The Role of Former Female Fighters in the National Resistance Movement
REFNo: SS791ES
During conflict, women step into a number of roles that were traditionally reserved for men--with some women joining rebel forces to fight, others taking up peace activism to combat such fighting, and many stepping into roles that were traditionally held by men. A strong literature has emerged detailing women's violent participation in conflict, as well as the motivations, dynamics, and implications of their action. Through their participation, women are able to experience greater equality with men, in addition to building critical skills and networks. However, little is known about how former rebel women build on these experiences post-conflict. Instead, much of the literature suggests that former rebel women experience significant marginalization after conflict, minimizing their future opportunities. Such patterns seem further at odds with patterns of rebel-group-to-political-party transformations. In this project, I have two main objectives. I seek to understand the post-conflict fate of former female fighters and how it relates to former rebel party politics. I ask if and how former female fighters are able to build on their conflict experiences and networks to access positions of political power in the post-conflict environment. Further, I seek to understand broader patterns in which women are elected after conflict. To understand these dynamics, I intend to collect systematic candidate data in Uganda and will complement this will a qualitative analysis based on interviews with former female combatants for the National Resistance Army.

A randomized clinical TriaL of early empiric Anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis therapy for Sepsis in sub-Saharan Africa (ATLAS trial)
REFNo: HS1272ES
The primary hypothesis of this clinical trial protocol is that immediate and sepsis specific dose of anti-TB therapy will result in improved 28-day mortality for study participants admitted to hospital with HIV and sepsis in Tanzania and Uganda compared to standard care alone.
The primary objective is:
1) To conduct a randomized 2x2 factorial clinical trial of 1) immediate initiation of empiric anti-TB therapy plus standard care vs diagnosis dependent anti-TB therapy plus standard care alone and 2) sepsis-specific anti-TB therapy plus standard care vs conventional WHO weight-based anti-TB therapy plus standard care for patients presenting with sepsis to two hospitals in Uganda and Tanzania.
1a) To determine if empiric immediate initiation of anti-TB therapy plus standard care improves 28 day mortality compared to diagnosis dependent anti-TB therapy plus standard care.
1b) To determine if sepsis-specific dose anti-TB therapy plus standard care improves 28 day mortality compared to conventional WHO weight-based anti-TB therapy plus standard care.
The secondary objectives include:
1) To determine if empiric immediate initiation of anti-TB therapy plus standard care improves in-hospital mortality compared to diagnosis dependent anti-TB therapy plus standard care
2) To determine if sepsis-specific dose anti-TB therapy plus standard care improves in hospital mortality compared to conventional WHO weight-based anti-TB therapy plus standard care.
3) To determine if empiric immediate initiation of anti-TB therapy plus standard care improves 6 month mortality compared to diagnosis dependent anti-TB therapy plus standard care
4) To determine if sepsis-specific dose anti-TB therapy plus standard care improves 6 month mortality compared to conventional WHO weight-based anti-TB therapy plus standard care.
5) To determine the safety of increased dose anti-TB therapy for patients with sepsis
6) To determine if early achievement of target serum drug concentrations of isoniazid and rifampin, measured at day-2 of TB treatment, associates with more rapid clinical improvement among patients with confirmed TB.

A randomised non-inferiority trial with nested PK to assess DTG/3TC fixed dose formulations for the maintenance of virological suppression in children with HIV infection aged 2 to <15 years old
REFNo: HS1288ES
The overall aim is to evaluate two-drug therapy with DTG/3TC FDC given once daily in comparison with triple-drug ART in HIV-1 infected children and adolescents who are virologically-suppressed on their ART regimen.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE
To assess whether DTG/3TC is non-inferior to SOC, consisting of an anchor drug (NNRTI, PI or INSTI) and 2 NRTIs, in terms of virological suppression
HYPOTHESIS
Switching to DTG/3TC will provide non-inferior virological suppression to remaining on SOC over 96 weeks.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES
 To evaluate clinical and laboratory adverse events associated with the trial antiretrovirals
 To evaluate new resistance mutations in participants with virological rebound (confirmed VL≥50 copies/mL)
 To assess low level viraemia and virological reservoirs
 To evaluate adherence, tolerability, acceptability, sleep and health-related quality of life
 To evaluate and model the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of dispersible and film-coated fixed-dose DTG/3TC formulations in children weighing 6-<40kg using WHO weight band-aligned dosing
 To evaluate cost-effectiveness of treatment maintenance with DTG/3TC FDC if DTG/3TC is shown to be non-inferior to SOC
