Abstract:
While previous research on language development has highlighted the facilitating role of gesture (mainly deictic gesture) in children’s early access to meaning, little is known about the possible facilitating role of prosody and also of co-speech gestures in children’s pragmatic development in the preschool years. Previous work on developmental pragmatics has focused on the acquisition of morphosyntactic and lexical forms, and there is a need to adopt a more integrative multimodal perspective. The overarching aim of this thesis is to experimentally investigate, through a set of cross-sectional studies with preschool children (3- to 5-year-olds), whether prosodic and gestural cues serve as pragmatic precursors in the development of two key pragmatic phenomena, namely knowledge state (i.e., commitment to the status of information) and politeness (e.g., broadly speaking, adjusting one’s language). The first study uses a forced-choice paradigm to investigate preschool children’s understanding of another speaker’s knowledge state, presented in audio only, video only and audio-visual formats. Results show that overall children perform significantly better in detecting a speaker’s uncertainty when they have gestural cues present, and, importantly, the younger children were significantly better in detecting a speaker’s uncertainty when listening to a speaker’s intonation contour as compared to uncertainty expressed through a lexical epistemic adverb. The second study analyzes children’s (and adults’) multimodal expression of their knowledge state through an object guessing game by evaluating their production of prosodic, gestural and lexical cues and additionally assessing their self-assessment of their knowledge state. Results show that while preschool children are not yet able to self-report on their knowledge state, in the younger group, children encode their knowledge state through prosodic and gestural means only. And only in the older age group do children start to use a few lexical markers to signal their uncertainty. The third study uses a forced-choice paradigm to assess children’s understanding of a speaker’s politeness presented in audio only, video only and audio-visual formats. Results show that 3-year-old children detect a speaker’s polite stance significantly more through facial cues and intonation, highlighting children’s early ability to extract meaning from intonation when lexical cues are kept the same. Finally, the fourth study explores children’s multimodal production of politeness in semi-spontaneous requests in different sociopragmatic situations. Results show that regardless of the age group, children marked politeness through fine-grained gestural and prosodic means when producing requests to an adult with high social distance as compared to a classmate with low social distance, and this also depends on the cost of the request. Altogether the results of these studies demonstrate that children’s early pragmatic comprehension and expressive abilities rely strongly on prosodic and gestural marking, developing well before children master lexical and morphosyntactic markers. More specifically, the four studies presented in this thesis bring forth evidence that both prosody and co-speech gestures play a precursor role in children’s pragmatic development of knowledge state and politeness. Ultimately, the thesis highlights the importance of approaching the study of children’s pragmatic development from a multimodal perspective.
Tot i que les investigacions prèvies sobre el desenvolupament del llenguatge han destacat el paper facilitador del gest (principalment, del gest díctic o d’assenyalament) en l'accés primerenc dels nens al significat del llenguatge, se sap poc sobre els beneficis de la prosòdia i dels gestos de la parla en el desenvolupament pragmàtic dels nens en els anys preescolars. La recerca que s’ha fet sobre el desenvolupament de la pragmàtica s'ha centrat en l'adquisició de formes morfosintàctiques i lèxiques, però és important adoptar una perspectiva multimodal més integradora. L'objectiu general d'aquesta tesi consisteix a investigar experimentalment, a través de quatre estudis transversals amb nens d’edat preescolar (de 3 a 5 anys d'edat), si els senyals prosòdics i gestuals actuen com a precursors pragmàtics en el desenvolupament de dos fenòmens pragmàtics, concretament el posicionament epistèmic (i.e., el grau de certesa del parlant sobre la informació expressada) i la cortesia. El primer estudi utilitza un paradigma d'elecció forçada per investigar la comprensió dels nens en edat preescolar sobre el posicionament epistèmic d'un altre parlant, presentat en tres condicions (només en àudio, només en vídeo i en format audiovisual). Els resultats mostren que els nens detecten millor la incertesa d'un parlant quan estan exposats a indicis gestuals. Crucialment, els nens de tres anys detecten millor la la incertesa d'un parlant quan la incertesa s'expressa a través de la prosòdia que quan s'expressa a través d’adverbis epistèmics. El segon estudi analitza l'expressió multimodal de l’estat epistèmic dels nens (i dels adults) a través d’un joc d’endevinar objectes. L'anàlisi dels senyals prosòdics, gestuals i lèxics mostren que, mentre els nens d’edat preescolar encara no poden valorar el seu posicionament epistèmic en canvi sí que codifiquen el seu grau de certesa a través de senyals prosòdics i gestuals. Només en el grup d'edat més gran els nens comencen a utilitzar alguns marcadors lèxics. El tercer estudi utilitza un paradigma d'elecció forçada per avaluar la comprensió dels nens sobre la cortesia d'un parlant, presentada també en tres condicions (només en àudio, només en vídeo i en format audiovisual). Els resultats mostren que els nens de 3 anys poden detectar una actitud educada a través de senyals facials i entonatius quan es mantenen constants les marques lèxiques. Els resultats mostren la capacitat inicial dels nens per extreure el significat de l'entonació, de forma paral·lela al que passa amb la gestualitat. Finalment, el quart estudi explora l'expressió multimodal de la cortesia en peticions emprades en diferents situacions sociopragmàtiques. Els resultats mostren que, independentment del grup d'edat, els nens marquen la cortesia a través de senyals gestuals i prosòdics detallats quan es fan peticions a un adult amb més distància social, en comparació amb un company amb qui presenten una distància social menor. L'ús d'aquestes marques també depèn del cost de la petició. En resum, els resultats dels quatre estudis de la tesi demostren que les habilitats primerenques de comprensió i d’expressió pragmàtica es basen en el marcatge prosòdic i gestual. i que aquestes es desenvolupen molt abans que els nens controlin els marcadors lèxics i morfosintàctics. Així, els quatre estudis presentats en aquesta tesi posen de manifest que tant la prosòdia com els gestos de la parla actuen com a precursors en el desenvolupament pragmàtic dels llenguatge. En definitiva, la tesi posa de relleu la importància d’aproximar-se a l'estudi del desenvolupament pragmàtic infantil des d'una perspectiva multimodal.
A pesar de que las investigaciones previas sobre el desarrollo del lenguaje hayan destacado el papel facilitador del gesto (principalmente, del gesto deíctico o de señalamiento) en el acceso temprano de los niños al significado del lenguaje, poco se sabe aún sobre los beneficios de la prosodia y de los gestos del habla en el desarrollo pragmático de los niños en etapa preescolar. Hasta ahora, las investigaciones sobre el desarrollo de la pragmática se han centrado en la adquisición de formas morfosintácticas y léxicas, haciéndose necesario adoptar una perspectiva multimodal más integradora. El objetivo general de esta tesis consiste en investigar experimentalmente —a través de cuatro estudios transversales con niños de edad preescolar (de 3 a 5 años de edad)— si las señales prosódicas y gestuales actúan como precursores en el desarrollo de dos fenómenos pragmáticos, concretamente del posicionamiento epistémico (i.e., del grado de certeza del hablante sobre la información expresada) y de la cortesía. El primer estudio utiliza un paradigma de elección forzada para investigar cómo los niños en edad preescolar comprenden el posicionamiento epistémico de otro hablante, presentado los estímulos en tres condiciones (solo en audio, solo en vídeo y en formato audiovisual). Los resultados muestran que los niños detectan mejor la incertidumbre de un hablante cuando están expuestos a indicios gestuales. Crucialmente, los resultados también muestran que los niños de tres años detectan mejor la incertidumbre de un hablante cuando esta viene expresada a través de la prosodia que cuando lo hace a través de adverbios epistémicos. El segundo estudio analiza la expresión multimodal del estado epistémico de los niños (y de los adultos) a través de un juego de adivinar objetos. El análisis de las señales prosódicas, gestuales y léxicas muestra que, aunque los niños en edad preescolar todavía no pueden valorar su posicionamiento epistémico, los del grupo de menor edad ya son capaces de codificar su grado de certeza a través de señales prosódicas y gestuales, mientras que solo los niños del grupo de mayor edad empiezan a utilizar algunos marcadores léxicos. El tercer estudio utiliza también un paradigma de elección forzada para evaluar la comprensión de los niños sobre la cortesía de un hablante, presentado también los estímulos en tres condiciones (solo en audio, solo en vídeo y en formato audiovisual). Los resultados muestran que los niños de 3 años son capaces de detectar una actitud cortés significativamente mejor a través de señales faciales y entonativas, destacando además la capacidad temprana de los niños para extraer el significado de la entonación cuando las marcas léxicas se mantienen constantes. Finalmente, el cuarto estudio investiga la expresión multimodal de la cortesía en peticiones realizadas en diferentes situaciones socio-pragmáticas. Los resultados muestran, por un lado, que, independientemente del grupo de edad, los niños marcan la cortesía a través de señales gestuales y prosódicas diferenciadas en función de si las peticiones van dirigidas hacia un adulto con el que mantienen una mayor distancia social, o bien hacia un compañero con quien la distancia social es menor. Además, los resultados también muestran que el uso de estas marcas también depende del coste de la petición. En resumen, los resultados de los cuatro estudios de esta tesis demuestran que las habilidades tempranas de la comprensión y expresión de significados pragmáticos se basan en el marcaje prosódico y gestual, y que, además, estas habilidades se desarrollan mucho antes de que los niños dominen los marcadores léxicos y morfosintácticos. De este modo, los cuatro estudios presentados en esta tesis ponen de manifiesto que tanto la prosodia como los gestos del habla actúan como precursores en el desarrollo pragmático del lenguaje, subrayando así la necesidad de aproximarse al estudio del desarrollo pragmático infantil desde una perspectiva multimodal.

