This field study investigated the impact of excess storm water on traffic flow and took a case study of clock tower area. The study took a period of three (3) weeks around clock tower areas in Kampala, Uganda which included interviews and literature review at Makerere University and thesis writing. The study adopted descriptive research design and used both purposive and accidental sampling technique to select the respondents for gathering information. The target population were 30 respondents who included traffic officers, drivers, pedestrians, motorcyclists, KCCA officials such as environmental officer and the physical planner. The data sources included both secondary and primary where secondary included use of textbooks and journal articles; primary data included use of interviews, questionnaire, observation and photography. The results of the study showed that areas surrounding Clock tower greatly contribute to flooding and excess storm water around clock tower and thus affects the traffic flow. The areas included residential, commercial, water-logged and industrial areas. The study revealed that excess storm water around clock tower has resulted into accidents, silt deposition in the road, blockage of drainage channels, creation of potholes and weakening the strength of the road leading to death and injuries. Traffic on flooded roads has delayed and interrupted flow of vehicles and some trips were cancelled or rerouted and this has resulted in frustration and hence accidents, loss of business hours, additional fuel consumption, traffic congestion situations and bottlenecks mainly through its procedures incorporating drivers' responses and intermodal transportation The study recommended emphasis on institutional issues such as proper urban planning, drafting sustainable urban development plans, financing, management responsibility and skills levels are areas that require attention so as to effectively control storm-water. Integrated approaches are required, making institutional coordination critical. Technical issues also need to be addressed, with silt and solid waste being a significant design problem. The study further suggests for construction of drainage channels to help collect rain water and direct it to Lake Victoria and reduce the excess storm water; construction of permeable pavement; collection and capturing rainwater for reuse; adoption of better building construction codes and standards and laws.

This study aimed at assessing the effect of indigenous knowledge on the control of African Animal Trypanosomiasis in Kaabong District with three specific objectives using Karenga Subcounty, Kaabong District as a case for study. This study used descriptive research design where both qualitative and quantitative approaches were applied. The study involved the use of questionnaires to collect data. Data was collected from Kaabong District and questionnaires were administered from farmers, Community animal health workers and Production staff. Stratified respondents were selected purposefully to meet the study aims. A total of 90 informants were interviewed with most of them being males. Most of the informants had no formal education. There was no significant association (P>0.05) between the informants who had ever heard about the prevalence of AAT and those who were aware of its existence in Kaabong district. Most of the informants stated tsetseflies as the lead cause of AAT. Most of the informants further cited emaciation and closing of the eyes as key indicators of AAT in cattle. Most of the informants frequently used herbal remedies in the treatment of AAT in Kaabong district. Moreover, informants cited a variety of plant species notably trees and shrubs in the treatment of AAT such as; Harrisonia abyssinica, Balanites aegyptiaca and Tamarindus indicus. Most informants used barks and roots as the main plant parts used in herbal remedy preparation. The informants used different formulation techniques such as; drying and grinding into powder, boiling plant parts, grinding and soaking of plant powders in water. Oral and topical routes were the main modes of herbal remedy administration. There was no significant association (P>0.05) between the time taken at the point of herbal remedy administration to the point at which the sick animals displayed clinical changes of improvement. Most informants confirmed that sick animals took between 2-3 days to display clinical changes of improvement after herbal remedy administration This study concluded by giving recommendations of extending the study on the use of ethno-veterinary medicine in the treatment of livestock diseases to other livestock diseases such as; anaplasmosis, babesiosis, brucellosis and heart water among other diseases in. Lastly, the researcher proposed other areas for future studies.

