Abstract:
Opportunities are a core construct in the field of entrepreneurship. Despite recent advances suggesting the separation of ideas from opportunities, the field still suffers from conceptual deficiencies. This article builds on this distinction and leverages insights from creativity and innovation management literature to propose a framework that allows tracing the evolution of a venture from first insight to exploitation. It discusses real–time/longitudinal and retrospective measurement techniques from the fields of entrepreneurship, creativity, and innovation management to empirically capture the framework. Several research questions for future studies are provided, concluding with a discussion of implications for research and practice.

Abstract:
Within the context of opportunity development as a learning process, this paper explores the intentionality that drives the early stages of this process, from the initial occurrence of an idea to its further exploration and elaboration by a potential entrepreneur. It establishes that the specific situations that induce opportunity insights also affect the roles that individuals’ prior knowledge and learning approaches play for the formation of opportunity intentions. The likelihood of acting on their initial opportunity insights depends not only on how much prior knowledge individuals have of the opportunity domain, but also on whether their learning style matches the situation at hand. The results from an experiment show that domain–specific knowledge enables action when there is a person–situation match and impedes it when such a match is lacking.

Abstract:
Gerrymandering is known best as a tool to manipulate boundaries for voting districts, but school districts have long used the same tool to manipulate school boundaries. The author used geospatial techniques — mapping various kinds of demographic data onto school boundaries — to examine public school attendance zones and their effect on students. The author’s research yielded several key insights. Like congressional districts, school zones are highly gerrymandered; the gerrymandering of school zones serves to worsen the already severe racial segregation of public schools, but affirmative gerrymandering can effectively increase diversity and reduce racial segregation.

Abstract:
Abstract Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a heterogeneous disease, both clinically and biologically. The biological behavior and development of FL is a culmination of complex multistep processes underpinned by genetic and nongenetic determinants. Epigenetic deregulation through recurrent genetic alterations is now a recognized major biological hallmark of FL, alongside the t(14;18) translocation. In parallel, there is a strong interplay between the lymphoma B cells and the immune microenvironment, with the microenvironment serving as a critical enabler by creating a tumor-supportive niche and modulating the immune response to favor survival of the malignant B cells. A further layer of complexity arises from the biological heterogeneity that occurs between patients and within an individual, both over the course of the disease and at different sites of disease involvement. Altogether, taking the first steps to bridge the understanding of these various biological components and how to evaluate these clinically may aid and inform future strategies, including logical therapeutic interventions, risk stratification, therapy selection, and disease monitoring.

Abstract:
Researchers are engaged in a major debate on the value of business planning in new venture creation. Findings of prior empirical research have been fragmented and contradictory. This does not surprise given that despite the lack of an understanding of the nature of planning in the entrepreneurial context, most of these studies employed survey methodology to test the impact of planning on performance. This thesis seeks to deepen our understanding of entrepreneurial planning by drawing on qualitative case research. Theories from narrow streams of literature were combined to develop a holistic theoretical framework that was used to collect and analyse data from four cases. Results show that in contrast to the methods employed in previous studies, the presence of a business plan is a poor proxy for measuring the extent to which the entrepreneurs in the four cases studied plan. Rather, planning in these cases occurs on various levels with different types of formal and informal outcomes, depending on a range of antecedents such as the industry in which the new venture is operating. The understanding and theoretical framework developed in this thesis can be used to create better measures in quantitative studies and ultimately contribute to the question of whether and how entrepreneurs should plan.

