‹Smart School – oder doch lieber Old School?›
Authors: Münch Catharina , Carolus Astrid , Bierhalter Liv , Füting-Lippert Angelika
Published: January 2024

In unserer digitalisierten Welt sind digitale Medien zu ständigen Begleitern geworden. Bereits Kinder im Grundschulalter nutzen Smartphones und Tablets regelmässig. Die Nützlichkeit dieser Endgeräte für den schulischen Kontext wird von (angehenden) Lehrkräften allerdings eher skeptisch bewertet. Digitale Technologien im Unterricht pädagogisch sinnvoll zu nutzen, setzt didaktische und medienbezogene Kompetenzen voraus – neben Wissen auch Überzeugungen als zentrale handlungsleitende Facetten professioneller Kompetenz. Diese Facetten stehen im Fokus des vorliegenden Beitrags, der Kompetenzen und Überzeugungen einer pädagogischen Perspektive mit einer psychologischen Perspektive auf kognitive, emotionale sowie konative (das Handeln betreffende) Faktoren ergänzt. In einer Online-Studie aus dem Jahr 2018 – und damit vor den einschneidenden Veränderungen der COVID19-Pandemie – wurden 126 Studierende des Grundschullehramts zu (1) Mediennutzung, (2) Überzeugungen zum Smartphone im Unterricht und (3) psychologischen Konstrukten wie Persönlichkeit und Selbstwert befragt. Eine Clusteranalyse entlang der Kriterien Smartphone-Nutzung und Einstellung zum Smartphone-Einsatz im Unterricht unterteilt die Gesamtstichprobe in drei Typen: Indifferente Weniger-Nutzende, Kritische Viel-Nutzende und Positive Viel-Nutzende. Diese drei Gruppen werden entlang ihrer medienbezogenen Kompetenzen und Überzeugungen sowie der psychologischen Dimensionen weiter ausdifferenziert und beschrieben. Von einem kompetenztheoretischen Modell ausgehend und ergänzt um die psychologische Perspektive werden die Ergebnisse als Ansatzpunkte für die Professionalisierung der Lehrkräftebildung diskutiert. Dabei werden interindividuelle Unterschiede im Mediennutzungsverhalten sowie in medienbezogenen Überzeugungen angehender Lehrkräfte und insbesondere die medienpädagogischen Potenziale des Smartphones für den Unterricht betont.
Biocultural Diversity and Islandness: On human-geographical and typological approaches
Authors: Hong Sun-Kee
Published: January 2024

Humans have long utilized the surrounding landscape and organisms as life resources and developed new species of organisms through cultivation. The utilization of biodiversity has played a vital role in advancing human culture, specifically regarding food and habitation. This accumulated knowledge on the ecosystem has transcended geographical boundaries of rivers, mountains, and seas, spreading to other countries where it has been adjusted or adopted. In addition, the languages and dialects of ethnic minorities, which comprise the biocultural diversity within the ecosystem, are becoming fragmented or disappearing as a result of syncretism due to impact of rapid westernization, urbanization, and development. Indigenous languages contain countless terminologies that reflect ecological characteristics of organisms and resources within a specific region, and if the ecosystem no longer exists, the language also disappears. Preserving and sustainably using indiscreetly-exploited natural ecosystems and biological resources is the way to protect and sustain the value of culture. Culture develops with high dependence on biological resources. World organizations such as IUCN, CBD, and UNESCO have already reported that the growing human population will increasingly rely on bio(resource)diversity. Like such, the relationship between biodiversity and cultural diversity, as demonstrated through flexibility, dynamics, and complementation observed during the interaction between these two paradigms, has emerged as a crucial model for achieving balance and coexistence necessary for human survival in the future. This paper will discuss the value of biocultural diversity, focusing on the relationship between geographical and typological characteristics of the island and seascape as well as the utilization of ecological resources. This study will further discuss how human geographical changes caused by socioeconomic influence within an island affect biocultural diversity and islandness through cases of island region in South Korea, Iriomote Island of Okinawa, and Pulau Madura, Indonesia.
Incorporating Biocultural Values in Biodiversity Conservation Policies: A Case Study of the Regional Strategy for Biodiversity in Okinawa
Authors: Takahashi Soyo , Toyama Masanao , Tanaka Toshinori
Published: January 2024

