The study assesses the contribution of deejays to the entertainment industry in Kampala, Uganda, with reference to deejays Babaz and Bamos. The specific objectives of the study were: 1) understanding the nature of deejaying business in Kampala; 2) tracing the historical background of deejaying business in Kampala and 3) examining the contribution of deejays to the entertainment industry in Kampala. The study employed the qualitative research methodology involving conducting interviews with two deejays: Babaz and Bamos. A smartphone was used to record the conversation (dialogue) during the interviews using an application called „Sound Recorder‟ and notes were written down on a notebook. Deejays get their work through gigs got from their friends, bar owners, managers and so on. They work at events, Television and Radio Stations, among others. Although deejays are going through a number of challenges, including being undermined, being paid less money, harshness from clients (employers), problem in booking a place for a gig and competition, they play a crucial role towards the entertainment industry in Kampala. They introduce new music to the audience or people, promote artists‟ music through playing it on Television and Radio Stations, bars and parties among other places they work from. Deejays as well promote branding of either the artists or even the radio and TV stations where they work from.

This study was about ebyeevugo (music recitatives) among the Banyankole of South-Western Uganda and the roles women and men play during their performances. In this study, I examined the background, nature of the people, performance styles and the roles men and women play when ebyeevugo are performed. I also examined the nature of continuity and change that has occurred in these performances. The findings in this study indicate that indeed ebyeevugo act as a platform for the Banyankole to portray the roles of men and women in their society. When these recitatives are performed, the roles of women and men are showcased. These roles are portrayed through song texts and costumes, among other items. My research has also shown that a number of things have changed in the context of what ebyeevugo are composed of and the perception of people about them. These changes are as a result of education, religion, and modernity as a whole. For example, in the twenty-first century, it is no longer only the men that are allowed to perform ebyeevugo as it was the case among traditional Banyankole, but also the women can do so in the contemporary society.

The study addressed the impact of Kadongo Kamu music as used in television commercials in persuading customers to buy products, using “Bosco katala wa city” as my case study. Many genres of music have been used to create television commercials such as Kadongo Kamu, pop, hip-hop and many others but Kadongo Kamu has been less used yet it can also reach the set objectives and goals of those advertising companies. See “Bosco katala wa city” MTN momo advert that used Kadongo Kamu to sell the MTN first consumer goods such as airtime, lines, data, voice bundles. The fact that this music trended a lot not only in Uganda but also in outside countries, it is enough to show that our music that means Kadongo Kamu music has the ability to persuade customers because of its nature. In this study, I analyzed the impact of Kadongo Kamu music in persuading customers to buy products, how the lyrical content in Kadongo Kamu also help in persuading customers, how Kadongo Kamu is differs from other genres and the influence to other genres. The researcher used a qualitative study as a research methodology for collecting information and used tools like interviews, documentary. Findings show that Kadongo Kamu is one of the best music that can persuade customers to buy products because of its character, rich lyrical content, gamma, catchy melodies which are interesting, the Bakisimba beats and the drama in it.

The purpose of this study was to find out methods of lighting used by cinematographers in Kampala . Basing on the following objectives ; To find out the impact of cinematic lighting methods to the output of film, To find out the relationship of profession and experience of lighting designers and cinematographers in Kampala. Local Films produced in Uganda have failed to be broadcasted on local television channels because most of them are of poor quality and not of standard even if the broadcasting policy of 2013 gives local content 70% of broadcast, films have continuously failed this is so because of poor lighting methods used by cinematographers in Uganda . The study was descriptive in nature and it involved qualitative methods of data collection which were administered through interviews to guide the collection of data. The total sample comprised of five groups which were Directors of Photography, Directors, Light designers, Light technicians and final film consumers. Purposive sampling was used where the researcher went to production houses and film sets to select Directors of photography and light designers in Kampala . Primary data was obtained from library materials, textbooks, internet, and published journals . Data analysis was carried out through concentration on content and narrative analysis analysis of data that was obtained from the field. Findings reveled that cinematographer's in Kampala use ambience method of lighting film and are not much aware of basic film lighting methods like three point lighting method. It was concluded that cinematographers ,light designers and light technicians in Kampala should enroll for a certificate, diploma or a degree in specific areas on film production to be professionals if Ugandan films are to be broadcasted and compete on the global film market.

The Quality of medical care in hospitals needs a lot of efforts to be improved; today these efforts are mainly focusing on increasing the practice of evidence-based medicine through the use of Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS). Proper use of clinical information is especially important in an effort to make sound clinical decisions and provide quality health services. The purpose of this project was to develop the Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS), A web application to be used by medical workers to assist them in carrying out evidence based clinical decisions in hospitals. This will be used by hospitals to assist them during all phases of clinical decision. The app will be accessed via a web browser with internet connection. Qualitative data collection techniques were used to gather information using questionnaires and interviews that were issued to a population sample size of 3 medical centers around central Kampala. The findings revealed that there is need for clinical decision support system in the hospitals. The findings also revealed the system requirements such patient data management and real-time diagnosis which are needed to develop the system. The output of this project is a fully functioning Clinical Decision Support System to be used by the medical workers online. Keywords: Web Application, Clinical Decision Support System, Medical workers, Clinical decision.

