Predicting Employability of Congolese Information Technology Graduates Using Contextual Factors: Towards Sustainable Employability

Mwendia, Simon N; Mburu, Lucy W; Mpia, Héritier N (Sustainability, 2022)

Predicting employability in an unstable developing country requires the use of contextual factors as predictors and a suitable machine learning model capable of generalization. This study has discovered that parental ...

Applying Data Mining in Graduates’ Employability

Mburu, Lucy W; Mwendia, Simon N; Mpia, Héritier N (International Journal of Engineering Pedagogy (iJEP), 2023)

Envisaging an adequate IT/IS solution that can mitigate the employability problems is imperative because nowadays there is a high rate of unemployed graduates. Thus, the main goal of this systematic literature review (SLR) ...

Further Construction Of Balanced Arrays

Ngaii, John W; Manene, Moses; Njui, Francis (Far East Journal of Theoretical Statistics, 2020)

The relation between balanced arrays and two other combinatorial structures, namely, orthogonal arrays and transitive arrays is pointed out. We provide three new and simple but rather stringent methods of constructing ...

Efficiency Factors For Linear Contrasts In Confounded Asymmetrical Factorial

Ngaii, John W; Manene, Moses; Njui, Francis (Far East Journal of Theoretical Statistics, 2019)

With reference to a confounded asymmetrical design for an factorial experiment, a very powerful tool for expressing factorial arrangements in a compact and convenient form has been given and also used in this paper in order ...

Construction Of Some Balanced Asymmetrical Factorial Designs

Ngaii, John W; Manene, Moses; Njui, Francis (ICASTOR Journal of Mathematical Sciences, 2015)

Two distinct methods of obtaining high efficiency balanced asymmetrical factorial designs that are resolvable have been discussed. One of these methods uses pseudofactors and factors of asymmetry while the other method ...

Importance of the Neutral Category in Fuzzy Clustering of Sentiments

Nderu, Lawrence; Jouandeau, Nicolas; Akdag, Herman (Research Gate, 2014)

Social media is said to have an impact on the public discourse and communication in the society. It is increasingly being used in the political context. Social networks sites such as Facebook, Twitter and other micro ...

Defining visualization operations for temporal cartographic animation design

Ogao, Patrick; Menno-Jan, Kraak (Elsevier- Science Direct, 2002)

Cartographic animation has emerged as a potentially effective visualization technique that has an intuitive power in representing dynamic geographical phenomena through its ability to show interrelations amongst geospatial ...

Measuring Levels of End-Users’ Acceptance and Use of Hybrid Library Services

Ogao, Patrick (International Journal of Education and Development using Information and Communication Technology, 2010)

This study concerns the adoption of Information Communication Technology (ICT) services in libraries. The study collected 445 usable data from university library end-users using a cross- sectional survey instrument. It ...

Evaluation of Software Visualization Tools

Ogao, Patrick; Sensalire, Mariam; Telea, Alexandru (IEEE, 2009)

Many software visualization (SoftVis) tools are continuously be- ing developed by both researchers as well as software development companies. In order to determine if the developed tools are effec- tive in helping their ...

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System Implementation: A case for User participation

Ogao, Patrick; Matende, Samuel (Research Gate, 2013)

The introduction of an information system such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system in an organization brings with it changes on how users work. An ERP system cuts across the different functional units of an ...

E-Learners’ Challenges and Coping Strategies in Interactive and Collaborative e-Learning in Kenya

Kibuku, Rachael N; Ochieng, Daniel O; Wausi, Agnes N (Research Gate, 2020)

Some universities in Kenya have taken up e-learning to flexibly deliver learning and bridge the educational access gap. Despite the benefits that e-learning offers to the e-learners, there are challenges that they must ...

e-Learning Challenges Faced by Universities in Kenya: A Literature Review

Kibuku, Rachael N; Ochieng, Daniel O; Wausi, Agnes N (Research Gate, 2020)

Some institutions of higher education in Kenya have adopted e-Learning with the aim of coping with the increased demand for university education and to widen access to university training and education. Though there ...
