Abstract:
The three essays in this forum examine the ways in which individuals have sought to reconcile sociocultural differences between those at the fringes of American society and those at the center. Two concepts embody this effort. One is the bridge concept—the idea that those with dual identities would serve as links between the two sociocultural worlds. The other concept, that of the cultural broker, refers to someone who actively seeks to mediate the differences between the two groups. The essays in this cluster use the two concepts to analyze the ways in which individuals in three disparate places—the American West (California), a U.S. colony across the Pacific (the Philippines), and the American Southwest (New Mexico)—served as bridges and brokers in their efforts to negotiate the imbalance of power between dominant and subordinate groups.

Abstract:
The stereotype of the ethnographic research assistant as marginal figure, ‘inside’ enough to facilitate access but ‘outside’ enough to broker worlds of understanding, has likely always been a fiction. But as qualitative researchers increasingly focus on unfolding events in unstable places, research collaborators are even less likely to be the ambiguous figures of legend. To conduct research in violent environments, researchers often find that they must rely on individuals who are central to the unfolding story of conflict. This piece explores the implications of one such relationship. In the exchange recorded here we examine what it means for ethnographers and participant/research assistants to collaborate on a project of ‘frontline’ anthropology. Through our own experiences during and after the war in Sierra Leone and Liberia, we focus on the ethics of ethnographic access and the problems associated with constructing ethnographic histories.

Abstract:
This paper analyzes the case study of the worlds largest nickel producer: Tsingshan Hold-ing Groups $8 Billion trading loss. We examine Tsingshans trading position before and after the surge in nickel prices to better understand the rationale behind their decision to short 200,000 tons of nickel futures mostly on the London Metal Exchange. Moreover, this paper outlines the impact of Tsingshans trading loss on their various stakeholders. For in-stance, the rise of almost 250% in nickel futures resulted in the LME suspending all nickel trading on March 8th 2022 meanwhile creating a large liquidity crisis for the LME. On the other hand, Tsingshans broker China Construction Bank Corp and their largest counterpar-ty JP Morgan Chase provided large sums of loan packages so that Tsingshan could avoid defaulting on meeting their margin calls. We concluded that the case study revealed vari-ous underlying issues. One was the failure of LMEs ability to regulate OTC trading, and the second was Tsingshans poor liquidity management which put them in a vulnerable po-sition.

Abstract:
The procedural generation of planetoids finds its place in the field of visualization of virtual worlds in video games, movies, and simulation tools. Due to the growing popularity of the application, the requirements for the quality, uniqueness, and scalability of visualization results are increasing, which, in turn, leads to higher requirements for hardware computing resources. This paper proposes a solution for the architecture of a software system for generating planetoid landscapes, based on a combination of a distributed computing system and the use of parallelism based on the Morsel-Driven Query Execution algorithm to overcome hardware limitations. The computing model includes the following components: a main server that supports gRPC connections; worker servers that perform the task of generating planetoid landscapes in parallel; a geospatial database containing vector data of generated planetoids (rivers and reservoirs; geographic regions – biomes, forests, and other road segments) binary storage of three-dimensional models that are superimposed on the generated planetoid landscape; tileset-storage for storing raster data required for a generation; users who use the software system for generating planetoid landscapes to realize their own goals. The use of software agents in the built system allows unifying a set of algorithms as a single entity used for a particular stage of landscape generation and solving the problem of software system extensibility. A distributed messaging system, a broker, is used to send and process requests using a topic per software agent sequence position. The broker utilizes load balancing to deliver landscape generation requests to background workers. To analyze the system’s performance, experiments were conducted with different numbers of background workers (1, 2: 4, 8; 16) and segment sizes of 512, and 2048 pixels. The lowest average time for generating one segment was obtained when the segment size was 512 pixels and the number of segments was 64. The average segment generation time for the above experiments ranged from 0.33 to 9.32 seconds. The integrated architectural solution allowed to reduce the CPU time by 2 to 5 times compared to a system that uses the approach of storing queries in the database. The solution’s efficiency is especially noticeable with large amounts of data, which is determined by the number of segments and their size in pixels.

