Abstract:
Collaborative research is an opportunity to bring creative minds together and blend multiple disciplines to churn out innovative solutions. In this era of massive social media and information overload, a streamlined process framework with best practices and procedures is a requirement for genuine scientific collaboration. The main aim of this work is to bring forth a software-centric framework for harmonizing research. SACRED is the outcome of experiences gained during the development of ‘ARMS'-An Analysis Framework for Mixed Criticality Systems. ARMS is a collaborative platform to disseminate

This study explores the Lom Tribe’s indigenous knowledge in disaster mitigation, emphasizing their early warning systems, sustainable land management, adaptive architecture, and spiritual beliefs. The findings reveal that the Lom Tribe relies on environmental cues such as bird migration, wind patterns, and water levels to predict natural disasters, while their sacred forest conservation and rotational farming techniques help prevent ecological degradation. Additionally, their stilt house architecture reduces flood risks, and spiritual rituals reinforce environmental responsibility and communit

Abstract This paper analyzes the conditions under which the sharing of sacred sites in Turkey is still possible despite the serious Sunnification campaign of the akp regime. I argue that ideological, cultural, and pragmatic motivations led the Turkish state to refrain from interfering in practices the ruling party deems sacrilegious and distasteful.

Abstract:
The goal of this investigation was to identify the customary practices on sacred groves and how they can help in achieving sustainable forest management in Ghana. The study examines forest management, deforestation, and sustainable forest management concepts. A case study of Boabeng Fiema Monkey Sanctuary and Malshegu Sacred Groves was explored. Interviews with community members were executed. Also, some secondary data on these two sacred groves were equally examined. The study found that taboos and other cultural beliefs were used to protect the sacred grooves with little government support.

Sacred symbols are seen as the representation of culture and beliefs of people which describe how they interact with their environment and spiritual being. Some of these symbols represent luck, some represent spiritualities, some represents powers, and some are just an emblem. The topic I shall discuss in this essay are: when and how do sacred symbols become part of a culture; why do the meaning of sacred symbols misperceive over time; how archaeology interprets sacred symbols; and how astrology and sacred geometry contribute to the sacred symbol interpretations?

In the Catholic areas of Europe, the human remains (both their bones and the fabrics they touched) of persons considered to have been exceptional are usually stored for transformation into relics.

In this article I intend to present in detail, from an anthropological standpoint, the practices used to process such remains, the role of the social actors involved and the political-ecclesiastical dynamics connected with them.

The visual construction of India's 'spiritual landscapes' has been largely deployed as a powerful tool for subduing the unfamiliar Other within reassuring epistemological categories.

Serious academic considerations of magic, beyond its merely social, cultural or psychopathological contexts are few. As one of them, this thesis claims that a coherent function of Dion Fortune’s The Cosmic Doctrine, according to demonstrable textual intention, is as a participative magical process. Fortune’s text consists, primarily, of an extended, incomprehensible metaphor: the movement of infinite space. It claims to be designed to train the mind of the reader rather than inform it.
