There being most of Kenya’s Health professionals leaving the country for more lucrative jobs abroad which results in a severe shortage of medical workers across the country, this gets even worse when it comes to the level four hospitals. This consequently leads the level four hospitals to offer a limited treatment services. By adopting telemedicine, nurses who are employed by the hospital to nurse some of the patients can get assistance from a health care professional who can guide through video conferencing, moreover provides a platform that brings more treatment services to hospitals. Therefore the paper presents an assessment of the level four  hospitals’ technological infrastructure for telemedicine adoption. Questionnaires were used to collect quantitative data and structured interviews were used to collect qualitative data. The quantitative data obtained was analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques and results were presented using frequency tables, triangulation was used to back up the quantitative data from the qualitative data obtained. The study found out that the level four hospitals possesses just a part of the telemedicine technological infrastructure that can be used to adopt telemedicine at an infancy level. The study recommends that all the computers in the level four hospitals be equipped with a web camera, improve the internet bandwidth, consider installing VOIP software on their computers that are more reliable with better call quality and finally they should consider buying larger LCD screens.

The study coveredall the residents in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja Nigeria. The study aims at investigating the incidences of gender-based violence, find the causes of gender-based violence and find the effects of gender-based violence. This study adopted a descriptive survey design. Simple random sampling technique was used to select the respondents from the six (6) Area Councils in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. The population was 3,277,740 residents in Abuja. A sample size of 384 respondents was used for the study. A self-structured questionnaire titled: Gender-Based Violence Questionnaire (GBVQ)was used to collect data for the study. The validity and reliability of the instrument were determined by experts in the field and test-retest technique was used to determine the reliability of the instrument. Data collected were analysed through frequency count and means scores. Findings from the study revealed that there are high consequences including psychological trauma. Based on the findings, the researcher recommended that spouses should ensure that the unique marital relationship is placed above any prejudice, irritations and should never allow sentiments to tear it apart.

Phishing has continued to be a tool in the hands of the cybercriminals. APWG (Anti-Phishing Working Group) trend report of 2020 first quarter revealed a rise in phishing websites particularly in the month of March, taking advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic to affect the most vulner­able of the times. Likewise second quarter reports attack­ers deploying more sophisticated measures to deceive users and having 78% of phishing sites using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protection. This shows continuity in perpetration and sophistication of phishing attacks. This paper explored recent phishing trends, reviewed some work carried out by the research community, identifying methods to detect and mitigate the scourge. A particular focus was analysing the Nigerian envi­ronment putting into considerations some of the factors that affect the society to determine common phishing ap­proaches used by actors and most targeted community. Data from World Bank, ITU (International Telecommunication Un­ion) and Nigerian regulatory institutions were used. The study identified Vishing and Smishing categories as most popular attack vectors in contrast to developed economies experiencing high incidences reported in email and other similar mediums. This knowledge will create better understanding to factors that can make phishing attack types more unique to certain regions and thus tailor researchers’ direction for finding solutions in the areas most needed.

The purpose of the study was to investigate socio-demographic characteristics of health care workers’ and their attitudes towards older people in Nairobi, Kenya. The objectives of the study were to: evaluate the influence of age and level of education of healthcare workers on their attitude towards older people and examine the influence of experience of healthcare workers on their attitudes towards older people. The study was guided by Ajzen and Fishbein’s Theory of Reasoned Actionand Townsend’s Structured Dependency Theory. The ontology was post-positivism and the epistemology was realist/objectivist. The research method was quantitative. The research design was ex-post-facto. Random sampling, stratified and purposive sampling were applied. Data was generated using questionnaires. A 60-item Attitudes Towards Older People Scale (ATOPS) was the main instrument for data generation. A total of 295 participants, responded to the Questionnaire. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics, frequencies and percentages. The findings revealed that there was a statistically significant influence of their level of education on their attitudes towards older people; it also revealed that there was a significant influence of healthcare workers’ experience on their attitudes towards older people. It recommended that Geriatric curriculum should be developed to correct misunderstandings and improve the attitudes of health care workers toward older people.

This study assessedteaching performance in Mathematics among early childhood care education Pre-service teachers during teaching practice. Based on the purpose of the study two research questions and two hypotheses were formulated. The population of the study consisted of all the 300 level final year NCE early childhood care education pre-service teachers. The sample size of the study was made of 222 pre - service teachers involving 119 males and 103.  The instrument used for data collection was Teaching Practice assessment form. Face and content validity were done by one expert in mathematics education and two experts in measurement and evaluation. The internal consistency of the items was established to be 0.88 using Cronbach alpha reliability statistics method. The data generated were analyzed using mean and standard deviation for the research questions while t - test was used to testthe hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The results indicated that teaching performance of the pre-service teachers was at the high extent, mean score on parameters of assessment are high on skill of classroom management strategies and communication skill while there are low mean scores on Quality of lesson preparation, skill of evaluation and teacher personality attitude and values and very low mean score on preparation, presentation and development of lesson and  the inter-rater reliability was found to be valid percent (66.7%) irrespective of gender performance. The major recommendations were thatthe supervisors of the pre-service teachers should be trained on the effective use of Teaching Performance Assessment Form in order to obtain reliable assessment scores.
