Kang’iri, N. J.,; Muchangi, D.,; Odunga, P. This study examined the influence of knowledge generation on strategy implementation in public sector organizations in Kenya, with a focus on the Kenya Bureau of Standards. Government institutions generate vast amounts of knowledge; however, they lack structured frameworks for knowledge generation leading to inefficiencies in strategy implementation. The study was guided by Resource-based view theory. The study adopted mixed-methods research design, incorporating descriptive, case study, and correlational approaches to allow for both broad and in-depth exploration of the study variables. The research was conducted at KEBS offices countrywide, with a target population of 1,080 employees. A pilot study was done at Nakuru with 36 participants, while the final sample size was 292 employees. Stratified random sampling was used to ensure a diverse representation of employees across various departments. Primary data was collected using structured questionnaires and in-depth interviews, while secondary data was obtained from policy documents, institutional reports, and relevant literature. Quantitative data analysis involved descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS. Descriptive statistics, including measures of central tendency, frequency distributions, and percentages, were used to summarize data. Inferential analysis, including correlation and multiple regressions were conducted to assess the relationships between knowledge management practices and strategy implementation. Qualitative data was analyzed thematically to provide deeper insights into the impact of knowledge management on strategic processes. Overall, the study showed that effective knowledge generation positively influences strategy implementation in the public sector. The results revealed that knowledge generation is a moderate, significant and positive influencer of strategy implementation. The study recommended that the organization’s management review its knowledge generation policy to update and align it to the strategic goals of the organization. 2026-02-06T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/1191 Modeling Social Factor and Faulty Health System on The Dynamic of Childhood Diarrhea in Majengo Nyeri County, Kenya Muiri, C. W., Atieno, R., & Chamuchi, M. Mathematical modeling of infectious diseases offers insights into the core processes of disease propagation and transmission. The main way that diarrhea, an illness symptom caused by parasite, viral, or bacterial pathogens, spreads is through fecal matter-contaminated water. The main objective is to model under five childhood diarrhea to show how stress and faulty health system usually affect the propagation of this diasese. Stress, whether experienced in childhood or adulthood, can significantly influence the development of bowel disease. Wellness facility-based surveillance studies may understate the disease burden when it is impossible to count the percentage of cases that do not seek care, as in resource- poor environments where access to care is limited or in communities where frequently visited healthcare providers are not included in the surveillance system. This study developed a mathematical model of social factor and faulty health system on the dynamic of childhood diarrhea in Kenya. The model was developed from a system described by first-order equationsnonlinear ordinary differential equations in which the disease dies out and the disease-free equilibrium was attained when the basic reproduction number R0 < 1, The basic reproduction number was shown to be R0 = 0.008278 that proved with proper care on under five children during diarrhea outbreak the disease can be contained. Whereas the disease could persists and the endemic equilibrium is reached when R0 > 1. MATLAB software is utilised to do numerical simulations studies using the model parameters was calculated to show how social factor (stress) and faulty health system propagate childhood diarrhea as more children suffer from stress during diarrhea outbreak they tend to have more severe outcome as compared when free of stress. Poor health facilities have also been shown to contribute to the development of diarrhea as most dont offer good services to their patient. The results of the study will provide valuable information to stakeholders, informed laboratory technicians and field experts by demonstrating the effect of stress and faulty health system that will aid in development of new intervention strategies. 2025-08-30T00:00:00Z
