Ergonomic safety factors and 3-6 year-old children's readiness to learn in selected Kampala City Nursery schools
REFNo: SS3770ES
The main objective of this study is to assess the effects of ergonomic safety factors on 3-6 year- old children's readiness to learn in selected Kampala City Nursery schools.
The specific objectives are as follows:
1. Evaluate the ergonomic safety considerations for 3-6 year-old children’s readiness to learn in selected Kampala City Nursery schools.
2. To examine the effects of the design of furniture on 3-6 year-old children’s readiness to learn in selected Kampala City nursery schools.
3. To analyse the effects of sitting location on 3-6 year-old children’s readiness to learn in selected Kampala city nursery schools.
4. Explore the classroom health related safety factors that influence 3-6 year-old children’s readiness to learn in selected Kampala city nursery schools.

A Genomics Census of Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) in the Greater Budongo-Bugoma Landscape: A Tool to Aid Long-term Monitoring and Conservation of a Critically Threatened Great Ape Population
REFNo: NS957ES
The objective of this 3-year study is to conduct a comprehensive genetics census of wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) living in the Greater Budongo-Bugoma Landscape. This critically important great ape population comprises those in the Budongo and Bugoma Central Forest Reserves (CFRs) and the unprotected ‘corridor’ areas surrounding these main forest blocks. Chimpanzees throughout this landscape are highly threatened by ongoing agricultural and infrastructural developments, including those connected to the development of Uganda’s oil industry, with the chimpanzees residing outside protected areas facing greatest impacts. Fieldwork will involve non-invasive collection of faecal samples from all ‘corridor’ chimpanzee groups, with related data collected on ranges and habitat use, in addition to faecal sampling of populations within the main Budongo and Bugoma CFRs. The study will employ state-of-the-art genomics analyses to provide novel baseline data on the size, structure and viability of this critical but highly threatened population of great apes. The study will directly aid long-term population monitoring and inform effective conservation strategies on the ground to help safeguard the chimpanzees inhabiting this fast-developing region of Uganda.

A Review of Medical Records and Infrastructure Capacity to Inform Prospective Cohort Studies in Maternal and Child Health in Rural Uganda
REFNo: HS5841ES
Primary objectives
1. To review and extract data collected during antenatal care, birth, and postnatal periods at St. Francis Buluba Hospital and Mayuge Health Centre IV, assess the data types and methods of routinely gathered pregnancy-related, including laboratory and pharmacy data.
2. To determine the quality of perinatal data collected at St. Francis Buluba Hospital and Mayuge Health Centre IV with interest in completeness and legibility.
3. To explore the extent to which current records reflect current WHO recommendations in terms of timing of antenatal, postnatal visits and data collected at each visit.
4. To assess the feasibility of linking perinatal health records across antenatal, birth, and postnatal care into a standardised digital data collection format, capturing the standard WHO criteria
Secondary Objectives
1. To determine the prevalence and risk factors of adverse perinatal and child-hood outcomes among mothers and children attending at Mayuge Health facilities from 01 January 2023 – 31 December 2024.
2. To assess the capacity and utilization of laboratory and pharmacy services in supporting maternal and child health

Electronic Waste Recycling and Environmental Policy in East Africa
REFNo: SS3908ES
Many cities across the global south are rapidly urbanizing and confronting increasing levels of wastes. This poses a challenge for cities’ infrastructural capacity. This project asks how cities and states adapt to rapid population growth and the byproducts of growing industrial sectors, and the wastes these growing forces bring. Batteries and consumer electronics are ubiquitous in daily life, yet the fate of these products once they reach the end of their lives remains understudied. This study seeks to understand how city and state governments make decisions on how to recycle these electronic wastes, how governments work with private sector actors to engineer recycling infrastructures, and where environmental externalities from the increased volumes of electronic wastes end up. This study examines state and city policy surrounding recycling and environmental protection, as well as metal recycler’s strategies for recycling electronic wastes in Kampala, Uganda. One objective of the study is to understand how governments and private recyclers separate electronic wastes from the general overall waste stream. Futhermore, the study seeks to understand different models for recycling electronic wastes once these wastes have been separated.
