Geoparks Twinning Agreements, A Vision from Formality and Territorial Links. Mixteca Alta (Mexico) and Napo Sumaco (Ecuador) Geoparks as Comparative Cases

AbstractCurrently, geoparks represent territories with great potential for the generation of educational and conservation processes, with productive and community development strategies through geotourism, using their natural and unique attributes, in a coordinated effort to improve the quality of life of their communities, based on the sustainable use of sites of geological interest of global importance. On the way to the construction of geoparks, territories find elements in common with other territories pursuing similar objectives, which leads to the creation of synergies and commonwealths. Working together in a network represents one of the most solid pillars of the geoparks, being a fundamental contribution to society. Geopark twinning is an alternative to promote micro-partnerships between geoparks with similar conditions and characteristics, which allow strengthening internal processes, as well as the exchange of knowledge, strategies and experiences, and the strengthening of institutional and management capacities. In addition, twinning arrangements are management tools that also serve as instruments to merge and unite identities in territories that are compatible in several areas, beyond geological heritage. In this sense, the present work shows the case studies of Mixteca Alta UNESCO Global Geopark (MAUGG) and Napo Sumaco Aspiring UNESCO Global Geopark (NSAUGG), where twinning arises from aspects such as community management, traditions, cultural approaches, worldview towards the land and its use. In both territories there is a high population of local indigenous groups: Mixtecos (Mexico) and Napo Runa (Ecuador), with agricultural customs based on their limitations or environmental conditions, such as the development of lamabordos and chacras; moreover, the decision-making systems are based on the competence and trust that the population has in their leaders, and not in political or partisan conflicts (election by uses and customs). Finally, their vision of the territory is based on respect for the environment and the beings that are part of it, and on giving a sacred conception to what provides them with food and life.

Hunting for Sustainability: Indigenous Stewardship in the Cofán Territory of Zábalo

ABSTRACTIndigenous lands are increasingly recognized for their critical role in biodiversity conservation. However, concerns persist about the sustainability of hunting practices within these territories. This study investigates the long‐term impact of Indigenous hunting practices on wildlife populations in the Cofán territory of Zábalo, Ecuador. We employed line transect surveys to estimate wildlife densities over three periods (2001–2003, 2006–2009, and 2018), focusing on 16 species that are integral to local livelihoods and subject to community management. Our results indicate generally stable or increasing populations for most species, particularly in nonhunted areas, where spatial restrictions are enforced. The Cofán's ability to sustainably manage relations between humans and wildlife is largely attributable to their adaptive management system, which includes species‐specific regulations and spatial zoning, and is realized through community decision‐making, knowledge sharing, and an ethos of care. These findings demonstrate that Indigenous stewardship can effectively sustain biodiversity in complex biocultural systems. The study underscores the importance of integrating Indigenous knowledge with scientific approaches to achieve long‐term conservation goals.

Unravelling the knowledge matrix: exploring knowledge-sharing behaviours on market-based platforms using regression tree analysis

PurposeThis study aims to enhance the effectiveness of knowledge markets and overall knowledge management (KM) practices within organisations. By addressing the challenge of internal knowledge stickiness, it seeks to demonstrate how machine learning and AI approaches, specifically a text-based AI method for personality assessment and regression trees for behavioural analysis, can automate and personalise knowledge market incentivisation mechanisms.Design/methodology/approachThe research employs a novel approach by integrating machine learning methodologies to overcome the limitations of traditional statistical methods. A natural language processing (NLP)-based AI tool is used to assess employees’ personalities, and regression tree analysis is applied to predict and categorise behavioural patterns in knowledge-sharing contexts. This approach is designed to capture the complex interplay between individual personality traits and environmental factors, which traditional methods often fail to adequately address.FindingsCognitive style was confirmed as a key predictor of knowledge-sharing, with extrinsic motivators outweighing intrinsic ones in market-based platforms. These findings underscore the significance of diverse combinations of environmental and individual factors in promoting knowledge sharing, offering key insights that can inform the automatic design of personalised interventions for community managers of such platforms.Originality/valueThis research stands out as it is the first to empirically explore the interaction between the individual and the environment in shaping actual knowledge-sharing behaviours, using advanced methodologies. The increased automation in the process extends the practical contribution of this study, enabling a more efficient, automated assessment process, and thus making critical theoretical and practical advancements in understanding and enhancing knowledge-sharing behaviours.

