Smallholder pig value chain R4D projects in UgandaILRI
Presented by Danilo Pezo and Kristina Rösel at the workshop on Preliminary Survey Findings on Slaughter Hygiene at Wambizzi Abattoir, Bioversity Kampala, Uganda, 16 August 2012
Agriculture is the main stay of the Uganda’s economy employing 65.6 per cent (UBOS 2009) of the labour force and contributing 21 percent to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Agricultural production in Uganda is dominated by smallholder farmers engaged in crop farming, livestock keeping, forestry, horticulture and fishing.
Livestock production - the livestock sector in Uganda contributes about 17% of the national Agriculture Gross Domestic Product in the form of milk and meat.
Cattle population at 11.4 million with ~ 10.6% improved cattle.

This paper examines the extent at which relationship management in downstream supply chain predicts performance of selected pharmaceutical companies in Kampala, Uganda. The two specific objectives of this paper are to: assess the extent at which collaborative customer management predicts performance of selected pharmaceutical companies in Kampala; and evaluate the extent at which transactional customer management predicts performance of selected pharmaceutical companies in Kampala. The researcher employed case studies and cross-sectional research designs, which used a researcher’s made questionnaire, for data collection. Data was analyzed using means and regressions which were computed using the statistical package for social scientist (SPSS). Findings revealed a high extent of relationship management in downstream supply chain at an average mean of 4.23, as well as, high levels of pharmaceutical performance at an average mean of 4.29. When these results were regressed, it was indicated that, relationship management in supply chain highly predicts pharmaceutical performance in Kampala (r2 value 72% and Sig. 0.014). The researcher therefore, recommends; managers, policy makers and practitioners to give considerable attention on managing relationship within the downstream supply chain, and in particular, ensure appropriate collaborations with customers, in this way, organizations will retain customers, increase sales levels and market share, which consequently improve organizational performance.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

2. Pig production- a dynamic and rapidly growing sector
in Uganda. In the past three decades increase from
0.19 to 2.3 million pigs (FAO, 2012).
Uganda: highest per capita consumption (3.4
kg/person/year) in the region -10 times increase
in the last 30 years, whereas beef is declining.
3. Inputs and Post-farm
Services Live-pig traders
Transporters
Pig breeder
Vet / Animal Prod
Farm Slaughterers
extension services Systems: Pork Butchers
Agrovet / feed shop Breeding Pork processors-
owners Growing/Fattening large and medium
Feed manufacturers Supermarkets/
and suppliers restaurants
Transporters- feed Consumers
4. A large informal subsector
• Backyard pig production, mainly
managed by women
• Few animals
• Free-range, tethered
• Small number of peri-urban
small-scale semi-intensive
• Uncoordinated trade &
transport
• Unsupervised slaughter, no
meat inspection in local
markets, road-side butchers
• Pork joints
7. At farm level
- Nutrition and feed (poor quality feeds,
seasonality)
- Swine health (ASF, tryps, lice, mange, helminths,
others)
- Genetics & breeding strategies (inbreeding)
- Husbandry & management (deficient corrals, if
available)
- Poor access to information and services
- Limited organizational strategies to achieve
economies of scale
8. At market level
- Organizational strategies
- Poor road infrastructure
- Limited market information, standards
(e.g., animals not weighed)
- Poor slaughter technologies and
infrastructure (by-product losses, and risk for
disseminating diseases)
- Minimal attention to disease control and
public health concerns (ASF, cysticercosis, blue
pork, others)
- Underdeveloped processing sector
9. • Improve efficiency to
lower production costs and
increase profitability
• Promote mechanisms for
reducing conflicts (pig
producers – neighbors)
• Institutional innovations
Production (service hubs for farmer
and groups, contract farming
Marketing schemes, etc.)
• Increase supply, reduce
wastage and promote value
addition
• Improve pork quality
• Efforts for vertical and
horizontal integration
10. • Early diagnosis,
management and
reduced disease risks
• National disease
Animal monitoring and
Health and surveillance
Food Safety • Improved public
health controls to
increase consumers
confidence - avoid
consumer scares
11. „Majority of pork in
Kampala contaminated“
with what?
„Increasingly risky for
human consumption“
consequences?
„Loyal pork consumers
face running mad“
per se?
12. „ALL pork supplied in
Kampala for human
consumption is
contaminated“
defamation, severerly
damaging a sector‘s
reputation
„Threatening to close all
pork joints around the
city“
risk of unemployment
14. At least 2 billion cases of diarrhea worldwide per
year (up to 90% attributed to food)
1.5 million children under 5 die because of
diarrheal disease (80% in South Asia and Africa)
Animal source foods are single most important
source of foodborne disease (FBD)
Diseases other than diarrhea: brucellosis,
tuberculosis, cancer, epilepsy...

15. Cysts in the human brain causing epilepsy. If people ingest eggs of the pig tapeworm
(e.g. when not washing their hands before eating), these may develop in the brain, the
eye or other parts of the body: http://www.cdc.gov/parasites/cysticercosis/biology.html
15
16. Current food safety management seems to
be neither effective nor efficient
Food safety communication trivializing
tendency to adopt international food
quality standards and hazard-based
regulations without considering local
contexts
16
17. Ban or promote?
Zero-risk/ hazard-based policy?
„if in doubt, keep it out“
Is there an acceptable level of risk?
How can participation help improving
food safety?

19. Based on evidence not perceptions
Clear distinction between risk and
hazard!
Hazard = anything that causes harm
Risk = probability + consequences
Risk analysis = structured approach
for evaluating and dealing with risks

20. Can it be present in food?
Hazard identification Can it cause harm?
What harm does it cause? How does it get from source to
