A Combined Theory of Change-Group Model Building Approach to Evaluating “Farm to Fork” Models for School Feeding in the Caribbean

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2022
There is a scarcity of research on building nutrition-sensitive value chains (NSVCs) to improve diets and nutrition outcomes of populations in the Caribbean.

Scripts for group model building [PDF]

System Dynamics Review, 1997
Building models directly with client groups has become increasingly common in the field of system dynamics. For the past nine years, the modeling group at the University at Albany has been experimenting with techniques handling the complex modeling and facilitation processes involved in group work.

Application of systems dynamics and group model building to identify barriers and facilitators to acute care delivery in a resource limited setting

BMC Health Services Research, 2021
Background Group model building (GMB) is a method to facilitate shared understanding of structures and relationships that determine system behaviors. This project aimed to determine the feasibility of GMB in a resource-limited setting and to use GMB to ...

Group-Theoretical Aspects of Orbifold and Conifold GUTs [PDF]

, 2003
Motivated by the simplicity and direct phenomenological applicability of field-theoretic orbifold constructions in the context of grand unification, we set out to survey the immensely rich group-theoretical possibilities open to this type of model ...

Investigating the Socio-Economic and Livelihoods Impacts of African Swine Fever in Timor-Leste: An Application of Spatial Group Model Building

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Small-scale pig farming is highly important to the economic and social status of households in Timor-Leste. The presence of an African Swine Fever (ASF) outbreak in Timor-Leste was confirmed in 2019, a major concern given that around 70% of agricultural ...

A system science perspective on burn-out: development of an expert-based causal loop diagram

Frontiers in Public Health, 2023
IntroductionBurn-out leads to reduced worker well-being, long-term absenteeism, and high costs for employers and society. Determinants at different levels may affect burn-out in an interrelated and dynamic manner.

Models of Particle Physics from Type IIB String Theory and F-theory: A Review [PDF]

, 2012
We review particle physics model building in type IIB string theory and F-theory. This is a region in the landscape where in principle many of the key ingredients required for a realistic model of particle physics can be combined successfully.

Group Model Building: A Systematic Review of the Literature

Türk Turizm Araştırmaları Dergisi, 2021
System dynamics is a method for the model building of complex socioeconomic phenomena. One of the important sources of information is the mental model. Group model building was devised to extract mental models. Since this modeling method was proposed for

Using Group Model Building to Understand Factors That Influence Childhood Obesity in an Urban Environment [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Despite increased attention, conventional views of obesity are based upon individual behaviors, and children and parents living with obesity are assumed to be the primary problem solvers.
