Fighting for Gender Equality: Matrimonial Property Division in Kenya's Legal Landscape Upon Marriage Dissolution
Authors: ODHIAMBO WILFRIDA
Published: February 2024

In recent years, Kenya has witnessed significant advancements in its legal and policy framework promoting gender equality. The enactment of a new Constitution, which places a strong emphasis on equality, enhances protection against discrimination, and extends safeguards for vulnerable groups, marks a commendable step forward. Progress has been made in the past decade to ensure equality and uphold the rights of women within the institution of marriage, notably with the enactment of the Matrimonial Property Act of 2013 (the "MPA"). Notably, women in Kenya can now purchase, register, and inherit land from their parents. Despite these strides, gender disparities persist in the management and allocation of economic resources, particularly in cases of spousal death or divorce. This paper concentrates on the distribution of matrimonial property upon the dissolution of a marriage or divorce. Kenyan courts have, at times, arrived at conflicting conclusions regarding non-monetary support in both long- and short-term marriages. This leaves potential litigants, especially women, navigating the complexities of marital conflicts within the legal system without clear guidance on the significance of non-monetary contributions during divorce proceedings. The paper outlines the trajectory taken in the pursuit of gender equality concerning the division of matrimonial property upon divorce in Kenya.
Bob Marley and Media
Authors: Hajimichael Mike
Published: March 2024

Bob Marley and Media: Representation and Audiences presents an analysis of how media, radio, television and print represented Bob Marley, including his popularity after his death. Mike Hajimichael examines unexplored connections between Bob Marley and media representation and the specifics of audiences, including coverage in tabloids, music magazines, and fanzines, as well as radio and television interviews.

Hajimichael builds an extensive catalogue of Bob Marley’s media engagements and connects Marley to media through forms of political discourse and ideologies relevant to social change in different contexts globally, such as civil rights, anti-racism, Rastafari, and liberation movements. Given that varieties of representation exist, the book unpacks these media discourses with regard to public perceptions and key themes articulated, including mainstream versus fan-based coverage, issues of Rastafari, Black Consciousness, economic crisis, legacies of colonialism, slavery, racism, links to other music idioms, concepts of identity, and Marley’s personal relationships.
Spies on the Sidelines
Authors: Bryant Kevin
Published: March 2024

The first book to fully explore the extraordinary covert actions NFL teams are willing to take in order to win.

Spies disguised as priests. Secret surveillance of targets’ movements. Radio frequency jamming. Tapped telephones. These might sound like acts of espionage right out of the Cold War or a spy movie—but in fact came straight from the National Football League.

In Spies on the Sidelines: The High-Stakes World of NFL Espionage, Kevin Bryant provides the first in-depth investigation of spying in professional football, as well as the countermeasures utilized to defend against these threats. Spanning across all teams and eras, Bryant shines a light on the shady world of NFL reconnaissance—from clandestine photography and hidden draft prospects to listening devices and stolen documents—along with the permissible, if sometimes questionable, spy techniques teams utilize day in and day out to gain an advantage over their opponents.

Written by a former Special Agent with decades of experience collecting and safeguarding information for the Department of Defense, Spies on the Sidelines reveals that, behind the game-day action, professional football can be as cloak-and-dagger as American intelligence agencies. This fascinating and expansive compilation of NFL spy anecdotes exposes the extraordinary measures teams are willing to take in order to win.
Queering Vocal Pedagogy
Authors: Sauerland William
Published: March 2024

Queering Vocal Pedagogy presents a new vision of gender-affirming vocal music education and richly explores the experiences, perspectives, and vocal training of trans(gender) and genderqueer singers.

This groundbreaking text weaves together singers’ narratives with the practices and pedagogies of their teachers to provide a model for training gender expansive vocalists. William Sauerland promotes a two-fold action: first, cultivating gender-affirming practices for teaching trans and genderqueer singers, and second, disentangling vocal pedagogy from practices and traditions that have historically promoted cisgender narratives.

Through case studies representing various identities within the gender expansive population, this book provides an insider’s view to lesson pacing, vocal exercises, repertoire, and processes toward vocal development. Sauerland provides a wealth of practical and theoretical knowledge for teachers, choral directors, and music educators, including:

Impacts of gender and identity in teaching singers

Inclusive language especially for voice classifications

Strategies for teaching

Repertoire considerations

Professional responsibility and socio-emotional support in the studio

The Self, and Other Stories
Authors: Shepherd Laura J.
Published: March 2024

The Self, and Other Stories is an autoethnographic reflection on the value in the act of writing, illuminating the life of the researcher—in particular the researcher as human. Shepherd explores the multitudes of the academic, feminist self through expanding vocabularies of how scholars, researchers, writers, teachers, and academics can make sense of their worlds.

