Understanding the role of technology to support life transitions in residential aged care settings
Everyday practices, including technology use, by older adults can significantly change during important life transitions. However, technologies do not always match their evolving needs. This paper examines how older adults reconfigure everyday technology use when navigating major life transitions in later life. We have engaged with fifteen participants living in residential care settings for three years in weekly group activities and individual v…
Reshaping Higher Education Designs and Futures: Postdigital Co-design with Generative Artificial Intelligence
This article examines how collaborative design practices in higher education are reshaped through postdigital entanglement with generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). We collectively explore how co-design, an inclusive, iterative, and relational approach to educational design and transformation, expands in meaning, practice, and ontology when GenAI is approached as a collaborator. The article brings together 19 authors and three open reviewe…
Recollecting Rapa Nui: Books, carvings, photographs
Recollecting memories is intrinsically linked to collecting things. In this article, we focus on this material dimension of remembrance. Drawing on a historical-ethnographic investigation of Rapanui material entities - books, carvings, photographs - that are often housed in archival-museum collections, and their agency and efficacy – their effect upon human affairs through circulation – we suggest that books, carvings and photographs, in their Ra…

Introduction. Souverainetés autochtones: À travers l’Océanie, au-delà de l’État
Indigenous Sovereignties: Across Oceania, Beyond the State. Introduction
This special issue interrogates Indigenous sovereignties across Oceania and beyond the state. Addressing the topic in the plural, involves thinking about multiple kinds of self-determination, governance practices, and institutional bodies placed beyond—within and outside, above and below—the state, as well as through scalar motions from the local to the global and temporal orientations from the past to the future. In this diversity of contexts, t…
Introduction Souverainetés autochtones: À travers l’Océanie, au-delà de l’État
Ce numéro spécial interroge les souverainetés autochtones à travers l’Océanie et au-delà de l’État. Aborder ce sujet au pluriel implique de réfléchir à de multiples formes d’autodétermination, de pratiques de gouvernance et d’organes institutionnels placés au-delà – à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur, au-dessus et au-dessous de l’État, ainsi qu’à travers des mouvements scalaires allant du local au global et des orientations temporelles allant du pass…

Cost-Effectiveness of the Comprehensive Interdisciplinary Program-Care in Informal Caregivers of People with Alzheimer’s Disease
People with Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis who get informal care remain at home longer, reducing the demand for healthcare resources but increasing the stress of caregiving. Research on the effectiveness of physical training, psychoeducational, cognitive-behavioural, and health education programs in reducing the caregiver load and enhancing health-related quality of life (HRQoL) exist, but none exist about an integrated interdisciplinary prog…
Heart Rate Variability Monitoring during a Padel Match
Padel, an increasingly popular sport, presents some associated cardiovascular risks, which can be prevented by heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring. However, there is no study worldwide that characterizes HRV during padel games. Therefore, this study aims to monitor HRV responses and characterize them using linear and non-linear metrics at three timepoints: at baseline, during a game, and during recovery. Twenty-seven amateur participants had …
Acute Effect of Exposure to Extreme Heat (100 ± 3 °C) on Lower Limb Maximal Resistance Strength
The aim of this study was to evaluate the acute effect of a single dry sauna bath lasting twelve minutes on the indirect determination of the one maximum repetition (1RM) leg press among trained and untrained participants. Thirty young men participated in the study, a trained group (TG; n = 15; age: 20.97 ± 0.44 years) and an untrained group (UG; n = 15; age: 21.03 ± 0.11 years). Subjects in the TG had performed resistance training for at least t…

Eleven experts, who had to meet four of the five inclusion criteria established by the researchers, parti…
Exploring Technologies to Better Link Physical Evidence and Digital Information for Disaster Victim Identification
Disaster victim identification (DVI) entails a protracted process of evidence collection and data matching to reconcile physical remains with victim identity. Technology is critical to DVI by enabling the linkage of physical evidence to information. However, labelling physical remains and collecting data at the scene are dominated by low-technology paper-based practices. We ask, how can technology help us tag and track the victims of disaster? Ou…

Getting to Know You
Getting to Know You Diego Muñoz Q. How did you get into anthropology, and specifically Rapa Nui anthropology? What triggered your interest? A. My interest in anthropology comes from the time when I was in high school, when I was 15 or 16 years old. It was then that I had concern and discomfort against various phenomena I observed in Chile. Not long before the country returned to democracy after 17 years of dictatorship, social actors began to app…
Design participation lab
How would you describe your lab to visitors? At the Design Participation Lab, our projects have a humanitarian or environmental focus. We work with Indigenous communities, older people, children with autism, and people with intellectual disabilities, seeking to understand how they appropriate technologies and how we might co-design desirable technologies. We value pluralism, seeking to make technologies that reflect the rich diversity and idiosyn…
Más allá de Isla de Pascua: Migración e identidad en la sociedad rapanui contemporánea
La sociedad rapanui actual se compone de comunidades territorialmente dispersas. Mediante diferentes formas de articulación, configuran una noción de totalidad social centrada en Isla de Pascua como lugar identitario de arraigo. En este artículo propongo que esta totalidad social se articula mediante a una red de conexiones que vincula la Isla de Pascua (Rapa Nui) a Chile continental y a Polinesia francesa. Rapa Nui produce un espacio de alterida…
Romper el encierro: Las fugas como micropolítica. Rapa Nui (1940-1960)
Hasta la década de 1960 el Estado chileno prohibía a los rapanui salir de la isla. Sin embargo, a partir de 1940, varios grupos de jóvenes isleños organizaron fugas. Algunos se escondían en las bodegas de los barcos de la Armada o de abastecimiento que regresaban a Chile y otros se escapaban en pequeñas embarcaciones rumbo a Tahiti, Polinesia francesa. La repetición de las fugas en el tiempo, las justificaciones dadas por los rapanui a estas y lo…

La tierra en Rapa Nui. La política del parentesco y los dispositivos estatales. Consensos y disensos en la definición de la propiedad
Uno de los asuntos centrales en las relaciones entre la sociedad rapanui y el Estado chileno concierne a la propiedad de la tierra y las formas de su transmisión. Se analiza aquí la configuración histórica de la propiedad en Hanga Roa, tanto desde el punto de vista rapanui como estatal, y los mecanismos mediante los cuales esta ha sido transmitida en el seno de la comunidad rapanui. Hemos buscado en un corpus de 2.000 documentos oficiales de insc…
