NAIP toolkit for Malabo domestication: Economic modeling of agricultural growth and investment strategy, case study of Kenya
The Malabo Agenda on Accelerated Agricultural Growth and Transformation has brought technical challengesto the development of agricultural strategiesby expanding the number of commitments and goalsunder the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme.In this paper, we describe and apply an economic modeling framework that wasdeveloped to identify the agricultural investment priority areas for a country and to define milestones to track its progress towards the Malabo goals. The framework consists ofa three-layer simulation model that aimstocapturemultiple Malabo commitments and goals. First, the agricultural productivity analysis uses the stochastic meta-frontier technique to asse...
Hybrid Artificial Intelligent Systems
The two LNAI volumes 7208 and 7209 constitute the proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Hybrid Artificial Intelligent Systems, HAIS 2012, held in Salamanca, Spain, in March 2012. The 118 papers published in these proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 293 submissions. They are organized in topical sessions on agents and multi agents systems, HAIS applications, cluster analysis, data mining and knowledge discovery, evolutionary computation, learning algorithms, systems, man, and cybernetics by HAIS workshop, methods of classifier fusion, HAIS for computer security (HAISFCS), data mining: data preparation and analysis, hybrid artificial intelligence systems in management of production systems, hybrid artificial intelligent systems for ordinal regression, hybrid metaheuristics for combinatorial optimization and modelling complex systems, hybrid computational intelligence and lattice computing for image and signal processing and nonstationary models of pattern recognition and classifier combinations.
True cost accounting applications for agrifood systems policymakers
This background paper to The State of Food and Agriculture 2023 introduces true cost accounting (TCA) as an approach to measure and value the costs and benefits generated by agrifood systems in order to facilitate improved decision-making. The paper is based on a systematic review of existing TCA approaches and of relevant case studies in agrifood systems. Guidance on conducting TCA is provided, especially in relation to data collection. The paper ends with a discussion on scaling and harmonizing TCA for agrifood systems transformation. Based on a systematic literature review, the paper describes seven TCA approaches and identifies nine case studies deemed most relevant to policymakers in ag...
Cerámica Y Cultura
By examining both historic and contemporary examples, the editors move discussion of the enameled earthenware known as mayolica beyond its stylistic merits in order to understand it in historic and cultural context. It places the ceramics in history and daily life, illustrating their place in trade and economics.
African commitments for agricultural development goals and milestones for Rwanda
The study developed a results framework to analyze Rwanda’s progress towards selected CAADP/Malabo, SDGs and Agenda 2063 goals. A Computable General Equilibrium model linked to an income distribution Micro-Simulation model were used to identify priority investment areas for accelerated agricultural growth, poverty and inequality reduction. The current investment trend simulated in the baseline scenario would leave Rwanda off-track to meet these objectives. The analysis of alternative agricultural investment scenarios shows that enhancing the role of the private sector in agriculture will be critical in curbing supply side constraints. The government plays a central role by creating an environment and making the sector more attractive to private investors. Developments outside of the agricultural sector and social protection will be critical to further reduce poverty. Productivity remains one of the major challenges but also one of the most effective solutions for accelerated agricultural growth in Rwanda. Agricultural investments should be designed considering the agricultural value-chain.
Countdown to 2023: progress of selected international food and beverage companies towards eliminating industrially produced trans-fatty acids from the global food supply
In support of the WHO’s goal of eliminating industrially produced trans-fatty acids (iTFA) from the global food supply by 2023, members of the International Food and Beverage Alliance (IFBA) – comprising many of the largest food and non-alcoholic beverage companies globally – signed a commitment in 2019 stating their intention to voluntarily limit iTFA to below 2g per 100g of fats and oils in their products worldwide. The commitment called for companies to reformulate products containing iTFA without increasing the content of saturated fats. This report monitors IFBA member companies’ progress in achieving this commitment, including reporting on progress against these targets in the public domain.
Galíndez
«A diciassette anni avevo letto la storia di questo personaggio basco arrestato a New York, torturato e poi fatto sparire perché aveva scritto una tesi di dottorato sul dittatore Trujillo. E mi pareva terribile che queste cose potessero essere successe in piena Fifth Avenue. Per questo, molti anni dopo scrissi questo libro che tratta soprattutto dell’impunità del potere» (Manuel Vázquez Montalbán).
Wad-Ras
El primer cas dels Mossos d'Esquadra Novel·la guanyadora del IX Premi Crims de Tinta. Barcelona, 1991. Una reclusa ha mort a la presó de Wad-Ras i tot apunta a una sobredosi d'heroïna. Pot haver-hi alguna cosa més? Inesperadament, el jutge encarrega la investigació als Mossos d'Esquadra. És la primera vegada que se'ls assigna un cas com a policia judicial, des de la reinstauració del cos, i la decisió no agrada a tothom. Però és una oportunitat única. Basada en el cas real investigat per l'autor com a mosso desquadra, Wad-Ras és una novel·la apassionant en la trama i també quan recrea, amb una evocació no exempta d'humor, un país, una època i una policia -només vint-i-cinc anys enrere- que semblen molt llunyans.