Abstract:
Entrepreneurship is a young field of study that rests at the heart of modern theories of economic development. Several studies have had immense endeavors to explain many of phenomena in entrepreneurship as well as entrepreneurial opportunity and entrepreneur’s economic function. Still, we know little about how entrepreneurial action takes place under the condition of risk and uncertainty. Having value proposition as a central construct and building upon entrepreneurship literature, this dissertation is a further contribution to our current knowledge, particularly in entrepreneurial opportunity evaluation. It embodies four distinct but interrelated studies. Using a variety of independent and mediating variables and constructs such as gender, risk disposition, expertise, innovativeness, intention, self-efficacy, attitude, subjective norms, empathy, learning, and opportunity style, it seeks to address the challenge these factors create in the course of opportunity development for entrepreneurs. The study No.1 examines “how different representations of entrepreneurial opportunity can influence the risk preference of entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs, and whether this differs between men and women”. A survey methodology was used with a random sample of 135 entrepreneurs and 126 non-entrepreneurs. The methodology was presented through a new risky choice framework containing five entrepreneurial opportunities. The first results indicate that framing information of opportunity caused significant differences in risk preferences between the entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs and also between the males and females. In negative situations, except for the lowest risk level of the experiment, the male entrepreneurs tended to choose higher risky opportunities than the female entrepreneurs. However, neither group showed a preference for the lowest opportunity return in certainty. In addition, a comparative analysis showed that there were more differences between the four groups in the negative situations than in the positive situations. The detailed differences and risk preferences of each of the four groups were also analyzed. The study No.2 inspects the moderating roles of the founder’s experience and innovation degree on the relationship between opportunity confidence and new value creation intention (NVCI) at the pre-founding stage of a business. For this purpose, it uses survey data from 157 prospective entrepreneurs in the ICT industry from university incubators in Iran. Using SEM, result show that experience, alone, does not moderate the relationship between opportunity confidence and NVCI. However, if entrepreneurs have required opportunity confidence, then medium and high-level innovation can increase the likelihood of acting on the opportunity for novice and experienced entrepreneurs, respectively. For novice entrepreneurs, the innovation variance from low to medium moderates the relationship between opportunity confidence and intent. In fact, this relationship is strengthened by the medium novelty level. Whereas, for experienced entrepreneurs, the variance from medium to high, moderates the relationship that is strengthened by the high novelty level. The study No.3 explores the crucial factors that form the pre and post intentionality to create new values, particularly the post intention factors that facilitate opportunity enactment. It shows how intention impacts motivation-mustering to learn about practical knowledge concerning value proposition facilitator (VPF), which in turn influences value creation enactment. A survey methodology has been applied to a randomly selected sample of 213 entrepreneurs from 16 incubators in Iran. Using SEM and longitudinal data, the results showed that attitudes toward value creation and value creation self-efficacy significantly impacted the intentionality to create new value. Moreover, VPF has a direct effect on value creation enactment so that, it partially mediates the relationship between new value creation intention (NVCI) and value creation enactment. The findings did not support the influence of subjective norms neither on NVCI nor on value creation enactment. Finally, the study No.4 seeks to shade light on the black-box of value co-creation in entrepreneurship and on the process through which the entrepreneur’s new value proposition meets the customer’s problem and pain in particular. Later I will discuss that successful entrepreneurs are often more empathic than unsuccessful entrepreneurs. Those entrepreneurs that offer their new values through an empathic relationship, learn a vital market knowledge (practical knowledge) that in turn shapes a shared mental model between them and the beneficiary that increases the likelihood of value co-creation engagement. Moreover, the performance of this relationship improves if there is a match between entrepreneurs’ learning approach and their initial opportunity insight. Furthermore, there is another matching mechanism between learning skills and the dimensions of empathy that enhances empathy capacity for entrepreneurs. These two matching mechanism at the end have a paramount influence on the value co-creation effectiveness.

Abstract:
Companies are always trying to increase their sales and revenue, but nowadays due to technology advancement, competence and the fast moving economy this task becomes more difficult as time goes by. This is where innovation walks in, to find new ways to add value to customers, increasing profit and even find new potential markets. As part of implementing innovative practices, many companies have added corporate entrepreneurship to their structure, to look for new business models that reach diverse customers within the same industry. Getting in the mind of customers, trying to decipher unspoken needs and matching problems to new solutions is part of the insighting process that has to be done when attempting idea incubation. This research seeks to provide a methodology to make the insighting process for early idea validation, in a corporate environment, less manual and more mechanical. For this purpose the Stockholm division of Telia Company was used as study case and main source of data recollection, which brings the research results to a practical use and analysis.

This Master Thesis is the research done in the country of Rwanda.

