PREVALENCE OF NON-COMPLETION AMONG POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS IN SELECTED PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES IN KENYA
Authors: Mugendi Sophia Mwende , Githae Eunice Njango 
Published: November 2021

<p>Non-completion among university students is a common phenomenon in many parts of the world. Many causes of this problem have been advanced and among them are institutional and individual reasons like financial ability, gender and motivation to complete studies. Psychological distress though not investigated thoroughly has been cited as one of the problems leading to non-completion. The study sought to establish the prevalence of non-completion among postgraduate students in selected public universities in Kenya. Weiner Attribution theory (1985) informed the study. The study adopted a correlation research design, and it was conducted in two selected public universities in Uasin Gishu and Nairobi counties targeting a population of 945 postgraduate students. A sample of (N=273) was obtained from the two selected public universities through systematic random sampling. The study used questionnaires, focus group discussions and document analysis in collecting data. Reliability of the questionnaire was established using Split half method from a pilot study conducted in Uasin Gishu County. Statistical package for the social sciences SPSS 23 was also used to analyse the data. Descriptive statistics to analyze demographic data while Pearson correlation was employed to test the relationship between psychological distress and non-completion. Regression analysis was used to clarify the nature of relationship with the variable. Findings indicated an average non-completion rate of 2.5 years with most students citing financial constraints as the primary cause of their non-completion. The study recommended that students who wished to further their studies should first establish a financial channel or safe for the education journey before they registered for their studies. This would ensure that they would avoid dropping out of school due to a lack of school fees. The study further recommended that students should choose a study model that would favour their schedules to ensure that they did not go through a lot of stress trying to accomplish several tasks simultaneously. </p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0972/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: November 2021

<p>The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of augmented reality applications on 11th grade high school students' success in circulatory system and their attitudes towards augmented reality application. The semi-experimental design was used as a research pattern. In the quantitative part of the study, semi-experimental design with pretest-posttest control group was used. In the qualitative part, a case study was conducted. The sample of the study consists of 11th grade students studying in Siverek district of Şanlıurfa. While the students in the experimental group learned the subject of the circulatory system with “teaching with Augmented Reality applications” the students in the control group learned with “teaching with conventional techniques”. Circulatory system achievement test, attitude scale towards augmented reality practices and semi-structured interviews forms were used as data collection tools in the study. The data were analyzed with SPSS 18 package programme. As a result of the study, it has been observed that augmented reality applications have a positive effect on students’ academic success. When the students’ opinions about teaching with augmented reality applications are examined, it is clearly seen that they have positive thoughts on the themes of using augmented reality applications to be able to see them in an easier, to increase interest and desire, to attract attention and to use technology. As a result, it was determined that augmented reality had an impact on students' achievements and attitudes.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0963/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Video als stimulus
Authors: Schopman Esther 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Het registreren of documenteren van een performance zal voor uitvoerend kunstenaars niet vreemd zijn. Minder bekend is waarschijnlijk het inzetten van een video-opname om zoveel mogelijk gedachten te activeren die door het hoofd speelden tijdens de performance. Deze onderzoekmethode wordt Stimulated Recall Methode (SRM) genoemd, een overkoepelende term voor introspectief en reflectief onderzoek waarbij de gedachten op het moment van een gebeurtenis opnieuw worden opgeroepen door naderhand naar een video-opname van die gebeurtenis te kijken. In dit artikel bespreekt Esther Schopmanaan de hand van diverse voorbeelden de bruikbaarheid van deze methode voor onderzoek in en door de artistieke praktijk.
Teamwork in songwriting
Authors: Maltzahn Ronja 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
In this article songwriter Ronja Maltzahn focuses on examples and experiences of co-creation as a method for multilingual songwriting and musical translation. She distinguishes between a hierarchical and non-hierarchical perspective – here referred to as an eye-to-eye-level. Maltzahn demonstrates how within the hierarchical framework, two roles can be adopted: a visionary or a reflectionist role. Each position and setting is analysed in terms of possibilities, advantages, challenges, and difficulties.
Vijf reflecties
Authors: Van Hove Hannah 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
In vijf reflecties verkent Hannah Van Hove, vanuit haar eigen schrijf- en onderzoekservaringen, wat het betekent om in het onderzoeksproces de ‘ik’, meestal ogenschijnlijk weggecijferd in academische teksten, te benadrukken. Een centrale vraag bij deze bedenkingen betreft de invloed van de onderzoekservaring zelf op ideeën over taal als methodologisch instrument, wetenschappelijke argumentatie en de waarde van onderzoek.

