    Impact of mass Ivermectin administration and vector control on the prevalence of onchocerciasis in Kanyege Community, Masindi District
    (Makerere University, 2018) Katongole, Christopher
    The main objective of the study was to assess the impact of the duo intervention of mass Ivermectin administration and vector control on the prevalence of onchocerciasis among participants aged five years and above in Kanyege community, Masindi district. Specific objectives were to establish the Onchocerca nodular prevalence, microfilaria prevalence and community microfilaria load among persons aged five years and above. This study adopted a population-based descriptive cross sectional design accompanied by data collection and analysis. The studied sample size was 211 calculated using the Yamane (1967) formula. The study variables were age, sex, presence of nodules and prevalence for microfilaria. Results for 180 respondents were randomly selected from the pool of 211 people that were examined and compared with the already available baseline data. Double data entry was initially conducted in Microsoft Excel and data was exported to SPSS to perform a t-test analysis and a p-value of 0.05 was considered to be significant. Results indicated that study participants constituted an equal number of both sexes (90 people from each sex) as opposed to 46.1% (83/180) and 53.9% (97/180) who were male and female participants respectively at baseline. The study revealed that microfilaria prevalence and Community Microfilaria Load (CMFL) were 2.8% (5/180) and 0.02 as compared to 82.2% (148/180) and 48.2 at baseline in 2007, respectively. Overall, Onchocerciasis nodule prevalence among study participants was 0.6% (n=180) compared to 51.7% (n=180) at baseline in 2007. The study revealed a nodule prevalence of 1.1% (n=91) among males and 0% (n=89) in females as compared to 50.6% (n=83) and 52.6% (n=97) respectively, at baseline. These results suggest that the nine years of duo intervention using semi-annual mass treatment with Ivermectin combined with Simulium vector control has reduced the prevalence of onchocerciasis in Kanyege community.

    Assessment of science process skills among students during chemistry practical activities
    (Makerere University, 2018) Ariho, Gilbert ; Abasabyona, William ; Asinjah, Peter ; Birungi, Ronald ; Tugume, Kened
    The study examined the assessment of science process skills (SPS) in O-level students during chemistry practical activities in order to determine their participation in the practical activities through direct involvement and the level of their ability in manipulation, interpretation and communication of scientific information. A study was conducted in Mbarara district, Western Uganda, between February 2017 and November 2018. The study was guided by three objectives; i. The ability of students to competently manipulate the apparatus. ii. The ability of students to interpret the finding of the practicals activities. iii. The ability of students to communicate scientific findings. The study was both qualitative and quantitative guided by a cross-sectional survey design involving a number of 149 students selected from 10 schools using random sampling technique. Data was collected using a questionnaire, interview guide and observational checklist on the students of chemistry in S.3 and S4. Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version-16 of windows. Statistical methods like chi-square were employed The study findings were; students are good at manipulation of apparatus, but lacking some skills of interpretation and their ability to communicate scientific findings. However, sex of students is totally independent of the scientific findings. It was concluded that, science process skills (SPS) are important science skills which must be acquired by every person in the science field in order to enforce and reinforce learning. However, the skills such as manipulation of apparatus, interpretation of the scientific findings and communication of scientific information still need to be upheld and reinforced by the instructors of education in such areas majorly during the practical activities. From the conclusion; it was recommended that the Ministry of Education and Sports in conjugation with the other Education bodies; sit on board and forge ways to uplift the standards of SPS. This could be achieved by creating awareness of the program and equipping the teachers with the necessary materials. This research has been designed in such a way to be a guided influence on all the stakeholders of education.

    Representation of the theme of love in selected good life music crew songs
    (Makerere University, 2018-05) Kawanguzi, David
    Songs are related to poetry and love is a fundamental idea that affects several lives and aspects in our society. And so in this study, I seek to show the way love is presented in the few selected songs sung by the duo stated above thus I will explore the stylistic devices used to portray the impact of love on different people irrespective of background. In several literature novels, plays, and a few poems, there is always a theme of love depicted. Even in movies, love is always a topic in most of them. Therefore, this gives love an upper edge as one of the most viable issue that we deal with in our society. In addition, songs and poems are related in such a way that they both deal with emotions of particular individuals regardless of the circumstances surrounding a person.

