite of stillbirth or neonatal death or sepsis. During an interim analysis, the data and safety monitoring committee recommended stopping the trial for maternal benefit. RESULTS: A total of 29,278 women underwent randomization. The incidence of maternal sepsis or death was lower in the azithromycin group than in the placebo group (1.6% vs. 2.4%), with a relative risk of 0.67 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.56 to 0.79; P<0.001), but the incidence of stillbirth or neonatal death or sepsis was similar (10.5% vs. 10.3%), with a relative risk of 1.02 (95% CI, 0.95 to 1.09; P = 0.56). The difference in the maternal primary outcome appeared to be driven mainly by the incidence of sepsis (1.5% in the azithromycin group and 2.3% in the placebo group), with a relative risk of 0.65 (95% CI, 0.55 to 0.77); the incidence of death from any cause was 0.1% in the two groups (relative risk, 1.23; 95% CI, 0.51 to 2.97). Neonatal sepsis occurred in 9.8% and 9.6% of the infants, respectively (relative risk, 1.03; 95% CI, 0.96 to 1.10). The incidence of stillbirth was 0.4% in the two groups (relative risk, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.74 to 1.53); neonatal death within 4 weeks after birth occurred in 1.5% in both groups (relative risk, 1.03; 95% CI, 0.86 to 1.24). Azithromycin was not associated with a higher incidence in adverse events. CONCLUSIONS: Among women planning a vaginal delivery, a single oral dose of azithromycin resulted in a significantly lower risk of maternal sepsis or death than placebo but had little effect on newborn sepsis or death.

Effect of Work life balance on Employee Performance in Trans Nzoia County Government, Kenya - Chebet, Lydia N.; Awino, Molly (Journal of Business, Economics and Management Research Studies, 2023)
This study investigates the connection between employee performance in the Trans Nzoia County government and work-life balance. Even though they receive significant funding from the National Treasury and other local sources, the majority of county governments in the nation struggle with employee underperformance, which manifests as failure to meet goals, tardiness, unjustified absences, and inadequate revenue collection. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory, developed by Abraham Maslow, served as the study's main theoretical foundation, and Dawis and Lloyd's Work Adjustment Theory served as its complement. A correlational survey design was used. All 102 members of the Department of Public Service Management in Trans Nzoia County made up the sample size. Primary data were gathered using a questionnaire.  To analyze the gathered data, descriptive and inferential statistics were both employed. As a result of the regression analysis, it was discovered that employee performance was highly impacted by work-life balance (1= 0.309, P value = 0.000–0.05). It was determined that employee performance is impacted by work-life balance. According to the study, county governments in Kenya should create efficient HRM policies to guarantee that work-life balance is welcomed to the point of balancing both the demands of the employee and the employer.

Risk of bleeding associated with outpatient use of rivaroxaban in VTE management at a national referral hospital in western Kenya - Njuguna, Dennis; Nwaneri, Francis; Prichard, Allyson C; Manji, Imran; Kigen, Gabriel; Naftali Busakhala; Nyanje, Samuel; O'Neil, Emily; Pastakia, Sonak D. (Clin. Appl. Thromb. Hemost., 2023)
There is limited data on the bleeding safety profile of direct oral anticoagulants, such as rivaroxaban, in low- and middle-income country settings like Kenya. In this prospective observational study, patients newly started on rivaroxaban or switching to rivaroxaban from warfarin for the management of venous thromboembolism (VTE) within the national referral hospital in western Kenya were assessed to determine the frequency of bleeding during treatment. Bleeding events were assessed at the 1- and 3-month visits, as well as at the end of follow-up. The International Society of Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH) and the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) criteria were used to categorize the bleeding events, and descriptive statistics were used to summarize categorical variables. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression model was used to calculate unadjusted and adjusted associations between patient characteristics and bleeding. The frequency of any type of bleeding was 14.4% (95% CI: 9.3%-20.8%) for an incidence rate of 30.9 bleeding events (95% CI: 20.1-45.6) per 100 patient-years of follow-up. The frequency of major bleeding was 1.9% while that of clinically relevant non-major bleeding was 13.8%. In the multivariate logistic regression model, being a beneficiary of the national insurance plan was associated with a lower risk of bleeding, while being unemployed was associated with a higher bleeding risk. The use of rivaroxaban in the management of VTE was associated with a higher frequency of bleeding. These findings warrant confirmation in larger and more targeted investigations in a similar population.

Adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices among smallholder farmers in Western Kenya: do socioeconomic, institutional, and biophysical factors matter? - Collins M. Musafiri; Milka Kiboi; Joseph Macharia; Onesmus K. Ng'etich; David K. Kosgei; Betty Mulianga; Michael Okoti; Felix K. Ngetich (Heliyon, 2022)
Rigorous efforts should be channeled to the current low adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices (CSAPs) in sub-Saharan African countries to improve food production. What determines the adoption level and intensity of CSAPs among smallholder farmers in Kenya? While considering their joint adoption, smallholder farmers' CSAPs adoption determinants were assessed based on a sample size of 300 smallholder farmers in Western Kenya. The CSAPs considered were animal manure, soil water conservation, agroforestry, crop diversification, and crop-livestock integration. A multivariate and ordered probit models were used to assess the determinants of joint adoption of CSAPs in Western Kenya. Both complements and substitutes between CSAPs were established. The multivariate probit analysis revealed that household head's gender, education, age, family size, contact with extension agents, access to weather information, arable land, livestock owned, perceived climate change, infertile soil, and persistent soil erosion influenced CSAPs adoption. The ordered probit model revealed that gender, arable land, livestock owned, soil fertility, and constant soil erosion were crucial determinants of CSAPs adoption. The findings implied that policymakers and relevant stakeholders should consider farmer, institutional, and biophysical factors in upscaling or promoting the adoption of CSAPs.

A Deep Reinforcement Learning Approach to Modelling an Intrusion Detection Sustem Using Asynchronous Advantage Actor-Critic (A3C) Algorithm - Junior Kiplimo Yego; Kiget, Nicholas Kipkurui; Daniel Samoei (Journal of Research Innovation and Implications in Education, 2022)
An increase in growth and use of the internet has also resulted in attacks evolving and more novel attacks having a devastating effect are witnessed. The Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is yet to achieve maximum success due to false positives and low detection. The purpose of the study was to determine the modelling of an intrusion detection system using the Asynchronous Advantage Actor-Critic (A3C) Algorithm. In this paper we look at the following: (i) To evaluate the current machine learning techniques being used in IDS, (ii) To determine the effectiveness of using the Asynchronous Advantage Actor-Critic algorithm in anomaly detection, (iii) To select the appropriate training data set and prepare for use on A3C. A conceptual study was done in looking at these objectives. The UNSW_TRAIN and UNSW_TEST were samples selected by purposive sampling from the whole population of UNSW-NB15 dataset. Analysis of the dataset was done using Python. Key findings were that anomaly detection approach is the best approach due to its ability to detect novel attacks. Also, there is need to continue research on intrusion detection and improve solutions to the problem of false positives and fully optimize on accuracy. The UNSW-NB15 dataset is comprehensive and so all the attack types should be used so as to accurately depict the intrusions and should selected attack types be used, feature selection should be done accurately so as to reflect modern attack types.

Does the adoption of minimum tillage improve sorghum yield among smallholders in Kenya? A counterfactual analysis - Collins M. Musafiri; Milka Kiboi; Joseph Macharia; Onesmus K. Ng'etich; Michael Okoti; Betty Mulianga; David K. Kosgei; Felix K. Ngetich (Soil and Tillage Research, 2022)
Climate change is a major drawback to food security in most developing countries. Promoting minimum tillage and climate-smart crops is essential in mitigating and adapting to climate shocks. However, information on the impacts of minimum tillage on crop productivity under farmers' conditions is limited in Western Kenya. We assessed the effects of minimum tillage adoption on sorghum productivity among smallholder sorghum farmers in Western Kenya. We used household survey data collected from 300 smallholder farmers and performed an endogenous switching regression model to analyze the effects of minimum tillage adoption on sorghum yields. The results revealed that the adoption of minimum tillage increased sorghum yields by 11%, from 1163 to 1146 kg ha−1. The occupation of the household head, acreage, soil fertility perception, and farm credit significantly and positively determined minimum tillage adoption. The remittance, agricultural associations, weather information, and site negatively and significantly determined minimum tillage adoption. Our findings suggest that minimum tillage adoption under drought-tolerant crops such as sorghum could improve community wellbeing through increased crop productivity, notwithstanding the changing climate and associated weather shocks.
