description: Atlantic Menhaden Brevoortia tyrannus is a commercially and ecologically important forage fish abundant on the Atlantic Coast of the United States. We conducted spatial and temporal analyses of larval Atlantic Menhaden using data collected from two large-scale ichthyoplankton programs during 1977-1987 and 1999-2013 to construct indices of larval abundance and survival over time, evaluate how environmental factors affect early life survival, and examine how larvae are distributed in space to gain knowledge on spawning and larval dispersal. Over time, we found larval abundance to increase, while early life survival declined. Coastal temperature, wind speed, and Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation were found to potentially explain some of this decline in survival. Over both periods, we found evidence spawning predominantly occurs near shore, from New York to North Carolina, increasing in intensity southwards.  While the general spatial patterns were consistent, we observed some localized variation and overall expansion of occupied area by larvae.

description: In April 2021, under the “IMPACT R” project, IASS Potsdam and HEDERA Sustainable Solutions GmbH in Berlin, together with University of Rwanda and Sustainable Villages Foundation (SVF), conducted a household survey in two villages in Rwanda. SVF has started an integrated village development pilot project in those two villages and wanted to better understand the local populations’ needs and establish a baseline for impact measurement, in order to track the project’s progress over time. In parallel, focus group discussions and key stakeholder interviews were carried out. The main results are as follows: Over 80 % of households get their main income from agriculture, largely on small plots. Two-thirds of the households have USD 45 or less to spend on a 5-person family, on average. There is no public electricity grid. Half of the households have access to very basic electricity through solar systems; the other half has none at all. Over 90 % of households use wood and open fire pits or handmade clay stoves for cooking, mostly indoors, causing deforestation and health problems because of the smoke. There is no public or private drinking water supply. Villagers collect rainwater and/or surface water, which has to be carried over several kilometers by adults and children. The water is dirty and not treated before drinking in one-third of households, which triggers diseases. Only 26 % of households are classified as food-secure, whereas 15.5 % are above the severe food insecurity threshold. A significant percentage of the inhabitants does not eat a balanced diet due to lack of resources. The local community especially emphasized the need for: Priority 1: Safe drinking water Priority 2: Electricity Priority 3: Clean cooking devices Another severe challenge is poverty in general. There is a shortage of food in terms of quantity and quality for a significant portion of the population. This is caused by households’ limited financial capacity and insufficient agricultural yield due to the absence of water for irrigation and inefficient agricultural techniques. Furthermore, teacher qualification in English and information technology (IT) is not satisfactory, and the primary school has no electricity in most of the classrooms and no computers. Professional training options are only offered far away from the villages and are very costly. New business development is hindered by the lack of electricity. The target communities seek for support to address all the above challenges and are willing to contribute their part.

description: Partnering for a Sustainable Ocean: The Role of Regional Ocean Governance in Implementing SDG14 highlights the major role that regional ocean governance can play in the implementation of SDG14. It assesses the mandates of different regional frameworks, showcases existing regional efforts contributing to the specific targets underpinning SDG14, and identifies key contributions that regional initiatives can make to the overarching challenges of the 2030 Agenda. Acknowledgements Key messages 1. Regional cooperations are is essential for ocean sustainability Regional approaches to ocean governance make it possible for States and stakeholders to cooperate at an ecosystem scale and work together across sectors and national boundaries. 2. Most of the SDG14 targets can be addressed through regional initiatives Regional approaches and instruments can play a key role in meeting most of the SDG14 targets, with particular relevance in the areas of marine pollution, sustainable ocean management, fisheries, conservation, and economic benefits for Small Island Developing States and Least Developed Countries. 3. Regional ocean governance is a driver for the development of integrated approaches Regional approaches can help advance ocean governance by bringing all relevant actors together, taking the interdependencies among SDG14 targets into account, and providing co-benefits for the other SDGs. 4. Regional ocean governance efforts require greater support to overcome gaps and institutional weaknesses. Regional cooperation is key to the success of SDG14 and the 2030 Agenda, and should be further strengthened, including through capacity building and the development of regional partnerships.

