Fair Markets and Resilient Supply Chains: Designing Sustainable Intermediation for Rural Communities

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agriculture in Ecuador's communes faces significant economic, social, and environmental challenges, intensified by supply chains dominated by traditional intermediaries. The lack of context‐specific sustainability studies further increases the vulnerability of smallholders.

Three-dimensional coal seam modeling of fully mechanized working face based on transparent geology

open access: yesGong-kuang zidonghua, 2022
The three-dimensional coal seam modeling method based on transparent geology is an effective way to indirectly solve the problem of coal rock identification. Most of the existing three-dimensional coal seam modeling methods focus on the expression of spatial three-dimensional entities. There is a lack of research on the dynamic change of coal seam roof

Animal translations: AI and the intelligibility of non‐human worlds Traduire l'animal : l'IA et l'intelligibilité des mondes non humains

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Amid the general sense of worry that large language models will soon drown out human voices, some researchers are optimistic that machine learning will allow humans to listen to and understand animal voices to an unprecedented extent. As part of a broader project aimed at interspecies communication, a loosely connected set of animal behaviourists, AI ...
