K This study explores the origin of Identity Crisis and Nationalism in Sudan, 1983-2005. The study was based on three objectives: Investigate the Anglo-Egyptian policy of separate administration for the Northern and Southern Sudan and the emergence of identity crisis in Sudan. Examine the conflict of identities between Islamic and Christian/African cultures in Sudan and assessed the impact of conflict of identity crisis between Northern and the Southern Sudan. Secondary and primary data were primarily important to carry out study. The secondary sources focused on evaluating the scholarly books, journal articles, reports by private and public institutions whereas the primary sources included newspapers, letters, minutes, and speeches. The study found out that pre-colonial and postcolonial governments in Sudan who immediately took over power from Anglo-Egyptian regime from 1955-1983 had really worked to undermine the spirit of oneness and nation building from the onset of independence of Sudan, which came into effect in 1956.The British policy of Closed Districts Ordinance which was initially meant to protect the identity of the peoples of Southern Sudan from being subjected to Islamisation and Arabisation policy employed by the Northern Sudan was deemed to have created bitter hatred between the North and South. 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z http://erepository.uonbi.ac.ke/handle/11295/166650 The Incidence and Determinants of Job Search Channels Among Youth in Kenya Wanyama, Sharon R This study examined the incidence and determinants of channels used by youth in Kenya. Understanding youth choices of job search channels is important because of the possible implications of outcomes in the labour market such as employment and earnings. The study was guided by job search theory and a discrete choice model in which an individual chooses a job search method that maximizes their utility. A multinomial logit regression model was estimated to investigate how gender, labour market conditions, human capital, demographic and socio-economic status characteristics of youth looking for work in Kenya influence their search methods options. The findings from the study indicate that majority of the young people in Kenya preferred inquiring at workplaces compared to other job search methods. The level of education was a significant factor for the youth in determining the choice of method used when seeking for work. Gender, age and access to information were significant factors associated with waiting at a street-side over inquiring at workplaces. The youth aged 20-24 was also a significant factor associated with registering at employment agencies. This insights into the search behavior for employment of Kenyan youth can therefore, inform job assistance policies, programs and interventions aimed at improving youth employment outcomes. 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z http://erepository.uonbi.ac.ke/handle/11295/166400 Gender Dynamics and Sustainability of Smallholder Agricultural Projects in Homabay County Omamo, Anne A 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z http://erepository.uonbi.ac.ke/handle/11295/165376 SOCIO ECONOMIC FACTORS DETERMINING CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS CASE STUDY OF UNIVERSITY OF JUBA Ahmed Abdullahi Morgan The goal of the study was to establish assess and evaluate the prevalence of alcohol consumption among the undergraduate students at the university of Juba in South Sudan. The dependent variable in the study is consumption of alcohol by students measured by their responses as to whether they consumed alcohol or not. The independent variables were represented in nine major determinants of consumption of alcohol among the student which include age, gender, income, price, employment status, peer influence, knowledge of alcohol dangers, and parent education level. Use was made questionnaire to collect the primary data from the students at the University of Juba. A random sample of 120 students was interviewed and the data analyzed using STATA and SPSS version 17. Tests for associations of variables were automatically done by the STATA process in which we explained the Z-tests and Chi-square tests as well as explaining the critical statistics and economics sense the results make. The study found strong associations of the nine variables to the dependent variable among the students. Price, culture, religion, accessibility and peer influence were found to be significant in determining consumption of alcohol. The study findings therefore, supported the classical theory of consumer behavior and the theory of demand which almost hold all the above factors as determinants. However, consumer income was not significant in determining consumption which in this case fails to support the consumer theory which states that as income increases, more of normal goods will be consumed. Nevertheless, these findings can further prove here that alcohol is neither a normal nor a necessity and as such it becomes sometimes difficult to predict the behaviors of consumers involved in drinking alcohol, especially in case of addiction. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z
