Research Ethics in Africa
The aim of this book is to provide research ethics committee members with a resource that focuses on research ethics issues in Africa. The authors are currently active in various aspects of research ethics in Africa and the majority have been trained in the past by either the Fogarty International Center or Europe and Developing Countries Clinical Trial Partnership (EDCTP) sponsored bioethics training programmes .
Challenges in Medical Ethics
This is a book about several specific and serious challenges that bioethics has to deal with in our time, particularly in the South African context. From an almost non-existent ‘science’ at the beginning of the 20th century, not receiving systematic reflection in intellectual circles such as universities, bioethics has grown with unprecedented strides and has established itself across the world as a major field of study. This book is an acknowledgement of the relevance and actuality of this development of bioethics internationally, and particularly in South Africa. In addition, it is an inter- and multidisciplinary composition of contributors and a significant reflection of the interdisciplinary approach that is universally required for bioethical work. The contributions also testify to a notable diversity in recently researched issues and in the backgrounds of the contributors.
Pondering Life Issues / Gedagtegange
Over the past seven years, the author has written several articles for the media – often on request. This volume comprises the most important of these articles. The first 50 articles (Part 1) appear in English and the last 39 (Deel 2) in Afrikaans. The footnotes indicate who published the specific article and when. The latter is important because it puts each article in context. Sometimes the content in this volume differs slightly from that which has appeared in the media. Some of the articles have also been published by other than the indicated media platform / daily newspaper, but they are not mentioned here. There are some themes that overlap in English and Afrikaans but are not direct translations of each other. More than one article has been written on certain themes and some articles were co‑authored with colleagues as indicated in the footnotes.
Hearing Loss
The auditory system is one of the finest structures in the human body. Although its anatomical structure is so small compared to other organs, without it, it would greatly affect a person’s basic life. Hearing loss, also known as hearing impairment, is a partial or total inability to hear. When people communicate with others, listening is always the first step. That is why Helen Keller once said, “Blindness separates people from things; deafness separates people from people.” To avoid the “epidemic” of hearing loss in the near future, it is necessary to promote early screening, change public attitudes toward noise, and wear hearing aids appropriately. Based on the contributions of many authors, whom I sincerely respect, this book incorporates updated developments as well as future perspectives in the ever-expanding field of hearing loss. This book can also serve as a reference for persons who are involved in this field whether they are clinicians, researchers, or patients.
Mathematics for Human Flourishing in the Time of COVID-19 and Post COVID-19
The International Chair in Mathematical Physics and Applications (ICMPA - UNESCO chair), University of Abomey-Calavi, Benin, and the Center for Applied Mathematics of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Niš, CAM-FMEN, organized a webinar on Mathematics for human flourishing in the time of COVID-19 and post COVID-19, 21 October 2020, supported by the City of Niš. The objectives of the webinar were to give precise information about the work that scientists do to cure the disease, to push forward technology, to understand our society and create new expressions of humanity, and to question the role of mathematics in the responses to this pandemic.

Researching Peacebuilding in Africa
This book examines the multifaceted nature of conflict and the importance of the socio-economic and political contexts of conflict and violence and shows how to support ongoing initiatives and programs to build sustainable peace on the African continent. Drawing on a range of conceptual framings in the study of peace and conflict, from gender perspectives to institutionalist to decolonial perspectives, the contributors show how peacebuilding research covers a whole range of questions that go beyond concerns for post-conflict reconstruction strategies. Chapters focus on the methodological, theoretical and practical aspects of peacebuilding and provide a toolbox of perspectives for conceptualizing and doing peacebuilding research in Africa. Anchored in African-centered perspectives, the book encourages and promotes high-quality interdisciplinary research that is conflict-sensitive, historically informed, theoretically grounded and analytically sound. This book will be of benefit to scholars, policy makers and research institutions engaged in peacebuilding in Africa.
