Purpose: The purpose of the study was emotion detection on Kenyan tweets as a powerful tool in detecting and recognizing the various feelings among netizens and provide critical analytics that can be used in various platforms for decision making.Methodology: This research study adopted a descriptive research design approach. The researcher preferred this method because it allowed an in-depth study of the subject. The target population will be twitter account holders with twitter followers ranging between 100,000 up to 2000, 000 in Kenya. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study will employ a census approach to collect data from the respondents hence no sampling techniques will be used. According to Larry (2013) a census is a count of all the elements in a population. The sample size will be the 150 respondents .Quantitative data was analyzed using multiple regression analysis. The qualitative data generated was analyzed by use of Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.Results: The response rate of the study was 64%.The findings of the study indicated that hashtags, emojis, GIF’s and adjectives have a positive relationship with emotion detection in Kenya.Conclusion: R square value of 0.715 means that 71.5% of the corresponding categorization in emotion ontology can be explained or predicted by (hashtags, emojis, GIF’s and adjectives) which indicated that the model fitted the study data. The results of regression analysis revealed that there was a significant positive relationship between dependent variable and independent variable at (β = 0.715), p=0.000 <0.05).Policy recommendation: Finally, the study recommended that twitter account holders should embrace various emotion detecting platforms so as to improve how they articulate issues and further researches should to be carried out in other social media platforms to find out if the same results can be obtained.

Purpose: This study sought to establish the effect of strategic outsourcing approaches on the performance of manufacturing.Methodology: A descriptive survey design was adopted, informed by the relatively small population of the listed manufacturing and allied companies, which doubled as the target population of the study. A structured and closed- ended questionnaire was used to collect primary data, administered by drop and pick a method. Total of (72) strategic managers drawn from the nine manufacturing firms were involved in the study. Data collected was quantitatively scrutinized based on research objectives and presented in form of tables and charts for interpretation. The data was then be analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics supported by the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS), version 22. Regression analysis was done to ascertain the effect of strategic outsourcing approaches on performance. The response rate of the study was 92%.Results and conclusion: The findings of the study showed that strategic professional outsourcing, strategic manufacturing outsourcing, strategic business process outsourcing and strategic project outsourcing have a positive relationship with performance of performance of the manufacturing companies listed at the Nairobi Security Exchange. The results of the regression analysis revealed there is a significant positive relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variable. The independent variables reported R-value of .805 indicating that there is a perfect relationship between a dependent variable and independent variables. R square value of 0.647 means that 64.7% of the corresponding variation in performance of manufacturing companies listed at the Nairobi Security Exchange can be explained or predicted by (strategic professional outsourcing, strategic manufacturing outsourcing, strategic business process outsourcing and strategic project outsourcing) which indicated that the model fitted the study data. The results of the regression analysis revealed that there was a significant positive relationship between the dependent variable and independent variable at (β = 0.647), p=0.000 <0.05).Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Finally, the study commends that manufacturing companies listed at the Nairobi Security Exchange embrace the various strategic outsourcing approaches as a way to improve their performance. Equally, the study recommends similar studies be carried out in other industries across the country and in abroad to ascertain if the same results can be obtained and generalized.

This research was conducted with the aim to study the relationship of arm strength and fighting strength to the side shot results. This study discusses the presence or absence of a relationship. The method used in this research is descriptive research method with quantitative research. In this study data collection techniques using the test, for arm strength using the ball medicine test, for the strength of the battle using the hand grip test. The population used in this study were 12 members of the STKIP Pasundan Cimahi Student Activity Unit (UKM). Based on the research data, the results of the experimental arm strength and side shoot results are as broad as 0.1643, then the arm muscle strength has a positive relationship to the side shoot results. To challenge the existing power and the side shot result of 0.5534, the strength of hand combat has a positive relationship with the side shot result. And to fight the strength of the arm muscles and the strength of the side shot results as broad as 0.7439, the strength of the muscles together with the strength of the hand gives a positive influence on the results of the side shot. It can be interpreted that good arm muscle strength and hand strength will be presented with good side firing results too.
