Neuroprotective Potential of Syzygium aromaticum Against Mercuric Chloride-Induced Brain Toxicity in Mice
REFNo: HS7231ES
General Objective
To evaluate the neuroprotective potential of Syzygium aromaticum against mercuric chloride-induced brain toxicity in mice.
Specific Objectives
This study's specific objectives will be to:
(i) Phytochemically characterize Syzygium aromaticum and predict the pharmacokinetic and toxicological properties of its major metabolites using computational tools.
(ii) Determine molecular interactions between the key phytometabolites of Syzygium
aromaticum and neuronal receptors (NMDA and GABA-A) implicated in mercuric chloride-induced neurotoxicity through molecular docking.
(iii) Evaluate the neurobehavioral and biochemical effects of Syzygium aromaticum pretreated and mercuric chloride-exposed mice, focusing on motor coordination, memory performance, oxidative stress, and lipid peroxidation biomarkers.
(iv) Demonstrate histological alterations in the cerebellar cortex and hippocampus of Syzygium aromaticum pretreated and mercuric chloride-exposed mice, by assessing cellular forms.
(v) Demonstrate astroglial activation and neuronal injury in the cerebellar cortex and hippocampus of Syzygium aromaticum pretreated and mercuric chloride-exposed mice using immunohistochemical markers for Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) and Neuronal Specific Enolase (NSE).

Feasibility of using telephone interviews for health surveillance in an open
population cohort: A cluster randomised non-inferiority trial.
REFNo: HS7309ES
Study aim
To assess the feasibility of using telephone interviews in conducting survey data collection that includes the assessment of family planning needs in the Kyamulibwa General Population Cohort.
Specific objectives
To evaluate the acceptability of telephone interviews among GPC participants, including interview completion rates, and willingness to participate via phone.
To compare data quality and completeness between telephone interviews and face-to-face interviews, focusing on key demographic and health indicators.
To identify logistical and operational challenges associated with conducting telephone-based data collection, such as mobile phone access, network coverage, call success rates, and duration.
iv.
To explore the economic and financial cost of using telephone interviews for running health surveillance compared to traditional face-to-face interviews.
To understand demographic and socioeconomic factors influencing completion rates, such as age, gender, education level, or social economic status.

Traditional authorities in contemporary governance systems in Africa: Uganda, Ghana, and Sierra Leone in comparative perspectives
REFNo: SS5086ES
The main purpose of this comparative study of Uganda, Sierra Leone, and Ghana is to compare and contrast how traditional rulers relate with the state in contemporary governance systems.
The specific objectives of this study include the following:
• Compare the nature and strength of traditional authority in Uganda, Sierra Leone, and Ghana so as to understand how they have evolved and adapted to changes in contemporary governance
• Examine how chiefs exercise their authority in relations to other powerholders in specific contexts taking into account changing political, socioeconomic, and cultural
circumstances
• Trace the evolution of chiefs' relations with other authorities in contemporary times both at the national and subnational levels of governance.
• Analyze the comparative effect of reform policies on chiefs, including initiatives intended to liberal-democratic standards of governance
