Mr. Alfred Nobel was a Swedish scientist and inventor who developed dynamite. While dynamite brought him wealth through its military uses, he was troubled that his invention contributed to war. His secretary Bertha von Suttner influenced him with her pacifist ideas. In his will, Nobel donated most of his fortune to establish the Nobel Prizes, including the Nobel Peace Prize, to honor those who work to promote peace between nations. He wanted the prizes awarded based on merit rather than nationality.

National development and political promises
This document summarizes the evolution of the meaning of economic development from the 1950s to the 2000s based on lectures from an agricultural economic development course. It shows how the definition has expanded over time from a narrow focus on economic growth to incorporate broader concepts such as equitable distribution of income, meeting basic human needs, political and social rights, environmental sustainability, and human freedom. Key aspects of development are now seen as promoting economic growth, reducing inequality, enhancing quality of life, respecting rights, ensuring intergenerational equity, and empowering individuals through participation in the development process.
Benchmarking the nre cams degree plan
The document benchmarks the degree plan for NRE-CAMS against Pennsylvania State University's program in Agricultural Economics and Natural Resource Management. It finds that the NRE-CAMS plan allocates slightly more courses to general education like language and basic sciences, which is justified. Both programs allocate around 42% of courses to the major and 16% to the minor. However, Penn State offers a wider variety of minor subjects.
Economic framework to guide research priorities
1) Agricultural research involves investing scarce resources (costs) to generate knowledge that increases future agricultural productivity and contributes to economic and social objectives (benefits).
2) An economic guideline for prioritizing agricultural research is that the benefits of the research must outweigh the costs.
3) Socio-economic objectives like efficiency, equity, and security can provide the basis for research prioritization according to criteria like increased income, fair income distribution, and reduced income variability.

