Повний текст джерелаThe objective of this M.Arch dissertation is to study the Ghanzi District, Botswana. Because of the few developments and small population in the area, it might be perceived as a place with little to offer architecturally. I am interested in uncovering the contextual layers (landscape and cultures) in this area that could inform and improve the architecture there. The main objective is to investigate an accommodating architecture that allows the Basarwa (Bushmen in Botswana) to be integrated into the mainstream Batswana, but still allow for them to lead their daily traditional lives and express their id entity in ways consistent with their own values.

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: Climate sets range limits in many taxa, and as climate changes, the ranges that plants and animals occupy are altered. The responses of species to climate change involve either migration or local adaptation. An investigation of the local physiological adaptation shown by indigenous and alien arthropods to temperature acclimation formed the primary focus of this study. Increased environmental temperatures favour the establishment of alien species on Southern Ocean Islands. The first records of Porce/lio scaber Latreille, 1804 (Isopoda, Porcellionidae) and an Aphidius wasp species from Marion Island were documented here. The alien wasp was discovered in 2003 and had a current known distribution along the east coast of Marion Island. Both isopods and wasps were reproducing successfully on Marion Island. The wasp species is an aphid parasitoid and had been found mummifying the alien aphid Rhopalosiphum padi. These introductions highlighted the ongoing conflict between use and conservation on the Southern Ocean Islands. Despite considerable work on the upper and lower lethal limits of insects, several major taxa have received little attention. Here this issue was addressed and the lower and upper thermal tolerances and cold hardiness strategy of Antarciopsocus jeanneli Badonnel (Psocoptera: Elipsocidae) from sub-Antarctic Marion Island was investigated. A. jeanneli is freeze intolerant, and more specifically, moderately chill tolerant. Field fresh A. jeanne li had a mean supercooling point (SCP) of -11.1oC, whereas LTSO was -7.7°C, indicating pre-freeze mortality. A. jeanneli responded to acclimation: mean SCP increased from -IS.8°C at a treatment temperature ofO°C, to -7.3°C at ISOC. Investigations of the responses to acclimation of upper and lower lethal limits and limits to activity in insects have focussed primarily on Drosophila. Halmaeusa atriceps (Staphylinidae) was examined for thermal tolerance responses to acclimation, and seasonal acclimatization. In summer and winter, lower lethal temperatures of adults and larvae were c. -7.6 ± 0.03 and -11.1 ± 0.06 °C, respectively. Supercooling points (SCPs) were more variable, with winter SCPs of -S.4 ± 0.4 °C in larvae and -6.3 ± 0.8 °C in adults. The species appeared to be chill susceptible in summer and moderately freeze tolerant in winter, thus showing seasonal acclimatization. Critical thermal minima varied between -3.6 ± 0.2 and -0.6 ± 0.2 °C in larvae, and from -4.1 ± 0.1 to -0.8 ± 0.2 °C in adults. These findings were in keeping with the general pattern found in insects, although this species differed in several respects from others found on Marion Island. In this study the differential responses of indigenous and invasive springtails to temperature were explicitly examined in the context of the beneficial acclimation hypothesis (BAH) and its alternatives. In particular, the thermal acclimation responses of desiccation resistance, supercooling ability, lower and upper thermal limits were compared. Invasive springtails (Pogonognathellus jlavescens, Isotomurus palustris and Ceratophysella denticulata) did not display greater phenotypic flexibility than indigenous springtails (Cryptopygus antarcticus and