The diversity of plants, animals and other life forms in the spectrum of biological habitats represented in Brunei Darussalam is sizeable, varied and comprises many unique features. Brunei Darussalam holds a wealth of natural richness. This is both a resource and heritage, which merits a special approach for its continued research, understanding and documentation, and presentation of its significant findings to conserve, especially protect, develop or manage. This approach for the systematic organization and enhancement of biodiversity knowledge finds its focus through the functions of the IBER. UBD has a proud and long tradition of fostering and promoting biodiversity and environmental research dating back to the days of the University’s founding in 1985. Milestones since 1985 include the establishment of a world class Field Research Centre in Kuala Belalong (KBFSC), participation and leadership of UBD staff and students in two expeditions by the Sarawak Forestry Department to Lanjak Entimau and Paya Maga, and by the current UBD-led expeditions to the Sungai Ingei Conservation Forest and Mt Pagon, Brunei Darussalam. Another expedition is currently planned to Bukit Teraja in the Belait District of Brunei Darussalam. In June 2014, a team of researchers undertook a three-day rapid biodiversity assessment as a precursor to a full expedition to Bukit Teraja. Biodiversity and environmental research at UBD received substantial and significant support in recent years through sizeable amounts of research funding from the UBD research grant scheme (URC), Department of Economic Planning and Development (JPKE) and the Brunei Research Council (BRC). Three major aims of the IBER are to further develop biodiversity research in Brunei Darussalam, help to achieve the economic vision of Wawasan 2035, and to help meet the objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), to which Brunei Darussalam is a party by accession. Coordination of research, education and outreach activities of the UBD’s premier international field research facility, the Kuala Belalong Field Studies Centre (KBFSC) is a special emphasis of the IBER. In addition, IBER research and educational projects focus on both terrestrial and marine biodiversity throughout Brunei Darussalam, as well as the interactions between biodiversity and its environment. Associate Professor Dr. Kushan U. Tennakoon Director, Institute for Biodiversity and Environmental Research IBER Scope ii The Institute for Biodiversity and Environmental Research (IBER) functions as the focal agency within UBD for the systematic organisation and enhancement of biodiversity and environmental knowledge through its research, education and outreach programs. The establishment of IBER highlights the importance accorded to biodiversity and environmental research by UBD. The Institute’s objectives are to: 1. organize, promote develop and undertake research, teaching, training and other professional programs in the areas of tropical biodiversity and environmental studies. 2. provide and coordinate facilities and logistic support for field and laboratory research, teaching, training and other professional programs. 3. establish, elucidate and collate environmental databases on Brunei Darussalam’s biodiversity and environmental data. 4. develop human resources in the fields of tropical biodiversity and environmental sciences through long and short term research, training and educational programs. 5. establish close associations and collaborations with other universities, research institutes, natural history museums, botanical gardens and professional bodies. 6. be the institute of coordination for international and local programs related to tropical biodiversity and environmental studies and activities (including iCUBE and UBD’s collaborations with the Heart of Borneo initiative). 7. coordinate research directions & education programs, funding contribution & other forms of support to KBFSC as a special research emphasis. 8. publish academic knowledge in reputed journals, bulletins, newsletters or other scientific literature, and organize conferences, workshops or symposia. Research Fellowship IBER/KBFSC Research Fellowship 2013/2014 The UBD/IBER Research Fellowship for the year 2013/ 2014 has been awarded to Dr. Claas Damken (School of Environment, University of Auckland, New Zealand- an iCUBE partner university). Dr. Damken is working on an “Inventory of insect diversity of tropical forests in Brunei Darussalam and comparison of species traits of a functional guild using multiple data Dr. Claas Damken sampling at the Tutong White Sands sets”. In particular, he is collecting Heteroptera or so-called true bugs for a species checklist and an online database for this group. Furthermore, he is conducting a study on the ecology of dung beetles and is looking at fly diversity in Mangrove forests. The heteropterans sometimes look like beetles, but the latter have chewing mouthparts whereas heteropterans have sucking mouth parts. Heteropterans undergo an incomplete development; juveniles (nymphs) have several stages, each resembling the adult form, but yet without wings. Many heteropterans feed on plant tissue; others are predators on insects or spiders, while some feed on fungi or are parasitic on birds and bats. Different true bugs can be found in and on the water, on the ground, in the litter, on grasses, herbs and shrubs, on and under the bark of trees and of course high up in the canopy. According to a first examination of the material collected by Dr. Damken in 2014, at least 175 different species of true bugs were found in the vicinity of the field station alone, but the final number for Belalong is expected to be closer to 250. An online database with high quality pictures and an interactive key will be developed as part of this project, to facilitate future research on this ecologically important group of insects at Belalong and in other areas of Borneo. Dr. Damken’s local collaborators are Rodzay bin Haji Abd Wahab and Teddy Chua Wee Li (IBER), and Prof Ulmar Grafe (IBER & FOS).

