Purpose: The purpose of this study was to establish the effect of integrated information technology on sustainable mobility of Matatu Saccos in Nairobi County, Kenya. Materials and Methods: The study was guided by Positivism philosophy while descriptive research design was adopted. The target population was 177 Sacco Managers and two representatives, one from MOT and other from MVOA respectively.  The whole population of 179 respondents was used in the study hence; the study employed the census approach. The questionnaire was pilot tested on 18 respondents who were selected randomly. The study applied Cronbach's alpha and the results displayed a high level of internal consistency hence infers that the research tool used in the study was reliable. The data collection instrument was a semi-structured questionnaire, which were dropped and picked later. A semi-structured interview guide was also used. Data was analysed using descriptive and SPSS Version 24. Results: The research findings indicatd that most Saccos have embraced speed-recording devices, vehicle-tracking devices, and that Sacco’s were using smartphones. Correlation analysis showed that information technology had a strong positive significant relationship on sustainable mobility of Matatu Saccos in Nairobi County, Kenya (rho = 0.821, p value <0.05). This was confirmed by regression analysis which showed positive and significant influence of integrated information on sustainable mobility (β = 1.140, t statistics = 16.582, p value <0.05).  This suggested that there is a causal effect of IIT on sustainable mobility. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The research findings indicated that most Saccos have embraced speed-recording devices, vehicle-tracking devices, and that Sacco’s were using smartphones. Correlation analysis showed that information technology had a strong positive significant relationship on sustainable mobility of Matatu Saccos in Nairobi County, Kenya (rho = 0.821, p value <0.05). This was confirmed by regression analysis which showed positive and significant influence of integrated information on sustainable mobility (β = 1.140, t statistics = 16.582, p value <0.05).  This suggested that there is a causal effect of IIT on sustainable mobility.

The predictive analytics is the most commonly used methodology in the usage of Machine Learning class of algorithms. Based on the values generated at the time of running the algorithm the significance of the model can be estimated. The current work gives a complete focus on P value and the significance levels of the P value in the correlation analysis of the algorithms. Based on the P value the impact of the model can be notified and the interpretation of the results can be done in the efficient way. The other dimension of the work is the usage of statistical functionalities in the regression analysis, most of the researchers are focusing on the shallow usage of regression analysis in the classification of the tasks. The current work explains the complete internals of the regression models available and the usage of the statistical functionalities utilized in the implementation of the corresponding variants of the algorithms. We believe that the current work exclusively helps the upcoming researcher in the areas of regression in the context of the statistical functionalities which are vital in the implementation of the tasks. The outcome of the work is to exploit the correlation analysis with various significance levels and the issues in the processing of the analysis. The another point here is the regression internals with the focus of statistical methods available in the processing of regression variants. The regression analysis involves various types like linear regression, multiple regressions and logistic regression. The current work gives an overview of all these three types of regressions and also the significance of P value in the prediction of outcome. In the examples such as house rate prediction based on the given area, salary of an employee based on the experience level, profit of the start-up companies based on the spending on research, admin marketing and state of the country are best suitable in the explanation of regression.

The basic dimensions and the mass of common beech nuts and seeds from five nut batches, harvested from tree stands in northern Poland, were determined. Environmental conditions had a greater influence on seed plumpness than the age of tree stands. The results of measurements were analyzed statistically by analysis of variance, correlation analysis and linear regression analysis. Despite differences in their plumpness, nuts were characterized by nearly identical cross-sections which resembled an equilateral triangle. The thickness of nuts and seeds was highly correlated with their mass, and this information can facilitate seed husking and separation into mass categories. Before and after husking, seeds should be separated with the use of a mesh screen with longitudinal openings. Medium-sized (most numerous) seeds were separated into the following plumpness categories using a screen separator with ≠6 mm and ≠7 mm openings: 84% of moderately plump seeds, 3% of seeds with reduced plumpness, and 13% of plump seeds.


Background: Information technology (IT) is a new way of teaching and learning. One of the promising media of information technology is e-Learning, which is used to enhance knowledge and skills among users. A student gains better and deep knowledge through a useful tool. This survey aimed to determine practices among medical students for e-Learning. Methods: This cross-sectional survey was conducted on 184 students amongst the 500 students currently enrolled in medical college.
