Moreover, the influence of social capital has shown divergent outcomes. Nevertheless, the environment in which businesses operate is core. Therefore, this paper argues that social capital effect on cooperative societies' performance is significantly moderated by technological environment.</p> <p><strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> A cross-sectional survey research design was used in collecting data from 361 executives of cooperative societies operating in Ogun State, Nigeria, selected through the stratified sampling technique. Also conducted were the reliability and validity tests on the adapted questionnaire before utilizing it for this study.</p> <p><strong>Findings:</strong> The hierarchical regression analysis results revealed that social capital effect on cooperative societies performance in Ogun State, Nigeria, was negative and not significantly moderated by the technological environment (<em>β</em>= -0.016,&nbsp;<em>t</em>= -1.456, ∆<em>R</em>2 = 0.001, ∆<em>F</em>= 2.120,&nbsp;<em>p</em>&gt;0.05).</p> <p><strong>Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy:</strong> Since, statistically, the technological environment had a negative and insignificant effect strengthens the report by the AU Inter-Africa Information System and African Union Commission on Cooperatives, and thus, the need for executives of cooperative societies in Nigeria to invest in technology is germane because a business lagging in technology in this present era and business climate will gradually but surely not survive.</p> Egwakhe, J.

The main objective was to ascertain the influence of gender based violence on public health consequences among refugees in Uganda.</p> <p><strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> In an effort to address the set objective, a cross-sectional survey design which followed both quantitative and qualitative research approaches was adopted.&nbsp; Quantitative and qualitative research approaches were used because they are complementary methods that work well together to&nbsp;provide insights that are both deep and wide. Data was collected from a total quantitative sample of 311 refugees. A qualitative sample of 68 of refugee stakeholders’ and officials from office of the Prime Minister in Uganda was determined by saturation point approach. The data was analysed at descriptive and inferential level, and later a Path Equation Model was fitted through Structural Equation Modelling in Stata Version 14.0.</p> <p><strong>Findings:</strong> The key reference in the study is Sarfo-Kantankah, K. S. (2022), who avers that violence against women includes any act of verbal or physical force, coercion or life-threatening deprivation, directed at an individual woman or girl that causes physical or psychological harm, humiliation or arbitrary deprivation of liberty and that perpetuates female subordination. The overall result in regard to Gender Based Violence among refugees in selected refugee campcamp indicate that it is highly practiced (M = 5.32, SD = 0.88). The results also indicated exists there exists a positive significant influence of Gender Based violence on public health consequences of the refugees (r = 0.379). This relationship is statistically significant since the associated p – value of 0.000 is less than 0.05 (p&lt; 0.001).&nbsp; The study concluded that that sufficient evidence substantiates significant relationship exists between gender based violence and Public Health Consequences. Finally, the study reveals that the biggest numbers of refugees are semi illiterate and this makes them unable to access any viable source of income which may give them or expose them to gender based violence and the associated public health consequences which result or impact the society negatively. Therefore, equipping these refugees with some skills may help them to be preoccupied with economic activities which will eventually have an impact on their life styles and hence help to mitigate the challenge of gender based Violence.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy:</strong> The government and other refugees’ stakeholders should devise strategies to enhance the literacy levels such that the refugees may be able to understand and collaborate in not only reducing gender based violence but also be able to take decisions for which the refugee sector relies on.</p> Joyce Nalunga Nazarious Rukanyangira Pio Frank Kiyingi Copyright (c) 2024 Joyce Nalunga, Nazarious Rukanyangira, Pio Frank Kiyingi http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-03-20 2024-03-20 9 2 1 24 10.47672/jsm.1885
