Assessing the Use of Rice Husks and Spent Grain for the Removal of Heavy Metals From Surface Water
(Uganda Christian University, 2025-04-11) Jeremiah Richard Kayongo
This study assessed the use of rice husks and brewer’s spent grain as adsorbents for removing heavy metals from River Nyamwamba's water. The research aimed to address the significant heavy metal contamination in the river, posing risks for domestic use. The study employed in-situ measurements of physico-chemical properties and heavy metal analysis, followed by laboratory experiments to determine the adsorption efficiency of the biochars of rice husks and brewers’ spent grain. The findings revealed that a mix ratio of 1:3 (rice husks to brewer’s spent grain) provided the most efficient removal of copper and iron, with removal efficiencies of 95.63% and 94.63%, respectively. The study concluded that steam activation significantly enhanced the adsorbents' performance, making them effective for improving water quality. These results highlight the potential of using agricultural by-products as sustainable and cost-effective solutions for water treatment in regions affected by heavy metal pollution.

(Uganda Christian University, 2025-07-10) Anitah Orishaba
The research was about “Challenges Faced By Caregivers and their influence on Patients’ health recovery process At Mulago National Referral Hospital”. The goal of the study was to highlight the challenges faced by Mulago National Referral Hospital patients and caregivers in order to provide viable alternatives for maximizing the caregiving resources available in Ugandan healthcare institutions. The cross-sectional research approach used during the study enabled the researcher to analyze the challenges faced by Mulago National Referal Hospital patients and caregivers.
In this inquiry, the researcher used purposeful sampling. This is because the cross-sectional nature of the study required specificity in the selection of sample elementsStatistics gathered from the sampled caregivers at Mulago National Referral Hospital indicated that the problems pointed out by previous study findings still apply in the current situation. The results of this investigation indicated that caregivers encountered a variety of challenges, including the incapacity to care for patients and earn a living at the same time, the time commitment involved in providing care, the risk of depression and stress, the inability to get enough sleep while giving care, the frequency of financial issues related to providing care among others.
Overall, the study's insights captured the actual circumstances that caregivers face when tending to patients or loved ones. That is, caregivers face a number of difficulties, including the inability to provide care for patients and earn a living at the same time, the time commitment of caregiving, the associated stress and depression, the inability to get enough sleep during caregiving, the frequent occurrence of financial difficulties related to caregiving among others.
The study recommended the need for additional research on health insurance schemes.
More research is required on the fundamental health curriculum and training paradigm for the general public. It is necessary to implement a fundamental health and first aid knowledge education model and methods of delivery because everyone has the potential to provide healthcare, whether at a medical facility or even at home.
Harnessing Quantum Computing for Enhanced Detection and Frustration of Offshore Tax Non-Compliance in the American Tax System
(Uganda Christian University, 2025-05-21) Peter Mpaka
Offshore tax evasion and avoidance pose a persistent threat to the integrity of the American tax system, costing the U.S. economy trillions of dollars in lost revenue. Despite comprehensive legislation and enforcement efforts by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), multinational corporations and high net worth individuals continue to exploit legal loopholes and technological limitations to shield income and assets from the U.S. taxman. This dissertation explores the transformative potential of quantum computing in addressing these enforcement challenges. By leveraging quantum principles such as superposition and entanglement, quantum computers offer unparalleled computational power capable of processing vast data sets, enhancing cryptographic analysis and accelerating artificial intelligence applications for financial forensics. This study critically examines the limitations of the current IRS infrastructure, the legal frameworks surrounding offshore tax non-compliance, and the technical and ethical considerations of integrating quantum technologies into tax administration. Ultimately, it proposes a forward-looking model in which quantum computing becomes a key instrument in closing the tax gap and promoting global economic fairness

