VARIATION IN DISTRIBUTING AGRICULTURAL INCOME (A STUDY IN RURAL POVERTY) “DEVELOPING STATES FOR THE YEAR 2003” AS AN EXAMPLE [PDF]

Mesopotamia Journal of Agriculture, 2008
The importance of the research comes to show the effect of variation in income distribution upon the rates of agricultural product in selective developing countries for the years 2003 by applying a hypothesis which says that poverty may lead to more ...

Data‐driven analysis of the spatial dependence of grouting efficiency during tunnel excavation

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Prediction of grouting efficiency using machine learning is enhanced by adopting a training strategy that accounts for the grouting process across multiple rounds. Abstract Grouting with water–cement mixtures is the most widely used and cost‐effective method for managing excess water inflow during tunnel construction.

Exploring the Relationship Between Rescue Service Response Times, Citizen Satisfaction and Ownership of Fire Safety Equipment in Sweden

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how rescue service response times and staffing solutions relate to both citizen satisfaction with rescue services and the adoption of individual fire safety measures in Sweden. Data were drawn from Statistics Sweden's satisfaction index, rescue service response times from KOLADA, and survey data from the Swedish Civil ...

Non‐Invasive Detection of Foreign Matter Embedded Inside Egg Fried Rice Using Hyperspectral Transmittance Imaging

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
HSTI is a powerful tool for detecting FM within EFR. The study compares spectral ranges, light intensity, and classification models, showing that FM is most effectively identified with 110 W light intensity in the VNIR system using MLP. Pseudo‐color maps enable precise localization and contouring of FM in EFR.

Measuring inequality in a cross-tabulation with ordered categories: from the Gini coefficient to the Tog coefficient [PDF]

, 2000
This paper introduces the Tog coefficient, which can be used to measure the level of inequality in a cross-tabulation of two ordinal-level variables. The Gini coefficient is a standard measure of income inequality which has been adapted by other authors ...

A Novel Approach to Regionalize Country‐Level GDP Projections

Journal of Forecasting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Socioeconomic projections are policy support tools that are often limited to country‐level data, making them insufficient for policy areas that require a more nuanced, sub‐national perspective. For granular geographical analyses in a multicountry setting, international organizations often rely on straightforward regionalization techniques ...

A Rethink on Measuring Health Inequalities Using the Gini Coefficient [PDF]

Objective- We show that a standardized Gini coefficient that takes into account the feasible range of health inequality for a given health attribute is a better instrument than the normal Gini coefficient for quantifying inter-individual health ...

How Important Is Pay and What Are the Effects (Positive and Negative) of Pay for Performance?: Evaluating Claims and Evidence

Human Resource Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Compensation plays a pivotal role in shaping employee behavior, motivation, and well‐being. Although extant research has explored various dimensions of compensation, questions about how important pay is to employees and concerns (on the part of employers and/or employees) about the unintended negative (in addition to intended positive ...