The article discusses the importance of linking policy and local culture to achieve the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. The Convention on Biological Diversity was adopted at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, held in Brazil in June 1992, with the aim of addressing biological diversity in cooperation with the global community. This Convention not only stipulates the conservation of biological diversity but also the sustainability of cultures and societies in human activities, including the protection of traditional cultures with respect to resource use and the equitable sharing of benefits. The interaction between region-specific biodiversity and cultural diversity was subsequently clarified using a biocultural approach by Mafii et al. In recent years, the concept of biocultural diversity has gained increasing attention in ecosystem conservation as it relates to biodiversity conservation, sustainable development, and the fulfillment of human potential. This study focuses on the regional biodiversity strategy of Okinawa Prefecture, a World Natural Heritage-listed biodiversity treasure, and reveals the process by which local biocultural values rooted in regional uniqueness were adopted as indicator items to evaluate biodiversity strategies in response to global policy imperatives. The paper examines how biocultural values and policy imperatives interact to define environmental policy at the prefectural level, which lies "between" the two. The wisdom and creativity of biocultural diversity is not only a treasure inherited from the past but also a compass for living with nature toward the future. To create an island society based on sustainable and enriched interactions between humanity and nature, it is urgent to deepen specific research in the Ryukyu Arc as a comparative study through exchanges with biocultural diversity researchers and local communities in the Pacific and Southeast Asia.
Traditional Methods of Cycad Detoxification in Amami and Okinawa: Historical origins of their biocultural diversity among the islands
Authors: Ankei Takako
Published: January 2024

This article describes the methods of toxicity removal for Cycas revoluta Thunb., used as food on the islands of Amami and Okinawa in the Ryukyu Arc. Regional differences were found in the method of toxin removal from the trunk, which was perceived to make no difference in previous studies. A map showing the geographic distribution of these toxicity removal methods was generated, and the historical origins of the differences in the techniques were discussed. Then, we compared it with the Guam case, where cycads used to be a daily food source. Cycad is still produced as a traditional delicacy in Amami and Okinawa, where cycad consumption was encouraged by the local government, and safe methods of detoxifying the cycad were well known. Beautiful cycad forests can still be seen here and there, especially in Amami. However, in Guam, cycads have been banned since the time of Spanish governors and are not consumed at all. Consequently, they are on the verge of extinction.
Biocultural Diversity of the Ryukyu Archipelago based on the Plant Diversity used as Fish Poison
Authors: Moriguchi Mitsuru
Published: January 2024

Before the 1960s, in the islands of the Ryukyu Archipelago, there were natural landscapes that were formed in relationship between people’s livelihoods and nature, which could be called “island’s satoyama”. Even though the islands belong to the same Ryukyu Archipelago, the “island’s satoyama” varies greatly among islands. In this study, I attempted to understand the diversity of the “island’s satoyama” from fish poison plants. As a result of my survey, in total, 41 species of fish poison plants belonging to 24 families were recorded from the islands of the Ryukyu Archipelago. The number of species used as fish poison plants differed greatly between the high islands and the low islands. In addition, the use of fish poison plants differed depending on the livelihood of the people and their connection to other islands.
Review of adaptive governance (AG) research in small islands: Critical dimensions and future directions
Authors: Uchiyama Christmas , Ohno Tomohiko , Kubo Yoshiaki
Published: January 2024

Adaptive governance is increasingly known as a salient factor in enhancing capacity particularly in sustainable development in small islands. Considering how small islands are vulnerable to changes, it is important to determine how islandness influence both social and ecological components of a socio-ecological system and what are the various types of governance contexts in islands that are existing in literature. With that aim in mind, we conducted a systematic review of adaptive governance research in small islands based on 43 peer-reviewed articles. We generated research clusters and gaps based on content analysis and examine the key dimensions where adaptive governance principles are used or adopted. Our main findings include: dominant research field (i.e., island resource governance, climate risk governance), adaptive governance dimensions (i.e., governance structure and framework, stakeholder capacity, planning and development), scale/level of research, most common methodologies (questionnaire survey, interviews, and group workshops, mixed methods, action research). Based on the result, future directions for adaptive governance research in small islands are identified—most of which covers stakeholder characterization and clarification of the diverse set of actors and capacities that support implementation of adaptive governance in multiple scales and processes. Furthermore, identification and analysis of the risks and uncertainties that are existing in small islands, coupled with the associated cause-and-effect and cross-scale processes, are needed. Finally, we recommend that island’s geographical and cultural contexts be considered in institutionalization of adaptive governance principles and approaches in small island settings.
An Illustrated Cosmology of Yonaguni Island, Ryukyus: A collection of daily prayers and songs for biocultural diversity and island sustainability
Authors: Ankei Yuji , Ankei Takako
Published: January 2024