A Study of Autonomous Weapon Systems as a Choice of Means and Methods of Warfare in Relation to the Principles Governing the Law of Armed Conflict. Case Study; Russo – Ukrainian War
(Uganda Christian University, 2025-06-27) Immaculate M. Achuka Abiro
This research will seek to give some insight on what should be done to level the ground when it comes to armed conflicts among states, keeping in mind the application of the principles of customary international humanitarian law.
The development of artificial intelligence in each and every aspect and field globally means that the area of armed conflict is not an exception. In a bid to ensure complete achievement of the reasons for resorting to armed conflict, states have been seen to openly resort to the use of these autonomous weapon systems. The employment of these autonomous weapon systems in conducting war has been to a larger extent a disregard of the principles governing armed conflict. This is majorly because the law of armed conflict seeks to strike a balance between humanity and the ability to achieve the desired end for either party to the armed conflict. It should be duly noted that in order to uphold the concept of humanity, international humanitarian law runs and is based on a number of guiding principles that include the principles of humanity, distinction, discrimination, military necessity, proportionality, neutrality, as well as prohibition from causing excessive harm and superfluous injury. It should be noted that the law governing armed entirely leans on the need to distinguish civilians and civilian objects from the military and military objects and objectives. This is embedded under articles 48 and 51 (4) of additional protocol 1 to the Geneva conventions. Therefore, taking all necessary laws, conventions and treaties into consideration, this research paper will show how the use of autonomous weapon systems in armed conflict is a threat to the observance of the principles of international humanitarian law does, placing emphasis on how the use of these autonomous weapon systems defies and limits the actual implementation of the principles above that govern the law of war.
Assessing the Low Engagement of Youth and Children in Church Ministry at Rwabukoba C.O.U Parish, Kashenyi Archdeaconry, North Kigezi Diocese
(Uganda Christian University, 2025-06-24) Nicholas Turyahabwe
This study assessed the factors contributing to the low engagement of youths and Children in Church ministry at Rwabukoba COU Parish, Kashenyi Archdeaconry, North Kigezi Diocese, and propose strategies to enhance their active participation. It was guided by the following objectives; to evaluate the extent to which the Church actively engages the next generation (youths and Children) in ministry and leadership roles, to identify the key factors contributing to the low participation of youths and children in Church ministry and to develop and implement targeted programs that foster intergenerational connections within the Church and extend these initiatives to the broader community. The study utilized a quantitative research approach and data was collected from a sample of 80 respondents using both the questionnaire and interview methods.
From the study, it was found that the evaluation of youth and children’s engagement in ministry and leadership roles at Rwabukoba COU Parish reveals a significant gap between the Church’s potential and its current practice in nurturing the next generation. Through systematic assessment, it becomes evident that while the Church possesses the structural framework and theological foundation to actively involve young people in meaningful ministry roles, the practical implementation remains limited. The research demonstrates that current engagement levels fall short of creating sustainable pathways for youth and children to participate meaningfully in Church leadership, worship activities, and community service initiatives. This limited engagement not only affects the immediate spiritual development of young congregants but also threatens the long-term vitality and continuity of the parish’s mission and vision.
The identification of key factors contributing to low participation among youth and children reveals a complex interplay of cultural, structural, and relational barriers that must be addressed holistically. Primary contributing factors include traditional hierarchical church structures that inadvertently exclude younger voices, limited age-appropriate programming and worship opportunities, insufficient mentorship and discipleship programs, and a disconnect between contemporary youth culture and traditional church practices. The development and implementation of targeted intergenerational programs emerge as crucial solutions that can bridge existing gaps and create sustainable engagement pathways for the broader community. The research findings indicate that successful youth and children engagement requires intentional programming that honors both traditional church values and contemporary relevance, creating spaces where different generations can learn from and contribute to one another.
From the findings of the study, it was recommended that the department should create age-appropriate leadership tracks that provide meaningful responsibilities, decision-making authority, and skill development opportunities within the church structure. The parish must implement regular assessment mechanisms including quarterly engagement surveys, participation tracking systems, and feedback sessions to monitor progress and adjust strategies accordingly. Additionally, the church should develop a formal mentorship program pairing experienced adult leaders with emerging youth leaders, ensuring knowledge transfer and providing supportive guidance for young people stepping into ministry roles. This structural transformation should include establishing youth-led worship services, children’s ministry teams, and community outreach programs that give young people authentic ownership and responsibility in church operations.
Hard Work and Responsibility in 2 Thessalonians 3:10
(Uganda Christian University, 2025-06-18) Cosmas Janson Galaliza
This study investigates the themes of hard work and personal responsibility as expressed in 2 Thessalonians 3:10, with particular attention to the apostolic instruction: “If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.”(ESV). Employing a library-based methodology, the research engages in exegetical analysis of the passage within its historical and literary context, supported by a survey of biblical commentaries, theological literature, and socio-historical studies. The paper explores how Paul addresses issues of idleness and disorderly conduct in the Thessalonian community, situating the instruction within the broader framework of Pauline ethics and eschatological expectation. The findings suggest that the apostle’s exhortation was not merely a response to economic laziness, but a pastoral correction aimed at restoring communal order and theological integrity. This study further considers the relevance of Paul’s teaching for contemporary Christian understandings of work ethics, social responsibility, and the dignity of labor.

