Am I too dirty to touch my baby? Providers’ and users’ perceptions of a hand hygiene intervention in the neonatal period: A Qualitative study in Eastern Uganda
REFNo: HS2240ES
Objectives:
Main Objective
1. Explore the health workers’ and household members’ perceptions of the BabyGel intervention.
Specific Objectives
1. Explore how the ABHR intervention was perceived by adult household members; what aspects of the intervention as indcated were seen as barriers and facilitating during the 3 months follow-up.
2. Inquire the health workers’ experiences providing the BabyGel training, and aspects of the training and intervention as a whole that they perceived as helping or hindering good ABHR use in households, and its scalability.

Computer-aided point-of-care ultrasound for TB active case finding
(POCUS-TB)
REFNo: HS2518ES
The overall goal of this study is to develop an integrated point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS)-based computer-aided decision support system that will meet or exceed the minimum target performance criteria of a triage test for pulmonary TB.
Primary objectives:
1. Generate a high-quality annotated POCUS dataset and optimized POCUS scanning protocol for TB screening across the spectrum of early to advanced infection.
2. Develop a computer decision support algorithm for POCUS-based detection of TB with the integration of clinical and epidemiologic TB risk variables.

Assessing freshwater fish response to deforestation-induced warming
REFNo: NS564ES
The broad goal of this project is to understand the effects of deforestation on freshwater fishes. The project will specifically explore the effects of deforestation on the behaviour, ecophysiology, and morphology of fishes by comparing populations of a cyprinid fish that occur both on forested and deforested streams.

GENETIC, PHENOTYPIC AND PHYLOGEOGRAPHICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF LIBERICA COFFEE
REFNo: A294ES
1) To understand the genetic diversity of Liberica coffee (across its natural range and in cultivation), and its correspondence to physical features (morphology), chemistry (data already available) and sensory characteristics (some data already available).
2) Elucidate patterns of genetic diversity across cultivated and wild C. liberica in Uganda.
3) Place cultivated Ugandan genotypes within a country-wide and African-wide perspective. In particular we will focus on the origin of farmed Liberica in Uganda: to ascertain whether they are from an indigenous source (i.e. one of the two forest locations in Uganda where this species has been recorded), or not. Farmers in Uganda say that this coffee travelled with previous generations from the forest. National and regional identity will be an asset for the marketing and development of Liberica-excelsa (kisansa coffee).
4) Propose a new, and much-needed, intraspecific classification for C. liberica.

REFNo: SS1769ES
To understand how tension, conflict and coalescing between alternative sources and rationalities of sense-making manifest in the enacted citizenship that emerges among the urban residents in times of uncertainties,To analyse the sources of authority urban residents draw upon to make sense of Covid-19, and to decide between responses of compliance with and resistance to the pandemic measures such as SOPs, lockdowns, and vaccines,To explore the diverse ways of coping and seeking help urban residents affected by the Covid-19 restrictions use to survive and secure their livelihoods,To investigate experiences of enacted citizenship in the times of uncertainty,
