This essay takes the practices of biobanking as a case study in order to redefine and reframe current assumptions about the role, practices, and orientation of heritage. While it is conventional to think about conservation or preservation as a series of practical fields oriented towards preserving and managing what remains of biological and cultural diversity from the past, it is perhaps less often the case that we reflect on the role of heritage in assembling and making futures, despite ubiquitous claims that the aim of such procedures is the preservation of objects, places, and practices for future generations. This essay probes these future orientations to demonstrate that conservation is a series of activities which are intimately concerned with assembling, building, and designing future worlds, and to argue that heritage might be productively reframed as ‘worlding’ or ‘future-making’ practices.

Value co-destruction is emerging as an important way to conceptualize non-positive outcomes from actor-to-actor interactions. However, current research in this area neither offers a clear way to understand how value co-destruction manifests nor does it consider the role of actor engagement behaviors. Drawing on a case study in the aerospace industry, the present study begins by identifying and describing two ways in which actor perceptions of value co-destruction form: goal prevention and net deficits. Next, the study identifies and describes nine actor engagement behaviors that moderate actor experiences of value co-destruction. The study also unpacks these concepts at both the actor-to-actor and service ecosystem levels. The article concludes with implications for marketing theory and practice.

Abstract This article examines the role of cultural expertise in asylum judicial decisions in the UK by focusing on witchcraft-based persecution. The case study highlights multiple challenges to decision-making created by religious and cultural diversity, and the ensuing problems of assessing unfamiliar facts and beliefs against the often lack of corroborating evidence. Drawing on legal sources and a small number of anthropological studies, as well as analyses of judicial decisions, the article discusses how the unique characteristics of witchcraft cases, with their unfamiliar paradigms, are illustrative of the need to analyse and understand asylum claims within their broad cultural, historical, economic, and political contexts. The article exposes how cultural expertise assists judges in appreciating specific contexts and curbing their Eurocentric understanding of culture and religion, and shapes the final outcome of cases.

THE ROLE OF EXTENSION WORKER IN FOSTERING A JOINT VENTURE PIGBUSINESS GROUP “SINGKATUHANG”(A Case Study in Buha village, Mapanget SubDistrict). The research had been done from April until August 2019, in Buha village, Mapanget district, Manado city.   The aim of this research was to find out the role of  extension workers  (animal husbandry instructor) in fostering and changing the behavior (knowledge, skill and attitude) of farmers  in a joint venture pig business groups “Singkatuhang” (Bantik ethnic language means brotherhood) on how to manage the proper pig raising system. This research was a qualitative research, where the data were obtained using observation and interview methods, after data processing then descriptively explained. Primary data covering all group activities and pig breeding business were taken from “Singkatuhang” group leader or members and the head of field extension workers, while secondary data covering the general condition of the region and extension institutions were obtained from Buha village office and Manado city of Agricultures, Marines and Fisheries office.  An ordinal scale was used to measure behavior variables and Ratio scale was used to measure group profits. Based on the analysis results, it can be concluded that the role of extension  workers has been changed the farmers’ behavior and influenced (quietly increased) the farmers’ income in a joint venture pig business group “Singkatuhang” compared to the minimum wage in North Sulawesi province 2019.

Corporate Influence

This study examines the role of corporate influence in shaping an American business school's commitment to racial and ethnic diversity. Themes emerging from an intensive case study include: (a) the centrality of corporate interest and support; (b) co-investment in ‘pipeline development’ strategies that encourage more minorities to pursue business education; (c) the role of external mandate in stimulating activity and accountability; (d) the recognition of diversity as a source of competitive advantage; and (e) evidence of partners mutually challenging each other to move the needle of progress on the diversity front. Overall, the study's findings lend support to the notion that the particular shape and scope of diversity-related activity in higher education is significantly conditioned by external desire, expectation, and involvement.

Native Host

The island marble butterfly (Euchloe ausonides insulanus), thought to be extinct throughout the 20th century until re-discovered on a single remote island in Puget Sound in 1998, has become the focus of a concerted protection effort to prevent its extinction. However, efforts to “restore” island marble habitat conflict with efforts to “restore” the prairie ecosystem where it lives, because of the butterfly’s use of a non-native “weedy” host plant. Through a case study of the island marble project, we examine the practice of ecological restoration as the enactment of particular norms that define which species are understood to belong in the place being restored. We contextualize this case study within ongoing debates over the value of “native” species, indicative of deep-seated uncertainties and anxieties about the role of human intervention to alter or manage landscapes and ecosystems, in the time commonly described as the “Anthropocene.” We interpret the question of “what plants and animals belong in a particular place?” as not a question of scientific truth, but a value-laden construct of environmental management in practice, and we argue for deeper reflexivity on the part of environmental scientists and managers about the social values that inform ecological restoration.
