Tungiasis is an important but highly neglected cause of morbidity in resource-poor communities Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa. Data upon which implementation control measures can be based are scarce. Before piloting integrated tungiasis program three parishes Napak district, Uganda, a cross-sectional survey involving the systematic examination humans domestic mammals was implemented to establish occurrence patterns tungiasis. The study population 5482 residents, 4035 (73.6%)...

The study objective was assess tungiasis-related its translation into practices rural highly endemic setting Karamoja, Northeastern Uganda. We applied mixed-methods design on household community level. A semi-quantitative questionnaire knowledge,...
Abstract Die Entwicklung von Ultrahochleistungsbeton eröffnet zahlreiche neue Anwendungs‐ und Konstruktionsmöglichkeiten. Insbesondere im Verbundbau lassen sich die Werkstoffe Stahl UHPC gemäß ihren materialspezifischen Vorteilen optimal kombinieren. Erforschung wird in dem der DFG initiierten Schwerpunktprogramm SPP 1182 vorangetrieben. Im Zuge dieses Programms werden einem Projekt an TU Kaiserslautern filigrane Verbundträger mit dünnen UHPC‐Gurten neu entwickelten Verbundmittel untersucht....
