The studied yard is on the outskirts of the city (Residential Paradise) and has a priest responsible for preparing medicines for various diseases, especially for STDs (sexually transmitted diseases). However, the priest's work is not limited to the preparation of medicines, this is militant health movements for the yards of communities such as the National Network of Afro-Brazilian Health Matrix Religions (RENAFRO). The aim of this study was to investigate these practices taking into account traditional knowledge confronting them with the official medical knowledge. We used the method of qualitative research with a socio-anthropological approach from observations and interviews the yard studied the holy father and discourse analysis of this. As a result it was found that the priest seeks to dialogue with official medicine through training programs with managers of the public health system as the HIV / AIDS program, but believes it is essential to respect for their knowledge and is respected medical knowledge . Thus, it is important to recognize the importance of traditional knowledge and that it can be given autonomy in the choice of treatment for each individual without, however, gives discredit the official Western medical nature. / O trabalho em questão enfoca as práticas de saúdes realizadas em um terreiro de Tambor de Mina da cidade de São Luís-MA. O terreiro estudado está situado na periferia da cidade (Residencial Paraíso) e possui um pai de santo responsável por preparar remédios para diversas doenças, principalmente para as DSTs (doenças sexualmente transmissíveis). Porém, o trabalho do pai de santo não se limita à preparação de remédios, este é militante de movimentos de saúde em prol das comunidades de terreiros como a Rede Nacional em Saúde de Religiões de Matriz Afro-brasileiras (RENAFRO). O principal objetivo deste estudo foi fazer uma investigação destas práticas levando em consideração os conhecimentos tradicionais confrontando-os com os conhecimentos médicos oficiais. Utilizou-se o método da pesquisa qualitativa em saúde com um enfoque sócio- antropológico a partir de observações ao terreiro estudado e entrevistas ao pai de santo bem como a análise do discurso deste. Como resultado encontrou-se que o sacerdote busca dialogar com a medicina oficial através capacitações com gestores em programas do sistema de saúde pública como o Programa de HIV/AIDS, mas acredita que é imprescindível o respeito aos seus conhecimentos bem como se respeita o conhecimento médico. Desta forma, é importante reconhecer a relevância dos conhecimentos tradicionais e que se possa dá autonomia na escolha de tratamento para cada indivíduo sem, contudo, dá descredito a medicina oficial de cunho ocidental.

Define-se o conhecimento tradicional como um saber-fazer a respeito do mundo que rodeia as populações envolvidas e é transmitido oralmente através das gerações. Os seringueiros da Amazônia são extrativistas e agricultores, que produzem em regime familiar. Nas reservas extrativistas, desenvolvem suas atividades e conhecem os detalhes e particularidades do ambiente. Conhecer a relação que estas comunidades possuem com o meio e o modo como conduzem suas práticas é de suma importância para a manutenção de Unidades de Conservação. Além disto, o modo de vida dos seringueiros favorece a hipótese de que existam conflitos entre estas populações e os animais que vivem no entorno de suas moradias. O presente estudo foi realizado nas Reservas Extrativistas Federal e Estadual do Rio Cautário, em Rondônia, e utilizou como ferramenta entrevistas guiadas por questionários previamente elaborados. Foi dividido em dois capítulos temáticos. O primeiro traçou um perfil sócio-econômico dos moradores e investigou a percepção ambiental dos mesmos em relação às reservas. O segundo abordou potenciais conflitos homem-animal e suas implicações para conservação de espécies ameaçadas. Foi visto que há conflitos consideráveis entre estas populações e animais silvestres e que, dentre medidas tomadas em retaliação a estes eventos, matam-se muitos animais. Dos animais citados, 23,3% encontra-se em categorias de ameaça da IUCN. O conhecimento de que tais relações existem é de suma importância para que medidas sejam tomadas pelos órgãos competentes pelas reservas do estudo. Instruções sobre manejo das criações, roças, educação ambiental e acompanhamento da situação foram apontadas como de relevado potencial para mitigar tais eventos. / Ethnoecological researches are based on the view that nature conservancy is directly linked to biological, cultural, economical and social issues. In this sense, traditional knowledge can be defined as knowledge and know-how concerning natural and supernatural world, orally passed down from generation to generation. Rubber tappers in the Amazon are gatherers and agriculturists, who produce under family, selling the surplus for additional income. They live in wooden houses built on stilts, most adapted to the system of flood. In the extractive reserves rubber tapper develops their own activities and knows the details and peculiarities of the environment. Knowing the relationship that these communities have with the environment and the way they conduct their practices, besides presenting the situation in which they live, is of paramount importance for the conservation of protected areas. Knowing their needs and how to improve their conditions may reflect upon the maintenance of environmental integrity as well. Moreover, the livelihood of rubber tappers and the fact that they have livestock, small gardens and simple houses favor the hypothesis that conflicts exist between those populations and animals that live around their homes. This study was conducted at Federal and State Extractive Reserves of Cautário River, in Rondônia. It has been divided into two chapters. The first depicts a socio-economic profile of residents and investigates the environmental perception of ourselves in relation to reserves. The second deals with potential human-animal conflict and its implications for the conservancy of endangered species. It was seen that there is a considerable number of conflicts between these populations and wildlife, and that among the measures being taken in retaliation to these events, they kill many animals. Out of the animals mentioned, 23.3% are in the IUCN categories of threat. Knowing that such relationships exist is of paramount importance in order that measures are taken by the competent agents in the reserves of the study. Instructions on the handling of livestock, gardens, environmental education and monitoring the situation were highlighted as notably potential to mitigate such events.

