Food Security and Poverty

description: Food security in the arid and semi-arid areas (ASALs) of Kenya is linked to climate and socio-economic factors. This study was conducted in two ASAL counties of Kenya, Kajiado and Makueni, inhabited by pastoral communities. Both primary and secondary data were collected on climate and socio-economic aspects from published and unpublished documents. Time series data covering a 31 year period were collected on rainfall amounts, rain days, temperature, beef and maize prices, stocking, livestock sales and land under cultivation to generate descriptive statistics and regression results based on the OLS, GLS and AR models. Livestock contributed 78.2% and 38.3% of total income in Kajiado and Makueni Counties respectively. Crops contributed more to the total income in Makueni County at 52.7% compared to Kajiado County at 6.9%. Of the three models tested, the GLS was found to be the most appropriate based on the number of significant variables and the estimated R2 value. The model showed that rainfall, temperature, rain days, and beef and maize prices influence income in Kajiado and Makueni Counties. Therefore, creation of micro-climates through agroforestry moderates temperatures, attracts rainfall, sequesters carbon and provides services such as food, timber, raw materials and employment. Moreover, initiatives that regulate beef and maize prices ensure predictable markets and income in both counties.

 Diagnosis. Rostrum with two long, slender contiguous spines, length, shape of rostral spines variable; and rows of hooked setae. Carapace subtriangular, setose, covered by prominences, broader in female than male. Prominence on anterior side of eye peduncle. Postorbital spine remote from eye, acute, directed outward. Septum between first antennae produced into spine. Chelipeds of male robust, those of female more slender, exceeding length of pereopods 2–5, merus subcylindrical, tuberculate; carpus rounded, hand long, slender; fingers slender, smooth, incurved. Pereopods 2–5 cylindrical, decreasing in length posteriorly, dactyls long, tipped by claws. Male carapace length 65.7 mm, width 39 mm; female 27.5–44.6 mm, width 165 mm.
 Color in life. Tan or gray, red mark on chela (Garth 1958).
 Habitat and depth. Among algae, eel grass and pilings, intertidal zone to 390 m but usually subtidal in California and Oregon.
 Range. Off Choshi, Chiba Prefecture, Japan to Comander Is.; Bristol Bay, Bering Sea to Monterey Bay, California; rarely found south of Point Arena, California. Type locality Puget Sound, Washington.
 Remarks. Oregonia gracilis decorates heavily with bits of algae, hydroids, bryozoans, sponges and wood chips. Komai & Yakovlev (2000) noted that there are two morphs of this species, one with long chelipeds and pereopods 2–5 and the other with short chelipeds and pereopods 2–5 but with longitudinal rows of long stiff setae on the propodi of those pereopods. The two morphs occur sympatrically and thus are considered to belong to the same species. These authors also note that there is considerable sexual dimorphism in the species. Females have relatively shorter rostral spines and more dense setae on the dorsal surface of the carapace than do the males, as well as differing in the shape of the abdomen and the chelipeds.

description: Data science is a discipline that provides principles, methodology and guidelines for the analysis of data for tools, values, or insights. Driven by a huge workforce demand, many academic institutions have started to offer degrees in data science, with many at the graduate, and a few at the undergraduate level. Curricula may differ at different institutions, because of varying levels of faculty expertise, and different disciplines (such as Math, computer science, and business etc) in developing the curriculum. The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth started offering degree programs in data science from Fall 2015, at both the undergraduate and the graduate level. Quite a few articles have been published that deal with graduate data science courses, much less so dealing with undergraduate ones. Our discussion will focus on undergraduate course structure and function, and specifically, a first course in data science. Our design of this course centers around a concept called the data science life cycle. That is, we view tasks or steps in the practice of data science as forming a process, consisting of states that indicate how it comes into life, how different tasks in data science depend on or interact with others until the birth of a data product or the reach of a conclusion. Naturally, different pieces of the data science life cycle then form individual parts of the course. Details of each piece are filled up by concepts, techniques, or skills that are popular in industry. Consequently, the design of our course is both "principled" and practical. A significant feature of our course philosophy is that, in line with activity theory, the course is based on the use of tools to transform real data in order to answer strongly motivated questions related to the data.

description: The theorem of Barth-Lefschetz is a statement about the cohomology of a submanifold X of some projective space, in a range depending on the codimension of the embedding. Here this is generalized to the case of a submanifold X of a smooth projective toric variety Y, under some natural conditions on X. In particular, in the Barth-Lefschetz range a formula for the Hodge numbers of X in terms of the toric, i.e. combinatorial data of Y is given.