This article describes the traditional culture of Yonaguni Island, located at the southwestern tip of the Ryukyu Arc. It presents traditions passed down to the present day to Ms. Wakaranko, a native speaker of Yonaguni, which is in danger of extinction. Ms. Wakaranko, born in 1954, has continued practicing the island’s traditional lifestyle and seasonal prayers, which have fallen out of practice today. From the records of her innumerable memories, we selected a set of drawings and explanations that illustrate the island’s biocultural diversity and cosmology. We published them as an artbook with texts in Dunan Munui (Yonaguni language) with detailed iconographic analyses. The resulting publication reveals the island’s history and islanders’ understanding of the relationship between the cultural, natural, and supernatural worlds. It illustrates a resilient social system that allows for the sustainable use of local natural resources and how residents withstood unexpected climate change and natural calamities. Thus, the book’s content provides important lessons for the present and the future. Over our 33 years of collaboration with Ms. Wakaranko, we have had to confront questions concerning research ethics: who are the real actors in area studies, and what is the role of researchers as external supporters of the islands?
Lessons from Dish for a Hundred Years: Okinawa Longevity, islandness, fudo, and sustainability
Authors: Terada Masahiro
Published: January 2024

What lessons have we learned from the changing landscape of the food habitus in Okinawa? This study focuses on the narrative of a centenarian regarding his childhood memories of food. Food is closely related to the environment; hence, inhabitants internalize their environment through food habitus. Okinawa was famous for its longevity, but now, owing to globalization and Americanization, it has lost its prestigious status. Nostalgically remembering the past is not enough to create a sustainable future. We need to notice the importance of the present: the present will be the past when seen from the viewpoint of the future. With such transition of standpoint, the present food habitus should be viewed differently. Our centenarian’s long life resulted from his life on the island. Islandness, or fudo in this study, supported his hundred years of life. However, repeating his life is impossible for us. We can look our past and future in order to observe our present differently. The centenarians’ childhood narratives enabled us to realize this.
Historical, Geographical, and Biocultural Values of ‘Doksal’, Korean Stone Tidal Weirs
Authors: Lee Gyeong-Ah , Kim Jae-Eun , Hong Sun-Kee
Published: January 2024

The sea is a space where ‘humans, materials, and information’ come and go. Given the abundant resources it provides, the sea has been significant in human culture until the present day. In particular, humans have made great advances in technological development and knowledge acquisition in relation to the use of fishing grounds. A characteristic example is the use of stone tidal weirs, a traditional fishing method that utilizes tidal differences and can be found all around the world. Stone tidal weirs have played an important role as a means of subsistence in the lives and livelihoods of islanders. This study, part of a bio-cultural diversity research study on the ecological and cultural characteristics of primitive traditional fisheries in island areas, was conducted in the island region of Shinan-gun, which has the largest number of islands in Korea and a sizeable tidal range. The study comprised a literature review, interviews with residents, and field surveys. Currently, there is no place where this traditional and primitive fishing method is used except for tourism purposes such as fishing village experiences. However, with the growing attention for nature-based solutions and community cooperation for marine ecosystem conservation, these traditional fishing methods are gaining renewed interest. This paper aims to discover the original fishing methods of the Southwest Sea islands and shed new light on their value in different respects, so that they can be used for ecotourism, education, exhibition, and scholarly activities in the future.
Island public administrations as the expression of the island political power in the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands
Authors: Báez-García Alberto Javier , Flores-Muñoz Francisco , Gutiérrez-Barroso Josué , Marimon-Riutort Antoni
Published: January 2024

The Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands are two archipelagos that form part of Spain and the European Union. Both are autonomous communities, with institutions that foist administrative peculiarities on their respective archipelagos. Each of the islands has an island council as a governing and administrative body with specific competences to be developed in its territory. The creation of the island councils of the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands represents a specificity within the insular framework of the European Union. Their evolution has been uneven since cabildos were created in the Canary Islands in 1912 and consells in the Balearic Islands in 1978; but currently they have a similar position in the overall archipelagos and in the Spanish legal framework. This article tracks the common evolution of the island councils, as well as their current development and future prospects.
Factors Affecting the Intention to Implement Pro-environmental Behaviors: A Case of Riverside Communities in Cotabato City Rivers, Mindanao Island, Philippines
Authors: de Vera Peter Jan D. , Alombro Nancy C. , Patadon Shaima M. , Catipay John Paul A.
Published: January 2024

Rivers are known to be the emitters of waste in the world’s oceans. Most of the top ten rivers that contribute to the waste in the world’s oceans are situated in the Philippines indicating poor solid waste management in the country. Studies focusing on the pro-environmental behaviors among the riverside communities in the country are very limited. Thus, this study investigates the factors affecting the intention to implement pro-environmental behaviors among the riverside communities along the Cotabato City rivers, Mindanao Island. This study utilizes the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) model to determine the factors affecting the intention to implement pro-environmental behaviors (n = 387). Results showed that Attitude (ATT) and Subjective Norms (SN) have significant direct effects on the intention to implement pro-environmental behaviors among the respondents. Moderation analysis showed that gender has significant effects on the relationship between Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC) and Intention (IN) to implement pro-environmental behaviors. The results of this study may provide insights into the policy design to promote and enhance the resident’s intention to implement pro-environmental behaviors for river conservation and protection. Extending the TPB model to assess other internal and external factors that may affect pro-environmental behaviors is recommended for future studies.
Living Tool Diversity (LTD) along Environmental and Population Gradients in Shinan-gun, South Korea
Authors: Yang Kyoung-Hoon , Hong Sun-Kee , Kim Jae-Eun , Kim Jong-Wook
Published: January 2024

To measure influences of environmental factors and population on Living Tool Diversity (LTD) in 10 islands of Shinan-gun, the number of living tools was determined. Correlation analysis, simple linear regression analysis, and principal component analysis (PCA) were performed. Results showed that coastline length and population were positively related to LTD and thus, island size and human dynamics. PCA results showed that living tools could be classified into four groups and that islands could be classified into three groups. Living tool-environmental biplot showed that: 1) the first group composed of AG tools was related to human dynamics as PO, CL, and IA; 2) the second group composed of FI tools was related to island biogeography as DM and PS; 3) the third group composed of FP tools was related to geographical coordinates as LA and LO; 4) the fourth group composed of TA, CO, BR, FS, PM, and CT had weaker correlations than other groups. Island-environmental biplot showed that: 1) the first group composed of R7 and R9 was related to AG and FP tools; 2) the second group composed of R2 was related to FI tools; and 3) the third group composed of R3, R6, R8, and R10 was related to TA, CO, BR, FS, PM, and CT tools. Regression and PCA models accounted for most of the variation of LTD by population and environmental factors across Shinan-gun islands of South Korea.
Dusung Agroforestry Systems on Ambon Island, Central Maluku, Indonesia: Sustainable Livelihoods, Land Property Rights, and Poverty Reduction
Authors: Girsang Wardis , Matsuda Masahiko , Yamamoto Sota
Published: January 2024

Forest land conversion into rice fields, palm oil, and mining caused unsustainable development, deforestation, local wisdom undermining, and persistent poverty in Maluku, Eastern Indonesia. We describe, redefine, and promote the Dusung agroforestry systems. This indigenous technology of Ambon Island is sustainable, fits the local environment, and is adaptable to community resilience to manage external disruptions. We used a partial least square-structural equational model to examine associations among land property rights, plant biodiversity, productivity, livelihoods, and poverty reduction. We surveyed 139 selected heads of households from four villages through in-depth interviews, field observation, and focus group discussions. Dusung agroforestry systems (DAFs) comprise five interdependent subsystems, from the forest to the coast, driven by embedded local values to avoid excessive land and aquatic resource use. Average annual household income from DAFs was above the poverty line, but the poverty rate was high. Agriculture, fishery, and nonfarm are complementary livelihood strategies to support household income. Per the model, secure land property rights and productivity have high performance to support agricultural income and to reduce poverty. This implies that the DAFs should improve as the guardian of community resilience to maintain sustainable ecology and poverty reduction on small islands.

