First Peoples economic landscape: analysis of the ecosystem

PurposeThis paper focuses on First Peoples Founders of for-profit entities in Australia and the role of the Indigenous Economic Development Agencies (IEDAs). We explore the challenges facing First Peoples enterprises, influenced by historical exclusion from white settler society, and the practices of the IEDAs from the perspectives of Founders and agencies.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative study utilising Indigenous Standpoint Theory and Indigenous research methods, elevating Founder perspectives, in the Yaruwu language - the Nilangany Ngarrungunil, owners of knowledge, to that of research collaborators.FindingsThe First Peoples economic landscape is continually evolving with IEDAs contributing to that evolution despite contentious identity ownership definitions. Founders secure in their own identity, are focused on self-determination and opportunities provided by IEDAs, government and corporate sector policies. However, opportunities are undermined by ongoing racism, discrimination and prevailing stereotypes leading to homogeneity, invisibility and exclusion. Founders question organisational commitments to overcoming systemic exclusion in particular their commitment to building respectful relationships and understanding First Peoples ways of working. Instead, Founders focus on building a sustainable First Peoples economic ecosystem through relationship-based practices rather than transactional reconciliation which ignores the reality of the lived experience of everyday racism.Originality/valueThis study extends the scholarly discourse on First Peoples for-profit enterprise success written with an Indigenous voice. We demonstrate how this Founder generation are strengthened by culture with identity infused in organisational practices underpinning their aspirations of economic self-determination.

Embedded hegemony and the evolution of the United States’ structural power

Whilst the United States’ (US) economic hegemony has existed continuously since the end of World War II, it has not been realised in the same way. In the early post-war period, the US’s hegemony rested on its dominance over gross world product and manufacturing output and exports. However, by the 1970s it began to transition to high-technology industries, services and foreign investment. Using a structural power analysis, this article argues that this transition in the economic foundations of US hegemony was not a reaction to an exogenous shift in the international division of labour, but was rather the result of the endogenous policies, decisions and priorities of the US. Moreover, the article illustrates how the interaction between the four aspects of structural power (security, production, finance and information) determined how these new hegemonic interests were embedded in international institutions and norms to better project US power globally. Through a historical analysis, the article demonstrates that the four aspects of structural power went from mutually reinforcing each other in the early post-war period to detracting from each other from the mid-1960s. This spurred a managed transition by the US from one embedded hegemonic order to another. The result was the construction of contemporary US embedded hegemonic order based on dollar hegemony (financial structural power) and the internationalisation of US corporate dominance (productive structural power), supported by the private ownership of knowledge by US corporations (informational structural power). The article also considers the implications of this analysis for current challenges to the contemporary hegemonic order.

Student voices in creative teaching practices with digital media: a meta-ethnographic research

ABSTRACT This paper gathers 14 ethnographic studies in a meta-ethnographic research to generate knowledge on the possibilities of creative teaching practices with digital media from an ethnographic perspective to promote inclusive education in schools. It explores common details between the articles using cross-case aggregation, which allows to get to know how digital media is used inside pre-primary, primary and secondary classrooms in depth. This research followed the seven phases established by Noblit and Hare in 1988. The results reflect on how teachers are using digital media considering students’ voices and interests, listening their voices through knowledge ownership, and promoting interaction between all. The articles also consider new ways of acting and developing from the opportunity that digital media provides in disadvantaged contexts. Studies show spaces mediated by digital media in which the students find their voices and give voice to their thoughts, feelings, and learnings.

Masculinized discourses of STEM interest, performance, and competence that shape university STEM students' recognition of a “STEM person”

