Glorious autarky? Foreign resources and the British fiscal-military state, 1688-1815 by Graham, A

“…Easy access to these resources enabled ministers to retain a bare-bones military and naval establishments in peacetime and then, in wartime, to ‘surge’ the state by using off- the-shelf foreign military labour to hold the line while British forces were recruited. Relying upon cheap foreign money enabled the British state to hold down taxation and expensive borrowing. …”

Sustainable performance measurement through digital transformation within the sustainable development framework: the mediating effect of supply chain concentration by Sun, Le, Ong, Tze San, Teh, Boon Heng, Di Vaio, Assunta

“…By examining a sample of 3947 listed Chinese firms, this study's results highlight a noteworthy link between digital transformation and enhanced sustainable performance, assessed through the triple bottom line framework, thus helping to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs), such as the eighth and ninth SDGs. …”

Oil palm smallholder's income and sustainable development goals (SDGs) achievement in Peninsular Malaysia by Applanaidu, Shri Devi, Abidin, Norhaslinda Zainal, Mustapha, Mukhtar, Abdullahi Baba, Mohammed, Joseph, Viandrito

“…The analysis showed that all the oil palm smallholders in Peninsular Malaysia have a daily average income far above the poverty line. Johor has the highest daily average income in Peninsular Malaysia, therefore, it is easy for the oil palm smallholders in Johor to achieve SDG 1, SDG 2, SDG 3, SDG 5 and SDG 8 faster than the rest of the oil palm smallholders in Pahang, Selangor and Kelantan with lower average daily incomes…”

Optimizing targeted vaccination across cyber–physical networks: an empirically based mathematical simulation stud by Mones, Enys, Stopczynski, Arkadiusz, Pentland, Alex, Hupert, Nathaniel, Lehmann, Sune

“…Here, we study the digital communication activity of more than 500 individuals along with their person-to-person contacts at a 5-min temporal resolution. We then simulate different disease transmission scenarios on the person-to-person physical contact network to determine whether cyber communication networks can be harnessed to advance the goal of targeted vaccination for a disease spreading on the network of physical proximity. …”

Query lower bounds for log-concave sampling by Chewi, Sinho, de Dios Pont, Jaume, Li, Jerry, Lu, Chen, Narayanan, Shyam

“…In this work, we establish the following query lower bounds: (1) sampling from strongly log-concave and log-smooth distributions in dimension ≥ 2 requires Ω(log) queries, which is sharp in any constant dimension, and (2) sampling from Gaussians in dimension (hence also from general log-concave and log-smooth distributions in dimension) requires Ωe(min( √ log,)) queries, which is nearly sharp for the class of Gaussians. …”
