Item Restricted Determining the Water Quality from Selected Underground Water Springs and Other Selected Sources of Water Around Kabale Municipality.(Kabale University, 2024) Kemigisha, AngellaThis study investigated the water quality of water from selected underground water springs and other selected sources of water (Rwabakazi, Nyakiharo well, Kirigime well, and tap water) around Kabale municipality. The study was conducted in Kabale Municipality located in Kabale district, southwestern Uganda. The study principally determined the quality of water from underground water springs, wells, tap water from Kirigime, Nyakiharo, Nyakambu, and Rwamukundi, and River Rwabakazi. This study aimed at helping residents within the sampled sites to identify which of the water is suitable for human consumption. This involved the determination of the physicochemical parameters (pH, chloride ion concentration, and total hardness) of water obtained from the selected domestic water sources by quantitative analysis which involved titration except for water pH which was determined using a pH meter at the location. The results showed that Tap water with a pH of 6.7 on average, which was within the recommended range of 6.5-8.5 by WHO, a chloride concentration of 245ppm which was also in the range of 200-300ppm and a total hardness of 100. Hence showed that tap water was suitable for domestic use. While other sources diverted from the recommended values by WHO, River Rwabakazi had the largest diversity from the recommended values by WHO thus its water was not suitable for domestic use. It was recommended that agricultural activities around water sources be regulated to avoid water contamination.Item Restricted Prediction of Outcomes in Sports Under Probability in Kigezi Region.(Kabale University, 2024) Masereka, JairusThe study investigated the best method for predicting sports outcomes using the probability method around the Kigezi region. The study objectives were to identify the effect of poor prediction of sports results on the coaches and the entire team and to find out the role of Probability in Sports Analytics. The study used purposive and random sampling in selecting respondents. The study revealed that present survey/interview responses showed how incorrect predictions led to poor decision-making (e.g., wrong player selection, ineffective game strategy). In that "45.5% of coaches reported changing tactics mid-game due to unexpected outcomes, often leading to disorganized play." Using Poisson, the prediction accuracy improved by 15% compared to traditional methods." If these conditions are true, then k is a Poisson random variable, and the distribution of k is a Poisson distribution. The Poisson distribution is also the limit of a binomial distribution, for which the probability of success for each trial equals λ divided by the number of trials, as the number of trials approaches infinity. The study concludes that the prediction of outcomes in sports, particularly in the Kigezi region, relies heavily on the application of probability theory. Understanding and applying probability helps in making informed predictions, although the inherently unpredictable nature of sports outcomes must be acknowledged. The study recommends that encouraging local sports organizations in Kigezi to improve the collection and analysis of sports-related data. Accurate and comprehensive data on teams, players, and match conditions will improve the quality of predictions.Item Restricted Teachers’ Motivation and CRE Learners Academic Performance in Secondary Schools of Kayonza Sub-County Kanungu District.(Kabale University, 2024) Asiimwe, HonestThe study examined teacher motivation and the academic performance of Christian Religious Education (CRE) students in secondary schools in Kayonza Sub-County, Kanungu District. The study’s objectives were to identify methods used to motivate teachers in these schools, to assess the impact of teacher motivation on students’ academic performance in CRE, and to suggest ways to improve teacher motivation in the Kayonza Sub-County. A cross-sectional research design was employed, with data gathered through interviews and questionnaires. The findings revealed that most respondents noted that teachers are primarily motivated by wages and salaries, while fewer respondents mentioned the provision of hard-to-reach allowances as a motivational factor. Regarding the effects of teacher motivation on CRE students' performance, the majority of respondents indicated that motivated teachers work with confidence and dedication, which inspires students to study diligently and achieve good results. A smaller group of respondents mentioned that teacher motivation helps attract competent educators, leading to higher-quality teaching and improved student performance. In terms of ways to improve teacher motivation, the majority suggested that increasing teachers’ salaries would enhance their job satisfaction, while fewer respondents pointed to the importance of recognizing teachers’ contributions. The study recommended that school management should actively engage with teachers to understand their perspectives on organizational policies and treatment, as this could enhance teacher satisfaction and, consequently, students’ academic performance.Item Restricted Impact of Climate Change on Food Security in Kashare Sub-County, Mbarara District.