Abstract:
The scarcity of clean water resources around the globe has generated a need for their optimum utilization. Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, based on the application-specific sensors’ data acquisition and intelligent processing, are bridging the gaps between the cyber and physical worlds. IoT based smart irrigation management systems can help in achieving optimum water-resource utilization in the precision farming landscape. This paper presents an open-source technology-based smart system to predict the irrigation requirements of a field using the sensing of ground parameters like soil moisture, soil temperature, and environmental conditions along with the weather forecast data from the Internet. The sensing nodes, involved in the ground and environmental sensing, consider soil moisture, air temperature, and relative humidity of the crop field. This mainly focused on wastage of water, which is a major concern of the modern era. It is also time-saving, allows a user to monitor environmental data for agriculture using a web browser and Email, cost-effectiveness, environmental protection, low maintenance and operating cost and efficient irrigation service. The proposed system is made up of two parts: hardware and software. The hardware consists of a Base Station Unit (BSU) and several Terminal Nodes (TNs). The software is made up of the programming of the Wi-Fi network and the system protocol. In this paper, an MQTT (Message Queue Telemetry Transportation) broker was built on the BSU and TU board.

Abstract:
The Metaverse allows the integration of physical and digital versions of users, processes, and environments where entities communicate, transact, and socialize. With the shift towards Extended Reality (XR) technologies, the Metaverse is envisioned to support a wide range of applicative verticals. It will support a seamless mix of physical and virtual worlds (realities) and, thus, will be a game changer for the Future Internet, built on the Semantic Web framework. The Metaverse will be ably assisted by the convergence of emerging wireless communication networks (such as Fifth-Generation and Beyond networks) or Sixth-Generation (6G) networks, Blockchain (BC), Web 3.0, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). It has the potential for convergence in diverse industrial applications such as digital twins, telehealth care, connected vehicles, virtual education, social networks, and financial applications. Recent studies on the Metaverse have focused on explaining its key components, but a systematic study of the Metaverse in terms of industrial applications has not yet been performed. Owing to this gap, this survey presents the salient features and assistive Metaverse technologies. We discuss a high-level and generic Metaverse framework for modern industrial cyberspace and discuss the potential challenges and future directions of the Metaverse’s realization. A case study on Metaverse-assisted Real Estate Management (REM) is presented, where the Metaverse governs a Buyer–Broker–Seller (BBS) architecture for land registrations. We discuss the performance evaluation of the current land registration ecosystem in terms of cost evaluation, trust probability, and mining cost on the BC network. The obtained results show the viability of the Metaverse in REM setups.

Coffey, Bysshe Inigo. "Broken worlds : Shelley's fractured materiality." Thesis, University of Exeter, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/10871/34242.

Abstract:
Percy Bysshe Shelley is often seen to exhibit a linear intellectual development. He moves, allegedly, from a thoroughgoing materialism in his early years to embrace, with varying levels of enthusiasm, a diametrically opposed idealism. Yet, if we are attentive to even an early, supposedly naïvely ‘materialist’ work like Alastor (1816), we discover a much more complex reality. Here, Shelley’s materialism concerns not only the sonorous and physiological elements of existence, but also the gaps, vacancies, silences and interstices of thought. These too, after all, comprise part of our lived experience, and deserve to be designated material. But materialism has struggled, by definition, to explain the real but not-manifest phenomena of human experience. Shelley’s poetry actuates diverse kinds of intermittence and disjunction, and engages with philosophical contexts not previously associated with the poet. He did not seek to resolve the relation between the material and immaterial world of the soul (a quite impossible task anyway), but enact the dynamic between sensuous reality and the gaps and pauses that punctuate it. We see this not only through the incidents that his verse describes; importantly, Shelley also enacts this through performance: through the way in which we recite his poetry into existence, through the pauses and ‘fainting periods’ that our own voice describes. The need to take into account this vocal, performative element of Shelley’s verse belies the notion that he was ever a simple, unreconstructed idealist. Where the recent turn toward materialism has hitherto been somewhat narrowly conceived as a return to objects, things and their thing-ness, Shelley’s sensuousness permits us to ask further: to ask into the nature of the relations between objects, and the ways in which they come into being. His ‘intermitted song’, a poetry of radical pauses, is not only a resonant example of how prosody intersects with, and achieves, philosophically significant thinking, it is also a stinging critique of any account of life or matter that is offered solely in terms of motion, fullness, functionality, and continuity. His achievement is not only of relevance to the Romantic Period and the history of philosophy, or an answer to vital materialism, Shelley’s poetry and prose offer a remarkable reassessment of the notion of a continuing life.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the social construction of a global corruption problem by introducing a methodological framework from the field of sociology and adapting it to International Relations (IR). It provides an alternative explanation for the adoption of anti-corruption instruments in the period 1994-1997 and the international institutionalization of anti-corruption reforms. It challenges conventional views that point to the rise of non-state actors, such as Transparency International, and the end of the Cold War. By tracing the trajectory of the corruption problem, it shows that the dynamics of the 1990s can only be fully understood within the legacy of the 1970s and, in particular, the failed talks at the United Nations. The institutionalization of the global corruption problem in the 1990s was a product largely of historical contingency and state intentionality. While it appeared that a new issue has taken international organizations by storm, it was largely key state agents that were creating this change by building coalitions and maneuvering between venues. The thesis employs methods of discourse and practice analysis from sociological research for the empirical study of claims. The analysis makes use of archival data to open up the pre-negotiation talks on illicit/corrupt payments at the OECD and the UN and study the process of claims-making, as well as document discursive strategies such as controversy management and feasibility. By taking a step back from the study of norms to look at the social construction of problems, the thesis introduces new methodological tools into constructivist IR. It also provides for the integration of state agency in constructivist approaches by showing how state actors engage in ontological warfare over the definition and institutionalization of new problems. Studying the social construction of problems through the process of claims-making elucidates the power relations that inform the established definitions and the spectrum of legitimate solutions; it helps us better understand the makings of international reality.

