Abstract Water as it flows through a town is continuously affected and changed by social relations of power and vice-versa. In the course of its flow, it always benefits some, while depriving, or even in some cases harming others. The issues concerning distribution of water are closely intertwined with the distribution of risks, at the crux of which are questions related to how decisions related to water allocation and distribution are made.

  • Prevalence and Correlates of Alzheimer's Disease and Related
    Mubangizi et al. BMC Geriatrics (2020) 20:48 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12877-020-1461-z RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Prevalence and correlates of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias in rural Uganda: cross-sectional, population-based study Vincent Mubangizi1* , Samuel Maling1, Celestino Obua1 and Alexander C. Tsai1,2 Abstract Background: There is a paucity of data on the prevalence and correlates of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias in sub-Saharan Africa. The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence and correlates of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias in rural Uganda. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, population-based study in a rural region of southwestern Uganda. The Brief Community Screening Instrument for Dementia was administered to a multi-stage area probability sample of 400 people aged 60 years and over. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate correlates of probable dementia. Results: Overall, 80 (20%) of the sample screened positive for dementia. On multivariable regression, we estimated the following correlates of probable dementia: age (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.02 per year; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.10–1.03, p<0.001), having some formal education (AOR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.41–0.81, p = 0.001), exercise (AOR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.27–0.72, p = 0.001), and having a ventilated kitchen (AOR, 0.43; (95% CI, 0.24–0.77, p =0.001). Conclusions: In this population-based sample of older-age adults in rural Uganda, nearly one-fifth screened positive for dementia. Keywords: Alzheimer’s disease, Dementia, Sub-Saharan Africa, Uganda Background psychological factors, infectious diseases, genetic factors, Alzheimer’s disease, other dementias, and non- and carbon monoxide poisoning.

The study relates the present patterns and organization of elementary and secondary level educational provision to the existing and projected population distribution. Population density is seen as a crucial variable affecting the choice of strategy for the development of the school map. Basic techniques of locational analysis are used to suggest a policy for expanding the elementary level system and to identify suitable locations for new secondary level schools.

To appraise the burden of typhoid in regional febrile illnesses, this laboratory based retrospective analytical study was undertaken to outline the distribution of community acquired typhoid fever among febrile patients attending clinics in Bushenyi, Uganda. Methods: After ethical approval and with standard methods, six hundred and eighty seven data-files (311 from males and 376 from females) of recruited febrile, typhoid positive hospital attendees in Bushenyi were analyzed with particular attention to socio-demographic impact on typhoid distribution. Results: From the age bracket 10-19 years, males, with 36.6% typhoid, attending Bushenyi Medical center and females, with 33.8% typhoid attending Comboni hospital had the highest typhoid distribution in this survey. Other results include males: 10-19years and above 60 years old from Comboni hospital with 28.6% and 22.2% typhoid distribution, including 24.6% typhoid distribution shown among males 20-29years old attending Ishaka Adventist Hospital.

Abstract The sanitation ladder has been advocated as a measure of sanitation progress by the World Health Organization and Joint Monitoring Program. This teleological narrative portrays the ascension process as unilinear with everyone eventually connected to a water borne system. However, infrastructure is not linear. To the contrary, infrastructure is a process with setbacks and intermittency. A community can lose its infrastructure due to migration war, extreme weather conditions, lack of maintenance or/and inability to pay for services.

  • Bushenyi DLG Statistical Abstract FY 2020-21.Pdf
    0Educ FOREWORD The importance of statistics in informing planning and monitoring of government programmes cannot be over emphasized. We need to know where we are, determine where we want to reach and also know whether we have reached there. The monitoring of socio-economic progress is not possible without measuring how we progress and establishing whether human, financial and other resources are being used efficiently. However, these statistics have in many occasions been national in outlook and less district specific. The development of a district-based Statistical Abstract shall go a long way to solve this gap and provide district tailored statistics and will reflect the peculiar nature of the district by looking at specific statistics whichSHEEMA would not be possible DISTRICT to provide at a higher LOCAL level. GOVERNMENT BUSHENYI DISTRICT LOCAL GOVERNMENT- Data and statistics are required for designing, planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating development programmes. For instance,Statistical Budgetstatistics on schoolConference Abstract enrolment, completion Presentation for ratesFY and 20 dropout 20for rates/20 among21 others are vital in the monitoring of Universal Primary Education (UPE)FY 2017/2018and Universal Secon dary Education (USE) programmes. Statistics are also needed for establishing grant aid to community schools, staff levels and other investments in the education programmes. The collection and use of statistics and performanceHeld at indicators is critical for both the successful management and operation of the sectors, includingThe Lower District Local Governments. Headquarters For data to inform planning and service delivery it should be effectively disseminated to the various users andon stakeholders. The initiative to compile this District Statistical Abstract is therefore an effort to support the Planning function of the Local Governments and other users interested in the th Higher Local Government (HLG) statistics.
