{Substance use among inmates at the Eldoret prison in Western Kenya} - Kinyanjui, D.W.C.; Atwoli, L. (BMC Psychiatry, 2013)
Background: Criminal activity and social problems are recognized as important outcomes of substance use and abuse. Little research has been carried out on substance use among prison inmates in Kenya. General population surveys that have examined drug use usually omit this 'hidden' population which may offer insight into drug related morbidity and invaluable preventive measures. This study is set out to determine the lifetime prevalence and factors associated with substance use, including the most frequently used substances, among inmates at a government prison in Western Kenya.Methods: Design: A cross-sectional descriptive study, using the WHO model questionnaire and an additional drug use and effects questionnaire among prisoners at the Eldoret Government of Kenya (GK) prison, Kenya.Setting: Study was carried out at the Eldoret G.K. prison, with a population of 1325 (1200 males and 125 females) inmates.Subjects: Three hundred and ninety five prisoners, who gave consent, were selected, consisting of 271 males (68.6{%}) selected by simple random sampling, and 124 females (31.4{%}) enrolled consecutively due to their small number. The mean age was 33.3 years (18-72, s.d. 9.8) while the mean number of years of formal education was 8.4 (0-15, s.d. 3.4).Results: Lifetime prevalence of substance use was 66.1{%}, while that of alcohol use was 65.1{%}. Both were significantly associated with male gender, urban residence and higher level of education. The lifetime prevalence of cigarette use was 32.7{%} while 22.5{%} admitted to chewing tobacco. Factors significantly associated with tobacco use were male gender, urban residence, being unmarried, younger age, lack of income in the past year. The prevalence of cannabis use was 21{%}, and this was associated with male gender, urban residence, being unmarried, and being a student in the past year. Other substances used included amphetamines (9.4{%}), volatile inhalants (9.1{%}), sedatives (3.8{%}), tranquillizers (2.3{%}), cocaine (2.3{%}), and heroine (1.3{%}). Users were commonly introduced to the habit by friends (70.8{%}), immediate family members (13.7{%}) and other close relatives (6.2{%}). Among those who reported lifetime substance use the common reasons attributed to the habit were the need to relax (26.5{%}), relieve stress (24.5{%}) and confidence to commit a crime (4.5{%}). Majority of those who reported alcohol use were already suffering ill effects.Conclusions: There is a high prevalence of substance use among prisoners at the Eldoret G.K. prison. The increased morbidity and unpleasant psychosocial consequences of this habit suggest a need for establishment of substance use management programmes in Kenyan prisons. © 2013 Kinyanjui and Atwoli; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.

Taking Stock of the Ethical Foundations of International Health Research: Pragmatic Lessons from the IU–Moi Academic Research Ethics Partnership - Meslin, Eric M.; Edwin Were; Ayuku, David (Journal of General Internal Medicine, 2013)
It is a sine qua non that research and health care provided in international settings raise profound ethical questions when different cultural and political values are implicated. Yet ironically, as international health research expands and as research on ethical issues in international health research broadens and deepens, we appear to have moved away from discussing the moral foundations of these activities. For international health research to thrive and lead to the kind of benefits it is capable of, it is helpful to occasionally revisit the foundational premises that justify the enterprise as a whole. We draw on the experience of the Indiana University–Moi University Academic Research Ethics Partnership, an innovative bioethics training program co-located in Indianapolis and Eldoret, Kenya to highlight the changing nature of ethical issues in international health research and the ongoing practical challenges.

Background: South Africa's unique history, characterised by apartheid, a form of constitutional racial segregation and exploitation, and a long period of political violence and state-sponsored oppression ending only in 1994, suggests a high level of trauma exposure in the general population. The aim of this study was to document the epidemiology of trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the South African general population.Methods: The South African Stress and Health Study is a nationally representative survey of South African adults using the WHO's Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) to assess exposure to trauma and presence of DSM-IV mental disorders.Results: The most common traumatic events were the unexpected death of a loved one and witnessing trauma occurring to others. Lifetime and 12-month prevalence rates of PTSD were 2.3{%} and 0.7{%} respectively, while the conditional prevalence of PTSD after trauma exposure was 3.5{%}. PTSD conditional risk after trauma exposure and probability of chronicity after PTSD onset were both highest for witnessing trauma. Socio-demographic factors such as sex, age and education were largely unrelated to PTSD risk.Conclusions: The occurrence of trauma and PTSD in South Africa is not distributed according to the socio-demographic factors or trauma types observed in other countries. The dominant role of witnessing in contributing to PTSD may reflect the public settings of trauma exposure in South Africa and highlight the importance of political and social context in shaping the epidemiology of PTSD. © 2013 Atwoli et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.

