Analysis of Contemporary Issues in Disproportionate Access to Finance and Women‐to‐Women Empowerment in Africa
Recently, there has been a resurgence of interest in the implications of emerging barriers to women entrepreneurs due to their impact on the realisation of Sustainable Development Goals. Thus, this study examines the effects of funding mechanisms on women entrepreneurs' ability to employ other women in Africa. This study employs causal mediation analysis and Bayesian model averaging on World Bank Enterprise Survey data spanning 44 countries from …
Forecasting Under-5 Mortality Rate in Somalia to 2030
Background Accurate forecasting of the Under-5 Mortality Rate (U5MR) is essential for monitoring health progress and informing policy interventions in conflict-affected regions. In Somalia, achieving the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3.2 target of reducing child mortality to at least 25 deaths per 1,000 live births by 2030 remains a formidable challenge due to persistent socio-political instability and economic shocks. Methods Utilizing a tw…
Tracking progress towards sustainable development goal 3.2 in Somalia using time series models
BACKGROUND: High infant mortality rate (IMR) is a critical public health indicator. Understanding its trajectory is vital for policymaking, particularly in Somalia, where rates remain elevated. This study aimed to model and forecast Somalia's IMR to identify the most accurate method, providing data-driven insights for public health strategy. OBJECTIVES: The study aimed to formulate time series models, propose hybrid models, and rigorously compare…
Spatial distribution and multilevel determinants of unvaccinated children in Somaliland
Children who have never received any vaccination represent one of the clearest markers of health system inequity. In this study, unvaccinated status was defined as caregiver report that a child under five years had never received any routine vaccine, reflecting complete non-vaccination rather than dose-specific (e.g., DTP1-based) definitions. This study examined the prevalence and determinants of unvaccinated children in Somaliland using national…
Bayesian joint spatial modeling of child malnutrition and household food insecurity among under-five children in Somaliland
Malnutrition and household food insecurity are major public health concerns among under-five children in Somaliland, often sharing overlapping risk factors. Using data from the 2020 Somaliland Health and Demographic Survey (n = 3961), this study assessed their prevalence, spatial distribution, and shared determinants through descriptive statistics, spatial autocorrelation, and a multivariate Bayesian spatial model. The prevalence of malnutrition …
Risk communication to vulnerable populations on crimes in the Economic Community of West Africa
This research study examines how risk communications on personal and societal security are conducted within the Economic Community of West African States, using Ghana as a case study. The research focused on Ghana due to its status and ranking as a leading democratic and peaceful nation within a turbulent region, in comparison to Kenya, a member of the East African Community and the Southern African Development Community. In addition to field dat…
Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on number of deaths in Ghana
Over the past three years, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has caused millions of unexpected deaths worldwide. Ghana, like many other countries, recorded numerous COVID-19 deaths. The number of deaths from the commencement of the crisis formed a time series. This study examines the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the number of deaths in Ghana using intervention analysis on time series data. Initially, we generated an ARIMA (3, 1, 0) …
An extreme value analysis of daily new cases of Covid-19 in Africa
Modeling COVID-19 cases in Africa is crucial for developing effective public health strategies, allocating resources efficiently, and mitigating the impact of the pandemic on vulnerable populations. A recent paper by the first author provided an extreme value analysis of daily new cases of COVID-19 from sixteen countries in west Africa. In this paper, we broaden our analysis to encompass data spanning all fifty four African nations over a period …
Psychological impacts of the Gaza war on Palestinian young adults
The study detected very high rates of psychiatric disorders among its population of young adult medical students and outlined a myriad of risk factors associated with higher comorbidity. Interventions are needed to prevent a brewing mental health crisis in the Gaza Strip
Better models for Gibrat’s data
The Role of Transportation in the Enrollment of Elderly African Americans into Exercise and Memory Study
Background Understanding the factors driving recruitment and enrollment of African Americans (AA)s in clinical translational research will assure that underrepresented populations benefit from scientific progress and new developments in the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders. While transportation is pivotal to volunteers’ ability to participate in research, its contribution to enrollment in exercise studies on AD…
