Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Globally, disasters affect every domain of human activity and cause devastating losses across the \nhuman, economic and environmental domains. While they are extremely difficult to predict and \nprevent, the global society is, in principle, more than capable of mitigating many of the most \nsevere consequences. Worryingly, while the prevailing efforts often fall short future disaster \nimpacts are likely to become even less effective because of several compounding factors. \nAmong the various novel perspectives that emerged to resolve the shortcomings of current \ndisaster risk management efforts, a promising insight is offered by the lens of institutional \nvulnerability. This research provides a strong rationale for the recognition of institutional \nvulnerability as an insightful tool in addressing the most common areas of criticism around the \nexisting DRM approaches. These finding are based on a case study analysis that centers around \nthe 2019 Cyclone Idai and its impact on the City of Beira. \nThe research reveals that institutional vulnerability is both a factor in the progression of \nvulnerability, but also a key mitigating variable in the development of the disaster. By expanding \nthe analysis of the progression of vulnerability to include institutional vulnerability, it is possible \nto create a more comprehensive account of how a disaster unfolds and recognize the key role that \ninstitutional vulnerability has in amplifying or mitigating the disasters.

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.