Tourism is a multi-actor system in which each involved actor is allowed to intervene in its development and operationalization. Analyzing the relationship among the actors of tourism (stakeholders) is a valuable guideline to determine the appropriate pattern of governance. This study aimed to identify stakeholders, describe actors' strengths and attitudes toward marine tourism development goals, and analyze the connectivity patterns among tourism actors in Pari Island, Jakarta, Indonesia. This study was done by conducting in-depth interviews (September 2022) involving 23 respondents as tourism stakeholders’ representatives. A focus group discussion was also done (October 2022) to obtain feedback on the interview results. We used Matrix of Alliances and Conflicts: Tactics, Objectives, and Recommendations (MACTOR) analysis to answer the research objectives. Results showed that marine protected area activists, local travel agents, community leaders, and local citizens were the central actors playing a crucial role in balancing various goals for tourism development. Fortunately, there were no divergences detected among actors. Thus, the possibility of contraposition or conflict between actors is minimal, and all actors have the potential to be invited to work together in realizing sustainable tourism in Pari Island.

Conservation of forests over limestone (FOL), a unique and fragile ecosystem, is critical to ensure the sustainability of both nature and human communities in the vicinities. A survey was conducted to determine the gendered perception about the FOL, the importance of its ecosystem services, and conservation actions in Guiuan Marine Reserve Protected Landscape and Seascape (GMRPLS), Guiuan, Eastern Samar, Philippines. About 541 men and women of barangays Pagnamitan, Ngolos, Baras, and Sulangan, Guiuan, Eastern Samar participated. Both men (3%) and women (2%) in GMRPLS were involved in the conservation of FOL, e.g., policymaking, awareness campaigns, tree planting, and other activities. Also, about 8% of women (W) and 7% of men (M) were interested in participating in conservation actions. The men and women in GMRPLS were slightly to very well familiar (M=92%, W=90%) and aware (M=94%, W=92%) of FOL. The men (96%) and women (94%) were also slightly to very well aware that the FOL is protected by law and managed by an agency. Also, the men and women considered the ecosystem services of FOL critical, e.g., protection against typhoons, water, fresh air, and wildlife habitat. Conservation actions such as conducting forest information dissemination, participating in conservation programs, planting seedlings, and enacting a localized biodiversity conservation strategy specific to FOL were recommended by the men and women in GMRPLS. Forest regulation and governance of all concerned are necessary to ensure the FOL's sustainability and the continued enjoyment of the communities of its ecosystem services. Moreover, the study suggests extension activities, e.g., information and education campaigns in these barangays, to increase their awareness and appreciation of FOL and encourage their engagement in FOL conservation.
The Trap of the Blue Economy: Evidence from Lombok Island, Indonesia

Published: January 2024

Besides being known for its natural tourist destinations and beautiful beaches, Lombok Island in Indonesia is also known for its abundant marine and fishery potential, which can be used as development vehicles for the island’s people. However, its richness in marine resources does not contribute significantly to its people’s living standards and economic development. This research aims to investigate the practice of the Blue Economy in a marine wealth region. While many disciplines touch upon the concept of a Blue Economy, little research has examined the ocean-poverty connection in Lombok Island. This article argues that the potential of Lombok’s Blue Economy has not alleviated poverty since the local condition does not support a tendency against romanticizing the notion of Blue Economy as a global developmental platform. The substantial marine potential of the island cannot provide maximum benefit for the people’s welfare due to multiple factors, including financial, human resources, infrastructure, and the government’s goodwill. The significance of this research presents empirical evidence of a missing link in the ocean-poverty nexus. This research examines five drivers of the Blue Economy on the island: pearl, seaweed, fisheries, mangrove, and marine tourism. We maintain a paradox of plenty on the island since the potential from these drivers is immense to address the poverty in Lombok, yet the progress seems idle.

