Feasibility, usability and acceptability of a novel digital hybrid-system for reporting of routine maternal health information in Southern Tanzania
Health information systems are important for health planning and progress monitoring. Still, data from health facilities are often of limited quality in Low-and-Middle-Income Countries. Quality deficits are partially rooted in the fact that paper-based documentation is still the norm at facility level, leading to mistakes in summarizing and manual copying. Digitization of data at facility level would allow automatization of these procedural steps…

Orientalist discourse relies on the relational epistemology in which the authenticity of the self co-emerges with the authenticity of the other. The cultural definition of authentic ethnic cuisine is discursively constructed through the identification of racialized otherness which also implies the 'de-racialized' cultural competency of cosmopolitan consumers. A critical discourse analysis of online restaurant reviews in selected US cities reveals…
Men Who Strike and Men Who Submit
While the recent conceptualization of hegemonic masculinity allows for the emergence of multiple masculinities, a significant ambiguity remains in theorizing the relationships between hegemonic and ''alternative'' forms of masculinity. In the relatively newly institutionalized sport of mixed martial arts (MMA), the relationship between the two polarized, competing technical styles-striking and submission- appears to demonstrate the competition be…
