title: Copyright in education: bringing the classroom to life

authors: Dimitrov, Dara

subjects: Copyright

abstract: The author, the daughter of a refugee, underscores the significance of education instilled by her father, who lacked it himself but saw it as a means to break free from poverty. She argues that educators require affordable training and access to materials, but copyright laws create obstacles.

Research highlights issues with copyright exceptions for educators in Fiji and the Philippines. Educators unintentionally use copyrighted materials, struggling with the intricacies of copyright law.

Financial limitations pose challenges for educational institutions globally, impacting both developed and developing countries. Educators often resort to using online resources without proper licensing due to these constraints.

The author stresses the concern of copyright enforcement against educators, particularly in developing nations. Complex copyright exceptions hinder teaching quality and material utilization.

In conclusion, the author urges a relaxation of copyright laws in education to ensure equitable access to education, especially in developing countries.

title: How going to space changes the debate about radical human enhancement

authors: Agar, Nicholas

subjects: Devonian period

abstract: This paper predicts that humans will venture into space and that, to survive and thrive in space, we will need to enhance our capacities radically. Moderate enhancement is insufficient for a humanity that commits to a future in Space. The paper is a partial retraction of the author's claims about the morality and prudential rationality of radical human enhancement. It allows that radical enhancement may be imprudent and immoral for Earth-bound humans, but essential for humans who settle in space. The paper advances a conjecture about how to assess which kinds of radical enhancements are required and which should be rejected. A humanity that commits to a future in Space may make progress on some disputes that today seem intractable.

title: Kaupapa Māori framework and literature review of key prinicples

authors: Kennedy, Nathan

subjects: New Zealand

abstract: The literature review in this report was the starting point for the development of a Māori research strand within the Planning Under Co-operative Mandates (PUCM) research programme. The original purpose of this report Kaupapa Māori Framework and Literature Review of Key Principles was to establish definitions of environmentally significant concepts of kaupapa and tikanga Māori. In  addition,  the  review  sought  to  identify  and  briefly  describe  significant  variations between  understandings of the key concepts without attempting to reconcile these. As the purpose of the review in 2005 was to inform the development of a kaupapa Māori methodology for the identification and development of Māori environmental outcomes and indicators, we paid particular regard to Māori perceptions of the environment and the relevance of each concept in environmental terms.
