REFNo: SS229ES
Research Question: At sites where the Cumming School of Medicine (CSM) and other international institutions have long-standing collaborations in support of global health electives, what are the relationship dynamics as perceived by stakeholders in sub-Saharan Africa in regards to visiting medical trainee global health electives?
Specific Objectives
We aim to:
1)Explore and explain perspectives regarding the harms and benefits of global health electives from multiple stakeholders.
2)Explore and explain perspectives on how to create more equitable and mutually beneficial global health electives from multiple stakeholders.
The stakeholder perspectives which we plan to include are those at the host site in Mwanza, Tanzania and Mbarara, Uganda: health facility administrators, host physicians, medical officers, nurses, local trainees, patients and/or family members, and a community leader.

High Dose AMBISOME on a Fluconazole Backbone for Cryptococcal Meningitis Induction Therapy in sub-Saharan Africa: A Phase 3 Randomised Controlled Non-Inferiority Trial
REFNo: HS213ES
Primary Objective:
To determine whether short-course high-dose L-AmB is as effective as 7-day amphotericin B deoxycholate-based treatment courses (current standard of care) in averting all-cause mortality in HIV-associated CM patients in a phase-III clinical endpoint trial.
Secondary Objectives:
1. To determine the EFA in both treatment arms.
2. To examine the proportions of patients in each arm with clinical and laboratory-defined grade III/IV adverse events; median % change from baseline in laboratory defined parameters, by treatment arm.
3. To determine health service costs by treatment arm.
4. To determine all-cause mortality within the first 2 and 4 weeks.
5. To determine whether short-course high-dose L-AmB is superior to 7-day amphotericin B-based treatment courses (current standard of care) in averting all-cause mortality.
6. To determine rates of cryptococcal relapse / IRIS within the first 10 weeks by treatment arm.
7. To determine rates of disability at 10 weeks by treatment arm.

Successful Strategies for Using Knowledge Management in Small- and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs)
REFNo: SS228ES
The purpose of the research study is to explore strategies that some SMEs managers use to effectively integrate Knowledge Management (KM) into their business practices; with the objective that the research study will enable me to make a contribution to positive social change as the findings from this study may be helpful in expanding opportunities for employees to learn new skills and knowledge. Another contribution to positive social change may be the expansion of employment opportunities because, as SMEs integrate KM into their business practices, SMEs may become more successful, leading to the expansion of employment opportunities.