description: The elemental composition of the Sun's hot atmosphere, the corona, shows a distinctive pattern that is different than the underlying surface, or photosphere (Pottasch 1963). Elements that are easy to ionize in the chromosphere are enhanced in abundance in the corona compared to their photospheric values. A similar pattern of behavior is often observed in the slow speed (< 500 km/s) solar wind (Meyer 1985), and in solar-like stellar coronae (Drake et al. 1997), while a reversed effect is seen in M-dwarfs (Liefke et al. 2008). Studies of the inverse effect have been hampered in the past because only unresolved (point source) spectroscopic data were available for these stellar targets. Here we report the discovery of several inverse events observed in-situ in the slow solar wind using particle counting techniques. These very rare events all occur during periods of high solar activity that mimic conditions more widespread on M-dwarfs. The detections allow a new way of connecting the slow wind to its solar source, and are broadly consistent with theoretical models of abundance variations due to chromospheric fast mode waves with amplitudes of 8-10 km/s; sufficient to accelerate the solar wind. The results imply that M-dwarf winds are dominated by plasma depleted in easily ionized elements, and lend credence to previous spectroscopic measurements.

description: Since 1993 Atlantic menhaden has experienced sustained low juvenile production (recruitment) in the Chesapeake Bay. Factors controlling growth, abundance, and mortality of larval and juvenile menhaden change throughout ontogeny such that larval growth rates could carry over to juvenile growth and survival. The effects of winter thermal conditions on the hatch dates and growth of larval and juvenile Atlantic menhaden in Atlantic shelf and Chesapeake Bay habitats were examined using otolith (ear-stone) increment analyses and growth models. For 2010-2013, truncated hatch-date distributions provided evidence for a winter recruitment bottleneck in Atlantic menhaden caused by cold temperatures. Hatch-dates of surviving juveniles were skewed towards warmer months for years characterized by colder temperatures. Reduced larval growth rates, influenced by reduced temperature and food availability, carried over to juvenile growth rates.  A growing degree-day model performed well in simulating observed juvenile growth rates in the Choptank River tributary of Chesapeake Bay.

description: We discuss results on the dynamics of thermalization for a model with Gaussian interactions between two classical many-body systems trapped in external harmonic potentials. Previous work showed an approximate, power-law scaling of the interaction energy with the number of particles, with particular focus on the dependence of the anomalous exponent on the interaction strength. Here we explore the role of the interaction range in determining anomalous exponents, showing that it is a more relevant parameter to differentiate distinct regimes of responses of the system. More specifically, on varying the interaction range from its largest values while keeping the interaction strength constant, we observe a crossover from an integrable system, approximating the Caldeira-Leggett interaction term in the long range limit, to an intermediate interaction range in which the system manifests anomalous scaling, and finally to a regime of local interactions in which anomalous scaling disappears. A Fourier analysis of the interaction energy shows that nonlinearities give rise to an effective bath with a broad band of frequencies, even when starting with only two distinct trapping frequencies, yielding efficient thermalization in the intermediate regime of interaction range. We provide qualitative arguments, based on an analogous Fourier analysis of the standard map, supporting the view that anomalous scaling and features of the Fourier spectrum may be used as proxies to identify the role of chaotic dynamics. Our work, that encompasses models developed in different contexts and unifies them in a common framework, may be relevant to the general understanding of the role of nonlinearities in a variety of many-body classical systems, ranging from plasmas to trapped atoms and ions.

description: For too long, professional careers in the energy sector have been male-dominated. Until recently, women accounted for a mere 1 per cent of top management positions and 6 per cent of technical staff in the fossil energy sector globally (Baruah, 2017). In comparison, the renewable energy sector has seen an increase in women employment over the past decade. However, men still outnumber women in the sector’s key functions in technical, managerial and policymaking positions (Vangchuay and Niklaus, 2021; IRENA, 2019).
This paper sheds light on employment opportunities and gender inequality in the power sector and proposes a number of key action areas for facilitating gender-inclusive renewable energy careers.

description: Mounting evidence in recent years suggests that astrocytes, a sub-type of glial cells, not only serve metabolic and structural support for neurons and synapses but also play critical roles in regulation of proper functioning of the nervous system. In this work, we investigate the effect of astrocyte on the spontaneous firing activity of a neuron through a combined model which includes a neuron-astrocyte pair. First, we show that an astrocyte may provide a kind of multistability in neuron dynamics by inducing different firing modes such as random and bursty spiking. Then, we identify the underlying mechanism of this behavior and search for the astrocytic factors that may have regulatory roles in different firing regimes. More specifically, we explore how an astrocyte can participate in occurrence and control of spontaneous irregular spiking activity of a neuron in random spiking mode. Additionally, we systematically investigate the bursty firing regime dynamics of the neuron under the variation of biophysical facts related to the intracellular environment of the astrocyte. It is found that an astrocyte coupled to a neuron can provide a control mechanism for both spontaneous firing irregularity and burst firing statistics, i.e., burst regularity and size.