The goal of subtask A is to classify the type of interaction between a rumorous social media post and a reply post as support, query, deny, or comment. The goal of subtask B is to predict the veracity of a given rumor. For subtask A, we implement a CNN-based neural architecture using ELMo embeddings of post text combined with auxiliary features and achieve a F1-score of 44.6%. For subtask B, we employ a MLP neural network leveraging our estimates for subtask A and achieve a F1-score of 30.1% (second place in the competition). We provide results and analysis of our system performance and present ablation experiments.

description: The behaviour of farmers towards an intervention largely depends upon their perception. Consequentially, their perception will further influence their participation in such interventions. This study used data collected from four hundred smallholder farmers using a structured questionnaire to examine their perception and the determinants of perception towards a smart subsidy program. The Ordered Probit model was used in analysing the determinants of perception. Results showed that the farmers had a positive perception towards the program and that their perception was influenced by factors such as the gender of the household head, farm size, participation in the program, being the household head, education level, training and source of information.

description: We present an homogeneous set of stellar atmospheric parameters (Teff, log g, [Fe/H]) for a sample of about 700 field and cluster stars which constitute a new stellar library in the near-infrared developed for stellar population synthesis in this spectral region (8350-9020 Angstrom). Having compiled the available atmospheric data in the literature for field stars, we have found systematic deviations between the atmospheric parameters from different bibliographic references. The Soubiran, Katz & Cayrel (1998) sample of stars with very well determined fundamental parameters has been taken as our standard reference system, and other papers have been calibrated and bootstrapped against it. The obtained transformations are provided in this paper. Once most of the datasets were on the same system, final parameters were derived by performing error weighted means. Atmospheric parameters for cluster stars have also been revised and updated according to recent metallicity scales and colour-temperature relations.

description: Rice is an important crop to combat poverty; production has not kept pace with demand and gender blindness in policy making is prevalent in Nigeria. The study researched the poverty status of rice farming household, their determinants of poverty. 3-stage stratified random sampling was used; descriptive statistics, Foster Greer and Thorbecke poverty measure and Logitic regression were the analytical tools. The study revealed 23.81% of the respondents are female-headed and 76.19% are male-headed; 54.29% of the women are without formal education as compared to the men 25.89%. The male headed household are poorer 47.32% and 37.14%. The determinants of poverty include rice cultivated area, age, household size, use of credit, area of upland and education level. It is however recommended that gender consideration should be made a priority in poverty reduction strategies among rice farming households; innovation use should be encouraged; and education should be prioritized

description: Excerpts from the report: The quotation system of pricing eggs has been used extensively by the egg trade for many decades. The Urner family began regular reporting of New York wholesale prices of eggs and several other farm commodities in 1857. Gradually these price reports came to be used regularly by the egg trade as price quotations. Today, large quantities of eggs in many parts of the United States are traded at prices fixed on the basis of the New York wholesale quotations reported by the Urner-Barry Company. Additional large volumes are priced on the basis of quotations established in other central markets. The principal objective of this report is to evaluate tentatively the pricing process for eggs in New York City. A second objective is to describe aspects of market organization and trading in eggs that are related to the pricing system.

description: The present study deals with the development of a wood assisted fungal system (WAFS) from wood chips using Trametes hirsuta to remove polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in BRW. The WAFS exhibited a 1.4-fold higher ligninolytic enzyme production than free fungi in the effluent. Further, to understand PAHs bioremediation by T. hirsuta, biodegradation along with biosorption were studied in model PAHs, phenanthrene (Phe) and benzo (a) pyrene (BaP), in the presence of synthesized rhamnolipids. The WAFS mineralized up to an average of 91.26% Phe and 87.72 % BaP along with biosorption of 12.35% Phe and 18.36 % BaP within 12 days. Thus, the addition of rhamnolipids showed 1.2-fold enhanced biodegradation. However, rhamnolipid concentrations beyond 50 ppm reduced the degradation efficiency of WAFS. Moreover, the degradation capability of total aromatic hydrocarbon (TAH) in biorefinery wastewater by WAFS is 1.8-fold higher than that of free fungi, which confirms the effectiveness of the system. Implications: Simultaneous application of white-rot fungus along with surfactant into a pollutant environment affects the microenvironment of the fungus and reduces the production of their degradative enzymes. In addition, the requirement of periodical supplement of external nutrient in the real-time matrix for the growth of white rot fungi may trigger competitive growth of indigenous microorganisms. Considering this glitch, the current work utilizes the carpenter waste for the strategical develop a wood assisted fungal system to protect the microenvironment of the fungi in the presence of rhamnolipids and contribute to their survival in real time matrix, with enhanced PAHs degradation efficiency.