Abstract:
Essential metals like Ca2+ and Zn2+ play critical roles in biological processes through protein interactions. Conversely, non-essential metals (e.g., Gd3+ and Pb2+) also interact with proteins, often with toxic effects. Molecular metal toxicity is assumed to be due to ionic displacement, and studies have demonstrated that Pb2+ replaces Zn2+, Ca2+ and other essential metals in proteins. The focus of this work was to compare protein Ca2+ and Pb2+ -binding sites and to investigate a mechanism of Pb2+ toxicity in Ca2+-binding proteins, particularly the intracellular trigger protein calmodulin (CaM) which binds four Ca2+ ions and interacts with numerous molecular targets via Ca2+-induced conformational change. A statistical analysis of PDB structural data for Pb2+ and Ca2+-binding (EF-hand and non-EF-hand) proteins revealed fewer binding ligands in Pb2+ sites (4 ± 2), than non-EF-Hand (6 ± 2) and EF-Hand (7 ± 1) Ca2+-binding sites. Pb2+ binds predominantly with sidechain Glu (38.4%), which is less prevalent in both non-EF-Hand (10.4%) and EF-Hand (26.6%) sites. Interestingly, analyses of proteins where Pb2+ replaces Ca2+ (calmodulin) or Zn2+ (5-aminolaevulinic acid dehydratase) revealed structural changes presumably unrelated to ionic displacement. These results suggested that Pb2+ adopts diverse binding geometries and that opportunistic binding outside of known Ca2+-binding sites may play a role in molecular metal toxicity. Ca2+-binding affinities (Kd) using phenylalanine and tyrosine fluorescence were found to be 1.15 ± 0.68 X 10-5 M and 2.04 ± 0.02 X 10-6 M for the N- and C-terminal domains, respectively. The Kd for Pb2+-binding in the N-terminal domain, 1.40 ± 0.30 X 10-6 M, was 8-fold higher than Ca2+. Binding of Pb2+ in the C-terminal domain produced a biphasic response with Kd values 7.34 ± 0.95 X 10-7 M and 1.93 ± 0.32 X 10-6 M, suggesting a single higher affinity Pb2+-binding site in the C-terminal domain with nearly equivalent affinity for the remaining sites. Competitive effects of Pb2+ added to Ca2+-loaded CaM were examined using multiple NMR techniques. Pb2+ was found to displace Ca2+ only in the N-terminal domain, however structural/dynamic changes were observed in the central helix apparently due to Pb2+-binding in secondary sites. These data supported our hypothesis that CaM structure and function is altered by opportunistic Pb2+-binding.

