Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The study is spatially located on the Zimbabwe‐Mozambique border and is thematically inclined towards smuggling as a form of mobile livelihood. It explores the rise of smuggling in the post‐colonial era through engaging the different roles played by the state agents and borderland communities as actors involved in smuggling. An attempt is made to zero in on the actual processes at work by exploring the four main actors and their activities regarding smuggling across the Zimbabwe‐Mozambique border, paying particular attention to the experiences of the Penhalonga and Nyaronga communities. It is argued that the cross‐border transactions carried out by the traders in these communities were a means of livelihood and in some instances wealth creation.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