The findings contribute to understanding the intersection of religious institutions, child development, and community welfare, with implications for both religious practice and child-centered community initiatives.
An Analysis of Effects of Conflicts Between Priests and Lay Readers on Church Ministry in Endiinzi Archdeaconry Ankole Diocese
(Uganda Christian University, 2025-05-15) Richard Katsigazi
Conflicts between clergy and lay readers are not unique to any single region or denomination but
are a widespread phenomenon affecting church ministry globally. Muhanji Jones (2016) emphasizes that hierarchical structures in church leadership are a primary source of tension between priests and lay readers. In many traditional Christian denominations, there is a strict division between the clergy, who are responsible for spiritual oversight, and the laity, who assist in specific ministerial roles. The perceived power imbalance often leads to misunderstandings and conflict, which can negatively impact church operations.

(Uganda Christian University, 2025-07-01) Lilian Abbe
This study explores the experiences of male survivors of domestic violence in Kasonga, Kyangwali Refugee Settlement,and Uganda. Despite growing global attention to domestic violence, male survivors particularly in refugee settings remain largely understudied. The research investigates the forms of domestic violence experienced by male refugees, their perceptions of such abuse and the key drivers contributing to its prevalence. Utilizing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through interviews and focus group discussions with 20 male survivors and key stakeholders including local leaders and social workers. Findings revealed that emotional and psychological abuse was the most prevalent form of domestic violence and followed by physical and economic abuse. Sexual abuse was least reported, largely due to stigma and cultural taboos. Many male survivors internalized gender norms that discouraged disclosure, contributing to underreporting and limited access to support services. The study identified key drivers of domestic violence including gender norms, economic strain, substance abuse and the prolonged nature of refugee life. The findings underscore the need for gender-inclusive policies and psychosocial interventions. The study recommends the establishment of male-targeted support systems, community sensitization to challenge harmful norms and capacity-building for service providers. These efforts are essential to promote the wellbeing and protection of male survivors in humanitarian contexts.

The study objectives were examining the type of assistance given to children; assessing how assistance given to them has impacted their academic performance and assessing the challenges encountered by children if any that hinders their academic performance. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. A sample size of 61 participants was selected. Data was collected using questionnaires, interviews and Focus groups methods. The findings revealed that Sponsorship programs provided a variety of assistance to remove barriers that might impede education, such as assistance include paying for tuition and other school fees, providing school uniforms, shoes and all necessary learning materials among others are provided by sponsorship programs, However, the resources for co-curricular activity resources and nutritional support were incomplete or lacking, therefore limiting many of the potentials of the section of interventions. Additionally, the findings also revealed that sponsorship programs had a great positive impact on beneficiaries' academic performances such as recorded improvement in students’ class attendance, improved concentration of students during classwork, and motivation to perform well, teachers reported an increased level of discipline and also parents attested to changes in their children's results as a result of removing all financial and material barriers to learning. However, some beneficiaries reported that their grades did not improve as significantly, hence the need for tailored interventions to address various individual learning difficulties. Despite of many positive changes, beneficiaries experienced a number of challenges which included; delays in the disbursement of the sponsorship funds, not getting adequate learning materials, others suffered stigmatization from other children, which hurt their feelings. The recommendations included the adoption of a digital payment system, use of digital platforms or libraries, initiating partnerships with schools through recruiting volunteer tutors or through teacher training, initiating Sensitization confidence-building activities among the beneficiaries and ensuring comprehensive health services, routine checkups, and nutritional support among the children.

