Item Online Crime Records Management System Case Study: Mbale Central Police Station(Busitema University, 2023) Kirenzi JumaThe development of Crime Records Management Systems can be traced back to the early 1980s when computer technology began to be used more widely in law enforcement. At that time, many police departments still relied on paper-based record-keeping systems, which were inefficient and often prone to errors. Online Crime Records Management System is any combination of information technology and people's activities that enable law enforcement agencies to store, retrieve, retain, archive, and view information, records, or files about law enforcement operations (Beynon-Davies,2009). These tools automate vital processes that enhance day-to-day operations, and support operations, management, and decision-making. The methods of detection employed are dictated by the nature of the crime and the procedures permitted by the legal system (Nicole, 2009). The main objective of this study is to develop a web-based Crime Records Management System. The methodologies used in the project include Structured System Analysis (SSAD) which was used for analysis and designing of the system as well as RAD (Rapid Application Development) (RAD) Model which focuses on rapid prototyping and quick feedback with less emphasis on specific planning. MySQL which is an open-source relational database management system was used during the system development, and HTML and CSS as markup languages were also used for the general structuring and styling of the web pages. Visual Studio Code was used as the main text editor which enabled the researcher to write the dynamically generated pages easily and very quickly, and the web browsers such as Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome were also used to display web pages and access the Xampp server. In conclusion, the Online Crime Records Management System is a valuable tool for law enforcement agencies as it allows a comprehensive and efficient way for the storage, management, and retrieval of information related to criminal activities in order to overcome the challenges associated with the manualbased crime records management system. It enables police officers and other users to quickly access critical information, which can help them solve crimes faster and more efficiently.Item Banks urged to support dairy farms(The Observer, 2026-01-04) Nsubuga TimothyExperts from the Ministry of water and environment and Heifer International have called upon banks to accord dairy cooperatives affordable interest rate so that they can access water infrastructure solutions.Item Medics fleece patients as cancer machine breaks down(Daily monitor, 2018-06-07) Namagembe Lilian and Atukunda NobertKAMPALA: Patients at the Uganda Cancer institute (UCI) are in tears for lack of medical care due to the breakdown of the radiotherapy machine and wanton extortion by medical officer who charge excessive excessive illegal fees before dispensing drugs or treatment.

The money collected caters for the infrastructural development. According to the Act, every property owner is required to pay 5 percent of the money they collect from the building after expenses on bills such as water, electricity and wages. Currently, property rate in rerspect of properties located within the city are computed at a rate of 6 percent of the ratable value of the property and are payable once in a financial year.Item Reusable pads: An option for keeping girls in school.(Daily Monitor, 2018-01-22) Beatrice NakibuukaMenstration is a big issue affeting many school going girls causing some to drop out of school in worst case scenarios.Item How to control food poisoning(Daily Monitor, 2018-02-26) Beatrice NakibuukaFood poisoning is majorly caused by improper and unhygienic handling of food which can bread and spread harmful bacteria leading to stomachaches. diarrhoea and Vomiting.Item Sugarcane growers ordered off Wetlands(Daily Monitor, 2018-02-21) Abubaker KirundaMayuge district authorities have banned growing of sugarcane in wetlands.

The approach included characterizing soil samples using sieve analysis to assess soil particle size distribution, moisture content tests, and maximum dry density evaluations to determine the best achievable compaction characteristics. These tested samples were taken from a total of three different soil samples that were prepared with different concentrations of cement (0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 percent) to determine the influence of the cement proportion on the blocks’ strength and durability. The blocks were compacted and cured for a duration of 7,14 and 28 days, then they underwent compressive strength testing using a Universal Testing Machine (UTM) and water absorption measurement for durability. The data was analyzed to find the most beneficial cement-soil ratio that would achieve maximum strength while remaining within economical limits. The results showed the possibility of CSRE blocks being used as a construction material that is cost-effective while being mechanically reliable.Item Kadaga calls for upgrades at Busitema University(New Vision, 2025) Hajusu, EgessaKadaga calls for upgrades at Busitema UniversityItem Reviewed Busitema University examinations rules & regulations.(Busitema University, 2021-03) Busitema University Council; Busitema University Academic Registrar; Directorate of Graduate Studies, Research and Innovation; Deputy Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs; University SecretaryReviewed Busitema University examinations rules & regulations.