No decorrer das últimas décadas, muitos grupos indígenas vêm progressivamente intensificando e ampliando a gama de relações com os mais variados setores da sociedade nacional. Nesse contexto, assumem a tarefa de elaborar discursos em que devem se apresentar, enquanto grupos diferenciados, para o \"outro\'\'. Na construção desse diálogo, as experiências de escolarização, especialmente na sua vertende \"diferenciada\", constituem um rico espectro de produção discursiva que esta dissertação pretende enfocar. É, de fato, no âmbito dessas experiências de ensino formal, que muitos grupos indígenas estão refletindo e recriando através da escrita em línguas indígenas e em língua portuguesa suas formas de produzir e transmitir experiências históricas. Tendo como enfoque o processo de escolarização e letramento em andamento em vários contextos indígenas no país, a presente dissertação tem como objetivo analisar dez materiais didáticos cuja proposta é a escrita de narrativas sobre reflexões e experiências históricas e sobre conhecimentos entendidos como \"tradicionais\" elaboradas no ambito de cinco experiências de escolarização (Acre, Amazonas, Espírito Santo Xingu, Mato Grosso e Minas Gerais). Busca-se averiguar através da análise dos materiais didáticos, como professores e lideranças indígenas vinculados a essas cinco experiências estão utilizando a linguagem escrita para construir representações de si mesmos, nas quais procuram articular seus saberes tradicionais e as concepções ocidentais de conhecimento e transmissão de experiências históricas. / During the last decades, many indigenous groups have progressively intensified and increased the span of relations with various sectors of national society. In this context, they have assumed the task of elaborating discourses in which they present themselves to the other as differentiated groups. In constructing this dialogue, experiences in schooling, specially of the differentiated kind, constitute a rich spectrum of discursive production, which this thesis seeks to focus upon. In fact, it is within these experiences of formal education that many indigenous groups are reflecting and recreating through the use of writing in the native and Portuguese languages their forms of producing and transmitting historical experiences. Focusing on the process of schooling and literacy in progress in various indigenous contexts throughout the country, this thesis seeks to analyze ten examples of educational material, produced in five different school programs (Acre, Amazonas, Espírito Santo, Xingu, Mato Grosso and Minas Gerais), that have as an objective the written production of narratives concerning historical experiences and reflections and that which is understood to be traditional knowledge. The objective of this research is to understand, by means of the analysis of this educational material, how indigenous leaders and teachers connected to these five school programs are using the written language to produce representations of themselves, in which they seek to articulate their traditional knowledge and occidental conceptions of knowledge and transmission of historical experiences.

Para isso, apresentamos a cosmologia dos Kaingang, bem como, o contexto atual em que vivem os kujà/curandores desse povo. Além disso, mostramos a trajetória de três estudantes indígenas, através da noção de etnobiografia, que passam por processos de formação tanto na Graduação (Medicina e Enfermagem) como na Pós-Graduação em Educação Ambiental nessa Universidade. Pretende-se compreender como os saberes são constituídos tantos nas terras indígenas como nos espaços institucionais, além de contribuir para que a passagem da transmissão de saber da oralidade para a escrita seja atravessada pela interculturalidade. / This dissertation aims to understand the relation between traditional and scientific knowledge, from the entrance of indigenous students at the Federal University of Rio Grande (FURG), especially in the area of Health and Environment. For this, we present the cosmology of Kaingang, as well as the current context in which the Kujà/healers from this people live. Furthermore, we show the trajectory of three indigenous students through the notion of etnobiography. They go through graduation processes in both courses (medical and nursing) as well as a Graduate Diploma in Environmental Education from this University. This work aims to understand the way knowledges are constituted in many indigenous lands as well as in institutional spaces, and contributing so that the passage of transmitting knowledge from speaking to writing surpasses the interculturalism.

