Leveraging Molecular Technologies to Improve Diagnosis and Management of Pediatric Acute Respiratory Illness in Resource-Constrained Settings.
REFNo: HS4539ES
Refine existing host immune response classifiers for the differentiation of bacterial and viral causes of febrile ARI among children in Uganda. Determine the etiology of febrile ARI episodes using a diagnostic assessment that includes physician adjudication and is augmented by pathogen metagenomics. Develop and internally validate a host immune response signature that differentiates between causes of pediatric ARI in Uganda using previously identified gene transcripts. Develop novel clinical algorithms for pediatric ARI to inform antibiotic treatment decisions ,The objective of this proposal is to develop novel clinical algorithms for pediatric febrile ARI in sub-Saharan Africa to identify children with bacterial illness. To augment samples collected during a previous cohort study (MUST REC 14/03-19) to achieve sufficient sample size to develop a host gene expression signature that differentiates between viral and bacterial ARI, we will enroll 160 children presenting to St. Pauls Health Center IV with ARI and 20 healthy controls.,

Pressure to Hire, Technology Adoption, and Productivity:
Experimental Evidence from Uganda
REFNo: SS2013ES
1. The project aims at contributing to several strands of the literature. First, an emerging literature
hasshown how social- and self-image concerns affect the labor market through changesin the labor
supply
2. Our evidence suggests that the reputational concerns associated to hiring and technology
adoption decisions are induced by resource-sharing practices with kin and neighbors.
3. Finally, our work links to the literature on cross-country differences in productivity. Lewis et al.
(1954) observed that developing economies have a large “traditional sector” where marginal
productivity is low and where workers may be compensated above their marginal product through
informal arrangements (see Gollin (2014) for a recent discussion). When wages do not equal
marginal product, workers may be employed in relatively less-productive tasks, resulting in
misallocations. Gollinetal
