The Resources and Shaping Forces (RSF) model is developed from a case study in Tigray, Northern Ethiopia, using modified grounded theory. It provides a conceptual framework for identifying, describing and analysing livelihood and natural systems at the community level, and helps link the principles of sustainable livelihoods to those of community development. The shaping forces set of instituti...

We continue investigations of reasonable ultrafilters on uncount-able cardinals defined in Shelah [8]. We introduce stronger properties of ul-trafilters and we show that those properties may be handled in λ–support iterations of reasonably bounding forcing notions. We use this to show that consistently there are reasonable ultrafilters on an inaccessible cardinal λ with generating system of siz...

An increasing reliance on commercial tools for non-originality investigation of student submissions is taking academic integrity beyond its comfortable zone. There is no guarantee if such tools will continue to be available and, if they are, that they will be available at a reasonable price. Further the technical underpinning of such tools is unclear and has not been made publicly available. Th...

called a Parallel Force/Velocity Actuator (PFVA), that combines two fundamentally distinct actuators (one using low gear reduction or even direct drive, which we will call a Force Actuator (FA) and the other with a high reduction gear train that we will refer to as a Velocity Actuator (VA)). The objective of this work is to evaluate the effect of the relative scale factor, RSF, (ratio of gear r...

Family planning has been imported to Greece as a means of encouraging individuals to become modern adults by rationalizing their sexual relations and fertility-control efforts. But family-planning discourse neglects how such factors as emotion and so-called traditional belief—including gender norms— guide people's reasonable actions. In this article, I examine how the purported gender neutralit...
