The evolving labor environment underscores the critical role of cognitive and non-cognitive (soft) skills in fostering workforce adaptability enhancing market outcomes. This study investigates combined influence these on probability employment, focusing Kenyan market, where high youth unemployment job mismatches persist despite government interventions education sector reforms. Traditionally, emphasis has been placed skills, with limited integration into educational curricula, exacerbating...
Summary Pedigree analysis using genealogical information of 18 315 animals born between 1949 and 2008 was done to quantify genetic variability the Sahiwal population in Kenya. Generation intervals for sire pathways were longer than dam increased over year periods, from about 4–16 years. The later due use old bulls breeding last 2 groups cessation progeny testing 2000. Average inbreeding level period studied 1.2 percent. Genetic as assessed based on gene origin statistics decreased ratio...
Adequate knowledge of climate variability is essential for the success any adaptation or mitigation efforts. Thus, a study was conducted to investigate levels awareness and perceptions on among forest-adjacent communities (FACs) in Mau Forest, Kenya. Data investigation generated through administration 313 questionnaires across randomly selected households. Of entire questionnaire, 311 were analysed, while two returned uncompleted therefore discarded. Descriptive inferential statistical...
Context In the present study we assessed use of average relationship as a means to control future rates inbreeding in small cattle closed nucleus and its effect on genetic gain for milk yield managing variability livestock improvement programs. Aim The aim was strike an ideal balance between loss Sahiwal population. Methods A total 8452 records cows from National Stud, Kenya, were used estimate breeding values 19315 relatedness all individuals. estimated relationships then optimise...
