Understanding Teacher Resilience Through the Lens of Professional Identity: Insights from Malaysia, Japan, Nigeria, Uganda, and Vietnam

Background Concerns about teacher stress, burnout, and attrition have led to increased international attention to teacher resilience in education research. This study investigates how teachers in Malaysia, Japan, Nigeria, Uganda, and Vietnam support resilience through their perce...

Nutrient profiles and labelling practices of marketed packaged processed and ultra-processed foods in Uganda

The consumption of processed and ultra-processed foods is increasing globally and has been associated with an increased risk of diet-related non-communicable diseases (NCDs), partly due to their adverse nutrient profiles. In Uganda, there is limited evidence on whether these prod...

Grouped discrete Hartley transform precoding for low-complexity PAPR reduction in ACO-OFDM visible light communication systems

Abstract The high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) remains one of the major challenges affecting asymmetrically clipped optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (ACO-OFDM) systems used in visible light communication (VLC). Although transform precoding techniques such...

Employee Perceptions of Human Resources Information Systems, Attitude, and Payroll Effectiveness in Uganda’s Public Service

Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) are central to payroll administration, yet payroll inefficiencies persist despite substantial investment in digital technologies. This study examined how employees’ perceptions of HRIS—perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use—and em...

Navigating Epistemological Tensions: A Critical Analysis of African Studies Discourses in Uganda

African Studies as an academic discipline is shaped by complex epistemological debates concerning the production of knowledge about Africa. Within Uganda, these discourses are situated within a post-colonial context, where institutional frameworks and scholarly practices negotiat...

An explainable hybrid of classical and quantum support vector machine models for maternal mental health risk prediction using multicountry data

Abstract Maternal mental health disorders remain a major public health problem, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, where limited mental health resources and inadequate screening systems lead to late diagnosis and intervention. Recent advances in artificial intellig...

Human resources training and development, value creation, and employee performance in the public service

This study examines the relationship between human resource training and development (HRTD), involving training (HRT) and employee development (EMD), and employee performance in Uganda’s public service, focusing on the mediating role of human resource value creation (HRVC), compr...

Prediction of delayed postgraduate graduation using machine learning in Ugandan higher education

Abstract Delayed postgraduate graduation is a major challenge to higher education institutions in Uganda in terms of student progression, institutional planning and human capital development. Identifying students at risk of delayed completion early can inform timely academic inte...

Multimedia fate and transport simulation for green synthesized zero valent iron nanoparticles using SimpleBox4nano

Green synthesized zero valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) are promoted as environmentally benign alternatives to chemically synthesized ones. Simulation models are used to predict nZVI transport and transformation during environmental remediation. The objective of this study was to...

What Really Drives People-first Public-private Partnerships Adoption? Evidence From Resource-constrained Settings

Abstract This study examines the factors influencing the adoption of People-First Evaluation Methodology (PFEM) in Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) operating within resource-constrained contexts. Using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling applied to survey data, t...

Painting as Identity Reconstruction: Socially Concerned Art and Batwa Material Culture

In Southwestern Uganda, material culture of the Batwa pygmies has been overtly manifested in a number of ways through painterly narratives produced by Edward Kamugisha to record images defining their collective identity. In this article, the discussion is centred on some of the s...

2D-unsteady chaotic flows for mixing two different non-Newtonian fluids: optimization and flow control

Mixing of non-Newtonian fluids has been widely studied, yet numerical investigations of the simultaneous mixing of two different shear-thinning fluids inside chaotic mixers remain limited. In this work, we numerically investigate, for the first time, the mixing of two shear-thinn...
