In silico study about β-amyloid’s role in Alzheimer’s disease and glaucoma and prediction of its interactions with glaucoma related proteins by Nancy Maurya

“…Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD) has been extensively researched and reported. Glaucoma being another prominent form of neuro-degeneration involving the loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and human trabecular meshwork (HTM) cells, is also found to be similar to AD in many aspects, but its relation with β-amyloid has not been studied too far up to understanding its causation and pathogenesis where β-amyloid is expected to play important role. …”

Understanding Indigenous knowledge of conservation and stewardship before implementing co-production with Western methodologies in resource management by Stafford Maracle, Jennifer Maracle, Stephen Lougheed

“…Long-standing Indigenous knowledge and philosophies offer alternate world­views that can complement Western con­servation and resource management and may strengthen efforts to restore environmental integ­rity and conserve species and ecosystems. Researchers often tout the co-production of knowledge with Indigenous collaborators using frameworks like the Kaswentha (Two Row Wampum—Haudenosau­nee) and the Etuaptmumk (Two Eyed Seeing—Mi’kmaw) without first seek­ing to understand the foundations of Indigenous knowledge itself, and its deep roots in environmen­tal sustainability. …”
