Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon exposures and dietary risk of Esophageal squamous cell cancer in southwestern Uganda
REFNo: HS37ES
1) To evaluate biomass fuel exposure as an ESCC risk factor by comparing personal carbon monoxide exposure among ESCC patients to that of age and gender matched controls with normal esophageal epithelia. We hypothesize that individuals with ESCC have greater exposure to biomass fuel compared to matched age and gender controls. \r\n\r\n2) To assess food preparation methods and dietary patterns as risk factors for ESCC in southwestern Uganda. We hypothesize that patients with ESCC have unique food preparation methods and consumed foods with high polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons content compared with age and gender-matched controls with normal esophageal epithelia.\r\n

Utilization of SMS Messaging Services to Improve Retention in Care of HIV-Infected Individuals in Uganda Short Title: SMS-2-Retain (S2R)
REFNo: SS62ES
The objective of the study is to determine if mobile health (mHealth) technology (text/voice-messaging services) is an effective method of improving retention in care for newly diagnosed HIV-infected individuals enrolling into care, as compared to standard of care. This is a pilot, non-blinded, randomized trial of mobile health implementation into routine HIV care. This pilot trial will be focusing on 1) two-week retention in care of all HIV-infected participants from enrollment and followed by 2) participants who have been found to have cryptococcal antigenemia, a population of participants most at risk for early morbidity and mortality.

Situating Legitimacy: Encounters between State-Based and Local Fisheries Lifeworlds in Uganda
REFNo: SS48ES
Questions of how to design successful environmental management systems have motivated research in anthropology, political geography and international relations for decades. To the extent that ‘success’ depends on compliance, this raises a fundamental question: When and why do people comply with regulations governing the commons? I address this issue from a specific angle: Why do the same natural management policies fail in some spaces, while they succeed in others? Using the exemplifying case of fisheries management in Uganda, I argue that variance in compliance rates with state policies can be understood by studying the constitution and interaction of different lifeworlds and the effects of such encounters on the perceived cultural legitimacy of state policies in specific spaces. Existing studies suggest that if state-based lifeworlds are incongruent with local fisheries lifeworlds, the perceived cultural legitimacy of, as well as compliance rates with, government policies in these spaces are low.
