  • Breast-feeding practices and maternal employment in health facilities of Lira District, Northern Uganda

    • Authors: Omute, Tom;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Kirungi, Gloria (2022)

  • In Uganda, many working mothers stop breast-feeding before the end of the mandatory maternity leave of 60 days. Inadequate breast-feeding is a risk factor for infant morbidity and mortality. Thus, understanding of the factors that influence breast-feeding is essential so as to advocate for the appropriate breast-feeding practices. This cross-sectional study assessed the pre-lacteal feeding (PLF), early initiation of breast-feeding (EIBF) and exclusive breast-feeding (EBF) and the associated factors for PLF, EIBF and EBF among working mothers in health facilities in Lira District, Northern Uganda.

  • Mapping and gap analysis on antimicrobial resistance surveillance systems in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia

    • Authors: Matee, Mecky;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Mshana, Stephen E.; Mtebe, Majigo; Komba, Erick Vitus; Moremi, Nyambura; Lutamwa, Julius; Kapona, Otrida; Sekamatte, Musa; Mboera, Leonard E. G. (2023)

  • Antimicrobial resistance is a global problem and involve pathogens which have the potential to move between food producing animals and humans by direct exposure or through the food chain or the environment. The objective of this study was to determine the performance in addressing antimicrobial resistance in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia. Desk review and in-depth interviews were employed for data collection. Interviews were conducted with national antimicrobial resistance focal officials.

  • Oxytetracycline residues in bovine muscles, liver and kidney tissues from selected slaughter facilities in South Western Uganda

    • Authors: Kebirungi, Pheonah;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Nyombi, Anthony; Omara, Timothy; Adaku, Christopher; Ntambi, Emmanuel (2022)

  • Due to high disease burden and poor animal health services in Uganda, administration of antimicrobials particularly oxytetracycline (OTC) is often done by farm owners and workers without any prescription. This results in misuse of OTC with consequent high chances of antibiotic residues and antimicrobial resistance hence posing public health threat. The degree of public health threat from OTC use is not well established due to limited published data on antibiotic residues and usage in livestock production in Uganda. This study comparatively determined OTC residue levels in 318 samples of bovine muscles, liver and kidney tissues from Kiruhura, Mbarara and Ntungamo districts of South Wes...

  • Simulating Spatial Patterns of Urban Growth in Kampala, Uganda, and Its Impact on Flood Risk

    • Authors: Perez Molina, E.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Sliuzas, R. V.; Flacke, J. (2018)

  • The case study reported in this chapter approaches this question by adopting a geo-computational approach: it details the use of existing urban growth (Pérez-Molina et al., 2017) and flood models (Sliuzas et al., 2013a) of Kampala (Uganda) for designing future urban growth scenarios and testing their flooding impact. Specifically, the scenarios seek to reproduce and operationalise building densification options available for inclusion in the Kampala Physical Development Plan (KPDP), commissioned by the Kampala Capital City Authority in 2012 (ROM Transport et al., 2012). With this in mind, our research aims were to: (1) identify building densification options ...
