    3D estimation of strain and velocity in Bududa district using GNSS
    (Makerere University, 2021-12-07) Sseruwagi, Henry
    Landslides are defined as ‘the movement of a mass of rock, debris or earth down a slope’ and mostly constitute small, but sometimes frequent events affecting millions of people worldwide(Cruden, 1996). They are part of very many natural hazards that have affected people from time memorial others including earthquakes, avalanches and floods((Acar, 2010). Landslides in particular have been recorded for several centuries in Asia, Europe and Africa(De Graff et al., 1989) affecting millions of people worldwide(Mertens et al., 2016). Landslides monitoring studies are carried out mainly on one of the two main stages that is to say the strain and deformation stages. The strain stage is the stage where the actual ground deformation has not yet happened but the stress factors causing the deformation are present and thus deformation may happen any time. This helps to provide useful information on which areas are stressed the most and hence remedies are put in place. This report discusses the monitoring of these landslides using GNSS. It also presents strain tensors, rotation tensors, dialatation tensors that show the crustal movements during the time of GNSS observations. These were computed using a software called Geostrain which is an open source software running in MatLabs software.The report also shows the velocity motion of the district calculated using Trimble Business Center software.

    3D weight tracker app
    (Makerere University, 2023-06) Otwani, Jonathan Innocent ; Kakooza, Kenneth ; Namukisa, Daphine ; Masolo, Derick
    Our modern sedentary lifestyle has resulted in unhealthy weight gain, which causes diseases like heart attack, high cholesterol, diabetes, depression, obesity. World Health Organization (WHO) [1] suggests moderate intensity workout of at-least two and half hours of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity of seventy-five minutes for the adults aged between eighteen and sixty-four throughout the week. Weight tracking apps have become increasingly popular tools for individuals to monitor their weight and achieve their weight loss goals. These apps typically allow users to track their weight over time, set weight loss goals, and receive reminders and motivation to stay on track. However, many existing weight tracking apps are so manual that one has to input all the required requirements, which is a waste of a lot of time and tiresome. To address this issue, we have developed a 3D weight tracker app that utilizes advanced data analysis and numerical computations to provide users with tailored and simplified way of tracking weight, achieve their weight loss goals and be able to have their body parts measurements. Our app allows users to track their weight over time using a user-friendly 3D model of their body. This model not only displays the users current weight but also allows the user to visualize their progress towards their weight loss goals. In addition, our app utilizes the smart phone camera to capture the users full image of the body and will calculate the Body Mass Index and Body Fat Percentage basing on the data results from the processed image. We believe that our 3D weight tracker app has the potential to significantly improve the effectiveness of weight management for individuals seeking to achieve their weight loss goals. In this report, we will provide an overview of the features and functionality of our app, as well as the results of user testing and feedback. We hope that this report will serve as a valuable resource for individuals seeking to improve their weight management and overall health. The purpose of the current study is therefore to design and implement an android App that will be used to track weight loss amongst a group of successful weight loss maintainers. This study focused an App because smartphone apps are the most widely used tools in the general population.

    5G powered public network with QoS optimized device to device communication
    (Makerere University, 2024-06) Abbe, Matsiko
    This project investigates D2D communication in SG public networks, focusing on identifying the optimal user equipment (UE) density for efficient resource utilization. We employ the OMNET++ simulation framework to analyze the impact of UE count (8, 100, 500, and 1000) on key performance parameters like latency, throughput, jitter, and packet loss. Within OMNET++, we first develop a Network Description (NED) file to define the network components and their interactions. Subsequently, an initialization script configures the simulation environment, specifying parameters like UE density, mobility and network topology. Through graphical analysis of the simulation results, we determine the critical UE density threshold below which traditional cellular communication outperforms D2D communication in terms of QoS. Our findings establish this threshold, providing crucial insights for network design and resource allocation strategies in dense user environments. By identifying the crossover point, network operators can optimize resource allocation to ensure efficient communication under varying user densities. Our investigation into D2D communication within a 5G public network environment revealed significant performance improvements compared to traditional cellular communication across key QoS parameters like latency, throughput, jitter, and packet loss. This finding held true for a range of user equipment (UE) densities, suggesting D2D communication's potential for enhancing network performance in scenarios with a high concentration of users. However, it's crucial to acknowledge the existence of a critical UE density threshold. Our results indicate that beyond this threshold, traditional cellular communication offer better performance. This highlights the importance of considering network density when implementing D2D communication.

