In Kenya, student performance in sciences and Mathematics is still low compared to art-oriented disciplines. The poor performance has affected not only the Girl child’s interest in these disciplines but also the number of girls that take STEM-oriented programs at tertiary levels. Several mitigating measures have been enacted although the situation has not changed much. This paper reports a study that explored contextual enablers and hindrances of Girl Child participation in STEM education in a Western Kenyan county.

The results of histopathological examination of Moina macrocopa (Straus, 1820) (Cladocera, Crustacea) from periodically drying puddles unpolluted with toxic substances are presented. In some of the examined individuals, oocytes disintegrated and pathological changes occurred in the "placenta". Puddles are the natural habitat of this species. The pathological condition of a species living in its natural environment is evidence that its adaptation to life in it has not yet been completed.

Shea trade openness measures how freely a nation can trade shea with other countries. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) innovation has become a vital force for economic growth, especially in developing nations. However, there is limited data on how the shea trade and ICT impact economic development. We examine how the shea trade and ICT adoption interact to affect economic development using data from 2003 to 2023. Our analysis with the static OLS regression model shows that both the shea trade and ICT significantly boost economic development in West Africa.

A simple, sensitive, accurate, cost-effective, and stability-indicating HPLC method was developed and validated for the simultaneous estimation of Carvediloland Ivabradine hydrochloride in bulk drugs and combined dosage forms. The method used a Symmetry VL-G4288C UV detector (5 μm) at 265 nm with a 20 μL injection. Carvedilol and Ivabradine hydrochloride showed retention times of 6.973 and 3.876 minutes. It was linear from 1 μg/mL to 12.5 mg/mL for Carvedilol and from 5 mg/mL for Ivabradine, with a detection limit of 0.1 μg/mL for both.

The aortic arch typically gives rise to three main branches: the brachiocephalic trunk, which is the first and largest branch and divides into the right common carotid and right subclavian arteries; the left common carotid artery as the second branch; and the left subclavian artery as the third. However, anatomical variations in this branching pattern are relatively common and carry clinical significance.

Dans un monde marqué par la reconfiguration des chaînes de valeur et de transformation économique accélérée, l’émergence des zones spéciales représente une ambition nationale de transformation structurelle dans les pays en développement. L’objectif de la présente recherche est d’analyser les déterminants au développement de la Glo-Djigbé Industrial Zone (GDIZ). Les données liées dispositions règlementaires et intentionnelles, cartographiques et socio-démographiques sont utilisées.