    Assessment of the effect of heat on the quantity of ascorbic acid in tomatoes during food processing
    (Makerere University, 2018-08) Tumwesige, Dorothy
    Quantitative assessment of vitamin C in fresh and boiled tomato juice extracts was carried out to assess the effect of temperature on ascorbic acid using iodate titration method during food processing. The difference in ascorbic acid content for boiled and fresh tomatoes was 50.94% and 57.94% whereas the difference in ascorbic acid content for boiled tomato juice extracts and fresh tomatoes tomato juice extract was 50.94% and 35.50%.%. These results suggested a 50% loss in ascorbic acid content of the fruits during processing. Boiled tomatoes juice extracts had ascorbic acid concentrations of 46.41, 31.15, 26.14, 21.65, 19.78, and 39.28, 26.98, 24.12, 20.03, 19.27 in mg/100g. Boiled tomato juice extract from fresh fruits had ascorbic acid concentration of 30.31, 30.28, 28.84, 26.27, 24.72, 19.55, and 39.28, 26.98, 24.12, 22.17, 20.03, 19.27 in mg/100g These show that ascorbic acid content decreases with increase in processing temperatures of tomato fruits. From this study it was inferred that heat treatment greatly contributes to losses in ascorbic acid concentration in tomato fruits during food processing.

    The role of community education in curbing drug abuse among youth: a case study of Uganda youth development link (UYDEL), Kawempe division
    (Makerere University, 2019-07) Nakanwagi, Brenda
    The world over, community education has been significant in changing different bad situations as far as drug abuse is concerned. The failure of many efforts like routine arrests of drug abusers, imprisonment, family neglect, isolation, and many others led to the emergency of community education. In the month of February 2019, Kawempe police station recorded over 1000 cases of drug related Offenses particularly involving youth aged from 13-24 years and all these were attributed to parental negligence, high illiteracy levels, high degree of unemployment, extreme poverty, peer groups, among others. In order to understand the reasons for juvenile drug abuse behavior, various theoretical perspectives were utilized and strategies to curb drug abuse among the youth were identified. This study was conducted in the slum areas of Bwaise-Kawempe division, Kampala district capital city of Uganda. The participants integrated where those from UYDEL service center who alienated the study. Using the quantitative data collection tool, self-administered questionnaires were used to 50 youth respondents and the qualitative data involved usage of explorative research design where structured interviews were employed to key informants including two Program Manager, 10 Community Facilitators, two Local Leaders and 10 Family Members. The study found that drugs abused by the youth include Kuber, marijuana, nicotine, khat, cannabis and heroin and the most affected areas included Bwaise, Kimumbasa, Jambula, Kikoni, Kazo, Katoogo among others. The reasons given for using these drug substances among youth include peer pressure, individual, family and environmental factors were identified as the primary factors for juvenile drug use. This study emphasizes the role of community educators in carrying out drug abuse preventative education programs employed by different stakeholders more so in UYDEL. At the same time, it succeeds in highlighting the impacts of these programs to drug abusers and their families, strategies that could be employed to address drug abuse, and the challenges that are faced by community educators in curbing drug abuse among the youth in Kawempe Division. In addition, this study recommends a concerted effort by all the stakeholders in curbing the problem of drug abuse among youth.

    Assessing the extent to which hunger affects primary pupils of Iki-Iki Sub county,Budaka District
    (Makerere University, 2019-07) Tuuti, Stephen
    This is a research report following the research that was conducted in the sampled schools of Iki- Iki Sub County for academic purposes. The study assessed the extent to which primary school pupils of Iki-Iki Sub county, Budaka district were affected by hunger. It is comprised of five chapters. Four schools were sampled with 12 pupils, 8 teachers and 10 parents for purposes of responding to the study. Cross sectional study design was adopted and the study involved qualitative methods of data collection since the study was purely qualitative. The methods included semi-structured, interviews, structured interviews and document reviews. Content analysis was done to assess the extent to which hunger affects primary school pupils and the strategies used by pupils to cope with it and a correlation was run to determine the influence of the perceived effects of short-term hunger on pupils’ attendance, learning and concentration. Results showed that although most of the schools had a school feeding program, most of the parents could not afford to contribute towards it as a result; their children did not have a meal at school. Only few participated in the program leading to most of the pupils going hungry throughout lunchtime. Pupils’ devised their own means of coping with hunger which included looking for fruits, begging from friends, and escaping from school. Consequently, this affected the students’ learning and nearly half of the pupils’ population lost concentration. Others did not understand what the teacher taught, while a few dozed off in class in the afternoons. This partly contributed to the low average mark at the end of the term as the study reveals. Almost all pupils scored an average mark less than average pass mark of UNEB. It was concluded that hunger affects pupils’ learning hence their average mark at the end of the term; therefore impeding the sole purpose schools was established. The extent to which hunger affects primary school pupils goes further to lifetime. This can be proven by the fact that as hunger leads to low concentration in class, the pupils’ performance declines, and drop out levels go high and early marriages take precedence. This increases adult illiteracy in future and less skilled population characterized by poverty and increasing populations due limited knowledge or poor attitude towards family planning. Eventually they produce children whom they are not fully in position to take care of while at school, as a result, their children also drop out and the cycle continues. Therefore, hunger affects pupils so great that its effects extend to generations.

