Confluências quilombolas: o caso da comunidade de Croatá (MG)
Authors: Moreira Agda Marina , Heller Léo , Silva Priscila Neves
Published: August 2024

O presente artigo é fruto de interlocuções junto à comunidade quilombola, pesqueira e vazanteira de Croatá (MG), localizada no município de Januária, região norte mineira. A comunidade vem passando por um processo de reterritorialização desde 2013, tendo o Rio São Francisco como protagonista. Por meio de uma pesquisa colaborativa, apresentamos aspectos oriundos de nossa observação participante e entrevistas realizadas no segundo semestre de 2023, permeados pelo marco da relação entre saúde e território. Apresentamos as percepções dos sujeitos pesquisados sobre o território, tendo por eixo norteador o conceito de ‘confluência’, cunhado pelo pensador quilombola Nego Bispo. Sob essa base, analisamos as relações de lutas e afetos construídas pela comunidade na defesa de seu território e as imbricações desse processo com a saúde dos sujeitos quilombolas. Como resultado, temos por premissa que a saúde quilombola deve considerar suas especificidades e as referências de seus sujeitos, tendo nos modos de saber e fazer aspectos relevantes. Portanto, pensar em saúde somente é possível se associado ao território. Nesse processo em que a memória e a oralidade ganham destaque, os sujeitos quilombolas devem ser ouvidos e considerados na proposição de uma modalidade de saúde que os contemple.
Como nasce o novo: estudos sobre relações raciais no Brasil contemporâneo
Authors: Farias Marcio
Published: August 2024

Este texto tem por objetivo dialogar criticamente com as reflexões propostas por Cristiane Luiza de Souza Sabino em seu texto A disputa em torno do debate racial no Brasil: teoria e método para o avanço da teoria crítica. Para tanto, em um primeiro, apresenta-se a linha argumentativa da autora frente a produção do pensamento contemporâneo sobre relações raciais no Brasil que, segundo ela, tem três grandes vertentes: liberal, culturalista/afro centrada e crítica de orientação marxista, onde ela se situa. Em um segundo momento, discute-se o mérito da argumentação sobre a validade do pensamento crítico para se tornar a principal referência entre os estudiosos e militantes antirracistas. Discorre-se assim, sobre o processo de divulgação e reprodução do marxismo no Brasil, analisado neste texto a partir da noção de renovação conservadora para o tema das relações raciais. Conclui-se que sem que se faça um balanço crítico do marxismo brasileiro, essa teoria crítica não terá condições políticas de se tornar uma referência para os estudos sobre relações raciais.
RECOGNIZING INDIGENOUS TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE WITH MEDICINAL VALUE WITHIN A LEGAL FRAMEWORK: AN OVERVIEW OF THE ISSUES AND CHALLENGES WITH SPECIAL FOCUS ON INDIA
Authors: Chakrabarty Suman , Hossain Kamrul
Published: August 2024

Recognizing traditional knowledge with medical value among Indigenous people is indispensable to sustaining their way of life. However, legal complexities and challenges exist in recognizing the medical value of traditional knowledge, as it is orally transmitted and thus undocumented. While a global solution to such difficulties cannot employ a “one size fits all” approach and invokes multifaceted solutions within national regulatory and policy contexts, India has shown progress in this area. Yet, appropriate guidelines for incorporating the diverse medical knowledge of Indigenous people under a coherent framework must be developed so that Indigenous people can enjoy, and utilize, their rights regarding this knowledge. The objective was to unfold the current situation of traditional medicinal value among Indian Indigenous communities and find ways of recognizing this knowledge within India’s intellectual property rights (IPR) legal regime.   The present study was based on secondary data sources. A specific literature review was done using the key word “Traditional Knowledge”, combined with “Intellectual Property Rights”, “Tribes”, “Medicinal Plant”, “Ethno-medicine”, “Folk Lore”, “Medical Anthropology”, “World Health Organization (WHO)”, “Traditional Knowledge Digital Library (TKDL)”, World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), “Patent Act”, “Illness and Sickness” and “India” on PubMed, Google Scholar and other relevant online and offline sources from March 2021 to September 2023. Our findings recommend a multi-tiered approach to documenting traditional medical knowledge, sensitive to regional diversities within India, as a necessary precursor to legal recognition. Therefore, a human rights approach, particularly from the viewpoint of cultural rights, could be a best fit both to recognize the traditional knowledge as a cultural right and to offer the community as the right holder of the knowledge. Hence, appropriate guidelines to that direction should be formulated for incorporating the dispersed traditional medical knowledge of Indigenous people under a coherent framework so that they can enjoy, and utilize, their rights to this knowledge especially in the diverse Indian context.

