Abstract: The Kenyan team that competed at the International Summer Special Olympics comprised 38 athletes (both men and women) selected from all competitors at the national championships. The team was examined and a physiological fitness test carried out. The results enabled the organizers to arrange for treatment of prevailing illnesses, and the training programme was adjusted to the athletes' level. This team was voted the best team of the month of July, having won 33 gold, three silver and two bronze medals. Sound medical care of athletes should be taken before and during competition. Such management should aim at minimizing injuries and enabling athletes to perform at their best. URI: http://repository.daystar.ac.ke/xmlui/handle/123456789/3111 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Objective-To investigate injuries in international rugby football. Methods-All injuries that led to temporary stoppage of the game or to the substitution of a player during the Rugby World Cup qualifying tournament were recorded. Six matches were played, involving the Arabian Gulf, Kenya, Namibia, and Zimbabwe. Results-47 injuries were recorded, giving an injury rate of eight per match. The number of injuries decreased from 38-3% in the first matches to 23-4% in the final ones. The most serious injury was a concussion and the majority of the injuries affected soft tissues. Anatomically, the lower limbs suffered most injuries (46-80/6), followed by the head (21-3%), trunk (17-0%), and upper limbs (12-8%). Slightly more injuries occurred in the defensive half of the field of play (53-2%) than in the offensive half (46.8%). More injuries occurred in the second half (61-7%) than in the first half (38.3%). Conclusions-Protective equipment should be introduced to miniimise the number and seriousness of injuries in rugby.

Wekesa, Moni (Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice, January 30, 2015)
[more][less]Abstract: Unregulated biomedical research has previously caused untold suffering to humankind. History is full of examples of abuse of animal and human subjects for research. Several codes and instruments have been formulated to regulate biomedical research. In Kenya, the Science, Technology and Innovation Act, 2014, together with the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, provide a fairly robust legal framework. Possible challenges include capacity building, overlap of functions of institutions, monitoring and evaluation, scientific/technological advances, intellectual property rights, funding for research, and dispute resolution. It is hoped that the new legislation will adequately address these challenges. URI: http://repository.daystar.ac.ke/xmlui/handle/123456789/3109 Files in this item: 1

Wekesa, Moni; Shihanya, Ben (Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, 2009)
[more][less]Abstract: For decades, Konrad Adenauer Stiftung has endeavoured to promote and protect the rule of law around the world out of the recognition that this is essential for the enjoyment of human and political rights, and that it forms a fundamental pillar for achieving fair, sustainable and broad-based socioeconomic growth and prosperity. In these hard and trying times for the world economy, the need for rule of law reforms that encourage entrepreneurship and business development cannot be gainsaid. Respect for the rule of law not only creates favourable conditions that foster business development, but also provides essential assurance and confidence for investors. Whereas, the concept of the rule of law encompasses a very wide scope in the field of economy, this publication on fines itself to the protection of intellectual property rights in the Kenyan context. It is undoubted that if Kenya’s Vision 2030 is to be realized, the protection and promotion of intellectual property rights which includes patents, trademarks and copyrights must be granted due attention. This will offer inventors and artists the much needed confidence and trust, in addition to offering them the legal incentive to create and explore further, since they are assured of exclusive rights for a finite period of time. These guarantees will not only allow innovators to recoup the costs put into creating products but are also essential for creating and sustaining modern, knowledge and technology based economies necessary to develop in today’s global market. Consumers and traders too, stand to benefit from the enforcement of intellectual property rights because this will help in ensuring product safety and increase the likelihood of access to cutting-edge and innovative products and services. We hope that this publication will offer valuable information to its users on the general aspects of the intellectual property rights in Kenya, but more importantly, that it will contribute towards the improvement and strengthening of intellectual property rights regime in Kenya as the country positions itself to compete with other nations in this highly dynamic and sophisticated world market.
