Participatory research for development to upgrade smallholder pig value chai...ILRI
Little has been documented about how smallholder pig value chains operate in Uganda, except that pork production and consumption have exploded over the past three decades, and 70% of the pigs are in the hands of smallholder farmers, many of them women. Who are the actors in the current system? What are input and output channels? Who benefits and who bears economic health risks? Which problems do the various actors face, how do they deal with them and can these problems provide opportunities?
This program aims to improve the livelihoods of smallholder pig value chain actors in Uganda by showcasing how existing livestock value chains can be upgraded for the benefit of all actors in the system, especially the many poor.

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.

Gender in Smallholder Pig Value Chains—ILRI approach Uganda
1. Gender in Smallholder Pig Value Chains—ILRI approach Uganda
UNDP/FAO Training on Gender Mainstreaming for Climate Change
Adaptation, Mukono, 9–12 May 2017
Rosemirta Birungi and Emily Ouma
2. Why gender focus on pig value chains in Uganda?
• Pigs are a dynamic and rapidly growing sub-
sector in Uganda.
• In the past three decades pig population
increased from 0.19 to 3.2 million pigs
• Highest per capita consumption (3.4
kg/person/year) of pork in the region -10
times increase in the last 30 years, whereas
beef is declining.
• More than 1.1 million households raise pigs in
rural and peri-urban settings.
• Pigs contribute to livelihoods and income to
meet emergency needs and school fees (“live
bank”)
3. Socio-economic Description –SPVC, Uganda
• A large informal sub-sector
– Mostly backyard systems, managed by
women and children
– Low productivity (breeds, feeds & health
constraints)
– Uncoordinated trade & transport
– Unsupervised slaughter slabs, with no
meat inspection in local markets, road-side
butchers, pork joints
– Only 1 approved slaughterhouse in
Kampala (Wambizzi)
– Few investors in formal processor: Fresh
Cuts, Sausage King
4. Back Drop _ Gender issues in Smallholder Pig
Value Chains
• Observed dominance in participation for different
Nodes, Activities & tasks of the pig value chain (Ouma, et al.,
2014); Mtimet & Baker, (2013); Tatwangire, (2013).
• Whereby,
– women are observed dominating production activities( i.e.
cleaning, feeding, giving water, treating); while,
– men dominating post-production activities (processing,
marketing, service delivery, brokering).
5. Gender- neutral Assessment 2010-2013
ILRI SPVC Some Key Findings
Pig Production Issues
• Majority of the pig producers households (81%) were male headed.
• Mukono and Masaka, had relatively higher female pig farmers comprising
24.3-25.7%.
• Women play major role in initiating pig production .Men dominate other
components ; drug stocking (92%), livestock feed stocking (82%), live pig trade
(95%), agro-veterinary services (83%) and village boar keeping
businesses.(52%)
• Male headed households had higher asset index (8.1) , 3 times higher than
that of female headed households,-disparity index in rural-urban value chain
domain was the highest (0.58) compared to urban-urban (0.27) and rural-rural
(0.16) VCs
• Pig mortality rates were as high as 39% and 73% in Mukono. –with discernable
differences in breeds (exotic VS local ) and domains urban VS rural)
6. Some Key Findings –ILRI SPVC Gender- neutral
Assessment ……
Pig Marketing Issues
• Women are not seen at all participating in live pig marketing
• Men are seen to dominate live pig marketing
• The quality assurance standards in the pig production process are yet
to be embraced since there were few traders who grade pork products.
The traders were not aware of existence of quality standards.
• Majority of the farmers did not receive market information (69%) and
extension services (89%) during the period of 2012/2013 production
season. Common sources of extension services to pig farmers were mainly NAADS,
NGOs like VEDCO, other farmers (sharing of information) and animal health service
providers (AHSP).
7. Some Key Findings –ILRI SPVC Gender- neutral
Assessment ……..
Pig Service delivery
Issues
• Disease surveillance and monitoring
mechanism had not been established.
The few disease surveillance activities
that exited were usually limited to
body temperature checks and parasite
control carried out by farmers
themselves and village veterinarians.
• Limited access to pig health related
information sharing platforms in the
villages
8. Some Key Findings –ILRI SPVC Gender- neutral
Assessment …….
Institutional Issues
• The membership to farmer groups
and trade associations still low
among the actors
• Only 21% of traders belonged to
trader associations, 31% of producers
were members of farmer groups, and
26% of women farmers were
members of women groups.
• Majority of the producers were
neither member of groups nor
participated in collective action
10. Gender- Biased Assessment - 2015-2016
ILRI SPVC
1. Changes in tasks
10 years ago;
– Male dominated all activities , except collecting feeds & treating pigs
– Women do tasks performed at home,
– Men do tasks involving moving away from home.
Present;
– New set of tasks by gender
– Production tasks mostly done by women as home-based enterprise,
– Men mostly involve in processing & trading away from home.
2. Benefits men and women get
Financial, resource , social, and psychological benefits
3. Enabling or constraining factors
• Behavioral Factors
• Commercialization of tasks
• Women emancipation
