Since 2012, Mali has faced a security crisis fuelled by violence from groups linked to al-Qaida and Islamic State “The Grand Ball of Bamako,” as organisers tagged the Saturday evening soiree at the Hotel de l’Amitié in the Malian capital, was meant to provide one of the west African country’s biggest headlines last weekend. Many sponsors including Orange Mali, the local subsidiary of the French t…

The “Findings from the Field” teaching practice asks students to document and analyze experiences, locations, or artifacts encountered outside the classroom. While traditional field trips emphasize experiential learning by, ideally, linking course concepts to real-world experiences, this “Findings from the Field” approach extends this model through epistemological reflection guided by annotating …

ABSTRACT This study presents a spatial proximity analysis of pharmacy and Medical stores in the Ebute Metta area of Lagos using PostgreSQL with PostGIS extension. The location of all pharmacy stores in the area were mapped out and their accessibility to residential neighborhoods was studied. Geospatial queries, buffer analysis, and proximity calculations were applied to this study, underserved zo…

ABSTRACT This project developed an Automated Urban Vegetation Monitoring System to assess green cover changes in Ezza North LGA, Ebonyi State, using multispectral raster data from 2023 and 2024. NDVI was calculated from NIR and Red bands with Rasterio, NumPy, and GeoPandas after clipping to the study area boundary. Results showed a slight decline in vegetation condition, with moderate vegetation …

This article analyzes how Russian elites construct geopolitical imaginaries of Ukraine that shape the perception of threat from the annexation of Crimea in 2014 to the ongoing war. Moving beyond mega-narratives such as NATO expansion, the study applies critical geopolitics to examine how spatial, historical, and civilizational narratives are deployed in political discourse to define territory, le…

Climate change has increased the frequency and intensity of climate hazards, increasing the importance of monitoring systems for disaster response. Existing climate-monitoring platforms rely on manual database query approaches, which make real-time failure detection difficult. This study proposes a system architecture in which data-collection adapters expose status metrics in a standardized forma…

The two-day hearing marks the first public session for the joint state House and Senate flood investigating committees. Members previously visited Camp Mystic, where 27 girls and the director died.

A specification for a geocoded content platform grounded in Retrieval Basin Theory, the Three Compressions framework, and the Holographic Kernel architecture of the Crimson Hexagonal Archive. The central claim: The Secret Book of Walt (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19703009) is already the prototype — a readable-writable ontology live on public search, a living voice. The geocoded platform extends that arc…

The increasing demand for data-driven governance has prompted local government units (LGUs) to adopt Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to improve planning, decision-making, and service delivery. This study aims to assess the level of GIS readiness and end-user preparedness in selected departments of the Municipal Government of Rodriguez, Rizal, which is currently undertaking GIS implementation…

This study examines the policy implementation gap between the national design of KDMP program and its implementation at regional and village levels, particularly in Riau Province. Using an exploratory qualitative approach, data were collected through literature review, focus group discussions, and in-depth interviews with key stakeholders. The analysis applies a gap analysis framework across five…

When the path does not exist, the problem is not resources — it is geometry. This paper addresses the question that cartographic completion of identity fields opens: given that the map exists, how does navigation begin, and what happens when direct trajectories are not merely expensive but topologically unavailable? The Metastyling Framework models identity as a dynamic field of attractor configu…

The presence of BUMDes is an important factor in improving the economy and community independence, such as through the village savings and loan program. However, the lack of socialization and inaccurate targeting of program recipients are problems that have implications for BUMDes capital turnover. This study aims to explain the optimization of the savings and loan program in BUMDes in realizing …