    Parental participation in youth development programs
    (Makerere University, 2019-08) Batanda, Hafisah
    This report presents findings of the study entitled “parental participation in youth development programs;A case study of Masodde Resource Centre.” The objectives of the study included the following 1. To investigate the current level and kinds of involvement in youth development programs at MRC by parents, including other care givers and representatives of the community 2. To find out the barriers toparental /or community participation in youth development programs at MRC and. 3To identify strategies that may increase the participation of parents and community members in youth development program at MRC. The study was carried out in Masodde resource Centre (MRC) foundWatuba Subcounty in Kyankwanzi. MRC is a community-based resource Centre supported by Community Efforts for Child Empowerment (CECE) an NGO operating in kyankwanzi District. The study adopted a case study design and qualitative data collection method were used. Data was collected using interviews, FGDs, observation and Document review and analyzed qualitatively using content analysis Findings of the study indicate that majority of the parents are involved in the youth development programs atMRC. That is to say they are involved in different ways for example, providing them with scholastic materials, paying their school fees, they attend to meetings at MRC, provide Counselling and Guidance. Furthermore, parents also provide some basic necessitiesto their children like provision of sanitary towels to the girls, transport upto the training Centre. However, the kindof support varied according to the course a youth offers, and also the social economic context of the parent. Further still the level of involvement varied much as MRC wanted parents to pay, very many parents were seen struggling to get the money so that their children do not mis the training though majority would in instalments. Findings for the barriers to parental/ community participation included, fear to be requested to pay the remaining school fees, Negative attitude towards vocational training especially by male parents, lack of confidence to some parents to join meetings, multiple roles and responsibilities, long distances and communication challenge. However, findingsreveals majority of the parents attend to meetings that are invited and very few visit MRC when un invited. Findings for Interventions that may increase parental/ community participation in YDP included, parents’ beings integrated inYDP from the planning to Evaluation phase, continuous sensitization about the importance of parental participation in YDP at MRC, conducting meetings in differentcommunities, involving parents in leadership positions at different levels, income generating activities, and having success stories from those youth who passed through MRC that can act as role models. However, majority of the parents reported that for them they just take their children at the Centre but they are not involved from the planning phase instead they find everything set for them. In conclusion parents in kyankwanzi district struggle to provide scholastic materials depending on the social economic context of that parent, however their also some barriers but majority of the parents still get involved in the YDP at MRC, as an adult and community educator as away to increase innervations MRC should adopt a bottom top approach As an adult and community education, I recommend to CECE to adopt a bottom top approach so that community members can feel a sense of ownership, empowered, secure, and sustain the project in order to transform their socities.

    Utilization and conservation of medicinal plants used for cancer management in Nyamitanga sub county, Mbarara district.
    (Makerere university, 2019-10) Semuwemba, John
    Cancer has of recent become a major health problem globally severely affecting the population. This growing burden has strained the already limited health care system hence the increasing constant need and demand for new remedies to prevent, cure and relief, thus the increasing use of medicinal plants, which are believed to have fewer side effects and are less toxic. Given their continued relevance and use of medicinal plants, the aim of the study was to establish the utilization and conservation of medicinal plants used for cancer management in Nyamitanga Subcounty Mbarara district. The commonly used medicinal plants were identified and documented, their various methods of conservation were assessed and the preparation methods before administration were also determined. The study was conducted using semi-structured interviews, questionnaires and participant observation. A total of twenty five different plant species belonging to 24 genera and 20 families were identified and documented. Most plant species belonged to family Solanaceae and the most highly ranked multipurpose medicinal plant was Cannabis sativa. Eucalyptus globulous, Mangifera indica and Zingiber officinale was the commonest used combination for management of chest and throat cancers. The most commonly used plant parts were leaves from herbaceous plants, harvested from the wild or cultivated lands. The remedies are prepared mainly as infusions, administered indirectly to treat internal cancers (orally) and direct tropical applications for external cancers, for various roles that is prevention, relief and cure but with no standard doses. A review of other literatures indicated that the medicinal plants reported in the study have been to other medicinal values. The continued utilization of these medicinal plant, habitat modification and the low involvement in the domestication conservation, with lack of knowledge about protection laws is a threat, which will in future hamper the transmission of treatment due to loss of plant diversity and low numbers of trainees mentored by experienced herbalists. Its therefore necessary to carry out more studies to document extensively, screen these medicinal plants to establish the active ingredients and effects on particular cancer cell lines, as well as Government and non-government organizations consider incorporation of experienced herbalists and standardized herbal treatment into the general health care and education system to help in treatment knowledge impaction into younger generations as well as conservation of this knowledge.