Authors: Choi Jeong Min
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study is to examine the mediating effect of depression in the relationship between the economic status and suicidal behavior of rural elderly individuals. To achieve the purpose of the research, the raw data from the Elderly Welfare Center Survey Report conducted at Jindo-gun county Elderly Welfare Center was used. The subject of the investigation is 1,088 elderly residents of Jindo-gun county, and the data collection period was from July to November 2019. The data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 27.0. The research findings revealed a partial mediating effect of depression in the relationship between the economic status and suicidal behavior of rural elderly individuals. Based on these findings, practical and policy recommendations have been proposed to reduce suicidal behavior among rural elderly individuals.
Quality of Happiness from Small Fishermen on Sebatik Island: Legitimacy after Sand Mining Exploitation and Coastal Tourism

Published: January 2024

Happiness is a current topic being exposed by emerging markets. In a constructive analogy, happiness is not only discussing the distribution of wealth, but also the revitalization of the environment that allows people to enjoy productive, long and healthy lives. Apart from generating profits, one of the company's dedications is distributing CSR. Companies that have capabilities must also be sensitive to WLB, especially to residents who live near the operating area. This study elaborates on the link between CSR and happiness through WLB. Of the 273 sample quotas, 214 of them agreed to be interviewed. Respondents who were invited were small fishermen from East Sebatik Island who received CSR financing from active companies engaged in coastal tourism and sand mining. With the CFA method, the following conclusions are found: (1) allocation from CSR strengthens WLB; (2) WLB plays a direct role in meaning of life and satisfactions, but not in feelings; (3) through WLB, CSR supports the meaning of life and satisfactions positively; (4) CSR actually does not affect the feelings mediated by WLB. For the case on East Sebatik, CSR practices in distributing grants to small fishermen are short-term in nature. In the principle of a sustainable environment, CSR transfer must contain things that are more comprehensive. The motivation for this research is to contribute to the practical interests of stakeholder actors, especially the government, by paying more attention to long-term policies in the fisheries sector. In addition, theoretical development is aimed at improving methodology in assessing fishermen's happiness to be more current, relevant, and specific by considering aspects beyond social and economic.
Patron-Client Relationships and Transformative Capacity: A Case Study of Bajau Fishers in Wakatobi, Indonesia’s Response to Climate Change
Authors: Abu Samah Asnarulkhadi , Maruf Amar , Ahmad Nobaya , Hamsan Hanina
Published: January 2024

In the absence of formal governance, the patron-client relationships have become a common internal dynamic among tropical fishing communities. Earlier research examined the numerous benefits exchanged between fishers and patrons, as well as their socioeconomic and environmental implications. Most of the research, however, emphasized a place-based perspective that focused on middlemen as the key patrons and only revealed the importance of relationships in fisheries and disaster management. This study explores the potential role of diverse patron-client relationships in the transformative capacity of Sama-Bajau fishers to the impacts and risks of climate change. Wangi-Wangi Island of Wakatobi was selected as the site of an exploratory qualitative case study involving 14 fishers and six different patrons living in and outside the locality of the fishers. The study collected and analysed data through in-depth interviews, informal conversations, field observation, and secondary sources. Findings indicate that fishers who collaborate with a variety of patrons residing within and outside their localities can reduce power disparities in their fishing activities. As a result, they could develop a transformative capacity to manage the impacts and potential risks of climate change. Future research should examine diverse patrons' role in developing the social resilience of fishing individuals, households, and communities.
Preferences of Educational Materials and Level of Knowledge on Learning Technologies of Fisherfolks in Selected Coastal Communities in Palawan, Philippines

