ItemA love that fades script(Makerere University, 2026)A Love That Fades is a dramatic film script that examines the breakdown of a marriage caused by infidelity, dishonesty, and emotional neglect. The story follows Ketra and her husband Fredrick, whose relationship is strained by Fredrick’s secret affairs and irresponsible behavior. The script opens in their bedroom, where a simple request for Fredrick’s car exposes deeper conflict and mistrust. A flashback reveals Fredrick spending the night with another woman in a hotel while Ketra waits at home. When he returns late, he lies about working overtime, but Ketra confronts him with signs of his betrayal, including the scent of another woman’s perfume. Their arguments highlight the emotional distance between them and Fredrick’s lack of respect for his wife’s efforts and loyalty.At Fredrick’s workplace, his friend Gerald questions his immoral conduct andwarns him of the consequences of cheating. Despite this, Fredrick continues his deceptive lifestyle. The climax occurs when Fredrick phones Ketra to falsely claim an emergency meeting so he can meet another woman. In response, Ketra announces her decision to leave the marriage and return to her family, inviting him to her traditional introduction ceremony the following day. Shocked by the possibility of losing his wife, Fredrick drives recklessly and is involved in a serious accident. Gerald rescues him and rushes him home, where they find the house empty except for Ketra’s letter. Overcome with guilt and despair, Fredrick collapses and is taken to hospital. The script presents a moral lesson on the destructive effects of betrayal and the emotional cost of taking love and trust for granted.

ItemBody language and expressive movements in Surat Yusuf: an analytical study(Makerere University, 2026)This study examines body language and expressive movements in Surah Yusuf through a contextual analysis of their Qur'anic, rhetorical, psychological, narrative, and communicative functions. It argues that Qur'anic storytelling communicates not only through spoken words but also through gestures, bodily actions, visible effects, and meaningful objects. The study analyses scenes such as crying, racing toward the door, the tearing of the shirt, the women cutting their hands, Jacob turning away in grief, the whitening of his eyes, the shirt .being placed on his face, and the final act of prostration. The research uses an inductive method to identify relevant passages, an analytical method to interpret them within their Qur'anic context and classical exegesis, and a comparative method to engage cautiously with modern non-verbal communication studies. The findings show that bodily signs do not possess fixed meanings independent of context. Crying, for example, may be feigned or genuine, while the shirt changes from an instrument of deception to evidence supporting Joseph's innocence and finally to a sign associated with good news and the restoration of sight by God's permission. The study concludes that bodily movement is integral to .the narrative and rhetorical structure of Surah Yusuf

ItemThe impact of TikTok application use on the social behaviour of undergraduate Arabic language students at Makerere University(Makerere University, 2026)This is a preliminary abstract prepared at the research-proposal stage, before data collection and analysis. The findings and recommendations will be added upon completion of the study. This study aims to examine the relationship between TikTok use and social behavior among Bachelor of Arabic language students at Makerere University. The research problem stems from the need to determine the nature of the relationship between use of the application and the social behavior of this student group. The study seeks to answer three main research questions: 1. What are the patterns of TikTok use among Bachelorstudents of Arabic language at Makerere University, in terms of frequency and duration of use? 2. What are the manifestations of social behavior among these students? 3. What is the nature of the relationship between TikTok use and social behavior among these students? The study proposes adopting a descriptive-correlational research design, with data collected through a questionnaire addressing use of the application and manifestations of social behavior. The provisional conceptualization of these manifestations includes direct communication with peers, cooperation and helping, and participation in university social activities. It is hoped that the study will contribute to a clearer understanding of the relationship between TikTok use and social behavior among the target group, with implications for researchers and practitioners in education and sociology in Ugandan universities and the wider region.

ItemMental health and emotions(Makerere University, 2026)My creative writing project is mixed genre whereby I have focused on two genres poetry and short stories. My project consists of twenty poems and six short stories which are majorly fiction based. In my work, I have focused on mental health issues for example depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and personality disorders which are common among people especially the youth today. Mental health includes our emotional, psychological and social wellbeing. It affects how we think feel and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others and make healthy choices. In my work, I also focused on emotions like happiness, love, anger, sadness, loneliness. In my own words if I am to describe emotions, they are a conscious mental reaction, basically a state of feeling. Mental health and emotions are topics that have always been close to my heart. Having witnessed the struggles of loved ones who have grappled with mental health issues, I have come to realize the importance of addressing and understanding our emotions in order to maintain our overall well-being. Throughout my life, I have also experienced my own share of emotional ups and downs, and I have learned that ignoring or suppressing my feelings only leads to more pain and suffering. By acknowledging and processing my emotions, I have been able to gain greater self-awareness, build stronger relationships, and lead a more fulfilling life.I feel many people are struggling with mental health issues in the setting that we live in today. In Uganda, most people see issues like depression, anxiety, ADHD and so many other issues as problems for the white community but what most people have failed to understand is that we are humans and as humans we have feelings and we go through very many different emotions whether negative or positive that we should normalize. Most of us go through mental health problems and we have no one to talk to, nowhere to express ourselves just because we are scared of how the world will see us. We are scared that no one will understand what we are going through. We are afraid of how the world will see us when they figure out that we are not “perfect”. But, I wanted to use my project to show everyone going through mental health issues that they are not alone and that someone out there feels for them and that there is someone out there going through something similar and that everyone goes through different emotions. In writing my project on mental health and emotions, I hope to shed light on the complex and often misunderstood nature of our emotional experiences. I aim to explore the ways in which our emotions can impact our mental health, and how we can cultivate healthy emotional habits to promote greater well-being. Ultimately, I believe that by understanding and caring for our emotional selves, we can build resilience, foster connection, and lead more meaningful lives.
