LOCAL REVENUE MANAGEMENT AND EDUCATION SERVICE DELIVERY IN GOVERNMENT PRIMARY SCHOOLS A CASE OF MAKINDYE SSABAGABO MUNICIPALITY WAKISO DISTRICT, UGANDA
(IUIU, 2022-12) YIGA, YASIN
The study established the relationship between local revenue management and education service delivery in Wakiso district. Based on this, three specific objectives were formulated and these were; to the relationship between budgeting and education service delivery in Wakiso district, to the relationship between revenue collection and education service delivery in Wakiso district and to the relationship between revenue utilization and education service delivery in Wakiso district. This study adopted a cross sectional survey design in which used quantitative approach were used. The study population was 198 with a sample size of 132 people who were chosen by simple random sampling and census sampling and a response rate of 82% was obtained. Questionnaires with structured questionnaires were also used to get first-hand information for the study. The instruments used in the study had a validity of 0.83 and a reliability of 0.874. Quantitative data was analyzed using SPSS and Pearson Correlation Coefficient was used. The results indicated that there a strong significant relationship between Budgeting and Education Service Delivery (r=.753, N=109, p=.001). The results also indicated that there was a weak positive relationship between Revenue Collection and Education Service Delivery (r=.458, N=109, p=.000). The results further indicated that there was a weak positive relationship between Revenue Collection and Education Service (r=.301, N=109, p=.029). The researcher conclude that if properly managed, the budgeting process, revenue collection and revenue utilization can increase the education service delivery. The researcher recommends that MSM works closely with its planning and finance units to budget and clearly identify untapped local revenue sources. These will provide sources of local revenue that will be used to finance the education service delivery
Prophetic Medicine (Twibb Nabbawi) Principles in Clinical Practice
(International Journal of Human and Health Sciences DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.31344/ijhhs.v8i3.718, 2024-07-04) Naziru, Rashid
Prophetic medicine (Twibb Nabbawi) refers to the advice, the teachings and practices given by the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) regarding disease prevention and treatment as found in both the Quran and the hadith. These include preventive, promotive and therapeutics modalities. They range from hygiene and behavioral practices, dietary/nutritional practices as well as exercises among others.
Several countries especially in the middle east, far east, some countries in Europe and America have embarked on the reactivation, research and practice of this noble principles in enriching the medical knowledge as well as the clinical practice of prophetic medicine. This current paper presents the experiences of use and practice of prophetic medicine principles and teachings in Uganda. They also range from preventive, promotive and therapeutic modalities and varies from various health facilities and individual Muslim health professionals under the umbrella of the Islamic Medical Association of Uganda. (IMAU).
In conclusion, prophetic medicine is a critical component of clinical care practice that should be adopted for healthcare delivery. Healthcare professionals should adopt its practice to ensure holistic healthcare service delivery.
Uptake of Hepatitis B Treatment Eligibility Tests Among Hepatitis B Patients:
(Aquaint Publications, 2024-08-22) Naziru, Rashid; Mutaryebwa, Felix; Nakya, Joan,Mutyoba; Ssekamatte, Tonny; Aleku, Jerry; Acheng, Frances; Mubarak, Nasur
Background: Despite hepatitis B virus infection being a vaccine preventable liver disease, 257 million people are estimated to be chronically infected globally making it one of the commonest infections, causing more than 820,000 deaths annually worldwide. Uganda is one of the SSA that continues to be highly endemic with a prevalence of 4.3%, associated with poor clinical management of those infected.
Objectives: Assess factors associated with the uptake of recommended HBV treatment eligibility tests among hepatitis B Virus patients at\ Yumbe Regional Referral HospitaMethods:
Data was collected using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Chi square and modified Poisson regression analyses were undertaken to determine association of factors. 01 Focus Group Discussion and 04 Key Informant interviews were conducted to explore factors affecting the provision of recommended hepatitis B treatment eligibility tests. Data was analyzed using inductive thematic analysis.
Results: 1.01% of patients took all 4 tests and 26.6% received at least one test. Complete Blood Count was mostly consumed, 38.2% while Ultra Sound Scan was the least -7%, 7.5% patients were screened for HIV with 33.3% being HIV/HBV coinfected. 61.3% patients did not take any main test and 31.2% had a main test taken. Only 7.5% had both main tests. Uptake of main tests was associated with timing of tests (χ2 =94.9, P< 0.000), HIV/HBV coinfection (χ2 = 20.46, P<0.000), duration in care, (χ2=68.9, P<0.000), average distance to hospital (χ2 = 15.5,P<0.017). Timing of tests was the only factor statistically associated with uptake of main recommended tests (PR = 0.44, 95% CI 0.210 – 0.92).
Facilitators for provision of HBV tests included availability of commodities, HCWs’ knowledge of the treatment guidelines and good infrastructure while barriers were insufficient human resource, commodity stock outs and language barrier.
Conclusion: There was poor uptake of recommended tests by HBV patients at YRRH. Health Workers should endeavor to provide all recommended tests before HBV treatment initiation.
Nature inspired computational offloading in fog-cloud of things ecosystem for smart city applications
(Not published, 2024-07-05) Adam A . Alli; Alam Muhammad Mahbub; Yasin Magombe
Studies leading to optimization of resources and applications in the fog-cloud
of things ecosystems have gained importance. This is because these studies
form the basis upon which improved performance of Internet of Things(IoT)
infrastructure can be realized. In this study, we explore heuristic approach
that permits offloading to optimal offsite fog by developing modified dynamic
PSO(mDyPSO) mechanism. We compared our results with the traditional
simple PSO(SiPSO). Our simulation results show that mDyPSO out performs
SiPSO in terms of application latency, network usage and energy utilization. We
note that our mDyPSO offloading mechanism improves network performance up
to one third. We conclude that mDyPSO mechanism performs well in fluctuating
topology. This further proves that considering multiple computational
parameters to modify PSO yield better offloading Results.
Secure Fog-Cloud of Things Architectures, Opportunities and Challenges

The paradigm of the Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged due to recent advances in computer
hardware, software, embedded computing technologies, and communication together with
reduced costs and a drastic improvement in the performance of interacting devices. IoT has
become a formal means of connecting people, things, and information systems to the Internet
through cyber-physical devices. This has resulted in a new breed of systems that allow real-world
solutions to be implemented across countless Internet infrastructures and services such
as cities, health, and agriculture
