Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Safe drinking water is key to individual and community health. Water safety is often evaluated based on whether or not a community's drinking water meets the quality standards specified by a governing authority. These water quality standards address many microbial and chemical water safety risks but may not capture risks that are difficult to quantify or community-specific needs and preferences. Water safety planning, first introduced by the World Health Organization, is a more holistic approach that aims to integrate water system stakeholders, system mapping, hazard identification and matrices to better characterise risk. In this study, we documented previous efforts to apply water WSPs in Arctic jurisdictions and evaluated existing risk scoring systems for potential application to Nunavut, an Arctic territory in Canada. The observations from the evaluation informed the development of a preliminary WSP framework for Nunavut which considers both past frequency and the existing hazard barriers in place when determining the likelihood score.

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.
