B.J. JANSEN SOCIOLOGY OF DEVELOPMENT AND CHANGE [email protected] ABSTRACT The title of this research starts with ‘pushing the week’. This is the translation of the most eaten vegetable in Kenya and Kibera, a kale by the name of ‘sukuma wiki’ in Swahili. As this research progressed and life in Kibera was examined more closely, it seems that language around life and living in Kibera can be seen closely related to the name of this vegetable that is eaten almost every day. ‘We are just pushing ahead in life, another week, lets see where it takes us’. No matter what is written down about life in Kibera, another week starts, and another one, and another one… This research examines how women living in Kibera perceive improvement of life in Kibera. This topic is very dynamic, broad and has many ways in which it can be approached. It is impossible to merely ask some questions and draw conclusions about a space so dynamic and a population in all its diversity. As most slums worldwide, Kibera is a popular place for organisations to lend a helping hand, where community initiatives are plenty and where slum upgrading programs are implemented.

    Journal of Aquaculture Research & Development Research Article The Performance of Small And Large Leaf Plants In Aquaponics Bernard Kiwewa1*, Rosemary Nalwanga1, Charles K Twesigye1 Department of Aquaponics System, University of Kyambogo Biology, Hoima district-Uganda ABSTRACT Comparing the performance of small and large leaf plants in an aquaponics system was carried out to address the challenges faced by aquaponics farmers in Hoima district-Uganda. The methodology involved a 4 months running treatment at Kyambogo University Biology Department Aquaponics System (KYUBDAS) between 29th March and July 20th to resonate with the preliminary study of the challenges faced by aquaponics farmers in Hoima. The KYUBDAS investigation helped this study identify the performance of fish and plants (1) Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) (2) African catfish (Clarius gariepinus) and vegetables which included: (1) Coriander (Coriandrum sativa) (2) Kale/ Sukuma wiki (Brassica oleracea), (3) Spinach (Spinacia oleracea), and (4) Lettuce (Lectuca sativa) in a Recirculating fish Aquaculture System (RAS). Methods and materials included lab tests on samples of Sukuma wiiki (big leaf plants) and Coriander (small leaf plants) was done for differences in nutrient demands presence of Carbohydrates, proteins, moisture, dry and fresh weight at harvest. Data analysis was done using Minitab17 for quantitative data analysis. Results revealed that plants with small and simple leaves like coriander and lettuce take fewer days and effluent content to obtain maximum fresh
