"Removing an Ogiek from the Forest is like removing a fish from water": A qualitative examination on Ogiek community impacts from forced land eviction for conservation. by Mau Forest, Daniel M Kobei, Samson L Luari, Danya Carroll, Samrawit Gougsa, Victoria Pratt, Nicole Redvers

“…The interviews and sharing circle were transcribed verbatim, then reflexive thematic analysis was carried out through iterative coding to identify key themes. Six themes were characterized including: 1) Our cultural practices, ceremonies, and spirituality are tied to our identity as Ogiek; 2) Our foods and plants are our medicines; 3) Maintaining our culture in an everchanging world; 4) The Forest and Ogiek are as one in a reciprocal relationship; 5) Removing an Ogiek from the Forest is like removing a fish from water; and 6) Hope that our rights will be recognized. …”

Two-way relaying protocol tailored for sensor network by Qing-feng ZHOU, Zhi-zhong DING, Cai-hong KAI

“…A three-time-slot two-way relaying protocol,named as two-way selective decode-and-forward (TW-SDF) protocol,was proposed.This relaying protocol integrates network coding and the selective decode-and-forward method,and was tailored for wireless networks with simple devices,like sensor networks.Compared with the well-known physical-layer network coding protocol,the considered TW-SDF has the merits of full diversity order gain,low encoding and decoding complexity and easy-to-implement.Provided block codes,an upper bound on the block error rate of TW-SDF was derived and proved,which is valid for all hard decoders.Simulation results further verify that the upper bound is remarkably tight if BCH codes are utilized.…”