Rwanda has considerable opportunities development energy from hydro sources, methane gas, solar and peat deposits. Most of these energy sources have not been fully exploited, such as solar, wind and geothermal. As such wood is still being the major source of energy for 94 per cent of the population and imported petroleum products consume more than 40 per cent of foreign exchange. Energy is a key component of the Rwandan economy. It is thus recognized that the current inadequate and expensive energy supply constitutes a limiting factor to sustainable development. Rwanda’s Vision 2020 emphasizes the need for economic growth, private investment and economic transformation supported by a reliable and affordable energy supply as a key factor for the development process. To achieve this transformation, the country will need to increase energy production and diversify into alternative energy sources. Rwandan nations don’t have small-scale solar, wind, and geothermal devices in operation providing energy to urban and rural areas. These types of energy production are especially useful in remote locations because of the excessive cost of transporting electricity from large-scale power plants. The application of renewable energy technology has the potential to alleviate many of the problems that face the people of Rwanda every day, especially if done so in a sustainable manner that prioritizes human rights.

Abstract:
This chapter provides insights into often-observed temporal regularities of different types of crime. It begins by briefly appraising relevant theories that explain variations in time incidence. It then discusses methodological issues that are unique to temporal analysis. The bulk of the next section presents temporal patterns from four years of crime data recorded by West Yorkshire Police, UK. Several units of analysis are considered: years, months, weeks, and days, and a medley of theories are used to suggest putative explanations for the observed patterns. It focuses first on crimes committed against property (predominantly theft and damage offenses) before considering crimes committed against people and, finally, Internet-enabled crimes against both people and their property. The intention here is to illustrate a variety of empirical regularities for different crime types, and to posit plausible explanations for those patterns.

Abstract:
Historical institutionalism offers original ways of thinking about the origins, evolution, and consequences of political institutions—including, international order. This chapter argues that a “rise and decline” theory of international order based solely on the distribution of power is inadequate. The idea that leading states periodically have found themselves in a position to build or at least shape international order is not in dispute. But the explanation for the variations in the character of orders depends on more than simply the presence of a powerful lead state. Moments of opportunity for order building open up and close. The character of the state that finds itself with the opportunity to build order also matters. Employing insights from historical institutionalism, this chapter directs attention to the temporal dynamics that shape international orders, including the timing and sequence of past events that set the stage for subsequent struggles over political institutions.

AbstractThis chapter discusses a social anthropological research study that considers the place of third sector organisations (TSOs) in society, particularly for those who have been in contact with the criminal justice services. The work is based on insights from journeys through Norway, and to a lesser extent the UK, captured as narratives by a TSO caseworker in partnership with other research team members. The insights were drawn from interactions with those along the journey such as ex-prisoners, volunteers, charity workers, members of religious communities and so forth. What these revealed were the many and sometimes hidden universes that exist in and outside TSOs. This chapter offers deep and sometimes different perspectives, asking the reader to consider the range of opportunities TSOs can offer and sets these against concepts of self and other, place, boundary crossing and organisational learning. The work speaks to those seeking to reintegrate into society after prison, their families, significant others, professional practitioners, students and academics, and although primarily based around Norway, the content resonates internationally.

Abstract:
AbstractEntrepreneurs can learn about potential opportunitiesthrough social interactions with communities of inquiry. However, how do entrepreneurs build such communities, and how do they engage community members over time to develop their potential opportunities? Building on a recent study of eight new ventures and their communities of inquiry over nine months (Shepherd et al. in Journal of Business Venturing, 106033), this chapter presents a social model of opportunity development. The chapter explains how entrepreneurial teams that progress well toward market launch consist of varied specialists who openly engage their communities of inquiry. This open engagement leads such teams to gather diverse information, generate multiple alternatives (technology and market), and test conjectures about their potential opportunities through disconfirmation. In contrast, unsuccessful entrepreneurial teams rely on focused engagement with their communities of inquiry. This focused engagement leads these teams to gather specific information, generate a few related alternatives, and seek to confirm their opportunity conjectures. This chapter highlights new insights into entrepreneurial teams’ engagement with communities of inquiry to explain opportunity development and, ultimately, new venture progress.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter provides reflections on the consequences of technological change in relation to World Heritage properties. While technological change is a core means of human adaptation and survival, it becomes a risk if the pace is too fast. This has increasingly affected societies worldwide since the industrial revolution, resulting in many negative consequences for people and the environment. Technological change is also associated with positive developments, such as those brought about by digital technology. Insights into both risks and opportunities are given in this chapter, and they are illustrated with examples, such as mining and digital geomedia. Technological change appears as a double-edged sword, but there is currently no methodology for assessing its consequences for World Heritage properties. Therefore, the chapter turns to lessons learnt from the Historic Urban Landscape approach, the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Programme, and from impact assessment methods. While these provide useful inspiration and a basis for further reflection, the chapter concludes by emphasizing the necessity of a methodology for assessing the impacts of technological change on World Heritage properties against the background of the Sustainable Development Goals.

