This paper looks at the content of Uganda government education policy and critiques the extent to which it has enabled the learner to acquire skills and value systems necessary to create solutions for present and future problems, and ultimately, live happy lives. The paper analyses the full scope of education sector, starting from pre-primary and primary, through secondary, university, vocational and professional education, to job training and adult education policies.
The article examines the legal, institutional and policy framework regulating relationship between business corporations and indigenous peoples in the mining sector in Uganda. The article analyses of the international legal regime, national laws, policies and institutions, and the practice of local mining companies. The article also reviewed documents, articles journals, and articles, and analyzed the results. The article finds that the constitution provides for protection of indigenous peoples rights. In Uganda, the number of transnational corporations engaging in resource exploitation is rising they have to begin implementing standards of social responsibility within their projects. The government, however, does not have statutory promulgations, or institutions with the specific mandate for protecting indigenous peoples in the oil and gas producing areas. The article finds that international rules oblige the state to protect indigenous peoples against potential exploitation by corporations. Further, it is found that the scale and scope of resource exploration and exploitation of indigenous peoples’ lands and territories affects indigenous peoples and their communities. The article recommends that governments utilize international standards to guarantee the rights of indigenous peoples at a national level. The article concludes that, without prior mitigation measures, the worst in forms of human rights abuses to indigenous communities in Uganda’s oil and gas productions areas is likely to unfold.
If I lower myself to fight with an individual, I become an individual; and individuals can neither change nor save the world. The world needs ideas, the world needs movements. …………………………………………………………………… This book is about an idea, an idea called Raila; not a mortal earthling so named. This book is about either changing that idea; or changing that idea.

E-Mail: john.sharkey@ntc.ie Peripheral neuropathies can have a plethora of origins including physical insults resulting from connective tissue compression and entrapment. Observational investigations, using biotensegrity focused dissections, have identified site-specific fascial structures that are hypothesised to afford integrity to neurovascular structuresby providing appropriate tension and compression. These myofascial structures act as site-specific fascia tuning pegs. While these ‘tuning pegs’ are capable of having a whole body impact, this paper will look specifically at the local influences on pelvis and lower limb. The analogy of a fascia ‘tuning peg’, similar to the tuning peg of a string instrument, is adoptedto help explain this unfamiliar concept. An ‘out of tune’ fascial system would lea...

Ambient intelligent framework for modelling critical medical events based on context awarenessWith the rapid pace of communication technology, the modern communication system still encounters challenges in meeting the dynamic requirements of users. Facilitating emergency services for patients without a caretaker side by is quite challenging. This work contributes a solution towards state-of-the-art research problems by introducing a novel architecture using collaboration, coordination and user activity detection using contextual information. A prototype is built and experiment is carried out to emphasize the importance of real-time activity-based context awareness in ambient intelligence (AmI) applications. The primary contributions of this work are introduction of novel architecture and usage of both static and dynamic activity-based contextual parameters. The secondary contribution of this model is to integrate ambient intelligence with context awareness to offer higher accuracy in determining the critical condition of a patient. Initially, analytical models are built using the context-based attributes that consider both clinical and non-clinical entities based on the minimal and essential vital information of patient. This paper further discusses the experimental model, which is highly cost-efficient both from an operational and usage viewpoint. Different assessment environments have been used for assessing the performance of the model.