description: South African trade has been showing a growth increase in recent years, from R221 billion in 2001 to over R906 billion in 2014, which is equivalent to an annual average rate of 13%. The agricultural sector’s exports have increased even more rapidly, recording an annual growth rate of 14% between 2001 and 2014. The European Union (EU) has been South Africa’s traditional export market since the signing of the Trade Development Co-operation Agreement (TDCA) between South Africa and the EU. In recent years, the South African export share has been moving towards the African and Asian markets. The growth towards these markets has been driven by income growth, population growth, the formal retail evolution, and the establishment of new political ties in the East. This paper concludes that South African exports are mainly driven by economic factors, although political relations also complement the export growth.
Insight into monsoon for shaping the air quality of Islamabad, Pakistan: Comparing the magnitude of health risk associated with PM10 and PM2.5 exposure

description: Monsoon plays a determinant role in defining the air quality of many Asian countries. Filter-based 24 h ambient PM10 and PM2.5 sampling was performed by using two paralleled medium volume air samplers during pre-and post-monsoon periods. A negligible change in PM2.5 mass concentration from 45.77 to 44.46 µg/m3 compared to PM10 from 74.34 to 142.49 µg/m3 was observed after the monsoon season. The air quality index (AQI) results showed that the air quality of the city retained from good to slightly polluted in both periods, where PM2.5 remained as the main detrimental to air quality in 95% of the total days. The NOAA HYSPLIT model analysis and wind rose patterns showed air trajectories, especially in post-monsoon originated from relatively polluted areas transported higher PM10. Meteorological attributes indicated a more conducive atmospheric condition for secondary pollution in the pre-monsoon. Evidence showed post-monsoon as a more polluted period, compared to the pre-monsoon and would pose an extra 1.07 × 10−3 lifetime risk to the local population. Similarly, a higher level of PM10 in the post-monsoon caused 43% more premature mortality and 41% more deaths from all-cause mortality compare to the pre-monsoon period, respectively. Implications: Pakistan is an under-developing country where pollution monitoring studies are decidedly limited. Notably, studies, concise PM2.5 and health assessment are deficient. The present study may contribute to evaluating the air quality in special events such as monsoon and can also provide scientific and technical support for subsequent air pollution research. Moreover, the results help to develop adequate prevention and pollution control strategies and offer policy suggestions for monsoon observing countries in general and in particular, in Islamabad, Pakistan. These findings provide essential arguments in favor of educating people and raising awareness about the detrimental health effects of air pollution. Improving the quality of life of people with cardiovascular and respiratory disorders requires an immediate and substantial reduction of air pollution.

description: The quasiparticle band structures of 3d transition metals, ferromagnetic Fe, Ni and paramagnetic Cu, are calculated by the GW approximation. The width of occupied 3d valence band, which is overestimated in the LSDA, is in good agreement with experimental observation. However the exchange splitting and satellite in spectra are not reproduced and it is required to go beyond the GW approximation. The effects of static screening and dynamical correlation are discussed in detail in comparison with the results of the static COHSEX approximation. The dynamical screening effects are important for band width narrowing.

 Diagnosis. Rostrum slightly longer than broad, much deflexed, horns convex above, below and separated for more than half their length, with rows of hooked setae except in mature adults. Carapace rounded, inflated, covered with small, conical tubercles which may be worn in mature adults; juveniles with abundant hooked setae. Stout spine on margin of hepatic region, another just below margin. Preorbital spine large, often double pointed; postorbital spine subconical, acute. Basal antennal segment with anteroexternal spine, tubercle on outer margin; another on anterior margin at insertion of next segment. Chelipeds of adult male large, tuberculate; hand with palm inflated; female with shorter chelipeds, palm not inflated; chela slender, with narrow fingers in juveniles. Pereopods 2–5 subcylindrical, with few tubercles, propodi with grooves above, dactyls short, stout. Male carapace length 190 mm, width 145 mm; female length 114 mm, width 86 mm.
 Color in life. Brown, becoming bluish-gray to chalky white in aging adults; ventral surface white. The color notes are from crabs from San Pedro and Santa Catalina I., California. Stimpson's color notes as given by Garth (1958: 259) surely were of a dead or preserved crab.
 Habitat and depth. Rocks, pilings, subtidal sand flats, sand dollar beds; lowest intertidal zone to 125 m.
 Range. Cordell Bank, California to Thurloe Head, Baja California. Type locality near San Francisco, California.
 Remarks. Juvenile L. grandis usually are almost impossible to detect in their natural habitat. A dense coat of bryozoans, sponges, algae, hydroids, and pieces of gorgonians or other materials covers their bodies. As the animals grow and mature, the hooked setae are lost or worn off. Mature males and females do not decorate at all.
 Divers have seen adult L. grandis congregating into mating "pods" in subtidal areas near the Redondo Submarine Canyon and La Jolla. There is a fishery for them in southern California. Loxorhynchus grandis is the largest and heaviest crab found in California.

