Role of Camels (Camelus Dromedarius) in the Traditional Lifestyle of Somali Pastoralists in Northern Kenya - A.Y. Guliye; I.M. Noor; Bebe, B.O.; IS Kosgey (Outlook on Agriculture, 2007)
This paper describes the role of the camel in shaping and supporting the pastoral economy and culture of the Somali community in northern Kenya. Over 70% of Kenya's land mass consists of arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) of low agricultural potential, and northern Kenya falls within this region. Extensive livestock grazing, in a nomadic pastoral production system, is the most suitable means of utilizing ASALs. Of the many nomadic communities living in northern Kenya, the Somali tribe is perhaps the largest keeping mainly camels, but also cattle and small stock (sheep and goats). Camels are well adapted to the harsh conditions of the ASALs. In the Somali pastoral lifestyle, camels play multiple roles, of which milk production is perhaps the most important. Camel meat is a delicacy not to be missed during festivities. Male camels are also used for transportation of water, and of household items when families move to new grazing sites within the range. In addition, camels have an important role in traditional social relations, such as in payment of a dowry, and in compensation of injured parties in clan feuds. In the Somali culture, camel ownership (in terms of herd size) is an indication of social status. Also, in the Somali traditional economy, camels are the main reserve stock, and therefore act as a store of wealth and security against drought, disease and other natural calamities.

Social and Cultural Significance of the Sexual Cleansing Ritual and its Impact on HIV Prevention Strategies in Western Kenya - Ayikukwei, Rose Mmboga; Ngare, Duncan; Sidle, John E.; Ayuku, David O.; Baliddawa, Joyce; Greene, James Y. (Sexuality and Culture, 2007)
Traditional cultural practices and sexual rituals have an important role in the life and structure of tribal groups within Kenya. These cultural practices and rituals also play a significant role in the spread of HIV. The purpose of this descriptive qualitative study was to document the underlying social and cultural significance of the sexual cleansing ritual and to assess its impact on HIV prevention strategies. The study participants were selected by purposive and snowball sampling. Data were collected using in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and observations; they were analyzed using content analysis. The article gives detailed explanations of the meanings and symbols of the ritual in its cultural context as a ritual of social transition. Sexual intercourse is perceived as a sacred rite when performed as a ritual. It is associated with most social cultural activities like planting, harvesting, weddings and burial ceremonies. The underlying intention of this ritual is to cleanse evil spirits and to sanctify. Widows who are not cleansed are ostracized and discriminated. The continued practice of the ritual is perpetuated by a shared common belief system that affects social interactions of the community members. Widows and cleansers are believed to be purveyors of the HIV virus. The ritual encourages unprotected sex with multiple partners. These are barriers to HIV prevention strategies that are aimed at changing sexual behaviors.

{Post traumatic stress disorder among Mau Mau concentration camp survivors in Kenya} - Atwoli, L.; Kathuku, D. M.; DM Ndetei (East African Medical Journal, 2006)
Background: A decade before Kenya's independence in 1963 thousands of 'Mau Mau' fighters were arrested and incarcerated in concentration camps where many underwent torture and inhuman treatment. No studies have been done to establish the presence of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other psychiatric morbidity among the survivors of those concentration camps. Objectives: To establish the prevalence of PTSD and other psychiatric morbidity and associated factors among the Mau Mau Concentration Camp survivors. Design: A cross-sectional, descriptive study of all consecutive concentration camp survivors included in the study. Setting: Mau Mau War Veterans' Association (MMWVA) headquarters at Mwea House, Nairobi, Kenya Human Rights Commission headquarters in Nairobi, Tumaini House (Venue of MMWVA elections, 2005) and the MMWVA branch office in Kajiado District, Rift Valley Province, Kenya. Subjects: One hundred and eighty one Mau Mau Concentration Camp Survivors who gave consent to participate in the study. Main outcome measures: Lifetime and Current PTSD, IES-R score and other Psychiatric Morbidity as measured using the SCID and the IES-R. Results: A DSM-IV-TR diagnosis of current PTSD was made in 65.7{%} of the survivors. Current PTSD was associated with higher IES-R scores and older age, lower income, non-Catholic religion, larger household size, older age at incarceration, greater length of incarceration, incarceration in two or more camps, experiencing other traumatic events, family history of mental illness and having other psychiatric illness. Conclusions: Similar to other former Prisoners of War (POWs) elsewhere, these survivors suffer high PTSD prevalence rates and a special veterans' service is recommended to address this problem and its associated factors among these and other veterans in Kenya.

