The Politics of Agrarian Law in the Idea of Forming A Special Agrarian Court

Journal of Law, Politic and Humanities
The idea of a special agrarian court is really needed considering that up to now, various agrarian disputes or conflicts have not yet had a definite resolution. Agrarian is a field of science that has specificities, so it is not uncommon for problems regarding agrarian to be complex, because in one object the agrarian conflict may be related to several

Adaptive Macroscopic Ensemble Allocation for Robot Teams Monitoring Spatiotemporal Processes

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We propose an online, environment feedback‐driven macroscopic ensemble approach to adapt robot team task allocation in spatiotemporal environments by controlling robot populations rather than assigning individual robots, all while maintaining robust team performance even for small teams. Our simulation and experimental results show better or comparable

James Harrington and the English Agrarian Law

History of Political Thought
It is typically understood that the first explicit advocacy of agrarian laws in early modern English political thought was made by James Harrington in the 1650s. This narrative, however, has overlooked the Tudor Statutes of Tillage (originating 1489–90), which aimed at maintaining a broad distribution of landholding and were identified by both ...

Material‐Based Intelligence: Autonomous Adaptation and Embodied Computation in Physical Substrates

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This perspective formulates a unifying framework for Material‐Based Intelligence (MBI), defining the physical requirements for materials to achieve embodied action, active memory and embodied information processing through intrinsic nonequilibrium dynamics. The design of intelligent materials often draws parallels with the complex adaptive behaviors of

Seeds of change: The impact of Ethiopia's direct seed marketing approach on smallholders' seed purchases and productivity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market

Redistributive land reforms, agricultural productivity, and structural change: New cross‐national evidence

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Large‐scale land reforms constitute a substantial redistribution of wealth and reallocation of agricultural land, which is a major form of asset and production input in developing countries. While land redistribution (from the rich to the poor) remains a highly controversial issue, extensive evidence on its effect is limited.

Agrarian law: judicial autonomy or methodological justification?

Santiago, 2016
At the present time the agricultural sector has great importance in the economic development in Cuba for their contributions to food security, industry, services and exportaciones, so it is necessary to promote studies directed to the legal framework governing the agricultural activity in order to achieve proper development and efficiency.
