Abstract:

RESUMENSe ha completado el iinventarlo de los géneros y especies de palmeras que crecen en Guyana Francesa por un rápido estudio de su distribución tanto en Guyana como fuera de Guyana, y de su reparto por biótopos Y zonas de altitud. Se desviva de este estudio que los géneros mejor representados en Guyana son, respectivamente, Bactris, Geonoma y Astrocaryum que incluyen, fundamentalmente, las especies del sotobosque de la selva densa. Sibien ciertas especies presentan una amplia distribución en América del Sur, otras, que hasta la fecha se presumen endémicas, tanto de las Guyanas como de la propria Guyana Francesa constituyen el testimonio de la originalidad de esta région fitogeográfica y consolidan asi la hipótesis de un refugio forestal durante los periodos más secos del Cuaternario reciente. A pesar de la reducida altitud de los relieves de Guyana (850m) ciertas palma demuestran, finalmente, ser estrictamente dependientes de estas cimas y sevuelven a encontrar, por lo general, en los relieves de Venezuela y del Norte de los Andes.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The article, while critically examining the provenance of Guyana’s “underdevelopment”, scrutinizes effects of “Doctrine of Discovery”, and construes that “maraud” befittingly describes the purpose of European discovery voyages to Americas and the Caribbean: the “genocides”; “institutionalized-injustice”; “Human Zoos”; and “systematic atrocities” perpetuated by the European monarchies ravaged Americas, Caribbean, and African nations - inflicting irreversible devastation that persists to this day. The British, questing for Guyana’s resources, setup bare infrastructure and institutions to facilitate “looting” while keeping it “underdeveloped” and its population in “abject poverty”. They were, absolutely, not interested in developing Guyana. However, US & UK continue meddling in Guyanese affairs: bankrolling “Democracy Degeneration”; enabling “Kleptocracy” that has been draining Guyana for the last five decades; and, now, drooling over potential oil money. The article recommends that Guyana is ravenous for legitimate, antidotal, “constitutional reforms” guaranteeing a decentralised, pragmatic, governing model that is: participatory; transparent; accountable; responsive; equitable; and inclusive. To abrogate “Colonial Dehumanisation Effects”, Guyana needs to restore the indigenous peoples “Human Dignity”, “Identity” and “Rights”; rid Guyana of the antiquated, repressive colonial institutions; and reform the archaic education system. “Analog Generation” has to let go; 21st century belongs to “netizens-digital generation”, they must fully participate and play a decisive role in Guyana’s politics and development. Guyanese must use technology to “Reinvent Democracy” and ensure that; it is neither “hacked” nor “hijacked”, “Global Democracy” does not undermine “National Democracy”, and “Political Clientelism” is eradicated for good.

Abstract:

Guyana’s colonial past has left a trail of economic instability, racial polarization, and physical and mental trauma. Despite the progress made since Guyana’s independence in 1966, the remnants of this colonial past continue to shape present-day Guyana. As a result, violence and trauma continue to impact the mental health of the population. This is manifest in endemic problems of domestic violence and racialized social divisions which have created the conditions for rates of suicide which are amongst the highest in the world. The formal mental health provision which exists in Guyana is based primarily on an individualized and largely biomedical model of care. Despite valuable attempts to develop this provision, the difficulty of physically accessing this for some people and the stigma which surround this means that the capacity of this system to address the serious problems which exist is limited. It is also the case that in times of emotional and psychic distress, and in the context of Guyana being a very religious country, many people turn to traditional supernatural healers and remedies for support. In this paper, we discuss what is known as “Obeah”, noting that while this is widely practiced, it remains something of a taboo subject in Guyana. We consider the reasons why these practices and beliefs continue to be influential. However, what neither these biomedical or supernatural perceptions of mental health are able to address is the sociogenic nature of Guyana’s mental health issues, which we argue emerges out of the historic trauma of Guyana’s experience of colonialism and the violence which it engendered. We argue that profound forms of mental distress which exist in Guyana call for an integrative and holistic practice model that contextualizes these problems through a sociogenic lens. Social workers, working collaboratively with other health-related professions, can occupy a critical role in integrating these different conceptions through developing a rights-based model of mental health where the causes of mental ill-health are understood as socially determined.