Successes and failures of small ruminant breeding programmes in the tropics: a review - IS Kosgey; RL Baker; HMJ Udo; J.A.M. Van Arendonk (Small Ruminant Research, 2006)
Despite the large numbers and importance of adapted indigenous sheep and goats in the tropics, information on sustainable conventional breeding programmes for them is scarce and often unavailable. This paper reviews within-breed selection strategies for indigenous small ruminants in the tropics, highlighting aspects determining their success or failure. The aim is to better understand opportunities for genetic improvement of small ruminants by the resource-poor farmers in traditional smallholder and pastoral farming systems. Dismal performance of programmes involving breed substitution of exotics for indigenous breeds and crossbreeding with temperate breeds have stimulated a recent re-orientation of breeding programmes in tropical countries to utilize indigenous breeds, and most programmes are incipient. The success rate of some breeding programmes involving native breeds is encouraging. Definition of comprehensive breeding objectives incorporating the specific, immediate, and long-term social and economic circumstances of the target group as well as ecological constraints was found lacking in some projects that failed. To achieve success, it is necessary to look at the production system holistically, and involve the producer at every stage in the planning and operation of the breeding programme, integrating traditional behaviour and values.

Uptake of Fluoride by Al3+ Pretreated Low‐Silica Synthetic Zeolites: Adsorption Equilibrium and Rate Studies - Maurice S. Onyango; Yoshiro Kojima; Anil Kumar; Dalibor Kuchar; Mitsuhiro Kubota; Hitoki Matsuda (Separation Science and Technology, 2006)
Abstract The removal of fluoride from single component aqueous solution using Al3+‐ pretreated low‐silica synthetic zeolites (Al‐Na‐HUD, Al‐HUD, Al‐F9, and Al‐A4) was studied. The effects of adsorbent mass, initial solution pH, and initial concentration on fluoride removal in a batch system were evaluated. Equilibrium data were simulated using simple isotherms such as the Freundlich (F), Langmuir‐Freundlich (LF), Redlich‐Peterson (RP) and Dubinin‐Radushkevitch (DR) isotherms. From the DR model, initial pH effects and desorption studies, it was considered that the fluoride adsorption onto the zeolites proceeded by ion‐exchange or chemisorption mechanism. In interpreting the kinetic results, reaction kinetics (using Elovich equation) and mass transfer processes (both external mass transfer and intraparticle diffusion) were considered. Equilibrium and kinetic results of fluoride adsorption onto the adsorbents demonstrated the following order of performance: Al‐Na‐HUD>Al‐F9> Al‐HUD>Al‐A4.

Evaluation of closed adult nucleus multiple ovulation and embryo transfer and conventional progeny testing breeding schemes for milk production in tropical crossbred cattle - IS Kosgey; Kahi, A.K.; JAM Van Arendonk (Journal of dairy science, 2005)

Evaluation of Closed Adult Nucleus Multiple Ovulation and Embryo Transfer and Conventional Progeny Testing Breeding Schemes for Milk Production in Tropical Crossbred Cattle - IS Kosgey; Kahi, A.K.; J.A.M. Van Arendonk (Journal of Dairy Science, 2005)
The potential benefits of closed adult nucleus multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET) and conventional progeny testing (CNS) schemes, and the logistics of their integration into large-scale continuous production of crossbred cattle were studied by deterministic simulation. The latter was based on F1 (Bos taurus × Bos indicus) production using AI or natural mating and MOET, and continuous F2 production by mating of F1 animals. The gene flow and the cumulative discounted expressions (CDES) were also calculated. Both schemes had 8, 16, 32, or 64 dams with 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 sires selected. In the MOET nucleus scheme (MNS), the test capacity was 1, 2, 8, or 16 offspring, and the number of matings per dam per year was 1, 2, or 4. A scheme of 8 sires with 64 dams and a test capacity of 4 female offspring per dam per year resulted in an annual genetic gain (in phenotypic standard deviation) of 0.324 and 0.081 for MNS and CNS, respectively. In the MNS, there was substantial genetic gain with a relatively small number of animals compared with a CNS. The F1 had the highest, and the F2 scheme the lowest CDES. However, a very large number of B. indicus females would be required in the F1 scheme. This scheme may not be practical under conditions in developing countries. The F2 scheme was logistically attractive because it produces its own replacements, and the number of B. taurus females required would be easy to attain. Accompanying technical and financial constraints of nucleus schemes should be addressed before applying them.

