본 연구는 우간다의 루웨로 지역 여성 청소년을 대상으로 성생식보건 교육의 수요, 접근장벽, 제약을 파악하기 위해 수행되었다. 루웨로 지역의 14-26세 젊은 여성 55명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하고 교사, 의료인력 등 40명의 이해관계자를 대상으로 면담을 진행하였다. 연구 결과, 응답자 대부분은 성생식보건 정보를 학교를 통해 얻는 것으로 답하였으며(87%) 의료기관에서 성생식보건 서비스를 받기를 선호하였다(58%). 응답자들의 절반 이상은 자원 부족이나 문화적 장벽으로 성생식보건 정보를 얻는데 어려움을 경험하였고 학교와 의료기관이 보건 정보를 제공하는 가장 중요한 장소라는 점을 강조하였다. 따라서 여성 청소년의 성생식보건 교육 접근성을 높이기 위해 학교와 의료기관의 협력이 요구된다.

The artificial insemination (AI) is one of the best assisted reproductive technologies for increasing reproductive capacity and facilitating the genetic improvement in farm animals. AI has been used in Uganda for over 60 years, but a small population of the total herd has been used. This study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of AI with estrus synchronization technique and to propose ways of improving the productivity of dairy farms through AI services in Uganda. In total, 78 cows from 11 dairy farms were selected for timed-AI. Synchronization was performed according to the ovsynch programs followed by AI using frozen semen from Korean Holstein (0.5 ml straws). Pregnancy rate was varying among farms (0-50%) and the overall pregnancy rate was 28.2%. Cows in luteal phase at the time of treatment was 40.0% whereas that in follicular phase was 20.8%. After treatment, cows that showed normal estrus signal were 45.5% (25/55). Abnormal estrus was categorized into pre-estrus (9.1%), cystic ovaries (21.8%), anestrus (18.2%) and delayed ovulation (5.5%), respectively. These results imply that an assured protocol for timed-AI should be developed to improve the productivity of dairy farms through AI services in Uganda.

Purpose: The research is a descriptive study to identify the correlations among perceived health status, self-esteem, and personality and to determine the influencing factors of perceived health status in high school students who live in Uganda. Methods: Data were collected using a questionnaire from February to May 2014. The participants were 300 students in three high schools in Uganda. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, one way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and stepwise regression analysis using SPSS 21.0. Results: The scale mean scores (4 scale) for perceived health status, self-esteem, extraversion, neuroticism, psychoticism, and lie, the last four being the types of personality covered in the study, were $2.27{\pm}0.37$, $2.27{\pm}0.31$, $2.13{\pm}0.33$, $2.55{\pm}0.41$, $2.36{\pm}0.27$, and $2.20{\pm}0.34$, respectively. The variables that showed positive correlations with perceived health status were self-esteem and extraversion and the ones that showed negative correlations with perceived health status were neuroticism, psychoticism, and lie. Self-esteem, extraversion, and neuroticism were proved to be major influencing factors affecting perceived health status. Conclusion: These results may be used as supporting data when developing health education programs to improve the health of Ugandan adolescents.

Objectives: Away-from-home (AFH) eating has been associated with poor diet quality and health outcomes like obesity in developed countries. AFH eating is also emerging in low-income countries, but its influence on overall diet quality is under-researched. We examined the prevalence of AFH eating and its influence on the dietary patterns of Ugandan adults. Methods: This cross-sectional study employed a web-based survey to interview Ugandan adults aged 18 ~ 65 years. A qualitative food frequency questionnaire was used to assess the food group intake, which was then converted into daily intake frequencies. Principal component analysis was used to derive dietary patterns. The participants were then classified based on the tertiles (T) of dietary pattern scores. Results: About 75% of the 375 participants reported eating AFH. The young men, food insecure, and urban dwellers were more likely to eat AFH ≥ 5 times/week. Three dietary patterns emerged; the animal-based, beverage pattern; the high fat, sweet pattern; and the traditional, plant-based pattern. Participants who frequently ate AFH were 2.85 times and 5.64 times more likely to be in the second and third tertiles, respectively, of the animal-based, beverage pattern compared to the rare eaters (OR = 2.85, 95% CI: 1.35-6.06 for T2 vs T1; and OR = 5.64, 95% CI: 2.50-12.73 for T3 vs T1). The odds of being in the second tertile of the high fat, sweet pattern was significantly higher for frequent AFH eaters compared to the rare eaters (OR = 2.61, 95% CI:1.23-5.52). Conclusions: The prevalence of AFH eating was high. Frequent AFH eating was common among the young, male, food insecure, and urban dwellers, and was associated with unhealthy dietary patterns.

As globalization, international cooperation has grown in importance. In accordance with this trend, Korea has been receiving high demands from international organizations about expanding the scale of Official Development Assistance(ODA) in line with its improved national status. In addition, in the economic aspect of Korea, the ODA project is expected to provide new growth opportunities in the mid- to long-term by promoting cooperation with developing countries. Uganda is an area with high strategic value due to good agricultural conditions and favorable geographical conditions. The poultry industry is a business that is generally carried out to the Ugandan, but due to economic problems such as initial investment cost, most of them have raised poultry on a small scale which is not enough for main income. This paper proposes the construction and operation plan of adapting to small poultry farms in the village-intensive type to sustainable income for residents in Uganda through ODA project in Korea's agricultural technology. The economic feasibility was analyzed from the long-term perspective when the initial construction cost was supported or not and the poultry species ratio was adjusted in terms of initial and operating costs. Economic analysis was performed using Net Present Value(NPV) method. As of after 10 years, when operating in the form of shifting kuroiler to layers, it was estimated to earn about 700,000 ugx more than when only kuroiler is raised, and it is able to reduce about 14 million ugx from the initial cost than when only raising layers. As of 20 years, the most profitables scenario was the breeding of 100 kuroilers and 400 layers methods. however, this case was anlayzed to be unsuitable for Uganda farmers, with initial costs more than three times higher than the shifting method of the kuroiler to layers. If the initial construction cost is supported by ODA project, the initial investment cost can be recovered in the first year with the shifting method, whereas raising only layers take two years to recoup the cost. In the meantime, when studying livestock industry in Uganda, it was examined by relying on statistical data, but this paper is meaningful in that it predicted how much it is economically effective based on field experience.
