Modeling and analysis of taeniasis and cysticercosis transmission dynamics in humans, pigs and cattle by Joshua, A. Mwasunda, Jacob I, Irunde, Damian, Kajunguri, Dmitry, Kuznetsov

“…In this case, other parameters with negative sensitivity indices such as death rate of taenia eggs and proportions of unconsumed infected beef and pork can be considered for disease control. Generally, to control the diseases, more efforts should be made directed to reducing the number of humans who have taeniasis and defecate in the open environment. …”

On Student Access and Equity in a Reforming University: by Kwesiga, Joy Constance

“…This paper examines issues of access and equity in the context of the far-ranging reforms that have been taking place at Makerere University and in the Ugandan higher education system generally since the early 1990s. The analysis attempts to map out the contours of student access over time, outlining the major fault lines in student diversities which include, among others, location, class and gender, as well as the state (university) response to these diversities in the context of market based reforms. …”

Microbiome turnover during offspring development varies with maternal care, but not moult, in a hemimetabolous insect by Cheutin, Marie-Charlotte, Boucicot, Manon, Meunier, Joël

“…Overall, these results provide new insights into our understanding of the (in)stability of the prokaryotic microbiome in hemimetabolous insects and its independence from moult. More generally, they question the role of microbiome acquisition through maternal care in maintaining family life in species where this behaviour is facultative.…”
