108479-001 - Countering Youth Radicalization in Tunisia through Inclusion - General Background Note
(2018-12) Rafaa Chehoudi; Nizar Ben Salah, Roland Gillah, Imen AlNighaoui
The author observes convergent trends of increasing violent extremism alongside reinforced democratization since the fall of Zine al- Abidine Ben Ali in 2011. The number of Tunisians joining radical groups within Tunisia or in foreign groups raises concerns. Existing scholarship suggests that violent extremism should decline while the country moves further toward a more consolidated democracy. This background note addresses these issues, their context and history, and how youth engagement can be fostered.

The main topics of the conference (2019) during the two days were: inclusion of Tunisian youth and its impact on preventing and mitigating Violent Extremism, and; the dilemma of the returning Tunisian Foreign Fighters. Findings are from the first phase of the research. Historically, religion has influenced traditions and social norms. However, societal conservatism has substituted religion.

2019 Kirindon literacy study : using ABRACADABRA and READS
(2021) Lysenko, Larysa; Abrami, Phil; Wade, Anne; Del Col, Nancy; Waichinga, Anne; Kedoki, Julius; WaGioko, Maina; Kiforo, Enos; Iminza, Rose
Two grade-one English teachers and their students from two World Vision schools in Kirindon (a remote region of Narok County, Kenya) participated in this study; one teacher used ABRA-READS as part of her English Language instruction (40 students) and one control teacher (40 students) did not use the tools. Analysis of findings show that after exposure to the ABRA and READS instruction, the students improved their scores at a higher rate than their peers from the control class. ABRA/READS students showed significantly larger improvements in Vocabulary, Reading Comprehension, and Total Grade. The software helped learners become active learners and to reason faster.

3D-printed prosthesis to support female survivors of domestic violence, accidents or cancer treatment in Brazil
(2023) Carleton University; Gendered Design in Steam (GDS)
During development before birth and throughout life, the human body can be mutilated or amputated due to a variety of causes. This study investigates how 3D printing as an innovative technology can be utilized for prostheses production for women with visible disabilities caused by domestic violence, accidents, medical conditions, or cancer treatment. 3D printing offers a more sustainable alternative when compared to traditional prosthetics as it allows for higher levels of customization at lower production costs. This project used Design Science Research (DSR), which incorporates theory, artifact development, creativity, and innovation as a methodological approach. This project investigates the impacts of 3D printing technology on gendered design prosthesis to rehabilitate identity, confidence and independence of women in low- and middle-income countries.