AbstractHow individuals come to perceive themselves in STEM is predicated on their understanding of what it means to be a member of the STEM community. This association is consequential when considering the perpetuation of white male ownership of STEM knowledge and power that forces learners identifying with groups systemically marginalized by racial and gender discrimination to adopt particular norms, values, and behaviors to gain recognition. In effect, these expectations help to maintain masculinized Discourses as STEM professionals are encultured to apply the same recognition criteria to which they were judged themselves. We examine how these Discourses are maintained even as learners who identify with groups that carry histories of systemic marginalization by racist, sexist, and elitist practices gain access to STEM communities. Specifically, we explore how university STEM students attending a Hispanic Serving Institution in the United States articulate gendered expectations of STEM membership through their characterization of themselves and others as (not) STEM people. Drawing from theories in Discourse, social identity, and feminist critiques of science, we describe how students implicitly recognize STEM identity in gendered ways. We discuss how our findings illuminate the mechanisms by which STEM recognition is afforded by pointing to its dependence on masculinized displays of STEM performances, competence, and interests, leading to a cycle of marginalization as learners are encultured to perpetuate existing STEM Discourses in their recognition of others. We discuss research implications for measurements of STEM identity that do not account for gendered Discourses and offer practical implications for the design of learning experiences that co‐opt existing Discourses to inoculate gendered perceptions of a STEM person prototype. Lastly, we present a case for elevating the role of maternal caregivers and family immigration histories in STEM identity construction.

According to one buyer, this peanut brittle is different from the others in terms of packaging and this peanut brittle is good. So peanut brittle is one food that can increase the market price significantly if it has good packaging.

Challenges and Strategies for Knowledge Co-Production in Ecosystem and Natural Hazards Research

The grand environmental challenges society faces cannot be solved without knowledge contributions from communities that are touched by the outcomes and impacts of research. Recognizing and valuing these sources, a research method known as co-production of knowledge involves collaboration of interested parties and knowledge owners in activities ranging from identifying research needs to study design, data collection, interpretation, and evaluation. We present a novel approach to the administrative and financial support for knowledge co-production developed by Oregon Sea Grant and provide examples from two funded project teams. We summarize barriers to these approaches, discuss points of symmetry, and propose good practices. One project emphasized equitable alternative strategies for chronic and acute coastal hazard adaptation and mitigation. The other project looked beyond dam removal in the Klamath River Basin to generate place-based and generalizable understanding of, and equitable decisions around, water quality and socio-ecological systems undergoing change. Both projects provide high-level lessons regarding opportunities and challenges encountered in the engaged research process, highlighting flexibility and adaptability as two important considerations.

Revitalization and Digital Preservation of Indigenous Knowledge Systems for Sustainable Development of Indigenous Communities in South Africa

ABSTRACT South Africa has been regarded as one of the African countries with rich in culture and repository of knowledge referred to as indigenous knowledge. This knowledge is a significant resource which could contribute to the sustainability development of rural communities and society at large. Given that this valuable knowledge is irreplaceable, its promotion and protection is critical. Digital preservation has become a popular method for revitalization and safeguarding indigenous knowledge in recent years. The purpose of this study was to determine how digital preservation can be used in enhancing long-term access to indigenous knowledge for sustainable development of indigenous communities in South Africa. This study used literature review to investigate strategies being established in South Africa and different parts of the world to revitalize and digitally preserve indigenous knowledge for the benefits of indigenous communities. This study established that indigenous knowledge owners and their communities do not have mechanisms and policy being put in place for effective digital preservation of their indigenous knowledge. The study thus recommends that anticolonial strategies and policy in the protection of indigenous knowledge systems be implemented and be the subject of a real training and awareness raising programme for community members.

Techniques in Preserving Traditional Medicinal Knowledge in uMhlathuze in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa

ABSTRACT This article examined the techniques used in preserving traditional medicinal knowledge in UMhlathuze in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. Four research objectives guided the study: to determine the types of traditional medicinal knowledge owners in uMhlathuze area; to determine techniques used by traditional medicinal knowledge owners in preserving their traditional medicinal knowledge; to establish the effectiveness of the techniques used by traditional medicinal knowledge owners in preserving their traditional medicinal knowledge and to identify the challenges associated with the preservation of traditional medicinal knowledge. The study adopted qualitative research approach underpinned by the interpretivism research paradigm, in order to understand the techniques or strategies used to preserve traditional medicinal knowledge, guided by Nonaka's knowledge creation model. Qualitative data was collected through interviews (primarily through open-ended questions incorporated in semi-structured interviews with traditional medicinal knowledge practitioners) and content analysis was used for qualitative data obtained from lliterature review and document analysis. The study interviewed fifteen (15) traditional medicinal knowledge practitioners in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, included diviners (Izangoma), herbalists (Izinyanga), and faith healers/prophets (Abathandazi). The study identified the abundance, accessibility, and usage of traditional medicinal knowledge for the benefit of both owners and users of this knowledge. The findings reveal that the traditional medicinal practitioners employed various strategies, such as notebooks and diaries to record and preserve their knowledge. Traditional medicinal knowledge practitioners also passed on their therapeutic experiences to their loved ones. Even though most traditional medicinal knowledge practitioners used a written form of preservation, several obstacles were recognised when conserving knowledge. The lack of education, skills and ability to use technological gadgets to their full potential made conserving traditional medicinal knowledge challenging. The study recommends that traditional medicinal knowledge should be captured, stored, retrieved, and disseminated via technological devices.

