The increasing adoption of digital technologies has transformed public administration by enhancing efficiency, transparency, and accountability. In Nigeria, the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) was introduced to improve payroll administration, eliminate ghost workers, and strengthen public financial management. Despite these achievements, the growing dependence on digital platforms has exposed government information systems to cybersecurity threats capable of undermining accountability and public trust. This study examined the cybersecurity challenges confronting the IPPIS and their implications for public sector accountability. Specifically, the study investigated the effects of cybersecurity threats, cybersecurity control measures, and cybersecurity policy compliance on public sector accountability. A cross-sectional survey research design was adopted, and primary data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to employees of selected Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) operating under the IPPIS framework. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 27. The findings revealed that cybersecurity control measures significantly enhance public sector accountability (β = 0.470, p < .05), while cybersecurity policy compliance exerts the strongest positive influence (β = 0.586, p < .05). Conversely, cybersecurity threats had a negative but statistically insignificant effect (β = –0.068, p > .05). The study concludes that effective cybersecurity governance is indispensable for sustaining transparency, accountability, and integrity in Nigeria's digital public administration. It recommends continuous investment in cybersecurity infrastructure, strict enforcement of cybersecurity policies, regular staff capacity building, and strengthened institutional governance to improve the resilience of government information systems.

Arid and semi-arid areas (ASALs) are highly vulnerable to drought, water and forage scarcity, land degradation, and socioeconomic shocks, threatening livestock assets and pastoral livelihoods. This review synthesizes literature published between 2020 and 2026 on livestock production, resilience, and sustainable livelihoods, with a focus on Kenya and the wider Horn of Africa. It examines feed and fodder systems, climate-resilient breeding, animal health, rangeland management, pastoral mobility, livestock marketing and value addition, climate information, insurance, livelihood diversification, and inclusive institutions. The evidence confirms that livestock remain central to food security, income, savings, employment, and household resilience, but recurrent droughts can erode herds and prolong recovery. Building resilience therefore requires integrated interventions that strengthen feed and animal health, promote locally adapted breeds and climate-resilient husbandry, restore rangelands, and support sustainable grazing and mobility. Improved markets, value addition, financial and climate-risk services, and livelihood diversification can further increase returns and reduce vulnerability, while gender-responsive approaches, local knowledge, social networks, and inclusive governance support adoption and sustainability. Overall, the literature suggests that isolated interventions are unlikely to deliver durable resilience. Sustainable pastoral development requires context-specific packages that increase productivity and value per animal while protecting rangelands and strengthening adaptive capacity. Future policy, investment, and research should therefore integrate feed security, breeding, animal health, rangeland governance, mobility, market development, climate-risk financing, livelihood diversification, and social inclusion to strengthen pastoral livelihoods and sustain dryland ecosystems.

Dairy cooperatives play a critical role in integrating smallholder farmers into milk markets by aggregating production, reducing transaction costs, strengthening collective bargaining power, and facilitating access to markets and services. However, their operational performance may be constrained by dispersed milk production, inefficient collection and transportation systems, inadequate infrastructure, and weak market coordination. This study examined the association between aggregation strategies and the operational performance of dairy cooperative societies in Kiambu County, Kenya. A descriptive cross-sectional research design was employed, covering 19 dairy cooperative societies. Managers, board members, and cooperative-member employees served as key informants. A stratified purposive sampling procedure targeted 78 respondents, of whom 69 completed the questionnaire, yielding an 88.46% response rate. Primary data were collected using structured questionnaires, while secondary data on 2024 milk production volumes and milk payment rates were obtained from the Kenya Dairy Board. Operational performance was measured using a composite Operational Performance Index (OPI), calculated as annual milk volume multiplied by the average annual milk payment per litre and subsequently natural-log transformed. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, diagnostic tests, and multiple linear regression. The findings revealed a strong positive correlation between aggregation strategies and operational performance (r = 0.852, p < 0.01). After controlling for technology adoption and governance practices, aggregation strategies remained a positive and statistically significant predictor of operational performance (β = 0.988, SE = 0.346, t = 2.86, p = 0.012). The overall regression model was statistically significant and explained 85.7% of the variation in log operational performance (R² = 0.857; F(3,15) = 29.874, p < 0.001). Qualitative findings identified decentralized milk collection, investment in collection and cooling infrastructure, collective marketing, coordinated transportation, and cost-efficient aggregation as key mechanisms through which cooperatives could improve operational efficiency and market coordination. The study concludes that well-organized aggregation strategies are an important organizational capability associated with stronger operational performance among dairy cooperatives. It recommends strategic investment in decentralized collection systems, cold-chain infrastructure, coordinated transportation, collective marketing, and cost-management practices, complemented by effective technology adoption and governance. Given the cross-sectional design and small number of cooperatives, the findings should be interpreted as evidence of association rather than definitive causality.

The study examines Githa Hariharan's debut novel, The Thousand Faces of Night (1992) which explores the intertextual correlation between classical Indian epics and the framework of contemporary female self - discovery. Hariharan employs the epic elements of The Mahabharata and The Ramayana, they traditionally provide moral structure for “Ideal” womanhood — which is symbolized by figures like Sita, Gandhari, and Amba. She linked here mythic archetypes to emphasize the psychological and social entanglement of the modern Indian woman. In this paper, it has been explored how the novel reclaims ancient myths to destabilize the patriarchal assumptions. The study further indicates that Hariharan does not simply reproduce these legends but also utilize them as a counter-narrative. The work highlights the discrepancy between the idealized domestic sphere and the systematic oppression experienced within it. Instead of following the old script of ‘suffering in silence’, the protagonist Devi finds her power by choosing her own path over societal expectations of sacrifice. Ultimately, Hariharan uses her literary references as a feminist weapon, turning old myths once used to keep women in their place - into a blueprint for defiance.