AbstractThe purpose of this chapter is to elaborate on how different patterns of governance contribute to the contextualisation of lifelong learning policies in a specific social context. Taking opportunity structures as frames, different specific governance patterns in three different social contexts are analysed and explained. Three case studies of policies implemented in three European functional regions are described: Istria (Croatia), Malaga (Spain) and Vale do Ave (Portugal). Attention is given to lifelong learning policies that are oriented towards raising the levels of employability of young adults. The notion of employability has been put forward at the EU policy level through different strategies (e.g., Education and Training 2010 and 2020 programmes) and it informs the construction of policies on problems and the solutions to be provided. Conceptually, this chapter is based on Bartlett and Vavrus’ (Rethinking case studies research: A comparative approach. Routledge, 2017) proposal to use three axes (transversal, vertical and horizontal) to explore and compare cases. Thus, the authors explore different ways in which the “employability” and other relevant approaches are materialised in and adapted to historically situated contexts (transversal axis), by different actors involved at different levels of local/regional designs and implementation scales (vertical axis) of diverse LLL programmes implemented in three EU regions (horizontal axis).

AbstractDuring the COVID-19 crisis, the governmental restrictions seriously affected the daily lives of adolescents (aged 12–25). They could not attend school, had to limit face-to-face contact with peers, and had to stay at home with their parents. This chapter combines insights from theoretical models on adolescent development with some of the first empirical findings of the impact of COVID-19 on adolescents. We will discuss how lockdown and social distancing measures affect mental health and well-being in a formative and vulnerable period in life. Specifically, the authors focus on delayed attainment of developmental tasks toward adulthood, the importance of friendships, and how parents can promote developmental growth and resilience in a “new common.” Advice is included on how future society can and should be shaped around the developmental needs, risks, and opportunities that characterize adolescence.

Yet they did not. In this chapter we revisit the question of why not, adding additional insights into the chain of events, including some revision of earlier versions of these events. As the group’s leader, this missed opportunity must be, and was, attributable to Pawsey; and yet not for the reasons that some retrospective accounts have suggested (see ESM 20.1, A Review of Recollections, for additional details of the imperfect memories of Bowen and Bolton.).

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter focuses on the legal activism that followed the Ali Enterprises factory fire and its aftermath in Pakistan. This chapter has two purposes: firstly, it documents the legal proceedings that were initiated and pursued in the courts of Pakistan as well as its interconnected developments. Secondly, I aim to use this engagement with the legal proceedings of the Baldia factory fire aftermath as an opportunity for an in-depth reflection on the capacity and, finally, suitability of the judicial process to bring about justice in struggles over human and labour rights. Providing a rare and insider account of the legal proceedings in the Pakistani courts and its interconnected developments, I hope to lay the empirical foundation for the theoretical and strategic claims of this study. It is against the background and based on the experience with the litigation and legal advocacy following the Baldia fire that I examine the two what I perceive as “paradoxes” at the heart of the litigation. The first is the inseparability of the “limited justice” that may result from such litigation on one hand, and the “structural injustice” that informs and determines the conditions the litigation seeks to address—and transform—on the other hand. The second paradox concerns the inseparability of both law and lawlessness as regards the legal context of the litigation, advocacy and policy proposal elements that are here in play.My argument is that these apparently contradictory phenomena not only coexist alongside one another but that they guarantee each other’s existence. This analysis leads me to the conclusion that in order to understand and improve such forms of strategic litigation, it is necessary to measure its success and failure in terms of three distinct but interconnected criteria. These are the tactical, strategic and structural impacts of the litigation. Ultimately, I will argue for rejecting what is often perceived by involved stakeholders to be an unavoidable choice between nihilism, euphoria or incremental reform in this context. But, to the contrary, I will argue for a conception of legal struggles as a means of building sustainable and fruitful forms of resistance and of change based on the recognition and exploitation of these irreconcilable paradoxes rather than fruitless attempts to ignore or transcend these irreconcilable contradictions.