The Multifaceted Soils of Himachal Pradesh, India: Types and Characteristics

The soils of Himachal Pradesh face a multitude of pressing issues that threaten their health and agricultural productivity. The diverse geographical features, temperature regimes and biological zones of Himachal Pradesh have resulted into a vast range of soil types in the state. Alpine, forest, alluvial and sub-mountain soils are the four major soil categories into which the state's soils can be generally divided. Only a particular species and adapted plants can thrive in the extreme weather circumstances of alpine soils, which are located at higher elevations and possess soils having thin, stony and acidic in reaction. The mid-hill areas are dominated by forest soils which are distinguished by their high levels of organic matter and nutrients. These soils support luxuriant vegetation and make effective agricultural methods possible. Alluvial soils, which are mostly found in river valleys and are deposited by ravine systems are extremely rich and perfect in fertility and suitable for growing a range of crops including vegetables, rice and maize. Located in the foothills, sub-mountain soil exhibits a blend of traits from alluvial and forest soils, thus providing a range of uses for horticulture and agriculture. In addition to supporting a diverse array of plant and animal life, Himachal Pradesh's varied soil types are vital to the region's agricultural economy. One of the biggest problems is soil erosion, which is made worse by the steep terrain and abundant rainfall in the area. This results in the loss of topsoil and decreased fertility. Deforestation, overgrazing, and unsustainable farming methods all contribute to land degradation, which further reduces biodiversity and soil quality. Furthermore, crop development is impacted by soil acidity in high-altitude regions, which restricts nutrient availability. However, these issues need efficient conservation measures and soil management techniques. In order to maintain Himachal Pradesh's rich biodiversity and agricultural potential for future generations, sustainable agricultural development and environmental protection in this ecologically sensitive area depend on an understanding of the complex soil dynamics. Addressing these interconnected issues requires a comprehensive approach, emphasizing sustainable land management practices, community engagement, and restoration efforts to preserve the vital soil resources of this ecologically sensitive region.

The Connection of Place, Routine Activity, and Financial Exploitation of Older Adults in a Large Retirement Community

ABSTRACT Financial exploitation of older adults is a rapidly growing social problem, and research in this area has largely focused on individual-level risk factors with the role of the community not considered. Given the rapid expansion of retirement communities across the United States, these areas may be emerging as hotspots for financial exploitation. This study presented officially reported administrative trend data on reported cases of financial exploitation and analyzed focus group and interview data collected from 80 residents of a large retirement community to assess the self-reported role of the community on older adults’ financial exploitation experiences and perceptions of risk. Study participants overwhelmingly expressed that they were targeted for financial exploitation immediately and repeatedly after moving into the retirement community and much more frequently than they had experienced before moving. Participants believed they were seen as vulnerable targets and adequate protection measures were not implemented by the retirement community’s management. Retirement community managers and local criminal justice officials should recognize that residents of retirement communities may be at risk for financial exploitation and implement prevention and response strategies.

Fairness in energy communities: Centralized and decentralized frameworks

This research discusses fairness in energy communities while investigating two types of organizations for operation and cost-sharing. On the one hand, centralized architectures consist of operating community assets in a coordinated manner with a central controller before a community manager shares the overall benefits between the users. Four sharing strategies are investigated and implemented in a monthly post-delivery phase. In contrast, in decentralized architectures, each user operates its assets independently. In such frameworks, the costs/benefits are usually shared among users through market-based mechanisms that rely on users' bids. This work then explores the Pool market and Peer-to-peer transactions to investigate the impact of different bidding from the users' perspective. Ultimately, all the proposed centralized and decentralized approaches (10 in total) are assessed based on economic performances at both users' and community levels. Specific attention is paid to fairness within the community, which is challenging. Three indexes derived from economy and game theory are then considered, along with metrics tailored for energy communities. Results from a seven-user community indicate that the pool market systematically returns considerable savings among decentralized frameworks compared to peer-to-peer markets. More importantly, centralized frameworks systematically yield the most significant bill reduction (16 %) and fairer cost allocation compared to decentralized frameworks.

