Abstract:

Mavea is spoken on the eponymous island, Mavea, a satellite island off the east coast of Espiritu Santo Island, northern Vanuatu. The language is highly endangered. There are about 34 fluent speakers on Mavea Island (aged 30 and older), out of a total island population of around 210. There are at least another 30 Mavea speakers who have left the island permanently. These speakers now live throughout Vanuatu, mainly on Espiritu Santo Island (in the villages of Deproma and Matevulu), Aore Island, and in Port Vila, the capital city of Vanuatu. All Mavea speakers are bilingual in Bislama, one of the official languages of Vanuatu.

Abstract:

Rainwater harvesting for drinking purpose has been a great source for survival by many societies since ages and now scarcity in water resources has been forcing many others to follow. Even though, rainwater harvesting is an exploitative practice where there is abundance of rainfall, but the methods in which harvesting process are carried needs to be studied in detail. The present study was a systematic physiochemical analysis of harvested rainwater for drinking purpose in Port Vila, Vanuatu where 22 sites were studied for two consecutive seasons. Notable mean variations were observed in total dissolved solids (TDS) with 63.84 mg/L, pH 0.4 and electrical conductivity (EC) with 98.9 µS/Cm. The mean standard deviation of 3.6 mg/L in acidity of pre and post monsoon seasons was also been a noted concern. Timing, extent of rainfall along with the usage had shown variations in the constituent’s concentrations. The study revealed that the standards for the harvested drinking water are compromised at some sites either in one or multiple physiochemical parameters. People in Port Vila continue to consume the harvested water due to cultural practices and beliefs related to rainwater. It was observed that proper management and adaptation to new technologies would yield better quality of the harvested water.

Abstract:

Tamambo is an Oceanic language spoken on the western half of the island of Malo in northern Vanuatu. There are at least 3000 speakers of the language, most of them living on Malo, with several hundred residing on the neighboring island of Santo and in the country's capital, Port Vila. Many speakers are also fluent in Bislama (an English-lexifier creole spoken in Vanuatu), one of three official languages. A dialect of Tamambo spoken on the eastern half of the island is now almost extinct, the main phonetic differences from the western dialect being the lack of prenasalized stops and labialized consonants, and the short articulation of vowels. Previous phonetic work on Tamambo is limited to a descriptive grammar of the language (Jauncey 1997).

Abstract:

There has been much recent debate about women's rights and their relation to human rights. Debates about domestic violence in Vanuatu are situated in this global frame but also in a regional and historical context dominated by the relation between kastom (tradition) and Christianity. This article depicts the dynamics of a conference on Violence and the Family in Vanuatu held in Port Vila in 1994, in terms of the competing claims of universal human rights and cultural relativism. The allegedly western character of human rights which focus on the individual and civil and political rights is often contrasted with the non-western stress on collectivities and the rights to economic development and self-determination. These sorts of ideological oppositions in international politics reverberate in domestic politics as well, and especially in those which situate women and men as subjects in conflict, as they are in many domestic disputes.

Abstract:

International borders to Vanuatu closed on 23 March 2020 due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. In May–July 2020, the Government of Vanuatu focused on the safe and timely return of citizens and residents while ensuring Vanuatu remained COVID-19 free. Under Phase 1 of repatriation, between 27 May and 23 June 2020, 1522 people arrived in the capital, Port Vila, and were placed in compulsory government-mandated 14-day quarantine in 15 hotels. Pre-arrival health operations included collection of repatriate information, quarantine facility assessments, training for personnel supporting the process, and tabletop and functional exercises with live scenario simulations. During quarantine, health monitoring, mental health assessments and psychosocial support were provided. All repatriates completed 14 days of quarantine. One person developed symptoms consistent with COVID-19 during quarantine but tested negative. Overall health operations were considered a success despite logistical and resource challenges. Lessons learnt were documented during a health sector after-action review held on 22 July 2020. Key recommendations for improvement were to obtain timely receipt of repatriate information before travel, limit the number of repatriates received and avoid the mixing of “travel cohorts”, ensure sufficient human resources are available to support operations while maintaining other essential services, establish a command and control structure for health operations, develop training packages and deliver them to all personnel supporting operations, and coordinate better with other sectors to ensure health aspects are considered. These recommendations were applied to further improve health operations for subsequent repatriation and quarantine, with Phase 2 commencing on 1 August 2020.

