Abstract: Over the next decade, substantial extensions of the transmission infrastructure in Kenya and related investments are needed in order to accommodate increasing loads and generation of renewable electricity in line with policy targets. Overhead lines (OHL) are the reference technology for transmission of electrical power. However, the construction of new OHL and general reinforcement of the transmission system requires acquisition of way leave easement which raises considerable concerns to local communities and have cost implications especially with skyrocketing prices of land in Kenya.
The feasibility of optimal design of OHL to reduce right of way width and potential technology alternatives to OHL is likely to be discussed publicly in all future transmission development proposals. In response to these concerns, the Board of Directors, Kenya Electricity Transmission Company Ltd commissioned a Study on optimal design of OHL for transmission of electrical power.

Recent concerns of the public about possible health effects of magnetic fields has resulted in an increased emphasis on the use of compact transmission lines as a means of managing (i.e. reducing) magnetic fields. This paper examines how compact transmission configurations and optimal conductor selection will result in reduction of way leave corridor.

Abstract: The study aimed to find out the efficiency of a MOODLE supported teaching environment for enhancing learning in General Psychology. MOODLE is a free online course management system.  Four classes were matched based on the result of a diagnostic test. Two classes were assigned to a MOODLE environment teaching on selected topics for the duration of a semester while the other two went to the classroom environment group without access to resources in MOODLE. Both groups yielded very significant difference between their pretest and posttest scores. In the MOODLE enviroment group, a mean difference of 3 points was consistent for the three grading periods with the highest confidence interval of 2 to 4 points. In the classroom environment group, the highest mean difference was 4 points with a confidence interval of 3 to 5 points. Comparing the posttest scores of the MOODLE and the classroom groups, a significant difference was noted in the last grading period with the MOODLE group scoring 2 points higher. These indicate that learning in the classroom with interaction between teacher and other learners resulted to higher scores in a quiz compared to learning the topic by plain access to MOODLE uploaded resources. However, efficacy and confidence in using the computer to access resources in MOODLE that happened over time gives students better chance in getting a high score in a quiz of knowledge and comprehension.

Abstract: Nowadays verifying the result of the remote computation plays a crucial role in addressing in issue of trust. The outsourced data collection comes for multiple data sources to diagnose the originator of errors by allotting each data sources a unique secrete key which requires the inner product conformation to be performed under any two parties different keys. The proposed methods outperform AISM technique to minimize the running time. The multi-key setting is given different secrete keys, multiple data sources can be upload their data streams along with their respective verifiable homomorphic tag. The AISM consist of three novel join techniques depending on the ADS availability: (i) Authenticated Indexed Sort Merge Join (AISM), which utilizes a single ADS on the join attribute, (ii) Authenticated Index Merge Join (AIM) that requires an ADS (on the join attribute) for both relations, and (iii) Authenticated Sort Merge Join (ASM), which does not rely on any ADS. The client should allow choosing any portion in the data streams for queries. The communication between the client and server is independent of input size. The inner product evaluation can be performed by any two sources and the result can be verified by using the particular tag.

Abstract: For modern science information is not simply considered as just what we do not know. From entanglement and quantum mechanics to black holes it plays a fundamental role. It is a physical quantity which uses matter for its embodiment and energy for its communication. The concept of information can be used to ‘decode the reality’, to explain the formation and action of entities, from molecules to galaxies. Entities exist as long as they have boundaries. Which are the informational, energetic and material boundaries of music entities? How modern science can describe the unfolding of musical events? Is it valid to talk about fields in music and which are the attractive and repulsive forces? Is the distinction of musical past, present and future a convincing ‘illusion’, as it is for physicists? And mainly, which is the role of information while creating music structures?

Abstract: Home deliveries is common in developing countries Kenya included where mothers are assisted by Traditional Birth Attendant during delivery. Most birth which occur at home can result in complications which cannot be handled in the absence of qualified health personel and a health facility. To reduce maternal mortality its important that mothers deliver in a hospital with qualified health personnel.
Objective: The study aimed at establishing the factors that contribute to home deliveries in both rural and urban Districts in Kenya.
Methodology: A cross sectional study design was preferred. A sample of four hundred postnatal mothers in Rural and Urban hospital attending maternal child health clinics were selected for the study. Eligibility was mothers who had delivered at home within one year prior to the study. Focus group discussion guides were used to collect data. Data was analyzed by correspondence and thematic analysis and presented in figures and summary narratives.
Results: Most mothers in rural area delivered at home compared to urban 119 Mothers delivered at home in rural while only 47 did so in rural area.  This is associated with lack of money and transport. Home deliveries are preferred because they are cheap, no cost of travelling, TBA have a positive attitude and use polite language, there is one to one care so chances of self-delivery do not arise and mothers are in familiar environment.
Conclusion: Home deliveries are still common in Kenya despite availability of health services.
Recommendation: Health worker should improve during delivery on the care they give to the mother irrespective of their socio-economic status.
