“About goats, girls, boys and the bees”
Sexuality is a taboo subject in many countries in Africa and Asia. Not talking about it can lead to problems, among others for young people who become sexually active or unplanned pregnant. In her dissertation 'About goats, girls, boys and the bees' Joanne Leerlooijer shows that sexual education of school going youth in Thailand (The World Starts With Me) can contribute to breaking these taboos. She also shows that the Teen Mother project ‘Adopt a Goat’ in Uganda can break taboos about pregnancy of unmarried teenage girls so that they can continue their elementary or secondary education.
Key words:
Human rights, sex education, Uganda, Thailand, teenage pregnancy

“IT Governance Transparency: an empirical assessment of information disclosures on IT governance”
Recognizing that firms are becoming increasingly dependent on Information Technology (IT) assets to achieve operational and strategic goals, it can also raise important issues, such as effective IT decision making and management control, IT investment priorities, and IT risk management. Information disclosure on the aforementioned activities can help the different stakeholders of a firm (for example, customers, investors, analysts) to assess the quality of IT governance activities. The dissertation contributes with a comprehensive IT governance disclosure framework to better understand how firms communicate their IT governance activities.
Key words:

“Community Based Education and Professional Competencies: A study of institutional structures, perspectives and practices in Pakistan”
This thesis concerns Community Based Education (CBE) within the undergraduate medical and nursing programs. Presently, bulk of literature on CBE is devoted to describe what it is and its various models implemented world-wide. However, there is little advice on how to effectively integrate CBE in Health Professions Education (HPE), therefore, in this context four research studies were carried out in various HPE institutes and health care settings of Pakistan. The perspectives and practices of policy makers, academic leaders, faculty and graduates were explored to recommend evidence based revisions in curricula and instructional designs for effectively integrating CBE in undergraduate HPE programs.
Key words:
Community Based Education, Health Professions Education, Pakistan