STIGMAS ARE STILL THERE: COLONIAL STEREOTYPE BEHIND BUDHAN SABAR'S DEATH
Authors: Dasgupta Gourab
Published: August 2024

After a long two and a half decades, when Budhan became a symbol of movement, the conclusive verdict in the Budhan Sabar death case was delivered in February 2023, in which he died in jail custody following an illegal detention by the local police authority. Budhan was a member of the Kheriya-Sabar Tribe, an Ex-D.N.T. in the Purulia district, which was formerly known as the Criminal Tribes and was officially used after the introduction of the Criminal Tribes Act in 1871. The British capitalised on colonial legislative authority to stigmatise such class and tribal identities in order to control and wipe them out from any passive or active struggle in the remaining phases of their reign; however, these stigmatic feelings of exhaustion and dearth of confidence long persisted among these marginalised tribes of India for decades after independence. The present study illuminates the connection between colonial stereotypes and the Budhan Sabar case in Historical point of view. Keywords: Budhan Sabar, Criminal Tribe Act, Police brutality, Stereotype, Stigma.

Cultivating Influence: Analysing Australia's Government Research Training Program as a Strategic Instrument of Soft Power for National Advancement
Authors: Madubuko Christian C. , Madubuko Chioma H.
Published: August 2024

Purpose: This article investigates the Australia Government Research Training Program (AGRTP) as a pivotal instrument of soft power that furthers national interests through a collaborative research framework. In the context of a rapidly evolving, influence-driven global landscape, the AGRTP strives to establish Australia as a leader in research and education (McMahon, 2022). By positioning itself effectively within this paradigm, the program not only seeks to enhance the nation’s academic reputation but also to contribute strategically to Australia’s global standing.
Materials and Methods: Employing qualitative analysis, the study draws on semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders, including university administrators and program alumni, to gain nuanced insights into the AGRTP's impact at grassroots levels (McDonagh & Sharpe, 2021; Orpin & Chan, 2022). In addition to these interviews, the research incorporates an examination of policy frameworks and successful case studies that illustrate the alignment of the AGRTP with Australia’s overarching soft power strategy (Green, 2022; Ricci & Duhé, 2021). The methodological approach allows for a comprehensive understanding of both the operational mechanics of the program and its broader implications within the international academic landscape.
Findings: The findings reveal that the AGRTP plays a critical role in enhancing domestic innovation and strengthening the Australian economy. By attracting exceptional talent from across the globe, the program cultivates a dynamic and vibrant international research community (Hughes, 2021; Wright & Yarran, 2021). This influx of skilled researchers significantly contributes to key sectors, notably technology, health, and environmental sustainability (Flemming & Moraitis, 2021; Ramsden et al., 2022). Furthermore, the AGRTP serves as a catalyst for enhancing Australia’s reputation as a knowledge hub, facilitating diplomatic relationships and cultural exchanges that foster goodwill among nations (Cairns & Anderson, 2021; Shimizu, 2021). The integration of qualitative insights from stakeholders underscores the program’s effectiveness in meeting its objectives and highlights areas for potential improvement.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: The research concludes that the AGRTP is a vital conduit for scientific diplomacy and cultural exchange, reinforcing Australia’s role in the global knowledge economy. It urges policymakers to consider increased investment in this strategic initiative, as a fortified AGRTP will not only enhance Australia’s academic and research standing but will also yield long-term economic and diplomatic benefits (McMahon, 2022). By committing to the sustained development and expansion of the AGRTP, Australia can leverage its soft power more effectively and position itself as a leader in global research and education.