Tullbergia bisetosa), but did perform better under high temperature conditions. Indigenous species, however, performed better under low temperature conditions. In most cases the BAH was not supported, or could not be distinguished from its alternatives. The prediction that invasive species will outperform indigenous species as climates on Southern Ocean Islands warm was supported. Because temperature plays such a large role in the distribution, abundance and physiological tolerances of invertebrates, microhabitat temperatures along an altitudinal gradient (0 to 800 m above sea level (asi)) were investigated over a two-year period on Marion Island. Mean microhabitat temperatures were comparable to those from previous studies for Southern Ocean Islands, and declined with increasing altitude. The 800 m asl site had the most severe microclimate (highest absolute maximum, lowest absolute minimum and the highest frequency of freeze-thaw cycles). Year one was substantially colder than year two, indicating that interannual variation in microclimate conditions could be responsible for substantial mortality amongst. invertebrate populations. Indeed, indigenous species were best able to tolerate the high incidence of low temperatures at high altitudes, whereas alien species appeared to be confined to lower altitudinal sites on Marion Island, possibly as a consequence of extreme low temperatures at higher altitudes.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Klimaat is een van die grootste faktore wat die verpreiding en digthede van dier en plantspesies bepaal. Soos wat klimaatsverandering plaasvind, kan spesies migreer om stresvolle klimaatstoestande te vermy, of hulle kan aanpas by plaaslike omstandighede. Dit is die laasgenoemde opsie wat in hierdie tesis ondersoek was. Die opsporing van Porcellio scaber Latreille, 1804 (Isopoda Porcellionidae) en 'n Aphidius wesp van Marion Eiland word hier aangeteken. Die huidige verspreiding van houtluise in die omgewing van die Navorsingstasie dui daarop dat hulle die eiland waarskynlik vanaf Kaapstad in bou-materiaal bereik het. Die wesp is gedurende 2003 ontdek en is tans versprei langs die oostelike kuslyn van Marion Eiland. Beide hierdie spesies plant suksesvol voort op Marion Eiland. Die wesp spesie parasiteer die uitheemse plantluis Rhopalosiphum padi. Uitheemse muise en die inheemse kleinskedebek weier tot dusver om P. scaber te eet. Die ontdekking van twee nuwe uitheemse spesies dui weereens op die konflik tussen bewaring en benutting van die Suidsee Eilande. Ten spyte daarvan dat aansienlike aandag gewy is aan die hoë- en lae temperatuur toleransies van insekte, is daar talle taksa wat selde nagevors word. Dié toleransies is dus nagevors vir die boekluis Antarctopsocus jeanneli Badennel (Psocoptera: Elipsocidae) van Marion Eiland. Die spesie is vries vermydend, en meer spesifiek, matig verkoelingsbestand. Veldvars A. jeanneli het 'n gemiddelde superverkoelingspunt van - 11.1 °C gehad, en letale temperature (LTSO) van -7.7 °C, wat aandui dat individue vrek voordat hulle vnes, Hierdie spesie reageer op akklimasie: gemiddelde superverkoelingspunt het toegeneem van -15.8 °C na akklimasie by 0 °C tot -7.3 °C na akklimasie by 15 oe. Die effek van akklimasie op temperatuur toleransie in insekte het dusver meestalop Drosophila gefokus. Hier vors ons die effek van akklimasie op die temperatuur toleransie van Halmaeusa atriceps (Styphylynidae) na. In die somer en winter was die lae letale temperature van kewers en larwes onderskeidelik -7.6 ± 0.03 en -11.1 ± 0.06 °C. Superverkoelingspunte (SVP) het meer gevarieer, met SVP van -5.4 ± 0.4 °C in larwes en -6.3 ± 0.8 oe in kewers. Die spesie IS verkoelingsvatbaar in die somer en matig vriesbestand in die winter, wat dui op akklimatisasie in hierdie spesie. Kritiese termale minima het tussen -3.6 ± 0.2 en -0.6 ± 0.2 oe in larwes, en tussen -4.1 ± 0.1 tot -0.8 ± 0.2 oe in kewers gewissel. Hierdie