Kannibalistisch kabaal
Authors: Verbesselt Joeri 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
In deze bijdrage experimenteert Joeri Verbesselt met de troop van de kannibaal om over de positie van de kunstenaar binnen de hedendaagse (populaire) cultuur te reflecteren. Hij haalt zijn ingrediënten enerzijds uit de westerse geschiedenis van kannibalisme. Maar anderzijds baseert hij zich ook op het concept van cultureel kannibalisme dat ontstond binnen Braziliaanse modernistische avant-gardebewegingen - in plaats van de invasieve populaire cultuur te imiteren of te verwerpen, stelden die voor om deze te kannibaliseren: inkomende prikkels eten, verteren en uitscheiden in een nieuwe, vruchtbare vorm. Verbesselts resultaat is een wansmakelijke recept voor een artistieke benadering van cultuur dat fictie, theorie en autobiografie vermengt tot kladderij.
Outcomes of the gastrocnemius flap performed by orthopaedic surgeons in salvage revision knee arthroplasty
Authors: McCulloch Robert Allan , Adlan Amirul , Evans Scott , Parry Michael , Stevenson Jonathan , Jeys Lee 
Published: November 2021

Abstract. Introduction:
The gastrocnemius myofascial flap is used to manage soft-tissue defects over
the anterior aspect of the knee in the context of a patient presenting with
a sinus and periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) or extensor mechanism
failure. The aim of this study was twofold: firstly, to evaluate the
outcomes of gastrocnemius flaps performed by appropriately trained
orthopaedic surgeons in the context of PJI and, secondly, to evaluate the
infection-free survival of this patient group.
Patients and methods:
We retrospectively reviewed 30 patients who underwent gastrocnemius flap
reconstruction during staged revision total knee arthroplasty for prosthetic
joint infection (PJI). All flaps were performed by an orthopaedic surgeon
with orthoplastics training. Patients had a mean age of 68.9 years (range
50–84) and were followed up for a mean of 50.4 months (range 2–128 months).
A total of 29 patients (97 %) were categorized into Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) local extremity
grade 3 (greater than two compromising factors), and 52 % of PJIs were
polymicrobial. The primary outcome measure was flap failure, and the
secondary outcome measure was recurrent infection.
Results:
Flap survival was 100 % with no failures or early returns to theatre for
flap problems such as necrosis or haematoma. Overall infection-free survival
during the study period was 48 % (13 of 27 infected cases). Using
limb salvage as the outcome, 77 % (23 of 30 patients) retained the limb.
Infection recurrence occurred in 48 % (10 patients) in the type B3 cohort
and 67 % (4 patients) in the type C3 cohort (p=0.65).
Conclusions:
The surgical technique for a gastrocnemius myofascial flap is reliable and
reproducible when performed by appropriately trained orthopaedic surgeons,
even in high-risk groups. However, the risks of recurrent infection and
amputation remain high within our series due to poor host and extremity
factors.
Disposable Menstrual Products as Law's Objects
Authors: Goldblatt Beth , Steele Linda 
Published: November 2021

During the past few years, scholars and activists have increasingly engaged with law as a means to challenge stigma, silence, and disadvantages associated with menstruation. Menstrual items (predominantly in the form of disposable menstrual products) are becoming increasingly prominent in this “legal turn.” There have been legislative reforms to provide access to free menstrual items, litigation and legislative reforms to remove taxes on menstrual products, legislative reforms on product safety and environmental sustainability of menstrual items, and water and sanitation hygiene (‘WASH’) policies and guidelines in the context of international development interventions that focus on access to menstrual items.
As regulation of disposable menstrual products assumes greater prominence in legal doctrine, feminist legal scholars are increasingly evaluating the impacts of such laws on menstruators, including in the context of diverse experiences of menstruation and menstrual injustice. But what can disposable menstrual products themselves tell us of law? In this Essay we take an object-informed approach to law in the specific context of disposable menstrual products. What insights about law might these objects provide, and how do these insights deepen our understanding of law’s relationship to menstruation, menstruators, and the worlds in which menstruators are situated? What can we appreciate about law’s role in defining, as well as recognizing and responding to, the diversity of experiences related to menstruation? How do menstrual items nuance our understanding of agency in relation to menstrual injustice? And what do these objects tell us about the limits and challenges of using law to achieve justice in relation to the embodied experiences of people who menstruate?

