“…19 In phenomenology, the main objective is the study of meaning, rather than its explanation of causes. [20][21] Phenomenology explores what is considered to be commonsense knowledge, i.e, knowledge that is already widely present in the community being studied. 22…”

During pregnancy, women sometimes choose certain practices based upon the experience of their family and/or their vicinity to anticipate complications that may occur during childbirth. The main objective of this study is to understand the motivations and perceptions of pregnant women on lay knowledge in the prevention of complications related to childbirth among a sample of Congolese women. We conducted this study at N’djili Referral Hospital in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, using a qualitative phenomenological survey and indepth face-to-face interviews. We interviewed seven women on the phenomenon of lay knowledge practice in the prevention of maternal difficulties and analyzed the data using thematic coding. We provided a consent form to the participants and were careful not to include identifying information. Three main themes emerged: i) discussion of complications related to pregnancy and delivery, ii) perceptions about lay knowledge in preventing complications related to childbirth, and iii) suggestions from participants about using lay knowledge in healthcare settings. Based upon data collected, we argue that lay knowledge about pregnancy can be integrated into formal antenatal training when appropriate and, in doing so, we can build trust among pregnant women toward professional medical instruction.

“…The research sought to describe artists' experiences with disruptive Skiza Tunes innovation. These lived experiences, according to Barrow (2017), "are the ways in which people live in relation to a phenomenon" (p. 94). The experiences gave the researcher insights into the impact of Skiza Tunes in the Kenyan Music Industry.…”

This paper explores Skiza Tunes' impact on the music industry. In the process, the research sought answers on how Skiza Tunes disrupted the Kenyan music industry, the Skiza Tunes platform’s intermediary role, and its exploitative propensities. It initiates a discussion on Skiza Tunes’ disruptive innovation focusing on its business model, platform capitalism. The researcher will undertake a comprehensive literature review on platform capitalism, disruptive innovations and access-based services’ impact on the music industry. Spotify is an access-based service that thrives through platform capitalism. The researcher also conducts in-depth interviews with Kenyan artists, focussing on their opinions on the impact of Skiza Tunes on their socio-economic development. Skiza Tunes is significantly transforming the Kenyan music industry by generating new artist revenue streams. However, limited literature exists on the impact of Skiza Tunes on the music industry. Several questions still linger on the intermediary role of the Skiza Tunes, revenue splits and its exploitative propensities. There should be deliberate efforts to overhaul the education systems to reflect the current technological innovations. The skilled labour expected to drive these disruptive innovations does not get the necessary education, which slows down the adaption of these technologies in the music industry.

“…The tabular juxtaposition technique provided a bird's-eye view of the comparative findings in the case institutions. The phenomenological analyses related to the perspectives of the individual and was qualitative analysis of narrative data with the goal to describe a lived experience of a phenomenon (Adebisi, 2018;Barrow, 2017). Table 1 summarizes the codes used to identify the 16 interviewees.…”

This study examined the similarities and differences in the processes and facilities for distance education at National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), a single-mode distance learning institution, and Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, a dual-mode distance learning institution. The study adopted a case study research design, with a population of administrators/facilitators and distance learning students at both NOUN and OAU. The sample for the study consisted of 38 key informants (30 administrators/facilitators and 8 students) selected using a purposive sampling technique. All the administrators/facilitators responded to a key informant questionnaire; 8 of the administrators/facilitators and all 8 students were also interviewed. The 16 interviewees were selected based on gender, institution, educational role, and mode of distance learning. The collected data were analysed using tabular juxtaposition and phenomenological analysis techniques. Results showed that similarities in the operational structures at NOUN and OAU included the use of blended learning approaches. Differences in operations included compulsory tutorial attendance at OAU and the deployment of part-time and quasi part-time facilitators at NOUN and OAU, respectively. The study recommended an increase in the use of information and communications technology (ICT).
