Investigating the role soils nutrients play in regulating soil greenhouse gas fluxes and nitrogen leaching from two contrasting ecosystems: a nutrient limited tropical forest and an intensively fertilized sugarcane plantation in Uganda.
REFNo: A46ES
This PhD study investigates how soil nutrients regulate soil greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes and N leaching in a nutrient limited tropical forest and an intensively fertilized sugarcane plantation in northwestern Uganda. More specifically, the study aims to: (1) investigate how nutrient limitations affect soil GHG fluxes in a tropical rainforest, and (2) quantify how the conversion from natural forest to fertilizer-based sugarcane systems alters soil GHG fluxes, N leaching losses and nutrient use efficiency along a fertilizer intensification gradient (low, standard, and high fertilizer application)

Registry to study the demographics, socioeconomic and clinical factors, etiologies, pathophysiology, management, barriers to care, and outcomes of heart failure patients at St. Francis Hospital Nsambya.
REFNo: HS287ES
1. Estimate the incident rate of outcomes in HF patients in Uganda; assess social and lifestyle factors (incl. demographics, socioeconomic variables, clinical risk factors, diet, and health-related quality of life), etiologies and variations in treatment patterns that might influence mortality and morbidity.
2. Describe determinants of different HF phenotypes (HFpEF, HFrEF, and HF due to valvular heart disease and ALVD), and their management and outcomes.
3. Assess non-cardiac co-morbidities at enrolment, their incidence during the study, and how they influence outcomes from both cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular mortality and morbidity.
4. In a sub-study of approximately 50-60 patients, perform measures of frailty, cognitive and lung function, mental health, adherence to medication, and dietary assessment, with collection of blood and urine samples for central analysis, to further understand the pathophysiologic changes in HF and their relation to outcomes.
5. Describe patient and system barriers to HF care.

Prevalence and Incidence of Atrial Fibrillation in HIV infection in Uganda.
REFNo: HS373ES
• Primary objective 1: To investigate the point-prevalence of AF by screening the outpatient clinic population at the Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI), Kampala (Uganda) using the iECG
• Primary objective 2: To study the incidence of AF by annual review of iECG within a long-term cohort of HIV patients that are being followed-up for ART outcomes at IDI (ALT-cohort).
• Secondary objective 1: Evaluate the performance of iECG against routine ECG measurements
• Secondary objective 2: To determine the risk factors associated with incident AF

Religion and Community Caregivers in Uganda
REFNo: SS290ES
This research project investigates the overlapping fields of religion and social welfare provision in Uganda, with a focus on local community leaders who are caring for social welfare needs related to poverty and economic insecurity. It seeks to understand the role of religious beliefs, practices, and structures in the formation and success of such local community caregivers. It also seeks to evaluate the impact of local community caregivers relative to other types of social welfare providers within the religious and political fields. The aim is to produce several academic articles as well as an original book. This book would use portraits of Ugandan community caregivers to describe what makes such a person successful and how to emulate their efforts toward social transformation. It would also use these portraits as a means of instructing readers on the dynamics of religion and politics in post-colonial Africa.