    Absence of inter-hall sports competitions for the disabled in Makerere University.
    (Makerere University, 2023-11) Malikisi, Thomas
    In a quest to explore the experiences of students with disabilities and their involvement in sports activities at Makerere University, this research embarked on an insightful journey. The study, rooted in a survey research design, engaged a diverse group of participants. Forty-six students with disabilities from various halls of residence and one dedicated sports coach constituted the focal point of this research endeavor. Fifty four percent (54%) of the students participated in a range of sports, including goalball, athletics, football, volleyball, and netball with 11% engaging in interhall sports competitions. While 67% of the students expressed an earnest interest in inter-hall sports, a whopping 72% believed that the University's efforts to promote awareness and accessibility of adapted sports were wanting. The positive impact of sports participation shone through, with 96% of students reporting benefits to their physical and mental health. Physical rewards, social connections, fitness enhancements, self-acceptance, and even the simple joy of competition were among the cherished rewards of participation. Nearly half of the students (46%) encountered negative attitudes, discrimination, and segregation during sports activities. They faced a barrage of challenges, from inaccessible facilities to financial constraints and injuries sustained in sports. Despite the challenges, the desire to participate was strong. Motivation came from personal passion, peer influence, and the recognition of the physical, mental, and social benefits of sports. Support and encouragement from coaches, parents, and friends played a pivotal role in nurturing this motivation. The students with disability’s roadmap to a more inclusive and vibrant sports community included accessible facilities, tailored training programs, and specialized equipment, enhanced awareness campaigns, ongoing sensitization efforts, and the organization of adapted inter-hall sports competitions that accommodate diverse needs and abilities.

    Abundance and distribution of Cyathea manniana in kalinzu central forest reserve, southwestern Uganda.
    (Makerere University, 2021-05-05) Akankwasa, Mark
    This study was conducted in Kalinzu Central Forest Reserve, Southwestern Uganda, to assess the abundance and distribution of C. manniana in primary and secondary compartments of this forest reserve. Abundance or population size of C. manniana in these forest compartments is influenced by both abiotic factors such as moisture and light intensity; and anthropogenic activities like tree logging. Previous researches carried out in Kalinzu Forest Reserve have failed to address the concept of population status of C. manniana but instead they have primarily focused on the identification of this species. Systematic analysis of abundance and distribution of C. manniana was done in Kalinzu Forest Reserve, where principal focus was centered on discovering the variation of these parameters (abundance and distribution) in valleys and on slopes of primary and secondary compartments of this forest reserve. A sampling technique was employed to collect abundance data of C. manniana, 12 plots (each 50mx50m) were marked and 6 plots of these were in the valley and other 6 plots on slope of primary forest; similar number of plots of same area size were marked in the valley and on slope of secondary forest. 468 and 175 individuals of C. manniana were counted in primary and secondary forest plots respectively. Population density was computed and DBH of the counted C. manniana was measured. T- tests for population density were run using SPSS software. Analysis revealed statistically significant difference in population density of C. manniana between valleys and slopes and between primary and secondary forests except between valley and slope of secondary forest; DBH class distributions revealed bell- shaped and irregular shaped population structure patterns hence an indicator of poor population/ regeneration status of C. manniana. These findings on population density and structure provided a revelation for urgency in population restoration and conservation of C. manniana in Kalinzu Forest Reserve.

    The abundance of BRUSSONETIA PAPYRIFERA (l.) L'hér ex vent. in Mabira forest central reserve
    (Makerere University, 2022-03-31) Bwengye, James
    Mabira Forest Central Reserve is currently undergoing increasing coverage of an invasive species, Brussonetia papyrifera, that contributes to biodiversity loss in the forest reserve. Several studies have shown that B. papyrifera has the capacity to reduce the abundance of native vegetation by supressing the regeneration and growth of resident vegetation. This study aimed at documenting the abundance of Brussonetia papyrifera in the Buffer and Production Zones of Mabira Forest Central Reserve. The study sites were the Buffer and Production Zones. Systematic sampling was employed in this study. The study used belt transects of 1km and plots of 10m by 10m were laid in each zone. Within each plot, the trees were identified and recorded with the help of an NFA guide and the Makerere University Herbarium. DBH was measured using a tape measure and recorded. The results showed that the density of Brussonetia papyrifera was higher in the Production Zone (874 stems/ha) than in the Buffer Zone (274 stems/ha). The relative density also of B.papyrifera was higher in the Production zone(28%) than in the Buffer zone (8%).This was attributed in part due to the fact that the Production zone had a lower species richness as compared to the Buffer zone .Overall the population structure of Brusssonetia papyrifera in the Buffer Zone formed an inverse J shaped curve indicating a good seedling recruitment and sapling development potential whereas that in the Production zone formed an almost inverse -J- shaped curve with a few anomalies that were attributed to the anthropogenic activities that occur in this zone. Mabira Forest Central Reserve stands a high risk of losing its native species in the years to come given the increase of Brussonetia papyrifera. To avert such a calamity, Control measures for the population of Brussonetia papyrifera should be introduced. Further studies are recommended in studying the effects of B. papyrifera in Mabira Forest Central Reserve