Rwala Bedouin

Publisher: name: Database of Religious History (DRH)

description: The Rwala Bedouin are nomadic pastoralists who move throughout southeastern Jordan and northern Saudi Arabia to sustain herds through the varying seasons. Traditionally, the Bedouin grazing territory extended north towards Damascus (as far as Homs), west bounded by Wādi Sirhān (an arid 200 mile-long depression along the border of Saudi Arabai and Jordan), east towards the Iraqi border (as far as Karbalā), and south towards Sakāka (bounded by the Nafūd desert). More recently, “their relationship to land has been altered by the creation of nation-states in the 20th century and the establishment of national boundaries across their customary migration routes” (Young, 2009). This entry focuses on the Rwala Bedouin living in northern Saudi Arabia around the time of 1913. The Rwala Bedouin are Sunni Muslims, and believe in an omnipresent high god: In addition to Allâh are the inhabitants of the celestial world (malâjika) and the inhabitants of the spiritual earthly world (ˇginn), which were both created by Allâh. No full-time religious specialists are present. Individuals who are more knowledgeable or literate in Arabic might lead prayers, but each individual is ultimately responsible for their own religious practice. For the Rwala Bedouin, religion is bound up with all aspects of life. Consequently, this entry considers the religious group to be coterminous with society at large.

description: Les fake news, qui se propagent à une vitesse inouïe dans notre ère d'information instantanée, nécessitent une sensibilisation précoce des enfants et des adolescents à la vérification de l'information. Le rapport de la commission Bronner (Bronner, 2013, 2022) souligne l'importance de traiter ce sujet à l'école pour prévenir la diffusion de fausses informations et enseigner les compétences essentielles de vérification de l'information. Intégrer la lutte contre les fake news dans les programmes scolaires permet aux enseignants d'aider les élèves à développer leur esprit critique, à évaluer la fiabilité des sources d'information et à faire la distinction entre les faits et les opinions. Cependant, de nombreux enseignants sont démunis lorsqu'il s'agit de concevoir une séquence pédagogique sur les fake news. Enseigner l'esprit critique est complexe, car cela nécessite des aptitudes cognitives avancées qui ne sont pas toujours présentes chez les élèves. De plus, face à un programme d'études déjà chargé et sans méthodologie claire, peu d'enseignants consacrent du temps à cet enseignement. Ce travail vise à proposer les bases d’une méthode permettant aux élèves de développer leurs compétences en évaluation de l'information, en mettant en avant des outils accessibles qui favorisent l'adoption de routines d'analyse simples mais efficaces pour filtrer les informations qu'ils rencontrent. Dans la conception de cette séquence, une des questions majeures de cette étude était de déterminer quelle méthode d'enseignement permettrait d'obtenir les résultats les plus efficaces et durables en un minimum de temps. Pour répondre à cette question, deux séquences, comportant un contenu très similaire mais avec des approches pratiques différentes, ont été comparées. L'une de ces méthodes suit le format traditionnel du cours en bloc, où l'information est délivrée en une seule fois, tandis que l'autre est structurée sous la forme de petites activités rituelles réparties sur une période plus étendue. Bien que les résultats des évaluations menées auprès des élèves n'aient pas révélé de grandes différences entre les deux approches de la méthode, ils ont cependant mis en évidence une amélioration significative des compétences des élèves dans la critique des sources d'information, amélioration qui s'est largement maintenue dans le temps, même.
title: Tales of doom, tales of opportunity. How climate communication can help to overcome psychological barriers to sustainable action
Creators: name: Nagel, Laura
Publisher: name: Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS)
Year: 2021

description: This paper focuses on barriers and drivers of personal and public engagement. The success of climate change policies in democracies depends on social consent and ownership of the actions taken. Campaigners and decision-makers therefore need to communicate their ideas in a way that speaks to and galvanises people. To do this successfully, the first step is to recognise what motivates people to act and what hinders them. This paper contributes to answering these questions by giving an overview of theories from psychological and communication science on the cognitive biases that obstruct logical decision-making. It then moves on to suggest an alternative to the widely used “fear appeal” in communication about climate change: an opportunity-oriented framing of climate mitigation that connects to people’s values with the prospect of fostering long-lasting engagement with sustainable action. Lastly, the paper explores how the co-benefits framing can be used for policymaking.

