(African Journal Online, 2020)BACKGROUND፡ Although injection substance users and individuals co-infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 and Mycobacterium tuberculosis suffer marked hematologic derangements, the rates, levels, morphologic types and ... -
ON THE CYCLE INDICES OF FROBENIOUS GROUPS
(2010)There are several very useful formulas, which give the cycle indices of the binary operation of the sum, product, composition and power group of M and H in terms of cycle indices of M and H. One very useful binary operation ... -
Evaluation of Sea-Water Intrusion in Coastal Aquifers Using both Numerical Methods and Causal Research: A Case Study of Mombasa, Kenya
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2021-07-02)This research carried out in Mombasa Island links research done in 2020 on the effects of sea-water intrusion and the current state. The aquifer in Mombasa Island is semi-confined and consists of limestone and coral rock. ... -
Predictors of Shisha Consumption among Students in Tertiary Institutions: A Systematic Review
(Multidisciplinary Journal of TUM, 2021-05)Tobacco use is a risk factor for several diseases, disabilities and premature deaths. Shisha is specially flavoured tobacco and majority of the users perceive hookah smoking to be safer than cigarette. Shisha use has ... -
THE NUMBER OF DISTINCT FUZZY SUBGROUPS OF THE GROUP r p q Z n × Z m × Z FOR DISTINCT PRIMES p, q, r AND m, n ∈ Z+
(2022)The equivalence relation ‘~’ defined by Murali and Makamba is used to find the number of the distinct fuzzy subgroups of the group r , p q Z n × Z m × Z where p, q, r are distinct primes with m and n as Received: ... -
The burden and types of anaemia among HIV infected, ART-naive injection substance users in Kenya
(AJOL, 2022-03)Illicit substance use and HIV infection cause haematological derangements. Anaemia characterized by a reduction in the quality and quantity erythrocytes is the most common disorder in both HIV-positive persons and illicit ... -
Poly-drug use among female and male commercial sex workers visiting a drop in centre in Mombasa County, Kenya
(PLOS, 2022)The relationship between commercial sex work and drug use is complex and the two exacerbate each other. In Kenya, Mombasa County has one of the highest populations of drug users and commercial sex workers. Despite documentation ... -
Polydrug Use among Students in a Public University in a Lower Middle-Income Country
(Hindawi, 2023-07)Recreational drug use among students in tertiary institutions remains a public health concern. Despite documentation of drug use in Kenyan universities, most of the studies are based on self-reported history which is prone ... -
Assemblages and Subassemblages of Giardia duodenalis in Rural Western, Kenya: Association with Sources, Signs, and Symptoms
(Hindawi, 2024)Giardia duodenalis causes sporadic or epidemic infections in humans. The parasite comprises assemblages A-H with A and B subdivided further into AI-IV and BI-IV subassemblages. Attempts aimed at linking these genotypes ... -
Classifying fuzzy subgroups of the abelian group Zp1× Zp2×···× Zpn for distinct primes p1, p2,···, pn
(2017)In this paper, we classify the fuzzy subgroups of the group G= Zp1× Zp2×···× Zpn where p1, p2,···, pn are distinct primes and n∈ Z+. We develop an algorithm for counting the distinct fuzzy subgroups of the group G using ... -
