Sinopsis

Indigenous Tech Innovations explores the intersection of traditional knowledge and modern technology, showcasing how Indigenous communities are developing innovative solutions tailored to their cultural and environmental needs. The book highlights that Indigenous-led technology isn't just about adapting existing tools; it's about creating new ones rooted in Indigenous values, such as sustainable resource management. 

 
For example, some communities are integrating traditional ecological knowledge with drone technology for environmental monitoring, offering a blend of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge tech. The book emphasizes technology sovereignty, examining how Indigenous peoples are using tech to preserve languages, promote arts, and drive economic self-determination. 

 
It challenges the conventional view of technology as a purely Western construct, offering case studies in agriculture, healthcare, and renewable energy. The book progresses by first introducing key concepts, then moves into specific examples of Indigenous-led initiatives, and concludes with a discussion of ethical considerations and future directions. 

 
The book's value lies in its focus on Indigenous self-determination, advocating for technology co-creation that respects Indigenous priorities. By integrating academic research with Indigenous voices gathered through participatory methods, Indigenous Tech Innovations provides a holistic view of how technology can empower communities while preserving cultural heritage.

Risk Management and ISO 31000 -...

Alan Field

Risk management is a primary concern for any organisation. Its significance has only increased since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Organisations need to prepare for all types of threats, both probable (a server breaking down) and improbable (the office being flooded), to ensure that their operations can survive and adapt to continue with BAU (business as usual) in the face of a disaster.
Yet risk management isn't solely about preventing negative outcomes, it is also about an organisation taking a known risk to uncover new opportunities to improve the organisation. For example, the transition of employees to remote working could risk an organisation's security as an employee could connect their laptop to an unsecure Wi-Fi connection. However, as demonstrated in the pandemic, remote working helped protect employees as the risk of infecting one another with COVID-19 was reduced.
Read this pocket guide to understand how:

- Risk-based management can prepare your organisation for future threats and therefore help the success of a BCP (business continuity plan);
- To identify whether the opportunities gained from a 'risky' decision can outweigh the perceived threat;
- The principles of ISO 31000 can help your organisation develop a framework for its approach to risk management;
- The guidelines of ISO 31000 can be interwoven with controls in other standards such as ISO 27001 and ISO 9001; and
- The organisation must continually review its approach to risk management to stay prepared for the latest threats.

Weather Science - How...

Brian Clegg

Everyone has an interest in the weather, whether it's to check the prospects for a day out or to know when best to harvest a crop. The Earth's weather systems also provide some of the most dramatic forces of nature, from the vast release of energy in a lightning flash to the devastating impact of tornadoes and hurricanes. 
 
For centuries, our only real guide to future weather was folklore, but with the introduction of the first weather forecasts and maps in Victorian times, attempts were made to give some warning of the weather to come. Until relatively recently, these forecasts could be wildly inaccurate - think of Michael Fish's denial that there was a storm on the way the night before the UK's great storm of 1987. This was due to the mathematically chaotic nature of weather systems, first discovered in the 1960s, the understanding of which would transform forecasting from the 1990s and mean that meteorologists became some of the foremost users of supercomputers. 
 
From the crystalline perfection of the snowflake to the transfer of energy from the Sun, science lies at the heart of the weather and our understanding of it. In recent years, weather science has moved to the leading edge with advanced modelling, versatile use of satellite data and a better understanding of mathematical chaos. This is a true example of hot science at work.

Cardiology - Heart Diseases and...

Ava Westwood

Cardiology is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of heart-related conditions. As one of the most vital specialties in modern medicine, it plays a crucial role in improving life expectancy and quality of life for patients with heart diseases. The heart is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body, delivering oxygen and nutrients essential for survival. Therefore, any disruption in its function can have far-reaching consequences for an individual's health. 
The field of cardiology has a rich history, evolving significantly over the centuries. Early understanding of the heart was rudimentary, with ancient civilizations attributing its function to the soul or emotions. It was not until the 17th century, with the groundbreaking work of William Harvey, that the concept of blood circulation was fully understood. Over time, advancements in medical technology and scientific knowledge have led to a more detailed understanding of the heart's anatomy, function, and the diseases that affect it. 
Today, cardiology is a highly specialized field that requires expertise in various sub-disciplines, including interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, heart failure management, and pediatric cardiology. The role of a cardiologist extends beyond diagnosis and treatment to include preventative care, patient education, and collaboration with other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care. Cardiologists use a combination of clinical evaluations, diagnostic tests, and imaging techniques to identify and treat heart diseases such as coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, heart failure, and valvular heart diseases.