TERRITÓRIOS DA EDUCAÇÃO AMBIENTAL: RESUMO DE ESTRATÉGIAS E EXPERIÊNCIAS EDUCATIVAS DE CENTROS DE RECONDICIONAMENTO DE COMPUTADORES

This article presents the main results of a study on the strategies and experiences of environmental education carried out by the network of Computer Reconditioning Centers (CRC) of the Computers for Inclusion Program, focusing on their relationship with space. The study, with a qualitative approach and exploratory-descriptive design, used documentary research as its main methodological procedure research. The analysis was carried out in two stages. The first, to get closer to the research object, was carried out by adapting the cartography of environmental education currents proposed by Lucie Sauvé. The second took as its categories of analysis references from Miltonian geography and the bibliography on Educating Cities, in which we sought to compose a theoretical-methodological framework to understand the relationship that this CRC network establishes with the different territories where it operates. From the systematization exercises carried out, it was possible to identify and describe the different approaches to environmental education carried out in this network. The intentions and actions expressed articulate two major challenges: the CRCs' action on socio-spatial inequalities and their confrontation with the logic of socio-digital exclusion. Environmental education, as a field of knowledge and a field of educational action in contemporary Brazil, needs to deal with processes of exclusion engendered in the technical-scientific-informational environment by a logic of production that is not at the service of life. Through different strategies, environmental education actions in CRCs invite young people and adults to take ownership of learning, knowledge and spaces, giving new meanings to their territories.

Authors guide the readers’ critical reflections on how best art and design educators could uphold students’ creative identities, their involvement in assessment, technology adaptation during object-based learning and the relevance of peer involvement in learning processes. Implementation of art pedagogies that enhance individual skills competences is considered imperative when considering students’ level of engagement, ownership of knowledge and their development of self-esteem within the field of art, design and technology.

Kepemilikan Common Property Pada Pengetahuan Tradisional

This article discusses the concept of traditional knowledge and examines policy directions related to common property in Indonesia. Protection of traditional knowledge is not only the existence of intellectual works produced by indigenous peoples, but solely due to environmental factors and indigenous peoples which give special characteristics to products produced by an indigenous community. Thus traditional knowledge can provide protection to an object that is part of common property and not part of private property. This research is normative juridical research with a conceptual approach related to copyright and common property. The results of the study show that the concept of collective-communal ownership basically originates from the existence of a community unit that feels a sense of togetherness in owning something with the same interests and refers to the existence of rights that can be enjoyed by many people or groups. Meanwhile, in relation to traditional knowledge as part of common property, it can be interpreted that society as a whole has the same opportunity to enjoy the potential contained in this traditional knowledge. From the study of collective and communal concepts in the realm of customary law, the ownership of traditional knowledge is inherent in collective communal characteristics. The existence of this special characteristic of ownership indicates the need for the development of principles in the realm of copyright. Therefore, Indonesia should have a law specifically related to common property.

Impact of financial inclusion on household welfare in Ethiopia

Despite the overwhelming consensus on the positive effect of financial inclusion on economic outcomes, there is limited rigorous micro-econometric evidence on the causal impact of financial inclusion on household welfare in Ethiopia. This study uses the 2018 Ethiopian Socioeconomic Survey data and an endogenous switching regression model to investigate the determinants and the causal impact of financial inclusion on multiple measures of household welfare. The results suggest that households headed by older, more educated, wage or self-employed people in the non-agricultural sector are more likely to access financial services, as are those headed by non-Muslims. In addition, greater financial access appears to be associated with membership in a local social group (iddir), ownership of mobile phones, credit information, and knowledge of how to open bank accounts, but negatively associated with the distance from the household’s residence to the nearest formal financial institution. This study further indicates that financial inclusion has a positive and statistically significant impact on multiple household welfare indicators. The most considerable impact of access to formal financial institutions is on utility spending, followed by total expenditure, food expenditure, and education spending. These findings thus suggest that policies geared toward improving household access to formal financial institutions are essential to enhance household welfare in Ethiopia.

