Is Nuclear Anarchy Sustainable? A Temporal Approach by Ye. I. Uchaev, A. A. Kvartalnov

“…Familiar events of nuclear history including early attempts to establish international control of nuclear energy, the Strategic Defense Initiative, and the evolution of the anti-nuclear movement are interpreted here as empirical evidence in favor of the theoretical implications described above.Thus, the concept of temporal contradiction provides another argument in favor of the idea that nuclear anarchy is unsustainable in the long run, since the proliferation of the finite temporality leads to international hierarchy, whereas persistent indefinite temporality masks the severity of the nuclear threat, making nuclear war more conceivable and probable.…”

Governance and Poverty Eradication Policy Performance During the NRM Administration in Uganda 1986 – 2020. by Mucunguzi, Abel, Katabaazi, Anny Bwengye

“…The idea behind this research is that if the causes of the slow progress in poverty reduction are not identified and targeted holistically through policy and inculcation of good governance at all levels of government administration, it will be difficult for Uganda to achieve significant poverty reduction and eradication in the long run. Consequently therefore, the main objective of the study was to establish whether or not a relationship exists between governance and anti-poverty policy performance in Uganda and to generate governance practices that can be applied for better anti-poverty policy performance in Uganda in the future. …”

Evaluation of Sustainable Land Management Practices in Kaharo Subcounty Kabale District. by Nasaasira, Blair

“…The effects of land management practices identified in the study area were; reducing soil erosion, improving soil fertility, controls crop pest and diseases, reduces soil compaction, reduce leaching of nutrients and increase soil water uptake and the farmers have knowledge about land management practices in the study area knowing that crop rotation maintains soil fertility, land management practices help in reducing land degradation covering the surface with grass or crop residues reduce and respondents noted that terracing helps us to reduce run-off and rate of erosion. The study recommends that Land management practices are currently being used by farmers but have potential to improve crop production. …”
