This study looks into what causes financial crises in Ugandan homes, concentrating on the effects of education level, kind of job, and sex of family head. The study's goals are to investigate the connection between these independent variables and the development of financial crises and to shed light on the precise functions played by each component in ensuring the monetary health of households. The study uses a mixed-methods methodology that combines quantitative analysis with a sample of 100 participants, a review of the pertinent literature, and a sample of one hundred participants. To analyze the relationships between parameters, the data analysis uses logistic regression, correlation analysis, descriptive statistics, and bivariate analysis. The study's conclusions show a strong correlation between financial crises and household characteristics in Uganda, including education level, kind of profession, sex of the household's head, and profession. Financial crises are found to be less likely to occur in countries with higher education levels. Economic security is aided by stable jobs, but households led by women are more susceptible to financial crises than are families headed by men. These findings are in line with the body of research that emphasizes the value of financial knowledge, job stability, and empowerment of women in fostering household resilience to financial stress. The study's findings highlight the need for focused initiatives to lessen the frequency and severity of financial emergencies in Uganda, including improved financial education programs, higher job stability, and genderresearch.miu.ac.ug/publications 1815 METROPOLITAN JOURNAL OF BUSINESS & ECONOMICS (MJBE) ISSN 1813-4238 Vol. 2 Issue 3, June - 2023, Pages: 1815-1836 inclusive regulations.

Discovering out whether Domestic Violence and Family Welfare were associated in Kihihi Sub-County, Kanungu District, was the main goal of this study. Other goals were to determine the prevalence of domestic abuse in the Kihihi sub-county and the quality of family happiness among farmhouses there. The study used both quantitative and qualitative methodology, and the solvin's formula was used to calculate a sample size of eighty participants in the Kihihi sub-county utilizing simple random chance sampling and purposeful sampling procedures. In order to gather information from respondents about the connection between violence against women and family welfare in Kihihi sub-county, Kanungu District, the investigator used questionnaires as well as interview outlines. The study's sample included 40 parents, 38 crime preventers, the LC1 chairperson, and the officer in charge of the Kanungu police station (OC). Since the maximum level of importance necessary to declare a significant connection between violence against women and family welfare is 0.01, the investigators discovered that there is an extremely strong positive connection between domestic violence and household welfare at r = 0.741. This suggests that the severity associated with domestic violence has a significant impact on the level of family a responsibility in the family. The low family welfare among homesteads headed by females is also attributed to over depending on the mother in the family, the woman cannot meet all the required basic needs in the family, leading to low family welfare and high levels of domestic violence.

The study aimed at establishing the influence of road network on the development of agricultural activities in Uganda with a case study of Buhehe district and it was guided by the following objectives; to examine the factors hindering agricultural activities in Busia district, to assess the nature of financial and government support which can be rendered to support farmers in Busia district and to analyze the challenges encountered by farmers when starting agribusinesses in Busia district. Although all the farmers wish to expand their market, only 66.7% of farmers supported the notion of forming partnerships with other people and entrepreneurs. Due to various reasons, a total of 33.3% farmers were against the establishment of partnerships. Their reasons vary from bad past experiences with partnerships or co-operatives, to witnessing challenges encountered by others and failure of other partnership initiatives. The study revealed that the small scale-farmers in this region were affected and limited by poor road infrastructure and that access to suitable water for irrigation was far from ideal. As a result, the sector did not perform to its full potential and this hinders economic development. Suitable and appropriate recommendations have been made to address the shortcomings identified in this research.

The major objective of this study lied in finding out whether there was a relationship between Human Trafficking and Law Enforcement Mechanisms in Makindye Division. Other objectives included: To find out the level of Human Trafficking practice in Makindye Division, Uganda and to find out the extent at which the Law Enforcement Mechanisms implemented in Makindye Division, Uganda. The study adopted a descriptive and observational research design and simple random probability sampling technique were used to obtain a sample size 80 respondents of from Makindye Division using solvin’s formula. Microsoft Excel was used to analyze the data, and graphs, distribution of frequencies tables, and pie charts were used to illustrate the results. The study's data were analyzed using SPSS software. The results showed an extremely strong positive correlation among the trafficking of people and the enforcement the processes at r = 0.994, and since the sig. value (.000) was much lower than 0.01, the threshold for declaring a statistically significant connection between human transporting and law enforcement mechanisms, this indicates that if the level of human transporting is high, the level of law implementation mechanisms is also high, and if the level of human trafficking is low, the level of law enforcement the processes is also low. According to the investigator, the authorities should enact strict rules against human trafficking, and all security institutions in Uganda, including the army (UPDF), must carry out these laws. The investigator advises residents to only work with licensed recruiting firms that are authorized to help Ugandans find jobs abroad. These firms must additionally maintain track of the people they represent. research.miu.ac.ug/publications 1113 METROPOLITAN JOURNAL OF SOCIAL AND EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH ISSN: 1813-4270 Vol. 2 Issue 3, June - 2023, Pages: 1113-1129

The main aim of this study was to find out whether manure has an effect on crop production in Kisoro Municipality Northern Division Kisoro District. A simple (random) chance sampling strategy was used to choose a sample size of 341 respondents from the intended population of 3000 participants for the study. It used a combination of a descriptive and empirical methodology. 212 males and 129 females made up the sample. This was due to the fact that for every garden dimension provided by those who participated, it was demonstrated that at least 10 sacks of Irish potatoes could be gathered when manure was applied, as opposed to only 5 sacks when it wasn't. Participants argued, however, that the aforementioned assessments were reliant on environmental variables including the fertility of the soil and weather variations. Since the highest amount of importance required to declare an important connection between manure and agricultural output was 0.01, the results showed a substantial positive correlation between manure and crop manufacturing at r = 0. 705; this implied that when the level of fertilizer usage was high, the level of crop manufacturing was also high, and when the level of manure usage was low, the level of crop goods. There was a need to design effective manure handling and storage systems that reduce loss of nutrients after excretion and during composting, and to explore the viability of community-based manure collection initiatives at the farm level where manure transportation costs are shared and hence minimized and finally farmers should capture urine, as it assists in decomposition of the waste heap.

