    Book of Research Abstracts,
    (Soroti University, 2025-12-12) Soroti University
    Preface Soroti University is deeply committed to promoting research throughout its domains of higher and community education. Our central aim is to nurture a research-based perspective to all our members be this academic or administrative, as well as promote public awareness on social values in our country. I am therefore conveying my sincere gratitude to all individuals who submitted abstracts that have been published in this Book of Abstracts. The Abstracts presented illustrate our commitment to the culture of research at our University. I commend our researchers for their dedication to scientific inquiry and pursuance of excellence which is an essential element towards generating new knowledge and solutions to problems affecting our communities. I urge them to remain steadfast in this journey. I am, however, reminding them to do impactful research that should see change in whatever problem exists in the communities. My assurance is that the University will continue to support this effort to enable you to continue with this noble journey. The University has a Research and Innovation Directorate that provides overall guidance to our research efforts and strategic direction. The research activities, and those of our collaborators, are expected to align with this agenda. However, novel research areas not explicitly included may also be considered, provided they demonstrate significant social impact and value to the country. My gratitude is extended to our partners for their Commitment to strengthening the University through the kind of research it conducts. I acknowledge the work of the committee responsible for publishing this first edition of abstracts from Soroti University. I encourage you to do the same in the future. I also extend my appreciation to the School of Graduate Studies, Research and Innovations in particular, and the University at large for this initiative of publishing inaugural abstracts of Soroti University. Finally, to our partners and stakeholders, we encourage you to read and support the University in its maiden journey in research and other areas that are essential to the development of our country. Thank you for your contribution and support. Prof. J.R. Ikoja Odongo VICE-CHANCELLOR Email: vc@sun.ac.ug Tel:+256(0)773295294/ 0704901939

    (Frontiers in Education, 2025-03-03) Samuel Ocen; Joseph Elasu; Sylvia Manjeri Aarakit; Charles Olupot
    Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing industries including institutions of higher learning as it enhances teaching and learning processes, streamline administrative tasks and drive innovations. Despite the unprecedented opportunities, AI tools if not used correctly, can be challenging in education institutions. The purpose of this study was to comprehensively review the AI innovations, opportunities and challenges associated with the use of AI in higher Education of learning. A systematic literature review methodology was adopted and used to locate and select existing studies, analyze and synthesize the evidence to arrive at clear conclusion about the current debate in the area of study. Following the PRISMA, the study analyzed a total of 54 documents that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria set for selection of the documents. The review unveiled many opportunities including enhanced research capabilities, automation of administrative tasks among others. Artificial Intelligence tools are found to refine and streamline the administrative tasks in different units in higher institutions of learning. The challenges include ethical concerns, integrity issues and data fabrication issues. With the challenges notwithstanding, the benefits of Artificial Intelligence cannot be over emphasized. Artificial intelligence remains a powerful tool for research, automation of administrative tasked, personalized learning, inclusivity and accessibility of educational content for all. Emphasis should be put in regulatory frameworks detailing how such tools can be used while maintaining the level of ethical standards required.

    SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS SCREENING AND MANAGEMENT AMONG ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS ATTENDING OUTPATIENTS CLINICS
    (Soroti University, 2022-06-11)
    Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are infections that can be passed on during unprotected sex and intimate skin-to-skin contact. Many STIs don’t have any symptoms. This means an adolescent can have an STI without knowing it and pass it on to the partner during sex or close contact. These include gonorrhea, syphilis, HPV, herpes, genital warts, HIV, hepatitis B, and chlamydia. Most are easily treated, especially when they are discovered early. If left untreated, STIs can lead to serious health problems [3].-Infertility, death, Pelvic Inflammatory disease, emotional and mental illness, transmission to infants.