(Kabale University, 2024) Agaba, RichardThe study examined the impact of climate change on food security in Kashare Sub-County, Mbarara District. The objectives were to identify the causes of climate change in the area, evaluate its effects on crop yields and food security, and explore the adaptation strategies that farmers use to counter climate change impacts on food production and livelihoods. A cross-sectional study design was employed, involving a sample of 105 respondents. Data collection methods included self-administered questionnaires, observations, and interview guides. Data analysis was conducted using Excel to produce descriptive statistics such as frequencies and percentages, which were presented in tables and text. According to the study findings on climate change causes, most respondents cited deforestation as the primary cause, with fewer respondents mentioning factors like industrialization, which ranked last. Unsustainable agricultural practices ranked second, and fossil fuel burning ranked third. Regarding the impact on crop yields and food security, 42.9% of respondents reported a reduction in maize yields as the main consequence, while 9.5% noted declines in other crops like sweet potatoes. Additionally, 33.3% mentioned reduced bean production, and 14.3% observed decreased cassava yields. In terms of adaptation strategies, 38.1% of respondents highlighted crop diversification as the primary approach, while 9.5% mentioned other strategies like agroforestry. Soil conservation practices were noted by 33.3%, and water harvesting techniques by 19.1%. The study recommended that farmers in Kashare Sub-County undertake reforestation efforts to restore natural vegetation, while the government should enforce existing environmental policies, introduce new regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and promote sustainable land use practices.Item Restricted Application of the Critical Path Method in Project Planning and Management.(Kabale University, 2024) Kateu, VictorProject success can be hardly achieved without planning, scheduling, and estimating its duration for completion. However, even when that is so, most of the projects in Uganda are run without proper planning, and if planning is done, it is often carried out using approaches that are not effective enough to guarantee accuracy. All projects must have a deadline for their completion, but not every project goes as scheduled. This calls for the application of scientific methods such as CPM, often very useful in project management and scheduling. This study was on the application of the Critical Path Method (CPM) in project planning and management, taking a case study of the Kabale University multipurpose building construction project at the engineering faculty in Kekubo. The analytical research design was adopted for the study as the design suits the study at hand. Secondary data on the activities, their descriptions, and predecessor as well as their duration were obtained from the construction site. A weighted digraph was drawn to represent the relationship between the activities, the weights on each arrow (edge) represented the duration of the project, and vertices (nodes) represented the various activities. The longest path algorithm was then applied to establish the duration of the project and the critical path activities. These results were the same as those obtained using the CPM which gave us all critical activities and their total slacks. The results show that if CPM is applied to the project, the project can be completed in 321 days compared to the initial duration of 185 days proposed by the client. This calls for measures to be undertaken by the contractor since the project will be delayed by 136 days following the normal schedule. We recommend that CPM should be used in a building construction company before embarking on the building, that way, crashing can be done and proper resource allocation can be done to ensure successful project completion. The construction firm should devote more resources, labor, and equipment to the critical path to avoid unnecessary delay and penalties where possible.Item Restricted Assessing the Effects of Land Use Practices on Land Cover in Bubare Sub-County Rubanda District.(Kabale University, 2024) Kembabazi, NaomeThis study examined the impact of land use practices on land cover in Bubare sub-county, Rubanda district, addressing three main objectives: to identify and characterize land use practices in Bubare, to assess how farming systems influence forest cover, and to evaluate the effectiveness of land use policies in managing local land resources. Data were collected from 132 respondents, including Bubare sub-county staff, local leaders, and community members, using questionnaires and interview guides. Descriptive statistics were analyzed with Microsoft Excel, and the findings were presented in tables, charts, and graphs. The results revealed the presence of various policies and laws governing land use and land cover, including the National Land Use Policy (14%), the National Land Act (20%), the Land Act of 1998 (10%), the Uganda National Land Policy 2013 (16%), and local policies or regulations (40%). Most respondents (40%) indicated that local policies or rules governing land and soil conservation were the primary policies used in Bubare sub-county. The findings also indicated that land use practices impacted the environment, with outcomes such as improved crop quality (18%), increased yield per acre (20%), and enhanced food security (36%). The study recommends that farmers apply manure and fertilizers to enhance yield quality and quantity and promote food production. The use of farmyard manure should be encouraged to restore land cover, alongside sustainable farming practices like crop rotation and rotational grazing to prevent land degradation. Additionally, policies should be developed to promote afforestation, reduce deforestation, and educate the community on the responsible use of land to prevent environmental damage.Item Restricted Impact of Culture on English Language Learning, A Study Carried Out on Selected Schools in Ntungamo District.(Kabale University, 2024) Asiimire, DecklineThis qualitative study explored the influence of culture on English language learning by examining various learners from selected schools in Ntungamo District.

