The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the necro populationism of 'climate smart' agriculture
Venue: Gender, Place Culture
Year: 2019

Agricultural and reproductive technologies ostensibly represent opposing poles within discourses on population growth: one aims to 'feed the world, while the other seeks to limit the number of mouths there are to feed. There is, however, an urgent need to critically interrogate new discourses linking population size with climate change and promoting agricultural and reproductive technologies as a means to address associated problems. This article analyses the specific discourses produced by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) in relation to these 'population technologies' and 'climate smart' agriculture in particular. Drawing on concepts and approaches developed by Black, postcolonial and Marxist feminists including intersectionality, racial capitalism, social reproduction, and reproductive and environmental justice, we explore how within these discourses, the 'geo populationism' of the BMGF's climate smart agriculture initiatives, like the 'demo populationism' of its family planning interventions, mobilises neoliberal notions of empowerment, productivity and innovation. Not only do these populationist discourses reinforce neoliberal framings and policies which extend existing regimes of racialised and gendered socio spatial inequality, but they also underwrite global capital accumulation through new science and technologies. The BMGF's representations of its climate smart agriculture initiatives offer the opportunity to understand how threats of climate change are mobilised to reanimate and repackage the Malthusian disequilibrium between human fertility and agricultural productivity. Drawing upon our readings of these discourses, we critically propose the concept of 'necro populationism' to refer to processes that target racialised and gendered populations for dispossession, toxification, slow death and embodied violence, even while direct accountability for the effects of these changes is dispersed. We also identify a need for further research which will not only trace the ways in which the BMGF's global policies are materialised, spatialised, reproduced and reoriented by multiple actors in local contexts, but will also recognise and affirm the diverse forms through which these 'necro populationist' processes are disavowed and resisted.

The Taiwan Independence Movement In and Out of Power
Year: 2016

This book is a study of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) the Taiwan Independence Movement (TIM) and electoral politics in Taiwan during 2000 2012. It consists of two parts: the first part proposes a movement government framework to understand the fluctuating popular support for the DPP government during 2000 2008 when it was in power, and the second part includes a series of studies on the DPP's quick but limited revival during 2008 2012 when it was out of power. For the DPP in and out of power, its strategic relations with the TIM have either promoted or constrained popular support for the DPP under different circumstances. This book reviews the history of the TIM since 1945, its relations with the DPP since 1986, the DPP's strategies in dealing with the TIM, and explains how these strategies have significantly affected the size and composition of the DPP's support base since 2000 by analyzing rich survey data collected during 1996 2013. Theoretically, this book challenges the traditional dichotomous and overly structuralist understanding of state movement relations; empirically, it provides both qualitative and quantitative analysis of Taiwan's major political and social events since 2000, such as presidential and legislative elections, and rise of Taiwanese nationalism.
A sustainable production inventory model for a controllable carbon emissions rate under shortages
Year: 2020

Carbon emissions are the key factor of global warming. Nowadays, some countries have focused on reducing carbon emission. Carbon tax and cap policies are the key mechanism utilized in many countries to achieve this. Keeping this issue in mind, a sustainable economic production quantity (SEPQ) carbon tax and cap model has considered for a controllable carbon emissions rate by investing in green technology (GT) efforts under different with and without shortage situations. This study has three models; a) a sustainable economic production quantity carbon tax and cap model with no shortages; b) a sustainable economic production quantity carbon tax and cap with partial backordering; and c) a sustainable economic production quantity carbon tax and cap with full backordering with and without green technology investment. A solution methodology has been proposed for determining the optimal strategies of cycle time, green technology investment, and the fraction period length in positive inventory level. Several numerical examples have studied to validate the sustainable economic production quantity models. The results of this paper are a sustainable economic production quantity carbon tax and cap partial backlogging case has a better justifiable profit with the highest cycle time and the lowest value of the fraction length period as well as the lower green technology investment cost compared with other models. Finally, sensitivity analysis has provided with the managerial implication of the optimal feasible solution with respect to some key parameters.

Employer branding and multiple identities in the hotel industry
Year: 2018

Service employees have long been seen as the interface between an organisation and its customers. This is particularly the case in the hospitality industry where the actions of the employees are often seen as the manifestation of the brand and the major contributor to the reputation of a hotel. Employees have become the most valuable asset of hotel companies, a company's success will depend greatly on building a work environment that attracts, meets and exceeds employees' expectations.
"Twenty Toea Has No Power Now" Property, Customary Tenure, and pressure on Land Near the Ramu Nickel Project Area, Madang, Papua New Guinea
Year: 2011

