Abstract:
Purpose Libraries globally automate their operations and services using integrated library systems (ILS) to increase operational efficiency and meet the ever-evolving demands of their users. Open source ILS (OS ILS) has become more popular globally. The purpose of this paper is to better understand the diffusion of OS ILS in academic libraries in Uganda. Design/methodology/approach Rogers’ diffusion of innovation (DoI) supplemented by the fit-viability theory was used as a theoretical framework. A questionnaire was developed based on extant literature and distributed electronically to representative members of a Ugandan university library association. Findings The diffusion of OS ILS in Ugandan academic libraries approximates the S-curve expected based on DoI. Ugandan academic libraries are adopting OS ILS for more flexibility to meet changing needs at what is perceived as an affordable cost but not all are fully satisfied. Koha is the most adopted OS ILS and is also being considered by all libraries without any ILS or a proprietary ILS. The information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure, organizational procurement policies and national procurement legislation, human resource capacity and limited finances are barriers to diffusion. The total cost of ownership and technical skills required are of particular concern for OS ILS. Research limitations/implications The research was limited to a single African country and the recommendations may not be transferable to other African countries. Future research can expand the survey, the countries studied and/or address the methodological limitations of this study. Practical implications When embarking upon library automation using OS ILS or migrating to an OS ILS solution libraries should consider their ICT infrastructure, local support community, available training and be realistic about the costs. Local library associations should provide guidance on OS ILS selection, ongoing training, and opportunities for knowledge sharing. LIS schools should consider expanding their curriculum to include library automation and, in Uganda incorporate training on Koha as OS ILS. Libraries and library associations should advocate to reduce restrictive organizational procurement policies and national procurement legislation. Originality/value Studies on country-level diffusion of ILS are comparatively few, particularly in African countries. This is the first country-level study of OS ILS diffusion in Uganda. This study can positively impact future patterns of diffusion for optimal deployment of OS ILS software by informing academic libraries, university management, library association, LIS schools, and policymakers in Uganda and across the African continent, and encouraging academics and researchers to teach and study library automation using OS ILS.

Abstract:
Different English software products are localized into many native languages spoken around the world, the most popular software products localized so far are word processing software and web browsers. The effort has begun to localize these software products in Kiswahili language which is widely spoken in Tanzania, East and Central Africa. Kiswahiliis an official language of Tanzania, and is a national language in Uganda and Kenya. To make these software products useful to Kiswahili speaking community particularly in Tanzania a new Kiswahili spell checker has been developed and, it uses most of the Kiswahili words spoken in Tanzania and its locale identity is sw-TZ for OpenOffice.org and Mozilla Firefox while Kiswahili spoken in Kenya has a locale identity sw-KE which is common for Microsoft office products. It was developed due to the shortcomings of first ever Kiswahili spell checker developed by Open Kiswahili Localization Project(KILINUX). A spell-checking tool called MySpell has been used in developing a new spell checker. The dictionary of a new spell checker consists of 4894 stems and its affixes were created based on Kiswahili noun classification system and by selecting different groups of verb stems that follow the same trends in generating other Kiswahili valid words. Thispaper addresses the shortcomings of the existing spell checker and the approach carried out to develop a new spell checker.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Roads are one of the most important infrastructural objects for each country. Slow development of third world countries is partially influenced by missing roads. Therefore, United Nation (UN) enlisted them inside the ninth Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) whose achievement highly relies on geospatial data. Since the authoritative data for the majority of developing countries are incomplete and unavailable, the focus of this study is on free data. The conveyed research, explained in this paper, was divided in two parts. The first one refers to completeness and positional accuracy assessment of three different road data sets (freely available). The second part was focused only on OpenStreetMap (OSM) since it showed the best results in the previous stage. Thus, OSM was used to compute (in the second part of the research) and analyse the road accessibility rate within the buffer zone of two kilometers from human settlements. To locate human settlements, raster data, representing land covers were used. Results are pointing where the infrastructure is not mapped or is not present. The complete work was done using Free and Open Source Software, which is important, since the proposed procedure can be implemented by anyone.</p>

Abstract:
SUMMARYMathematical modelling is an important tool for understanding the dynamics of the spread of infectious diseases, which could be the result of a natural outbreak or of the intentional release of pathogenic biological agents. Decision makers and policymakers responsible for strategies to contain disease, prevent epidemics and fight possible bioterrorism attacks, need accurate computational tools, based on mathematical modelling, for preventing or even managing these complex situations. In this article, we tested the validity, and demonstrate the reliability, of an open-source software, the Spatio-Temporal Epidemiological Modeler (STEM), designed to help scientists and public health officials to evaluate and create models of emerging infectious diseases, analysing three real cases of Ebola haemorrhagic fever (EHF) outbreaks: Uganda (2000), Gabon (2001) and Guinea (2014). We discuss the cases analysed through the simulation results obtained with STEM in order to demonstrate the capability of this software in helping decision makers plan interventions in case of biological emergencies.