    Abundance of Lantana Camara in West Bugwe Central Forest Reserve, Busia District
    (Makerere University, 2024) Naamara, Moses
    This research study was carried out in West Bugwe Central Forest Reserve which is found in Eastern Uganda and this reserve is 21 km from Busia town. This study aimed to assess the abundance of Lantana camara within West Bugwe Central Forest Reserve and using random sampling method, 64 plots each measuring 10 ×10 meters were established and sampled to conduct the study. The primary objective of this research was to quantify the presence of Lantana camara and evaluate it's potential impacts on the reserve ecosystems. My findings revealed a significant difference in the abundance of L. camara in the two sampled regions of the forest reserve but with the abundance of L. camara being higher in the disturbed forest region. Furthermore, there was a statistically significant association between the percentage cover of L. camara found in the disturbed forest region and that found in the undisturbed forest region of the reserve. The higher abundance in the disturbed forest region could have been probably because of the high light penetrations that spiked Lantana camara spread in the disturbed sections. Hence, urgent need to create and implement a management plan to curb further spread in future. Further studies on how Lantana camara biomass can be anaerobically digested to produce biogas used for cooking and electricity generation will be of paramount importance. Also, oil extraction from Lantana camara seeds to produce biodiesel which is eco-friendly can be adopted. Restoration projects using indigenous trees is needed as I thoroughly observed that Lantana camara was absent under the indigenous tree canopies hence a control means.

    Abundance of wild Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) around cages at source of the Nile fish farm: implication for disease transmission between farmed and wild fishes
    (Makerere University, 2022-12) Mayambala, Paddy
    Although tilapia culture in cage fish farming systems in Uganda presents a steady rise in growth the entire sector is a subject to the different emerging tilapiine diseases and pathogens which have so far been reported at different fish farms by farmers and researchers to cause significant stock depreciation through increased fish mortalities arising from disease and pathogen infestation to the cultured stocks. Currently, with the increased intensification, production and commercialization of the fish culture systems, there have markedly been increased concerns of rampant disease outbreaks among cultured tilapiine stocks pertaining the outbreak and emergence of bacterial, fungal and viral diseases as well as parasite infestation which has hindered investment, thus curtailing unimpeded production and extension of the sector. Despite the conducive tropical climate that favors fish farming in the tropics, limited, if any, focus has been invested as regards fish health and the subsequent biosecurity programs meant to protect fish from contracting infections therefore inferring increased disease infestation and hindered sector growth. Attention as pertains fish health and biosecurity measures have long been focused on the indirect modes of disease and pathogen transmission (transfer of infectious agents from reservoirs to the fish hosts by inanimate objects [e.g., vehicles and PPE], or animate intermediaries). Despite the practice of such measures to combat disease infestation onto the farmed stocks, the prevalence of diseases and pathogens is persistent thus farmers and researchers have still reported increased cases of disease outbreak among farmed fish stocks. However, the design, construction and positioning of the cages systems in water bodies infers to easily permit the interaction of wild and farmed fish stocks thus facilitating direct transmission of disease pathogens and parasites from the wild to the farmed fish stocks or vice versa. The results of this study validated that wild fish populations lied in proximities of fish cages and are capable of transmitting infectious agents to farmed tilapiine stocks or vice versa. Therefore, besides the indirect modes of transfer of infectious agents that are affirmed to attribute to the rampant disease prevalence amongst farmed tilapiines, the results of this study call for further interventions by researchers and farmers as regards prevention of direct disease and pathogen transfer modes between wild and farmed tilapiines. Finally, the review contains suggestions for future research that will fill gaps needed to effectively prevent, manage and combat rampant disease incidences on fish farms.