“I’d just love to hear what the community has to say”: Exploring the potential of community-driven vaccine messaging amongst ethnic minority communities

ABSTRACT Community-based communication interventions improve health outcomes and foster positive behavioral changes across diverse populations. However, their potential to support vaccine readiness remains underexplored. This paper addresses this gap by investigating the opinions and preferences of ethnic minority community members who attended a health information session regarding community-delivered vaccine messaging. The study explored the perceptions and willingness to engage in community-led communication efforts about vaccination, focusing on COVID-19 booster vaccines. In-depth interviews were conducted between November and December 2023 with individuals from ethnic minority communities in Central Eastern Sydney who attended an information session about COVID-19 boosters. Four key themes emerged from speaking to this specific group, highlighting diverse communication preferences and intentions. Participants emphasized obtaining vaccine-related knowledge from various sources, particularly through interpersonal discussions. Trusted voices like general practitioners (GPs) and targeted media campaigns were deemed to be crucial. Recommendations included leveraging community champions and establishing a central body for efficient vaccination campaign management in multicultural communities. Personal engagement through community discussions was stressed, with inclusive spaces recommended in various settings. Effective strategies include transparent communication, credible health professional endorsement, and addressing concerns with balanced responses. The findings accentuate the potential effectiveness of grassroots, community-centric initiatives in promoting informed vaccine messaging, countering misinformation, and engaging communities in meaningful health dialogs. Further research on tailored communication and strategic partnerships could enhance this initiative and promote sustained health literacy within ethnic minority communities.

Microbial community structure in recovering forests of Mount St. Helens

IntroductionThe 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens had devastating effects above and belowground in forested montane ecosystems, including the burial and destruction of soil microbes. Soil microbial propagules and legacies in recovering ecosystems are important for determining post-disturbance successional trajectories. Soil microorganisms regulate nutrient cycling, interact with many other organisms, and therefore may support successional pathways and complementary ecosystem functions, even in harsh conditions. Historic forest management methods, such as old-growth and clearcut regimes, and locations of small mammal enclo and clearcut forests, as well as in locations of historic short-term gopher enclosures (Thomomys talpoides), to evaluate community response to forest management practices and to examine vectors for dispersing microbial consortia to the surface of the volcanic landscape. These biotic interactions may have primed ecological succession in the volcanic landscape, specifically Bear Meadow and the Pumice Plain, by creating microsite conditions conducive to primary succession and plant establishment.Methods and resultsUsing molecular techniques, we examined bacterial, fungal, and AMF communities to determine how these variables affected microbial communities and soil properties. We found that bacterial/archaeal 16S, fungal ITS2, and AMF SSU community composition varied among forestry practices and across sites with long-term lupine plots and gopher enclosures. The findings also related to detected differences in C and N concentrations and ratios in soil from our study sites. Fungal communities from previously clearcut locations were less diverse than in gopher plots within the Pumice Plain. Yet, clearcut meadows harbored fewer ancestral AM fungal taxa than were found within the old-growth forest.DiscussionBy investigating both forestry practices and mammals in microbial dispersal, we evaluated how these interactions may have promoted revegetation and ecological succession within the Pumice Plains of Mount St. Helens. In addition to providing evidence about how dispersal vectors and forest structure influence post-eruption soil microbiomes, this project also informs research and management communities about belowground processes and microbial functional traits in facilitating succession and ecosystem function.

