Level: university
Type: dissertations
Subject: adult and community education
Author: okwera john oola
The study aimed at assessing the role of community driven development (CDD) on the empowering the youth. The study sought to find out the different CDD sub-projects; the approaches and methods in implementing CDD; the knowledge and skills utilization; Impact of CDD on youth‟s attitudes and behaviors change towards development and how it addressed youth challenges; and challenges faced during the CDD implementation for youth empowerment. The research methods used included among others descriptive cross-sectional study with a combination of qualitative and quantitative data methods. The area of the study was Akwang Sub-County, Kitgum District. The respondents of the study were the youth, local and the district leaders. The data collection techniques included the key informant interviews and/or in-depth interviews, questionnaires, FDGs, and documentary reviews covering two villages in each of the three parishes. The study findings revealed that the different CDD sub-projects carried out were brick making, training and teaching, football clubs, carpentry, agriculture, VSLA, poultry keeping and goats rearing. The study revealed that the approaches community uses were top down, bottom up, empowerment, and right based approaches respectively. The method identified were directive, non-directive, and integrated methods as mentioned by the youth. The skills utilization were mixed with the different CDD sub-projects. The study found out that the impact were creativity and innovation, sense of independence, self awareness, demands for further skills, carpentry works, and the challenges revealed by the study are poor education and training, inequality and exclusion, the cost of implementation, weak infrastructure, political interference, and land conflict. Evidently, with the different literature and the gaps cited in them, the most important contributions made by the study in fulfilling the gaps was that the development assistance should work for the benefit of youth (as target beneficiaries); with youth as partners; and be shaped by youth as leaders. The study showed that CDD does not cater to problems that are beyond the capacity of youth, because CDD is demand-driven, it tends to select communities that already have in kind commitments and planning capacity, this means that, in the absence of careful selection criteria, the poorest communities with limited capacity are crowded out. The process of CDD project sub-projects to reach approval or financial closure and receipts of funds lengthy and laborious. The District should provide practical vocational training to our youth to help reduce on the money oriented issues given as the CDD grants provisions by the District. There is need to improve and clarify the facilitation and funds released to local governments for CDD project implementation as well as improvement on the lack of adequate facilities to enable project implementation at the local government level.
an introduction to law
Level: university
Type: text books
Subject: law
Author: phil harris
This book is written for students who are studying law on courses ranging from ‘A’ and ‘AS’ level and BTEC through to a wide range of undergraduate degree courses. Students studying for law degrees will find much material which introduces them to most of the foundation subjects, as well as familiarising them with legal concepts, legal method, and many aspects of the English legal system. Apart from students enrolled on academic courses, it is hoped that this book will also be of interest to others who are fascinated by English law and the legal system. We live in a society in which everyday life is touched by legal regulation more than at any other period in history. Laws themselves are the result of intricate historical processes and of contemporary policies; those processes and policies are often controversial, and are themselves interesting and rewarding areas of study, helping us understand why our law takes the form that it does. For if we are to have law at all (and every known social group has had codes approximating to what we would recognise as law) then it must be responsive to the needs of society. If the law, or any part of the legal system, fails to respond to those needs, then it clearly becomes open to criticism. I see neither use nor virtue in presenting or studying law as if it were merely a package of rules; or in a way which suggests that there is nothing wrong with it. And if criticisms of the law lead to criticisms of the society whose law it is, then so be it. If the critical comments in this book have the effect of stimulating further thought and discussion on the part of the reader, then one objective, at least, will have been achieved. This, indeed, is one of the approaches taken in this book, the other being that law cannot properly be understood, and certainly ought not to be studied, in a way which fails to take account of the social, economic and political contexts out of which the law arises and in which it operates. Consequently, the reader will find that this book differs from most other law texts. I have tried to locate legal rules and institutions within the context of their historical background, taking into account the economic and political forces which have shaped – some might even say distorted – English law. To do this, I have incorporated, where appropriate, materials from disciplines other than that which is conventionally regarded as law.