Abstract:
Objectives: Uganda is a low-income country faced with a number of challenges in health service delivery, including oral health services. Despite reports of an increased prevalence of oral diseases, they are afforded less priority, amidst competing priorities of infectious and other non-communicable diseases. Oral health-care services are offered free-of-charge in public health facilities. The majority of the Ugandan population live in rural areas. This would imply that public dental services should be more widely distributed in rural areas to meet the needs of the majority population. This study, therefore, aimed to determine the geographic distribution of public dental services relative to poverty and ruralization of the Ugandan population. Materials and Methods: All 112 districts in Uganda were to be surveyed for this study using an ecological design that incorporated the Ugandan population with socio-demographics obtained from the latest Uganda National Housing and Population Census and poverty data from the national Poverty Status Report 2014. The data from the districts were on the availability of public dental services and the physical location of these dental facilities. Overall, 182 public facilities were included in the study. The geographic location of public dental clinics was established using open-data sources. The data on ruralization were aggregated at the district level and that on poverty at the subregion level. Spatial analysis was done using geographic information science software, Quantum Geographic Information System. Results: The total Ugandan population was 34 million. Overall, 19.7% of the population was poor with the highest proportion located in the North and East of Uganda. Urban-rural characteristics varied across the country. Information on the 182 public dental clinics was collected from 97 of the 112 Ugandan districts. Among the 97 districts, 15% had no public clinic and were located in the poorest Ugandan regions. Among the 40 districts containing over 90% of the rural population, 20% had none, and 55% only had one dental clinic. In general, service availability reduced as the proportion of the rural and poor population increased. Conclusion: The spatial analysis presents an avenue to inform and guide the decision making and planning process by identifying geographic areas with access gaps relative to population socio-demographic characteristics. This study revealed that public dental services were least available for the poorest and rural populations, and yet they are already vulnerable to other access barriers. It is recommended that efforts should be made by health planners and policymakers to avert the health inequalities presented by inequitable access.

Abstract:
This study used remote sensing and Geo-graphical Information System (GIS) to assess the status of Awoja watersheds in Ngora district of Eastern Uganda. Landsat ETM Images covering the whole of Ngora district and part of Lake Kyoga of two time periods was carried out in the period April to July 2015. This wasacquired using USGS Earth Explorer. The images were processed and enhanced with ERDAS 2014 software to aid information extraction and analysis. Land cover change analysis was performed using ENVI 5.3 software. Supervised classification method with maximum likelihood algorithm was performed to obtain land use/ cover types. Five land use/cover types were identified: open water, wetland, tree cover, agriculture and built up area. The findings indicate a fivefold increase in built up area by 154.27km2 (i.e. 375%) and open water increased by 8.7 km2 (i.e. 55.33%). Wetland, tree cover and agriculture reduced in area by -1.0km2 (i.e. 5.1%), - 48.07 km2 (i.e. 34.46%) and -114.0km2 (i.e. 51.05%), respectively. These changes mainly resulted from deforestation, wetland encroachment, poor attitude and over population. Unless, appropriate watershed restoration strategies are designed through afforestation, law enforcement on culprits, continuous sensitisation of the watershed community on the causes of degradation, the over 1,700,000 individuals whose livelihoods depend on Awojawill continue to suffer the effects of degradation. There is need to advocate for non-consumptive projects as alternative sources of income. Keywords: Remote sensing, GIS, Watersheds.

Abstract:
Two-phase pipe flow is a common occurrence in many industrial applications such as sewage, water, oil, and gas transportation. Accurate prediction of liquid velocity, holdup and pressure drop is of vast importance to ensure effective design and operation of fluid transport systems. This paper aimed at the simulation of a two-phase flow of air and sewage (water) using an open source software OpenFOAM. Numerical Simulations have been performed using varying dimensions of pipes as well as their inclinations. Specifically, a Standard k- turbulence model and the Volume of Fluid (VOF) free water surface model is used to solve the turbulent mixture flow of air and sewage (water). A two dimensional, 0.5m diameter pipe of 20m length is used for the CFD approach based on the Navier-Stokes equations. Results showed that the flow pattern behaviour is influenced by the pipe diameters as well as their inclination. It is concluded that the most effective way to optimize a sewer network system for Tororo Municipality conditions and other similar situations, is by adjusting sewer diameters and slope gradients and expanding the number of sewer network connections of household and industries from 535 (i.e., 31.2% of total) to at least 1,200 (70% of total).