To seize and make use of knowledge in organizations is important for their competitiveness, amongst other things. To do this is, however, not entirely straightforward and therefore the use of so called knowledge management systems is common. There are different kinds of systems for managing knowledge, for example systems that are known as traditional knowledge management systems. However, a number of difficulties and problems with the traditional knowledge management systems has led to the usage of other systems, for example wikis, for knowledge management. We have, in this thesis, studied the role of a wiki as a knowledge management system in a distributed software development team. We have also studied how a wiki can relate to a traditional knowledge management system. A case study was conducted and five software developers were interviewed. The study showed that the usage of wikis can be versatile and that there are both similarities and differences to traditional knowledge management systems, both regarding the use and the content. The study also showed that wikis and traditional knowledge management systems can be used combined. The conclusions of the study shows that both wikis and traditional knowledge management systems can support and facilitate the management and dispersion of knowledge in organizations. / Att kunna ta vara på kunskap som finns inom organisationer och omsätta denna är viktigt bland annat för organisationers konkurrenskraft. Att göra detta är dock inte helt enkelt och därför tar man ofta hjälp av så kallade kunskapshanteringssystem. Det finns olika typer av system för att hantera kunskap, exempelvis de som benämns som traditionella kunskapshanteringssystem. Ett antal svårigheter och problem med dessa system har lett till att man börjat använda andra system för kunskaphantering, exempelvis wikis. I denna uppsats har vi undersökt en wikis roll som kunskapshanteringssystem inom ett distribuerat mjukvaruutvecklingsteam. Vi har även undersökt hur wikis förhåller sig till traditionella kunskapshanteringssystem. För att undersöka detta genomfördes en fallstudie där fem mjukvaruutvecklare intervjuades. Studien visade att användningen av wikis kan vara mångsidig och att det finns både likheter och skillnader med traditionella kunskapshanteringssystem, både gällande användningen och dess innehåll. Det visade sig också att wikis och traditionella kunskapshanteringssystem kan användas samverkande. Slutsatserna visar att både wikis och traditionella kunskapshanteringssystem kan vara ett stöd och underlätta hanteringen och spridningen av kunskap i organisationer.

Magister Legum - LLM / This research work addresses the problem being faced by developing countries in the commercial exploitation of their traditional cultural expressions (TCEs) by third parties without giving due attribution to nor sharing benefits with the communities from which these TCEs originate. This problem stems from the inability of customary law systems which regulates life in such communities to adequately cater for the protection of these TCEs. The legal systems of the developing countries have also proven to be ineffective in the protection of TCEs from such misappropriation and unauthorized commercial exploitation. This mini-thesis examines how TCEs have been protected domestically through national legislation and internationally through treaties and proposes means by which they can be protected in a manner that would preserve them, while promoting the dissemination of those which can be shared without destroying their inherent nature. This mini-thesis thus explores avenues through which the protection of TCEs would contribute to economic and human development in developing countries. / South Africa

Magister Legum - LLM / There is a growing interplay of competing realities facing the international community in the general areas of innovation, technological advancement and overall economic development. The highly industrialised wealthy nations, largely located on the Northern hemisphere are on the one hand undoubtedly at the forefront in global research, technology and infrastructure development. The developing and least developed countries on the other hand are mostly situated on the Southern hemisphere. They are not as wealthy or technologically advanced as their Northern counterparts, but are naturally endowed with unique variations of plant, animal and micro-organism species occurring in natural ecosystems, as well as the traditional knowledge on how to use these unique species. This knowledge has been adjudged to be responsible for the sustainable maintenance of the earth biodiversity. Increasing exploitation of biodiversity spurred on by the competing realities identified above, has left the earth in a present state of alarm with respect to the uncontrolled loss of biodiversity. The traditional knowledge of local peoples has significantly offered leads to research institutes from the North in developing major advancements in drugs, cosmetics and agriculture. Little or no compensation has however been seen to go back to the indigenous communities and countries that provide resources, and indicate various possibilities through their traditional knowledge to the use of such resources. Efforts by some biodiversity rich countries to ddress this trend through legislation developed in accordance with the principles of the Convention on Biological Diversity have been frustrated due to the inability to enforce their domestic laws outside their borders. Theft of genetic resources and its associated traditional knowledge from such countries has therefore remained a major challenge. Against this backdrop, and on the insistence of biodiversity-rich developing countries, an international regime on access and benefit sharing was negotiated and its final text adopted in 2010. This international regime is as contained in the Nagoya Protocol. This research sets out to examine whether the Nagoya Protocol offers a final solution to the protection of traditional knowledge associated with biodiversity in biodiverse countries. It further examines the importance of domestic legislation in achieving the objectives of the Protocol. The research has been tailored to African biodiverse countries, and seeks these answers within the context of Africa. / South Africa

