Purpose: In general, most forklift accidents occur due to rollover. After a rollover, the first affected part is the driver's cabin, followed by the chassis and parts. In the study, cabin and chassis designs of diesel forklifts with increased driver safety and performance were made. Methodology: Cabin and chassis tests were carried out with the Solid works program. According to the test results, the chassis and cabin design was made. Welding and assembly processes on the chassis of high-strength materials suitable for this design have been completed. Findings: As a result of the studies, the cabin design, which is different from other similar forklifts, notches on the edges of the fender, the removal of fuel and oil tanks from the chassis, eliminating the leakage test, and the steps on the sides of the chassis being made monolithic, are important innovations. Unique contributor to theory, policy and practice: As a result of all these studies, our KFD30 model was developed. This new model stands out with its new design and manufacturing on the forklift.

Purpose: Climate change (CC) caused by global warming has become a significant problem today. Although Kenya has established several regulations and policies to deal with the impact of climate change and reduce its nationally determined contribution to near zero as committed in the Paris Agreement, there has been an increase in Co2 emissions, especially from the building industry. Therefore, this research aims to evaluate Kenya’s CC legal and regulatory framework, investigate challenges in Kenya’s CC regulatory policies, and propose practical strategies for the climate changepolicy challenges for Kenya’s building industry to reduce GHG emissions. Methodology: The researcher conducted thorough literature reviews. Secondary qualitative data was collected from government policy documents in various ministries, peer-reviewed papers, international treaties, and working papers from International Non-Governmental Organizations and extensively analyzed using a mixed data analysis strategy. Findings: Results from the analysis revealed that Kenya’s CC regulatory framework for the building industry is inadequate, not overarching, and has limited effects on practices and processes in the building industry, thus, the continued increase of GHG emissions. There are no specific industry policies to target their processes and practices, poor implementation and enforcement reduce the effectiveness of the policies, and inadequate funds lead to inept policies and inadequate skills. Unique contribution to theory, practice, and policy: The paper not only contributes Literary Knowledge to the subject area of climate change but also offers policy instruments that can be used as part of NCCAP to assist in CC policy formulation for the building industry.

Purpose: In this research, a comparative analysis of the RSA and ELGAMAL algorithms is presented using their encryption and decryption speed with different key sizes. ElGamal and RSA are two popular public-key cryptographic algorithms that depend on the mathematical difficulty of computing discrete logarithms in finite fields and factoring large integers, respectively. Methodology: In this study, the speed at which messages of various sizes can be encrypted and decrypted using various key sizes is used to gauge how well these algorithms work. Findings: RSA usually outperforms ElGamal in terms of encryption and decryption speed, according to the results. However, as the key sizes grow, the performance gap between the two algorithms narrows. Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: These findings can aid in selecting the appropriate algorithm and key size for different applications that require secure communication and data encryption.

Purpose: The most unsafe geological chance in steep places is landslides. Landslides in Ghana have long been a most important source of worry, mainly during the rainy season. In some highland settlements, most of the buildings in Kasoa are impacted because the community is situated on a landslide terrain. Methodology: In this project, cantilever and relieving platform retaining walls with varied heights of 3 to 10 meters and SBC 160 KN/m2 were analyzed and designed. Additionally, a comparative of factors like cost, efficiency, bending moment, stability against overturning, and sliding between the two retaining walls are shown. The cost comparison is done together with the comparative analysis, and the lowest or best estimate is selected. Findings: This research also demonstrated that the relieving platform retaining wall is less expensive, more stable, and relieves the heel portion's bending moment Unique Contributions to Theory, Policy and Practice: To reduce the risk of landslides on the road or in the town as a whole, we plan to construct or design a retaining wall model and, if possible, add a storm drainage system to the project.

Purpose: The introduction of the Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) in the delivery of low-cost houses in Congo is a recent phenomenon. The article will investigate the factors behind this new strategy of building affordable houses and try to establish how PPP can contribute to better housing for the residents of the most populated city of Congo (Kinshasa). The study focuses on the factors contributing to the increasing demand for the Public-Private-Partnership in the construction of affordable housing projects introduced by the Government. Methodology: For us to obtain the perspectives of key participants in the public sector dealing with the delivery of affordable housing projects in Kinshasa, an in-depth semi-structured interview and survey were conducted. This method combines qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques Findings: The result of the analysis shows that there are four main reasons for this increment: The lack of public resources, the high demand for low-cost housing, the Lack of qualified construction workers, and the lack of the private sector's interest to invest in social housing. Unique Contributions to Theory, Policy and Practice: The challenges of delivering low-cost house projects are numerous. The challenges are divided into different categories: political and economic, Governance, international forces, administration, financial resources, material resources, management practices, technical, and local external pressures, and natural forces are some of the issues that need to be addressed. While politics and governance, administration, financial and material resources, local external pressures, and environmental forces are all important, the performing organization faces external problems, as well as management and technical challenges.

Purpose: No matter how superior the techniques employed are, it’s only through positive attitudes of teachers that the benefits of computer integration into the curriculum instruction could be realized. The overall objective of this study was to examine influence of computer aided learning for teacher and students in promoting assimilation of knowledge. Methodology: The paper used a desk study review methodology where relevant empirical literature was reviewed to identify main themes and to extract knowledge gaps. Findings: The study concluded that all the teachers and majority of the students (93.2%) disagreed to the statement that they had never used a computer and that they were not interested. Based on teachers’ perceptions towards the use of computer aided learning all the teachers’ strongly disagreed to the statement that computers scare them. Analysis of results showed that the teachers had a positive attitude towards computer aided learning. They therefore agreed that they believed computers were important teaching tool. The study also concluded that he school boards of management were partly involved in the training of teachers on computer aided learning and that the ministry of education also organized training courses for teachers on computer aided learning. Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: The study suggests that parents associations (PA) in schools should develop a PA fund and organize equipping schools with more computers and other computer aided learning resources in order to make teaching and learning using computer aided learning easier. The current study suggests that there is need to organize in-service training for teachers in order to equip them with expertise skills and knowledge and build their confidence with ICT tools.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to establish the influence of internet use on socialization among undergraduate students of University of NairobiMethodology: The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The accessible population of the study was 15, 000 from main campus. Data was collected from a sample of 384 students from the university via use of questionnaire and an interview guide as data collection tools which contained both closed and open ended questions and encouraged the respondents to participate due to anonymity. The data collected was analyzed by use of descriptive statistics. In particular excel SPSS and frequency tables were used.Results: The study findings indicated that internet use may not have a negative effect on socialization as indicated in literature. The findings uphold that internet users spend more time socializing with friends when compared to non-users. The forms of internet mostly used by University of Nairobi students are internet enabled cell phones followed by computer labs and cyber cafes. Internet enabled cell phones were preferred because of the portability, convenience and cost while computer labs was preferred because of accessibility and the fact that they are free. The social sites mostly used by both the undergraduate students were Facebook, electronic mail, yahoo messenger, twitter and Skype.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study recommended that since university of Nairobi undergraduates are frequent users of the internet, the university should increase the number of computers in the computer lab. It was also recommended that the university should exploit this avenue and ensure that more educational content are passed onto the students through the internet. This will pave way for e-learning. The university may use social media to reach the students as a part of a whistle blower policy where anonymous comments are posted, blogs and contributions on a certain issue can also be posted.
