Assistive technology as a catalyst for development, employment, entrepreneurship, and inclusive growth in Africa
Deadline 2026-09-27Taylor & FrancisIndexed (Active)
Journal: Disability and Rehabilitation: Assistive Technology
Assistive technology (AT) is a critical enabler of health, education, employment, entrepreneurship, and social participation for many people experiencing impairments due to disease, trauma or increasing age. Across Africa, access to AT remains fragmented, inequitable, and insufficient to support meaningful inclusion in education, transition from school to work, and economic participation. A recent mapping of academi…

Beyond Compliance and Control: Human Trust, Mental Models, and Cognitive Adaptation from Automated to AI-Augmented Work
Deadline 2026-10-15Taylor & FrancisIndexed (Active)ABS/AJG 3
Journal: Ergonomics
Background and Motivation The relationship between human operators and automated systems has been a defining concern of ergonomics since Bainbridge’s (1983) seminal account of the ironies of automation. For decades, the field has framed this relationship in terms of compliance and control: how well operators monitor, understand, and override machines that were designed to support them. Measures of mental workload, s…

Fair Medicine Prices and Enhancing Pharmaceutical Affordability: Pharmaceutical Pricing
Deadline 2026-11-30Taylor & FrancisIndexed (Active)
Journal: Journal of Pharmaceutical Policy and Practice
Access to medicines is a fundamental human right and medicines pricing is a key determining factor. It is important to note that the countries with a fair pricing mechanism have generated relatively lower prices in international terms for their patients and citizens. The evidence from Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) suggests that limited price regulation can lead to higher prices. High medicine pricing is a…