Background: Prostate cancer is the second most prevalent cancer in men worldwide. It is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Africa, with higher incidence seen in sub-Saharan countries like Uganda. Currently, Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) classification is the most sensitive imaging technique for diagnosing prostate cancer. There is limited literature on PI-RADS v 2.1 scoring system in the screening and diagnosis of prostate cancer in Uganda. Aim of the study: To describe the MRI findings and the correlations of PI-RADS v2.1 with prostatic specific antigen and histology Gleason scores among patients investigated for prostate cancer at Kampala MRI centre (KAMRIC). Methodology: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study that was conducted at KAMRIC. The prostate MRIs acquired using a 1.5 Tesla MRI scanner between March 2016 and December 2019, were included in the study. Blinded to the initial clinical and biopsy details, the PI, under the guidance of her supervisors, interpreted the prostate MRI images using PI-RADS v2.1. The results from the corresponding trans-rectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsies were abstracted from the patients' records. Descriptive statistics on mpMRI were computed and correlations calculated for a subset of the images with available histology results. All statistical analyses were conducted using Stata version 15, p < 0.05. Results: A total of 189 MRI images of men with a mean age of 65 years (range, 41-89 years) were studied. The most common indication for MRI was raised serum PSA levels, the median for which was 8.5 ng/ml (95% CI 7.5-9.1). The median MRI prostate volume was 51.7 cubic centimetres (range 13.2-292.7; 95% CI 47.2-56.3). All the MRI images had an equal distribution of solitary and multiple lesions. Ninety-nine of the 131 (89%) images that scored PI-RADS 3-5 had corresponding ultrasound-guided biopsy results. Up to 52% (52/99) of all prostate biopsies were positive for adenocarcinoma. The median Gleason score was 7(3+4). Most MRI PI-RADS 3 lesions were negative for cancer. Similarly, PI-RADS 5 lesions (96%) were positive for cancer. A strong positive significant correlation (rs = 0.55 and rs = 0.53, respectively) between PI-RADS scores and histopathology was found. The correlation between PI-RADS and serum PSA levels was moderate (rs = 0.47, p < 0.05). Conclusion: PI-RADS v 2.1 scoring performs well in risk stratification and diagnosing clinically significant prostate cancer in this Ugandan cohort of adult male patients.

Ownership of a unique, legal identity is crucial for financial inclusion as majority of financial service providers in Uganda demand a national identity (ID) to satisfy the KYC (Know your customer) requirements. This study seeks to examine the effect of ownership of a national ID on financial inclusion in Uganda and make policy recommendations for broader national ID ownership to increase financial inclusion. Generally, the study argues that Uganda can boost financial inclusion by harnessing ID ownership among the unbanked. The study used the 2017 World Bank Global Findex data for Uganda and found that national ID ownership is statistically significant in predicting the likelihood of being financially included in Uganda with odds ratio of 1.56. The study also found that the socio-economic factors reduced the magnitude of relationship between ownership of a national ID and financial inclusion. With 95% confidence, national ID ownership, phone ownership, education, income quintile, and employment status statistically significantly predict the likelihood of being financially included in Uganda. The study further revealed that an individual who owns a national ID and owns a phone, has secondary school education, is in the richest 20% income quintile, and is in the workforce is more likely to be financially included compared to the same individual without a national ID although it was not statistically significant. The study recommends that national ID ownership policies should be integrated with other policies such as human capital development policies, increasing the income levels of individuals, increasing employment, and increasing phone ownership. The findings of this study were limited to the cross-sectional data in 2017 yet the national identification scheme in Uganda is not yet complete, further research can be considered to use the updated data in 2020 and years ahead.

The general objective of this study was to investigate the effect of service quality and customer satisfaction in financial Institutions- a case of Centenary Bank. The specific objectives of the study were: to examine the relationship between staff reliability and customer satisfaction, to examine the relationship between staff responsiveness and customer satisfaction and to establish the relationship between staff empathy and customer satisfaction The study adopted a descriptive and correlation research design. Data was collected from 90 respondents through self-administered questionnaires and analyzed by use of descriptive statistics involving frequencies, mean and standard deviation , further analysis was achieved by use of inferential statistics involving hypothesis testing by use of Pearson‟s correlation Coefficient and regression analysis with the help of (SPSS Version 21.0).The results indicate that staff reliability has a strong positive correlation with service delivery ( r = 0.943 **P < 0.000).; Staff responsiveness has a strong statistically significant positive correlation with service delivery (r = 0.904 **P < 0.000) and similarly staff empathy has a strong statistically positive correlation with service delivery (r= .934 **; P < 0.000) . Regression analysis modal summary indicated that, staff reliability, staff responsiveness and staff empathy, explained up to 93.1% of the variations in customer satisfaction (r2= 0.931). Staff reliability contributed the highest to variation of customer satisfaction (coefficient 0.67), followed by staff responsiveness (coefficient, 0.287 and staff empathy (coefficient, 0.239) The study recommends that Centenary Bank management in Arua should invest in training employees to be more competent, empathetic and reliable. Employees‟ compensation should be based on customer satisfaction levels and the Bank human resource should ensure that they recruit staff that is committed and friendly, ready to share customer‟s feelings and emotions.
