Abstract This paper builds on the celebrated monograph by James J. Fox, entitled, Harvest of Palm: ecological change in eastern Indonesia (1977). Fox’s work drew attention to contribution sugar palm economies among communities south-eastern Indonesia. His study highlighted contrasting ecologies two orientations livelihoods; one approach celebrates benefits low impact, sustainable lontar islands...

Before developing a new mobile app, the development team usually endeavors painstaking efforts to review many existing apps with similar purposes. The process is crucial in sense that it reduces market risks and provides inspirations for app development. However, manual exploration of hundreds by different roles (e.g., product manager, UI/UX designer, developer, tester) can be ineffective. For ...

In recent years, many methods have been proposed to explain individual classification predictions of deep neural networks. However, how leverage the created explanations improve learning process has less explored. The extracted from a model can be used guide itself. Another type information training is knowledge provided by powerful teacher model. goal this work self-explanation borrowing ideas...

This article seeks to challenge the notion that concept of agro-extractivism be restricted crops destined for export with little or no processing. Based on a study agave and tequila production in Mexico, it argues domestic processing biomass does not change nor necessarily compensate negative social environmental impacts upstream agricultural activities; can fact add them. We seek demonstrate t...

This work aims at distilling a systematic methodology to modernize existing sequential scientific codes with little re-designing effort, turning an old codebase into modern code, i.e., parallel and robust code. We propose semi-automatic parallelize applications designed purely programming mindset, possibly using global variables, aliasing, random number generators, stateful functions. demonstra...