Abstract:

El artículo analiza las oportunidades para el desarrollo económico de Guyana a partir del auge de su industria petrolera. Para eso, fue realizada una revisión de la literatura sobre el desarrollo económico en países ricos en recursos naturales. En seguida, fue analizada la experiencia guyanesa desde el descubrimiento de recursos en el bloque Stabroek y los planes gubernamentales para impulsar la diversificación económica del país. Con base en lo anterior, son discutidos los desafíos que Guyana enfrenta para hacer una correcta utilización de esos recursos. Entre los resultados, el estudio muestra que, a pesar de que el aumento de la producción petrolera colocará a Guyana entre las naciones de mayor crecimiento económico en la próxima década, el país necesita superar importantes desafíos en materia de capacidad institucional, capital humano e infraestructura para garantizar la utilización eficaz de la riqueza derivada de la actividad petrolera en el impulso del desarrollo nacional.

Abstract:

AbstractWe document the first records for Guyana of Roraiman Antbird (Percnostola [Schistocichla] “leucostigma” saturata), an endemic of the tepui highlands of southeastern Venezuela, northern Brazil and western Guyana. This form is well differentiated from nominate leucostigma (Spot-winged Antbird) of the Guianan lowlands in morphology, vocalizations, and genetics, and replaces it both altitudinally and ecologically. The two taxa are distributed parapatrically on the continuously forested northeastern slopes of the eastern tepuis, and they almost certainly come into contact, yet there is no evidence of intermediacy. We recommend that saturata be treated as a distinct species of Percnostola, and consider its' origin in the light of various models of speciation in the tepuis.Especiación de Aves en el Pantepui: El Caso de Percnostola (Schistocichla) “leucostigma” saturataResumen. En este trabajo documentamos los primeros registros para Guyana de Percnostola (Schistocichla) “leucostigma” saturata, un hormiguero endémico de las montañas del sureste de Venezuela, norte de Brazil y oeste de Guyana. Esta forma se diferencia notablemente en morfología, vocalizaciones y genética de P. l. leucostigma, presente en las tierras bajas de las Guyanas, y la reemplaza altitudinal y ecológicamente. Los dos taxa tienen distribuciones parapátricas en los bosques continuos de las laderas noreste de los tepuis del este, y casi con seguridad están en contacto, aunque no hay señales de hibridización. Recomendamos que saturata sea tratada como una especie distinta de Percnostola, y discutimos su origen considerando varios modelos de especiación en los tepuis.

Abstract:

Background: A Guyana-based, internal medicine (IM) post-graduate medical education program was established in 2013. However, lack of formal teaching sessions are barriers to the program’s success.Objective: To describe the partnership between the University of Calgary and the University of Guyana’s internal medicine residency programs (IMRP). This partnership was created to support the Guyana’s IM academic half-day and is characterized by mutually beneficial, resident-led videoconference teaching sessions.Methods: Calgary medical residents volunteered to create and present weekly teaching presentations to Guyanese residents via videoconference. Questionnaires were completed by Guyanese residents and provided to Calgary residents as feedback on their teaching and presentation skills. A similar survey was completed by Calgary residents.Lessons learned: Twenty-four videoconference teaching sessions were conducted over eight months with a total of 191 and 16 surveys completed by Guyana and Calgary residents, respectively. Over 92% of both Guyana and Calgary residents agreed that the sessions enhanced their learning and over 93% reported increased interest in becoming more involved in international collaborations. 88% of Calgary residents felt the sessions improved their teaching skills.Conclusion: The formation of a resident-led, videoconference teaching series is a mutually beneficial partnership for Canadian and Guyanese medical residents and fosters international collaboration in medical education.

