Electronic leadership is basically becoming a norm in contemporary organizations. Despite the effectiveness and efficiency attached to e-leadership, its extent of adoption seems to be at the infancy stage in most of Kenyan Organizations. The purpose of this paper was to assess the impact of e-leadership on Service delivery in Kenya’s Public Universities. The objectives of the study were: to establish the level of adoption of e-leadership in Kenya’s Public Universities, to establish the impact of e-leadership on communication in the public universities and to establish effects of e-leadership on service delivery in Kenya’s Public Universities. The study adopted a Meta-analysis of empirical literature on the topic. The study was underpinned by Technology Acceptance Model by Davis (1989). The study established variability in the level of embracement of e-leadership amongst the universities, that there was a strong positive relationship between e-leadership and service delivery, that e-leadership enhances faster and effective communication. The study findings have implications on the corporations’ need to embrace e-leadership for their effectiveness.

Informational Communication and Technology (ICT) falls under the learner-centered strategy and is likely to improve learner interest and achievement. This is in tandem with the Kenyan government’s ICT policy of 2007. The study aimed to assess the extent of ICT integration into geography instruction in Kenya's public secondary schools. The study aimed to determine the institutional factors that influence the integration of ICT into geography teaching, the factors of geography teachers that influence the integration of ICT into geography teaching and learning, and the factors of students that influence the integration of ICT into geography teaching and learning in public secondary schools in Migori County, Kenya. Davis (1989) anchored the study on the technology acceptance model. The study also used a meta-analysis of empirical literature, guided by Ferrer (1998). The study found that institutional, teacher, and student factors impacted the integration of ICT into teaching and learning geography in public secondary schools in Migori County, Kenya. These findings have implications for schools' integration of ICT policy into geography instruction.

Insecurity is a concern in the North Eastern (N.E.) and North Rift (N.R.) parts of Kenya. The study aimed to assess the effects of insecurity on educational delivery in public schools in these regions. The objectives were to establish the causes and nature of insecurity, the effects of insecurity on attendance, and the way forward to insecurity on educational delivery in these regions. The study utilized a meta-analytic approach, according to Ferrer (1998). Results indicate that livestock rustling and terrorist attacks from Al-Shabaab are major causes of insecurity. The recent mass exodus of teachers from the Northeast region has challenged education delivery. Insecurity has led to low student attendance and school closures. The findings have implications for national governments, such as the Ministry of Interior and county governments, who must devise sustainable and robust security logistics to foster peaceful coexistence. This would not only enhance the delivery of education effectively but also streamline other transactions that are common in every society.

The geospatial locale of the North Eastern Region naturally experiences dryness which when coupled with climate change poses a big threat to the livelihood and health of the communities therein. The region has of late experienced prolonged drought with serious ramifications on the health of the surrounding communities together with their livestock. The purpose of this paper is to assess the effect of climate change on the livelihoods and health of the Pastoral communities in N.E Kenya. The objectives of the study were: to establish how climate change affects the livelihoods of the pastoral communities; to establish the effect of climate change on the health of the pastoral communities in Kenya and to establish the appropriate intervention measures that could be put in place to address the climate change issues with its ramifications on the pastoralists in Kenya. The findings show that climate change has negative impacts on the health and socio-economic livelihoods of the pastoralists. The study used an empirical literature review adopting a meta-analytical approach. The study has implications on the policy directions on how to deal with the impacts of climate change on pastoralists, towards helping them adapt to the situation with resilience, while ensuring their welfare is guaranteed.

E-learning as a crucial aspect of ICT is a new model of education dispensation in the Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) across the world. However, this technologically enhanced educational model is still at the infancy stage in the developing countries, Kenya not exceptional. The purpose of the study was to assess the institutional and students’ factors influencing adoption of e-learning in Higher institutions of Learning in Kenya. The specific objectives were: to establish the impact of institutional e-learning policy (IEP) on its adoption in HEIs in Kenya, to establish the impact of lecturers’ perceived ease of use (PEU) of e-learning on its adoption in HEIs and to establish effect of students’ perceived usefulness (PU) of e-learning on its adoption in HEIs. The study was underpinned by Technology Acceptance Model. This study reviewed 69 relevant empirical literatures whose meta- analysis was guided. The study established that lecturers’ perceived ease of use of e-learning affects its adoption, that institutional e-learning policy has significant relationship with e-learning adoption and that students’ e-learning perceived usefulness has a great effect on its adoption in the university. The study findings have implications on close scrutiny of universities’ e-learning policies toward its implementation; on provision of e-pedagogical training to lecturers toward e-learning capacity building; implications on universities’ ICT Departments’ preparation of students for e-learning educational model. In a nutshell the study finding would inform the best organizational practices towards e-learning effectiveness.

Educational innovation is inevitable in every society. A shift from 8:4:4 to 2:6:3:3:3 (CBC) system of education is ongoing and the new curriculum is taking a centre stage. Situational analysis is a prerequisite for an effective implementation of a new curriculum. However, gaps have been exhibited that are impediments to its effective implementation. The Purpose of this paper was to assess the impact of situational analysis on implementation of CBC. The objectives were to establish the extent: to which curriculum needs assessment were done towards CBC, to which necessary interventions have been taken to address the findings of the situational analysis and to find out the effects of curriculum needs assessment on implementation of CBC. This study reviewed relevant empirical literatures whose meta- analysis was guided by the work of Ferrer (1998). The study established that situational analysis was done towards dispensation of the CBC curriculum but some gaps remained that needed to be addressed before its roll out and continuous support where necessary. This study would necessarily illuminate on policy issues concerning curriculum theory and practice in Kenya.

The study on rotundity of norms in Banach spaces is of interest to many mathematicians. This is because rotundity properties are strongly applicable in many branches of Mathematics including but not restricted to functional analysis and topology. Some of the properties include: Rotund, Locally Uniformly Rotund, Uniformly Rotund in every direction, Uniformly Rotund in Weakly Compact sets of direction among others. In this paper, we give a survey of the standard results that will really revolutionize the study and research on rotundity of norms in the fields of functional analysis and topology among others.
