Abstract:
Pillar design is a crucial aspect of underground mining engineering, as it directly impacts the safety, stability, and overall effectiveness of mining operations. In this paper we present a method to calculate pillar stability based on the strain criterion and pillar load inversion concept, which complements the empirical pillar strength formulae. Those formulae do not account for certain parameters that can affect the stability of the pillars, e.g. weak layers, changes in stress orientations due to mining, orebody dip, mining layout complexity, and the influence of regional stabilizing pillar

Abstract:
The increase in mining depth necessitates higher strength requirements for hard rock pillars, making mine pillar stability analysis crucial for pillar design and underground safety operations. To enhance the accuracy of predicting the stability state of mine pillars, a prediction model based on the subtraction-average-based optimizer (SABO) for hyperparameter optimization of the least-squares support vector machine (LSSVM) is proposed. First, by analyzing the redundancy of features in the mine pillar dataset and conducting feature selection, five parameter combinations were constructed to exam

Abstract:
Most of the definitions of sustainability include three basic pillars: economic, environmental, and social. The economic pillar has always been evaluated but not necessarily in the sense of economic sustainability. On the other hand, the environmental pillar is increasingly being considered, while the social pillar is weakly developed. Focusing on the environmental and social pillars, the use of methodologies to allow a wide assessment of these pillars and the integration of the assessment in a few understandable indicators is crucial.

Abstract:
This Research Brief explores how lacking or inadequate formerly armed actor (FAA) reintegration programming is not only a humanitarian concern but carries global security ramifications, contributing to prolonged violence and instability, extremist resurgence, and transnational threats. The underdeveloped global focus on prevention and risk mitigation among warrants a shift towards recognising attention to FAAs as a global policy imperative. The interconnected nature of security threats necessitates international cooperation and prioritisation for a well-executed and holistic reintegration proc

Abstract:
Saudi Arabia’s mineral sector, long recognized as the third pillar of its economy alongside oil and petrochemicals, is becoming increasingly vital due to the global demand for minerals essential for the clean energy transition. Understanding the domestic and international implications of growing demand for these resources is crucial as the Kingdom seeks to secure developmental and competitive advantages through its mineral wealth. Saudi Arabia’s accelerated exploration programs, supported by extensive geological surveys covering 600,000 km² of the Arabian Shield, aim to unlock commercially via

Abstract:
Amid the signing of various trade agreements defining trade rules and commitments for economies globally, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) both emerged as the largest and latest of them. Dubbed as a comprehensive agreement involving 15 and 11 member economies, respectively, the combined impact of these trade agreements is expected to facilitate deepened integration of its members to the global economy, resulting in global economic growth and poverty alleviation.

Abstract:
This technical note outlines a framework for the analysis of cybersecurity, presenting considerations that are crucial to the success of a holistic and transversal cybersecurity strategy. It describes two essential pieces of the analysis: the broadband ecosystem and the basic terminology and concepts of cybersecurity systems. These two pieces serve as a basis for the introduction and description of five Priority Action Pillars (PAPs), which represent five clear lines of action that any government should embrace and implement in developing an effective cybersecurity strategy. The five PAPs are

Abstract:
Key Points Publicly supported family planning clinics play a crucial role in the health care system, providing essential contraceptive services to millions of people every year. These safety-net clinics have faced several obstacles since 2015, such as the Title X domestic gag rule, the COVID-19 pandemic and the overturning of Roe v. Wade. The proportion of clinics offering a wide range of contraceptive services on-site has remained relatively stable since 2015. However, provision of implants has increased, while the number of clinics offering fertility awareness–based methods and emergency con

La minería es un pilar fundamental para el desarrollo económico de América Latina y el Caribe, especialmente en el contexto de la transición energética global, que ha incrementado la demanda de minerales clave como cobre, litio, niquel, hierro y bauxita, entre otros.

Abstract:
Countries in the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region face escalating challenges from climate change due to geographic location, economic reliance on climate-sensitive sectors, and increasing frequency, intensity, and duration of extreme weather events. Despite international commitments and efforts from LAC countries, current mitigation and adaptation investments are insufficient to avert significant climate impacts. Estimations of financial needs vary significantly depending on the source, ranging between US$228 billion and US$513 billion per year for mitigation, while annual adaptation

Population growth, increasing prosperity and changing consumer habits globally are increasing demand for consumer electronics. Further to this, rapid changes in technology, falling prices, increased affordability and consumer appetite for new products have exacerbated e-waste management challenges and seen millions of tons of electronic devices become obsolete. This rapid literature review collates evidence from academic, policy focussed and grey literature on e-waste value chains.
