Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Ghana’s current gold rush has exploded at an unprecedented rate and magnitude. Yet, despite their enormous mineral wealth, local mining communities typify the “underdevelopment paradox” common to most extractive-based economies. This disparity has galvanized a collective response from local communities and their activist supporters. Multinational mining corporations have become increasingly influential actors in Ghana’s economic scene, with wide-reaching consequences for local people’s socioecological stability. Consequently, the plight of communities affected by mining is garnering more public attention and mobilizing communities toward increased resistance to these large-scale mining projects, alongside demands for better compensation and improved community infrastructural development. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

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.
