Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

amaica's global profile often highlights tourism, reggae music, and world-renowned coffee from the Blue Mountains.Less discussed, however, is the island's longstanding reliance on bauxite, the mineral ore from which aluminum is produced, and how its extraction over several decades has entailed significant environmental and social disruption.Bauxite mining in Jamaica dates to the mid-20th century, when colonial legacies dovetailed with new forms of North American-particularly Canadian-and later multinational corporate involvement (Bobb, 2014).By the 1950s, Jamaica had become a world leader in bauxite exports, despite major ecological and social sacrifices (Campbell, 1987).The Jamaican case underscores the urgent need to address accountability gaps that enable Canadian multinational corporations to perpetuate environmental harm with impunity, while also providing a new way of defining what objects of study fit the field of Canadian Studies, especially in transnational research.

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.
