Based on the findings, the study concluded that market risk on financial performance of commercial banks in Busia county Kenya β1=0.488, p value= 0.001). The relationship was considered significant since the p value 0.000 was less than the significant level of 0.05. The study came up with the following recommendations; the financial management should ensure that that they work on Market risk to reduce severe losses within a short period of time among volatile market conditions hence contribute to lack collapse among institutions in harsh situations. To take into consideration the market risk which comprises of exchange rate, inflation and interest rate risks that affect the financial performance of banks. The finding will be of significant to the researchers, academicians, stakeholders and to the entire economy as a whole.

Factors of Cash Flow Management on Financial Performance of Selected Commercial Banks in Bungoma County, Kenya
Full text linkAbstract: Cash flows are narrowly interconnected with the concepts of value, interest rate and liquidity (Auerbach, A. J., & Devereux, M. P. (2013). Proper cash flow management systems in business help the managers to: Control spending with respect to the specified budget, minimize borrowing and maximise the opportunity cost of its company’s resources (Bari et al., 2019). Cash flow management as defined by Ward (2020) is the “process of monitoring, analyzing, and optimizing the net amount of cash receipts minus cash expenses. Net cash flow is an important measure of financial health for any business”. The purpose of the study was to analyze the selected factors of cash flow management on Financial Performance of commercial banks in Bungoma County, Kenya. Specific objectives of the study was to assess the effect of payables management on Financial Performance of commercial banks in Bungoma County, Kenya. The study was based on Portfolio theory of Cash Management, Cash Management theory, Transaction Cost theory, Free Cash Flow theory and pecking order theory. The study used descriptive research design. The target population of the study was 68 employees in management and supervisory cadres in commercial banks in Bungoma County, Kenya. Census was adopted since the target population was small. Data collection instruments was questionnaires. Data collection methods was both primary and secondary. The data was analyzed using Statistical Program for Social Sciences (SPSS) windows version 23. Multiple linear regression analysis was carried out to analyze the selected factors of cash flow management on Financial Performance of commercial banks in Bungoma County, Kenya. Pilot test was carried out for validity and reliability of research instruments. Regression analysis was carried out to test the significant levels of one variable to the other in the study. ANOVA was carried out to test the hypotheses of the study. Based on the findings, payables management was found to a significant influence financial performance of commercial banks in Bungoma County. The study recommends that management of commercial banks should universally considered that cash is most liquid asset because it can most quickly and easily be converted into other assets and that commercial banks profitability is influenced by current ratios, quick ratios and cash ratios. The management should take into considerations that dynamic financial management process and its effectiveness is directly correlated with a firm’s ability to realize its mission, goals and objectives. The commercial banks should ensure that accounts payables arise from purchasing goods or services for use in a company’s operations or purchasing merchandise for sale on credit and. that creditor’s turnover, payables deferral period and cash conversion cycle determines payables determines payables management. They should also be informed that accounts payable is the largest single category of short term debt, representing about forty percent of the average corporation’s current liabilities and payables management enhances financial performance of commercial banks. The study was significant to the researchers, banking sector and the government of Kenya in formulation of different financial decisions and in policy making.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