    Teachers’ Professional Development and Classroom Discipline of pupils in Kawempe Division Kampala Capital City Authority
    (Makerere University, 2019-10-06) Naudo, Alice
    The study intended to investigate the effect of professional development and classroom discipline of pupils in Kawempe Division, Kampala Capital City Authority. The objectives of the study included; to find out teachers’ level of education and training, to establish the effect of teachers’ professional development on classroom discipline of pupils, and to explore other factors that impact on classroom discipline of pupils in Kawempe Division. The research was conducted in Kampala District and employed Causal Comparative Design (Ex- post Facto) design. Questionnaires, interview guides and observation checklists were used to collect data. Ten (10) primary schools were randomly selected to represent private and government schools. Data collected was analyzed using descriptive frequency tables. The study made the following findings; The highest number of teachers and head teachers has attained at least a diploma in primary teaching. Head teachers, teachers and pupils in Kawempe Division agreed that professional development has a positive effect on classroom discipline of pupils. Parents’ attitude as well as media influence topped the list among other factors that impact on classroom discipline of pupils. The study concluded that the results indicated that the majority of the teachers in Kawempe Division have attained professional development which should help them to manage classroom discipline better. This shows that teachers are open to new ideas through further training as seen from the findings that a few have even attained masters degrees. This means they are willing to embrace new training so as to help the enrich children’s experiences and also improve classroom discipline together with performance. This study also concluded that professional development has a positive effect on classroom discipline of pupils. This is evidenced by the numerous responses given, in the questionnaires, interviews and observations made during the teaching sessions. Majority of the teachers stated that motivation, rewarding and praising learners play great role in maintaining classroom discipline. Teachers who have gone through further studies take time to learn pupils and their needs, treat learners with respect, use interesting methods during their teaching among others. This helped learners to maintain classroom discipline because their needs were attended to. This study recommends that Coordinating Center Tutors, head teachers and the municipal education officer should come up with ways of involving parents in helping learners to be disciplined from home so that it makes the teachers’ job easier. This should be followed by guidance and counseling by independent personals. The study finally encourages teachers to get out of their comfort zone, be more creative by using a variety of instructional materials as trained to do. This will help to address individual needs of learners and get them involved in the lessons.

    (Makerere University, 2019-11) Ndyanabo, Eliakimu ; Masereka, David ; Kituutu, Jonathan ; Sadik, Abel ; Ssekandi, Douglas
    The study investigated the effects of teacher qualification, teacher's experience and teacher-student ratio on the academic achievement of learners in O Level Biology in Wakiso district. The study was motivated by the poor performance of students in the subject and a teacher is a crucial factor as regards to the academic performance of students. The study employed an expost-facto design using a cross sectional survey that involved collection of data on more than one case at a single point in order to collect both qualitative and quantitative data in connection with the study. The researchers targeted Biology teachers in the schools within the study area. The sample comprised of 60 respondents from 15 schools. Five schools were selected from Busiro County, five more schools from Entebbe municipality and the other five from Kyadondo county, as the three counties that make up Wakiso District. Random sampling was used to select the schools and four Biology teachers from each school. Records of the Biology performance for years 2018 and 2017 were collected from schools. The results show that students performance was best in schools with teachers of 5 years teaching experience and worst performance was observed with teachers of teaching experience 11 years and above. The study found out that there is no difference in performance of students in classes above 40 students. It was also observed that majority of the teachers are Bachelor degree holders, with diploma holders having upgraded. No difference in academic achievement was observed in students taught by the two categories of teachers. We recommend refresher training courses for teachers who have spent long in the profession and smaller classes of below 40 students.

    Diversity of plant species used in the control of pests of stored grains and legumes, a case study in Sagazi Parish of Buikwe District
    (Makerere University, 2019-11) Agula, Peter
    Sagazi parish, the study site is found within lugazi municipality, it comprises four villages; (Kisasi, Mayindo, Kasininyina and Sagazi) and boarders Mabira forest. Being blessed with very fertile clay-loam soils and reliable rainfall makes it every productive parish agriculturally hence a food basket for the district. It is very important that crops be kept for long periods of time in order to ensure food security. This is possible through use of preservatives which include among others plant materials. In this study, the various plant species used to control pests of stored grains and legumes were recorded. The data was collected within a period of two weeks and this was achieved through use of questionnaire in which key informants were interviewed, their ideas and opinions were recorded. On analysis of the data using the MS Excel, it was found out that there were a number of pests ( Sitophilus oryzea; destroyed both stored grains and legumes, Sitophilus granaries,Sitotrogacerealella and Sitophilus zeamais attacked only stored grains and Callosobruchus maculates and Acanthoscelides obtectus attacked only legumes) with the pests for grains being dominant. The most used plant species was the red pepper plant and the most effective method to control pests was usage of red pepper powder. It’s recommended that more awareness be created on the use of plants or plant materials to control pests and that further research be carried out on the documented plant species to determine the active ingredients in them.