Granting customary land tenure to Papua New Guinean citizens was a major step in the unique development of the Nation. Those who promoted it as a policy surely meant to encourage more than a narrow right to alienate, or otherwise dispose of land for minimal economic gain. Yet under pressure from large scale extractive industry, this seems the best that can be hoped for. "Twenty toea has no power now" examines this contemporary reality, one facing customary land owners in the vicinity of the Ramu Nickel development on the Rai Coast. Through attention to current concerns, and the question of whether "land" should be reducible to a simple "economic" asset to be realized through marketing produce or cash cropping, I argue for a deeper investigation of, and commitment to, the principles that make customary tenure viable as a foundation for a vital social form. I suggest that governance regimes that assume property as the natural basis for human sociality do not do enough to recognize or support diverse life ways.
Developing a recommender mechanism for supporting mobile content reuse
Year: 2015

Nowadays people got used to short text answers, likes and shares. Anyone can feel it by entering popular forums or social networks. Modern platforms such as Twitter or Facebook contribute to this situation with their symbols per message limitations. The quality of content produced in such conditions is not high. According to Knight and Burn (2005) "The rapid growth of the Internet and the lack of enforceable standards regarding the information it contains has led to numerous information quality problems."The possible solution to this problem is called mobile digital storytelling. It replaces traditional communication mechanisms (text, photos) with a digital narrative, thus making a stronger impact on user. Besides, it allows creating interesting content at any location with the help of mobile phone.However, it is hard to make a high quality story from scratch without prior experience. Viewing through previously created high quality content provides such experience. At the same time, reusing this content would allow creating story by combining and rearranging instead of producing from scratch. But state of the art mobile digital storytelling applications don't provide any possibilities for content reuse. In addition, the influence of content reuse on the story creation process was not studied.Hence, in this work the researcher will explore and try to develop alternative ways to support content reuse in mobile digital storytelling (mDS) For this purpose a mechanism called RecSM (a recommendation system using content from Social Media) is introduced. The main goal of development is to create RecSM for mobile digital storytelling application. The influence of RecSM on mobile content reuse as well as the influence of reuse on storytelling process is the main study goals.The thesis is based on research conducted in Linnaeus University, Sweden. The research is divided into two main parts: gathering requirements for RecSM and the case study. 10 users are involved in both activities. Initial requirements for RecSM are defined after conducting research in the topic but final requirements are determined with the help of users. Based on them the RecSM is developed and added to a mobile digital storytelling application. A case study in Teleborg Castle (Vaxjo, Sweden) follows afterwards. Participants create stories about their castle experience with the help of mDS or mDS RecSM application. The data for further research is retrieved through field notes, personal interviews and a survey. Then stories and answers of people that used mDS with and without recommender are compared and analyzed. Based on the study outcomes it is concluded that developed RecSM supports content reuse in mobile digital storytelling.
University of California Sustainability: A Multi Criteria Decision Analysis of Distance Learning
Year: 2019

Achieving sustainability in universities is key to achieving a resilient society. Universities educate students, engage local communities, raise awareness about impacts, and encourage the incorporation of sustainability values into society. Faculty research and technology development is solving some of the most critical environmental problems. Recognizing their leadership role, many are now incorporating sustainability goals into their core activities and looking for ways to reduce their own impacts. The University of California (UC) is a leader in efforts to achieve sustainability, setting an aggressive target of carbon neutrality by 2025 (UCOP, n.d. a) Achieving this goal will be challenging given expanded enrollments and targets that seek to eliminate emissions from campus commutes and air travel. Given the scale of impacts from campus energy consumption and transportation, distance education initiatives may prove valuable in achieving sustainability. The primary objective of this study was to develop an expanded analytical framework for evaluating university sustainability programs and policies like distance education and e learning that reduce environmental degradation (represented by CO2e emissions) in a cost effective and socially beneficial manner. I hypothesized in this test case that the direct effect of 10,000 enrolled UC Santa Cruz students completing their undergraduate degree remotely rather than in expanded traditional brick and mortar buildings will help meet state enrollment growth targets while significantly reducing environmental impacts. This shift will help achieve carbon neutrality goals for the campus without moving boundaries to outsource student and operational impacts. Further, I proposed that the social and economic benefits from expanded access will outweigh potential negative impacts. To test this hypothesis, greenhouse gas (GHG) emission models were constructed for a pilot UC campus, Santa Cruz, with existing and proxy foreground data. After calculating the difference between impact categories, it was determined that meeting growth expectations of 10,000 additional students over the next 20 years through expanded distance programs paired with a static but more sustainable campus will be superior to plans to expand the residential and peripheral facilities to educate in a traditional model. The modeling tool developed to demonstrate that the university should significantly increase the development of high quality online/distance programs to achieve long term sustainability can now be applied to other critical sustainability issues like business travel and procurement to demonstrate leadership in identifying net positive initiatives to achieve true sustainability.
A branch population genetic algorithm for dual resource constrained job shop scheduling problem
Venue: Comput. Ind. Eng.
Year: 2016

