Conceptual Framework and Hypotheses por Pender, John L., Place, Frank, Ehui, Simeon

“…We also consider the influence of government policies, programs, and institutions, which may influence income strategies, land management, and outcomes in many ways at different levels by affecting the driving forces and conditioning factors at the local level, by directly promoting or inhibiting different income strategies and land management practices, or by directly affecting outcomes (e.g., through food aid). We argue that the impacts of many factors are likely to be context-dependent, emphasizing the importance of empirical research in specific contexts, though some unambiguous hypotheses are derived. …”

Genome-wide association and gene validation studies for early root vigour to improve direct seeding of rice por Wang, Fanmiao, Longkumer, Toshisangba, Catausan, Sheryl C., Calumpang, Carla Lenore F., Tarun, Jeshurun A., Cattin-Ortola, Jerome, Ishizaki, Takuma, Pariasca Tanaka, Juan, Rose, Terry, Wissuwa, Matthias, Kretzschmar, Tobias

“…Abolishment of Tips‐11‐9 function through T‐DNA insertion in a qTIPS‐11‐positive background resulted in a reduction of lateral root number, which negatively affected biomass accumulation, particularly under phosphorous‐limiting conditions.Marker‐assisted introgression of qTIPS‐11 into modern indica varieties will aid in the generation of varieties adapted to direct seeding and thus facilitate the adoption of direct seeding practices in tropical Asia.…”

Household livelihoods in semi-arid regions: options and constraints por Campbell, Bruce M., Jeffrey, S., Kozanayi, W., Luckert, M., Mutamba, M., Zindi, C.

“…The authors suggest that there are some key drivers of change, namely: (a) rainfall, (b) macro-economic changes, (c) changing institutional arrangements and social processes, and (d) demographic processes and HIV/AIDS. The overall conclusion is that there are very few options for significantly improving livelihoods in semi-arid regions and that the poverty alleviation targets set by the international community are overly ambitious.The analyses suggest that rainfall variation and the state of the macro-economy are likely to have a greater impact on livelihood status than local rural development interventions.…”

Spatial distribution of volcanic ash deposits of 2011 Puyehue-Cordón Caulle eruption in Patagonia as measured by a perturbation in NDVI temporal dynamics por Easdale, Marcos Horacio, Bruzzone, Octavio Augusto

“…Public policy decision making needs monitoring information of the affected areas by ash fallout, in order to better orient social, economic and productive aids. The aim of this study was to analyze the spatial distribution of volcanic ash deposits from the eruption of Puyehue- Cordón Caulle in 2011, by identifying a sudden change in the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) temporal dynamics, defined as a perturbation located in the time series.We applied a sparse-wavelet transform using the Basis Pursuit algorithm to NDVI time series obtained from the Moderate Resolution Image Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor, to identify perturbations at a pixel level. …”