At the intersection of international relations theory and the personal, Shepherd presents seven reflexive essays on aspects of being and knowing as she has encountered them. The essays are grounded in and inspired by her experiences as a way of asking readers to imagine how knowledge production in the social sciences might look different if we could create and hold space for different ways of writing, being, and knowing. The disciplining practices which produce our limited modes of academic expression can be encountered otherwise. She calls on us to reflect on academic subjectification across the interconnected spaces we simultaneously inhabit and produce.
Fifty Years of Polyamory in America
Authors: Olson Glen W. , Brussel-Rogers Terry Lee
Published: March 2024

A tour of polyamory in America over the last 50 years.

Fifty Years of Polyamory in America: A Guided Tour to a Growing Movement is unique among the many books about polyamory because the scope of this book is the entire history of the polyamory movement. Instead of concentrating on the experiences of a few people exploring alternate lifestyles, it is an exploration of two generations of Americans, the people and the organizations they founded, what they have chosen to do, and how it has changed their lives and affected the culture as a whole.

Written in an entertaining and easily accessible style, the authors cover the history of alternative sexual relationship styles starting with a quick peek at colonial times, the Mormon and Oneida movements of the 1840s-70s, and modern day influences starting in the 1950s.

Polyamory, literally “many loves,” challenges the relationship norm: monogamy. As its name suggests, polyamory typically refers to emotional/sexual relationships that include multiple partners. Common applications of polyamory include open marriages, triad (three people), two-couple (four people) “marriages,” and larger groups like intimate networks. Swingers are a subset of non-monogamy who often identify as poly.

Throughout the course of Fifty Years of Polyamory in America, we explore the history of the polyamory movement: from clinical definitions and attempts at psychiatric treatment, to the advent of advocacy groups in the 1960s and ’70s, to contemporary practitioners and the future of the movement. A wide range of personal stories from advocates and practitioners guides the narrative to the modern day, highlighting the struggles and successes of the movement throughout the years.

The workplace landscape has shifted dramatically since COVID19 struck. Many continue to work remotely while corporate executives indicate the shift may be permanent. Yet workplace conflict continues to remain a struggle in many work environments.

Insecurity, conflicting values, and resistance to change are fueling the high stress of interpersonal relationships at work and beyond. For employees and managers alike, workplace conflict has taken on a whole new meaning and complexity. What is needed is a simple, direct, and workable approach to managing conflict.

Sandbox Strategies for the New Workplace: Conflict Resolution From the Inside Out provides a system to help professionals embrace and even welcome conflict with coworkers, bosses, clients, and others.

As a workplace-relationships expert helping remote and on-site teams resolve conflict for the last couple of decades, Penny Tremblay learned that there’s only one way through conflict and that’s through it. To help work teams, Penny designed eight proven strategies to help people become responsible, influential, and productive problem solvers.

Readers will learn to master the PLAY NICE steps to exponentially increase their capacity to:

Embrace, accept, and welcome conflicting values

Understand the importance of collaborative relationships for career advancement

Take responsibility to co-create a winning culture with productive and profitable results

Empathize with coworkers and even competitors to be the leader others WANT to follow

The only book that turns conflict resolution inside out and makes it a work of play, these eight sandbox strategies are illustrated with rich anecdotes, relevant analogies, and fun examples of tools (toys) to make “conflict” lessons as creative and constructive as the childhood sandbox.

Playing nice doesn’t always mean being nice. Finding one’s assertive voice, speaking up, and setting boundaries are tools that are available to everyone. Peaceful, productive, and profitable relationships are everyone’s responsibility, so get out your shovels and let’s dig in!
Parodie, Intertextualität, Interbildlichkeit
Authors: Rose Margaret A
Published: February 2024