Published: January 2024

Entrepreneurship education is deemed important in the discourse of community empowerment and development, especially in coastal communities where poverty is widespread. With adequate entrepreneurship education, entrepreneurial intention can be fostered among local fisherfolks and aquafarmers for business creation. This could be achieved through the use of educational materials and learning technologies. However, for better communication of this knowledge to the locals, using a medium of their preference suitable to their level of knowledge on learning technologies should be taken into consideration. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the preferred type of educational materials and the level of knowledge and skills of fisherfolks and aquafarmers on available learning technologies. We conducted a face-to-face survey interview using a Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) tool in 11 coastal communities in Palawan, Philippines (N=395). Results of this study revealed that the majority of the participants identified listening to a lecture, seminar, and workshop (88.9%) as their highly preferred medium of learning. This was followed by charts, diagrams, and pictures (82.6%), flyers, calendars, and books (73.5%), video (73.3%), audio (through hearing) (44.7%), and songs, jingles, and chants (35.1%). The majority of the participants (57%-88%) claimed that their level of knowledge in using spreadsheets, word processors, presentation tools, laptops, internet browsing, and smartphones is generally poor. It was then explored how these preferences and levels of knowledge can be predicted by age, gender, ethnicity, and educational background using Linear Regression Analysis. The data suggested that among these predictors, only age significantly affected the learning materials preferences. On the other hand, the level of knowledge on available learning technologies differed by age, ethnicity, and educational background but not by gender. Our findings can be used as a basis for decisions in the transfer of knowledge among local fisherfolks and aquafarmers. Furthermore, it can aid in designing and creating potentially effective educational materials for the coastal communities in Palawan.
Traditional Knowledge and Origin of Maritime Territorialisation Idea in Indonesia
Authors: Sulistiyono Singgih Tri , Rochwulaningsih Yety , Masruroh Noor Naelil , Rinardi Haryono , Ali Ismail
Published: January 2024

This article examines how the idea of an archipelagic state in Indonesia has its roots in the nation’s traditional view of the unity of land (islands) and sea space. By using archival sources accessed in the Netherlands and Indonesia as well as newspapers and magazines published during the 19th century. Earlier studies on maritime territorialisation have predominantly focused on the legislative process of the law of the sea (UNCLOS) and the government’s challenges in gaining international recognition for its ‘archipelagic state’ status as well as territorial claim according to different views among the different ethnic groups regarding the ownership, control and use of the sea in their respective territories. This article argues that although maritime territorialisation is a modern maritime law, in Indonesia it has strong historical roots and it is coloured by traditional knowledge.

Homegarden is part of an interesting cultural landscape in tropical areas, such as on the island of Lombok, Indonesia. Sasak is a native tribe in Lombok Island. Plants that grow in open spaces around the home are called homegarden plants. The owners of homegarden use them for a variety of purposes. There hasn't been much research done on the flora of Lombok Island. The diversity of plants in homegarden around Mandalika, Lombok Island has not been documented until now. This research was conducted to determine the diversity of homegarden plants and their use by the Sasak tribe community in villages around Mandalika, Pujut District, Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. The research was conducted using a purposive sampling method. Based on the research, there are 97 families, 304 genera, and 428 plant species. Homegardens in villages around Mandalika, Lombok Island have a high diversity of plant species. Homegarden plants are used for food, ornamental, animal feed, shade, medicine, rituals, industrial, handicrafts, and building materials. Homegardens have the potential for development of sustainable tourism in villages around Mandalika, Lombok Island.
Making the transition from kelp to lamp: the research on forming a design process model for cultural creative products
Authors: Lee Yi-Chang
Published: January 2024

The policy of cultural creative industries is regarded as an important contributor to accelerate economic growth and employment creation in Taiwan. Developing cultural creative products is crucial for expressing cultural values, establishing brand images, and creating business value. This study proposes a novel design process model for developing cultural creative products, which was tested and applied via a realistic case study, i.e. designing a lamp from kelp. The case study was conducted through a practice-based research approach, i.e. research through design (Schneider, 2007). A series of workshops were carefully organised to form a structured design decision-making process for conducting the case study, in which 31 novice designers as participants had to make critical decisions in the end of every workshop. Three different data collection methods were simultaneously applied during the workshops: observation, research diary, and interviews. It was demonstrated that the proposed design process model could facilitate the efficiency of design project and guide the participants to being identifying and using proper design methods to deal with different design issues in different phases. The study's outcomes indicate the effectiveness of the design process model, making it a valuable reference for developing various types of cultural creative products.