Riggirozzi, María Pía. "The World Bank as a norm-broker : knowledge, funds and power in governance reforms in Argentina." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2005. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/58326/.

Full text
Abstract:
This study explores the role of the World Bank in the promotion of two governance reforms in Argentina, judicial reform and anti-corruption policies. It argues that when the World Bank is able to draw on both its financial and knowledge power to build and consolidate 'pro-reform networks' with local actors it is more likely to ensure the implementation of governance reforms in its client countries. This argument is built on the premise that whatever the leverage of the World Bank as a financial institution or as a Knowledge Bank, and despite this leverage, it cannot implement programmes by itself in developing countries. A loan and its conditions may be negotiated and approved with government officials, yet the materialisation of projects into policies and institutions is embedded in complex policy process in which the interplay between Bank staff and local actors (beyond government officials) can favour or inhibit policy change. In this context, it is argued that the dominance of a particular actor or paradigm vis-a-vis other contending actors or ideas is not reinforced simply by the coercive position of the lender over the borrower, but rather by its capacity to integrate contesting impulses into broader consensus for policy change. In this capacity, the World Bank is defined as a 'normbroker'. Through a framework that combines critical perspectives in International Political Economy and institutional analysis, this thesis explores different patterns of intervention of World Bank units that acted either as a mere 'conveyor' in the transfer of funds and knowledge or as a 'broker' by integrating the normative agenda grounded in Bank's knowledge with country-based knowledge for the design, negotiation and implementation of governance reforms in Argentina. The theoretical and empirical study of judicial reform and anti-corruption in Argentina contribute to the understanding of reform implementation in which the Bank only succeeds in achieving effective institutionalisation when it engages with local actors, in particular with local experts, in pro-reform networks. By analysing different patterns of involvement of Bank units, this thesis also identifies knowledge/policy dynamics as a critical aspect of policy-making. From this perspective, this thesis departs from traditional studies that focus on one-way coercive leverage of lending institutions and offers a critical approach to the analysis of power, knowledge and policy change in developing countries. It also sheds light on the complexities of international organisations as they expand their roles towards new areas of involvement that fall into the domain of domestic policy-making.