Dr. Horwath investigated the use of “Bryophytes as indicators of ecological and climatic variation in different forest types of Brunei Darussalam”. The objective of this project was to survey the forest canopy flora and demonstrate that species distribution patterns and ecophysiological properties of the epiphytic bryophytes (mosses and liverworts) can provide valuable clues about the microclimatic conditions found in different forest types of Brunei Darussalam. Canopy access facilitated the recording of microclimatic data, and the collecting of plant Dr. Aline Horwarth surveying specimens along microhabitat gradients and bryophytes up a tree. across a complex forest ecosystem matrix.

This is also observed in the small country of Brunei. As one of the few countries that have successfully mitigated COVID-19 transmissions, Brunei is slowly rebuilding its tourism industry through its community-based tourism (CBT). Fol- lowing Sharma et al.’s resilience-based framework for reviving the tourism industry post-COVID-19 established in 2021, this study incorporates responses from semi-structured interviews with 16 local CBT owners on the challenges, the management, and the CBT initiatives during the height of the pandemic until today. These initiatives include diversifying more tour packages and utilising local resources and products. Despite the lockdown imposed by the government, which suspended businesses and restricted all travelling, local CBT operations flourished, generated more income for the owners, and created job opportunities for the community. Such efforts have caused the public to appreciate local cultures, the environment, and ultimately increase CBT experiences in the country. Citation: Noorashid, N.; Chin, W.L.

  • Leonardo Music Journal [1])

    Leonardo Music Journal [1])

    IntroductIon LMJ 23: Sound Art What’s in a name? That which we call “Music” is judged by the full weight of history and fashion; substitute “Sound Art” and most of these preconceptions fall away. As recently as a decade ago the reaction instead might have been bemusement. The term Sound Art was coined in the late 1960s to describe sonic activities taking place outside the concert hall: interactive installations, listening walks, environmental recordings, open duration sound events—even “happenings” and performance art were occasionally lumped under this rubric. For many years Sound Art remained an interstitial activity, falling between music and visual art, embraced fully by neither. Many composers viewed self-styled Sound Artists as failed mem- bers of their own club pursuing “a career move . a branding exercise” (as Chris Mann is quoted as saying in Ricardo Arias’s contribution to this volume of Leonardo Music Journal [1]). Most museums and galleries, in turn, shied away from an art form that was often stunningly unvisual even by the standards of Conceptual Art and for which there appeared to be no mar- ket. (Gallery assistants often found it very irritating to boot.) By 2013, however, Sound Art clearly has been accepted as an identifiable musical genre, an art world commodity, and a subject of critical study. Its newfound visibility can be traced to a number of aesthetic, technological and economic factors. First and foremost, I suspect, is the ubiquity of video in contemporary life: On the heels of the ever-declining price of camcord- ers, cellphone cameras have brought the world—from out-of-tune Van Halen concerts to the Arab Spring—to our laptops, and every video clip is invariably accompanied by sound.

Dyg. Fatimah binti Hj. Awg. Chuchu (Dr.) & Najib Noorashid Universiti Brunei Darussalam; Brunei Darussalam [email protected]; [email protected]. Keywords: Language vitality, language revitalisation, language extinction, ethnic minority, Dusun, Brunei. Abstract. Language extinction or language death is a sociolinguistic phenomenon which concerns and is often discussed among linguists or members of speaker in general (Aitchison, 2001; Crystal, 2000; Dalby, 2003; Mufwene, 2004; Nelson, 2007; Fishman, 2002; 2007). Due to rapid globalisation, the effect of linguistic "superstratum-substratum" is inevitable (Crystal, 2003), in particular to those languages of ethnic minorities; those in Brunei Darussalam are not the exclusion (Martin, 1995; Noor Azam, 2005; David, Cavallaro & Coluzzi, 2009; Clynes, 2012; Coluzzi, 2012). These minority languages are inclined to endangeredment due to urbanisation, education system, migrations and others, which lead to language shift and consequently, extinction. Brunei Darussalam is a multilingual country that has a diverse population and cultures which generate variations of language and dialect (Nothofer, 1991; Fatimah & Poedjosoedarmo, 1995; Azmi Abdullah, 2001; Jaludin Chuchu, 2005; David, Cavallaro & Coluzzi, 2009). Recognised as one of the seven indigenous in Brunei under the Citizenship Status laws 1961 of the Constitution of Negari Brunei 1959, Dusun ethnic is alleged to have and practice its own code of dialect. All dialects and languages spoken by indigenous ethnics are regarded as minority languages, except for the dialect of Brunei Malay. By focusing on Dusun dialect, this paper discusses the current situation of its language use and perceptions among the native speakers.