Abstract:
This thesis describes a new type of refractive lens for hardx-rays. It is shown that a linear array of prisms, slightlyinclined with respect to the optical axis, will form a linefocus at a certain distance from the lens. Hence, the namemulti-prism lens. These lenses are free from sphericalaberration and are similar to planar parabolic compoundrefractive lenses in terms of performance. However, theydistinguish themselves in that only planar surfaces need to befabricated. A special feature is that the focal length can beeasily varied by adjusting the inclination angle. Theoretical calculations, based on geometrical and physicaloptics, are used to characterize the lenses. Aberrations arediscussed, as well as the sensitivity to fabricationimperfections, and insufficient flatness is identified as apotential problem. Ray-tracing is used to test theapproximations and assumptions used in the theory. Applicationsin x-ray microscopy and mammography are discussed. Lenses have been made of beryllium, silicon, epoxy anddiamond using different methods. Results from measurements ofsurface roughness and figure error show that the imperfectionsof the silicon and epoxy lenses should have a small impact,while the beryllium lenses should suffer from strongscattering. Experiments were performed at the EuropeanSynchrotron Radiation Facility and sub-µm focal linewidths, close to theoretical expectations, were measured forsilicon and epoxy lenses at 30 keV and 14 keV, respectively.Insertion gains up to 40 were reached. Two crossed lenses wereused to obtain focusing in two dimensions and a point focus.The smallest measured focal spot size was 1.0 µm by 5 .4µm, and an insertion gain exceeding 100 was achieved usingepoxy lenses. The diamond lenses suffered from voids in the materialformed in the chemical vapor deposition process, butnevertheless provided focal lines less than 2 µm in width,albeit at at relatively low insertion gain of 13. Due to theirexcellent thermal properties, these lenses are put forward ascandidates for optics at the next generationultra-high-intensity synchrotron beams and x-ray free electronlasers. Keywords:x-ray, optics, refractive, lens, mammography,synchrotron.