efficiency of millet-derived versus commercial yoghurt cultures in lactose elimination
Level: university
Type: dissertations
Subject: biotechnology
Author: amoit scholastic
Lactase deficiency is present in up to 15 % of persons of northern European descent, up to 80 % of blacks and Latinos, and up to 100 % of American Indians and Asians. About 78% of Africans have lactose Intolerance and 58% in Ugandans. Probiotic yogurt, comprised of a Fiti sachet containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 and Streptococcus thermophilus C106, has been used in the developing world, notably Africa, to alleviate malnutrition and disease. In sub-Saharan African countries, fermentation of cereals such as millet, is culturally significant. The aim of this study was to investigate milk fermentation capability of fermented finger millet extract when compared to commercially available yoghurt starter cultures. The objectives were: (i) to determine the time taken by the different yoghurt cultures to attain a pH of 4.5; (ii) to compare the efficiency of lactose fermentation of the locally made-culture and the commercial yoghurt cultures and (iii) to determine the shelf-life of yoghurt made by the different yoghurt cultures. The local culture was prepared from finger millet and the yoghurt samples were then made from the cultures. These yoghurt samples were the evaluated for shelf life tests, organoleptic tests and time taken for the attainment of a pH 4.5 in each of the cultures. Lactose content evaluation was carried out after a period of 24 hours for three days. Lactose reduced in all fermented products. After three days of observation, lactose content in yogurt made from fermented finger millet extract reduced to 1.4g/20mls compared to <0.5g/20mls in Danisco Yo-Mix and Hansen Yoflex commercial yoghurt starter cultures. Yoghurt produced from commercial starter cultures had the longest shelf life of up to three days compared to that from the fermented finger millet extract that lasted for only two days.

The study sought to examine the factors influencing women entrepreneurs’ performance in Uganda. The embraced research design included cross sectional design with a quantitative approach. The study used a questionnaire to obtain responses to items on the study constructs, and obtained a response of 298 out of a sample of 395 women entrepreneurs in Kampala. The research instrument was confirmed for validity and reliability with the help of the content validity index and Cronbach’s alpha, respectively. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive and inferential statistics in accordance with the research objectives. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse responses to the questionnaire. On the other hand, inferential statistics were used to examine the significance of the relationship (Pearson’s correlation) between entrepreneurial orientation, human capital, entrepreneur goals, environmental conditions and women entrepreneurial performance. To examine the influence of these factors on performance of women entrepreneurs, multiple regression analysis was utilized. This was also used to determine the variance in performance that was attributable to these factors. Findings revealed that, entrepreneurial orientation, human capital, entrepreneur goals, and environmental conditions related significantly with performance of women entrepreneurs. Entrepreneur goals showed the highest influence, followed by human capital. Entrepreneurial orientation considered alone had a significant influence but with consideration of other factors, it had no significant influence on women entrepreneurial performance. Environmental conditions specifically government support was found to strengthen the effect of human capital, entrepreneurial orientation and entrepreneur goals. The study recommended that, for women entrepreneurs to increase their performance, they should increase their orientation towards; risk taking, innovation, pro-activeness in business, competitive aggressiveness; strive for increasing necessary knowledge, practical skills and experiences in starting, managing and sustaining entrepreneurial ventures; set, review and update entrepreneurial goals that will drive their efforts towards successful entrepreneurial performance. The study further recommended that Government should ensure a conducive gender-sensitive entrepreneurship environment for women entrepreneurship to thrive.

Subject: records and archives management
Author: ajok stella
This study titled „‟Analysis of Filing systems of archival records in repositories. A case study of the Archives Repository, National Records Centre and Archive (NRCA)”was carried out from the National Records Centre and Archive. The aim of the study was to analyze filing systems at the Archive Repositories of the National Records Centre and Archive. This study was guided by three (03) research objectives; to analyze the current kinds of Filing systems at the Archives repository of the National Records Centre and Archive, to identify the challenges of Filing systems at the Archives repository of the National Records Centre and Archive, to propose possible measures to improve the Filing systems at the Archives repository of the National Records Centre and Archive. A cross sectional case study research design was used to obtain information from 12 selected respondents who included records officers as well as users of records in repositories. The study employed qualitative research methodologies during data collection, analysis and presentation. The study found out the records filing systems in the National Archives are stored both in paper and electronic format, while very little appears in digital/electronic format. This implied that much of the records are filed in paper format, with limited levels of automation and computerization, highlighting the underlying challenge of slow retrieval and access to the filed records as well as rampant cases of missing records. The study concluded the current filing system is a bit effective. With the current filing system, access and retrieval of records is done either manually or electronically depending on the form it is stored in. Information retrieval selects documents from a collection according to the presence or absence of keywords assigned by an indexer. The study recommended that more computers should be purchased and installed to facilitate the automation and computerization of student keeping and management; the computers should also be updated with modern and relevant programmes for financial records and Information management. The records management staff should also be trained further in the area of modern computer usage to enable faster and efficient filing, retrieval and access in the National Records Centre and Archive.