Diabetes Control and Clinical Outcomes among Children Attending a Regional Paediatric Diabetes Service in Australia

Australian children with diabetes commonly struggle to achieve optimal glycaemic control, with minimal improvement observed over the past decade. The scarcity of research in the rural and regional Australian context is concerning, given high incidence rates and prominent barriers to healthcare access in these areas. We conducted a retrospective audit of 60 children attending a regional Australian paediatric diabetes service between January 2020 and December 2023. The majority of patients had type 1 diabetes (n = 57, 95.0%); approximately equal numbers were managed with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) pumps vs. multiple daily injections (MDIs), whilst 88.3% (n = 53) also utilised continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). The mean age at last visit was 14.0 years (SD, 3.4), mean diabetes duration 5.8 years (SD, 4.6), and mean HbA1c level 8.1% (65.3 mmol/mol); only 36.8% achieved the national target of 7.5% (58 mmol/mol). Mean BMI-SDS was 0.8 (SD, 1.0); almost half (n = 27, 45.0%) were overweight or obese. Many patients had mental health conditions (31.7%), which were associated with higher hospitalisation rates (p = 0.007). The attendance rate was 83.2%, with a mean of 3.3 clinic visits per year (SD, 0.7); higher attendance rates were associated with increased CGM sensor usage (r = 0.395, p = 0.007 Overall, the diabetes service performed similarly to other clinics with regards to glycaemic control. Whilst achieving treatment targets and addressing comorbidities remains a challenge, the decent attendance and the high uptake of healthcare technologies is commendable. Further efforts are needed to improve diabetes management for this regional community.

Leveraging capabilities of social media marketing for business success

Social media platforms viewed as an integrated resources in marketing capabilities, yet there is a significant shortage and fragmentation of research articulating the dimensions of social media marketing (SMM) capabilities and their influence on brand and firm performance. The aim of this study in to investigate the influence SMM capabilities on brand equity and firm performance. Using a survey method, we gathered data from 326 firm presented at four separate exhibitions in Algeria. The structural equation modeling results shows that SMM capabilities have a positive effect on brand equity and firm performance. Furthermore, the findings shown that brand equity effect firm performance and plays a complementary role between SMM capabilities and firm performance. However, SMM capabilities have been found to have no influence on brand equity furthermore, there is no moderating effect for firm size on any of the investigated relations. The findings significantly contribute the understanding of the SMM as strategic resources and dynamic capabilities, guiding community managers, content creators, and digital analysis to optimize social media platforms abilities for communication.

How online social community participation affect product stickiness: a study on green energy technology product

PurposeThis study aims to develop a conceptual model for GET products that participate in brands’ online communities, based on social cognitive theory (SCT), with environmental factors, personal factors and behavioral factors being used to explore whether users of GET products participate in brand online communities as well as to determine whether participation in a community forum causes users to stick with GET products. In addition, expectancy confirmation is also considered in the research model.Design/methodology/approachThis research examines whether environmental and personal factors have a positive effect on the behavioral factors of Gogoro users, and then further effects on green energy technology (GET) product stickiness for users in online communities. A website was used to distribute links to two Facebook club sites: Gogoro Series 2 Fan Club and the Gogoro Fan Club. The respondents’ qualification criteria were restricted to people who had used Gogoro products and participated in a Gogoro online community. A total of 581 valid responses were collected for structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis, and expectancy confirmation was found to be moderate from a hierarchical regression.FindingsThe results of SEM show that virtual interactivity has a positive effect on product-related content, and social norms were found to have significant effects on creating product-related content. Brand community identification, perceived relative advantage and brand knowledge self-efficacy are found to be related to both creating and contributing product-related content. Also, creating product-related content and contributing user participation behaviors influence ET product stickiness.Practical implicationsOnline community managers can boost user participation by increasing interaction, and community identification by enhancing users’ perceptions of benefiting from participating in their communities. Companies can also encourage users to create product-related content to increase users’ stickiness to GET products. Further, GET companies can try to enhance users’ intrinsic connection with other community users to increase their brand community identification if they want to increase users’ willingness to participate.Originality/valueThis study adopted SCT to measure the GET product stickiness formation process in an attempt to determine what factors boost user participation based on triadic reciprocality. Also, expectancy confirmation plays an important role in the relationship between community users’ participation behaviors and GET product stickiness. The results indicated that it was appropriate to add virtual interactivity to environmental factors and perceived relative advantage to personal factors to measure users’ participation in an online social community. Actual product users’ online community participation behavior could be a very influential indicator of actual product stickiness formation.