Involving vulnerable pediatric populations in international research requires culturally appropriate ethical protections. We sought to use mabaraza, traditional East African community assemblies, to understand how a community in western Kenya viewed participation of children in health research and informed consent and assent processes. Results from 108 participants revealed generally positive attitudes towards involving vulnerable children in research, largely because they assumed children would directly benefit. Consent from parents or guardians was understood as necessary for participation while gaining child assent was not. They felt other caregivers, community leaders, and even community assemblies could participate in the consent process. Community members believed research involving orphans and street children could benefit these vulnerable populations, but would require special processes for consent.

Determinants of Net Interest Margins of Commercial Banks in Kenya: A Panel Study - Daniel K Tarus; Yonas B Chekol; Milcah Mutwol (Procedia Economics and Finance, 2012)
This study investigates the determinants of net interest margin of commercial banks in Kenya using secondary data. We apply pooled and fixed effects regression to a panel of 44 Kenyan banks that covers the period 2000-2009. The estimation results show that operating expenses and credit risk has a positive and significant effect on net interest margin of the commercial banks in Kenya. The paper also finds that the higher the inflation, the wider the net interest margin, while growth and market concentration a have negative effect on net interest margin.

Economic values for disease resistance traits in dairy goat production systems in Kenya - Bett, R. C.; Gicheha, M.G.; IS Kosgey; Kahi, A.K.; K.J. Peters (Small Ruminant Research, 2012)
This study estimated economic values (EVs) for disease resistance traits for dairy/crossbred goats in Kenya. The traits mean somatic cell count (SCC, cells/μl) and faecal worm egg count (FEC, epg) were taken as indicator traits for the most prevalent diseases in the smallholder farms i.e., mastitis and helminthiosis, respectively. Economic weights were objectively assigned to these indicator traits in a selection index such that the overall gains in the breeding objective traits were maximised. Four options for calculating EVs for SCC and FEC were considered. Option 1, response from single trait selection was set equivalent to index response for the trait. Option 2, response from single trait selection was set equivalent to maximum gains achievable. Option 3, level of FEC/SCC was set to zero; and option 4, response in FEC/SCC was set to the minimum gains achievable. In all the options, EVs with/without risk for breeding objective traits 12-month live weight (LW-kg); ADG, average post-weaning daily gain (ADG-g); DMY, average daily milk yield (DMY-kg) were used. For each production trait selected for improvement, a less positive response in the traits FEC and SCC would be desirable. Maximum negative EVs were achieved at a point where the response in SCC was set at zero (option 3) while EVs for SCC were zero when response for DMY was maximised (option 2). In addition, considerable differences in EVs for SCC were obtained when EVs with/without risk were used. Similar results were also observed for FEC when LW was the objective of improvement. However, more positive EVs for FEC were estimated relative to ADG and DMY. The results confirm that there is a scope to incorporate disease resistance traits in a breeding program with objective of reducing disease incidences and the costs of disease control.

Heterogeneous Basic Catalysts For Transesterification Of Vegetable Oils: A Review - A. Kumar; Simon Osembo; Saul Namango; Kirimi Kiriamiti (Proceedings of Sustainable Research and Innovation Conference, 2012)
Biodiesels are biofuels made from renewable sources such as vegetable oils originating from plants and animal fats. Transesterification reaction is carried out by reacting triglycerides in oil/fat with an alcohol in presence of a catalyst. Important process variables are reaction temperature, time, reactant concentration and the catalyst. Catalysts can be homogeneous or heterogeneous. Homogeneous catalysts are liquid phase ionic acid and base, enzymes, and non-ionic organic base compounds. Heterogeneous catalysts are acid and base type. Examples of acid heterogeneous catalysts are ion-exchange resins, tungstated and sulphated zirconia, metal complexes and zeolite. Base heterogeneous catalysts consist of metal oxides in pure form or over support, zeolites, clays and nonoxides. Paper gives a brief introduction of catalytic transesterification process and a detailed review of solid basic catalysts. It is found that these catalysts are selective to feed and preparation method. Acid solid catalysts are suitable for high free fatty acid feed. Basic solid catalyst give a better yield compared to acid solid catalysts but lead to soap formation if feed has high free fatty acid.
Keywords: Biodiesel; heterogeneous catalysis; solid base catalyst; transesterification