Abstract:

This paper delves into the multifaceted realm of change management in transitioning from fossil fuels to a sustainable energy mix, spotlighting Guyana's unique position. With a global trend towards renewable energy driven by environmental concerns, countries like Guyana, blessed with significant oil reserves, face opportunities and challenges. Drawing insights from case studies of Denmark, The Kingdom of Norway, and Pakistan, key challenges such as economic barriers, technical complexities, regulatory issues, and social implications were identified. Success stories like Denmark's wind energy dominance and Norway's hydro-centric approach provide valuable lessons. However, challenges faced by countries like Pakistan emphasize the necessity of strategic planning. For Guyana, a nation experiencing explosive GDP growth and on the cusp of an energy revolution, recommendations include establishing clear policy frameworks, engaging stakeholders, promoting technological innovation, and investing in public awareness. Guyana could ensure a balanced, sustainable energy future by integrating these strategies and possibly revisiting its Low Carbon Development Strategy 2030.

Abstract:

Abstract. The Guyana Forestry Commission’s (GFC) Monitoring, Reporting and Verification System (MRVS) is a combined Geographic Information System (GIS) and field-based monitoring system, which has underpinned the conducting of a historical assessment of forest cover as well as eight national assessments of forest area change to date. The System seeks to provide the basis for measuring verifiable changes in Guyana’s forest cover and resultant carbon emissions from Guyana’s forests, which will provide the basis for results-based REDD+ compensation in the long-term. With the continuous compilation, analysis and dissemination of MRVS results on a typically annual basis, the GFC envisioned a larger role for this data, in informing national processes such as natural resources policy and management. This resulted in a significant broadening of the application of the MRVS data and products for purposes that are aligned or complementary to national REDD+ objectives and forest policy and management. These broader applications have allowed for a beneficial shift towards the increased use of remote sensing data and scientific reporting to inform forest management, governance and decision making on natural resource management across forested land. This has resulted in a transformation in the nature of data available to inform decision making on forest management and governance, and overall environmental oversight, from predominantly social science data and factors to now incorporating remote sensing and scientific observations and reporting. Primary decision makers are turning to scientific based reporting to determine best approaches for developmental initiatives in Guyana. This study shows how Guyana has demonstrated significant progress in making remote sensing products accessible and useful to policy makers in Guyana.

Abstract:

This article follows the journey of Guyana’s Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) programme, from its promising emergence in 2009 as an ambitious, Norway-funded scheme worth US$250m to its near-abandonment by all actors ten years later. It is based on primary fieldwork conducted in Guyana in 2016 and 2017 and a deep review of the theoretical and empirical literature on REDD+ policy processes and the Norway–Guyana agreement. The article shows how, contrary to the mainstream understanding of environmental policy as a disinterested search for a rational, scientific solution, decisions governing REDD+ policy in Guyana were rather shaped throughout by the political objectives and calculations of a small number of opportunistic elite actors. It further shows how even the modest incarnation of REDD+ in Guyana (which ended up resembling more of a results-based aid programme than a Payment for Ecosystem Services scheme) was continually affected by political factors beyond the control of policy managers. These included fluctuations in the world gold price that led to an increase in mining activity and deforestation, the departure of a key international investor which caused the collapse of the flagship REDD+-funded Amaila Falls hydropower project, and legislative gridlock in Guyana generated by a hung Parliament. While not suggesting that REDD+ (or similar Payment for Ecosystem Services schemes) can never work, the article nonetheless illustrates the ways in which political objectives and unforeseen events can overwhelm substantive policy efforts towards fighting climate change. The findings also illustrate the dangers of prioritizing short-term ‘success stories’ over longer-term and more consultative environmental policy processes.

In this text, I re-elaborate the narratives and oral speech of some of the social subjects (Guyanese Negroes, Macushi Indigenous and Wapishana, regional Brazilians) about the Rupununi Uprising. The narratives and oral speech of the interviewees on the subject are partially constituted by the fieldwork that originated the Ethnography built as a doctorate thesis in the frontier Brazil-Guyana. The intention is to contextualize, by means of these narratives, the realms of memory that make up the political landscape of the 60s in these two countries, since the political event called Rupununi Uprising, characterized as one of the most polemic period in Guyana’s history. In Brazil, milestones of this decade were the military dictatorship and the leftist movements.In Guyana it is a moment of the process of independence and of secession fights.