CityLearn v2: energy-flexible, resilient, occupant-centric, and carbon-aware management of grid-interactive communities

As more distributed energy resources become part of the demand-side infrastructure, quantifying their energy flexibility on a community scale is crucial. CityLearn v1 provided an environment for benchmarking control algorithms. However, there is no standardized environment utilizing realistic building-stock datasets for distributed energy resource control benchmarking without co-simulation or third-party frameworks. CityLearn v2 extends CityLearn v1 by providing a stand-alone simulation environment that leverages the End-Use Load Profiles for the U.S. Building Stock dataset to create grid-interactive communities for resilient, multi-agent, and objective control of distributed energy resources with dynamic occupant feedback. While the v1 environment used pre-simulated building thermal loads, the v2 environment uses data-driven thermal dynamics and eliminates the need for co-simulation with building energy performance software. This work details the v2 environment and provides application examples that use reinforcement learning control to manage battery energy storage system, vehicle-to-grid control, and thermal comfort during heat pump power modulation.

3.X.2. Integrating trust as a key component of pandemic preparedness and resilience

Abstract Trust is a key component of pandemic preparedness, which impacts the success of response measures during the public health emergency. Trust is built during preparedness, however the drivers and dimensions of trust are complex and context-specific. What is required is a collaborative, inclusive approach that provides a platform for communities to express their questions and concerns. The proposed workshop will begin with a presentation from a global expert on trust in the content of epidemics and pandemics and the current knowledge about how trust can be built during preparedness. This will be followed by interactive group-work, designed to encourage collaborative discussions and decision-making. Finally, introducing the WHO Hive digital platform that provides a safe space for public health communities to share information and ask questions. Attendees will then reconvene in plenary to discuss these approaches and interventions that can be implemented to build and maintain trust prior to and during an epidemic or pandemic. This workshop has the following objectives: 1. To demonstrate how trust is an important determinant of successful pandemic response; 2. To enable attendees to explore how the implementation of public health and social measures, infodemic management and digital community partnerships and engagement can build trust during pandemic preparedness for both online and offline communities; 3. To provide opportunity for attendees to workshop how the different features of the Hive digital space can enhance trust building, and to develop actionable strategies for health emergency preparedness, response and resilience. The workshop will deliver these objectives through an interactive simulation activity. Attendees will be placed into small groups to work through a scenario, having to decide on the actions that need to be taken, considering budget constraints, other health priorities, and the current local context. The teams will co-create actionable strategies for building and maintaining trust. While there is not a one size fits all approach to trust building, this workshop will aim to increase understanding of the drivers and determinants of trust to encourage participants to consider how they can be applied in their local context. It will be interactive and hands-on requiring active participation from participants. Key messages • Trust as a construct is an important component of pandemic preparedness and readiness that impacts on response. • A multidimensional approach to building and sustaining trust needs to considered across a range of drivers and determinants, where actionable strategies are vital.

The Prevention and Management System of Public Emergencies based on Community

With the in flux of population and the increasingly complex changes of social structure, more and more public emergencies spread from the community grass‐roots level to all over the world. The occurrence of large‐scale public emergencies around the world makes its prevention and governance enter the research field of vision again. The role of grass‐roots communities in the prevention and response of public emergencies is becoming more and more important, because it is not only related to the life and health of grass‐roots people, but also of great significance to maintain that our country is and will be in the primary stage of socialism for a long time and the long‐term stable development of economy and society. This document makes a preliminary analysis and report on the prevention and management of community grass‐roots response to public emergencies, and these problems will attract extensive attention of the people, and improve the attention of grass‐roots communities to the disposal of public emergencies.
