Who Invented the Possum? What Historians Can Learn from Disabled Innovation in Britain's Responaut Communities.

This article provides a new exploration of disabled innovation that transforms our understanding of collective contributions to the history of science and technology. It does so by showing how a user network galvanized individual inventions into disabled expertise by tracking the development of two technologies-the Selectascan/Possum and the adapted Loudspeaking Telephone. Hamraie and Fritsch's 2019 "Crip Technoscience Manifesto" defined "disabled expertise" by exploring how disabled technology modification has been devalued. This article takes up their manifesto's challenge to combine disability history with science and technology studies by analyzing the technologies discussed in Responaut, a British quarterly magazine published between 1963 and 1989. Responauts were people who depended on respirators to breathe. This technological interdependence meant that users adapted an extraordinary variety of technologies to live well with respirators and modify their personal environment.

Study on the Path of Rural Tourism for Rural Revitalization under the Threshold of Value Co-Creation

Abstract Rural tourism presents multifaceted development and community participation as the core of rural tourism development also serves as a solid force for rural revitalization. Under the concept of value co-creation, community residents are involved in the entire process of rural tourism development, and their role is more significant. Studying the participation of community residents in rural tourism development is of great significance. In this paper, we construct a dynamic model of the rural tourism value chain using value co-creation and elaborate on the co-creation processes involved in the entire value creation process. Combined with the sample data to analyze the overall situation of rural tourism development, we collect data on the willingness of community residents to participate and construct a regression model of the factors influencing the willingness of community residents to participate in rural tourism. With the conclusion of the influencing factors analysis, we further analyze the motivation and behavior of community residents’ participation in the development of rural tourism and propose relevant strategies to optimize the path of rural revitalization with respect to the overall level of community participation. The correlation analysis of the influencing factors shows that the correlation coefficients of residents’ ability to participate, residents’ motivation to participate, residents’ attitude to participate, and the degree of community participation in rural tourism are 0.686, 0.785, and 0.706, respectively, all indicating positive correlation. Community residents’ participation in conservation behavior and responsibility and obligation motivation have a significant positive correlation. The correlation coefficient is 0.623, and the significance is 0.000, which indicates that community residents’ participation occupies an important position in the whole rural tourism development community, and the innovative community participation mechanism can significantly accelerate the development of rural revitalization.