description: Although cassava economic and development significance is gaining ground in Nigeria, the smallholding nature of production, processing, marketing and utilization persists. The smallholding and subsistence nature of most agricultural households in Nigeria means that welfare attributes may not be achieved. Operating within the concept of an economic based biomass value web is expected to increase both the productive capacity and food security outcome of the smallholders in the cassava web. The study examined the extent to which smallholders in the cassava system are involved in its biomass value web using a sample of 260 cassava smallholder households selected through a multistage sampling procedure in Edo state, Nigeria. The extent of participation in the value web was done using the composite score method; food security status of households was determined using the Foster, Greer and Thorbecke framework and covariates of food security determined through a probit regression. The results showed only about 28% of the smallholders are high level participants in the value web. While about 84% of the respondents are food insecure; food insecurity level is lowest among high level of participation in the value web. The probit regression shows that increasing levels of participation in the value web, education, and high monthly income increases food security, while household size, marital status and male headed household headship reduces food security. Policy implications suggests provision of infrastructure that help promote multiple involvement in the cassava value web.

description: PySPH is an open-source, Python-based, framework for particle methods in general and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) in particular. PySPH allows a user to define a complete SPH simulation using pure Python. High-performance code is generated from this high-level Python code and executed on either multiple cores, or on GPUs, seamlessly. It also supports distributed execution using MPI. PySPH supports a wide variety of SPH schemes and formulations. These include, incompressible and compressible fluid flow, elastic dynamics, rigid body dynamics, shallow water equations, and other problems. PySPH supports a variety of boundary conditions including mirror, periodic, solid wall, and inlet/outlet boundary conditions. The package is written to facilitate reuse and reproducibility. This paper discusses the overall design of PySPH and demonstrates many of its features. Several example results are shown to demonstrate the range of features that PySPH provides.

description: Soviet archaeological research in southern Turkmenistan revealed a series of small Late Neolithic and Aeneolithic villages strung along the streams that emerge from the Kopet Dag and water the narrow foothill zone separating the mountains from the Kara Kum desert. A commonly accepted premise of their work was that these communities garnered their technological knowledge if not their populations from regions to the south and west in present-day Iran. Since 2010 we have reinvestigated one of these sites, the small Late Neolithic (ca. 6200-5600 BCE) and early Aeneolithic (ca. 4800-4350 BCE) village of Monjukli Depe. Our research examines microhistories of cultural techniques as a source of insights into long-term and spatially extensive change as well as internal variations and similarities in material practices. This volume presents results of this work. A Bayesian modeling of 14C dates demonstrates a long hiatus between the Neolithic and Aeneolithic strata of the site as well as a hitherto unattested very early Aeneolithic phase (“Meana Horizon”). A sequence of densely built, well preserved Aeneolithic houses exhibits marked similarities to earlier Neolithic architecture in the region. Despite overall standardized plans, the houses reveal significant variations in internal features and practices. Similar flexibility within a set of common dispositions is evident in burial practices. Very limited quantities of pottery offer a stark contrast to the frequent occurrence of spindle whorls, indicating a substantial production of thread, and to a large and varied assemblage of clay tokens. A wide variety of fire installations attests to routinized handling of fire, which did not prevent at least one building from succumbing to a conflagration. Animal herding was heavily based on sheep and goats, while cattle figured prominently in feasts. The Meana tradition at Monjukli Depe exhibits significant structural similarities to other early village societies in Western Asia and will make this volume of interest to scholars working on similar times and contexts.

description: The results of ART-P/Granat observations of the X-ray burster SLX1732-304 in the globular cluster Terzan 1 are presented. The X-ray (3-20 keV) fluxes from the source differed by more than a factor of 4 during the observing sessions on September 8 ($F_{\rm X}\simeq6.95\times10^{-10}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$) and October 6, 1990 ($F_{\rm X}\simeq1.64\times10^{-10}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$). The intensity variations of SLX1732-304 were apparently accompanied by variations in its hardness: whereas the source in its high state had the spectrum with a distinct exponential cutoff typical of bright low-mass X-ray binaries, its low-state spectrum could be satisfactorily described by a simple power law with a photon index $α\simeq1.7$. During the ART-P observation on September 8, a type I X-ray burst was detected from SLX1732-304.