description: The first two decades of 21st century were times of great social, economic and political changes in Brazil where sport mega events (FIFA WC 2014, Rio 2016) played a key role in how the nation portrayed and promoted itself in a global scale. Despite the undeniable importance of Presidents Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff in attempt to present the country as global protagonist with more political power and social advancements, this works is intended to discuss and extended the discussion upon mega events as different ways of repeating old traditions and practices, (radically) contextualizing the role of other players and agents (sport officials, local politicians, sponsors and local media), their biases and interests, in accordance to traditional colonial processes and the dominant neo-liberal paradigm.

description: Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements are performed on the ferromagnetic superconductor EuFe$_{2}$(As$_{0.8}$P$_{0.2}$)$_{2}$ ($T\rm_{sc}=22.5\,$K) to probe the delicate interplay between ferromagnetism and superconductivity. A clear signature of large ferromagnetic domains is found below the ferromagnetic ordering temperature $T\rm_{C}$ = 18.5 K. In a small temperature interval of $\sim$ 1.5 K below $T\rm_{C}$, additional SANS signal is observed, of which the indirect Fourier transform reveals characteristic length scales in between $\sim$ 80 nm to $\sim$ 160 nm. These nanometer-scaled domain structures are identified to result from an intermediate inhomogeneous Meissner effect denoted domain Meissner state, which was recently observed on the surface of EuFe$_{2}$(As$_{0.79}$P$_{0.21}$)$_{2}$ crystals by means of magnetic force microscopy [V. S. Stolyarov $\mathit{et}$ $\mathit{al.}$, Sci. Adv. 4, 1061 (2018)], ascribing to the competition between ferromagnetism and superconductivity. Our measurements clearly render the domain Meissner state as a bulk phenomenon and provide a key solution to the mystery regarding the intriguing coexistence of strong ferromagnetism and bulk superconductivity in these compounds.

description: The EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is expected to launch in October 2023, with reporting obligations only. The scheme aims to ensure that European efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions do not induce so-called ‘carbon leakage’, which could occur if companies based in the EU relocate carbon-intensive production to countries with less ambitious climate standards or increase imports of carbon-intensive products to the EU. The mechanism will require companies importing certain products to the EU to offset embedded GHG emissions by purchasing CBAM certificates, thus ensuring that the carbon price of imported products is equivalent to that of products made by European producers under the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). CBAM’s effectiveness and impact will be evaluated by the EU towards the end of its phase-in period. This evaluation will likely lead to adjustments in the mechanism’s design and will be followed closely by third countries considering the introduction of similar instruments. Economies and sectors dependent on exports to the EU will be both more exposed and vulnerable to the mechanism. In this policy brief we explore the views of stakeholders in South Africa, the EU’s largest trading partner in Africa, and consider measures necessary to ensure that CBAM addresses issues of justice and sustainability. In particular we identify three key recommendations for European policymakers.

description: We present the detection of a broad 8 $μ$m feature in newly formed dust around the carbon-rich Wolf-Rayet (WC) binary WR 125 from N-band low-resolution (NL; R$\sim$250) spectroscopy between 7.3-13.6 $μ$m and N-band (11.7 $μ$m) and Q-band (18.8 $μ$m) imaging with Subaru/COMICS in 2019 October. WR 125 is a colliding wind binary (${\rm WC7+O9}$) that exhibited renewed dust formation starting in 2018, $\sim$28 years after its first dust formation episode had been observed. We also compare our infrared photometry with historical observations and revise the dust-formation period of WR 125 to 28.1 years. Archival infrared spectra of five dusty WC stars, WR 48a, WR 98a, WR 104, WR 112 and WR 118, obtained with ISO/SWS are reanalyzed and compared with the WR 125 spectrum to search for a similar feature. We analyze the dusty WC spectra using two different extinction curves to investigate the impact of interstellar extinction correction on the presence and/or properties of the 8 $μ$m feature. All of the dusty WC spectra dereddened with the two different extinction curves show a broad feature around 8 $μ$m (FWHM$\sim$1-2 $μ$m). We suggest that these 8 $μ$m features seen in the dusty WC spectra are related to the Class C unidentified infrared (UIR) features.