Abstract:
Optimal packaging problems occur in many industries and lend themselves to be analyzed by computer-based approaches due to their fast and effective solutions. Unlike other packaging in commercial industries, turret packaging has been done mainly by hand because positioning equipment within the turret with crew is hard to be automated. However, recent development of automated ammunition loading system makes crew unnecessary in turret and this makes it possible to automate the packaging process. This paper introduces a computational methodology that uses genetic algorithms as a search algorithm and solves tank turret packaging problems by integrating part placements with performance analysis of design requirements.

Full text
Abstract:
In line with recent work on belief change in fragments of propositional logic, we study belief update in the Horn fragment. We start from the standard KM postulates used to axiomatize belief update operators; these postulates lend themselves to semantic characterizations in terms of partial (resp. total) preorders on possible worlds. Since the Horn fragment is not closed under disjunction, the standard postulates have to be adapted for the Horn fragment. Moreover, a restriction on the preorders (i.e., Horn compliance) and additional postulates are needed to obtain sensible characterizations for the Horn fragment, and this leads to our main contribution: a representation result which shows that the class of update operators captured by Horn compliant partial (resp. total) preorders over possible worlds is precisely that given by the adapted and augmented Horn update postulates. With these results at hand, we provide concrete Horn update operators and are able to shed light on Horn revision operators based on partial preorders.

