[more][less]Abstract: Impact mitigation strategies in sub-Saharan Africa on HIV/AIDS in the education sector involved initially the development of education sector policies. This study traces the policy development initiatives, level of implementation, progress made and existing challenges. The study is based on a close (textual) reading of authoritative literature from United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), World Bank, UNESCO and UNICEF for the last decade on global monitoring of HIV/AIDS and statistical data. Studies on the impact of HIV/AIDS on the education sector in sub-Saharan Africa have been brought into focus and themes have been extracted and synthesised from a comparative perspective to guide the development of this chapter. Across the countries, the education sector HIV/AIDS policies had concurrence with the countries’ national HIV and AIDS policy or guidelines, and conformed to international conventions, national laws, policies, guidelines and regulations. Most of the countries in Sub-Saharan Africa showed a significant decline in HIV prevalence among young women or men and opportunities to improve HIV-prevention knowledge and behaviour still abound. Antiretroviral therapy and other types of treatment have expanded since the early 2000s, but the number of AIDS-related deaths remains high. This chapter fulfils an identified information/resources need and amplifies the progress achieved in the mitigation of the impact of HIV/AIDS on the education sector specifically and humanity in general.

Abstract: The study which was exploratory in nature was aimed at examining the perception, constructs and intentions of accountants to disclose social responsibility information. Disclosure indices were used to determine the current Corporate Social Disclosures (CSD) practices of listed companies in Kenya and to classify companies as high disclosure companies and low disclosure companies, while repertory grid technique was used determine how accountants perceive and construe intention to disclose CSD. Interviews were conducted with accountants from both high disclosure and low disclosure companies. The repertory grid data were analysed in two stages: individual cases analysis and cross-cases analysis. The individual case were analysed using the principal component analysis. For the cross-cases analysis, content analysis was used to categorize constructs based on their expressed meaning. It was found that the reputation of the company is the main motivation for high disclosure companies to disclose social responsibility information and institutional factors were the main motivation for low disclosure companies. It is recommended that regulation and standardisation of CSD can make it more useful for decision-making by various stakeholders.

Abstract: The main objective of this study is to find out the role of church owned businesses on sustainability of the church. Church organizations have over the years been faced with many challenges for survival and sustainability. As such, many churches today have ventured into businesses with an objective of enhancing their going concern. This move has been received with mixed reactions with some churches perceiving it as a good initiative for self-reliance while others perceiving it as an endeavour which is not within the church mandate. The study adopted descriptive research design. For primary data collection, questionnaires were administered and interview conducted. Descriptive statistics were used to present the findings. The results of this study indicate that church businesses do contribute to the sustainability of the church. The financial stability also implies that the church is put in a good position to achieve its biblical mandate in terms of reaching out, evangelising and also supporting the needy in the society. The study concludes that church businesses play a critical role in promoting sustainability of its operations. However, precaution has to be exercised so that the core mandate of the church which is about reaching out with the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ throughworship, discipleship, evangelism, missions and social action is not compromised at the expense of business pursuit.

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate how firm age and size affect the small and medium firm to move from the local to international market. Literature has strongly suggested that the firm age and firm size some of the key factors that influence internationalization of medium sized firms for many developing economies though little research has been done regarding the same for developing economies. An in depth survey was conducted with 73 Kenya Top 100 medium companies targeting the CEOs and/or key executives by the use of a questionnaire instrument. The data was analyzed by the use of Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) Version 21. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to present data. The study found that if Kenyan medium sized firms would sustainably increase the size of their operation, as they age, this would increase theirreadiness to internationalize their operations. They would therefore achieve superior capability to maximize on any opportunity that might arise for doing business in foreign market.The study recommends that the Government of Kenya should provide a supportive environment that would enable medium firmsto grow and overcome the challenges of smallness which is a precursor to internationalization.

The bank has done well where others have failed especially on reaching out to the bottom of the pyramid segment. Equity bank has a very strong institutional culture of strategic planning that has helped in its growth and expansion. The employees in the bank treat their jobs like a calling to liberate the people of Africa and its either you fit or you don’t fit in that culture. This culture has seen employees giving their best in terms of time and energy which has seen the company record excellent performance over the years. The study used descriptive research design. The target group was the middle level managers in the Bank. Semi-structured questionnaires and key informant interviews were used as the instruments for data collection. Data was presented by the use of both descriptive and inferential statistics. The study revealed that Equity Bank had several strategic management practices which touched on formulation, implementation and evaluation. These included selfassessment, competition analysis, resource allocation, strategic management procedures. The bank had a very strong organizational culture which it leveraged on to push the strategic agenda. The study concludes by retaliating that adoption of strategic planning practices and institutionalization of a supportive institutional culture are great drivers of organizational performance.

Abstract: Introduction: Breaking bad news to patients is one of the most common, and often difficult, responsibilities in the practice of medicine, particularly in cancer related diagnosis. Breaking bad news in an abrupt and insensitive manner may not only be devastating for both the patient and his or her family but is also associated with poor treatment outcomes and doctor burnout. This task is commonly done by residents who are on training. The complexity of the current resident work environment, including the impact of making money or finances in third world countries, is underappreciated. A study to establish the effectiveness of a training intervention to assist residents in breaking bad news hit a big snag when the training workshop, which was held on a weekend, received approximately 10 attendees. 40 attendees were expected. Methods: A quantitative research approach, a quasi-experimental group design was utilized. A purposeful sample of 80 physicians who are residents were selected for the study on a first-come-first-served basis. They were then randomly grouped into two groups: test group and control group. Test group was trained and compared with the control group. Perceived competence in performing breaking bad news tasks by residents was measured using two learning domains: cognitive and affective. These evaluated self– efficacy, empathy and physician’s beliefs before and after the training. To achieve this, we designed a flipped classroom program and, two weeks later, a workshop for the test group was held. Cronbach’s alpha, median and interquartile range (IQR) was calculated in SPSS version 22. P-value less than or equal to 0.05 was taken as statistically significant. Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Review and Ethics Committee (IREC) of Moi University and Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital. Results: A post-workshop survey of residents’ self-efficacy score in breaking bad news tasks, empathy scores using JSPE and physician belief scores were assessed. The post-workshop survey revealed that the residents’ self-efficacy scores improved significantly when compared with the control group. However, empathy scores and physician belief scores did not change significantly. Resident responses also exposed some challenges in communication skills training in real-life clinical settings for them. There was an apparent less humanistic approach to patients by residents suggesting biomedical curriculum based on the philosophy of science and less or limited in the ‘humanistic’ one based on the art of medicine. Conclusions: Innovative flipped classroom format in combination with workshop sessions allows easy incorporation of breaking bad news skills training for residents in a postgraduate training program.