Full text
Abstract:
One of the constants of our species’ history is the fact that from time to time people find themselves in the situation of being forced to cope with events that put a great amount of pressure on certain aspects of humanity’s existence, or even endanger this very existence. Due to the deeply disturbing nature of these situations, we call them crises, and one of them, generated by the COVID-19 pandemic, is right now in full swing. How humanity reacts in these circumstances is of the utmost importance. For this reason, in our paper we tried to argue that people should not give in to the urge to act driven by panic or by inappropriate ideas about the nature of the ongoing phenomenon. One of the most dangerous ideas is that a crisis is first and foremost an opportunity, a welcomed occasion for a possible ‘reset’ of the very society as a whole. We then tried to argue that any reaction to the ongoing crisis must be based on a correct understanding of the phenomenon, both as a whole, but also in its details. For this reason, believing that anthropology and sociology can provide fundamental insights, appropriate perspectives for investigation and useful factual information, we have provided in the article some insights from the point of view of these disciplines to help shape this understanding of the ongoing crisis.

Abstract:
Abstract The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) collects emissions data each year from oil and natural gas operators in the U.S. through the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP). While studies have indicated that these emissions are underestimated, the data are reported using a consistent methodology across operators, providing an opportunity to better understand operational differences and trends. The largest methane emissions source category for onshore oil and gas production is pneumatic devices, which make up 56% of methane emissions. From 2018 to 2020, reported emissions from pneumatic devices declined 16%. The drivers of this change include fewer high-bleed pneumatic devices in operation and fewer operating hours reported per intermittent bleed pneumatic device.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Field development planning moves from using deterministically constructed reservoir models to stochastically generated ensembles of models to better capture subsurface uncertainties. This leads to a challenge on how to understand reservoir dynamics and extract insights because of the large volumes of data involved. The objective of the presented system is to demonstrate how cloud-based computing can help to derive actionable insights of this large volume of data through automation, machine learning, and elastic scaling. In this paper we present a cloud-native solution for optimizing and evaluating ensemble-based infill well locations. An opportunity index (OI) is derived from static and dynamic grid properties of reservoir simulation and a connected component search for every realization. Probability maps of OI are constructed to present the likelihood of high-OI areas from all simulations to propose infill well targets for the ensemble. Infill wells are automatically evaluated and ranked by ensemble field production increases. The workflow is deployed in a cloud-based system to leverage elastic scaling of compute resources to cope with the large volumes of data inherent in ensemble models. The result from deploying this new workflow in a mature field in the North Sea shows that optimization of infill well targets at the ensemble level increases the robustness of targets compared to the alternative of selecting one or a few realizations. When randomly selecting two deterministic cases to analyze infill well locations, we observe inconsistency in candidate well locations. In case A, little opportunity is shown in the northern part of the reservoir and no opportunity in the southwestern part, whereas the result from case B shows almost the opposite, having a large area of opportunity in the northern part and a small opportunity in the southwestern part. By applying the proposed solution, only focused areas of the northern part of the reservoir are suitable for candidate well locations. The study time of target identification and evaluation is significantly shortened. The cloud-based deployment removes the company's need to own and manage powerful computer and data-storage infrastructure. In summary, the solution improves the workflow efficiency and provides high-quality results for field development decision making.

Abstract:
In recent decades extremely rapid technological advances have been seen that have changed many areas of daily life and the business environment. These technological advances are leading to the increasing use of electronic communications networks and cloud technologies by individuals, businesses, and organizations to provide services, store, and manage records, especially in the electronic space. The increasing use of these links offers an unprecedented opportunity to systematically collect and use a variety of data (including personal data) for different purposes. Information and data collected and processed with the help of technology are used not only for the purposes of meeting the needs of natural and legal persons but for various other reasons too. In the context of the collection and the use of personal data, which is very widespread in business relations, ensuring the individual’s right to privacy becomes problematic, especially if the data have to be transferred to third countries outside the EU. The authors of the article provide an example of how the case of data transfer to a third party was resolved in the Lithuanian courts. It also provides insights into how data transfers to third (non-EU) countries will change according to the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), which will take effect on December 27, 2022.

