Abstract: This paper tells a story of a practitioner’s experience in a First Nations library and how it shaped a doctoral research project on knowledge organization. It connects the landscape on the edge of a pacific forest to considerations of the impacts of the erasures of Indigenous knowledges by dominant knowledge organization systems and practices. The LIS literature on cultural bias in knowledge organization is reviewed and some ameliorative initiatives described. A theoretical lens is created by conjoining the new sociology of education with analyses by Indigenous governance organizations. The potential of LIS research to contribute to the naming and reclaiming of Indigenous knowledges is highlighted and a proposed research plan to contribute to methodologies for Indigenous knowledge organization is outlined.

1 Synthesis of [2]Rotaxane SSR•4PF6 and its Precursor Dumbbell-Shaped Compound SSD. The routes employed to synthesize the [2]rotaxane SSR•4PF6 and its respective dumbbell-shaped compound SSD, are outlined in Schemes S1–S2. The aldehyde 3 (Scheme S1) was obtained in 81 % yield by reacting 4-hydroxy-3,5-diisopropyl-benzaldehyde[1] (1) with 2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethanol (2) under alkylation conditions (K2CO3/KI/DMF) at 100 ˚C. Treating 3 with TsCl in the presence of Et3N and DMAP in CH2Cl2 solution gave the tosylate 4 which was then reacted, without purification, with NaBH4 in MeOH, to afford the benzyl alcohol 5 in an overall yield of 67%. Alkylation (K2CO3/LiBr/18C6/MeCN) of 1-acetoxy-5-hydroxy-naphthalene[2] (6) with 5 produced the intermediate ester 7, which was subjected to saponification (KOH/MeOH) to yield the diol 8 (overall 72%). Preparation of the [2]rotaxane SSR•4PF6 (Scheme S2) was completed by alkylating 8 with the tosylate[4] 9 in MeCN in the presence of K2CO3, LiBr, and 18C6 to afford the alcohol 10 in 68 % yield. This alcohol was converted to the dumbbell-shaped compound SSD by reacting it with thioctic acid (11) under esterification conditions (DCC/DMAP/CH2Cl2). The template-directed synthesis of the [2]rotaxane SSR•4PF6 was accomplished by reacting SSD, the dicationic

Group (TERG) is an advisory body providing independent assessment and advice to the Board of The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis & Malaria on issues which it determines require Board attention. The Board also directs the TERG to examine specific programmatic aspects of the Fund, as appropriate. The TERG advises the Global Fund Secretariat on evaluation approaches and practices, independence, reporting procedures and other technical and managerial aspects of monitoring and evaluation at all levels. Members of the TERG are nominated and confirmed by the Board of the Global Fund. Membership of the TERG is drawn from a range of stakeholders, including practitioners, research institutions, academics, donor and recipient countries, and non-governmental organizations.

This paper wants to assess the extent of financial integration in the European Union using the Feldstein-Horioka criterion applied to regional data over the 1995-2000 period. Our article highlights several important outcomes. First, we find evidence that there is no correlation between savings and investment inside most of the considered countries, and we are able to solve the few puzzles facing us. Second, we find that overall financial integration between EU regions is almost complete. Additional investigations on consistent sub-groups of regions confirm that the withdrawal of institutional barriers to capital mobility is a powerful tool to achieve financial integration. However, we show that financial integration as measured by the Feldstein-Horioka relationship is impeded by distance and linguistic diversity, interpreted as proxies for transaction and information costs.