The branch population can strengthen population diversity and accelerate convergence.The elite evolutionary operator is utilized to optimize search ability.The sector roulette selection operator can decrease the computational complexity.The strategy on compressed time window can improve the scheduling performance.According to the Markov chain theory, BPGA can weakly converge to the Pareto front. The manufacturing systems constrained by both machines and heterogeneous workers are referred to as Dual Resource Constrained (DRC) systems. DRC scheduling problem has attracted more and more attention in recent years. In order to address the Dual Resource Constrained Job Shop Scheduling Problem (DRCJSP) to minimize the makespan and cost, a meta heuristic algorithm named Branch Population Genetic Algorithm (BPGA) is proposed in this paper. The proposed algorithm is a genetic algorithm (GA) based scheduling approach, and it introduces the branch population to accumulate and transfer evolutionary experience of parent chromosomes via pheromone. The branch population can strengthen the population diversity and accelerate convergence. Additionally, several mechanisms are applied to optimize the performance of BPGA. The elite evolutionary operator is utilized to optimize search ability by laying particular emphasis on the evolution of the elite population. The roulette selection operator based on sector segmentation is proposed to decrease the computational complexity and avoid the algorithm prematurity. The scheduling strategy based on compressed time window is proposed to improve the global scheduling performance. In our research, BPGA shows convergence to the Pareto front according to the Markov chain theory. Numerical experiments with randomly generated examples and case studies are analyzed to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm. Computational experiments show BPGA can provide the promising results for the DRCJSP.

Bycatch composition of cutlassfish trawlers during fishing season in Bushehr and Hormozgan, Persian Gulf, Iran.  2275 2282. This investigation was conducted to determine the bycatch composition of cutlassfish (Trichiurus lepturus) trawlers in Bushehr and Hormozgan waters during fishing season 2013. Data collection was carried out in the summer for Bushehr and in the autumn for Hormozgan province for one month. All trawler vessels were equipped with a 36 m head rope and 75 mm stretched mesh size in the codend and 90 to 200 mm stretched mesh size in the panel. 47 species included 35 species of teleosts, 9 species of elasmobranches and 3 species of invertebrates were identified in Bushehr. Also, 48 species included 38 species of teleosts, 7 species of elasmobranches and 3 species of invertebrates were identified in Hormozgan. The weight and numerical averages of bycatch species were 25.41 (kg h 1) and 205.9 (n h 1) in Bushehr, and 92.58 (kg h 1) and 440.4 (n h 1) in Hormozagan. I. megaloptera, S. tumbil, N. japonicus, D. acuta, C. sexfasciatus, L. equulus in Bushehr and P. sextarius, I. megalopteran, M. cinereus, P. macrophthalmus, N. japonicus and S. tumbil in Hormozgan had highest catch weight. Based on the weight and number, PCA and nMDS methods were indicative of two different assemblages in hunting places. Furthermore, ANOSIM similarity analysis confirmed the results of PCA and nMDS and showed a significant difference in the catch composition of two fishing zones.
Methodology for Path Planning and Optimization of Mobile Robots: A Review
Year: 2018

Mobile robotics research is an emerging area since last three decades. The present research on mobile robotics addresses the problems which are mainly on path planning algorithm and optimization in static as well as dynamic environments. A detailed review has been made in the broad field of mobile robotic research especially focussing on the path planning strategy in various cluttered environments, their advantages and disadvantages of each of these strategies/methods have been highlighted. The path planning strategy of mobile robots can be categorised as Classical Methods and Heuristic Methods. Further subcategorized as (i) Analytical Methods, (ii) Enumerative Methods, (iii) Evolutionary Methods and (iv) Meta Heuristic Methods. Each of these aforesaid methods has its own advantages and disadvantages. However, the main weakness arises from the fact that, analytical methods are too complex for intangible applications, whereas the enumerative methods are anxious by the extent of the search space. On the other hand, when search space is too large in path planning strategy, many evolutionary methods have been shown to be ineffective. To overcome these drawbacks, meta heuristic methods have been fascinating considerably in this broad field of research. Many techniques are developed in path planning for mobile robot worldwide, however, the most commonly used techniques are presented here for further study.

Multimedia QoE optimized management using prediction and statistical learning
Venue: IEEE Local Computer Network Conference
Year: 2010

We present a scheme for flow management with heterogeneous access technologies available indoors and in a campus network such as GPRS, 3G and Wi Fi. Statistical learning is used as a key for optimizing a target variable namely video quality of experience (QoE) First we analyze the data using passive measurements to determine relationships between parameters and their impact on the main performance indicator, video Quality of Experience (QoE) The derived weights are used for performing prediction in every discrete time interval of our designed autonomic control loop to know approximately the QoE in the next time interval and perform a switch to another access technology if it yields a better QoE level. This user perspective performance optimization is in line with operator and service provider goals. QoE performance models for slow vehicular and pedestrian speeds for Wi Fi and 3G are derived and compared.