Sales of Intellectual Property Rights According to Islamic Law: Development Process and Permission

The concept of rights has emerged with the existence of humanity and has been present throughout history. Legal scholars of each era have used this concept according to their own legal norms. It is also one of the fundamental concepts in legal literature. In ancient times, obtaining knowledge was difficult and limited. Therefore, materials containing knowledge held special importance. The concept of "intellectual property" did not have a legal basis as a property right and subject of sale in the First and Middle Ages. However, after the invention of the printing press, intellectual property became an issue as a right belonging to the owner of knowledge. Intellectual property rights, primarily copyright and industrial property rights, started to develop a legal framework and became established since the invention of the printing press. Technological advancements led people to new inventions and discoveries. As a result, there was a need for legal regulations concerning the transfer of intellectual property rights to others. Consequently, these rights gained economic significance and became an integral part of life. Intellectual property rights result from combining mental effort and labor to create a product. The owner of the mental product is granted certain rights. One of these rights is the ability to transfer the mental product to someone else, whether for a fee or free of charge. In this context, the Ottoman Empire and other Islamic countries did not remain indifferent to the issue. Especially with the arrival of the printing press in the Ottoman Empire, the protection of intellectual property rights became an agenda item. Islamic jurists reinterpreted these rights by deriving them from Islamic legal norms. The first legal regulation in the Ottoman Empire regarding intellectual property rights is the Copyright Regulation of 1857. The fundamental basis of these efforts is the inclusion of rights and interests in sales transactions. When looking at the main conclusion of the study, the views of the majority and Hanafi scholars stand out regarding the sale of these rights. In conclusion, the majority views rights and interests as property. According to them, the sale of intellectual property rights is permissible. However, early Hanafi scholars did not find the sale of rights and interests permissible. Nevertheless, later Hanafi scholars allowed the transfer of these rights to another party in exchange for compensation. Contemporary Islamic jurists evaluated the sale of intellectual property rights by focusing on the usage of rights and interests in jurisprudential literature. Ultimately, the majority of Islamic scholars consider the sale of intellectual property rights permissible. The lack of an independent study on the subject motivated us to conduct research on this topic. Our study is primarily based on written sources. The study discusses the possibility of selling intellectual property rights according to Islamic law. Especially when these rights are considered in the context of transferable rights (those that change location when transferred to another), their sale is permissible. This is because the view of all scholars from different schools of thought is that the transfer of transferable rights for compensation is permissible. * This study was prepared on the basis of master’s thesis which title “Sale of Intellectual Property Rights According to Islamic Law” which has continued undur the supervion of assoc Dr. Orazsahet ORAZOV (Zonguldak: Bülent Ecevit University, Graduate Education Institute, master’s thesis, 2023).

Climate & Language: An Entangled Crisis

Abstract Rising ocean levels threaten entire communities with relocation. The continued erosion of Arctic coastlines due to melting ice sheets and thawing permafrost has forced Inuit communities to move to more secure locations. Each move dislodges Indigenous peoples and their languages from ancestral landscapes and ways of knowing, obligating communities to adopt colonial or majority languages. Scholars and activists have documented the intersections of climate change and language endangerment, with special focus paid to their compounding consequences. We consider the relationship between language and environmental ideologies, synthesizing previous research on how metaphors and communicative norms in Indigenous and colonial languages and cultures influence environmental beliefs and actions. We note that these academic discourses-as well as similar discourses in nonprofit and policy-making spheres-rightly acknowledge the importance of Indigenous thought to environmental and climate action. Sadly, they often fall short of acknowledging both the colonial drivers of Indigenous language “loss” and Indigenous ownership of Indigenous language and environmental knowledge. We propose alternative framings that emphasize colonial responsibility and Indigenous sovereignty. Finally, we reflect on emergent vitalities and radical hope in Indigenous language movements and climate justice movements.

