Land Councils are regional organizations that represent and assist indigenous peoples in protecting and maintaining their land claims and cultural sites.

Scientists have created the Belief Machine in a lab. This machine allows individual users to change their own beliefs at will, and can be used to convince the user of things they do not currently believe but wish to. For example, the machine could be used by an atheist to convince themself that an afterlife exists to reduce their fear of death.

For decades, China's economic growth has been largely driven by a booming real estate sector, fueled by rapid population growth. From 1997 to 2017, real estate-related activities' share of China's GDP rose from less than 10% to approximately 30%.
 
Since 2020, however, major Chinese property developers such as Evergrande and Country Garden have faced insolvency concerns, partly due to falling returns on real estate investment as China's population growth slows. Additionally, both housing activity and home prices have been in persistent decline since 2021.
 
Thus far, the CCP has undertaken modest policy measures to stabilize the housing sector, including incrementally lowering short-term interest rates and relaxing some regulations on housing investment. However, it has stopped short of bailing out property developers and homebuyers or launching a large-scale cash transfer program, sometimes referred to as the "bazooka option" by economic commentators and compared to the US's economic responses to the 2008 financial crisis and the covid pandemic.

India played a leading role in establishing the non-aligned movement in the 1950s, which involved taking a stance against siding with major powers in international conflicts, particularly the Cold War. Since then, India has continued to be ambiguous in its stance regarding major conflicts in international relations. This is referred to as strategic ambiguity. Key examples of this include India actively trading with both the USSR and the US during the Cold War, keeping the US at relative arm's length to stay out of US-China competition, and not condemning Russia over the invasion of Ukraine.

Efficiency-oriented economic policy centers on reducing prices and maximizing output by allocating production according to where a comparative advantage exists (e.g., lowering barriers to trade and investment, removing regulations that impede competition). Resilience-oriented economic policy sacrifices efficiency in order to build redundancies in the event of economic shocks (e.g., subsidizing domestic production, restricting trade of key technologies with adversaries, building national reserves).

"Biobag babies" is a term coined from developing research that seeks to complete the gestation of babies that are born prematurely and have little to no chance of survival outside of the womb. Preterm birth is the largest cause of death and disability in children under five. Thus far, research has been limited to a four week test on a preterm lamb, and human trials for preterm babies are currently pending approval.

Envy is a feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else's possessions, qualities, or luck.

Most universities have a governance structure with a Board of Directors or Trustees overseeing a team of Senior Administrators led by a CEO, often referred to as a President or a Principal. The Senior Administrators formulate and implement strategies for the development of the university and are responsible for the management of key units. Faculty members are predominantly responsible for teaching and research and sometimes seek promotion to Senior Administrative posts.
