Abstract: A field experiment was conducted in Kano Sudan Savannah zone of Nigeria to study the Influence of poultry manure and weed control method on the performance of Irrigated sweet corn during Dry season of 2019. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with five main plot and six sub plot treatments. The main plot treatments comprised of four different rates of poultry manure (0, 3. 6 and 9 t/ha) and one recommended level of NPK (120:60:60) fertilizer, the subplots comprises of the six weed control method (two pre-emergence, two post-emergence herbicides, a two hoe weeded at 3 and 6 WAS and a weedy check as a control). Thus, the treatment combinations were replicated thrice. The results pointed out that application of 9 t/ha poultry manure resulted in significantly better growth indices while application Metolachlor + Terbuthylazine + Mesotrione at 2.5 kg a.i ha-1 followed by Bentazone at 2.5 kg a.i. ha-1, effectively controlled weeds and resulted in better growth and development and this can be recommended for production of sweet corn in the study area.

A census survey was carried out on all the 52 Huduma centers spread across the 47 Counties in Kenya.The component of analysis was Huduma centres while unit of observation involved 159 senior managers in charge of the 108 services offered under the one stop shop platform. The Response rate was 65.41% and normality test undertaken showed that the Kolmogorov-Smirnova and Shapiro-Wilk statistics for Public service delivery was 0.396 and 0.568 thus normal in distribution.The study used descriptive statistical method of inquiry that involved correlation and regression methodologies for qualitative and quantitative analysis. The instruments for quantitative data collection was structured questionnaire anchored on Likert-type scale with reliability Cronbach alpha coefficient at 0.842 in the pilot study. Survey was used to gather main statistics while secondary data was collected through evaluations of both hypothetical and experiential writings. Interview guide was used specifically on a selected number of respondents to clarify qualitative data collected through questionnaires. The quantitative data obtained was analyzed by SPSS programme.Hypotheses was tested using regression analysis and Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation analysis. Findings established that Citizen Participation practice has statistically significant effect on public service delivery. These practice need to be nurtured positively for citizenry to enjoy government services with ease. Therefore, the conclusions have enjoined the knowledge gap in the management of one stop shop concept in Kenya.

The Response rate was 65.41% and normality test undertaken showed that the Kolmogorov-Smirnova and Shapiro-Wilk statistics for Public service delivery was 0.396 and 0.568 thus normal in distribution.The study used mixed methods of inquiry that involved correlation and regression methodologies for qualitative and quantitative analysis. The instruments for quantitative data collection was structured questionnaire anchored on Likert-type scale with reliability Cronbach alpha coefficient at 0.842 in the pilot study. Survey was used to gather main statistics while secondary data was collected through evaluations of both hypothetical and experiential writings.

Abstract: Organizations currently operate in a volatile and ever-changing environment. Organizational learning culture (OLC) has a moderating role in increasing organizational performance both in financial and non-financial terms. OLC has seven dimensions, and it is important to test which of the seven components of OLC have superior or poor effects compared to others for improving organizational performance. Even though there is divergent literature about the relationship between OLC and organizational performance, but this is the first research to undertake such an in-depth examination for Afghanistan. The study is based on a questionnaire with respondents from the public and private sector as well as representatives of donor projects in Afghanistan. The study findings prove that there is a significant difference between the public and private sector representative's attainments from and contributions to OLC. As a result, the OLC in terms of organizational performance differs from public to manufacturing sectors. The lack of interest in continuous learning, dialogue, and inquiry are the major challenges that lower the impact of other OLC components in an organization, such as system connection and employee satisfaction.

Keywords: continuous learning, inquiry and dialogue, team learning, embedded systems, empowerment, systems connection, leadership, and Organizational Performance.