Full text
Abstract:
Whether to repair or replace gas turbine components has always been an issue. The case for repair has always been viewed with skepticism, especially when those parts to be repaired must be done by hand, as manual repair methods can result in high levels of scrap and non-conformance. Hand grinding, blending and polishing is still frequently found in many Gas Turbine (GT) components, but in this age of high technology, why is this the case? The problem lies with the fact that individual blades and vanes that make up full engine sets are not geometrically identical and do not lend themselves to being machined, blended or polished by standard Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) machining technology. This is a problem for both the repair and manufacture sectors. Key Questions: • Where does this geometric variability come from and what does this mean in practice? • As the industry strives for more efficient engines blades and vanes have become increasingly complex. How does this impact the repair sector? • What are the key issues involved and how can we get around them? • What can repairers do to reduce their scrap rates and increase their output volume and quality? Software-based machining strategies are explored as an alternative to manual processes in the repair of GT components. With ever-increasing competition and reduced turnaround times, decisions to invest in technology are usually driven by a combination of technical, quality, economic and health & safety requirements.

The Army is interested in sensors capable of characterizing/monitoring the environment (battlefield or military training ranges) at proximal distances. Recently, we evaluated laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) systems (hand-held, proximal, and bench top) for the characterization of metals (antimony, copper, lead, tungsten, and zinc) in soils obtained from military training ranges. We then compared the results to findings obtained with standard field and laboratory instrumentation for metals analysis -X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) and Inductively Couple Plasma- Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES).

Full text
Abstract:
For many decades in Tunisia, there has been a robust link between natural resource management and contentious national and local politics. These disputes manifest in the form of protests, sit-ins, the disruption of production and distribution and legal suits on the one hand, and corporate and government response using coercive and concessionary measures on the other. Residents of resource-rich areas and their allies protest the inequitable distribution of their local natural wealth and the degradation of their health, land, water, soil and air. They contest a dynamic that tends to bring greater benefit to Tunisia’s coastal metropolitan areas. Natural resource exploitation is also a source of livelihoods and the contentious politics around them have, at times, led to somewhat more equitable relationships. The most important actors in these contentious politics include citizens, activists, local NGOs, local and national government, international commercial interests, international NGOs and multilateral organisations. These politics fit into wider and very longstanding patterns of wealth distribution in Tunisia and were part of the popular alienation that drove the uprising of 2011. In many ways, the dynamic of the contentious politics is fundamentally unchanged since prior to the uprising and protests have taken place within the same month of writing of this paper. Looking onto this scene, commentators use the frame of margins versus centre (‘marginalization’), and also apply the lens of labour versus capital. If this latter lens is applied, not only is there continuity from prior to 2011, there is continuity with the colonial era when natural resource extraction was first industrialised and internationalised. In these ways, the management of Tunisia’s natural wealth is a significant part of the country’s serious political and economic challenges, making it a major factor in the street politics unfolding at the time of writing.

Abstract:
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a rapid, low-cost analytical method with potential applications for quantitative analysis of soils for heavy metal contaminants found in military ranges. The Department of Defense (DoD), Army, and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have mission requirements to acquire the ability to detect and identify chemicals of concern in the field. The quantitative potential of a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hand-held LIBS device and a classic laboratory bench-top LIBS system was examined by measuring heavy metals (antimony, tungsten, iron, lead, and zinc) in soils from six military ranges. To ensure the accuracy of the quantified results, we also examined the soil samples using other hand-held and bench-top analytical methods, to include Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) and X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF). The effects of soil heterogeneity on quantitative analysis were reviewed with hand-held and bench-top systems and compared multivariate and univariate calibration algorithms for heavy metal quantification. In addition, the influence of cold temperatures on signal intensity and resulting concentration were examined to further assess the viability of this technology in cold environments. Overall, the results indicate that additional work should be performed to enhance the ability of LIBS as a reliable quantitative analytical tool.

for Development Programme, Knowledge. Using Indices to Capture Vulnerability for Development Finance in SIDS. Institute of Development Studies (IDS), April 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2021.066.