spesie blyk dieselfde fisiologiese tendense wat in insekte te vinde is uit te beeld, maar verskil in verskeie opsigte van ander insekte op Marion Eiland. Hierdie studie het ook die verskillende reaksies van inheemse en uitheemse springsterte met betrekking tot temperatuur akklimasie bestudeer. Die voordelige-akklimasie hipotese en sy alternatiewe hipoteses is in terme van akklimasiereaksies tot desikkasie weerstand, superverkoeling en lae- en hoë temperatuur bestandheid in Marion Eiland springsterte getoets. Die uitheemse springsterte (Pogonognathellus jlavescens, Isotomurus cf palustris en Ceratophysella denticulata) het nie beter fenotipiese plastisiteit getoon as die inheemse spesies (Cryptopygus antarcticus en Tullbergia bisetosa) nie. Die inheemse spesies het egter beter gevaar onder lae-temperatuur toestande. Die voordeligeakklimasie hipotese ontvang nie veelondersteuning in die huidige studie nie, maar kon in sommige gevalle nie van die alternatiewe hipoteses onderskei word nie. Klimaatsverandering mag uitheemse spesies bevoordeel. Die rol wat temperatuur in die verspreiding en fisiologiese toleransies van invertebrate speel word lank reeds waardeer. Daarom vors hierdie studie die mikrohabitat temperature teen 'n gradient tussen seespieël en 800 m bo seespieël (m bs) oor 'n tydperk van twee jaar op Marion Eiland na. Gemiddelde temperature is vergelykbaar met die van vorige studies op Marion Eiland, en neem af soos wat hoogte bo seespieël toeneem. Die 800 m bs studie-gebied het die mees stresvolle mikrohabitat-toestande ondervind (die hoogste absolute maksimum, laagste absolute minimum temperature, en die meeste vries-ontdooi siklusse). Inheemse spesies op Marion Eiland toon hoër.toleransies tot lae temperature as uiheemse spesies, laasgenoemde kom slegs voor by laer hoogtes bo seespieël, waar ekstreme ternperatuur-toestande dalk minder volop is. Klimaatsverwarming mag egter tot 'n toename in ekstreme weerstoestande lei op Marion Eiland, wat aansienlike mortaliteit in invertebraat populasies kan veroorsaak.

Повний текст джерелаAs algas não indígenas afetam comunidades naturais em todo o mundo, afetando a biodiversidade, o funcionamento dos ecossistemas e os seus serviços, com consequências económicas e sociais significativas. Entre os principais impactos estão deslocamento de espécies nativas e espécies ameaçadas e efeitos sobre processos ecológicos e evolutivos nas comunidades invadidas. A compreensão dos mecanismos de aclimatação e adaptação após a introdução representa um grande desafio nas algas marinhas. Nesta tese investigamos alguns processos de aclimatação, com ênfase no papel dos microorganismos associados e examinamos os seus efeitos usando Sargassum muticum como espécie modelo. Esta alga marinha nativa da Ásia é uma importante invasora, com uma distribuição atual do México ao Alasca na América e de Marrocos à Noruega na Europa. Primeiro analisamos as vantagens e características competitivas que podem contribuir para sua invasibilidade. Além disso, fornecemos uma visão geral dos mecanismos de aclimatação e adaptação subjacentes e destacamos seu papel nas invasões de algas marinhas. Em seguida, examinamos os efeitos da acidificação dos oceanos no microbioma de S. muticum e revelamos que não tem efeitos significativos sobre a comunidade microbiana das algas marinhas apesar de causar algumas mudanças na comunidade. No estudo das mudanças sazonais na microbiota associada às algas marinhas revelamos diferenças significativas entre as estações e os locais geográficos. Finalmente, realizamos modelação de nicho ecológico de forma inovadora para a fenologia, para projetar a distribuição de S. muticum em dois cenários futuros de mudança climática. De acordo com nossas projeções, até 2100, a distribuição de S. muticum deverá expandir-se para norte ao longo das suas distribuições européia, norte-americana e asiática, com retração parcial das áreas atualmente ocupadas.