Abstract:
This exploratory research examined an information policy formation process for the adoption of open source software (OSS) in Uganda. Grounded in a pragmatist tradition, this theoretical and empirical study pursued a qualitative research approach with a triangulation of theoretical concepts, data collection, and analysis techniques in an iterative and interactive process. The design provided a powerful context to develop and conduct field activities in Kampala with a purposeful sample of 22 participants, 20 in interviews and 5 in a focus group discussion. The research design enhanced consistency in the evidence from the data, increased robustness in the results, and confidence in the findings. The results highlighted a vibrant ICT sector in Uganda, underlined the multiple stakeholders and their competing interests in the policy, revealed a lack of consensus between the government and OSS promoters on the meaning of OSS, and illuminated the benefits in the OSS model over proprietary software. The stakeholders' conflicting perceptions appear to be too far apart to allow meaningful progress and are derailing the policy. Unless their conflicting perceptions are resolved, the OSS policy will continue stagnating. The study fills critical information gaps in Uganda’s policy formation processes, provides timely and relevant information to holistically understand a complex policy formation stage to enable stakeholders to resolve their impasse and enact a law to embrace OSS. It breaks ground in information policy research in framing policy formation processes for new ICTs, such as OSS, as ideologically-oriented. The findings offer ideas to scholars and African countries to draw applicable lessons.

Abstract:
As the performance of PCs is increasing it is of great interest to use these cheap devices as routers,which traditionally consisted of more expensive and customized hardware for that purpose. Thesoftware was also traditionally proprietary and thereby costly, but as the open source communityhas grown there have been development of open source solutions that can perform the task ofacting as a router. However as there are so many solutions out there, it can be hard for the potentialusers to choose which particular solution to use, without having to put in too much work intogetting a fully functional router solution. This study achieved this purpose by benchmarking themost popular open source software routers, in terms of performance and scalability as well asproviding a brief analysis of their basic security features. The routers that were studied wasClearOS, Untangle NG Firewall and IPFire, and after the study was complete IPFire was consideredthe superior with ClearOS as the second and Untangle as third and last.

Software livres têm despertado bastante atenção, não apenas devido a popularidade obtida por alguns destes como o Linux e o Apache, mas também pela forma singular como estes sistemas são desenvolvidos e sua quantidade de adeptos. No entanto, em alguns projetos de software livre, a documentação existente dificulta a entrada de novos participantes, já que devido a informalidade do processo de desenvolvimento deste tipo de software, é comum que a documentação do sistema não receba muita atenção. Este trabalho colabora para um melhor entendimento do desenvolvimento de software livres, relacionando-o com as questões de evolução de software. Será apresentada uma proposta utilizada no software livre C e L para documentar em termos da aplicação o código do sistema, utilizando-se do conceito de cenários. Será mostrado através de um protótipo que um software seguindo esse padrão proposto pode produzir uma documentação que torna mais fácil seu entendimento para novos participantes do projeto.<br>This thesis presents an introduction on the use of the thermal desorption technique that is based on the direct heating of the soil, for the remediation of contaminated areas. Heat propagation through soils can be mathematically simulated using coupled heat-moisture transfer theories. In order to make this simulation possible it is necessary to identify the required parameters: hydraulic conductivity as a function of volumetric water content, thermal conductivity as a function of volumetric water content, volumetric heat capacity, and soil-water characteristic curve. One technical description of such parameters is presented. Two different kinds of soils were used, one clay- sand (CH) and one sandclay (SC). A study physico-chemical was done talking into consideration the temperature effect on the soils with X-Ray, electron microscopic investigation, CTC, Atterberg Limits and at the particle size distribution. The study was done on pre-heated soils with temperatures ranging from 20 Celsius Degrees to 300 Celsius Degrees. Equipments and methodologies have been especially developed for the study of the thermo-hydraulics proprieties. The laboratory tests program consisted of hydraulic conductivity, retention curves and deformability, taking into account the temperature effects. During the tests it was observed that all parameters were temperature dependent. The thermal parameters, thermal conductivity and heat capacity were studied for both soils.