Au début du XXIe siècle, l'usage de la locution «expression culturelle traditionnelle» s'est répandu à travers plusieurs forums internationaux. Bien que les expressions culturelles traditionnelles n'aient jamais été définies en droit international, deux instruments issus du système des Nations Unies, la Convention sur la protection et la promotion de la diversité des expressions culturelles et la Déclaration des Nations Unies sur les droits des peuples autochtones, les citent expressément. Cette thèse présente, en premier lieu, l'apparition et l'évolution en droit international de cette nouvelle notion. Elle propose ensuite de dégager les caractères des expressions culturelles traditionnelles pour comprendre ce qu'elles recouvrent. Cette étape permet de distinguer les expressions culturelles traditionnelles de notions voisines, comme celle de «savoirs traditionnels» ou encore comme celle de «patrimoine culturel immatériel», ce qui aboutit à s'interroger sur les enjeux juridiques qui leur sont liés et à aborder les questions soulevées par leur sauvegarde. Parmi ces questions, la plus prééminente consiste à s'interroger sur la forme juridique que devrait prendre le lien entre une expression culturelle traditionnelle et la communauté qui l'a créée et préservée. Dans cette perspective, deux approches émergent. La première considère les expressions culturelles traditionnelles comme un facteur de développement économique, tandis que la deuxième les envisage comme un outil de préservation des identités culturelles. La confrontation de ces deux approches montre le rôle relativement limitée des expressions culturelles traditionnelles en matière de développement économique. / At the beginning of the 21st century, the use of the term "traditional cultural expression" spread among several international forums. Although they have never been legally defined, traditional cultural expressions are mentioned by two instruments originating within the United Nations system: the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions (2005) and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007). This thesis presents how this notion emerged and evolved in international law. It also identifies the characteristics of this new legal concept to understand its meaning. This step allows to differentiate traditional cultural expressions from neighboring notions, such as "traditional knowledge" and "intangible cultural heritage." This leads to the study of legal issues relating to traditional cultural expressions and their safeguarding. Among these issues, the most paramount question is to ascertain the legal form that should be given to the link that binds a traditional cultural expression to the community that created and preserved it. In this view, two approaches appear. The first one considers traditional cultural expressions as a factor of economic development, whereas the second one contemplates them as a tool for the preservation of cultural identities. Confrontation of these two approaches demonstrate the limited role of traditional cultural expressions in the field of economic development.

In the Forest Sámi community (Skogssameby) of Gällivare in northeastern Sweden, reindeer husbandry is in peril as commercial interests degrade viable reindeer habitat. Among clear-cut forest and young plantations, between highways and railroad tracks, reindeer seek dwindling food. Pressed into smaller and smaller patches of land, they become easier targets for large predators and run out of food more rapidly, forcing greater intervention by herders to ensure the survival of the reindeer. Two large wind power development projects, which, if built, will dominate the landscape, could catalyze a collapse in reindeer husbandry in Gällivare Sameby (Sámi community) from which reindeer herders and the reindeer population may struggle to recover. This loss would be catastrophic from human rights, ecological, and sustainability perspectives. Reindeer husbandry is a key cultural activity for the Sámi people, Europe’s only recognized Indigenous group; reindeer are also native to Sweden, and even a localized collapse in the population could have far-reaching ramifications for the local ecosystem; and reindeer are a critical source of sustainable food in the harsh arctic and sub-arctic climate of Sápmi. This case study is concerned with the pressures and encroachments on reindeer husbandry that have been observed by Henrik Andersson, a reindeer herder, activist, and board member of Gällivare Forest Sámi community. Through four weeks of fieldwork, including participatory observation and semi-structured interviews, I determined the issues that Henrik considered most pressing and attempted to gain a holistic understanding of the socio-ecological system. In this paper, I have examined the main challenges to the viability of reindeer husbandry in Gällivare Skogssameby and their relationship to one another and discussed the extent to which these challenges are caused and exacerbated by ongoing colonization of Swedish Sápmi and based in Sweden’s colonial history in the region. / Dálkke