Повний текст джерелаNon-indigenous seaweeds impact natural communities worldwide, affecting biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and ecosystem services, resulting in significant economic and social consequences. Among major impacts are the displacement of native species, a threat to endangered species, and effects on ecological and evolutionary processes within the invaded communities. While critical to predict the fate of introduced species, understanding the mechanisms of acclimation and adaptation following introduction represents a great challenge in seaweeds. In this thesis, we investigated some acclimation processes, with an emphasis on the role of associated microbiota, and examined their effects with Sargassum muticum as a model species. This brown seaweed native to Asia, is an emblematic invader among seaweeds, with a distribution now ranging from Mexico to Alaska in America and from Morocco to Norway in Europe. We first reviewed the competitive advantages and traits that may contribute to its invasiveness. We then showed that acidification has no significant effects on associated bacteria, although seasonal changes in the microbiome have been observed. Finally, we applied ecological niche modelling, but innovatively accounting for phenology, to project the distribution of S. muticum under two future climate change scenarios. According to our projections, by 2100 the distribution of S. muticum is expected to shift northwards along its European, North American and Asian distributions with partial retreat from the currently occupied areas

Повний текст джерелаThis research sought to explore the adaptation of Indian students at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), as well as building their life and career projects. The research was divided into two studies: the first described sociodemographic characteristics and variable adaptation to the university, with 17 participants responded to a tool for this purpose. The second study examines the meanings attributed to the experience of attending university and life and career projects of 8 students, with whom held a flexible roadmap interview. The results suggested that indigenous students value education at the college level and rely on family and community support to finish their studies. The importance of higher education was related to the formation of competencies to support the realization of the project to assist the indigenous communities upon completion of the course. The participants demonstrated a temporal perspective in the present resulting in little planning for the future, and the paper work was not seen as the most prominent in your life structure. However, according to the relational approach, the concept of work is to be expanded. Finally, implications of these findings were discussed.

Повний текст джерелаThe protection of the rights of indigenous peoples, who are displaced by environmental degradation, is a theme that has received little attention in most of the work on environmental displacement that tends to conceptualize displacement in an abstract way. The particularities of indigenous peoples' environmental displacement require analysis in the legal, political and social contexts in which they occur: this framework makes it possible not to isolate the environmental factor but to specify its importance in view of the particular relationship that indigenous peoples have with the land and their environment and their claims to be able to freely decide their future. Taking the indigenous communities in Alaska as an example, the analysis of the legal and institutional obstacles to the recognition of indigenous particularities in displacement then makes it possible to consider the role of the law in maintaining the status of indigenousness and the perpetuation of the status of the indigenous land in the territory of destination. The mobilization of the various corpuses of recognition of the rights of indigenous peoples under international, regional and domestic law (American law) allows for a re-reading of the obligations of States in the implementation of indigenous rights in the light of the unprecedented context of their environmental displacement, while demonstrating the importance of not locking indigenous peoples into a “legal straitjacket” that would lead communities to no longer being recognized as indigenous when being displaced

Повний текст джерелаCette recherche s’intéresse essentiellement à l’aspect pragmatique du concept d’adaptation aux changements climatiques, questionnant la réalité de l’adaptation – ou de la non adaptation – des populations à l’échelle locale. Pour ce faire, nous avons axé l’étude autour d’enquêtes de terrain menées dans le sud du Bénin, au sein de communautés rurales agricoles. Nous avons analysé la vulnérabilité climatique des populations à des aléas relevant de la variabilité du climat, qui semble s’être accentuée récemment. L’analyse repose sur le recours à un cadre d’analyse s’inspirant des approches contextuelles et top-down utilisées, dans la littérature récente, pour étudier la vulnérabilité aux changements climatiques. Ces approchent complémentaires permettent d’étudier la vulnérabilité initiale d’une société, fragilisée alors par de nouveaux stress qui émergent dans le contexte du réchauffement global.