Abstract:

La construction de l’État-nation reste un défi majeur pour la Mélanésie. Dès la décolonisation des années 1970 et 1980, les nouvelles nations mélanésiennes ont éprouvé beaucoup de difficulté à se créer une identité nationale solide et une communauté politique unie, tout en maintenant leurs langues vernaculaires et leurs cultures traditionnelles. Le Vanuatu pour sa part a eu pour tâche de se construire une identité nationale en dépit d’un double héritage colonial franco-anglais. Cet article présente un sondage que nous avons organisé dans plusieurs centres d’enseignement supérieur à Port-Vila en 2010, dont l’Université du Pacifique Sud et l’Agence universitaire pour la francophonie, sur les attitudes des étudiants de ces institutions à l’égard de l’identité nationale. Notre enquête révèle, entre autres, qu’il existe des points communs et des similitudes sur le développement du sentiment national entre les étudiants francophones et anglophones de l’enseignement supérieur au Vanuatu. La convergence porte notamment sur des points clés tels les indicateurs de la fierté nationale, le maintien des traditions et de la kastom (coutume), la conception de la citoyenneté et le respect des institutions et de l’État de droit. Nos données indiquent aussi que, malgré un relâchement des liens postcoloniaux associant les deux langues d’enseignement à des affiliations religieuses et politiques divergentes, la langue d’enseignement reste un vecteur important pour les étudiants quant à leur attitude envers l’identité nationale et ses éléments prioritaires. Nos conclusions offrent un nouvel éclairage sur la vision qui pourrait animer les élites politiques et professionnelles futures du Vanuatu dans leur dépassement des fractures régionales, ethniques, intergénérationnelles et linguistiques qui ont jadis touché le pays.

Abstract:

Background:The Pacific region has experienced rapid urbanization and lifestyle changes, which lead to high rates of noncommunicable disease (NCD) prevalence. There is no information on barriers and facilitators for healthy lifestyles in this region. In response, we present the first stage of a rigorous development of an urban Pacific health intervention program. This paper describes formative work conducted in Port Vila, Vanuatu. The objective of this paper was to understand cultural barriers and facilitators in Pacific women to lifestyle change and use the findings to inform future health interventions.Methods:Semistructured focus groups with 37 female civil servants divided into 6 groups were held verbally to understand barriers and facilitators for healthy lifestyles.Results:Several perceived barriers and facilitators were identified. Inter alia, barriers include financial limitations, time issues, family commitments, environmental aspects, and motivational hindrances that limit time and opportunities for healthy lifestyle behavior. Facilitators include more supportive environments, social support mechanisms, and the implementation of rigorous health policies.Conclusions:Formative work is essential in designing health intervention programs. Uncovered barriers and facilitators help inform the development of culturally relevant health interventions.

Abstract:

Since the year 2000, Port-Vila, the capital of Vanuatu, has experienced considerable development in digital technologies. This has strongly influenced young people’s musical behaviour.The mobile phone market expanded rapidly with the arrival of the Digicel company, launched in June 2008. Statistics show that in 2009, more than 50 percent of the population had access to mobile telephony. The possibilities for digital storage have made the mobile phone an indispensable tool for young musicians.In August 2012 the country joined WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization). However, IP (intellectual property) law cannot be practically implemented, because no formal organization to enforce IP has been established by the Vanuatu Government. Musical exchanges are engrained in the archipelago’s traditional culture and, alongside the old circulation systems of musical knowledge, the Internet and mobile phones have created new networks for the circulation of musical culture.While copyright can be seen as important for the development of the local music industry, its implementation faces challenges, given that the circulation of local music occurs largely outside of the formal market system.