description: We introduce a novel non-parametric method to find solar neighborhood analogs (SNAs) in extragalactic IFS surveys. The main ansatz is that the physical properties of the solar neighborhood (SN) should be encoded in its optical stellar spectrum. We assume that our best estimate of such spectrum is the one extracted from the analysis performed by the Code for Stellar properties Heuristic Assignment (\textsc{CoSHA}) from the MaStar stellar library. It follows that finding SNAs in other galaxies consist in matching, in a $χ^2$ sense, the SN reference spectrum across the optical extent of the observed galaxies. We apply this procedure to a selection of CALIFA galaxies, by requiring a close to face-on projection, relative isolation and non-AGN. We explore how the local and global properties of the SNAs (stellar age, metallicity, dust extinction, mass-to-light ratio, stellar surface mass and star-formation densities and galactocentric distance) and their corresponding host galaxies (morphological type, total stellar mass, star-formation rate, effective radius) compare with those of the SN and the Milky Way (MW). We find that SNAs are located preferentially in S(B)a~--~S(B)c galaxies, in a ring-like structure, which radii seems to scale with the galaxy size. Despite the known sources of systematics and errors, {most} properties present a considerable agreement with the literature on the SN. We conclude that the solar neighborhood is relatively common in our sample of SNAs. Our results warrants a systematic exploration of correlations among the physical properties of the SNAs and their host galaxies. We reckon that our method should inform current models of the galactic habitable zone in our MW and other galaxies.

description: In this article we employ density functional theory in the generalized gradient approximation to investigate the structural and electronic properties of the solid solution alloy $\text{Zn}\text{Se}_x\text{S}_{1-x}$ in the wurtzite structure. We analyzed the character of the bond lengths and angles at the atomic scale, using a supercell approach that does not impose any constraint on the crystal potential. We show that the bond lengths of pristine ZnS and ZnSe compounds are almost preserved between nearest neighbors, which is different from what would be anticipated if Vegard's law were valid at the atomic level. We also show that bond lengths start behaving in accordance to Vegard's law from the third shell of nearest neighbors onward, which in turn determines the average lattice parameters of the alloys determined by diffraction experiments. Fundamental building blocks around the anions are identified and are shown to be non-rigid but still volume preserving. Finally, the geometrical analysis is connected to the trend exhibited by the electronic structure, and in particular by the band gap. The latter is found to exhibit a small deviation from the linearity with respect to the Se concentration, in accordance to available experimental data. By assuming a quadratic dependence, we can extract a bowing parameter and analyze various contributions to it with various calculations under selected constraints. The structural deformation in response to the doping process is shown to be the driving force behind the deviation from linearity. The difference in stiffness between ZnS and ZnSe is showed to play a key role in the asymmetric behavior of the bowing parameter observed in the S-rich and Se-rich regions.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a surge in online communication, offering a unique burning glass perspective on the advantages of transferring formerly face-to-face conversations online as well as uncovering limitations of using technical applications to this end. These experiences are of great importance for the development of new e-participation instruments. So far, digital participation has failed to match the quality of real-world procedures. This paper discusses various emerging formats for online participation and their prerequisites. Blended participation models, in particular, appear to offer the most promise, enhancing negotiation processes between heterogenous social groups and facilitating responsive policy making.
description: Die Corona-Pandemie hat die Nutzung der Online-Kommunikation stark befördert. Diese einzigartige experimentelle Situation machte die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen eines Wechsels der Kommunikationsmedien von Face-to-Face- in Online-Formate sichtbar. Die gesammelten Erfahrungen sind von erheblicher Bedeutung für die Entwicklung neuer Instrumente und Tools der Online-Beteiligung. Bislang allerdings sind Online-Beteiligungsformate den klassischen Offline-Beteiligungsformaten qualitativ nicht ebenbürtig. Daher werden in diesem Beitrag Ansatzpunkte für neue Formate und deren Grundvoraussetzungen diskutiert. Insbesondere Konzepte, welche sowohl Online- als auch Offline-Elemente verbinden (Blended Participation), erscheinen vielversprechend, da sie Austauschprozesse zwischen heterogenen sozialen Gruppen verbessern und die Responsivität des politischen Entscheidungsfindungsprozesses erhöhen können.