Die Parodie ist seit der Antike in der Geschichte der westlichen Literatur als die komische Nachahmung und Umfunktionierung von älteren Werken bekannt und immer zu neuen Zwecken gebraucht worden. Bei Cervantes wurde die komische sowie selbstreflexive, ‚metafiktive‘ Parodie Mittel zur Entwicklung des modernen Romans. Durch die Analyse von solchen Parodien haben die russischen Formalisten des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts sowie ihr Landsmann Michail Bachtin unsere Aufmerksamkeit auf den ‚dialogischen‘ bzw. (nach Julia Kristeva) ‚intertextuellen‘ Charakter der Literatur gelenkt. Obwohl die Parodie heutzutage auch in den bildenden Künsten (einschließlich des Films) verwendet und nachgewiesen wird, ist der ‚interbildliche‘ Charakter solcher Parodien – und die Interbildlichkeit im allgemeinen – nicht als solche, sondern eher als ‚Intertextualität‘ untersucht worden. Hier wird nicht nur eine Einführung in die Interpretation der Parodie und ihrer Intertextualität angeboten, sondern auch ein Begriff der Interbildlichkeit entwickelt, der sowohl bei Arbeiten zur Literatur wie zu den bildenden Künsten ergiebig sein kann.
Molecular Dynamics on Hf-Nb-Ta-Ti-Zr High Entropy Alloy
Authors: César R. Aliaga Luis , Melhorance Barboza Alexandre , Marins de Couto Loena , Napoleão Bastos Ivan
Published: March 2024

Classical molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate the structure and mechanical properties in the equiatomic Hf-Nb-Ta-Ti-Zr high entropy alloy. The open-source code LAMMPS was used to generate alloys with different crystalline lattices to determine the stable structure at 300 K. Alloying elements interacted under the action of the MEAM interatomic potential. The result showed that the alloy stabilizes in body-centered cubic (BCC) structure at 300 K. However, a wide dispersion of potential energy data as a function of atomic separation suggests the coexistence of another crystalline phase. Heating tests indicated a polymorphic phase transformation from BCC to hexagonal close-packed (HCP) at temperatures around 1100 K. Uniaxial tensile tests at a rate of 1×1010 s−1 along the [001], [110], and [111] crystallographic directions in cylindrical monocrystalline bars at 300 K were conducted. The results revealed a strong anisotropy of mechanical properties. This work provides a microscopic understanding of the mechanical behavior of the multicomponent alloy and aligns with the macroscopic theory of plastic deformation of single crystals.
Bioprocess Development and Bioreactor Scale-Up for the Production of Recombinant Lentiviral Viral Vectors in HEK293 Suspension Cell Culture
Authors: Robitaille Julien , Manceur Aziza , Rodenbrock Anja , Loignon Martin
Published: March 2024

Therapeutic applications of viral vectors that initially targeted rare monogenic diseases have now grown to a broader set of indications including cell and gene therapy applications and vaccines. This has prompted the need to increase biomanufacturing capacities, which will require adjustments in the biomanufacturing space to increase yield and lower cost of goods of large-scale productions. HEK293 cells have been widely used for the production of viral vectors because they can grow rapidly in suspension and allow for different modes of production: batch, fed-batch and perfusion. Here we review methods and platforms for producing lentiviral vectors in HEK293 cells grown in serum-free media and the principles and challenges of optimizing and scaling up of bioprocesses in various bioreactors. Lentiviral vectors are particularly difficult to manufacture due to their labile nature. These challenges will be considered in view of current processes and future trends emerging to resolve bottlenecks and existing limitations.
Sheep Health, Wellbeing, and Welfare Management
Authors: Thomas Yoksa Daniel
Published: March 2024

Traditionally, sheep are kept in the rural communities for the purpose of milk, wool and meat. Different types of husbandry system exist, intensive, semi-intensive and extensive system of management. Irrespective of the reason for keeping the animal, good management practices should ensure that the welfare of the animal do not suffer. For a profitable performance use of modern available techniques in production is necessary. Estrus synchronization, artificial insemination, early pregnancy detection, embryo transfer and supplemental lamb feeding have all been employed to optimize performance. The welfare of an animal is important. Practices as hoof trimming, shearing, tail docking have been found to improve welfare in sheep production. Diseases of sheep can be categorized into parasitic, bacterial, fungal, rickettsial and viral diseases. Ectoparasites and endoparasites in sheep farming affect the quality of wool and general performance of the animal by causing irritation and poor growth rate due to host dependability. Bacterial diseases in farmed sheep posed a risk of suppurative diseases that affect organs such as the lungs, joints, thyroid gland, lymph nodes and foot which is a consequence of damaging the organs and a risk of systemic diseases which can lead to death of the animal. Good biosecurity measures should be set in place and proper use of vaccines is to be ensued as these tend to keep disease causing agents away from the flock. Sheep farming is a good source of employment hence the need to employ modern techniques to replace traditional practices for optimum performance.

