“…Furthermore, similar to many other qualitative studies (see [39,84,99]), our study explores a qualitative (conceptual) phenomenon (i.e., gamification misuse). The main weakness we would like to point out is that identifying this phenomenon largely depends on whether the end-users perceive it.…”

More and more learning apps like Duolingo are using some form of gamification (e.g., badges, points, and leaderboards) to enhance user learning. However, they are not always successful. Gamification misuse is a phenomenon that occurs when users become too fixated on gamification and get distracted from learning. This undesirable phenomenon wastes users' precious time and negatively impacts their learning performance. However, there has been little research in the literature to understand gamification misuse and inform future gamification designs. Therefore, this paper aims to fill this knowledge gap by conducting the first extensive qualitative research on gamification misuse in a popular learning app called Duolingo. Duolingo is currently the world's most downloaded learning app used to learn languages. This study consists of two phases: (I) a content analysis of data from Duolingo forums (from the past nine years) and (II) semi-structured interviews with 15 international Duolingo users. Our research contributes to the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Learning at Scale (L@S) research communities in three ways: (1) elaborating the ramifications of gamification misuse on user learning, well-being, and ethics, (2) identifying the most common reasons for gamification misuse (e.g., competitiveness, overindulgence in playfulness, and herding), and (3) providing designers with practical suggestions to prevent (or mitigate) the occurrence of gamification misuse in their future designs of gamified learning apps.

“…While fundamental cultural and structural differences exist between the Global South and the UK, our findings have documented cross-cutting mental health challenges (e.g., experiencing loneliness and trauma) and collective coping strategies (e.g., receiving social support within women-led communities of practice.) These findings highlight the importance of gaining cultural sensitivity and supporting people in enacting their identity and culture within new and changing life worlds [35,65,100].…”

A detailed understanding of the mental health needs of people from refugee backgrounds is crucial for the design of inclusive mental health technologies. We present a qualitative account of the digital mental health experiences of women from refugee backgrounds. Working with community members and community workers of a charitable organisation for refugee women in the UK, we identify social and structural challenges, including loneliness and access to mental health technologies. Participants' accounts document their collective agency in addressing these challenges and supporting social connectedness and personal wellbeing in daily life: participants reported taking part in community activities as volunteers, sharing technological expertise, and using a wide range of non-mental health-focused technologies to support their mental health, from playing games to supporting religious practices. Our findings suggest that, rather than focusing only on individual self-care, research also needs to leverage community-driven approaches to foster social mental health experiences, from altruism to connectedness and belonging.

“…In addition, feminist justice within Islamic law acknowledges the multifaceted nature of gender discrimination, recognizing that women's experiences are influenced by other intersecting elements like race, class, ethnicity, and sexuality (Duderija et al, 2020;Petersen, 2020). This approach emphasizes the importance of comprehensive and inclusive policies that tackle the varied needs and experiences of women in societies where Islam is the dominant religion (Mustafa et al, 2021;Okunade et al, 2023). Feminist justice within Islamic law aims to establish legal systems and cultural structures that prioritize gender equality, human rights, and the empowerment of women as active participants in determining their own futures (Shaw et al, 2019).…”

This literature study systematically analyzes the endeavor for feminist justice within Islamic courts, with a specific emphasis on initiatives aimed at promoting gender equality and women's rights in cultures predominantly populated by Muslims. Based on an extensive examination of current research, the review emphasizes important discoveries and understandings about how gender interacts with other aspects of identity, including as race, social status, and sexual orientation, in the framework of Islamic law. This highlights the importance of legal changes that aim to improve women's rights under family laws, tackle discriminatory practices, and encourage gender-sensitive decision-making in Islamic courts. The challenges that have been noted include opposition from conservative factions and religious authorities, obstacles inside institutions, and the complex interplay of gender inequity with other forms of discrimination. Future research should prioritize intersectional approaches, collaborative efforts, and inclusive dialogue among feminist scholars, activists, legal practitioners, and religious authorities. These measures are crucial for promoting feminist justice and safeguarding women's rights within Islamic legal frameworks. In summary, the study is a thorough analysis of the latest research and presents significant perspectives for policymakers, practitioners, and scholars who are dedicated to promoting gender equality and women's rights in cultures where Islam is the predominant religion. Research Highlights: Intersectionality in Islamic Legal Contexts: The research highlights the importance of recognizing the intersectionality of gender with other identity markers, such as race, class, and sexuality, within Islamic legal contexts. Understanding how these intersecting forms of oppression shape the experiences of marginalized groups is crucial for promoting inclusive and equitable legal frameworks. Legal Reforms for Women's Rights: It emphasizes the significance of legal reforms aimed at enhancing women's rights within family laws, including measures to grant women greater autonomy, protections against gender-based violence, and access to justice. These reforms are essential for challenging discriminatory practices and advancing gender equality within Islamic courts. Challenges and Barriers: The research identifies challenges and barriers to achieving feminist justice within Islamic legal frameworks, including resistance from conservative factions and religious authorities, institutional barriers, and the intersectional nature of gender inequality. Addressing these challenges requires sustained efforts and collaborative approaches. Call for Continued Advocacy: The research underscores the need for sustained efforts towards reform and advocacy to address challenges and barriers in advancing feminist agendas within Islamic legal frameworks. Continued collaboration and dialogue between stakeholders, including feminist scholars, activists, legal practitioners, and religious authorities, are essential for promoting gender equality and women's rights within Muslim-majority societies.