Abstract:
This paper addresses the understudied educational space of what is commonly understood as the preprofessional portfolio- development studio. It describes a design pedagogy developed to serve preprofessional and non-design-major students from liberal-arts colleges pursuing admission to a first-professional graduate degree program in architecture. Starting from the premise that in complexity lies myriad opportunities for discovery and growth, this studio establishes a robust platform for this unique group of students to encounter the richness and expansiveness of the discipline, and to understand and explore architecture’s capacities as an agent of positive change in the world. It is further argued that what a complex, case study-based design project facilitates for these beginning design students is a depth and richness of engagement, and that like a great work of literature, a complex architectural problem asks students to wrestle all at once with its many layers—with its clarity and contradictions, its strengths and shortcomings—and to evaluate its evolving place in, and meaning to society. In this light each student’s efforts to define their own approach can be shown to reveal insights not only about the object of study, but also about themselves and their own nascent interests in design, architecture, and the built environment.

Abstract:
To get an improved understanding and knowledge of the melt pool convection and the vessel creep and possible failure processes and modes occurring during the late phase of a core melt down accident the FOREVER-experiments are currently underway at the Division of Nuclear Power Safety of the Royal Institute of Technology Stockholm. These experiments are simulating the behaviour of the lower head of the RPV under the thermal loads of a convecting melt pool with decay heating, and under the pressure loads that the vessel experiences in a depressurization scenario. Due to the multi axial creep deformation of the vessel with a non-uniform temperature field these experiments are on the one hand an excellent source of data to validate numerical creep models which are developed on the basis of uniaxial creep tests. On the other hand the results of pre-test calculations can be used to optimize the experimental procedure and by supporting decision making during the experiment. For that, a Finite Element model is developed based on a multi-purpose code. After post-test calculations for the FOREVER-C2 experiment, pre-test calculations for the forthcoming experiments are performed. Additionally metallographic post test investigations of the experiments are conducted to improve the numerical damage model and to adjust the correlation between the metallographic observations and the calculated damage. Taking into account both — experimental and numerical results — gives a good opportunity to improve the simulation and understanding of real accident scenarios. After analysing the calculations, it seems to be advantageous to introduce a vessel support which can unburden the vessel from a part of the mechanical load and, therefore, avoid the vessel failure or at least prolong the time to failure. This can be a possible accident mitigation strategy. Additionally, it is possible to install an absolutely passive automatic control device to initiate the flooding of the reactor pit to ensure external vessel cooling in the event of a core melt down.

Abstract:
Abstract Subsurface uncertainty will always be part of the field development. Moreover, the existence of multiple faults that divides reservoirs into segments create more challenges and risks in understanding the field performance. In the other hand, this compartmentalized reservoirs typically also offer promising opportunities for undrained or virgin pressure reservoir development which can provide significant added value especially for mature assets. This paper presents valuable case study and lesson learn from Premier Oil Indonesia in modelling and estimating optimization opportunities in highly faulted reservoirs at Garuda Field located in Natuna Sea offshore. Several integrated studies that involved seismic reprocessing, static modelling, fault seal analysis, P/Z Analysis and MatBal simulation were done and lead to identification of several promising opportunities to produce the suspected undrained / high pressure reservoir compartments. However, uncertainty and risk will remain lay underground unless the opportunity is accessed or drilled. Two initial opportunities were drilled and workovered in 2021 that unfortunately had depleted pressure outcome – not align with initial expectation. Case study presented in this paper provide valuable insights and lesson learns in developing compartmentalized reservoirs. Especially when having infill well optimization programs among severely depleted neighbor sands. Despite alignments of several analysis, huge uncertainties are always involved when dealing this type of reservoirs, unless the well is drilled to provide some answers.

