Land Degradation &Development, Volume 29, Issue 10, Page 3639-3652, October 2018., 2018 Abstract This paper argues that a systems' thinking and explicit modeling approach is needed to address noted weaknesses (in terms of practicality and usefulness) in integrated water resource management. A process of coupling complex regional land use, economy, and water system interactions in integrated modeling is demonstrated with proof‐of‐concept ...

From leprosy to ground zero: Imagining futures in a world of elimination
Medical Anthropology Quarterly, Volume 39, Issue 4, December 2025.Abstract Achieving a target of zero—zero disease, zero disability, and zero discrimination—has become the dominant focus of campaigns to control or eliminate diseases, from HIV/AIDS to malaria to leprosy. Given the historical failure of most eradication programs over the last century, such teleological imaginings of disease‐free futures might seem ...

Complexity of a Microblogging Social Network in the Framework of Modern Nonlinear Science
Complexity, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 Recent developments in nonlinear science have caused the formation of a new paradigm called the paradigm of complexity. The self‐organized criticality theory constitutes the foundation of this paradigm. To estimate the complexity of a microblogging social network, we used one of the conceptual schemes of the paradigm, namely, the system of key signs of

Empirical Analysis and Agent‐Based Modeling of the Lithuanian Parliamentary Elections
Complexity, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 We analyze a parties’ vote share distribution across the polling stations during the Lithuanian parliamentary elections of 1992, 2008, and 2012. We find that the distribution is rather well fitted by the Beta distribution. To reproduce this empirical observation, we propose a simple multistate agent‐based model of the voting behavior.
