Helmet Use Among Commercial Motorcyclists: A Survey of Two Municipalities In Uganda
(South Asian Journal of Development Research, 2019)
There is a worldwide apprehension that present-day motor driving schools are not producing drivers with the kind of awareness and abilities that they need to be useful on the road. This inadequacy has placed growing stress ...
Corporate and Strategic Information Disclosure and Earnings Management: Evidence from Listed Firms at the Uganda Securities Exchange
(Journal of Finance and Economics, 2019)
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of corporate and strategic information disclosure on earnings management among listed firms at the Uganda Securities Exchange. We conduct our survey on a census of 9 ...
Using Advocacy to Enhance Green Municipalities in Uganda: A Study of Hoima Municipality
(South Asian Journal of Development Research,, 2019)
In 2017, after launching, by thefirst Deputy Prime Minister of Uganda Moses Ali along with the UNDP country Director Almaz Gebru, a new green growth development strategy, key green growth issues and evolution into a green ...
Football betting among the youths in Lira municipality: Will livelihoods improve?
(International Journal of Development and Sustainability, 2018)
Football betting is a complex and polarising issue in several urban centres in Uganda. This study explores the practice through a situation analysis of Lira Municipality, where a longitudinal study, incorporating three ...
Ecophysiological assessment of drought vulnerability of the African tropical tree species Maesopsis eminii Engl
(Ghent University, 2016)
Africa is endowed with the second largest block of nature-engineered machinery to
sequester carbon: forests. Sadly, the functional traits and responses of this machinery are poorly
understood, under non-drought, current ...
Forest resilience and tipping points at different spatio-temporal scales: approaches and challenges
(Journal of Ecology, 2015)
1. Anthropogenic global change compromises forest resilience, with profound impacts to ecosystem
functions and services. This synthesis paper reflects on the current understanding of forest resilience
and potential tipping ...
The ecology of Maesopsis eminii Engl. in tropical Africa
(African Journal of Ecology, 2017)
Maesopsis eminii is referred to as one of the most widely
distributed African tree species. However, its occurrence in
Africa has never been mapped and little is known as to
how this species can sustain in different ...
Drought Effects on Photosynthesis and Implications of Photoassimilate Distribution in 11C-Labeled Leaves in the African Tropical Tree Species Maesopsis eminii Engl.
(Forests, 2018)
Photoassimilate distribution inside leaves is less studied than photosynthesis, and yet
the topic is important as it gives insights into the vital roles played by leaves in plant survival.
We combined greenhouse measurements ...
Capacitive water release and internal leaf water relocation delay drought-induced cavitation in African Maesopsis eminii
(Tree physiology, 2017)
The impact of drought on the hydraulic functioning of important African tree species, like Maesopsis eminii Engl., is poorly understood.
To map the hydraulic response to drought-induced cavitation, sole reliance on the ...
Plant measurements on African tropical Maesopsis eminii seedlings contradict pioneering water use behaviour
(Environmental and Experimental Botany, 2017)
With increased drought events affecting forests globally, little is known about their future impact on
Africa’s forests. In particular, we need to gain a better understanding of how key African forest species
will respond ...