Published: March 2024

Objetivo: Determinar si existe asociación entre el impulso respiratorio, evaluado a través de la presión de oclusión (P0.1), y la profundidad de sedación, medida a través de la escala de agitación-sedación de Richmond (RASS, por sus siglas en inglés), en sujetos adultos sometidos a ventilación mecánica invasiva e internados en la unidad de cuidados del Hospital de Clínicas José de San Martín (HCJSM) en Buenos Aires. Como objetivo secundario, se planteó analizar el comportamiento de variables que pudieran tener impacto en el impulso respiratorio.
Materiales y método: Se realizó un estudio observacional en un hospital universitario de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, entre el 1 de abril de 2023 y el 28 de mayo de 2023. Las variables analizadas fueron P0.1, RASS, dolor, delirio, exposición a analgésicos y sedantes, estado ácido-base, PaO2/FiO2, SOFA e índice de masa corporal.
Resultados: Se recolectaron 71 mediciones correspondientes a 33 sujetos. La mediana de P0.1 fue de 0,13 cmH20 (0-0,97). En el análisis univariado, se encontró una asociación inversamente proporcional entre la P0.1 y el puntaje RASS (β=-0,4068 y p=0,0435). Los resultados del análisis multivariado mostraron que ninguna de las variables contempladas se asoció con la P0.1 cuando fueron ajustadas entre sí.
Conclusión: En este estudio, encontramos una asociación entre la P0.1 y el puntaje RASS, así como una asociación independiente entre la P0.1 y la exposición a la combinación de analgesia y sedación. Sin embargo, al ajustar estas variables en el análisis multivariado, no se encontró asociación.

Published: March 2024

This study aims to examine the effect of Financial Report Quality, CEO Career Concern, and CEO Gender on Investment Efficiency with Good Governance as a Moderating variable. This research method uses Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with Eviews statistical tools. This study uses a sample of 680 observations of non-financial companies in Indonesia during 2022 using panel regression. The results showed that the quality of financial statements has no effect on investment efficiency. The quality of financial statements that has no effect is possible because the overinvestment scenario also has no effect. In this condition, the quality of financial statements has not been able to mitigate the occurrence of overinvestment due to the high agency level. Meanwhile, in underinvestment conditions, the quality of financial reporting has a significant positive effect, which means that the quality of financial reporting can reduce underinvestment because the quality of financial reporting can be used to attract external funds so that the company avoids underinvestment conditions. The career concern variable of the president director has no effect on investment efficiency, this is possible because in underinvestment conditions it also has no effect because most sample companies do not experience funding constraints so that the career concern of the president director does not mitigate underinvestment.

This journal discusses the participation of the Aceh traditional society in the formation of laws and regulations in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam. Aceh is a regional government that has a special autonomy related to one of the distinctive characteristics of using Islamic Sharia in forming its policies. Article 96, paragraph 1, of Law Number 13 of 2022 is the legal basis for the public to participate in the formation of statutory regulations. Public participation in the formulation of legislative regulations is the implementation of the objectives of Indonesia for the well-being of the entire Indonesian people. Seeing this, problems arise regarding how to apply Acehnese customary law in regional regulations and the participation of the Acehnese traditional community in the formation of regional regulations. The research method used in this writing is normative juridical, by examining library materials or secondary data. This research explains that the application of customary law in Aceh in regional regulations is called qanun, which is based on Islamic sharia. Then, Ulama and traditional institutions have an important role and certain authority in the formation of laws and regulations.

Authors: Hastangka Hastangka
Published: March 2024

Education during Jokowi's administration was rarely a topic of discussion. In the 2-year document Jokowi-JK Real Work shows that education is less of a major concern in the Jokowi administration's policy agenda. The three main focuses of the government's policy agenda emphasize infrastructure, human development, and economic deregulation policies. Education is only limited to the mention of increased access and infrastructure of education, and the education index which increased (0.82) from 2014 to 2015. A number of education policy products such as the smart Indonesia card, KIP Kuliah have become a legacy in the Jokowi administration from 2014 to 2024. However, a number of educational problems and challenges have not been fully answered during Jokowi's leadership. This happens because there is no adequate design thinking in overcoming education problems in Indonesia. The purpose of the research is to uncover and analyze the fundamental problems of education and propose the formulation of design thinking of Indonesian education policy after Jokowi. The method used in this study uses a qualitative approach. Data is obtained through literature studies of government policy documents in the field of education, books, scientific journal articles. Data analysis uses interpretive approaches, semiotics, critical discourse analysis, and design thinking. The results of this study show that if we look at post-reform education policy, design thinking education policy has not touched on the fundamental education system, the substance of education, and the culture and ecosystem of education. Therefore, the design thinking proposed after the Jokowi administration is directed to build and strengthen three aspects, namely regulation, governance, and education human resources.