(Uganda Christian University, 2025-06-10) Mohamud Said Barkhad
This research focuses on the experience of Mira consumption on mental health of Somali youths residing in Kisenyi central Kampala. Mira is progressively being used by youth in the community, particularly peer groups and ceremonies mainly outside parental control. This research was carried out to investigate the social-economic and psychological factors of Mira use and suggest intervention towards enhancing mental well-being among the consumed. The aim in this research division is to comprehend the ways in which Mira users experience mental well-being in the Somali youth in Kisenyi; by examining how cultural practices and mental outcomes interface, the research aims to produce a detailed information of the Mira consumers and how they impacted disadvantaged community with an eye toward intervention development. The method I have used during my research is qualitative design, data was gathered through using of interviews as well as to interact with individuals particularly snowball sampling techniques to help locate one another. This study employs a qualitative research design in which non numerical data are supported to gain a deeper understanding of experience, attitude, beliefs and identify prospective future participants from the community. This method is especially helpful in accessing hard to reach communities an example being Somali youth who use Mira in Kisenyi. Furthermore obtaining in depth information regarding the attitudes, beliefs and experiences of Somali youth as far as using Mira is concerned. The research concluded that Mira use is not only an adaptive reaction to socio-economic problems but also linked to mental health complication among youths. The research calls for swift action through the implantation of mental health sensitization and education programs for the community. The research suggest that social workers implement ongoing educational outreach while policy makers and the government strengthen more stringent drug control legislation in a bid to reduce youth Mira use.

(Uganda Christian University, 2025-05-28) Sylivia Nanyondo
Locally Uganda Christian University is a private institution which has diverse student body from different cultural backgrounds. According to (Mugny Gabriel; et al, 2010)explored how cultural diversity affects social interactions in many educational institutions in Kampala, they found out that students group themselves according to cultural and regional similarities and this can lead to social divisions and tribalism. The targeted population for the study were all students enrolled at Uganda Christian University who were twenty and lecturers as key informants were five totaling to 25 respondents., the researcher used exploratory research design for the study, this design helped the researcher to explore new phenomenon or area of where little was known, this design also provided a deeper understanding, identified patterns and discovered new insights. The researcher concluded that at least in the context of the Uganda Christian University the majority of the faculty and students recognize their beliefs, biases, values and assumptions about human conduct and how these affect their perception of the students in culturally diverse classrooms, they demonstrate inadequate knowledge of the international students’ values, norms and languages. The researcher recommended that Uganda Christian University should reestablish the culture of appropriate dressing codes that seemed to be on decline may be due to complacency of the policy implementers so as to promote the values of the university as one of the best institutions in Uganda Christian vii University.

Impact of Social Support Groups on the Mentally Ill Children With Autism, a Case Study of Kabbubbu Health Center IV, Manyangwa Village, Wakiso District
(Uganda Christian University, 2025-05-28) Hope Eleanor Mukisa
Mental disorders affect approximately one in seven children and adolescents aged 10-19. Among this age group, anxiety disorders affect 27.5% and depression affects 12.7% of children, with these conditions often occurring together (UNICEF 2021). According to Newton (2016), globally, the prevalence of ASD is approximately 1 in 160 children.
According to the New Hope Uganda report 2017, Autistic children are at risk of accidents and injuries due to their impaired judgment. As a result, many caregivers keep these children confined at home for protection. The stigma around autism and lack of willing caregivers contribute to parents isolating their autistic children from the community (New Hope Uganda report 2017). Manyabgwa Village is a rural community in Uganda with limited access to healthcare services. Kabbubbu Health Center IV, located in this village, provides a range of medical services, including mental health support. The center has established social support groups for health workers to share experiences, coping strategies, and provide emotional assistance for autistic members in the community.
The Role of Family Structure in Predicting Juvenile Delinquency
(Uganda Christian University, 2025-06-04) Bonnita Kemigisha
This study examined the correlation between family structure and juvenile delinquency, seeking to establish the type of family dynamics which mainly lead to delinquent behavior among minors. The case study was done at Naguru Remand Home in Kampala- Uganda focusing on juveniles below the age of 18 years. By evaluating different family setups, the study aimed at giving reliable insight on eradicating juvenile delinquency and improving intervention strategies. The Broken Home Theory, which links non-traditional family structures to higher delinquency rates, serves as a key framework for understanding these patterns. Data collection was done using qualitative methods, primarily interviews, allowing for a deeper exploration of participants' experiences. The findings will expand the body of knowledge and offer practical recommendations on eradicating juvenile delinquency and gender-based violence. These include implementing family education programs to raise awareness about the impact of different family structures and creating vocational training opportunities for at-risk youth to reduce delinquency. By addressing these factors, the study hopes to contribute to more effective solutions for juvenile rehabilitation and crime prevention.
