Modular Wireless Patient Monitoring System (MWPMS) Among a Subset of Patients Enrolled in an Observational Study of Sepsis in Uganda
REFNo: HS1687ES

At the FPRRH study site in Uganda, investigators will incorporate an assessment of the utility of a novel Modular Wireless Patient Monitoring System (MWPMS), supported by personalized data analytics, to provide a continuous, objective measure of physiological status in patients with sepsis. We aim to demonstrate correlation with manually collected vital signs. We also aim to identify specific features or combinations of features measured via MWPMS that predict 28-day mortality. This is a sub-study which will be incorporated in the main protocol observing sepsis patients hospitalized in Uganda

The socioeconomic impact of floriculture industry on the livelihoods of communities hosting flower farms in Uganda
REFNo: SS1004ES

Main Objective
The main aim of this study is to examine the socio-economic impact of flower farm projects on the livelihoods of their host communities.

Specific Objectives
Specifically, the study will have the following objectives and associated research questions;
To find out how the financial reward (wages) has contributed in changing the livelihood of flower farm workers from the time they joined the flower farm.

To examine the extent by which flower farms have contributed to the improvement of the basic infrastructure and producer goods needed to support people’s livelihoods in their host communities.
To find out how the farms are prepared to overcome the challenges of environmental degradation and human abuse (as witnessed in workers’ exposure to hazardous agrochemicals in other countries) in order to improve people’s livelihoods.
