Customary Land Tenure in the LADM

Incorporating customary land tenure relations into Land Information Systems (LISs) presents knowledge modelling challenges arising from the complex and dynamic nature of customs. We present a case study using descriptions from Bronislaw Malinowski’s Coral Gardens and their Magic (1935) to illustrate how some complex land tenure concepts can be ...

‘Sometimes, I would look at my books and cry because I felt like I was left behind’: Understanding the learning of Indigenous girls during the COVID‐19 pandemic in the districts of Chongwe and Solwezi in Zambia

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Grounded in principles of epistemic justice, this article examines the educational impacts of Zambia's COVID‐19 school closures on Indigenous girls in two districts and highlights community‐led pathways for resilience. National responses prioritised broadcast and digital delivery but presupposed access to electricity, digital devices and ...

University strategy in transnational higher education: The strategic approaches of newly established and ‘small’ international branch campuses

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Newly established international branch campuses (IBCs) commence operations without a student body, and even after several years, many institutions fail to grow beyond 500 students. Despite having unique strategic needs, small IBCs are largely overlooked in the higher education literature.

Biographies, ontological security and the socio‐spatial politics shaping teachers' mobility in remote Australia

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The global teacher shortage continues to intensify, with disparate impacts across geographic and socio‐economic communities. In Queensland, Australia, where this study originates, post‐COVID teacher shortages have intensified workforce pressures, leaving several regional, rural and remote schools as some of the ‘hardest‐to‐staff’ in the ...

Mid‐Domain Effect and Wooded Habitat Shape Mediterranean Reptile Communities

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
Analyzing a large number of reptiles observed across protected areas in Central Italy, we tested whether the mid‐domain effect explains hump‐shaped richness–elevation patterns. Species richness was best predicted by the combined influence of geometric constraints and woodland cover, revealing two contrasting species clusters and offering a robust ...

ABSTRACT Technological advances, including remote sensing, have led to a proliferation of metrics used in ecological studies to examine spatial patterns of fire regimes and their ecological effects. Researchers can use many different metrics to analyse spatial variation in both fire events and resulting fire regimes, including fire size, shape ...
