Summary: Intangible cultural heritage (ICH) plays a significant role in disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM), but research often focuses on UNESCO-inscribed popular cultural heritage. This study in Benguet, Philippines, explores how indigenous knowledge, practices, technologies, and rituals have helped build coping strategies for typhoons and extreme events. The findings highlight the importance of local knowledge, cultural technologies, rituals, and indigenous early warning systems in strengthening DRRM at the local level. The state should increase efforts to mainstream ICH and involve indigenous people in disaster risk reduction interventions.

Summary: This article explores the consultation and engagement processes of Maori people in a development project that aims to displace them from their ancestral land. By integrating Kaupapa Maori theory and the culture-centered approach, the importance of land in defining health is highlighted. The study focuses on the culture-centered organizing in creating voice infrastructures at the margins of the community to amplify Indigenous knowledge and resist the seizure of Maori land. The dialogue between KM theory and the CCA brings attention to communicative inequalities and the need to center silenced Maori voices.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic in England has resulted in significant changes to maternity services, including restrictions on birth partners, postnatal support, and women's rights. Interviews with women who gave birth during this period revealed that these restrictions had a profound negative impact on their emotional and physical wellbeing. Women were more concerned about giving birth alone than contracting COVID-19, and some sought private care or delayed seeking NHS services to have the birth experience they desired.

Summary: Type 1 diabetes poses risks for pregnant individuals and their babies. How women with type 1 diabetes navigate the challenges and engage with healthcare professionals is crucial for maintaining good glycemic control. This review examines literature from the past decade and identifies key themes including the dominance of glycemic control, emphasis on risk, importance of social and peer support, care organization and communication, and the impact of technology. Women with type 1 diabetes value being treated as partners in their care and benefit from support from family, friends, and the diabetes community. Research on the impact of diabetes technologies and integrating peer support into current care is needed.
