The Labour dynamics in the European single market
(Strathmore University, 2018)This study examines the impact that the introduction of the European single market has had on the unemployment rates and the level of wages in member countries of the European Union. The study seeks to obtain indicators ... -
Laguerre Polynomials and singular differential operators
This paper is concerned with the connections between the orthogonal polynomials and the differential operators generated by the Laguerre differential equation of Ten in the space L' (0, w ). However, for the left definite ... -
Lecturers’ facilitation of students’ learning; not a just technique
Evidence suggests that majority of students tend to adopt surface approaches while studying at university. And over time the students’ motivation level tends to decrease. Therefore the onus to ensure that students consistently ... -
A logistic regression analysis of the factors that determine the odds of undergraduate students dropping out: a case study of Strathmore University
(Strathmore University, 2015)This paper adopts a binomial logistic regression model in analysis of individual attributes that determine the likelihood of completing a full time undergraduate degree program. The analysis is based on a case study of ... -
Long term implications of early access to pension benefits - the case of Kenya
(Strathmore University, 2014)In July 2009, a bill was introduced that allowed members of a pension scheme to access their contributions and 50% of their employer's contribution. This change in law resulted to increased early access of pension funds ... -
Longevity risk and the econometric analysis of mortality trends and volatility
Longevity risk and the modeling of trends and volatility for mortality improvement has attracted increased attention driven by ageing populations around the world and the expected financial implications. The original ... -
Loss distributions for motor insurance claim severity in Kenya
(Strathmore University, 2021)The insurance industry is one of the oldest industries. Insurance companies exist to provide indemnity and make profits since insurance is a business like any other. The advancement of the insurance market is compelled ... -
Macroeconomic determinants of SME performance in Kenya
(Strathmore University, 2020)This paper explores the relationship between SME performance, as measured by growth in total annual sales, growth in the number of permanent full-time employees and capacity utilization, and macroeconomic factors- the ... -
Macroeconomic factors and the predictability of stock returns in Kenya
(Strathmore University, 2017)The stock market is an anchor to the financial l sector, providing a platform for user s and suppliers of financial instruments for investment purposes in the stocks of companies. In a well-functioning market investors ... -
Managing chronic conditions through hosted medical records in Kenya
Complex medical conditions are rising in developing countries at very alarming rates. E.g. projections from the World Health Organization’s global burden of disease and risk factors report chronic diseases are responsible ... -
Market efficiency and its consequences on profit warnings in the Nairobi Stock Exchange
(Strathmore University, 2014-03-09)My project comes up with a very interesting implication on academia and in practice I studied the occurrence of a profit warning in the NSE. It is important not to look at events in isolation but rather a general assessment ... -
Mathematical model for HIV and CD4+ cells dynamics in vivo
Mathematical models are used to provide insights into the mechanisms and dynamics of the progression of viral infection in vivo. Untangling the dynamics between HIV and CD4+ cellular populations and molecular interactions ... -
Mathematical Modeling for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Transmission using Generating Function Approach
(Strathmore university, 2009)This study is concerned with the mathematical modeling for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission epidemics. The mathematical models are specified by stochastic differential equations that are solved by use of ... -
Mathematical modelling of In-vivo HIV optimal therapy and management
(Strathmore University, 2018)Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) remains the main cause of premature death globally. In 2013, Kenya was the fourth largest endemic HIV country in the world having over 1.6 million people living with the virus. The fact ... -
Mathematical modelling of the efficacy and toxicity of cancer chemotherapy
(Strathmore University, 2017)From available literature, there is strong evidence that the growth of tumours is to a great extent influenced by the cellular response of the immune system in addition to the therapy administered. While chemotherapy ... -
Mathematical models for hepatocytic-erythrocytic dynamics and therapeutic control of malaria
(Strathmore University, 2020)Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by parasites of the genus Plasmodium. Mortality and morbidity due to malaria infection is a serious burden to malaria endemic countries. Despite the many years of ...
