Unraveling Mysteries: The Khipu as a Riddle in Our Life Journeys In the heart of the Andes, the khipu, an ancient Incan device made of knotted strings, served as a tool for recording information and conveying complex data. Beyond its historical significance, the khipu can be viewed as a riddle, inviting us to explore its deeper meanings. Much like riddles, khipus provide insights into our spiritual and emotional journeys, offering lessons in problem-solving and perspective. Similarities Between Khipus and Riddles Layered Meanings: Both khipus and riddles possess multiple layers of meaning, encouraging critical thinking and deeper understanding in our lives. Coded Communication: Like riddles, khipus encode information visually and symbolically, reminding us that effective communication often requires creative approaches. Cultural Context: Riddles rely on shared cultural knowledge, much like khipus depend on the context of Incan society. Understanding these narratives enhances our ability to navigate complex emotions and situations. Community Engagement: Both khipus and riddles promote collective problem-solving. Seeking support from others can transform challenges into opportunities for growth. Dynamic Problem Solving: The ongoing efforts to decipher khipus reflect the nature of riddles—both require us to adapt and find new solutions to life's complexities. Finding Workarounds in Our Journeys Engaging with khipus as riddles invites us to view obstacles as puzzles to solve, fostering resilience and creativity in our spiritual and emotional journeys. This perspective allows us to embrace life's complexities and transform challenges into opportunities for personal growth. Conclusion The khipu serves as a metaphor for the riddles we encounter throughout our lives. By recognizing their similarities, we can navigate our journeys with curiosity, creativity, and community support. Just as the Inca found meaning in their khipus, we can find deeper insights within our experiences, guiding us toward spiritual and emotional fulfillment. Explore the fascinating connections between #Khipu and #Riddles, delving into their roles in #IncaCivilization, the importance of #CulturalHeritage, and how they can enhance our #ProblemSolving skills, and help us uncover mysteries about the thread of life and the universe connecting us all to one another. image credits: khipu Wikipedia

Ismail’s view-point-1: At a time when the world is more hungrier in novel research outcomes, Researchers must embrace interdisciplinary collaboration for them to fit into the global struggle. This is particularly important especially in our Nigierian/African context where there is little or no synergy between professions. Everyone is seing himself as the boss, with little or no regard for sister disciplines, this eventually hinders interdisciplinary collaboration. Collaboration between like professionals provides diverse views and enhances understanding of key concepts and promote the birth of multidimensional but novel ideas. Ismail Rabiu- my view around the world.

I have had the fortune and privilege to work on research collaborations with colleagues from India, Sri Lanka, Britain, America, China, Ukraine, Zimbabwe, Oman, and beyond. It has been both exciting and challenging. These research collaborations have taught me a lot; some of the crucial learnings are: 👉Clear, patient communication bridges cultural and linguistic gaps and ensures smooth collaborations. 👉Actively seek out and value diverse viewpoints. It leads to more innovative and comprehensive research outcomes. 👉Adapting to different work styles, time zones, and cultural norms maintains team harmony. 👉Awareness and respect for cultural differences help to avoid misunderstandings and build stronger relationships. 👉The synergy of varied experiences, knowledge bases, and problem-solving approaches often results in breakthrough ideas.

Culture The idea of culture as collectively constructed meanings has its roots in the current paradigm shift in the social sciences. This shift, from an objectively oriented, positivistic approach to a subjectively oriented, relativistic approach, has been as significant in the field of cultural studies as in any other branch of social science research. Alexander (1990), in his introduction to a book summarizing current debates on culture and society, says that "Culture is the 'order' corresponding to meaningful action. Subjective, anti-mechanistic order is conceived of as followed for voluntary reasons rather than because of necessity in the mechanistic, objective sense." (p. 2) The book itself provides an interesting view of how cultural studies is currently developing as a field, since it sets out to examine debates over the nature of culture and society and breaks down perspectives on the study and meaning of culture according to sociological rather than anthropological traditions--including functionalist, Durkheimian, Marxist, poststructuralist, and other perspectives. This blurring of the lines between anthropological and sociological study is significant in the cultural studies field and allows those studying collective behavior to take a more holistic view, one that does not force a separation between the study of social activity and social organization. It is in this opening provided by the introduction of sociological perspectives into the study of culture that we find the work of Pierre Bourdieu, a sociologist whose work focuses on the concept of culture, and whose research has included a great deal of fieldwork in the anthropological tradition. Kapferer (1987), in discussing the changes taking place in the anthropological perspective on culture, says that "the trend is toward the cultural as constitutive, not in the form of 'value orientations' or guides or 'models' for action, but as finely ingrained in what Bourdieu calls habitus, or the habituated practices of human beings."

Happy to share that our last article is already published (open access) in Expert Systems journal. The paper explores social and psychological factors affecting social acceptability of low-carbon mobility policies-SUPERBLOCKS- in the city of Vitoria-Gasteiz (Spain). Through Agent-Based Model architecture we explored changes in public acceptability depending on diverse policy approaches (e.g. public participation vs top-down approaches). A multimethod empirical perspective (e.g. interviews, surveys, deliberative multistakeholders policy scenarios workshops) was used to gather enriching data on the attitudes of Vitoria-Gasteiz citizenship towards sustainable mobility policies as well as the factors influencing the adoption of active mobility and sustainable lifestyles. This paper shows the findings of the #SMARTEES EU-funded project. I would also like to acknowledge the awesome involvement of the Vitoria-Gasteiz Center of Environmental Studies in this project and, in specific, Juan Carlos Escudero Achiaga, and AITOR ALBAINA VIVANCO #CEA #SUPERBLOCKS #SOCIAL INNOVATION #AI #IA
