 Bridges2Scale: Testing Implementation Strategies for an intervention among young people affected by AIDS
REFNo: SS2488ES

Bridges2Scale will use a two-arm Hybrid III effectiveness-implementation cluster randomized clinical trial, where we will compare two multifaceted strategies (standard vs. enhanced) for scaling the Bridges interventions (consisting of financial literacy training, peer mentorship, family income-generating , and youth development accounts). The standard implementation strategy has been applied in our prior and ongoing studies and involves educational meetings that prepare staff members to deliver Bridges with minimal disruption to site workflow. This will be compared to an enhanced strategy that will be developed using Implementation Mapping, a systematic protocol for developing implementation strategies using theory, evidence, and stakeholder input. Aim 1: Compare the implementation effectiveness of the standard implementation strategy vs. an enhanced implementation strategy. Aim 2: Determine the clinical effectiveness of Bridges implemented via a standard vs. enhanced implementation strategy. Aim 3: Explore implementation processes, mechanisms, and determinants. Aim 4: Compare the cost and cost-effectiveness of the two implementation strategies.

Assessing the Role of Maternal Social Network Inheritance in the Social Integration of Juvenile Vervet Monkeys (Chlorocebus pygerythrus)
REFNo: NS802ES

I aim to answer the questions: how do maternal dominance rank, age, social network position, and mother-offspring proximity relate to the proximity and grooming networks of their juveniles? Does this differ by offspring sex and/or age?
I hypothesized that maternal social network inheritance occurs and differs by sex and age in vervet monkeys because of (1) mother-offspring proximity, (2) influences of maternal dominance rank and age, (3) patterns of youngest ascendency of female dominance rank in vervets, and (4) female philopatry.

There will be an opportunity for: student and staff mobility, transfer of credits, joint student and staff research and joint supervision. (Work Package 2).

3. Strengthen collaboration with stakeholders so that efforts of promoting gender equality can be felt in the community. (Through collaboration with and mutual capacity building, short term courses will be developed to meet the needs of the civil society, graduate students will work with civil society to enrich the theory with practice - NGOs and private actors with the aim of enriching community understanding and application of gender knowledge, concepts and good gender practices for development). (Work Package 3).

4. Plan for interaction across programs and contexts (understanding gender relations as contextual and influenced by culture) This will be a pillar in the collaborative –comparative research and publication, as well as action research. Both staff and students in UiA, UDSM and Mak will undertake research under themes. It will contribute to knowledge production on gender relations, gendered experiences across context (Work Package 4)

 Behavioural Syntactics: the emergence of chimpanzee gestural capacities through adaptations for locomotion, sleep, and social co-ordination.
REFNo: NS735ES

Hypothesis 1: climbing and nest building shaped chimpanzees’ bodies and minds in ways that were later exapted for their unique gestural communication.
Prediction 1a) The rapid expansion in the great ape gestural repertoire was founded on a greater range of available movement selected for in climbing/nest building.
a. If so, then we should see the use of specific hand/arm movements in climbing and nest building that are available to great apes, but not small apes and other primates
b. If so, then we should see those movements present in great ape gestures
Prediction 1b) The basic ability to plan a sequence of actions, with hierarchically structured sections, emerged in the (relatively) simple behaviour of climbing and nest building, and was subsequently exapted/refined for food processing and then communication.
a. If so, then nest building and climbing should show sequences of motor actions that are planned from start to finish with recurred/recursive sections within them
b. If so, then we would see flexible programs of motor actions adapted to the task from the outset.

Hypothesis 2: rhythmic patterning and co-ordination of social behaviour provides a mechanism for social cohesion in chimpanzees.
Prediction 2a) The rhythm and patterning of social touch in chimpanzee grooming will show overlap with the stroke patterns that promote oxytocin release in human social touch.
Prediction 2b) Chimpanzees will show increased co-ordination in locomotory activities (e.g., walking and climbing) when engaged in activities where social cohesion is beneficial (e.g., patrolling).

Feasibility of setting up solar powered oxygen supply in Rukungiri District, Uganda and in Butembo, DRC
REFNo: HS3587ES

Main Objective
This proposal seeks to demonstrate the feasibility of solar powered oxygen cylinder filling stations to supply medical oxygen to health facilities in Rukungiri District, Uganda and in Butembo, DRC.

Specific Aims
Describe the oxygen needs (survey of oxygen demand) and willingness-to-pay (market survey) at 14 medical facilities in Rukungiri District, Uganda, and 95 facilities in Butembo, DRC.
a. Specific: The aim is narrowly defined to include cylinder demand and price point.
b. Measurable: Survey data will measure cylinder need at each facility and price point (willingness to pay).
c. Achievable: The 14 sites in Uganda and 95 sites in DRC. We anticipate this survey will take approximately 30 minutes to complete, with on-site interview. Thus, the aim is achievable.
d. Relevant: These data are important for understanding the feasibility of supplying cylinders from a solar powered oxygen filling station.
e. Time-bound: Once approved, the study is anticipated to take 3 to 6 months to complete data collection. Data analysis and write-up of results is anticipated to take another 6 months.
2. Evaluate if solar powered cylinder filling is a feasible model to improve oxygen access.
a. Specific: The aim is narrowly defined to test the feasibility of the proposed cylinder filling stations.
b. Measurable: In order to be feasible, the costs and revenues need to be defined. These will be directly measured (recorded) based on the project activities (cylinder sales, equipment procurement).
c. Achievable: With partners (LeanMed), the cylinder filling stations can be implemented. Thereafter, the evaluation will be achievable.
d. Relevant: These data are important for understanding the real-world implementation of solar powered oxygen filling stations.
e. Time-bound: Once the study is approved and equipment is shipped and installed, we will evaluate project costs and revenues over a well-defined 12-month period.

Hypothesis
The working hypothesis is that solar powered oxygen filling stations are feasible and can generate revenue to maintain the ongoing provision of oxygen in areas where access is limited.

 Etiological role of parasitic exposure and familial susceptibility in nodding syndrome- related epilepsies
REFNo: HS3940ES

The central aim of this study is to investigate if families with nodding syndrome (NS) share common electrophysiological and clinical features forming a distinct familial epilepsy syndrome and if this phenotype is conferred by parasite, Onchocerca volvulus (OV)-associated hu-Leiomodin-1 antibodies in genetically susceptible individuals. This project provides a unique opportunity to mechanistically understand how the onchocerca parasite exposure modifies the risk for epilepsy among susceptible individuals.
Aim1: Characterize the epilepsy sub-phenotypes that aggregate within the NS-affected families. We hypothesize that a common electroclinical feature forms a distinct NS-associated familial syndrome.
Aim 2: Determine if distinct genetic polymorphism in the human host is associated with the pathogenesis of NS-and related epilepsies. Whole-exome/genome sequencing will be performed to test whether a genetic variant of major effect size co-segregates with NS and related epilepsies.
Aim 3: Evaluate the relationship between exposure to OV-associated Hu-leiomodin-1 antibody and host susceptibility that jointly confers risk for NS-and related epilepsies. We will test the hypothesis that OV -associated Hu-Leiomodin-1 antibodies in genetically susceptible individuals cause NS- related epilepsies.