Au final de cette recherche, nous avons mis en évidence les causes de la vulnérabilité climatique de populations sud-béninoises, causes situées à différentes échelles (locales à internationales), ainsi que les facteurs favorisant l’émergence de stratégies d’adaptation au climat :l’étude de ces facteurs inclut l’impact des politiques internationales de soutien à l’adaptation aux changements climatiques sur des populations locales du Bénin. Il ressort, en conclusions, que la vulnérabilité des sociétés doit s’étudier en regard de facteurs situés aux échelles locales, nationales et internationales, influençant les conditions de vie au sein de villages et favorisant la vulnérabilité des populations aux stress climatiques pouvant relever du réchauffement global. Dans nos cas d’étude, les populations sont vulnérables de par certains facteurs socio-économiques influençant les conditions de vie dans les villages, et, sur le plan de l’encadrement institutionnel, de par la faiblesse des structures de l’Etat, décentralisées :celles-ci se sont révélées peu présentes dans les villages étudiés, n’assurant pas le développement socio-économique et agricole à l’échelle locale. La vulnérabilité des populations qui en résulte est alors amplifiée par certains aléas climatiques spécifiques, accentuant la variabilité climatique et provoquant une certaine imprévisibilité au niveau de la pluviométrie. Réduire la vulnérabilité climatique des populations, y compris à des aléas qui pourront s’amplifier au cours des prochaines années, implique dès lors des actions se situant à différentes échelles – l’échelle locale, mais également visant certains aspects du fonctionnement de l’Etat béninois – et relevant à la fois, spécifiquement, de l’adaptation aux changements climatiques et, plus généralement, du développement socio-économique et institutionnel.

In Taiwan, Protection Act for the Traditional Intellectual Creations of Indigenous Peoples was legislated in 2007 and the interrelated regulations were formulated in 2015, turning over a new leaf for the protection regime from the traditional intellectual creations of indigenous peoples. As the part of traditional intellectual creations of Taiwanese indigenous peoples, the indigenous traditional music was vowed to be protected, initiated from the incident of using Difang’s “Drinking Song of Joy” by foreign album. Along with the changes in time, using indigenous traditional music materials in music creation and arrangement has been the source of inspiration for music workers already; however, the core problem concerned by music workers is the impact on music workers by the implementation of the Protection Act. This study starts with the specification of the Protection Act, introducing the use and management system of traditional intellectual creations of indigenous peoples under the Protection Act and comparing the differences with Copyright Act. Then, differentiating the quality and quantity of using intellectual creations and the degree of influence on intellectual creations for different arrangement styles, setting different types of users, using different arrangement techniques, and choosing the best use of pipeline under different ways of use. Finally, through the comparative analysis of actual cases, the viewpoint of this study is put forward as a reference for the traditional music protection system of indigenous peoples in Taiwan.

Abstract The title of this research is "Student Adaptation to Teacher Instruction in Junior High Schools of Indigenous Communities in Taiwan." The objectives of this research were to (1) understand the level of learning adaptation among junior high students of varying backgrounds in indigenous communities (2) analyze the correlation between instruction from junior high teachers in indigenous communities and how well students adapted to the learning environment (3) analyze if the instructional behavior of teachers in indigenous communities can be used to predict how well junior high students in indigenous communities adapt to the learning environment (4) summarize research results and give suggestions accordingly, to be a reference to teachers and schools in indigenous communities for resolving related problems. This research was conducted through a questionnaire survey. The survey was designed after analyzing existing literature and then constructing the hypothesis. The questionnaire was titled "Adaptation of indigenous community junior high students to instructional techniques of teachers." The questionnaire includes: basic information and adaptation to instruction techniques chart (divided into the teacher''s instructional techniques chart and the student adaptation chart); both to be used for the investigation and research. This research was conducted in the form of a questionnaire survey, where the research subjects were 696 current junior high students of indigenous communities within Taoyun, Hsinchu, and Miaoli counties. After the questionnaires were distributed by the researcher, a total of 559 students participated in the survey. After a preliminary questionnaire was completed by 90 indigenous students in Chienshih Junior High in Hsinchu, item analysis, factors analysis, and internal consistency tests were begun. The formal analysis part of this research used these statistical analysis methods: descriptive statistical analysis, T test, one-way