Product Information

Decision-making: Small world play lets learners take control of an environment, supporting decision-making skills and confidence in their decisions. Knowledge management tools and flagship publications on good practice, successful models and policy frameworks Use this handy ​Responsive Planning Template for ELC staff to evaluate children’s responses to your small world play provision and think about the next steps to extend learning during play. New ways to provide food portions in smaller sizes to stimulate reduction of food consumption and reduction of food waste Our approach is holistic, combining advisory and lending services to clients to increase the contribution that SMEs can make to the economy including underserved segments such as women owned SMEs.

The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has made incorrect claims about the world’s reliance on smallholder farmers in the past. One of its reports states that “small-scale farmers produce over 70% of the world’s food needs.” 3 In other reports it has said that smallholder and family farms (which raises issues of how these terms are defined) produce 70-80% of the world’s food. 4 This would mean that small farms produce nearly all of the world’s food. This has become a zombie statistic: one that has been repeated by many other organizations despite there being no evidence to support it. 5 Salavat Fidai started his career as a lawyer; he only turned to art after being laid off during Russia’s fiscal crisis in 2013. With time on his hands, he returned to his childhood pastime of carving. Raised by artist-parents, he remembers sculpting forms from bits of chalk as a young boy. Dorogovtsev SN, Mendes JF (2000). "Exactly solvable analogy of small-world networks". Europhys. Lett. 50 (1): 1–7. arXiv: cond-mat/9907445. Bibcode: 2000EL.....50....1D. doi: 10.1209/epl/i2000-00227-1. S2CID 11334862.Another way to construct a small world network from scratch is given in Barmpoutis et al., [20] where a network with very small average distance and very large average clustering is constructed. A fast algorithm of constant complexity is given, along with measurements of the robustness of the resulting graphs. Depending on the application of each network, one can start with one such "ultra small-world" network, and then rewire some edges, or use several small such networks as subgraphs to a larger graph.

With nearly a billion people already going hungry, how will we manage to feed the world over the coming decades? There’s a tendency to suppose that the job will fall to large-scale commercial farmers, who will need to find ways to produce more food, on less land. Small world play also allows ELC practitioners and parents or carers to engage with children in a lovely and significant way that offers a peek at the child’s perception of the world. It’s also a great way to observe experiences and outcomes at Early Level, while using responsive planning to create plans in response to children’s interests. Their small size and passive safety features lend them to countries with smaller grids and less experience of nuclear power.Bits in Khaki-green are 'work-in-progress' listings and anyone is welcome to add missing details, whether single items or whole chunks. A small-world network is a graph characterized by a high clustering coefficient and low distances. On an example of social network, high clustering implies the high probability that two friends of one person are friends themselves. The low distances, on the other hand, mean that there is a short chain of social connections between any two people (this effect is known as six degrees of separation). [1] Specifically, a small-world network is defined to be a network where the typical distance L between two randomly chosen nodes (the number of steps required) grows proportionally to the logarithm of the number of nodes N in the network, that is: [2] L ∝ log ⁡ N {\displaystyle L\propto \log N}

Small-world networks can change from scale-free class to broad-scale class whose connectivity distribution has a sharp cutoff following a power law regime due to constraints limiting the addition of new links. [21] For strong enough constraints, scale-free networks can even become single-scale networks whose connectivity distribution is characterized as fast decaying. [21] It was also shown analytically that scale-free networks are ultra-small, meaning that the distance scales according to L ∝ log ⁡ log ⁡ N {\displaystyle L\propto \log \log N} . [22] Applications [ edit ] Applications to sociology [ edit ]Several studies have tried to answer this question. The most extensive and recent comes from the work of Vincent Ricciardi and colleagues. 6 They produced the first open dataset on global food production, mapped by farm size. 7 It covers 154 crop types across 55 countries. It not only covers the amount produced across different farm sizes, but also the types of crops and what they are used for – whether they are eaten as food, used as animal feed, or for other uses such as biofuels. The compact architecture enables modularity of fabrication (in-factory), which can also facilitate implementation of higher quality standards. Policy work, analytical work, and other Advisory Services can also be provided in support of SME finance activities.