Can Filipinos Afford to Work Remotely? A Study on the Afford Ability of Laptops Based on the Salaries and Cost of Living in the Philippines using Compounding
Authors: Villena V Jose Pocholo R. , Cordova Wilson
Published: August 2024

Businesses are shifting to remote or hybrid setups due to employee demand. Since the trend is moving towards these setups, employees need to be able to conduct their work in their respective homes. With this, they need devices, such as a laptop, to accomplish their daily tasks. To live comfortably, however, they must set aside 20% of their salary for savings and 30% for their wants. Considering this and the average annual salary in the Philippines and the average annual cost of living, along with the average annual rate of salary increase and average annual inflation rate, the research focuses on the affordability of laptops, given their current prices and average annual price movements. Compounding was used to determine when an employee can purchase a laptop while keeping 50% for savings and wants. Annual compounding is used, and the compounded values for the cost of living and the laptop price are deducted from the compounded value of the salary. After calculations, the Apple MacBook Air is the most feasible, but it will take the employee 37 years to purchase the laptop while keeping 50% of one’s salary. Once achieved, the employee will be near retirement age, so it might not be fully utilized. It is recommended that the rate of salary increases be increased, and other businesses that offer laptops should maintain their prices or minimize the price increases to make them more affordable for employees. Benchmarking Apple is a viable option to see how they can control their prices.

This paper aims to explore the literature on Fintech for plausible research gaps. We systematically searched abstracts on the Fintech literature from the Scopus abstracted journals to accomplish this aim. We then used multiple criteria, including the Association of Business Schools (ABS) journal rankings, to narrow from 4,567 to 340 documents. These 340 documents were published in high-ranked journals and aligned with our study objective. After reviewing those documents, we came up with three critical research gaps relating to (1) the relationship between Fintech concepts and technologies, (2) the use of Fintech in financial institutions and services, and (3) the role of contextual or geographical factors in influencing the popularity of Fintech. Scholars in the future are encouraged to work in the direction of bridging one or more of these gaps.

Authors: Kevin Arabis Karl , Tobio Gabriel , Corpuz Belen , Marie Royol Bianca , T. Zita Cris
Published: August 2024

This study examines the significance of face-to-face classes as a venue for students and instructors to engage in teaching and learning activities in a shared physical space. The researchers employed a quantitative methodology for their study, with a sample size of 50 students from Holy Rosary College Foundation's 1st Year College cohort, which represented the entire population. Instruments for collecting data included interviews and survey questionnaires administered via pen-and-paper exams. The primary objective was to assess the efficacy of instructor-interactive strategies in traditional classroom settings. The findings revealed that various instructor-interactive strategies positively influenced the confidence levels of first-year college students, particularly in activities such as group work, class reporting, oral recitations, adherence to an English Only Policy (EOP), and role-playing exercises. In contrast, students viewed activities such as debates, memorization assignments, public speeches, impromptu speeches, and speech choir as less effective at boosting their speaking confidence. The study demonstrates that instructor-interactive strategies implemented in face-to-face classes have a positive effect on the speaking confidence of first-year college students. In the context of English language learning, these findings highlight the significance of incorporating interactive approaches into classroom instruction while taking individual student requirements into account. Throughout the teaching-learning process, instructors play a crucial role by actively participating in and collaborating on these interactive strategies.

The results of the study indicate that the OJT program and faculty training have had a significant positive impact on the development of competencies among students and lecturers, as well as on the enhancement of teaching skills that are technology-based and interactive. The development of the joint curriculum has also successfully created a more holistic learning approach, integrating cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects, and aligning with both global challenges and local needs. The implications of this research include the development of an effective inter-institutional collaboration model to improve the quality of Islamic education, strengthen educator capacity, and promote inclusivity and sustainability in community service-based educational programs.

This study examines the intricate relationships among Transformational Leadership, Organizational Climate, Organizational Commitment, and Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) within the school context in Indonesia. Utilizing a sample of 76 teachers from SMAN 1 Metro, data were collected and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) through the Smart-PLS analytical tool. The results indicate that Transformational Leadership significantly influences both Organizational Climate and Organizational Commitment directly. However, it does not exhibit a significant direct effect on OCB. Additionally, Organizational Climate neither directly impacts OCB nor mediates the relationship between Transformational Leadership and OCB. In contrast, Organizational Commitment acts as a significant indirect mediator between Transformational Leadership and OCB. The study concludes with a discussion on its limitations and implications for future research.
