Agricultural Policy – Some Theoretical Considerations

Forensic Science in Rwanda

Developments, Synergies and New Actions

Forschungsergebnisse aus dem Institut für Rechtsmedizin der Universität Hamburg

Looking at Rwanda’s past and considering its future with the aim of becoming a middle-income nation makes it obvious that forensic medicine is a required need for the development of the nation. Some of the crimes of the past may still be unresolved due to lack of forensic medicine capabilities, and yet the rate of development could now mean even more sophistication in crime, which will call for equally advanced techniques in forensic practice.

A Historical Overview of Selected Action Research Concepts

Methoden der Sozialforschung

The 20th century witnessed significant advancements in the domain of social sciences, characterised by methodological and epistemological discourses among positivist, critical-theoretical, and constructivist frameworks. Attempts to unify these sciences under a single framework gave rise to considerable tensions and the emergence of new paradigms.

A significant development was action research, which was introduced by Kurt Lewin in the 1930s and 1940s. While…
