Power, Culture, and Family–School Relations : Towards Culturally Sustaining Practices
Power, Culture, and Family-School Relations: Towards Culturally Sustaining Practices explores the extent to which common practices in school-based family outreach advance equity or sustain the status quo in power and cultural relations.Using a rich ethnographic account of a school-based family literacy program in Nebraska, the book unfolds the daily cultural practices of the program so that readers may visualize and contemplate how and if the program serves newcomer and refugee families within the unique context of the New Latine Diaspora.The author draws upon critical theory to showcase how neoliberal and deficit ideologies are at play throughout the different aspects of the program, the influence these ideologies have on the participants, and the tactics used by the caregivers to resist and change the programmatic structures and curriculum to meet their needs.As such, the book invites educators, administrators, and scholars into the nebulous and difficult conversation about how schools, paradoxical entities that often colonize but prospectively liberate, must not just rethink how they work with parents and caregivers but rather dismantle traditional cultural practices that seek to assimilate minoritized families.Showcasing the power of ethnography as tool which can be used to support educators and scholars to understand cultural elements of family outreach programs on a semiotic level, and how transforming these semiotic building blocks can lead to equitable relationships, it will appeal to scholars and researchers with interests in adult education, social foundations of education, critical ethnography, multilingual Adult Basic Education, and family outreach.

How can I find an agricultural operation that is self-sustaining?
To find a self-sustaining agricultural operation, you can look for farms that practice sustainable farming methods such as crop rotation, composting, and integrated pest management. These farms often prioritize soil health and biodiversity, which are key components of self-sustainability. Additionally, you can seek out farms that utilize renewable energy sources, practice water conservation techniques, and minimize external inputs like synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Visiting local farmers markets, attending agricultural workshops, and connecting with organizations that promote sustainable agriculture can also help you identify self-sustaining operations in your area.

How can self-sustaining be achieved without a relay using a transistor?
Self-sustaining can be achieved without a relay using a transistor by creating a feedback loop in the circuit. This can be done by using the transistor to control the flow of current in the circuit, and connecting the output of the circuit back to the input through a feedback loop. This allows the circuit to regulate itself and maintain a stable output without the need for a relay. Additionally, using components such as capacitors and resistors can help to stabilize the circuit and ensure self-sustaining operation.

From Belief to Knowledge : Achieving and Sustaining an Adaptive Culture in Organizations
Belief is not knowledge, but we tend to hold our beliefs as if they represent knowledge, selecting whatever evidence is required to justify them. And because humans tend to cling to their beliefs as truths, organizations often ignore the need for change, no matter how urgent that need. From Belief to Knowledge: Achieving and Sustaining an Adaptive Culture in Organizations offers potential change agents an integrative analysis and treatment of the problem of organizational learning.It demonstrates the importance of looking beneath beliefs and assumptions to find the roots and persistent influences that preserve them.It gives us a much broader definition of organizational knowledge than that associated with information technology and the currently popular idea of knowledge as an asset.Furthermore, it provides an alternative view of culture and change, one that is defined by the ability to continually align collective beliefs with reality. "Douglas and Wykowski…answer the question that lingers in the minds of many managers – What does organizational learning mean and how does it influence ongoing organizational success?" – Lee Newick, Shell DownstreamRather than offer simple recipes, this book shows how good leaders can evolve and sustain an adaptive culture that develops knowledge through purposeful human interaction.It explores key dynamics of learning, considers the diversity of beliefs present in any group, and demonstrates ways that those leaders can explore and encourage the potential of both the group and individuals within the group. "Although this book is geared to organizational change, it has the potential to change all areas of human endeavor." – David Julian Hodges, City University of New York

Artist-run democracy: sustaining a model
Off-the-grid from commercial galleries – selling visuals – and canonical institutions – there to support the often static national or regional identities– artists instigate grass-roots cultural safe havens in order to deliver the progressive and the experimental. They are fundamentally vulnerable to public-policy cycles, in the voluntary effort that holds the initiative together, in their provision of opportunities, and more.Despite the precarity of such organising by these civil initiatives, and regardless of their promoting of a public cultural vitality beyond the demand of the public life, they are in poor public support and lack opportunities to gain public visibility.This publication zooms in on a particular mode of organizing: on the ‘Artist-run Democracy’. It does so by examining the workings of 126, an Artist-run gallery* in Galway, Ireland, as a benchmark. 126 is particular in the way the board is conceived, how the program is decided upon, how directors change every two year, 'serving as volunteers'**, and more. This model is borrowed from Scottish initiatives, started a decades earlier. Unique to 126 is its remote positioning to the global art market. Close but not closed, they have sustained their project for more than 15 years. This book explores the grounds for this mode of organizing within the self-organized culture of the art sector, and may serve as inspiration and discussion for those committed to organising in the visual arts and beyond.

Who has the right to decide when to switch off life-sustaining devices?
The decision to switch off life-sustaining devices is a complex and sensitive issue that typically involves the patient, their family, and medical professionals. Ultimately, the patient has the right to make decisions about their own medical care, including whether to continue life support. However, if the patient is unable to make decisions, their designated healthcare proxy or legal guardian may have the authority to make decisions on their behalf. It is important for all parties involved to have open and honest discussions about the patient's wishes and best interests before making such a difficult decision.

How can one forget culture and heritage?
One can forget culture and heritage by not actively engaging with it, by being disconnected from one's roots and community, and by prioritizing other aspects of life over preserving and celebrating one's cultural identity. This can happen through assimilation into a different culture, lack of exposure to one's own cultural traditions and practices, and a lack of interest in learning about one's heritage. Additionally, societal pressures and discrimination can also contribute to the erasure of one's culture and heritage.

How many individuals does a self-sustaining population need to avoid inbreeding and survive?
A self-sustaining population typically needs a minimum of 50 individuals to avoid inbreeding and survive in the long term. This number is based on genetic diversity and the ability to maintain a healthy gene pool. With a larger population, there is a greater chance for genetic variation, reducing the risk of inbreeding and increasing the population's resilience to environmental changes and disease. However, the specific number can vary depending on the species and its reproductive and genetic characteristics.
