Smallholder Farmers’ Returns and Learning from Subsidized Inputs in Uganda
REFNo: SS145ES
The Government of Uganda is launching an agricultural input subsidy program through an electronic voucher and we have the opportunity to study its first implementation phase (5,000 households) and provide lessons for scaling up the full program (450,000 households) by evaluating, inter alia, how different subsidy schemes affect the spread of technology to poor households and their networks and women farmers and their networks.

Dual articulation in the communication system of chimpanzees
REFNo: NS47ES
The emergence of combinatoriality (phonology and syntax) in human language represents one of the key evolutionary transitions in life (Maynard Smith & Szathmary 1995). Despite its significance, we know very little regarding how unique this capacity is to humans or the evolutionary progression of this trait. By searching for core features of language, such as its combinatoriality, in the communication systems of closely related species to humans, particularly the primates, it is possible to shed light on whether the components of language are de novo evolved traits in humans or whether they have their origins rooted in the primate lineage.
With this project, I aim to shed light on how unique combinatorics is to human language through empirically investigating the presence of linguistic forms of phonology and syntax in our closest living relative, the chimpanzee.

REFNo: HS151ES
STUDY OBJECTIVES
General objective
To assess prescription practices and use of laboratory parameters to monitor efficacy and toxicity of ART among HIV patients (15 years and above) at ART clinic in Butabika hospital.
1.5.2 Specific objectives

GAME CHANGERS: A PILOT INTERVENTION TO EMPOWER HIV CLIENTS AS PREVENTION ADVOCATES IN UGANDA (PHASE 2)
REFNo: SS166ES
Primary objectives include: Assessing preliminary intervention effects on:
a) protective behavior of the HIV-positive clients (condom use, partner concurrency/number of partners, engagement in HIV care, ART adherence)
b) diffusion of prevention messages across the network, as assessed by the content and extent of communication with network members about protective behaviors (condom use, partner concurrency/number of partners, HIV testing, engagement in HIV care, circumcision), HIV disclosure, and HIV stigma

A global registry to study the demographics, socioeconomic and clinical factors, etiologies, pathophysiology, management, barriers to care, and outcomes of heart failure patients
REFNo: HS144ES
Study 1. Estimate the incident rate of outcomes in HF patients in world
Objectives regions and overall, and assess social and lifestyle factors
(demographics, socioeconomic variables, clinical risk factors, diet,
medication use, and healthâ€related quality of life), etiologies and
variations in treatment patterns that might influence mortality and
morbidity.
2. Describe determinants of different HF phenotypes (HFpEF, HFrEF,
HF due to valvular disease, ALVD) in these world regions, and their
management and outcomes.
Gâ€CHF Protocol Page 3 2016â€09â€26
Version 1.2
3. Describe the potential role of biomarkers (BNP/NTâ€proBNP and
troponin, as available), related genetic determinants, and their
relation to clinical factors, treatments, and type of HF
4. Assess nonâ€cardiac coâ€morbidities at enrolment, their incidence
during the study and how they influence outcomes from both
cardiovascular and nonâ€cardiovascular mortality and morbidity.
5. In a subâ€study of approximately 4000â€5000 patients, perform
measures of frailty, cognitive and lung function, mental health,
adherence to medication, and dietary assessment, with collection of
blood and urine samples for central analysis, to further understand
the pathophysiologic changes in HF and their relation to outcomes.
6. Describe patient and system barriers to HF care in a global HF
population.

Pant-hoot call in immature chimpanzees
REFNo: NS40ES
We will describe the age at which pant-hoot production starts. We will examine the order in which the four phases of the pant-hoot call develop. For example: is development sequential with the order of the final pant-hoot call, or do later phases (the climax) develop before early ones. We will investigate at what point multiple elements are produced within a call, and whether the sex differences seen in the pant-hoot calls of adults are also seen during development.

Locating disengaged HIV positive women on Option B+ and ascertainment of outcomes among their infants
REFNo: HS175ES
1. To describe the pregnancy outcomes and HIV care status among women (and their exposed infants) who initiate Option B+
2. To correct 6 week and 18 month estimates of MTCT through tracing of a random sample of HIV positive women who initiated Option B+ during pregnancy and disengaged from care.
3. To identify factors associated with HIV sero-positivity among infants born to women initiated on Option B+.
4. To establish the frequency of Multiclass Resistance among HIV positive infants born to women initiated on Option B+
5. To estimate the proportion of disengaged women with viral failure and correct estimates of viral suppression (3 rd UN 90 goal) in the facilities.