Part II introduces some key contributions to feminist legal thinking on materiality and objects, which informs our analysis of disposable menstrual products as law’s objects. Part III introduces some of the critical threads in scholarship on disposable menstrual products, including how they relate to diversity and materiality of experiences of menstruation. Then, we turn in Part IV to explore what disposable menstrual products tell us about law’s role in menstruation, using the recent laws introduced in Scotland as a case study.
The Power of Blood: The Many Faces of Women's Monthly Menses in Jewish Law and Beyond
Authors: Laufer-Ukeles Pamela 
Published: November 2021

Menstruation has many faces. This Essay will discuss competing narratives relating to menstruation as portrayed in Jewish law and culture, and assess the implications of such narratives for modern legal systems. These narratives depict menstruation in all its contradictions — as taboo and power, as health and imperfection, and as reflecting biological difference but not inequality. Each narrative will be discussed from a textual, legal, communal and, occasionally, personal perspective, conveying different meanings that have different cultural impacts, modern applications and reflect different aspects of the quest for equality.
Together, these narratives provide a holistic vision of womanhood that resists simplification. Acknowledging that not only women menstruate, in this Essay I refer to women as those who menstruate because this is the category associated with menstruation used in Jewish law and it is the complexity of womanhood revealed by Jewish law and culture that I address. These four faces of menstruation are not characterized as positive or negative in and of themselves; rather, I analyze them each on their own terms, discussing how they may impact women in both negative and positive ways. The variability of these narratives demonstrates the need for women to shape their own narratives around their bodies in order to empower themselves within their communities. Moreover, the multiplicity of faces that menstruation involves, and the different ways that femininity can therefore impact womanhood, counsels promoting menstrual justice in a variety of ways, and from a variety of perspectives, creatively empowering women by recognizing their individual complexity. In Jewish law, menstruation engenders impurity, authority, fertility, and biological difference, and each of these faces of womanhood will be discussed in turn.
Burning Bridges: The Automated Facial Recognition Technology and Public Space Surveillance in the Modern State
Authors: Zalnieriute Monika 
Published: November 2021

Live automated facial recognition technology, rolled out in public spaces and cities across the world, is transforming the nature of modern policing. R (on the application of Bridges) v Chief Constable of South Wales Police, decided in August 2020, is the first successful legal challenge to automated facial recognition technology in the world. In Bridges, the United Kingdom’s Court of Appeal held that the South Wales Police force’s use of automated facial recognition technology was unlawful. This landmark ruling could influence future policy on facial recognition in many countries. The Bridges decision imposes some limits on the police’s previously unconstrained discretion to decide whom to target and where to deploy the technology. Yet, while the decision requires that the police adopt a clearer legal framework to limit this discretion, it does not, in principle, prevent the use of facial recognition technology for mass-surveillance in public places, nor for monitoring political protests. On the contrary, the Court held that the use of automated facial recognition in public spaces – even to identify and track the movement of very large numbers of people – was an acceptable means for achieving law enforcement goals. Thus, the Court dismissed the wider impact and significant risks posed by using facial recognition technology in public spaces. It underplayed the heavy burden this technology can place on democratic participation and freedoms of expression and association, which require collective action in public spaces. The Court neither demanded transparency about the technologies used by the police force, which is often shielded behind the “trade secrets” of the corporations who produce them, nor did it act to prevent inconsistency between local police forces’ rules and regulations on automated facial recognition technology. Thus, while the Bridges decision is reassuring and demands change in the discretionary approaches of U.K. police in the short term, its long-term impact in burning the “bridges” between the expanding public space surveillance infrastructure and the modern state is unlikely. In fact, the decision legitimizes such an expansion.