Full text
Abstract:
Results of Banyu Urip (BU) carbonate exploration, appraisal and development drillings revealed the existence of hydrocarbon-contained in Serravallian deep-water clastic reservoir on top of the primary BU carbonate reservoir. This clastic reservoir is equivalent to the Ngrayong Formation in East Java Basin which is widely known as a mature exploration target and consists of a wide range of depositional environment from fluvio-deltaic (northern part of the Basin) to basin floor (southern part of the basin) with various reservoir quality. However, after a century of exploration activities in East Java Basin, commercial discoveries in the Ngrayong Formation are still considered insignificant (approximately 330 MMboe) (Mazied et al. 2016). This probably due to complex reservoir architecture posted high uncertainty of its reservoir presence, distribution, and quality as well challenging on their dynamic aspects such as un-known hydrocarbon connectivity, un-even contacts and low-deliverability. This paper will present new insights and the potential of Ngrayong clastic opportunity in BU area based on static and dynamic data including BU wells, newly reprocessed 3D seismic data, conventional core and thin sections, as well as integrated geologic and geophysical analyses. Integration of the available dataset suggest the presence of stacked deep water channels and deep water lobes systems. The distribution of stacked channels and lobes seem to be more predictive and widespread, hence providing a better understanding of its reservoir distribution. Furthermore, well data indicates approximately total of 100m net stacked clastic reservoirs consist of mixed carbonate-clastic materials, and have good reservoir pressure connectivity with the carbonate reservoir underneath. This mixed clastic-carbonate system in Ngrayong Formation is diagenetically-altered, and this diagenesis process plays as an important roles in modifying reservoir quality. Although carbonate cement and diagenetic overprint impose challenging reservoir quality prediction, a dissolution creates better reservoir quality, generates excess permeability and produces high flow reservoir. Detail study of reservoir architecture and diagenesis process are critical to better assess volumetric and development opportunity. These key components will open up new paradigm and essential for successful of Ngrayong Formation exploration in East Java Basin in order to contribute to the country’s energy demand.

Abstract:
Policies that seek to mitigate poverty by acting on equal opportunity have been found to aggravate discrimination against the poor (aporophobia), since individuals are made responsible for not progressing in the social hierarchy. Only a minority of the poor benefit from meritocracy in this era of growing inequality, generating resentment among those who seek to escape their needy situations by trying to climb up the ladder. Through the formulation and development of an agent-based social simulation, this study aims to analyse the role of norms implementing equal opportunity and social solidarity principles as enhancers or mitigators of aporophobia, as well as the threshold of aporophobia that would facilitate the success of poverty-reduction policies. The ultimate goal of the social simulation is to extract insights that could help inform and guide a new generation of policy making for poverty reduction by acting on the discrimination against the poor, in line with the UN “Leave No One Behind” principle. An “aporophobia-meter” will be developed and guidelines will be drafted based on both the simulation results and a review of poverty reduction policies at regional levels.

Abstract:
In Latin America, average wages vary greatly between countries richest and poorest regions. Differences in average wages across neighborhoods of the same city are even more significant. Residential segregation reduces access to economic opportunity. Families in less accessible neighborhoods spend more time and money commuting, are less likely to apply to distant jobs, and are more likely to remain unemployed if they lose their job. Public transportation investments can help to improve access to economic opportunity and reduce inequality in segregated cities if they are combined with zoning policies that allow for flexible housing supply in beneficiary neighborhoods.

In response to a shock such as the COVID-19 pandemic, a policy that facilitates firm digital adoption can, in the short run, accelerate the recovery of GDP, total employment, and labor income. In the medium run, the policy decreases total employment and the labor force participation rate due to a rise in households opportunity cost of working. However, this comes with higher levels of GDP and labor income, greater average firm productivity, a larger formal employment share, and a marginally lower unemployment rate.

Abstract:
The Saudi agricultural sector relies on diesel for irrigation, which is provided to farmers at a much lower price than the average global price, implying significant opportunity costs. With the aid of soft-coupled power and macro-econometric models, we assess the cost and macroeconomic implications of electrifying irrigation activities in the Saudi agricultural sector. Three electrification scenarios are considered: electrifying each individual farm with a dedicated hybrid renewable micro-grid, electrifying the entire farm cluster with central generation and connecting the entire cluster via transmission to the national grid. Compared with the base-case, connecting the farm cluster to the national grid is found to be the most economical but the least environmentally friendly. The renewable and central generation scenarios are costlier (compared with the transmission scenario) due, respectively, to the high battery costs and gas infrastructure needed.

