Adat Iban: a living traditional wisdom?

Edward, Ronnie 22 December 2020 (has links)
Adat Iban are Indigenous law of the Iban people of Sarawak, Malaysia. This dissertation explores the wisdom of Adat Iban and examines whether the Adat and the underlying wisdom are living Adat. Currently, the interpretation, application, and enforcement of the Adat are basically following the Iban ancestors’ practices and complying with spiritual obligations. This practice provides very little legal reasoning which obscures the rationales and wisdom of Adat. Under such situation, the flux of socio-economic and political developments and social changes that have been taking place in the Iban communities impinges the relevance and significance of Adat in the regulation of social relations of the communities. This study presents a reinterpretation and/or re-evaluation of Adat Iban to elucidate the rationales and wisdom of Adat Iban. This approach could provide legal reasonings which could rejuvenate the relevance of Adat and make Adat to become more comprehensible law of general application to the changing Iban communities. “Wisdom” encompasses Iban autochthonous knowledge, ideas, experiences, judgements, and spiritual principle that evolved into Adat. Wisdom is the quality that enables an Adat to be utilised to bring about beneficial or noble purpose, or justice. The study contends that there is wisdom in most Adat Iban. However, the social changes and modernisation that are taking place in most Iban communities raise the question of whether the Adat and the underlying wisdom are living Adat. A living Adat is one that is dynamic and flexible and constantly adjusting and adapting to the new or changing social situations. This study concludes that most Adat Iban have the potential to be living Adat and continue to be relevant for the regulation of Iban communities. However, the survival, development, and continuing relevance of Adat Iban depend on the Iban. / Graduate / 2021-11-18

Control of 3D-printed Hand Prosthetic via Intra-body Fat Channel Communication

Trollsås, Eric January 2022 (has links)
Intra-Body Communication (IBC) is a prospective technology where human tissue may be used as a signal medium in order to transmit useful data within the human body. Proposed applica- tions of this technology are prosthetics control or implanted device communication, potentially by establishing an Intra-Body Area Network (IBAN), which could further be enhanced by other IoT applications and 5G radio systems. Previous research at Uppsala University has shown the fat tissue to be a promising medium due to its low permittivity and loss tangent. This form of implementation is named Fat-IBC. This thesis aimed to produce a Fat-IBC enabled device, as a proof of concept. This project successfully produced and characterized phantom tissue, produced a basic demonstrator device in the form of a 3D-printed arm prosthetic, and integrated a wireless communication system into the arm prosthetic. The communication system was implemented using Arduino microcontrollers and XBee RF modules, based on the 802.15.4-based ZigBee protocol at 2.45 GHz. Muscle, fat, and skin phantom tissues were produced, with the muscle tissue being similar to other comparable tissue samples, while the fat and skin tissues deviated from such samples. A signal loss transmission test measured a -67 dB loss over 20 cm of fat tissue. Several potential issues with production and measurement were discussed. The arm demonstrator device was also tested by transmitting the control signal across phantom fat tissue, being fully functional through 10cm of tissue, and of limited function across 20cm of tissue.

Des entités invisibles qui font vivre les humains : une approche cosmocentrique de la différenciation et de la préséance et leur articulation à l'égalitarisme chez les Iban de Sarawak (Malaysia)

Béguet, Véronique 25 April 2018 (has links)
Cette thèse propose une résolution du paradoxe, pour nous, d'un groupe égalitaire sur le plan social, politique, économique et juridique - les Iban de Sarawak (Malaysia) -, qui pourtant encourage la différenciation et marque la préséance sur le plan rituel. Elle s'ancre dans une anthropologie ontologique, tout particulièrement l'approche de l'engagement attentif dans le monde de Tim Ingold, qui défend une perspective cosmocentrique et prône une relecture de l'animisme. Elle insiste en outre sur la nécessité de prendre réellement au sérieux les prémisses animistes, y compris celui de l'existence d'entités invisibles comme phénomène du réel, questionnant ainsi les fondements agnostiques de la discipline. L'animisme iban est balisé à partir de trois types de métamorphoses / transformations. Le premier permet le passage entre les êtres vivants conaturels (humains, animaux, végétaux et minéraux) et les entités invisibles. Il crée une disjonction ontologique, mais aussi leur consubstantialité. Le second type, la métamorphose de défunts en animaux, renouvelle les notions d'ancestralité. Les entités bienveillantes - les petara - apparaissent comme des ancêtres transformés qui connectent les humains aux règnes animal et aviaire. Enfin, les entités invisibles ont non seulement le pouvoir de se métamorphoser, mais aussi celui de transformer les êtres vivants ce qui, associé à leur socialité, en fait des personnes à part entière. Cette thèse examine en troisième lieu les modes relationnels et les transformations provoquées par les antu, particulièrement la pétrification créant des charmes et la modification du corps humain. La différenciation et la préséance se bâtissent dans ces relations avec des entités invisibles. Le soutien de ces dernières permet à certains de gravir progressivement les échelons d'un ou plusieurs registres prestigieux et d'acquérir les capacités rituelles correspondantes. Dans ce processus, l'être humain « devient mature » et se « renforce » progressivement dans toutes ses dimensions, visibles et invisibles. La préséance rituelle correspond à un ordonnancement des humains selon leur « force, maturité » et leur capacité à soutenir la proximité d'entités invisibles de plus en plus dangereuses. Ainsi, différenciation et préséance découlent des relations avec les entités invisibles. Les relations strictement entre humains, quant à elles, sont gouvernées par une moralité et des pratiques égalitaires.