analysis of variance, product-moment correlation test, stepwise simple regression analysis. The results are as follows: (1) Significant differences between the levels of learning adaptation for indigenous junior high students of different genders. (2) No significant differences between the levels of learning adaptation for indigenous junior high students of different grades levels. (3) No significant differences between the levels of learning adaptation for indigenous junior high students from families of different social or financial status. (4) Significant differences between the levels of learning adaptation for indigenous junior high students of different family structures. (5) No significant differences between the levels of learning adaptation for indigenous junior high students from families of different religious faiths. (6) The instructional techniques of teachers significantly correlated to the learning adaptation of students in indigenous communities. (7) The instructional techniques of teachers were predictive of the level of learning adaptation for indigenous students. From findings of this research, the following suggestions are proposed: 1. Suggestions for administration entities in education (1) Proactively realize the protection and support for indigenous peoples guaranteed by the Constitution. (2) Refine project objectives for priority education areas. (3) Strengthen intercultural education; build a harmonious multicultural society. 2. Suggestions for school administration (1) Simplify administrative processes; build a humanistic learning environment. (2) Realize the integration of education, discipline, and counseling; and comprehensively elevate the counseling and disciplining competence of teachers. (3) Strengthen teachers'' understanding of the unique cultural backgrounds of indigenous people. (4) Strengthen cooperation with the community to provide societal support. 3. Suggestions for teachers in indigenous communities (1) Improve humanistic refinement. (2) Lead in the process of democratization. (3) Share more life experiences with students. (4) Always be attentive for maintaining good student-teacher interactions. 4. Suggestions for parents of indigenous students (1) Correct bad habits; put more emphasis on family life. (2) Invest more money, time, and effort on the upbringing of children. (3) Parents should proactively be involved with education in school. 5. Suggestions for further research (1) For research subjects: broaden the pool of research subjects. (2) For research methods: include individual interviews, and observation of teachers and peers. (3) For research variables: increase the number of research variables related to different aspects of the schools. (4) For research topics: include action research.

Angus, Caroline Jane. "The use of AFLP to determine if a slimes-tolerant indigenous species shows local adaptation to slimes dam soils." Thesis, 2006. http://hdl.handle.net/10539/1730.
Повний текст джерелаPlant populations show an ability to survive and adapt under varying environmental conditions. Adaptation to heavy metal contaminated soils usually results in a decrease in genetic variation. Slimes dams consist of the pulverized rock slurry left after the extraction of gold or uranium. High toxicity levels mean that these wastes often remain uncolonised and are therefore easily eroded through wind or water. Plant populations that will be viable for long-term vegetation of slimes dams will prevent erosion, and stabilise and improve the quality of the soil. Indigenous, locally adapted species are the most likely to be successful candidates for vegetation. Indigenous, slimes-tolerant species Indigofera adenoides and Indigofera zeyheri were therefore studied. The aim was to determine if plant populations show local adaptation to the adverse substrate conditions emanating from slimes dams, by investigating genetic and morphological variation between adjacent populations growing at different distances in relation to slimes dams. The AFLP technique was used to analyse genetic variation as it produces rapid results, is inexpensive, reproducible, and capable of screening the entire genome. Lower genetic diversity was observed in those areas of the dams with higher levels of slimes-associated contamination. This difference was observed in both species, and for all measures of genetic diversity (Shannon’s information index, Nei’s gene diversity, percentage of loci polymorphic). This may be due to a founder effect following colonisation, natural selection, flowering time differences, or a combination of these factors. Reduced morphological variation was observed in those areas of the dams with higher levels of slimes-associated contamination. Significant morphological differences were observed between groups of plants from different areas, some of which appear to have the capability to assist the plants in a slimes-contaminated environment. Some degree of adaptation to slimes-contaminated soil therefore seems to have occurred, with this being more pronounced in Indigofera adenoides, although it cannot be determined whether this is purely phenotypic, or a combination of phenotypic and genetic. These species therefore seem suitable as candidates for vegetation of slimes dams, although further work must be done to fully understand the effect of slimes-associated toxicity.

