Barriers and Opportunities for HPV Self-Sampling in Underserved Rural Communities
Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women in sub-Saharan Africa, especially in rural areas with limited access to screening. This study explored factors influencing rural Kenyan women's willingness to self-collect samples for HPV-DNA testing. Data were drawn from a mixed methods study in two Kenyan rural counties, including surveys with 174 women and interviews with 21 participants. The mean age of the survey sampl…

Understanding women’s mobile phone use in rural Kenya
Increases in mobile phone ownership and Internet access throughout Africa continue to motivate initiatives to use information and communication technologies (ICTs)—in particular, mobile phones—to address long-standing socioeconomic problems in the “developing world.” While it is generally recognized that mobile phones may help to address these problems by providing pertinent information, less widely known is exactly how (and if) a handset’s human…
Imagined Facebook
This article describes an exploratory study of Facebook non-users living in rural Zambia. Drawing on evidence from 37 group interviews with mobile phone owners, we discovered that the majority of our participants were aware of, or ‘imagined’ Facebook, despite never having seen or used the site. Our analysis of how participants perceive Facebook suggests that they are interested in the communication and income-generating possibilities access to th…

A re-investigation of the findsite of the Huckitta Meteorite from Central Australia
The Huckitta meteorite from Central Australia is the largest known pallasite.Excavation of the find in 1937 showed that the 1415 kg unweathercd main mass rested on a much larger sub-surface body of weathered remains known as "iron shale" in which the metal phase has completely oxidised but the pallasite structure is preserved.Madigan (1939) reported that all the meteoritic material had been removed.Further excavation in 1986 showed that the exten…
