The water-energy-food nexus is promoted as a new approach for research and policy-making. But what does the nexus mean in practice and what kinds of benefits does it bring? In this article we share our experiences with using a nexus approach in Cambodia’s Tonle Sap Lake area. We conclude that water, energy and food security are very closely linked, both in the Tonle Sap and in the transboundary...

14 15 Managers frequently face ill-structured or “wicked” prob16 lems. Such problems are characterized by a large degree of 17 uncertainty with respect to how the problem should be 18 approached and how to establish and evaluate the set of 19 alternative solutions. A design theory nexus is a set of 20 constructs and methods that enable the construction of models 21 that connect numerous design ...

A runtime system provides a parallel language compiler with an interface to the low-level facilities required to support interaction between concurrently executing program components. Nexus is a portable runtime system for task-parallel programming languages. Distinguishing features of Nexus include its support for multiple threads of control, dynamic processor acquisition, dynamic address spac...

The Food-Energy–Water (FEW) nexus has been promoted as a tool for improving food, energy, and water resource security via an interdisciplinary approach that acknowledges the inherent synergies tradeoffs involved in managing these resources. Over past decade discussion of increased rapidly, along with research funding output. However, because encompasses so many different disciplines, researcher...

This paper explores the value proposition of using systems tools to model interlinkages that exist between security water, energy, land, and food (WELF) resources peace. The intersection these five sectors, referred as WELF-Peace nexus, is complex, unfolds in a constrained landscape specific context scale, involves interaction multiple their subsystems. Multiple states combined community peace ...

Inviting children to take part in maker movement has been advocated, especially in the context of education. Despite the numerous publications related to making, a more theoretical treatment and common vocabulary of the topic are still lacking. This paper utilizes as its theoretical lens the research framework of nexus analysis, suited for an in-depth study of complex social phenomena, to make ...

Motivated by the concern that the recent surge in inflation could retard growth, the paper revisits the nexus between inflation and growth from the perspective of an emerging economy, India. Examining this relationship using a wavelet multi resolution analysis with varying time scale decomposition suggests a strong and persistent negative relationship between growth and inflation for a short ti...

ICT projects and institutions in developing countries superimpose in a complex interaction. The acceptance of an ICT project by various stakeholders and the contribution to economic development are functions of such interaction. In general, a successful implementation of an ICT project undertaken in a developing country requires significant institutional adjustments. Drawing upon institutional ...
