The relationship between Fulani herdsmen and farmers has in recent years become hot-tempered motivated by competitive control of land resources, particularly in central and north-east Nigeria. In Taraba State, the ongoing nomadic migration pattern from the Sahel in quest of pastures has led to violent confrontation between Fulani herdsmen and farming indigenous natives. Using a descriptive approach consisting of documented evidence, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions, the analysis revealed that conflicts between Fulani herdsmen and indigenous native farmers have culminated in population displacement and destruction of life and property in numerous rural enclaves in Taraba State. Despite the consequences of the conflicts, the Taraba State government was unable to act proactively because of the centralization of command over Nigerian security agencies. Accordingly, the study suggests decentralization of security agencies in Nigeria, especially the police, as the way forward for effective security governance in Nigeria.

Indigenous peoples often face significant vulnerabilities to climate risks, yet the capacity of a social-ecological system (SES) to resilience is abstracted from indigenous and local knowledge. This research explored how the Tayal people in the Wulai tribes located in typhoon disaster areas along Nanshi River used indigenous knowledge as tribal resilience. It applied empirical analysis from secondary data on disaster relief and in-depth interviews, demonstrating how indigenous people’s endogenous actions helped during post-disaster reconstructing. With the intertwined concepts of indigenous knowledge, SESs, and tribes’ cooperation, the result presented the endogenous actions for tribal resilience. In addition, indigenous knowledge is instigated by the Qutux Niqan of mutual assistance and symbiosis among the Wulai tribes, and there is a need to build joint cooperation through local residence, indigenous people living outside of their tribes, and religious or social groups. The findings of tribal resilience after a typhoon disaster of co-production in the Wulai, Lahaw, and Fushan tribes include the importance of historical context, how indigenous people turn to their local knowledge rather than just only participating in disaster relief, and how they produce indigenous tourism for indigenous knowledge inheritance. The paper contributes to contemporary tribal resilience research as well as cooperation actions among tribes through indigenous knowledge, all of which exhibit social, nature, and economy resilience from their own indigenous knowledge to address the possibility of governance and disaster adaptation.

Environmental issues are given prominence in the media and scientific circles. From the 60’s until early 2010 there were changes in the way people related to the environment, with a paradigm shift occurring regarding the environment. This study sought to identify the representational content disseminated by the press media on the environment in different periods. A qualitative survey was therefore conducted of documents, and data were obtained through texts published in a magazine with national circulation. The data were analyzed using the ALCESTE program with a Lexicographic Analysis. It was identified that the press media reflects the paradigm shifts, and publications dating from the late 60’s are compatible with the old paradigm, evolving over time, and are now compatible with the new environmental paradigm. The results indicate that currently the environment needs care in all its aspects and lack of care creates global impacts.

Karen Fog Olwig: When culture is to be „preserved“: perspectives from a West Indian research project At the same time as anthropology has begun to apply a more processual perspective to the study of culture as fluid and changing, many of the „fourth world“ peoples studied by anthropologists have become preoccupied with codifying their culture in the form of aboriginal, authentic traditions which can be preserved from change. This concem with cultural traditions is tied to the struggle for human rights by indigenous people. The concept of culture as unchanged traditions is not only in conflict with current anthropological thinking, it is also ill suited to the struggles of peoples who cannot claim this form of ancient indigenous status, but who nevertheless share with „fourth world“ peoples the same need to defend their cultural autonomy. Among this latter group is the people of the Caribbean, who are indigenous to Africa, but came to the islands as part of a process of colonization. This article is based upon a study of the difficulties faced by such a non-indigenous, but nevertheless „native“ community of several centuries standing, in their efforts to defend their cultural and economic autonomy. In the West Indian case modem anthropological theory and the population studied by anthropologists need not be in conflict.

Background Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder with a broad variety of symptoms. Although narcolepsy is primarily characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexy (loss of muscle control triggered by emotions), patients may suffer from hypnagogic hallucinations, sleep paralysis, and fragmented night sleep. However, the spectrum of narcolepsy also includes symptoms not related to sleep, such as cognitive or psychiatric problems. Symptoms vary greatly among patients and day-to-day variance can be considerable. Available narcolepsy questionnaires do not cover the whole symptom spectrum and may not capture symptom variability. Therefore, there is a clinical need for tools to monitor narcolepsy symptoms over time to evaluate their burden and the effect of treatment. Objective This study aimed to describe the design, development, implementation, and evaluation of the Narcolepsy Monitor, a companion app for long-term symptom monitoring in narcolepsy patients. Methods After several iterations during which content, interaction design, data management, and security were critically evaluated, a complete version of the app was built. The Narcolepsy Monitor allows patients to report a broad spectrum of experienced symptoms and rate their severity based on the level of burden that each symptom imposes. The app emphasizes the reporting of changes in relative severity of the symptoms. A total of 7 patients with narcolepsy were recruited and asked to use the app for 30 days. Evaluation was done by using in-depth interviews and user experience questionnaire. Results We designed and developed a final version of the Narcolepsy Monitor after which user evaluation took place. Patients used the app on an average of 45.3 (SD 19.2) days. The app was opened on 35% of those days. Daytime sleepiness was the most dynamic symptom, with a mean number of changes of 5.5 (SD 3.7) per month, in contrast to feelings of anxiety or panic, which was only moved 0.3 (SD 0.7) times per month. Mean symptom scores were highest for daytime sleepiness (1.8 [SD 1.0]), followed by lack of energy (1.6 [SD 1.4]) and often awake at night (1.5 [SD 1.0]). The personal in-depth interviews revealed 3 major themes: (1) reasons to use, (2) usability, and (3) features. Overall, patients appreciated the concept of ranking symptoms on subjective burden and found the app easy to use. Conclusions The Narcolepsy Monitor appears to be a helpful tool to gain more insight into the individual burden of narcolepsy symptoms over time and may serve as a patient-reported outcome measure for this debilitating disorder.