Full text
Abstract:
Notre thèse interroge la capacité d’un Établissement de Formation en Travail Social (EFTS) considéré comme pluraliste, à pouvoir adopter une convention de compromis entre des « mondes » au cours d’une démarche d’absorption de connaissances externes, pour répondre à sa mission d’intérêt général. Elle propose de comprendre comment une convention de compromis est mise en œuvre à partir des capacités d’absorption de connaissances. Notre revue de littérature nous permet d’établir un modèle d’analyse qui précise l’action du processus d’absorption de connaissances sur l’adoption de la convention de compromis par le courtier de connaissances. Pour étudier ce processus, nous nous appuyons sur une étude de cas enchâssée avec deux groupes-projets au sein d’un EFTS. Les entretiens menés montrent pour l’un des deux groupes, le rôle majeur du courtier de connaissances évoluant vers une fonction de courtier de mondes. Son action parvient durant le processus d’absorption à générer une convention de compromis. Le deuxième groupe présente une expérience dissemblable : la figure d’accord produite est l’arrangement qui n’engage pas la convention de compromis. Lors du passage à l’organisation, l’étude empirique met en évidence qu’aucun des deux groupes ne parvient à faire adopter la convention de compromis dans l’EFTS. La discussion de nos résultats porte sur les leviers favorables à l’adoption d’une convention de compromis par une organisation pluraliste pour répondre à une mission d’intérêt général : 1) le rôle majeur du courtier de mondes ; 2) le fonctionnement en communauté de pratique pilotée à bien commun ; 3) la dimension réflexive exercée au sein de l'organisation
Our thesis looks at the capacity of a social work training institution that is considered pluralist to adopt a compromise agreement between “worlds” during a process of absorbing external knowledge so that it can fulfil its public interest mission. The thesis investigates how a compromise agreement is drawn up and delivered based on knowledge absorptive capacity. Furthermore, based on our literature review, we can establish an analytical model that clarifies the action of the knowledge absorption process on the adoption of the compromise agreement by the knowledge broker. To review this process, we look at an embedded case study with two project groups in a social work training institution. For one of the two groups, the interviews that were conducted demonstrate, the major role of the knowledge broker as it develops towards a function of a broker of worlds. His action manages to generate a compromise agreement during the absorption process. The experience of the second group is dissimilar: the agreement figure produced is the arrangement that does not commit the compromise agreement. During the transition to the organisation, the empirical study highlights the fact that neither of the two groups succeeds in having the compromise agreement adopted in the training institute. The discussion of our results focuses on the levers that promote the adoption of a compromise agreement within a pluralist organisation to fulfil a public interest mission: (1) the major role of the broker of worlds ; (2) the functioning in a managed community of practice with common good; and (3) the reflexive dimension exercised inside the organisation

Abstract:
Abstract Engineering designers often span knowledge boundaries when developing complex systems but doing so poses challenges because members of different knowledge groups must bridge their language, cognitions, and “thought worlds” to effectively broker, resituate, and make use of each other’s ideas. Objects — ranging from prototypes to kanban boards to value stream maps — are frequently used in cross-functional design practice, but the outcomes associated with such objects appear varied and dependent not only the objects’ characteristics but on how, when, and by whom they are used. This paper describes a two-year inductive ethnographic study within a turbomachinery design company to understand how cross-functional design teams span their knowledge boundaries to advance their designs and design processes. We collected observations of 70 cross-functional meetings and 52 interviews across functional groups during the development of complex turbomachinery products. Our findings include three roles of objects of collaboration: routinizing cross-boundary interaction, translating information across boundaries, and motivating joint negotiation or discovery. We found two prominent outcomes — co-discovery of a design risk, opportunity, or workflow bottleneck and co-design of a joint integrated solution — that appeared to follow from the latter two roles, respectively. These findings are significant because they clarify the roles of objects in cross-boundary design work and suggest ways for designers to more effectively use objects to span knowledge boundaries.

Abstract:
Th anks to today’s digital age, insurance is the one industry that has particularly benefi ted from the advancements in technology. Every customer an insurance broker or agent serves has a diff erent communication want or need. Some customers crave Улога савремене технологије у општењу посредника и заступника са осигураницима 34 personal attention and want to be able to speak with their insurance agents or brokers. Others simply want easy access to information and a way to deliver information that is not stressful or disruptive. For that reason, insurance brokers or agents should use modern technology to off er multiple communication channels. Th is can include websites, mobile devices, social media, remote communication and business process automation as it is pointed out in this article. More people are accessing the Internet on mobile devices than on desktop computers. Insurance agents and brokers should make sure their websites are compatible with most (if not all) mobile devices. Another solution is to create a mobile app to make it easy for consumers to access their sites on the go. Social media for insurance agents and brokers has challenges. However, social media is now critical to the insurance business. Th e rewards they can reap on social media far outweigh the obstacles. Insurance sales and consultations have always been about connection. Brokers and agents make a connection with clients. Th ey discuss catastrophic situations, potential life problems and issues of daily living, making connections in real life. Th e world now requires those connections to be maintained online, especially during the coronavirus crisis. Remote communication is a way of communicating with others online. Meetings, information, and training materials are shared over the Internet. Advanced insurance brokers and agents create virtual teams. Th ey icommunicate and collaborate online and not in a shared offi ce space. Business process automation is the technology-enabled automation of complex business i.e. insurance processes utilized by agents and brokers. It can streamline an insurance business for simplicity, achieve digital transformation, increase service quality to the insureds, improve service delivery or contain costs. Insurance brokers and agents should spend more time interacting with potential customers. Th is includes answering questions and informing them of the important benefi ts of the insurance off ered. Th ey should turn to in-offi ce soft ware that helps them automate these workfl ows.

