Postmortem study on patients with neuropsychiatric manifestations of unknown etiology, nodding syndrome, and other forms of epilepsy who died in Gulu, Kitgum, Lamwo and Pader
REFNo: HS64ES
• Use postmortem examination to determine cause of death in a selected study population.
• Use histopathology to describe the post-mortem findings of individuals who die of neuropsychiatric manifestations of unknown origin, NS and other forms of epilepsy in villages with high epilepsy prevalence in Gulu, Kitgum, Lamwo and Pader.

REFNo: HS71ES
To evaluate the feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness of proven household air pollution reduction interventions in households using traditional way of cooking and heating methods in selected communities in four countries of Uganda, Vietnam, the Kyrgyz Republic and Greece. Research questions will be:
1. What is the feasibility and acceptability of clean cooking and heating interventions compared to traditional cooking and heating?
2. What is the effectiveness of a clean cooking intervention on health outcomes?
3. What is the effectiveness of household air pollution reduction on health outcomes?

Parasite occurrence and genetic relatedness in overlapping populations of Mountain Gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei), livestock, and the Batwa community in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (BINP), Uganda
REFNo: NS22ES
1. To collect faecal samples for analysis, using light microscopy to identify intestinal helminth eggs and PCR for protozoan diagnosis.
2. Use targeted PCR and amplicon sequencing to confirm parasite identity and genotype those species detected, allowing for investigation into cross-host species transmission.
3. Focus on the occurrence and genetic diversity of Entamoeba species, comparing to existing data which defines the Entamoeba infecting mountain gorilla, livestock and humans in BINP in 2015, exploring changes in prevalence and diversity.

Utilizing Information Communication Technology (ICT) to prevent violence against children in and around schools.
REFNo: SS108ES
The general research purpose is understanding the utilization of ICT in preventing violence against children in and around schools and developing a model that can be applied by agencies to prevent violence against children.
Specific objectives:
1.Establish the role of ICT in driving, sustaining and mitigating behavior that contributes to violence against children in and around schools
2.Examine the benefits of ICT use to prevent violence against children specifically for knowledge generation and transfer, capabilities enhancement and social enabler
3.Establish when and how ICT - enabled child sexual violence and exploitation starts, is maintained and perpetuated in and around schools.
4.Examine the inter-related constraints to ICT utilization to prevent violence against specifically social cultural, infrastructural, economic and technological.
5.Find out how ICT (telephone sms, whatsapp, etc.) is promoting values and influencing ICT that can prevent violence against children
6.Suggest the strategies and actions that can be adopted by formal ( law enforcement, teachers, social workers) and non-formal ( children, families, religious, traditional leaders ) actors to better address ICT enabled child sexual abuse and exploitation
