To evaluate safety and efficacy of therapeutic vaccination with chimpanzee adenovirus (ChAdV)- and poxvirus modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA)-vectored vaccines in a sequential regimen with the Toll-like Receptor 7 (TLR7) agonist vesatolimod (VES) and two broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) in individuals with HIV-1 who started suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART) during acute HIV-1.

To address the core problem of insufficient safe blood supply for the country, targeting the lowest risk and most receptive population for consistent donation can be successful. The 2018 population census shows that the total population aged 15 to 24 is 3,687,521 out of which 1,905,165 (52%) are males and 17% (645,000/ 3,687,521) live in urban areas clearly showing the large blood donation potential for the country (National Statistical Office, 2019). The two studies conducted in the initial Year 1 and Year 2 of the Malawi BLOODSAFE Project (2020-2022) have provided rich information on temporal and geographical patterns of blood donation and transfusion transmissible infection as well as barriers and facilitators to blood donation. Using this information, we now propose to develop a comprehensive integrated school-based and post-school donation clubs to serve as a foundation that will encourage lifelong donation and improve the supply of safe blood in Malawi.

The primary objective of this study is to document epidemiological and ecological trends in both outpatient and inpatient cases of ARI in Kasese District in southwestern Uganda.

This study seeks to understand how public health leaders and more fully take into account the influence of American Individualism on public health practice. The values and ethics of public health as a discipline is at odds with the powerful and prominent cultural narrative of American Individualism. This misalignment is weakens the population level aim of public health and prioritizes individual freedom and ideas above the needs of the whole public. But American Individualism is normalized and permanent part of how Americans understand the world. Public health leaders must better engage, communicate, and act within the context of American Individualism, even though it does not align with there approach to health and health improvement.

Students' preconceptions about Black Holes (BHs) have yet to be rigorously documented in an academic capacity, and as such there is currently no universal resource available to inform instructors as to how to best lead instruction on BH's and BH related topics. We hope to create a BH concept survey in order to collect data concerning student preconceptions about BHs and Relativity. This data will be analyzed to determine what topics are most important to address in University level Intro Astronomy courses. This will allow for construction of a BH/Relativity lesson plan that could then be applied at multiple Universities.