Повний текст джерелаThe purpose of this study was to examine how subsistence farmers in the Delta State of Nigeria employed their asset portfolios i.e. human, financial, social, natural and physical capitals to build their adaptive capacity and resilience to climate variability and change. The study was also interested in understanding the extent to which climate change risk communication facilitated the protection and adaptation of subsistence farmer’s assets in the face of extreme weather warnings. Primary data were obtained using the Participatory Climate Change Adaptation Appraisal (PCCAA), which comprises both the asset vulnerability analytical and the asset-based adaptation operational frameworks. The systems thinking approach, together with the asset vulnerability analytical framework were also used as an operational vulnerability framework to highlight the myriad factors undermining the rural poor from maximising their asset portfolios during food production. Focus group discussions and semi-structured interviews facilitated the use of the PCCAA tools. Meteorological data reinforced subsistence farmer’s perception (62%) that there has been an increase in temperature within the last decade, which have adversely affected on groundnut production. The farmers (92%) also listed heavy rainfall event and flooding as a climatic variable that impede their ability to produce cassava throughout the year. This is because their farmlands, which are generally low-lying, are always inundated for approximately four months every year. Nonetheless, the farmers still engaged in cassava production annually by adopting a strategy indigenously referred to as elelame (follow-water-go). It is important to mention that in spite of the rapidly changing climate, the subsistence farmers did not rely on Seasonal Climate Forecast (SCF) in order to determine the appropriate time to grow their food. Instead, they relied on their Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) not limited to cloud observations, croaking of frogs and peculiar sounds made by the swamp chickens. However, the farmers acknowledged that their IKS have not been as reliable as it has always been in the past decades. Nonetheless, the farmers underlined being misled by an inaccurate scientific forecast in 2013 and, a lack of trust in the source of the forecast are some of the reasons they continue to rely primarily on IKS. With climate change expected to continue occurring at unprecedented levels in Nigeria, it is crucial to build subsistence farmers trust in SCF while simultaneously not undermining the value of their IKS. This is because there is growing consensus that if subsistence farmers continue to rely on IKS alone, the key assets that play a huge role in food production will likely be eroded. This will adversely hamper households’ ability to continue obtaining the livelihood they aggressively pursue. Thus, a useful starting point will be to generate a “unified” forecast whereby SCF compensates for the limitations of farmer’s IKS. However, for the unified forecast to make meaningful contributions to the ways in which farmers produce their food and protect their assets in anticipation of an extreme weather forecast, it must be communicated through the various mediums that the farmers rely upon to receive vital pieces of information. Keywords: Indigenous knowledge systems, seasonal climate forecast, climate change risk communication, Delta State, Nigeria.

This study originated from the realisation that non-conventional crops such as Bambara nuts (Vigna subterranea) were becoming increasingly important in addressing food insecurity and malnutrition in the smallholder farming sector of countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Moreover, some of the smallholder crop farmers were observed to be continuing to rely on indigenous techniques to forecast rainfall and adapt agricultural activities in response to climate variability. However, it was not clear how climate change influenced the productivity of V. subterranea. Nor were the indigenous approaches that farmers used to forecast rainfall on this phenomenon well understood. Thus, a study was carried out to identify and document indigenous approaches that smallholder farmers used to forecast rainfall and adaptation practices relating to V. subterranea. The study was conducted in Xigalo and Lambani villages located in Collins Chabane Local Municipality of Vhembe District in Limpopo Province. The villages served as case study areas that helped to compare the native approaches that the Va-Tsonga and Vha-Venda used to forecast rainfall in the course of producing V. subterranea. A multi-case study research design, which was exploratory in nature was adopted. Convenience and snowball sampling techniques were used to identify and select respondents. The triangulation of participatory methods, techniques and tools guided the collection of qualitative data. Key informant interviews, learning circles, photovoice, one-on-one interviews and narrative inquiry techniques were applied during data collection. Smallholder farmers and the elderly members of communities were the respondents. Nine key informants in Xigalo and Lambani villages were interviewed. One retired and two currently serving government extension officers were also interviewed. Separate learning circles comprising mainly elderly men and women were also organised. Each learning circle was made up of 7-10 respondents. Atlas.ti version 7.5.7 software was used to analyse the qualitative data following the thematic content analysis approach. It was observed that the respondents were aware of climate variability events that affected V. subterranea. Some of the events were shifts in rainfall patterns, heavy rainfall, extreme temperatures, scarcity of summer rainfall, the disappearance of lunar signs and the seasonal cycle variations. Eighteen types of phenological signs used to predict rainfall were identified. The most common signs included the Milky Way Galaxy of stars, musical sounds of birds and frogs, moon shapes, cumulus and cumulonimbus cloud types. A close relationship between conservation of V. subterranea and adaptation strategies was said to exist. It was evident that most commonly used conservation strategies were rainmaking ceremonies, planting after the summer rains, hoeing weeds, soaking seeds before planting, hilling or earthing up around the base of the V. subterranea plant and storing the legumes in traditional vessels and sacks. The need for integrating western scientific knowledge with native forecasts to inform the production of V. subterranea was uncovered. In addition to this, the needs of Tsonga and Venda communities should inform local policy interventions. Lastly, adaptation strategies that address food insecurity with V. subterranea being part of the agro-ecosystem deserve attention in scientific investigation and policymaking.

