Conservation science of African Grey Parrot
REFNo: NS744ES
African Grey Parrot is endangered bird species. Their physiological and genetic characteristics must be known for the better conservation. As Chubu University and UWEC start the joint conservation project for African Grey Parrot with the finance from Japanese goverment (Japan International Cooperation Agency, JICA). We focus on the role of zoo in the ex-situ African Grey Parrot conservation in which development of the nutrition science, the breeding science, the behavior science, and the veterinary science toward this particular species are essential for the future success of ex-situ conservation.

Antenatal syphilis testing in central Uganda - Exploring provider-level factors affecting maternal syphilis testing coverage
REFNo: HS6671ES
1. Mapping the current body of literature of syphilis testing in ANC services.This will allow us to obtain an overview on the current state of syphilis testing among pregnant women in ANC services in Uganda.
2. Understanding impeding and facilitating factors of syphilis testing in ANC services.
Investigating providers` (Health Care Workers (HCW), midwives, nurses and physicians) knowledge of syphilis, and their experiences, perceptions, ideas and interest in syphilis testing will be essential to gain deeper understanding of these factors. Additionally, providers’ interest and ideas on engaging partners in antenatal syphilis testing will be explored to address the issue of re-infection in pregnant women. To gain an overview of a pregnant woman’s journey through the clinic, paying particular attention to how syphilis screening fits into antenatal care clinic observations will be conducted.
3. Exploring syphilis self-testing as a novel syphilis testing strategy in ANC services.
Investigating policy makers`, providers’ and pregnant women’s understanding and interest in the use of syphilis self-testing will be investigated. Whether the use of secondary distribution of self-test kits to partners of pregnant women to enhance partner engagement may be an acceptable approach among pregnant women will be also examined.