The novel, set in early 19th-century England, presents a critical view of the social hierarchy through the interactions and development of its characters. This research employs Marxist literary criticism, feminist theory, and sociological theories of social stratification to analyze how Austen’s depiction of class influences characters' choices, marriage prospects, and social mobility. Austen’s narrative, centered around the Bennet family’s struggles with economic pressures and societal expectations, reveals the complexities of class dynamics and gender roles. Key characters, such as Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, challenge and subvert class norms, illustrating Austen’s critique of superficial social distinctions and her advocacy for personal merit over inherited status. The study highlights how Austen uses satire and irony to address the moral limitations of the class system and to propose a more flexible social order. By exploring critical scenes and character developments, the research underscores the novel’s relevance in contemporary discussions of social justice and equality. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of Austen’s social commentary, enriching the discourse on literature and its reflection of societal values and conflicts.Item Restricted Operator Theory on Hilbert Spaces.(Kabale University, 2024) Ampeire, AnitahFunctional analysis, particularly the study of Operator theory on Hilbert spaces, plays a pivotal role in mathematics and its applications across various disciplines.

The study was guided by objectives like establishing the activities played by NATO on the performance of Teachers in the Rubanda district, finding out the challenges facing teachers in secondary schools in the Rubanda district, to investigating the solutions to the challenges facing teachers in secondary schools in the Rubanda district. A descriptive cross-sectional survey research design was adopted with both qualitative and quantitative approaches. A total of 68 respondents were selected from 80 as the target population. Questionnaires were used as the main data collection instrument. Some respondents showed that teacher’s trade union is supposed to create favorable working conditions, empowerment, professional development, and job satisfaction for better performance in school by the teachers. Some respondents that when discipline breaks down in school, the safety of teachers and students is jeopardized, turning the school environment into a dangerous place to teach or learn, some respondents agreed that the core among them is the limited classroom language opportunities for the learners to practice the language, some respondents agreed that teachers’ trade unions should keep up the fight for better salaries as better remuneration has been shown to improve job satisfaction. The study concludes that UNATU is trying to promote teachers’ performance by sensitizing the teachers about their performance, conducting regular meetings with teachers, and visiting schools to listen to teachers’ issues about their performance. It can also be concluded that UNATU provides ways for in-service training teachers by calling for pieces of training, informing teachers about the importance of training, and conducting research about the new ways that teachers need to be trained in. The study recommends that the government should effectively listen to UNATU issues on how to improve their performance in schools and this will also improve teacher’s welfare in schools. More educational facilities should be provided by the government such as ICT facilities to the secondary schools for the preparation of teachers so that they can be well equipped in the use of computers. This will aid the teachers to perform more in their duties and improve their motivation levels.Item Embargo The Use of Orature in the Depiction of the Conflict Between the Luo and the Lang’o in the Play Lwanda Magere by Okoiti Omtatah.(Kabale University, 2024) Tayebwa, ShynessThe study examined the use of orature in the depiction of the conflict between the Luo and the Lang’o in the play Lwanda Magere by Okoiti Omtatah.