Abstract:

In 2009 Guyana developed and tested their REDD+ Monitoring Reporting and Verification System (REDD+ MRVS) to satisfy a Memorandum of Understanding between Guyana and the Kingdom of Norway. Despite being a developing country, it has been one of the few countries to progress its MRVS substantially with comparatively similar results to independent auditing standards. While socio-political support has helped efforts to implement a national based monitoring system challenges of improving stakeholder coordination and collaboration can potentially undermine efforts to maintain a robust system. The effectiveness of the REDD+ MRVS was assessed to determine end users demands, and system output applications. We employed a qualitative methodological approach using the Borich needs assessment model. The results revealed that the overall structure of REDD+ MRVS was mostly likely to reduce the efficiency in reporting the outcomes of the MRVS and its value as a tool to aid in natural resources management. Stakeholders believe that Guyana's REDD+ MRVS has the potential to improve natural resource management in Guyana. However, to boost the system's credibility, monitoring, data exchange capabilities, and the timeliness of the assessment should be promptly addressed. Further, the role of Indigenous communities in real time monitoring remains a central idea to be explored.

Abstract:

Monitoring deforestation and forest degradation at national scale has been identified as a national priority under Guyana‟s REDD+ Programme. Based on Guyana‟s MRV (Monitoring Reporting and Verification) System Roadmap developed in 2009, Guyana sought to establish a comprehensive, national system to monitor, report and verify forest carbon emissions resulting from deforestation and forest degradation in Guyana. To date, four national annual assessments have been conducted: 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. <br><br> Monitoring of forest change in 2010 was completed with medium resolution imagery, mainly Landsat 5. In 2011, assessment was conducted using a combination of Landsat (5 and 7) and for the first time, 5m high resolution imagery, with RapidEye coverage for approximately half of Guyana where majority of land use changes were taking place. Forest change in 2013 was determined using high resolution imagery for the whole of Guyana. The current method is an automated-assisted process of careful systematic manual interpretation of satellite imagery to identify deforestation based on different drivers of change. The minimum mapping unit (MMU) for deforestation is 1 ha (Guyana‟s forest definition) and a country-specific definition of 0.25 ha for degradation. <br><br> The total forested area of Guyana is estimated as 18.39 million hectares (ha). In 2012 as planned, Guyana‟s forest area was reevaluated using RapidEye 5 m imagery. Deforestation in 2013 is estimated at 12 733 ha which equates to a total deforestation rate of 0.068%. Significant progress was made in 2012 and 2013, in mapping forest degradation. The area of forest degradation as measured by interpretation of 5 m RapidEye satellite imagery in 2013 was 4 352 ha. All results are subject to accuracy assessment and independent third party verification.

Abstract:

Over the past 20 years, the education system in Guyana has significantly improved. Despite this improvement, students with disabilities in Guyana still face higher rates of poverty, lack of access to schools, and a lack of teachers who are trained in how to best meet their needs. Guyana has tried to address these problems with the drafting of legislation and policies such as the Persons With Disabilities Act of 2010 and the SEN Inclusion Policy. While progress has been made, there is still a need for additional efforts related to the education of individuals with disabilities in Guyana before their full potential is realized. This column presents a brief historical background and summary of current practices related to the identification, educational placements, and provision of educational services and supports for students with disabilities in Guyana. Additional needs and future recommendations are also included.

Abstract:

Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) imposes an enormous and mounting burden on global public health systems, especially in developing countries such as Guyana. However, primary prevention of type 2 diabetes can be achieved through organized lifestyle intervention programs for weight loss, increased physical activity and dietary restrictions. Therefore, there is a need to develop local risk stratification tools tailored to the local population to identify high-risk individuals who may benefit from these interventions. Objectives: This study proposes implementing a program for the primary prevention of T2DM in high-risk adults (18 – 55 years) in Guyana. The main objective is to identify adults at high-risk for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus using a Diabetic Risk Score and to enroll the participants in a lifestyle intervention program. Methods: The health belief model is a theoretical framework that guides health promotion programs by predicting health behaviours. A health promotion campaign will target high-risk adults at local healthcare facilities and across Guyana through television, radio and social media adverts. The health promotion adverts will inform and educate the target population to complete the Guyana Diabetic Risk Score questionnaire. If the score on the Guyana Diabetic Risk Score questionnaire exceeds 50, the participants will be enrolled in a lifestyle intervention program, 'Healthy Me'. Results and Discussion: Minor changes in lifestyle, such as a healthy diet, increased physical activity, and healthy body weight, can reduce diabetes in high-risk adults by over 50%. Conclusions: The Guyana Diabetes Risk Score is a low-cost, non-invasive, practical tool to identify individuals at high risk for T2DM in Guyana. Keywords: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, T2DM, Guyana Diabetes Risk Score.

