A bird vocalisation dataset of birds in Uganda for automated bio-acoustic monitoring and analysis.

This paper is a description of a bird vocalisation dataset containing electronic recordings of birds in Uganda. The data was collected from 7 locations namely Bwindi impenetrable forest, Kibale forest national park, Matheniko game reserve, Moroto district, Kidepo National Park, Lake Mburo National Park and Murchison Falls National Park. The data was collected between May and June 2023.

A water quality dataset of levels of metal, nutrient and anions in sample water points from sixteen selected urban and rural districts of Uganda.

This dataset highlights some of the water quality issues in Uganda. The rationale for collecting the water samples was to test and ascertain the level and source of contamination. A total of one hundred and eighty five samples were collected from sixteen districts.

Design Choices for Automated Disease Surveillance in the Social Web.

The social web has emerged as a dominant information architecture accelerating technology innovation on an unprecedented scale. The utility of these developments to public health use cases like disease surveillance, information dissemination, outbreak prediction and so forth has been widely investigated and variously demonstrated in work spanning several published experimental studies and deployed systems. In this paper we provide an overview of automated disease surveillance efforts based on the social web characterized by their different high level design choices regarding functional aspects like user participation and language parsing approaches.
