Majoritarianism and Monoculture (M&M) by Mansoor “Manny” Ahmed, Dann R. Toliver, Hazem Danny Nakib

“…We also show how current software deployment models exacerbate majoritarianism, highlighting the problem of monoculture in client software in particular. We conclude by giving some suggestions on how to make decentralized computing less hostile to those in the minority.…”

Understanding the Impacts of Recurrent Peat Fires in Padang Island – Riau Province, Indonesia by Ari Susanti, Oka Karyanto, Agus Affianto, Ismail Ismail, Satyawan Pudyatmoko, Trias Aditya, Haerudin Haerudin, Hendra Arditya Nainggolan

“…We found that the global demands for agricultural commodities have led to massive peat drainage for monoculture farming on peat lands. The high dependency on global commodity market and monoculture farming has created livelihood vulnerability, especially because of the price fluctuation of agricultural products at global market. …”
