We are Sons and Daughter of Bwoc: Refusal and Land Rights Protections in Rural Post-Conflict Acoliland, Northern Uganda.
REFNo: SS112ES
To understand: What do processes involved in writing a clan-based non-profit foundation’s constitution (in a previously oral tradition of indigenous governance) do for relatedness in the post-conflict, land-pressured context? After it is written, and circulated, what does the document do for relatedness in context? How does/can it mediate both between sons and daughters of the clan, and between clan members, National Government, and foreign companies, as examples? And finally, how do real and perceived land pressures impact ideas and practices of relatedness, and thus social repairing and particular notions of refusal, through time.

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.

New approaches for the diagnosis of Kaposi's sarcoma
REFNo: HS28ES
To evaluate two novel diagnostic approaches for KS that may be eventually deployed with portable, point-of-care techniques. One approach features confocal microscopy and the other approach uses nucleic acid amplification. We shall compare these new approaches with the gold standard of histology from a traditional skin punch biopsy to determine the sensitivity and specificity of each new approach.

Mechanisms of Immune Resistance to Mycobacterium tuberculosis
REFNo: HS3165ES
Aims: In this study, we will immuno-phenotype airway microbiome signatures as innate, Th1, Th2, Th17, or Treg-inducing using a chronic airway inflammation population. We will then determine the association between airway microbiome, M.tb-specific IFN-gamma responses, and M.tb burden based on GeneXpert status to underpin immune protective microbial signatures. Finally, we will validate identified immune-protective microbial signatures as a proxy for IFN-gamma reactivity and TB immune protection in a separate cohort of persistently QFT-negative individuals compared to household LTBI controls.