The objectives of this study were to elucidate the life adaptation and sense of well-being of nursing students in technical and vocational schools, compare the differences in the life adaptation and sense of well-being of different nursing students in technical and vocational schools, and analyze the correlation between life adaptation and sense of well-being. A questionnaire survey approach was adopted as the research method. Three hundred formal questionnaires were administered via mail to indigenous college students of a university of science and technology. The valid questionnaire recovery rate was 92.3%. The Life Adaptation Scale for University Students and the Chinese Happiness Inventory were adopted as the research tools to assess the respondents. The SPSS 18.0 statistical software bundle was used to analyze the various items of the questionnaire and the validity of the scales. The questionnaire data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent-sample t-tests, a single-factor analysis of variance (ANOVA), a Pearson product-moment correlation analysis, and a regression analysis. The findings were as follows: 1. The respondents in different grades or with different religions or parents’ marital status had significantly different life adaptation scores. 2. Respondents in different groups had significantly different sense of well-being scores. 3. Respondents’ overall life adaptation and various dimensions achieve significant and positive correlations with their overall sense of well-being. 4. Respondents’ overall life adaptation is a significant predictor of their overall sense of well-being.

One of the major challenges facing all categories of farmers globally is climate change. African smallholder farmers are the most vulnerable to changes in climate. In most parts of South Africa, empirical evidence indicates the level to which climate change has impacted negatively on agricultural production. Rising temperatures, prolonged drought and decreasing rainfall have affected local farmers’ livelihood and crop production. In the Vhembe District of South Africa’s Limpopo Province, smallholder farming predominates and its vulnerability to climate change has increased for the past decades. This study, therefore, assesses the impact of climate change and adaptation strategies on smallholder farming systems in the Vhembe District To achieve this aim, qualitative and quantitative research methodologies were employed. A questionnaire was administered to a sample of 224 smallholder farmers to elicit data on perceptions; climate change impacts, adaptation and IKS based strategies to deal with climatic shocks. Focus group discussions (FGDs), semi-structured interviews with the extension officers elicited thematic data that complemented the interview survey. Climate data were obtained from the South Africa Weather Service (SAWS) for the period 1980 to 2015. Smallholder farmers’ perceptions about climate change were validated by an analysis of climatic trends from 1980-2015. A thematic analysis of qualitative data and the Multi Nominal Logit (MNL) regression model was used based on socio-economic and biophysical attributes such as access to climate knowledge, gender, farm size, education level, and farmers’ experience, decreasing rainfall and increasing temperature as farmers’ determinants of their adaptation options to climate change. Furthermore, farmers’ perceptions tallied well with climatic trends that showed flood and drought cycles. Most of the smallholder farmers were aware of climate change and its impacts over the past decades. The study further indicated that, due to the marked climate change over this period, farmers have adopted different coping strategies at on-farm and off-farm levels. In terms of adaptation, the major adaptive strategies used by smallholder farmers included the use of drought-tolerant seeds; planting of short-seasoned crops; crop diversification; changing planting dates; irrigation and migrating to urban areas. The study recommends a framework that would include water conservation (rainfall harvesting); investment in irrigation schemes and other smart technologies that integrate indigenous knowledge systems and modern scientific knowledge to enhance crop production.