Abstract:
The long-term impacts of global upheaval unleashed by Covid-19 on economic, political, social configurations, trade, everyday life in general, and broader planetary sustainability issues are still unfolding and a full assessment will take some time. However, in the short term, the disruptive effects of the pandemic on health, education, and behaviors and on science and education have already manifested themselves profoundly – and the chemistry arena is also deeply affected. There will be ramifications for many facets of chemistry’s ambit, including how it repositions itself and how it is taught, researched, practiced, and resourced within the rapidly shifting post-Covid-19 contexts. The implications for chemistry are discussed hereunder three broad headings, relating to trends (a) within the field of knowledge transfer; (b) in knowledge application and translational research; and (c) affecting academic/professional life.

Full text
Abstract:
The main recommendations of the panel report can be summarised under five key headings:  Scotland in the Roman world: Research into Roman Scotland requires an appreciation of the wider frontier and Empire-wide perspectives, and Scottish projects must be integrated into these wider, international debates. The rich data set and chronological control that Scotland has to offer can be used to inform broader understandings of the impact of Rome.  Changing worlds: Roman Scotland’s rich data set should be employed to contribute to wider theoretical perspectives on topics such as identity and ethnicity, and how these changed over time. What was the experience of daily life for the various peoples in Roman Scotland and how did interactions between incomers and local communities develop and change over the period in question, and, indeed, at and after its end?  Frontier Life: Questions still remain regarding the disposition and chronology of forts and forces, as well as the logistics of sustaining and supplying an army of conquest and occupation. Sites must be viewed as part of a wider, interlocking set of landscapes, and the study of movement over land and by sea incorporated within this. The Antonine Wall provides a continuing focus of research which would benefit from more comparison with frontier structures and regimes in other areas.  Multiple landscapes: Roman sites need to be seen in a broader landscape context, ‘looking beyond the fort’ and explored as nested and interlocking landscapes. This will allow exploration of frontier life and the changing worlds of the Roman period. To do justice to this resource requires two elements: o Development-control archaeology should look as standard at the hinterland of forts (up to c.1 km from the ‘core’), as sensitive areas and worthy of evaluation; examples such as Inveresk show the density of activity around such nodes. The interiors of camps should be extensively excavated as standard. o Integrated approaches to military landscapes are required, bringing in where appropriate topographical and aerial survey, LIDAR, geophysics, the use of stray and metal-detected finds, as well as fieldwalking and ultimately, excavation.  The Legacy of Rome: How did the longer term influence of the Romans, and their legacy, influence the formation, nature and organisation of the Pictish and other emergent kingdoms?

Full text
Abstract:
The world has entered a new and dangerous era of climate change impacts, causing huge loss and damage and driving up inequality in the world’s poorest countries and communities that have contributed least to the climate crisis. New research by Oxfam estimates that funding requirements for UN humanitarian appeals linked to extreme weather are eight times higher than they were 20 years ago, and over the past five years nearly half of appeal requirements have gone unmet. Funding for emergency humanitarian response is piecemeal and painfully inadequate, as is broader support to address loss and damage such as rebuilding homes and vital infrastructure. Scaled-up financial support from governments, corporations and individuals most responsible for causing the climate crisis, and most able to pay, is an immediate necessity. A new finance facility must be created to help ensure that finance to address loss and damage is accessible and sustained, is additional to adaptation, mitigation and ODA commitments, and is delivered in accordance with the principles of climate justice.