Abstract:

Focusses on the commemoration and symbolic functions of the slavery past in the Americas, with a particular focus on Guyana. Author explains that while symbolic representations of the legacies of slavery increased in the Americas since the 1960s, the nationalist government under Forbes Burnham since 1970 went further in using the slavery past as its ideological foundation. He discusses how this relates to Guyana's history and ethnic development of 2 main, often opposed groups of African- and Indian-descended groups, calling on their respective slavery or indenture past in emphasizing their national significance. He further describes slavery-related symbolic representations promoted under Burnham, specifically the 1763 slave revolt led by Cuffy, presented as first anticolonial rebellion aimed at liberation, and as a precursor to the PNC government, and other slave rebellions and rebels, such as led by Damon in 1834. He points out how some Indian-Guyanese found that Indian heroes were sidelined in relation to these. Author then describes how the annual commemoration of Emancipation Day continues to refer to the martyrdom of these slave rebels, along with other discursive connections, such as regarding reparations. He also pays attention to the activities of nongovernmental organizations in Guyana up to the present in commemorating the slavery past, often with broader African diaspora connections.

ABSTRACT: The Geological and Geodiversity Mapping binational program along the Brazil-Guyana border zone allowed reviewing and integrating the stratigraphy and nomenclature of the Roraima Supergroup along the Pakaraima Sedimentary Block present in northeastern Brazil and western Guyana. The area mapped corresponds to a buffer zone of approximately 25 km in width on both sides of the border, of a region extending along the Maú-Ireng River between Mount Roraima (the triple-border region) and Mutum Village in Brazil and Monkey Mountain in Guyana. The south border of the Roraima basin is overlain exclusively by effusive and volcaniclastic rocks of the Surumu Group of Brazil and its correlated equivalent the Burro-Burro Group of Guyana.

Abstract:

Abstract. In 2010 Guyana started work on the development of a national Monitoring Reporting and Verification System (MRVs) to quantify and measure the changes in the country’s forest cover carbon and carbon emissions. A necessary part of this process involved the identification of reliable Earth Observation data of sufficient resolution to detect and quantify land use change in Guyana's forests. Over the past 10 years the MRVs has evaluated and integrated many data streams used to; map national-scale forest change, support the analysis, and importantly datasets suitable to determine the accuracy of the change area mapped. Guyana’s approach has evolved over time, to accommodate new technologies, but at its core the MRVs recognises the importance of local management, existing datasets and linking these elements to appropriate EO data such as Landsat, RapidEye, Sentinel, Planet Scope and very high spatial resolution aerial imagery. From the outset the MRVs development was divided into phases. This approach recognises that not all MRVs reporting functions can be satisfied immediately. For Phase 1 (Years 2010 to 2014) of the MRVS, historical change analysis was conducted using Landsat 30 m resolution imagery. Being a persistently cloudy country alternative EO data sources were included, with Landsat and DMC imagery largely superseded by 5 m resolution RapidEye imagery. After five years of monitoring the forest change baselines, methods, reporting processes and standard operating procedures had been well established and able to provide the required performance-based indicators. The focus of MRVs phase 2 (Years 2015 to 2019) was to retain the reporting standards already achieved while also streamlining processes, improving functionality and reducing operational costs (i.e. the reliance on commercial image data) post-2019. Process improvements and operational research targeted two areas; the feasibility of using freely available Landsat and 10 metre resolution Sentinel data to map countrywide deforestation, and development of a sample-based approach to estimate degradation from aerial imagery and Planet Scope (3–5 metres resolution). Guyana’s move to integrate multiple data streams has been driven by the need for higher temporal resolution, repeated monitoring, and the creation of a data agnostic system to supports multiple decision-making processes on forest management. While the originally the MRVs was intended to support REDD+ reporting, the flexibility of the system design has meant it is proving to be invaluable tool for natural resources management in Guyana.
