Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to explore the role of local knowledge for climate adaptation. Despite increasing interest over recent years in people's knowledge and capacity for adaptation to climate change, there have been few systematic studies of what this implies for adaptation theory and practice, particularly in a developing country setting. The motivation for the thesis is that a better understanding of the current use of local knowledge in responses to climate variability and change is needed for policies to support adaptation. The thesis addresses this gap by examining what role local kno

This research investigates the knowledge sharing initiatives in local authorities in Malaysia. It focuses on to what extent knowledge sharing initiatives impact on the planning permission process and how best this impact can be conceptually modelled and presented for the purpose of improving the process. The aim of this research is to establish the significance of knowledge sharing initiatives in the planning permission process and to develop guidance in this regard for local authorities in Malaysia with a view to improving the process. The needs of this research arise due to the importance an

Abstract:

The term local knowledge is still not very popular in the world of academia. Yet this is a primary knowledge that individuals acquire from parents/guardians and society. Local knowledge is embedded in mother tongue languages; and each community has a sense of ownership towards it. Accessibility as well as transmittance of local knowledge requires acquaintance with mother tongue languages plus their environments. Unfortunately current studies show that many world languages are getting extinct. This means vast amounts of local knowledge would not be available for future posterity. Language revit

These people of various background and differing intentions cooperate to develop the community and its business of organic food production while learning from each other.

Abstract:

This thesis presents the design and implementation of a knowledge-oriented clustering algorithm that can be applied to data of both single and mixed-attribute type. The algorithm has a simple framework, based on that of hierarchical clustering, and the main clustering tool is a form of indiscernibility relation modified from the field of rough set theory. The research focuses on extracting maximal knowledge from data, both local and global, with minimal human intervention in order to obtain clusters that are meaningful and free from user-bias. This is achieved by employing well-defined numeric

Abstract:

This thesis explores the manifold ways that people encountered and adapted to legal processes and concepts in late-medieval England. It argues that these encounters with law were inextricably related to space and local knowledge, that is, to particular physical places, and the localized information that was produced within those places. The thesis makes two historiographical interventions. Firstly, it argues that the huge variety of different law courts operating in late-medieval England created a situation of ‘legal pluralism’, meaning that there were far more opportunities to become involved

Abstract:

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have advanced rapidly in recent years and the volume of raw data received at an endpoint can be huge. We believe that the use of local knowledge, acquired from sources such as the surrounding environment, users and previously sensed data, can improve the efficiency of a WSN and automate the classification of sensed data. We define local knowledge as knowledge about an area that has been gained through experience or experimentation. With this in mind, we have developed a three-tiered architecture for WSNs that uses differing knowledge-processing capabilities at e

Lyme disease is a multisystemic, infectious disease caused by the tick-borne spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. The CDC designated LD as a reportable disease in 1990 and evidence suggests underreporting of the disease in Indiana. Local health department nurses have a major role in the areas of disease recognition, reporting, and education about LD. The present study assessed local health department nurses' knowledge of LD to determine their competence as LD educators.The study consisted of 428 nurses in 92 counties and three cities with independent health departments who were mailed a questionna

The general aim of this thesis is to illuminate the process of learning as it occurs in formal and informal contexts. The study focuses on South African scholars attending school in rural areas where the contrast between learning in formal and informal learning contexts is more pronounced than that in urban areas. The research draws on rural scholars' local knowledge of formal and informal learning contexts in order to gain a rich insight into how cognition is situated in different learning contexts.

Education is often defined as imparting knowledge and skills for the rising generations. If this is the case, it must be asked who gets to define the knowledge being imparted and knowledge left out.

Recently there has been an increasing amount of research and discourse on different knowledge systems and the knowledge and know-how being gained in the communities at grassroot level are gaining more attention.
