Homa Bay County Annual Development Plan 2025/2026
Get PDFHom Bay County's annual Development plan for the fiscal year 2025/2026 represents a pivotal strategic framework aimed at driving the county's growth and enhancing residents' quality of life. The comprehensive plan encompasses a broad approach to economic development, Infrastructure improvement and community needs. developed through extensive consultation and collaborative efforts, the CADP alighns with both national and regional development goals while addressing local aspirations and requirements. it integrates insight from chapter two of the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) which reviews current development landscapes including sectoral performance and community needs. These insights ensure that the CADP reflects a nuanced understanding of the county's development context and sets a clear path for future progress
Bomet County Fiscal Strategy Paper 2025
No full textCounty governments are required by law to prepare Annual Development Plan as part of the integrated plans, this is stipulated in Sections 104, 105 and 108 of the County Government Act, 2012. The plans are meant to inform the county developmental strategic interventions taking into consideration the linkages between county plans, the national planning framework and meaningful engagement of citizens in the planning process through collection, collation, storage and updating of data and information suitable for the planning processes.
Additionally, the ADP as outlined in section 126 of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), 2012 is one of the plans that form the county planning framework. The ADP 2024-2025 provides the basis for implementation of the County Integrated Development Plan in this case (CIDP 2023-2027) and act as a guide in resource allocation to priority programmes and projects for the FY 2024-2025.
The preparation of this document involved working closely with the various County departments’ technical people, incorporating inputs shared by the members of the public, development partners and the County Budget and Economic Forum (CBEF).
Further, the preparation of ADP 2024-25 got great guidance from the major County and National Government Policy documents particularly the Busia County Integrated Development Plan (2023-2027), the draft fourth Medium Term Plan-MTP IV (2023 – 2027) of the Vision 2030, and most importantly the governor’s manifesto. Of importance to note, under ADP 2024-25 the big dream of the Busia County aggregation and industrial park (CAIP) will continue being implemented
Kajiado County Annual Development Plan 2025/2026
No full textThe Annual Development Plan (ADP) for Financial Year (FY) 2025/26 has been prepared in line with the provisions of Article 220 (2) of the Constitution and the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act, 2012 section 126. The PFM Act requires each County government to prepare a development plan. The 2025/26 FY ADP is a component of the 2023-2027 County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) which is anchored on the Kenya Vision 2030 and its 2023-2027 Medium Term Plan (MTP); and the international commitments such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Africa Agenda 2063. During the plan preparation process, the County employed a participatory approach involving all the County sectors and the public through public participation fora. The sectors provided review reports for the previous ADP as well as proposals for the 2024/25 ADP. Preparation of the ADP further involved a comprehensive public participation and stakeholder engagement
Spin-orbit correlation and spatial distributions for spin-0 hadrons
No full textInternational audienceThe spin-orbit correlation in spin-0 hadrons can be investigated through the kinetic energy-momentum tensor form factor . We observe that the latter is also related to a torque about the radial direction, which we interpret as a chiral stress. If we neglect the quark mass contribution, then is simply proportional to the electromagnetic form factor for spin-0 hadrons, and the spin-orbit correlation is equal to minus half of the valence quark number. Given the extensive studies on the electromagnetic form factor for spin-0 hadrons such as pions, kaons, and the particle, we present the spatial distributions of chiral stress and kinetic spin-orbit correlation based on current parametrizations of the pion electromagnetic form factor
Pressure inside hadrons: criticism, conjectures, and all that
No full textInternational audienceThe interpretation of the energy-momentum tensor form factor of hadrons in terms of pressure and shear force distributions is discussed, concerns raised in the literature are reviewed, and ways to reconcile the concerns with the interpretation are indicated
Identification of paramagnetic species in silver-doped barium–germanium–gallium glass exposed to electron irradiation
No full textInternational audienceIonizing irradiation was performed on barium-germanium-gallium (BGG) glasses using a 2.5 MeV electron beam. Through electron spin resonance spectroscopy, paramagnetic point defects, such as germanium-and gallium-related electron and hole trap centers, have been identified. The presence of silver in the BGG glass appears to hinder the stability of these defects at lower energy doses (10 4 Gy), with silver becoming the main trapping center. At higher energy doses (10 6 Gy), the glass undergoes structural modifications, hindering the trapping process of silver ions. Additionally, we evidence the importance of alkaline elements such as potassium and sodium on silver ions trapped centers' formation
Fast basecases for arbitrary-size multiplication
No full textMultiple precision libraries typically use assembly-optimized loops for basecase operations on variable-length operands. We consider the alternative of generating lookup tables with hardcoded routines for many fixed sizes, e.g. for all multiplications up to 16 by 8 words. On recent ARM64 and x86-64 CPUs, we demonstrate up to a 2x speedup over GMP for basecase-sized multiplication and a 20% speedup for Karatsubasized operands. We pay special attention to the computation of approximate products and demonstrate up to a 3x speedup over GMP/MPFR for floating-point multiplication
Topological Quantum Spin Hall Semimetals with Light
No full textInternational audienceWe introduce a quantum spin Hall semimetal or Fermi liquid characterized with a Z2 topological invariant, measurable through circularly polarized light. We propose its engineering through two topological metallic band structures in crystals on the honeycomb lattice, with spin-orbit interaction, realizable through the interplay of a charge or spin density wave substrate and Zeeman effects, in between a quantum spin Hall and a quantum anomalous Hall insulator. These systems show topologically protected helical edge or photo-induced currents
ONE TO BEAT THEM ALL: "RYU" - A UNIFYING FRAMEWORK FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF SAFE BALLS
No full textInternational audienceIn this paper, we put forth a novel framework (named "RYU") for the construction of "safe" balls, i.e., regions that provably contain the dual solution of a target optimization problem. We concentrate on the standard setup where the cost function is the sum of two terms: a closed, proper, convex Lipschitz-smooth function and a closed, proper, convex function. The RYU framework is shown to generalize or improve upon all the results proposed in the last decade for the considered family of optimization problems
Left heart hemodynamics simulations with fluid-structure interaction and reduced valve modeling
No full textInternational audienceThe combination of reduced models of cardiac valve dynamics with a one-way kinematic uncoupling of blood flow and electromechanics is a widespread approach for reducing the complexity of cardiac hemodynamics simulations. This comes however with a number of shortcomings: artificial pressure oscillations, missing isovolumetric phases and valve laws without precise continuous formulation. This paper is aimed at overcoming these three difficulties while still mitigating computational cost. A novel reduced model of valve dynamics is proposed in which unidirectional flow is enforced in a mathematically sound fashion. Artificial pressure oscillations are overcome by considering a fluid-structure interaction model, which couples bi-ventricular electromechanics and blood flow in the left cavities. The interface coupling is solved in a partitioned fashion via an unconditionally stable loosely coupled scheme. A priori energy estimates are derived for both the continuous coupled problem and its numerical approximation. The benefits and limitations of the proposed approaches are illustrated in a comprehensive numerical study