ANCA-associated vasculitis is a rare disease in children characterized by multiple organ involvement. In recent years, there has been found a connection between systemic vasculitis, including ANCA-associated, and the new coronavirus infection. There are certain difficulties in the differential diagnosis of these conditions. In addition, patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis have a high incidence of venous thromboembolic complications, which creates additional difficulties in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease, especially in children. The article presents the current data review and a clinical case of ANCA-associated systemic vasculitis with damage to the kidneys, lungs, joints (microscopic polyangiitis) in a 17-year-old teenager after the coronavirus infection.

Margarita Vladimirovna Zhilinskaya — pediatrician and scientist (on the 100th anniversary of her birth)
Authors: Kobrinskii B. A.
Published: January 2024

The article is devoted to the life and scientific career of Margarita Vladimirovna Zhilinskaya, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor, head of the first department of computer diagnostics in pediatrics in Russia and the USSR created in 1970 on her initiative. For 5 years before that, she was the Chief Freelance Pediatrician of the Ministry of Health of the RSFSR. The new area of activity was a continuation of research on the application of mathematical methods in clinical work. The department actively developed and implemented methods for planning research, assessing the informativeness of signs, multiple connections of signs in the analysis of the pathogenesis of diseases, for which the method of correlation pleiades was developed. The main paradigm in as early as the beginning of the department’s activity was a comprehensive quantitative assessment of the conditions of the child’s organism, mathematical analysis of risk factors and the formation of risk groups for diseases in children on this basis. At the same time, computer programs were created for differential diagnosis and evaluation of treatment effectiveness. Employees of the department conducted comprehensive research in the field of developing computer systems for rapid and in-depth analysis of infant mortality. For the first time, a mathematical apparatus was implemented to quantify the contribution of qualitative characteristics to the outcome of the disease. Research conducted under the scientific guidance of M.V. Zhilinskaya in 1970–1979 laid the ground for the subsequent creation of an automated system for clinical examination of pediatric population and numerous systems for disease diagnosing.

Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) include a wide range of structural anomalies that develop as a result of impaired morphogenesis of the kidneys and/or urinary tract. CAKUT accounts for about 40–50% of patients under 21 with chronic kidney disease worldwide. Most congenital anomalies of the urinary system are diagnosed in utero or during the first months of a child’s life, which determines further tactics for managing a child, depending on the severity of CAKUT and the degree of decrease in the filtration function of the kidneys. The article provides modern data on the causes of the development of anomalies of the urinary system, provides examples of the development of scientific areas that will be aimed at predicting the occurrence of malformations. In addition, early markers of the disease are considered. Thus, the problem of anomalies of the urinary system remains relevant to the present despite the significant contribution of genetics to understanding the pathogenesis and predicting the development of CAKUT.

Data on the course of pregnancy complicated by SARS-CoV-2 infection, and the condition ofthe fetus and newborn are of great interest to neonatologists and pediatricians.

Purpose. The study aimed at evaluating the clinical and laboratory features of the early neonatal period and individual health indicators in infancy in full-term newborns from mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus and COVID-19 during pregnancy.

Materials and Methods. Two groups of full-term newborns whose mothers’ pregnancy was complicated by gestational diabetes mellitus were compared in matched pairs (each group included 80 patients). In the first group of newborns, COVID-19 was diagnosed in mothers during pregnancy, in the second group, COVID-19 was not observed in mothers. At the age of 9 months, an analysis of outpatient medical records was carried out and a questionnaire survey of mothers was conducted. The methods of collecting and processing information using the Microsoft Excel 2016 software package for Windows 7, IBM SPSS Statistics v22 were used. Results. COVID-19 infection during pregnancy is associated with a higher frequency of respiratory and neurological disorders in the newborn, and with problems of enteral feeding. In the peripheral blood, the indices fell within the limits of reference values, but there was a decrease in leukocytes, platelets and an increase in the fraction of segmented neutrophils. At the age of 9 months, the children of the main group had a larger body weight and head circumference, a higher incidence of chronic morbidity was noted, and the children were registered with a neurologist, cardiologist and endocrinologist.

Conclusions. Clinical and laboratory features of early neonatal adaptation of children from mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus and COVID-19 during pregnancy were revealed. A more severe course of diabetic fetopathy has not been proven in children from women who suffered COVID-19 during pregnancy. The higher incidence of chronic morbidity in infancy requires further study.
