Globally, many resource extraction projects such as mines and hydroelectric dams are developed on the territories of Indigenous Peoples. Recognising land a determinant Peoples' health, our objective is to synthesise evidence about mental health impacts communities who experience dispossession due industrial development (mining, hydroelectric, petroleum, agricultural). We systematically reviewed studies that focused in Australia, Aotearoa (New Zealand), North South America, Circumpolar North. searched Scopus, Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, Global Health OVID for peer-reviewed articles published English from database inception Dec 31, 2020. also books, research reports, scholarly journals specialising or research. included documents reported primary research, Peoples settler colonial states, development. Of 29 studies, 13 were related dams, 11 petroleum developments, nine mining, two agriculture. Land had predominantly negative communities. The consequences relations threatened identities, resources, languages, traditions, spirituality, ways life. impact assessment processes must expressly consider risks potential respect rights by making knowledge central component decisions free, prior, informed consent.

Due to the low costs of distributed optical fibre sensors (DFOS) and possibility their direct integration within layered composite members, DFOS technology has considerable potential in structural health monitoring linear underground infrastructures. Often, it is challenging truly simulate actual ground conditions at all construction stages. Thus, reliable measurements are required adjust model verify theoretical calculations. The article presents a new approach monitor displacements strains Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) collectors pipelines using DFOS. research verifies effectiveness proposed solution for pipelines. Optical fibres were installed over circumference tubular pipe, both on internal external surfaces, while loaded externally. Analysis strain profiles allowed calculating (shape) pipe its cross-section plane Trapezoidal method. accuracy was positively verified with reference spot displacement transducer as well numerical simulations finite element method (FEM). could obtain comprehensive view deformations, including under externally applied load. knowledge gained during will be ultimately used renovating existing collectors.

Abstract Indigenous peoples have occupied their territories for thousands of years, increasingly being mined by an industry applying the most modern extractive, marketing, and transport technologies on a scale that can be difficult to comprehend. Mining reshapes landscapes, literally moving mountains diverting rivers, landscapes owners often believe were originally shaped ancestor beings still reside at sites where they completed work.