Abstract:
This learning paper presents an initial analysis of the emerging research to policy linkages within the Agricultural Policy Research in Africa (APRA) programme of the Future Agricultures Consortium, which is funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). APRA has an innovative monitoring, evaluation and learning approach known as the ‘Accompanied Learning on Relevance and Effectiveness’ (ALRE), which is being delivered by a small team of embedded evaluation specialists. This paper discusses how ALRE has applied the COM-B (Capability, Opportunity, Motivation and Behaviour) (Mayne 2018; Mayne 2016; Michie, van Stralen and West 2011) model of behaviour change to explore the interactions and influencing strategies between researchers and policymakers in the context of agricultural policy research in Africa. These insights have produced the Diamond of Influence, a new ALRE-adapted model, which applies each of the COM-B elements to discuss the different aspects of research to policy processes, drawing on examples of how researchers in each of the APRA focus countries (Ethiopia, Ghana, Malawi, Nigeria, Tanzania and Zimbabwe) are engaging in policy spaces.

Full text
Abstract:
Portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) technology collects geochemical data at a fraction of the cost of traditional laboratory methods. Although the pXRF spectrometer provides concentrations for 41 elements, only a subset of these elements meet the criteria for definitive, quantitative, and qualitative data. However, high-quality pXRF data obtained by correct application of analytical protocols, can provide robust insight to stratigraphy and sediment characteristics that are often not observed by, for example, visual core logging, grain size analysis, and geophysical logging. We present examples of geochemical results obtained from pXRF analysis of drill core samples from three boreholes located in Canada, that demonstrate: 1) Definitive stratigraphic boundaries observed in geochemical changes obtained from 380 analyses collected over 150 m of core, which intersects three Ordovician sedimentary formations and Precambrian granite. These boundaries could not be reconciled by traditional visual core logging methods. 2) Significant elemental concentration changes observed in 120 samples collected in each of two ~120 m deep boreholes located in a confined paleo-glacial foreland basin. The collected geochemical data provide insight to sediment provenance and stratigraphic relationships that were previously unknown. 3) Abrupt changes in the geochemical signature in a subset of 135 samples collected from a 151 m deep borehole intersecting Quaternary glacial derived till, sands, and ahomogeneous silt and clay succession. These data provide a platform for discussion on ice sheet dynamics, changes in depositional setting, and changes in provenance. Results from each of these studies highlights previously unknown (invisible) geological information revealed through geochemical analyses. A significant benefit of using pXRF technology is refining sampling strategies in near real time and the ability to increase sample density at geochemical boundaries with little increase in analysis time or budget. The data also provide an opportunity to establish a chemostratigraphic framework that complements other stratigraphic correlation techniques, including geophysical methods. Overall, data collected with pXRF technology provide new insights into topics such as spatial correlations, facies changes, provenance changes, and depositional environment changes.

Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to massive rates of unemployment and greater uncertainty in the job market. There is a growing need for data-driven tools and analyses to better inform the public on trends within the job market. In particular, obtaining a “snapshot” of available employment opportunities mid-pandemic promises insights to inform policy and support retraining programs. In this work, we combine data scraped from the Canadian Job Bank and Numbeo globally crowd-sourced repository to explore the relationship between job postings during a global pandemic and Key Performance Indicators (e.g. quality of life index, cost of living) for major cities across Canada. This analysis aims to help Canadians make informed career decisions, collect a “snapshot” of the Canadian employment opportunities amid a pandemic, and inform job seekers in identifying the correct fit between the desired lifestyle of a city and their career. We collected a new high-quality dataset of job postings from jobbank.gc.ca obtained with the use of ethical web scraping and performed exploratory data analysis on this dataset to identify job opportunity trends. When optimizing for average salary of job openings with quality of life, affordability, cost of living, and traffic indices, it was found that Edmonton, AB consistently scores higher than the mean, and is therefore an attractive place to move. Furthermore, we identified optimal provinces to relocate to with respect to individual skill levels. It was determined that Ajax, Marathon, and Chapleau, ON are each attractive cities for IT professionals, construction workers, and healthcare workers respectively when maximizing average salary. Finally, we publicly release our scraped dataset as a mid-pandemic snapshot of Canadian employment opportunities and present a public web application that provides an interactive visual interface that summarizes our findings for the general public and the broader research community.
