This study investigates the effectiveness of food safety control systems at Zambia’s border posts, focusing on institutional capacities, infrastructure readiness, and inter-agency coordination. Against the backdrop of increasing regional trade under frameworks such as the AfCFTA, and persistent...

This study presents a model of the hydrogen atom for the orbital angular momentum l = 1 and l = 3 using the causal interpretation also referred to as the Bohm-de Broglie interpretation of quantum mechanics. The causal interpretation is an alternative interpretation of quantum mechanics that gives...

This study aims to investigate Zambia’s manufacturing finance, drawing lessons from Newly Industrialised Countries (NICs), with a view to generate policy prescriptions that may navigate Zambia’s manufacturing finance to its optimal level. The study has four objectives: to determine the NICs on...

This dissertation develops a first-order multivariate Poisson integer-valued autoregressive (MPINAR(1)) model to improve disease outbreak detection in public health surveillance systems. The MPINAR(1) model is proposed as a computationally tractable alternative to the general multivariate...

This dissertation develops a negative binomial integer-valued generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic model of order p, q (negative binomial INGARCH(p, q)) for overdispersed count time series data with potential extreme values. The model is formulated such that its conditional...
