商品描述

This interdisciplinary volume examines the intersection of disability, disaster risk, and resilience within the sociocultural and ecological contexts of Oceania. Drawing on oral histories, Indigenous knowledge systems, and policy analysis, the book foregrounds the lived experiences of disabled individuals in Pacific Island nations facing climate-related disasters such as cyclones, volcanic eruptions, and rising sea levels. It critically engages with global frameworks--including the Sendai Framework and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities--while highlighting implementation gaps and accessibility challenges in local contexts.

By integrating perspectives from disability studies, environmental justice, and decolonial theory, the book challenges dominant disaster discourses that often overlook disability. It explores how disabled communities navigate compounded vulnerabilities and contribute to resilience-building through community care, advocacy, and inclusive planning. The volume offers region-specific insights into infrastructure disparities, gendered dimensions of vulnerability, and culturally grounded strategies for disaster preparedness.

This book will be of interest to scholars and practitioners in public health, disability studies, climate adaptation, and policy development. It provides a timely and actionable contribution to inclusive disaster governance and climate justice, amplifying voices from Oceania that are often underrepresented in global literature.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本跨學科的著作探討了殘障、災害風險與韌性在大洋洲社會文化和生態背景下的交集。該書以口述歷史、原住民知識系統和政策分析為基礎，突顯了面對氣候相關災害（如颶風、火山爆發和海平面上升）的太平洋島國中殘障人士的生活經驗。它批判性地參與全球框架——包括仙台框架和《殘障人士權利公約》，同時強調當地背景下的實施差距和可及性挑戰。

通過整合殘障研究、環境正義和去殖民理論的觀點，該書挑戰了經常忽視殘障的主流災害話語。它探討了殘障社群如何應對複合脆弱性，並通過社區照護、倡導和包容性規劃來促進韌性建設。這本書提供了針對基礎設施差異、脆弱性的性別維度以及基於文化的災害準備策略的地區特定見解。

這本書將吸引公共衛生、殘障研究、氣候適應和政策發展領域的學者和實務工作者。它為包容性災害治理和氣候正義提供了及時且可行的貢獻，放大了來自大洋洲的聲音，這些聲音在全球文獻中往往被低估。

作者簡介

Dr. Ramakrishnan V serves as an Associate Professor of Genetics at the Faculty of Allied Health Sciences, Chettinad Hospital and Research Institute, part of the Chettinad Academy of Research and Education in Kelambakkam. His expertise provides vital insights into genetic polymorphisms linked to various metabolic disorders, which are important for both clinical practice and public health. He is also actively involved in chromosomal analysis for numerous genetic disorders identified in the pediatric cases. His research focuses on finding chromosomal abnormalities and structural changes that cause developmental issues and congenital diseases in children. This research is crucial for early identification, clinical care, and genetic counselling for afflicted families. When conducting a genetic evaluation of an individual, it is essential to consider the family medical history. A thorough pathological background of the family aids in identifying or predicting inherited genetic disease patterns within or across families. In recent years, genetic testing has become increasingly important for the evaluation of cardiac, metabolic, reproductive, and neurological conditions. Advances in technology, including polymerase chain reaction, DNA sequencing, multi-omics, and systems biology techniques, have facilitated the shift toward multigene testing using microarray panels. These panels, which include hundreds of biomarker genes, enable early detection of complex diseases.

Sheena Mariam Thomas is working in a research associate position under Dr. Ramakrishnan's supervision at the Faculty of Allied Health Sciences, Chettinad Hospital and Research Institute, part of the Chettinad Academy of Research and Education.

拉馬克里希南博士（Dr. Ramakrishnan V）擔任切提納德醫院與研究所（Chettinad Hospital and Research Institute）聯合健康科學院（Faculty of Allied Health Sciences）的遺傳學副教授。他的專業知識為與各種代謝疾病相關的遺傳多態性提供了重要的見解，這對臨床實踐和公共健康都至關重要。他還積極參與對許多在兒科病例中識別的遺傳疾病進行染色體分析。他的研究重點在於尋找導致兒童發展問題和先天性疾病的染色體異常和結構變化。這項研究對於早期識別、臨床護理和為受影響家庭提供遺傳諮詢至關重要。在對個體進行遺傳評估時，考慮家庭病史是必不可少的。家庭的詳細病理背景有助於識別或預測家族內或家族間的遺傳疾病模式。近年來，遺傳測試在心臟、代謝、生殖和神經系統疾病的評估中變得越來越重要。技術的進步，包括聚合酶鏈反應（polymerase chain reaction）、DNA測序（DNA sequencing）、多組學（multi-omics）和系統生物學技術，促進了使用微陣列面板進行多基因測試的轉變。這些面板包含數百個生物標記基因，使得複雜疾病的早期檢測成為可能。

希娜·瑪莉亞姆·托馬斯（Sheena Mariam Thomas）在切提納德醫院與研究所聯合健康科學院擔任研究助理，並在拉馬克里希南博士的指導下工作。