Full text
Abstract:
This rapid review examines evidence on indices to capture vulnerability for development finance in Small Island Developing States (SIDS). A key issue when it comes to aid allocation to Small Island Developing States (SIDS) is whether current measures of development – such as income per capita - are truly able to reflect the unique set of challenges that these countries face. Inability to accurately measure development in SIDS can lead to substantial risk. On the one hand, aid allocation that solely relies on income levels may result in an unsustainable reduction in external support to SIDS, leaving them to face high levels of economic, environmental, and social vulnerability. On the other hand, an inadequate measure of vulnerability can lead to no clear pathway to the reduction in aid, making it very improbable for SIDS to become self-reliant, no matter how far they develop or climb the income ladder. This aim of this paper is twofold. The first is to look at whether vulnerability indices can help determine the levels of external support SIDS need. The second is to consider how this can help in determining when support can be reduced or terminated. This is achieved by considering the different indices that international organisations and multilateral development banks use to capture the vulnerability of SIDS, how they use these indices to determine thresholds for aid allocation, and the advantages and disadvantages of applying each.

Full text
Abstract:
This thematic paper deals with integration policies concerning persons who aregranted international protection in EU Member States. It acknowledges that there are two general trends in integration policies - a civic turn and a local turn. The civic turn implies more integration requirements for migrants, decided upon by the state, that have an impact on the legal status of migrant newcomers. On the other hand, the local turn implies less national involvement with cities instead handling more of the integration policies, including funding and policy measures. The paper then describes four different models for the integration of beneficiaries of international protection: a national government-led model, a project based/multilevel governance model, a laissez-faire model, and a NGO-led model.

Full text
Abstract:
There is increasing interest in the question of how different stakeholders develop, implement and lead regional upgrading processes with the concept of place leadership emerging as one response to this. Simultaneously, universities face growing expectations that they will contribute to regional development processes – often through their collaborative relationships with other regional stakeholders. But universities are complex in terms of their internal and institutional structures, which undermines their capacities to enact coherent place leadership roles. We seek to understand how strategic leadership in universities can contribute to innovation and regional development in the context of the fundamental institutional complexity of universities. We address this through a qualitative, explorative case study comparing six European regions where universities have sincerely attempted to deliver place leadership roles. We identify that the elements of agency and alignment are vital in that: firstly, university leadership has to align with regional coalitions on the one hand and internal structures on the other hand, and secondly, this leadership must give individuals agency in their regional engagement activities.

Full text
Abstract:
Since first appearing at the end of 2019, the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has spread at a pace and scale not seen before. On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic. A rapid response was called for, and actors across the globe worked quickly to develop sets of preventative measures to contain the disease. One mode of transmission identified early on in the crisis was via surfaces and objects (fomites) (Howard et al. 2020). To combat this, hand hygiene was put forward as a key preventative measure and heralded as ‘the first line of defence against the disease’ (World Bank 2020). What followed was an unprecedented global focus on handwashing with soap. Health messages on how germs spread, the critical times at which hands should be washed, and methods for correct handwashing were shared (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2020). Political leaders around the world promoted handwashing and urged people to adopt the practice to protect against the coronavirus. The primary and secondary impacts of COVID-19 have affected people and industries in a variety of different ways. For the WASH sector, the centring of handwashing in the pandemic response has led to a sudden spike in hygiene activity. This SLH Rapid Topic Review takes stock of some of the cross-cutting challenges the sector has been facing during this period and explores the adaptations that have been made in response. It then looks forwards, thinking through what lies ahead for the sector, and considers the learning priorities for the next steps.

Bano, Masooda, and Zeena Oberoi. Embedding Innovation in State Systems: Lessons from Pratham in India. Research on Improving Systems of Education (RISE), December 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.35489/bsg-rise-wp_2020/058.

