Nutritious and affordable sweetpotato based silage: The feed solution for small-scale pig farmers

This flyer describes the objectives, approach and achievements of ongoing research to develop innovative business models to promote and commercialize sweetpotato silage in Uganda (June 2014 - July 2015). This is expected to transform production and utilization of sweetpotato vines and roots to attenuate the constraint of livestock feed shortages

Is FDI the most important source of international technology transfer? Panel Data evidence from the UK

This study examines the different sources of international technology transfer to 205 UK industries in a panel running from 1979-1991. FDI is found to be more important than trade in the transfer of knowledge to UK industries. The estimated elasticities have a range; in the static model that looks at the long run relationship between FDI and value added the estimated elasticity is 0.24

Risk and Return on Uganda's stock exchange.

Using data from 2003-2007, we calculate the systematic risk and cost of equity for firms listed on USE; Preliminary estimates show that nominal Cost of equity capital reduced over time from 63.24 percent (January 2005 to January 2006) to 18% (February 2006 to March 2007). The efficient frontier shifted below in the period considered to suggest a general lowering of expected returns on portfolios, re-affirming the notion that stock markets lead to reduction in the cost of funds; and thus a viable option to bank finance that at the moment is considered prohibitive with annual percentage rates of between 20-25

A Comparative Analysis of Distribution and Allocation of Covid-19 Vaccines Between Two Administrations

The pandemic of COVID-19 is a life-threatening disease that entailed all governments but especially the U.S government, to quickly prevent methods of spreading the virus while strategically putting in place a plan for biological testing for a vaccine for immunity. The purpose was to determine how effective the formulation of a COVID-19 vaccine and the distribution would impact the mortality with efficacy rates. Besides, this research paper underlines the principles for ethical and equitable distribution for mass immunization. A comparative analysis between the Trump Administration and the Biden Administration will be presented regarding the funding stream, distribution of vaccinations, and prioritization efforts against morbidity and mortality. We will determine how the resources and funding were utilized to provide Covid-19 vaccines rapidly enough for mass immunization
