Colluding Rhino Poachers Exploit Space–Time Variation In Opportunity And Risk

doi.org/10.1111/conl.13106 <-- shared paper

“[R]esearch analysing over 500 rhino poaching incidents and exploring what these patterns reveal about the behaviours of poachers, rangers, and rhinos. [Their] study highlights concerning evidence of criminal syndicate infiltration, space–time targeting by poachers, and how behavioural insights can inform effective responses—from targeted dehorning to bolstering ranger resilience…”

It always takes me some minutes to look up the interpretation guidelines for various effect size measures (yes, I know the rules of thumb are somewhat arbitrary). Today I edited Wikipedia to show three different guidelines for four different measures in the same table. Hopefully this can save some time for other researchers.

The problems in the European Digital Identity (EUDI)

#Methodology can be juicy: In "Against Method", #PaulFeyerabend rails against orthodoxy in #science Certainly, the Kuhnian dynamics of communities of knowledge needs the orthodox pole, too, but any innovation needs "counterinductivity" (nice word), just as deductive innovation in the positive is more limited than in the negative.

"Science is an essentially anarchic enterprise: theoretical anarchism is more humanitarian and more likely to encourage progress than its law-and-order alternatives."

Slowly reading #RoberRosen "Anticipatory Systems". Rosen is the best teacher I've met so far for #mathematics and #methodology: his approach is very systematic, philosophical-minded, and aware of the understanding a reader may have. There always remains work for the reader to fill the gaps, to connect different theories of knowledge, especially in the social.

In AS, Rosen builds the fundamentals of math before connecting it to the fundamentals of #science. The cost of knowledge becomes clear.