Full text
Abstract:
The learning crisis in many developing countries has led to searches for innovative teaching models. Adoption of innovation, however, disrupts routine and breaks institutional inertia, requiring government employees to change their way of working. Introducing and embedding innovative methods for improving learning outcomes within state institutions is thus a major challenge. For NGO-led innovation to have largescale impact, we need to understand: (1) what factors facilitate its adoption by senior bureaucracy and political elites; and (2) how to incentivise district-level field staff and school principals and teachers, who have to change their ways of working, to implement the innovation? This paper presents an ethnographic study of Pratham, one of the most influential NGOs in the domain of education in India today, which has attracted growing attention for introducing an innovative teaching methodology— Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) – with evidence of improved learning outcomes among primary-school students and adoption by a number of states in India. The case study suggests that while a combination of factors, including evidence of success, ease of method, the presence of a committed bureaucrat, and political opportunity are key to state adoption of an innovation, exposure to ground realities, hand holding and confidence building, informal interactions, provision of new teaching resources, and using existing lines of communication are core to ensuring the co-operation of those responsible for actual implementation. The Pratham case, however, also confirms existing concerns that even when NGO-led innovations are successfully implemented at a large scale, their replication across the state and their sustainability remain a challenge. Embedding good practice takes time; the political commitment leading to adoption of an innovation is often, however, tied to an immediate political opportunity being exploited by the political elites. Thus, when political opportunity rather than a genuine political will creates space for adoption of an innovation, state support for that innovation fades away before the new ways of working can replace the old habits. In contexts where states lack political will to improve learning outcomes, NGOs can only hope to make systematic change in state systems if, as in the case of Pratham, they operate as semi-social movements with large cadres of volunteers. The network of volunteers enables them to slow down and pick up again in response to changing political contexts, instead of quitting when state actors withdraw. Involving the community itself does not automatically lead to greater political accountability. Time-bound donor-funded NGO projects aiming to introduce innovation, however large in scale, simply cannot succeed in bringing about systematic change, because embedding change in state institutions lacking political will requires years of sustained engagement.

Brooks, Amy, Jenna Jambeck, and Eliana Mozo-Reyes. Plastic Waste Management and Leakage in Latin America and the Caribbean. Inter-American Development Bank, November 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0002873.

Full text
Abstract:
As of 2017, 8.3 billion metric tons of plastic had been produced worldwide. Since about 40% is used in things that are thrown away relatively quickly (packaging and single use items), 6.4 billion metric tons had already become discarded materials needing to be managed. Only 9% of these discarded materials were recycled globally. The annual estimate of plastic entering our oceans globally is 5 to 13 million metric tons (MMT) per year. Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) has an extensive populated coast, 119,000 km of coastline and over 205 million people living within 50 km of that coastline. Waste management infrastructure is still under development in many countries. Economic growth without fully developed infrastructure can lead to increased plastic leakage. This report focuses on municipal solid waste as a source of plastic input into the environment in LAC. The reports estimates that total plastic waste available to enter the ocean in LAC in 2020 was 3.7 MMT . Under business-as-usual projections, the report anticipates that the regional quantity available to enter the oceans in 2030 will be 4.1 MMT and 4.4 MMT in 2050.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper presents the results of two mobile phone surveys conducted by the Asian Development Bank among farmers in Punjab and Sindh provinces in Pakistan in mid-2020 during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The surveys collected information about how COVID-19-related measures and economic and transport disruptions affected farmers’ harvests, marketing efforts, input prices, and financial needs. The surveys found that the COVID-19 pandemic had significant negative impacts on farm households in both provinces. The paper provides additional context on COVID-19-related effects on local and regional economies and food supply chains. It also covers a simultaneous locust invasion along the India–Pakistan border, which has created “crisis within a crisis” in the surveyed provinces and exacerbated conditions that could lead to famine, disease, and increased poverty.