description: European legislation continues to drive down emission limit values, making the emission measurement of narrow stacks of increasing importance. However, the applicable standards (EN ISO 16911–1 and EN 15259) are poorly validated for narrow stacks, and the effect of flow disturbances on the described methods are largely unknown. In this article, measurement errors are investigated in narrow stacks with flow disturbances and swirl, both experimentally and through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The results indicate that measurement errors due to misalignment of the flow with typical measuring probes (pitot tubes) are small compared to errors resulting from the positioning of these probes in the measurement plane. Errors up to 15% are reported using the standardized methods, while the measurement error is both smaller and more predictable when using additional measurement points. Implications: Current international standards provide methods to measure emissions from industrial stacks. With increasingly small emission limit values, the accuracy of these measurements is becoming considerably more important. The data from this study can be used to inform revisions of these standards, in particular with respect to flow disturbances in narrow stacks, and can help law- and policy-makers to obtain insight into the uncertainties of emission measurements in these specific situations.

description: Family Cancridae Latreille, 1802  The rock crabs, among the largest species of crabs in California or Oregon, have broad, oval carapaces and strong chelae. The front has several teeth, including a median tooth. The antennules fold back longitudinally. The antennal flagella are short and bear setae, especially in small animals. The third maxillipeds overlap the endostome. In many species, the ventrolateral parts of the body bear dense setae.
 Species of cancrids inhabit both rocky and sandy bottoms, or areas of rocks lying among sand. Metacarcinus magister (Rathbun, 1897) and M. gracilis (Dana, 1852), which usually live on open sand, have especially flattened appendages with long dactyls. Other species tend to have more rounded appendages with shorter dactyls, which often bear stiff setae or spines. Metacarcinus magister is the object of a commercial fishery, primarily from San Francisco, California northward. Natural predators of cancrids include octopuses, large fishes and the sea otter. See Garth & Abbott (1980) for a lengthy account of the natural history of these crabs.
Until recently, the most comprehensive recent work on species of cancrids was that of Nations (1975). New morphological and molecular work by Schweitzer & Feldmann (2000) elevated the subgenera used by Nations to distinct generic status.
The key follows those of Schmitt (1921) and Rathbun (1930), but incorporates the recent changes in generic nomenclature. A carapace is said to be areolated if it displays prominent elevated areas. The guide by Phillips (1939) is useful for identification of larger species.

description: We describe results from our initial study of the diffuse X-ray emission structures in NGC 5128 (Cen A) using the Chandra X-ray Observatory observations. The high-angular resolution Chandra images reveal multi-scale X-ray struct ures with unprecedented detail and clarity. The large scale structures suggest complex symmetry, including a component possibly associated with the inner radio lobes, and a separate component with an orthogonal symmetry that may be associated with the galaxy as a whole. We detect arc-like soft X-ray structures, extending to ~8 kpc in the direction perpendicular to the jet. These arcs appear to be tracing an ellipse, or a ring seen in projection, and ar e enclosed between the dust and HI emitting gas in the central region of the galaxy, and the optical and HI shell fragments at a distance of about 8-10 kpc. The diffuse X-ray and the optical emission in the arcs could originate in a region of interaction (possibly a shock) between the infalling material from the outer regions of the galaxy, and the cool dust and HI emitting material in the center, or an equatorial outflow resulting from an outburst of nuclear activity ~10^7 years ago.

description: The paper constitutes an attempt at comparison of subsidies level in relation to utilised agricultural area, labour force and value of production throughout EU-25 member states in years 2005–2013. The main objective of the paper was assessment of the level of inequalities in agricultural subsidies in European Union and evaluation of their potential trends. Using FADN data aggregated at country level the Gini coefficient was calculated for mentioned dimensions of subsidies level. Additionally sigma and beta convergence analysis were carried out for subsidies and productivity levels. The general conclusion from performed analysis was that famers in EU-10N should now perceive the subsidies level throughout EU quite fair in contrast to 2005, it is especially true in case subsidies per utilised agricultural area with drop of Gini coefficient from 0.23 to 0.15, that is by 35%. On the other hand the productivity levels are converging on much slower pace than subsidies level, for both measures of productivity the beta coefficients in convergence analysis where negative but not significant at standard 5% significance level.