description: We establish the equivalence of free piston and delta shock, for the one-space-dimensional pressureless compressible Euler equations. The delta shock appearing in the singular Riemann problem is exactly the piston that may move freely forward or backward in a straight tube, driven by the pressureless Euler flows on two sides of it in the tube. This result not only helps to understand the physics of the somewhat mysterious delta shocks, but also provides a way to reduce the fluid-solid interaction problem, which consists of several initial-boundary value problems coupled with moving boundaries, to a simpler Cauchy problem. We show the equivalence from three different perspectives. The first one is from the sticky particles, and derives the ordinary differential equation (ODE) of the trajectory of the piston by a straightforward application of conservation law of momentum, which is physically simple and clear. The second one is to study a coupled initial-boundary value problem of pressureless Euler equations, with the piston as a moving boundary following the Newton's second law. It depends on a concept of Radon measure solutions of initial-boundary value problems of the compressible Euler equations which enables us to calculate the force on the piston given by the flow. The last one is to solve directly the singular Riemann problem and obtain the ODE of delta shock by the generalized Rankine-Hugoniot conditions. All the three methods lead to the same ODE.

description: A 2-dimensional dynamic analog of squid tentacles was presented. The tentacle analog consists of a multi-cell structure, which can be easily replicated to a large scale. Each cell of the model is a quadrilateral with unit masses at the corners. Each side of the quadrilateral is a spring-damper system in parallel. The spring constants are the controls for the system. The dynamics are subject to the constraint that the area of each quadrilateral must remain constant. The system dynamics was analyzed, and various equilibrium points were found with different controls. Then these equilibrium points were further determined experimentally, demonstrated to be asymptotically stable. A simulation built in MATLAB was used to find the convergence rates under different controls and damping coefficients. Finally, a control scheme was developed and used to drive the system to several configurations observed in real tentacle.

description: We theoretically investigate the dynamics, bifurcation structure and stability of localized states in Kerr cavities driven at the pure fourth-order dispersion point. Both the normal and anomalous group velocity dispersion regimes are analysed, highlighting the main differences with the standard second order dispersion case. In the anomalous regime, single and multi-peak localised states exist and are stable over a much wider region of the parameter space. In the normal dispersion regime, stable narrow bright solitons exist. Some of our findings can be understood by a new scenario reported here for the spatial eigenvalues, which imposes oscillatory tails to all localised states. To be published in Optics Letters.

Lamet

Publisher: name: Database of Religious History (DRH)
Year: 2020

description: The Lamet are native to the northwestern part of what is now known as Laos. This entry focuses on the Lamet living in this region around the time of 1940, and draws primarily from the work of principal ethnographic authority Karl Gustav Izikowitz. At the time Izikowitz was conducting field work among the Lamet (1936-1938), the region was governed by France, and was known as French Indochina. Despite being under French political rule, the Lamet culture was not greatly influenced by European culture. Each Lamet village is an independent unit, and no formal political office exists beyond the level of the village. However, the Lamet have seven totemic, patrilineal, exogamous clans that cut across villages and regulate marriage ties. The most important social unit is the house group, which is comprised of an extended family led by a housefather. Each village includes several house groups. There is somewhat of a hierarchy among the housefathers, with those who are lem (wealthiest) having greater influence within the village. The individual most closely resembling a chief is the xǝmiā (priest of sacrifice), whose authority varies in each village depending on personality and status. The xǝmiā’s responsibilities include performing all sacrifices to the various spirits of the village, ensuring order is kept and the spirits are not disturbed, and supervising the community house. The position is hereditary in the male line. Religious ceremonies focus around hunting, agriculture and the seasonal cycle, death/burial rites, and maintaining the good will of spirits to ensure the wellbeing of the village. Lamet supernatural beings include village spirits, ancestor spirits (also known as house spirits), and forest spirits. Additionally, rice possess a spirit in the same way that a human possesses a soul. Medicine men are also present, and use divination to determine which spirit is causing illness and what needs to be done to appease the spirit. For the Lamet, religion does not exist in a distinct sphere of life, but is bound up with the functioning of society as a whole. Consequently, this entry considers the religious group to be coterminous with the society.