Sustainable Community-Based Organizations for the Genetic Improvement of Livestock in Developing Countries - Kahi, A.K.; T.O. Rewe; IS Kosgey (Outlook on Agriculture, 2005)
Livestock industries in developing countries face numerous constraints that have often hampered the establishment and sustainability of national genetic-improvement programmes. One major inadequacy in a number of programmes previously developed was that livestock owners were not taken into account in decision making and ownership of improvement initiatives. No matter how much effort is put into financial and technological support, the eventual survival of improvement programmes depends on whether the farmers understood and agreed with the objective of the projects. Otherwise, programmes tend to fade away as soon as the development agencies leave. Community ownership of genetic-improvement programmes has been suggested as a potentially sustainable alternative. In this paper, the establishment and sustainability of community-based organizations for the genetic improvement of livestock (CBOGIL) are discussed with reference to some successful community-based genetic-improvement initiatives in different livestock species.

Most of the street-based children are not educated beyond primary school and their living conditions are based on begging and doing odd jobs in the market and streets. Forty-six percent of the on-the-street children live with one parent, and 97 percent of the of-the-street children have lost contact with their parents. The on-the-street children have a higher percentage of family sector networks than the of-the-street children and the shelter or institutionalized children. Generally, school children still have strong family ties.

The correlation amplitude for the quasi-particles in high Tsub c superconductors has been deduced. From this amplitude, the maximum critical transition temperature has been calculated. The assumption, which has been made is that, the superconductivity is due to condensation of electron pairs, which may be in a parallel spin-state, an antiparallel spin-state, or a mixture of the two states. It has been established that the maximum transition temperature in the optical phonon frequency is Tsub c = 262.6 K irrespective of the state of the electron pair. (author)

Economic values for traits in breeding objectives for sheep in the tropics: impact of tangible and intangible benefits - Isaac S. Kosgey; Johan A.M Van Arendonk; R.Leyden Baker (Livestock Production Science, 2004)
In traditional management systems in the tropics, sheep constitute a source of easily convertible capital for financing purposes and insurance, a means of cultural and ceremonial functions, and a source of prestige, meat, manure and skins. In this study, breeding objectives were derived for an indigenous tropical sheep breed under pastoral production. Economic values were calculated for five situations: (i) base accounting for both tangible and intangible roles of sheep; (ii) accounting for manure, skins and intangible roles; (iii) accounting for 20% of animals sold, insurance, manure and skins; (iv) accounting for intangible roles only; and (v) accounting for tangible roles only. Sensitivity analysis to different levels of financing and insurance benefit factors, reproduction, survival and live weight traits was performed for the situation accounting for both tangible and intangible roles, and with a constant number of ewes. The economic value for a trait considered in a particular situation was calculated from the difference between the average performance level of the trait before and after incrementing it by one unit. The traits considered were litter size, lambing frequency, pre-weaning and post-weaning lamb survival to 12 months, ewe survival, 12-month lamb live weight, mature ewe live weight, consumable meat and kg manure dry matter sold ewe−1 year−1. Generally, in descending order of the profits and economic values, the situations studied ranked as follows: (i), (v), (iii), (ii) and (iv). For the base situation, financing and insurance benefits accounted for 13% and 6% of the total revenues, respectively. Situation (v) had a profit that was about 35% lower relative to situation (i). In terms of genetic standard deviations, the economic values (US$ ewe−1 year−1) for the base situation were: 2.81 for litter size, 6.40 for lambing frequency, 0.02 for pre-weaning survival, 0.03 for post-weaning survival, 0.05 for ewe survival, 1.81 for 12-month lamb live weight, 0.43 for mature ewe live weight, 0.09 for consumable meat and 0.01 for kg manure dry matter sold (ewe−1 year−1). The economic values indicate that litter size, lambing frequency and 12-month lamb live weight are likely to be important traits in pastoral production. Sensitivity analysis showed that future economic values for all the traits considered, except kg manure dry matter sold ewe−1 year−1, might change depending on levels of intangible benefit factors. Ewe survival and mature ewe live weight were not responsive to changes in reproductive traits, and pre- and post-weaning traits, and vice versa. It is concluded that it is necessary to include the intangible roles of sheep in tropical breeding programmes.

Engineering Education in African Universities: A Case for Internationalization - A. Kumar; Ochieng, Aoyi; Maurice S. Onyango (Journal of Studies in International Education, 2004)
Engineering education is getting global. This article assesses the present scenario in engineering education, which is undergoing a paradigm shift because of the Internet, innovation, and internationalization. The influence of information technology, industrial development, national politics, and economic policies on internationalization of engineering education has been discussed. Quality control and accreditation practices in some countries have been reviewed, and a link between technology advancement and engineering curricula has been drawn. A stable political and economic system is necessary to retain the highly qualified African engineers who are the drivers of the engineering education toward achieving this goal.
