Received 17 June, 2019; Accepted 13 August, 2019 Soil nematode faunal analysis is necessary to ascertain the health status of the soil ecosystem. Composite soil samples were taken at designated sites; A, B, C and D from the Makerere Hill area, Kampala and analyzed to characterize the nematode fauna status. Soil samples were collected vertically at 0-5 cm, 5-10 cm and 10-15 cm core depths with a 5 cm wide soil auger. A total of 7,900 nematodes were collected from the study out of which 1,720 (21.8%) nematodes came from 0-5 cm core depth, 5,270 (66.7) from 5-10 cm core depth and 910 (11.52) from the 10-15 cm core depth. Species diversity showed nine orders of nematodes comprising twenty four families and forty nine species. -
Gender Analysis of Urban Agriculture in Kampala, Uganda
Gender Analysis of Urban Agriculture in Kampala, Uganda Urban agriculture in Kampala City takes place The major potential health hazards on undeveloped land associated with urban agriculture have been classified as physical, chemical, including institutional and biological and psychosocial (Cole et al., mailo (privately owned) 2003). The physical hazards may include injury from sharp objects such as broken land, but also on risky bottles and needles in waste dumps. areas like former waste- Chemical hazards involve exposure through contact of chemicals with the skin, dumping sites, scrap inhalation of dust from contaminated soil yards, wetlands and or gaseous emissions and through ingestion of food crops contaminated with toxic roadsides. waste from soil and wastewater. Psychosocial hazards may arise from insecurity due to unclear land tenure, loss of farmland, fear of theft and violence or overload due to long hours of work. Biological hazards may be due to parasitic worms, bacteria and vector-borne diseases, such as malaria parasites hosted by certain food crops with life cycles in humans and other media. This paper focuses mainly on crop production in areas that are receiving solid or liquid waste in urban and periurban areas of Kampala City. Women grow food crops that fetch lower prices.

Mpererwe Benefits from Neighbours by JOHN MASABA
44 SATURDAY VISION, February 8, 2014 HOMES & CONSTRUCTION Mpererwe benefits from neighbours BY JOHN MASABA NTIL you mention its neighbouring suburbs, Kasangati and Gayaza, one would be hard-pressed to find people on the streets of UKampala who know the location of Mpererwe. It is a suburb living in the shadows of its neighbours. But there is a lot that sets it apart. Mpererwe is cleaner and more orderly. There are plenty of rubbish skips in the town. A hot midday sun is nothing to worry about because there is a constant cool breeze that keeps sweeping across. It is perhaps due to the trees that still stand tall in Mpererwe town, despite the numerous houses. Found on the Kampala–Gayaza Road, Mper- erwe is the third major trading centre after, Ka- lerwe, Kyebando and Kanyanya. It is bordered by Katalemwa, in Wakiso district, to the north; Kisaasi to the east, Kanyanya to the south and Kawempe to the west. The suburb is located in the confluence of the Lusanja-Kiteezi, Mwaze-Gayaza and Kampala- Foodstuffs are cheaper in Mpererwe than other city suburbs. Pictures by John Masaba Gayaza roads.

This study explored the lived experiences of pregnancy among women with sickle cell disease receiving care at Mulago National Referral Hospital. Methods This was a qualitative phenomenological study conducted on 15 participants who were women with sickle cell disease with the experience of pregnancy. In-depth audio recorded interviews were conducted to collect data from women who were pregnant at time of study or had ever been pregnant aged 16 to 38 years of age with sickle cell disease. Recorded data was transcribed and analyzed using content thematic approach. Results This study revealed that pregnant women with sickle cell disease faced both negative and positive health care experiences and individual lived experiences of pregnancy. The few positive individual lived experiences were joy of motherhood and giving birth to child free of sickle cell disease whereas the negative individual lived experiences reported were recurrent painful crises, pregnancy loss, premature delivery, stigma and discouragement, relationship discord and desertion by spouse. -
