Expanding laparoscopic simulation in Uganda
REFNo: HS4783ES
Aim 3: Create, conduct, and review a hybrid laparoscopic surgery training course for practicing Ugandan surgeons.,Aim 2: Create a low-cost, high-fidelity laparoscopy training model. We will utilize the Duke-Muk educational partnership that forms the foundation for the Shipping Container MakerSpaces to develop and build a laparoscopic training model, demonstrating the effectiveness of the previously developed infrastructure for biomedical engineering.,Aim 1: Assess level of baseline laparoscopic training and experience for Ugandan surgeons. We will survey the members of the Ugandan Surgical Society regarding their needs, expectations, and willingness to participate in a laparoscopic training course,We will assess the needs of local surgeons and trainees about their needs and experiences in laparoscopy to develop a low-cost box-trainer that is manufactured locally. This box will enable LMIC surgeons to develop the fundamental skills necessary to perform laparoscopy and improve surgical patient outcomes. The developed box trainer will form the foundation of a hybrid laparoscopy training course to be facilitated by local surgical and medical educators.,

Establishing a Long-Term Behavioral and Ecological Monitoring Research Program in Queen Elizabeth Conservation Area
REFNo: NS841ES
This research aims to explore several critical issues affecting savannah ecosystems:
1. Impact of Macro and Microplastics on Wildlife: Plastic pollution is an emerging threat to wildlife health in savannah ecosystems. Both macroplastics and microplastics can cause physical harm, ingestion issues, and toxicological effects in wildlife, disrupting health, reproduction, and survival rates.
2. Sources of Plastic Pollution: Identifying and understanding the critical sources of plastic pollution within and between communities is essential. This includes examining local waste management practices, the role of tourism, and community awareness and behaviors regarding plastic use and disposal.
3. Animal Movement Patterns and Ecological Impact: Changes in animal movement patterns, driven by factors such as habitat fragmentation, climate change, and human disturbances, can significantly affect feeding ecology and population dynamics of predators, prey, and other fauna. Understanding these changes is vital for predicting ecological outcomes and managing wildlife populations.
4. Bush Encroachment Patterns and Drivers: Bush encroachment, the process where woody plants invade grassland areas, alters the structure and function of savannah ecosystems. This study will characterize the patterns of bush encroachment and investigate the factors driving these changes in different zones of the park, such as fire regimes, grazing pressure, and climatic variables.
5. Disease Outbreaks and Pathogen Evolution: Disease outbreaks, including anthrax, pose a significant threat to wildlife populations. This research will focus on understanding the patterns of these outbreaks, how pathogens are evolving, and predicting future impacts on wildlife health and ecosystem stability.

"New kids on the block”? Youth environmental engagement and Fridays for Future. An intersectional and global perspective
REFNo: SS3040ES
This new environmental youth engagement as a young and quickly developing movement has not received in-depth academic attention, neither in the field of youth studies nor in social movement studies, especially not youth engagement in the Global South (see below). The motives of youth and their particular understandings of engagement remain insufficiently investigated. In addition, there is increasing criticism of youth environmental activism, namely that FFF is at least in Europe ‘white’ and supported by a well-educated middle-class elite leading to the accusation that it reproduces hierarchies (see below). However, there are hardly any academic studies that examine privileges, hierarchies and discrimination within FFF from an intersectional perspective. In order to respond to these research gaps an intersectional perspective is used to understand the motives and activism of youth in Austria, Bangladesh and Uganda and thereby their global interrelatedness. This scientifically necessary and timely research is also politically relevant since youth are acting at the forefront of environmental movements. In addition, youth engagement participants have become increasingly integrated into the international politics of the UN and are in dialogue with politicians. It can be argued further that youth engagement is not ‘just’ a certain stage of life but that it lays the foundation for transformation processes (Harré 2016; Riemer et al. 2016). Young advocates are frequently those taking up important political and social leadership in the future due to their interest and experience of advocacy (Giugni 1998; Leistner 2018): They are a “cohort of citizens who will be active participants in democracy” (Fischer 2019, 430).
Because a new youth activism emerged which is unique due to its global scope and the low average age new scientific perspectives are needed to analyse this phenomenon: A synthesis of youth and civil society studies combined with intersectionality and a comparative case study design offer an original analytical framework. This framework will provide in-depth knowledge on context-specific differences of youth engagement in Austria, Bangladesh and Uganda and commonalities of global youth activism and its activism towards ecological transformation. This research is needed scientifically because FFF is one of the major civil society players in global environmental politics and in manifold national contexts.