Our project is a product tracing system project that traces the flow of a product as it gets from the farmer to the final consumer using the Ethereum blockchain technology and validating the origin of that product. In chapter One of this document contains the Introduction and Background of the subject matter from where all the parts build from. It briefly highlights what product tracing is all about as well as what blockchain technology is all about. It furthermore gives a revelation and insight in the matter summarizing the question why blockchain? as the problem statement into detail defines the scope and the objectives for this project. The scope is subdivided into two parts namely: Geographical scope and the Technical Scope where by the former is the location constraint whereas the latter what the project puts more emphasis on. It also gives the significance of this project. As the journey continues, we go into Chapter Two which is all about the literature review. It is then partitioned into different sections for example: Introduction, the approaches to Track Products, the challenges, the advantages, the differences between blockchain and centralized architecture, the limitations and then a summary of a proposed system. Chapter three gives the methodology used while data was obtained. It goes on to expound on the research methods we used like Surveys and the data collection methods/tools like questionnaires, study of analogous systems and so on.

Financial instability amongst couples in Uganda has precipitated a concrete foundation for marriage instabilities instigated by poor financial management practices and planning amongst relationship partners. This report is directed towards justifying a need for a Couple’s Financial Management system that would help minimize financial instabilities amongst married couples in Uganda through better management technical provisions. Previous studies indicate that marital quality among newlyweds, based on findings received from respondents who have been married for less than 24 months, mentioned that the most dissatisfactory factor for marital satisfaction is financial strain. Furthermore, another study based on cross-sectional data indicated that individual and couple financial etiquettes are considered one of the primary reasons for relationship dissatisfaction and may induce divorce. Inclusive in the study, we made use of two data gathering techniques limiting our geographical scope to the Kampala region using interviews and questionnaires to decompose specific components to enable us to justify the need for the proposed system. We administered interviews using a face-to-face approach with questionnaires being administered both physically and using online means. We made use of online analytic software i.e., Google forms, and statistical measures of mean, mode, and median to find key relations within our data. In favor of the earlier assumed narrative based on previous studies, our findings indicated that financial strain is a major contributing factor to couple instabilities and that 61.2% of the participants supported the need for the proposed Couple Financial management system with 33.7% proposing otherwise. It was further discovered that the development of the proposed system would not only try to minimize financial instabilities but also acquaint users of the system with a much-needed financial grasp to help them better manage their finances. In summary, the Couple Financial Management System was developed comprising a variety of much-needed system features that would aid in minimizing financial strain on couples within today’s current social climate. The system is soon to be used but is subject to additional adjustments to provide better financial capabilities, which would comprise payment capabilities from the developer side, benefits, and better system navigation and financial features from a user-side perspective.

Farmers’ adaptation to climate change is still low and this leaves them vulnerable to hunger and poverty during harsh climatic conditions. This study aimed at increasing adaptation by Agropastoralists in Nabiswera sub-county to climate change and was achieved through the following objectives; 1) determining the farmers’ perception on climate shocks and their effects to Agropastoralists communities in Nabiswera Sub-county, 2) determining the effectiveness of climate change adaptation interventions by the Agro-pastoralists in Nabiswera Sub-county. The study was conducted in Nabiswera sub-county, Nakasongola district using a structured questionnaire on 43 farmers who were purposely selected to include only those that had stayed in the area for over 20 years who could give viable data about the climate change in their communities. The results of the study showed that all farmers (100%) were aware of the changes in the climate and had experienced the effects and hardships associated with these changes. There has been a decrease in the amount of rains received annually, with the most decrease happening in the 1st rainy season between March to May with a percentage of 100% decrease as reported by farmers interviewed in the sub-county. This decrease has been reported to have started happening in the previous two years for example, from late 2020 to early 2022. The dry season temperatures have been observed to increase as reported about by all farmers (100%) as the intensity of wind in the dry season increases where 60.5% farmers reported about this, and it was due to increased drought season that was observed by most households interviewed in the sub-county. The percentage of farmers who have reported the increase in drought frequencies were (90.7%) which was the biggest hindrance to their agricultural production in the area. Some of the major impacts climate change has had on farmers were failure of the annual and perennial crops, low and/or no crop yields at all, outbreak of pests and diseases, termites surge and destruction of both pastures and crops. The analysis showed that the most effective adaptation measures for crops that were used by farmers to overcome harsh climatic conditions were; planting drought resistant crops with the mean rank of 4.75 followed by the early planting with the mean rank of 4.00 and the least effective being shifting from crops to livestock with the mean value of 2.86 whereas the adaptation measures used by the livestock farmers were; stocking rate control with the mean value of 4.05 as the most effective followed by fencing off grazing fields with the mean rank of 3.94 and the least effective measure was planting drought tolerant pastures with mean rank of 2.00. The most effective adaptation measures for soil and water conservation were through the use of fertilizers with the mean rank of 5.00 followed by the use of manures with the mean value of 4.31 and the least effective measure was water harvesting with the mean value of 3.50. Due to less knowledge coverage for the improved and proven climate adaptation measures in the community, famers need to be trained and sensitized on the better approaches to climate adaption measures through their trusted model farmers in cooperation with the government extension workers who are able to train the farmers step by step adaptation procedures until a certain set goal is achieved.
