…demand for health services. Solution This innovative project evaluated the feasibility of using locally-made videos by local community groups in local languages, as a channel for behaviour change to improve maternal, neonatal and child health among rural communities in Eastern Uganda. These videos were used to communicate policy-related messages to rural, semi-literate postnatal and pregnant…

…the Digital Library has the right resources to answer questions (87.8 % agreement); can help make more decisions while with the patient (89.8% agreement) and can provide answers to change the plan the provider had for patient care (67.3% agreement). Finally, 67.4% of healthcare workers who used the Digital Library prototype expressed an interest in purchasing the…

…slide was proportional to the analyte concentration in the sample. The prototype colour sensor units were used to measure a series of glucose standards, by quantifying the change in colour intensities produced on slides when samples were applied. With glucose concentrations ranging from 40.0 to 400.0 mg/dL, the data showed that the intensity of the…

…grass. A total of 5,203 and 3,897 female Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes were collected at baseline and at the end of the intervention respectively, which showed a significant change in the number of mosquito bites in the houses after the intervention. After dissection, none of the captured mosquitos had filarial worms. The team would like to…

…were introduced.  This showed that the M. tuberculosis genes can functionally substitute for the E. coli genes.  Establishing this system will allow the use of directed evolution to change M. tuberculosis genes into temperature-sensitive forms that can be used to engineer M. tuberculosis strains to temperature-sensitivity. The project was not completed due to time constraints, but…

…YPHE program and identified goals of implementing the program into select schools in their districts over the next five years. Teachers stated that they were going to change some of their teaching strategies to include inductive and participatory learning approaches, similar to those employed in the YPHE training program. The team intends to monitor, support…

…image) storing (named WCE Logger) and image viewing and analysis (WCE Viewer). WCE Logger is used to record data and as a real-time viewer. A user can change image size, lighting modes and other parameters of the capsule pill in real-time. In the WCE Viewer, a user can review and examine the captured images offline. Both…

…or negative) were related to the amount of An. arabiensis habitat in a two-kilometer neighborhood. The resulting patterns of malaria risk and, in particular, the pattern of change in malaria risk pre- and post-intervention, are consistent with what researchers in the field have observed. Having demonstrated the ability of Maxent habitat maps to predict malaria…

…put the test paper into a small container of the contaminated water; then, after some time, take the paper out and the colour on the paper will change. At the moment, the limit of detection for the device is ~70 ppb, which is higher than the World Health Organization’s threshold of 10 ppb. Also, the…

…proposed using an exothermic chemical reaction to generate the three required temperatures on individual heating surfaces, and maintaining the same temperature on each heating surface using phase change materials (PCMs) as a heat sink. A spring mechanical system that would repeatedly move the sample onto each heating surface would also need to be developed, as…