Abstract:
Open source software is, software that users have the ability to run, copy, distribute, study, change, share and improve for any purpose. Open source library softwareâ s does not need the initial cost of commercial software and enables libraries to have greater control over their working environment. Library professionals should be aware of the advantages of open source software and should involve in their development. They should have basic knowledge about the selection, installation and maintenance. Open source software requires a greater degree of computing responsibility than commercial software. Library professionals do not think seriously about the advantages of open source software for automation and hence are reluctant to use it. They do not have the expertise to support open source software. Paper highlights major open source library software.

Abstract:
Abstract. The environment around open source version control software is very opinionated and therefore it is hard to find unbiased comparison between different open source version control software. This Bachelor’s thesis provides background and covers the basics of version control systems. Thesis also categorizes and differentiates the main types of version control systems, by investigating the way they handle repositories and by categorizing them to centralized and distributed. Finally, this thesis provides the unbiased technical comparison of the selected open source version control software and a way to map a suitable one for a software project. Comparison of technical details is collected into tables for easy interpretation and the main differentiators are explained more carefully. Mapping is achieved by pairing the major characteristics of different software projects with the technical features of version control systems and then with version control software that best supports these specific features. Pairing of the software project and the version control software is further refined with technical details that are not covered by the needs of major characteristics of the software project. Selection of the open source version control software is restricted to the four most popular ones.Avoimen lähdekoodin versionhallintaohjelmistot. Tiivistelmä. Avoimen lähdekoodin versionhallintaohjelmistoista on vaikea löytää puolueetonta vertailua, koska mielipiteet niiden ympärillä ovat hyvin polarisoituneita. Tämä kandidaatintyö tarjoaa taustatietoa ja käy läpi versionhallintajärjestelmien perusteet. Lisäksi tutkielma luokittelee ja erottaa versionhallintajärjestelmien päätyypit tarkastelemalla järjestelmien tapaa käyttää versionhallinnan varastoa ja kategorisoimalla järjestelmät sen mukaan keskitettyihin ja hajautettuihin. Tämä kandidaatintyö esittää myös puolueettoman teknisen vertailun yleisimmistä avoimen lähdekoodin versionhallintaohjelmistoista ja tavan kartoittaa ohjelmistoprojektiin sopiva versionhallintaohjelmisto. Tekninen vertailu on koottu taulukoiksi tulkinnan helpottamiseksi. Lisäksi pääeroavaisuudet on käyty läpi tarkemmin. Sopivan versionhallintaohjelmiston kartoittaminen ohjelmistoprojektiin on toteutettu yhdistämällä ohjelmistoprojektien tunnusomaiset piirteet versionhallintajärjestelmien ominaisuuksiin ja tämän jälkeen valitsemalla versionhallintaohjelmisto, joka toteuttaa kyseiset ominaisuudet. Tämän lisäksi versionhallintaohjelmiston valintaa tarkennetaan ottamalla huomioon ne tekniset eroavaisuudet, jotka eivät tule esiin tarkasteltaessa ohjelmistoprojektin tunnusomaisia piirteitä. Avoimen lähdekoodin versionhallintaohjelmistoista mukaan on valittu vain neljä käytetyintä.

Abstract:
This thesis is describing a business strategy of how to license a software product. The licenses discussed in this thesis are called open source licenses. The open source licenses have gained much attention lately by companies such as Microsoft, IBM, and Sun Microsystems. The reason for this is that some products considered being open source software are very widely used. These products include the most popular web server, the Apache web server, with more than 60% market share. 25% of the installed operating systems that are running Apache and other web servers are installed with Linux as operating system, which is also considered as open source software. These are only two examples of popular products that are considered as open source software products. These products are choices for many people and companies when choosing software to use, for example NASA. Open source licenses are called open in the way that the software is shipped not only in binary form, but also with the source code that can be modified and recompiled to suit the buyer’s need better. Apache web server and the Linux operating system are free for download, install, run and modify to suit your needs. In this thesis I will discuss whether these licenses can increase the chance of developing a successful product or not, in terms of market shares.<br>Affärsmodeller kring öppen källkod diskuteras i denna magisteruppats.

<p>The Open Source community seems to suffer from a lack of female developers. In this thesis I have looked at different initiatives to increase the female participation. According to other studies the percentage of female open software developers is about 1.5%. My analysis of some mailing lists for open source projects shows that this number seems to be accurate. Open source is no longer a marginalised part of the IT market, but has become a mainstream and common alternative. Broader participation will probably increase the quality of the software.</p>
