This research to reveal efforts in poverty alleviation through the involvement of socialpreneurs Gorontalo by using descriptive qualitative methods. has an exploratory and meaningful approach social phenomena that actually occur. For standard determination informants, researchers used purposive sampling technique. In this study, will conduct deep interviews as a basic stage data collection for ...

A spectral wave model coupling a quadtree-adaptive discretisation of the two spatial dimensions with a standard discretisation of the two spectral dimensions is described. The implementation is greatly simplified by reusing components of the Gerris solver (for spatial advection on quadtrees) and WAVEWATCH III (for spectral advection and source terms). Strict equivalence between the anisotropic ...

Small-scale fishers in Bangladesh face substantial risks due to their occupation and their geographical setting. Without any effective buffer against crises, recurring shocks and on-going risk exposure are major factors pushing fishers into poverty. Not all fishers experience these events in the same way, however, with some of them showing higher capacity to negotiate risks. In this study, we a...

One of the critical design driving load cases for modern large onshore/offshore wind turbines is power production in extreme turbulence. According to the IEC 61400-1 edition 3 design standard, the normal production extreme loads are extrapolated and compared to the extreme loads obtained under extreme turbulence input. This study shows that using a probabilistic approach and the first order rel...

Since the 2004 publication of C. K. Prahalad’s remarkably inouential The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid: Eradicating Poverty Through Proats, the term “BoP” has become commonplace among development practitioners and corporations. This work argued that, rather than relying upon inefacient governments to provide the poor (i.e., the BoP) with necessary goods and services, the for-proat sector...

A growth model is used in the context of Sala-i-Martin’s definition of conditional convergence to assess the household income dynamics in segmented groups at the provincial level in the Philippines. There is a direct relationship between spending efficiency and income growth convergence across income groups. The lower income convergence rate among low income households can be attributed to thei...

This study aims at shedding some light on the potential impact of agricultural technology adoption on poverty alleviation strategies. It does so through an empirical investigation of the relationship between technological change, of the Green Revolution type, and wellbeing of smallholder farm households in two rural Bangladeshi regions. As technology adoption is not randomly assigned but there ...
