“Performance of Mergers of mobile telecommunication operators in Uganda.: Does the management of employees’ expectations matter in influencing performance.” Ref No. MUST-2022-614
REFNo: SS1493ES

The general objective of this study is to examine the extent to which the management of a combination of employee communication and employee participation, herein referred to as employees’ expectations, influence post-merger and acquisition performance of mobile telecommunication operators in Uganda.
Specific objectives of the study
1. To determine the effect of management of employee communication on post- merger and acquisition performance of mobile telecommunication operators in Uganda.
2. To determine the effect of management of employee participation on post- merger and acquisition performance of mobile telecommunication operators in Uganda.
3. To establish the extent to which employee satisfaction affects the relationship between management of employee communication and post-merger and acquisition performance of mobile telecommunication operators in Uganda.
4. To establish the extent to which employee satisfaction affects the relationship between management of employee participation and post-merger and acquisition performance of the mobile telecommunication operators in Uganda.

Characterization of protein and glycan epitopes recognised following controlled human infection with Schistosoma mansoni in an endemic population (SmCHI-Epitope)
REFNo: HS2072ES

The aim is to identify candidate molecules (proteins and peptide or glycans) associated with protection against controlled human infection with Schistosoma mansoni in an endemic population. This study will investigate
1. antibody responses to whole recombinant proteins and peptide epitopes of surface- exposed and secreted proteins of S. mansoni after CHI-S and relate this to whether volunteers get infected or not following exposure to CHI-S
2. specific anti-glycan antibody responses after CHI-S and relate this to whether they get infected or not following exposure to CHI-S

Mapping the Cotton Boom in Eastern Uganda c 1910-1970: Temporal and Spatial Patterns and Economic Legacies
REFNo: SS1514ES

Main objective: the creation of a geocoded database of cotton ginneries in Uganda from the establishment of the first ginnery in 1904 until today



Specific objectives:

1. map the spatial distribution and characteristics of cotton ginneries in Uganda over the period 1904 until 2022 Delete

2. Link geographical variables such as soil quality, terrain ruggedness, rainfall patterns, cotton suitability, and suitability for other crops, tsetse prevalence and distance to waterbodies to the spread of ginneries, conceptualized as the likelihood that a grid-cell with specific characteristics is ‘treated’ with the appearance and disappearance of a ginnery. Delete

3. Link ‘treatment’ with ginneries to contemporary living standards and livelihood strategies today: did historical proximity to a cotton ginnery have long-term effects on the level of income, the sources of income (agricultural and non-agricultural) and agricultural productivity?
