For me, this thrill is due to traversing different research terrains and gaining knowledge attributed mainly to having a supervisor like Professor T. Ramayah, with his vast expertise in research and analysis, and his generosity in imparting this knowledge to me. His guidance on materials for good methodology and his immediate feedback at any time of the day eased the process of completing this research tremendously. I am also grateful to Dr. Teh Sin Yin, for her thoroughness in examining my thesis during the proposal stage. I also truly appreciate my external examiner, Prof. Madya Dr. Rosmini Omar and my internal examiners Dr. Teh Sin Yin and Prof. Madya Dr. Shankar Chelliah for their thoroughness in reading my thesis and providing feedback to improve the quality of the thesis. This journey too would not have been possible if it was not for the blessings of my wonderful parents and brother, whose unconditional love and continuous emotional and financial support assisted me when facing challenges throughout this research process. The completion of this thesis would also not have been possible if not for the expertise of my friends, the computer whiz, Viswa, and the translation expert Jaja.

Part of the areas include the district of Ranau, Kota Marudu and Kota Belud. Some of the areas involved if not all are under a national park program prior to this. This gazettement undoubtedly has the potential to bring economic benefit to the state. It has the potential to increase land value, stimulating economic activities especially in the services sector via tourism activities, enhancing protection for environment and as a mean to control aggressive use of land for development. On the other hand, there are some concerns of stakeholders. Issues such as potential restriction for farmers to do agriculture related activities and relocation of village among others are potential concern among communities in Ranau, Kota Marudu and Kota Belud. In this regard, in order to examine the real concerns of various stakeholders, some series of roundtable discussions and interviews have been undertaken. Based on the preliminary assessment, very small number of individuals have worry about the geopark idea. Majority look at it positively.

HULTBERG B P Research Centre, Sunbury-on-Thames, Middlesex ABSTRACT-Two Swedish borehole cores covering the Danian, and three Danish outcrop sections covering the Lower Danian, were analysed for dinoflagellates. This study suggests that the Swedish sections, in contrast to previous investigations, are the most complete sections across the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary in the Danish Embayment. As a consequence, the previously established biozonation can be modified to include one more basal Danian zonule. A detailed study of the dinoflagellates of the Fish Clay in Denmark suggests that this layer was formed in a low salinity environment in eastern Denmark and in a stable marine environ- ment in western Denmark. In addition, the Fish Clay is shown to be biostratigraphically older in eastern Denmark than in western Denmark. INTRODUCTION most Danian age (Rosenkrantz, 1966). It is a formation The Danish Embayment is a sedimentary basin of four thin clay layers, immediately overlying the containing Mesozoic and Cenozoic deposits. It is a part Maastrichtian chalk. The lowermost layer is a 2-4cm of the Danish-Polish Trough, which extends as a belt in thick marl bed of a whitish grey colour. Overlying it is a a north-westerly to south-easterly direction from 2-5cm thick dark brown to black bed with abundant Denmark across Poland. The Danish Embayment was pyrite concretions of varying size, which is in turn connected to the North Atlantic and Tethys through overlain by a 3-5cm thick dark grey marl bed, which narrow sea passages (Posaryska, 1965).
  • Indigenous Knowledge Dissemination-Still Not There

    Indigenous Knowledge Dissemination-Still Not There

    Indigenous Knowledge Dissemination‐Still Not There Ibrahim Ahmad BAJUNID INTI Laureate University Page | 0 Abstract We have robust partial knowledge about what we know and in this strength, we are proud and arrogant about what we do. However, we are ignorant of alternatives and complementary knowledge, education and training. We know little of alternative or complementary medicine‐Chinese traditional medicine, Ayurveda and Islamic traditional medicine. We know little of the arts of self‐defence and the martial masters, and other training forms beyond WestPoint and Sandhurst. It is possible that people from the dominant knowledge mainstream will go through their lives without “having had to operate outside of the dominant knowledge systems or shift the paradigm through which a [person] views the world in order to make sense of things.” Indigenous Knowledge is not about the aborigines as subjects but it is about man’s knowledge from another perspective, at the fringe of, or aside of dominant knowledge systems. It is about the use of the inherited and evolving knowledge corpuses. To understand the importance of the knowledge of “the other” we have to understand their ways of knowing, of happying, of facing the trials and tribulations of change, often disruptive to their ecology. In some ways, in popular literature regarding the natives, (or in some other art forms), actors are made to articulate some perspectives and wisdom of native, marginalized and alienated people. The disconnect in contemporary civilization, especially, in educational enterprises is not about merely the obsolescence of their tools or thoughts, but about the embedded strengths of the native potentials and philosophies, interpretations and meaning‐findings in their lives.
