Landmines and Spatial Development

Econometrica, Volume 93, Issue 5, Page 1739-1778, September 2025.
Landmines affect the lives of millions in many conflict‐ridden communities long after the end of hostilities. However, there is little research on the role of demining. We examine the economic consequences of landmine removal in Mozambique, the only country to transition from heavily contaminated in 1992 to mine‐free in 2015. First, we present the self‐

Attitudes Toward ESG Reporting in a Crisis Economy: Insights From Interviews With Ukrainian Agricultural Enterprises

Business Strategy &Development, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2025.
ABSTRACT This article explores how ESG reporting practices evolve in high‐risk, low‐institutional contexts by examining Ukrainian agricultural enterprises operating under conditions of war, economic instability, and EU integration pressures. Drawing on semi‐structured interviews, we show that, unlike highly institutionalized ESG models in the Global ...

A Biologically Based Chemo-Sensing UAV for Humanitarian Demining

International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2007
Antipersonnel mines, weapons of cheap manufacture but lethal effect, have a high impact on the population even decades after the conflicts have finished. Here we investigate the use of a chemo-sensing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (cUAV) for demining tasks. We

3D hybrid path planning for optimized coverage of agricultural fields: A novel approach for wheeled robots

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 42, Issue 2, Page 455-473, March 2025.
Abstract Over the last few decades, the agricultural industry has made significant advances in autonomous systems, such as wheeled robots, with the primary objective of improving efficiency while reducing the impact on the environment. In this context, determining a path for the robot that optimizes coverage while taking into account topography, robot ...