The major objective of this study lied in finding out whether there was a relationship between Mining and infrastructure development in Mubende municipality, Mubende district. Other objectives included: to find out the extent of mineral extraction in Mubende municipality, Mubende district and to find out the level infrastructure development in Mubende municipality Mubende district. In order to obtain a sample size of 56 participants from Mubende Municipality using Solvin's calculation, the study used a descriptive and empirical methodology. In Mubende municipality, data were gathered from participants using surveys and interviews guides. Of those who participated, 11 were farmers, 33 were miners, 8 were investors, one was the LCI Chairperson, and one was the district organizing officer. Microsoft Excel was used to analyze the data, and graphs, frequency distribution tables of information, and pie charts were used to illustrate the results. The study's data were analyzed using SPSS software. The investigator came to the conclusion regarding this objective based on the results that there is a greater level of mineral extraction (74.0%), which is caused by a number of factors including a strong demand for plentiful substances like gold and trained labor supplied by the young population. The development of infrastructure and mining have a strong positive association. The researcher came to the conclusion that the high degree of mineral extraction observed in the study area put public pressure on the government to upgrade the area's network. To fully and efficiently carry out mining tasks, the investigator advises the miners to adopt some advanced mining techniques as well.

Overtime, operational effectiveness of multinational corporations in Juba has been in the spot light with some institutions making losses while others showing signs of inefficiency in their operations. Thus, a study was carried to examine the relationship between political risk management, institutional quality and operational effectiveness of multinational corporations in Juba, South Sudan. The study had three objectives: to examine the relationship between political risk management and operational effectiveness, to identify the relationship between institutional quality and operational effectiveness as well as to assess the combined effect of political risk management and institutional quality on operational effectiveness of multinational corporations in Juba, South Sudan. The study results revealed that there is a statistically significant positive relationship between political risk management and operational effectiveness as well as institutional quality and operational effectiveness among multinational corporations. More so, the findings revealed that both political risk management and institutional quality were significant predictors of operational effectiveness. Based on the findings, the study recommended that multinational corporations should put in place an effective political risk management mechanism to ensure sound operational effectiveness and this can be done through strategies such as buying insurance schemes as a cover up for risky areas, forming joint ventures with host governments as well as exiting markets that are too risky. research.miu.ac.ug/publications 1555 METROPOLITAN JOURNAL OF BUSINESS & ECONOMICS (MJBE) ISSN 1813-4238 Vol. 2 Issue 3, June - 2023, Pages: 1555-1565

The main goal of this study was to determine whether environmental conservation and pollution were related in the Kisoro municipality. Other goals included determining the amount of safeguarding the environment in the Kisoro municipality and the degree of pollution there. Using Solvin's method, a sample size of forty-four participants from the intended sample of fifty people who live in the Kisoro municipality was obtained for the study using a simple random sampling with probability technique. There were twenty surveys for farmers, 22 for residents, one for the LCI Chairperson, and one for the district used to gather information from participants about the connection between pollution and environmental conservation. Both structured and semistructured surveys were used. From the findings, there was a very strong positive relationship between pollution and environmental conservation at r = 0.775 and since the sig. value (.000) was far less than 0.01, which is the maximum level of significance required declaring a significant relationship between pollution and environmental conservation, this implies that the level of pollution greatly affects the rate of environmental conservation. The study came to the conclusion that the area's high level of industrialization and contaminants from farmhouses were to blame for the pollution. The investigator came to the additional conclusion that human activities like deforestation, bush burning, marsh reclamation, and inadequate sewage disposal contributed to the minimal amount of environmental protection in the Kisoro municipality. The investigator came to the conclusion that in the Kisoro district, pollution and environmental preservation are positively correlated. This was due to the research.miu.ac.ug/publications 1420 METROPOLITAN JOURNAL OF BUSINESS & ECONOMICS (MJBE) ISSN 1813-4238 Vol. 2 Issue 3, June - 2023, Pages: 1420-1435 fact that the degree of sustainability preservation is significantly influenced by the level of pollution in the area. The researcher recommended the government to carry out enough sensitization of people about the importance of environmental conservation.

In Uganda, Visual Art is done by Normal Artists without disability worldwide, in Uganda the development of Visual Art by persons with disability has not been a smooth stream. Disabled Artists have played a very big role in the development of Traditional, Modern and Contemporary Art. As development takes place, disabled artists have been excluded in the mainstream of documentation of visual art practice in Uganda and their work is not accepted like those of the predecessors who are normal yet it is at the same stake. Findings show that a big percentage of the Disabled Artists (up-coming) practicing Visual Arts are not adequately documented. The researcher therefore had to explore and produce paintings inspired by the upcoming unprivileged Disabled Artists so that they can be inspired with selfidentity that Disability is not Inability and aspire to inspire in the mainstream practice of Visual Art in Uganda and the world at large. Three research questions were posed, I investigated the questions through a vivid ethnographic account using both primary and secondary sources. Through questionnaire, field notes, one on one interviews and observations with people that mattered as far as this research was concerned. Secondary data was collected through literary sources, such as books, journals, research papers, newspapers and the internet.