The article discusses the features of the genres of environmental journalism in the aspect of the global problems of understanding the interaction of man and nature. In the modern period of the development of multimedia technologies and convergent journalism, journalism genres are experiencing “reboots”, therefore, the definition of genre identity and the further implementation of such an important topic as ecology in journalistic materials seems relevant.Journalism is constantly transforming, reflecting changes in society. Understanding her contemporary experience is one of the tasks of the methodology of the creative process. Journalism synthesizes theoretical research methods and ways of artistic reflection of reality. This synthesis process is especially evident in the way typification and individualization are carried out in society in terms of the development of environmental consciousness. In this regard, journalism and journalism are able to establish and develop environmental communication, the basis of which is the real relationship between man and nature, as well as the reflection of social reality, public opinion on informational issues related to environmental (environmental) issues.The journalism activism of Kyrgyzstan has a large-scale experience of reflecting environmental issues, which is associated with a value and cultural orientation, the foundations of which are laid in the socio-cultural traditions of the Kyrgyz people and are most vividly embodied in the work of the great Chingiz Aitmatov. This article attempts to typify the main genres and forms of journalism, reflecting environmental issues. The study allows us to conclude that at the present stage, definitions of journalism genres require transformation in the aspect of both purely national and general cultural issues. The practical significance lies in the inclusion in the list of basic disciplines of journalism faculties of the special course "Genres of Contemporary Environmental Journalism", which will make the learning process more substantive, relevant and relevant in the practice of modern media

Hungary’s new national sustainable development strategy is expected to be drawn up by 2012 and social debate for discussion has already been under way. This document provides the basis of all other strategies, programs and plans. I prepared a survey by the method of structured in-depth interviews to explore the opinion of experts engaged in environmental issues and strategy development about sustainable development, the situation of the Hungarian strategy adopted in 2007 and applied indicators. The picture is highly diverse: there is a lack of unified viewpoint even about the concept of sustainability. However, the definition of a common, jointly adopted concept is the first stage in strategy development. Precisely formulated objectives and their related indicators are required for a strategy to fulfill its role – this is the theoretical part of strategic thinking.

Diversas sociedades han concebido a la naturaleza como un todo integral, una entidad viva. Esta perspectiva ontológica es una forma del ser en el mundo y representa otros caminos de la convivencia con el entorno. Este texto busca aportar elementos para entender la lógica de la percepción del agua en los pueblos mazahuas del Estado de México, a partir de referentes cosmológicos. Desde la perspectiva de la ecofilosofía, estas formas de asumir el entorno nos permiten repensar nuestros fundamentos epistémicos sobre la naturaleza. Metodológicamente, se realizó trabajo de campo en las comunidades mazahuas de la región noroccidente y occidente del Estado de México, principalmente se retomaron localidades cercanas a los ríos Lerma y Cutzamala. A partir de entrevistas a profundidad, recorridos de área e información documental se identificó la percepción del agua, así como los diferentes conflictos por los recursos hídricos y los proyectos de trasvase.Abstract: Various societies have designed nature as an integral whole and as a living entity. This ontological perspective is a form of being in the world and represents other paths of coexistence with the environment. This text seeks to provide elements to understand the perception of water in the Mazahua people of the State of Mexico, from cosmological references. From the perspective of ecophilosophy, these cosmological referents are necessary to rethink our epistemic foundations on nature. Methodologically, fieldwork was carried out in the Mazahua communities of the northwestern and western region, mainly in localities near the Lerma and Cutzamala rivers. Based on in-depth interviews, area tours and documentary information, the perception of water was identified, as well as the different conflicts over water resources and diversion projects.Keywords: water; Indigenous people; ontologies of nature; ecophilosophy; oral narrative.Résumé : Diverses sociétés ont conçu la nature comme un tout intégral, une entité vivante.

Du point de vue de l’écophilosophie, ces les façons d´assumer l´environnement, nous permettent de repenser nos fundements épistémiques sur la nature. Méthodologiquement, des travaux de terrain ont été effectués dans les communautés Mazahua du nord-ouest et de l’ouest du pays, principalement dans les localités proches des rivières Lerma et Cutzamala. À partir d’entretiens approfondis, de visites de zones et d’informations documentaires, la perception de l’eau a été identifiée, ainsi que les différents conflits liés aux ressources en eau et aux projets de dérivation.Mots-clés : l’eau ; peuples autochtones ; ontologies de la nature ; écophilosophie ; récit oral.