The document provides an autobiographical summary of the author's life in 3 sentences or less for each major life stage or role: as a child growing up in a village in Sri Lanka, as a student through school and university, as a teacher and professor, as the chairman of various organizations, and as a family man.
2. It describes his upbringing in a rural village, experiences in elite private schools, academic success through university, and career spanning over 30 years as an educator in Sri Lanka and abroad.
3. The author reflects on the meaning and importance of being a teacher and using the role to be "socially worthy" by helping students and others.
I am only a child
1) Hemesiri Kotagama gave a presentation titled "I am only a child..." about the importance of sharing, both within and across generations.
2) The presentation discussed sharing from perspectives such as science, economics, politics, religion and highlighted examples like Severm Suzuki's speech to the UN on behalf of future generations.
3) Kotagama shared his experiences working to provide fairness to "failures" through vocational training and environmental economics. He received several honors over his career for his contributions to education in Sri Lanka.
A globalization and education
Globalization has led to significant changes in education through increased capitalism, technology, and cultural blending. Capitalism and the free market have commoditized education and increased competition and specialization. Information technology has made education more effective by using multimedia and allowing online/distance learning, but has also increased demands for new technical skills. Globalization is homogenizing languages and demanding multilingual skills, while also leading to a cultural "curry" or blend. Education must recognize and accommodate this cultural diversity to promote social cohesion and peace in an interconnected world.
Principles of economics
The document outlines the proposed course outline for an introductory economics course. It covers the following key topics in 3 sentences or less:
- What is economics, including human nature, scarcity of resources, and decision making.
- Different economic systems like markets and centrally planned economies.
- The evolution of markets through specialization, comparative advantage, invention of money, and information technology enabling trade and price signals to guide resource allocation.
Pharmaceutical presentation final
1. The document examines the potential for pharmaceutical prospecting to finance forest biodiversity conservation in Sri Lanka. It reviews past studies that estimate the willingness to pay for pharmaceutical prospecting and finds values ranging from pennies to $9,000 per hectare per year.
2. An empirical case study of the Knuckles forest estimates different willingness to pay values for pharmaceutical prospecting based on varying parameters. Several estimates exceed the opportunity cost of agricultural land use, supporting the hypothesis that pharmaceutical prospecting could incentivize conservation.
3. While the potential exists, significant challenges remain around establishing benefit-sharing legislation and appropriating pharmaceutical benefits to realize the potential of prospecting for biodiversity conservation in Sri Lanka. Broad public consultation
Food security as a public good
Oman imports nearly 95% of its cereal requirements and is therefore vulnerable to food price volatility. The paper examines prospects for cultivating wheat domestically in Oman to help assure food security. Analysis shows that wheat cultivation would not be viable under current market prices but could be competitive if the gross margin was increased by more than 414 Omani Rials per hectare, such as through subsidies similar to those used successfully in Saudi Arabia. Maintaining domestic wheat production capacity is argued to produce the public good of strategic food security for the nation.
Worl food day presentation 2012 november 13 food security in oman
This document discusses food security in Oman, including its global and domestic positions. Globally, food prices have risen significantly in recent years due to various demand and supply factors. Oman was historically mostly self-sufficient in food but now imports over 50% of its needs. The government of Oman plays an important role in ensuring food security through improving local production efficiency, adopting food assistance programs, and diversifying food imports. In the short term, Oman secured additional food imports to address rising domestic food prices. Long term, the government aims to enhance agriculture education, research and investments to boost domestic production capacity and food security prospects.
Kota university day presentation
This document summarizes a study on the impact of rising food prices on household food security in Oman. It finds that:
1) Food prices in Oman increased substantially between 2003-2008, with the cost of the nutritionally adequate diet rising over 30% in that period.
2) Measures of food insecurity, such as the food security headcount and gap, revealed that rising prices decreased food security in Oman in the short-run.
3) However, in the long-run food security has improved due to increased incomes and a more equal distribution of income, according to the study's decomposition analysis. Continued pro-poor economic policies are recommended to further strengthen food security.
Food security in oman
This document discusses food security in Oman, including its current position and prospects. Globally, food prices have risen significantly since 2007 due to increased demand from population growth and dietary changes in China and India, as well as the use of crops for biofuels. While Oman was historically self-sufficient in food, it now relies heavily on imports due to a growing population and limited suitable land. The document examines prospects for increasing wheat and fish production domestically, as well as the important role of the government in ensuring food security through buffer stocks, import monitoring, and investments in agriculture.
Financing watershed
This document proposes a conceptual framework for a national policy on financing watershed management in Sri Lanka. It discusses several key points, including the need to consider both demand and supply of financing at each node of the water cycle. Currently, watershed management in Sri Lanka is underfunded and heavily reliant on intermittent foreign financing. The framework argues for securing national financing and allocating public funds earmarked for watershed management from the central government to provincial authorities. Generating provincial-level financing mechanisms and improving efficiency are also recommended.
Sl embassy presentation biodiversity
Sri Lanka has exceptionally high levels of biodiversity relative to its small land area, with high numbers of endemic plant and animal species. This biodiversity contributes significantly to Sri Lanka's status as a global biodiversity hotspot. Conserving biodiversity is important for sustainable development and for potential financial benefits through bioprospecting of plants for pharmaceuticals and other uses. Estimates suggest pharmaceutical prospecting could generate $50-800 per hectare annually for biodiversity conservation in Sri Lanka if the country formally appropriates benefits from such activities.
Food waste in oman environment day 2013
This document discusses food waste in Oman at various levels of the food system. It finds that:
1) Overall food waste in Oman is moderate at 5.5% of total supply, lower than the global average of 33%, though waste is higher for certain foods like fruits.
2) Household food waste in Oman is estimated to be high at 35% of food served. Young children and adolescents waste over half the food they are served.
3) Omanis on average consume 121% of recommended daily energy and 192% of protein intake, indicating overconsumption and potential waste.
4) Proactive activities by the Department of Natural Resources include conferences, curriculum development, and student
Hemesiri world env day 2012
1. The document discusses water management approaches in Oman, comparing the visible failures in groundwater management to the past invisible successes in surface water (aflaj) management.
2. It analyzes the economic root causes of the problems, finding that the success of aflaj was due to strong socio-economic institutions that managed the "tragedy of the commons," while groundwater failures resulted from a lack of institutions to do the same.
3. Key differences that led to success with aflaj included well-defined and enforced property rights, local leadership, trust between users, and users' dependence on the sustainable management of the small and predictable resource system.
Tsunami education
This document discusses natural disasters like tsunamis and their management through education. It provides recommendations from a Presidential Task Force on disaster management in Sri Lanka, including increasing public awareness and incorporating disaster education into school curriculums. It argues that while the causes of natural disasters are natural, their impacts depend on human vulnerability and resilience, which can be increased through preparedness. Preparedness involves both technological solutions like early warning systems but also educating people to recognize signs of disasters using their senses, as demonstrated by a 10-year old girl who recognized a tsunami was coming based on what she learned in school. The document advocates for disaster education as a way to help communities save themselves.
Presentation foreign remittance and economic development
This document discusses foreign remittance and its role in economic development. It notes that remittances to Sri Lanka exceed foreign direct investment by 2-3 times and account for 7% of GDP. While remittances have helped reduce poverty and supported consumption, their development impact remains ambiguous as most funds are spent on consumption rather than investment. The document advocates policies to encourage productive migration, formalize remittance channels, and mobilize remittances towards investments in small businesses and infrastructure through instruments like Sri Lanka's Nation Building Bonds. With effective policies, remittances could significantly contribute to Sri Lanka's development across different dimensions.

Border towns and spaces of (in)visibility.pdf
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteUniversity of North Carolina at Charlotte
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.