Tech for Collaboration

The utilization of Indigenous Knowledge in natural resource management frameworks, including environmental assessments, is increasingly being recognized as an important asset by the environmental community. This is because Indigenous Knowledge, which has been developed over generations by Indigenous communities, can lead to the development of more effective and equitable resource management practices that are aligned with local needs, cultural values, and ecological knowledge. At the same time, Participatory Geographic Information Systems (PGIS) are also emerging as a valuable tool for storing and mobilizing information towards natural resource management. Considering shifts in the environmental community around natural resource management and the use of IK, and the potential of PGIS, the incorporation of Indigenous Knowledge into PGIS raises important ethical questions regarding knowledge ownership and sharing, and there are challenges and limitations to implementing Indigenous Knowledge-based PGIS platforms. This research paper seeks to explore the application of Indigenous Knowledge in natural resource management through a scoping review or relevant literature, including case studies of PGIS platforms used by Indigenous communities, both in Canada and abroad. The paper addresses the following key questions: How can Indigenous Knowledge be applied towards natural resource management frameworks and environmental assessments? How can Indigenous knowledge be stored and mobilised within PGIS platforms for future generations? What are the challenges and limitations surrounding the implementation of Indigenous Knowledge within PGIS platforms in natural resource management? What are the ethics surrounding Indigenous Knowledge-based PGIS platforms? The paper reveals that integrating Indigenous Knowledge into natural resource management frameworks can lead to sustainable management practices. The paper also demonstrates that PGIS platforms have the potential to facilitate knowledge sharing and collaboration among communities, but their implementation requires careful considerations of the challenges and limitations associated within Indigenous Knowledge-based systems. Balancing the need to share knowledge across communities with protecting intellectual property rights and the cultural significance of Indigenous Knowledge is crucial. The implementation of PGIS platforms also requires significant technological infrastructure and skills, requiring significant human resources, which can be challenging for Indigenous communities with limited resources.

Dumagat tribes and tourism industry engagement in promoting cultural integrity

Dumagats live in a remote mountainous region on the northern island of Luzon. Indigenous peoples' reliance on local resources decreases as a result of tourism, which increases their reliance on a globalized economy. Respecting and upholding the ownership of objects, customs, and knowledge that are unique to a specific culture or community is known as practicing cultural integrity. The Dumagat and Alta have a close relationship with nature; they continue to live according to their customs and engage in traditional activities including farming, fishing, and hunting. “Subkal’n- is’suwi” that they inherit from their ancestors. Local and indigenous knowledge refers to the understandings, skills, and philosophies developed by societies with long histories of interaction with their natural surroundings. The researchers recommend that the government provide the dumagats livelihood so they can engage in their community like, pig raising, poultry, and crop farming; assimilate traditions in their daily life; Education can boost the self-esteem of the tribe members and change their perspective. Tribal leaders should encourage young tribe members to attend school in order to preserve the cultural integrity of the tribe. Tribe members learn the value of themselves. People ought to leave their comfort zones and look for chances outside of the mountains. The researchers' proposed answer will be to make the best possible use of these promotional variables in order to secure and ensure the preservation of the cultural integrity of the dumagat tribes, which the tribe and the government believe important to promote.

Incoming professionals’ perspectives on the application of new knowledge in care organisations for people with intellectual disabilities: a concept mapping study

Objectives Within care organisations for people with intellectual disabilities, numerous strategies are employed to stimulate the application of new knowledge, and professionals play a key role in this process. Consequently, gaining insight into professionals’ perspectives on how to encourage the application of new knowledge is vital, especially in the case of incoming professionals. They have a stronger need for new knowledge due to having acquired only a limited knowledge base about intellectual disabilities in their education. Therefore, this study focused on the incoming professionals’ perspectives on factors stimulating application of new knowledge within the care and support for people with intellectual disabilities. Methods A concept mapping study was conducted with incoming support staff, psychologists, and intellectual disabilities physicians. Data collection included brainstorming, pile sorting and rating to create three concept maps, which were interpreted by experts. Results Overall, the participants generated 234 statements. Incoming support staff primarily expressed their preference for experiential and work-based learning and described their role as being knowledge receivers. Incoming psychologists and physicians expressed their ownership of knowledge in requesting opportunities to develop themselves. Conclusion To enhance incoming professionals’ application of new knowledge, care organisations for people with intellectual disabilities can encourage professionals in manifold ways, ranging from providing (in)formal learning opportunities and accessible sites to creating a learning culture.