Abstract:
We hereby embark on a frontier journey articulating two of our flagship programs – “Earth System Dynamic Intelligence” and “Quantum Information Technologies in the Earth Sciences” – to take the pulse of our planet and discern its manifold complexity in a critically changing world. Going beyond the traditional stochastic-dynamic, information-theoretic, artificial intelligence, mechanistic and hybrid approaches to information and complexity, the underlying fundamental science ignites disruptive developments empowering complex problem solving across frontier natural, social and technical geosciences. Taking aim at complex multiscale planetary problems, the roles of our flagships are put into evidence in different contexts, ranging from I) Interdisciplinary analytics, model design and dynamic prediction of hydro-climatic and broader geophysical criticalities and extremes across multiple spatiotemporal scales; to II) Sensing the pulse of our planet and detecting early warning signs of geophysical phenomena from Space with our Meteoceanics QITES Constellation, at the interface between our latest developments in non-linear dynamics and emerging quantum technologies.

Full text
Abstract:
Skeletal deformities are a significant financial and welfare problem for the world poultry industry. Tibial dyschondroplasia (TD) is the most prevalent skeletal abnormality found in young broilers, turkeys and ducks. Tibial dyschondroplasia results from a perturbation of the sequence of events in the epiphyseal growth plate, the tissue responsible for longitudinal bone growth. The purpose of this investigation was to test the hypothesis that TD was the result of a failure of growth plate chondrocytes to differentiate and express the chemotactic molecules required for cartilage vascularization. In this investigation in situ hybridization and immunocytochemical techniques were used to study chondrocyte gene products associated with cartilage maturation and vascularization such as osteopontin, osteonectin, type X collagen, and alkaline phosphatase. All markers were present in the growth plate tissue anter or to the TD lesion but were greatly diminished in the TD lesion. Thus, rather than not acquiring the markers for hypertrophy, it appears that the growth plate chondrocytes reach a certain stage of hypertrophy and then de-differentiate into cells which resemble chondrocytes in the prehypertrophic zone. Similar patterns were observed in all TD tissues examined whether the lesions were spontaneous or induced by dietary treatments or genetic selection. The decrease in gene expression can at least be partially explained by the fact that many of the dysplastic chondrocytes show classic signs of apoptosis. These results provide an explanation for the observation that a variety of genes show reduced expression in the TD lesion when examined by in situ hybridization. This would suggest that future research should focus on the earliest detectable stages in the development of TD and examine endocrine and autocrine factors which cause chondrocytes to de-differentiate and undergo premature apoptosis.

Abstract:
This paper evaluates the effect of positive inducements on tax behavior by exploiting a natural experiment in which a municipality of Argentina randomly selected 400 individuals among more than 72,000 taxpayers who had complied with payment of their property tax. These individuals were publicly recognized and awarded the construction of a sidewalk. Results indicate that: i) being selected in the lottery and publicly recognized by the government has a positive but not persistent effect on future compliance; ii) receiving the sidewalk has a large positive and persistent effect; iii) high and persistent spillover effects exist: some neighbors of those who receive the reward comply more too, and these effects can be even larger than the direct effects; and iv) there is no financial motive effect; i.e., people do not pay their taxes just to participate in the lottery. Recognition serves only as a short-term incentive, but the provision of a durable and visible good has more persistent and broader effects. These findings provide evidence on features that make a positive inducement more successful, whether for tax compliance or other policy purposes.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper provides a critical assessment of the literature estimating the consequences of climate impacts in agriculture and the food system. This literature focuses overwhelmingly on the impact of elevated CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere, higher temperatures and changing precipitation on staple crop yields. While critically important for food security, we argue that researchers have gravitated to measuring impacts ‘under the streetlight’ where data and models are plentiful. We argue that prior work has largely neglected the vast majority of potential economic impacts of climate change on agriculture. A broader view must extend the impacts analysis to inputs beyond land, including the consequences of climate change for labor productivity, as well as the rate of total factor productivity growth in the face of more rapidly depreciating knowledge capital. This broader view must also focus more attention on non-staple crops, which, while less important from a caloric point of view, are critically important in redressing current micronutrient deficiencies in many diets around the world. The paper closes with numerical simulations that demonstrate the extent to which limited input and output coverage of climate impacts can lead to considerable underestimation of the consequences for food security and economic welfare – particularly in the poorest regions of the world.
