Food security in developing countries is an essential component of welfare. However, the food security of households can be constrained by the lack of access to international markets, gender inequality, weak agricultural policies and institutions, climate change, and poverty. Smallholder farmers
on food security: i) a spatial autoregressive effect - how neighbors’ (edges’) food security influence a farmer’s food security; ii) how neighbors’ food security affects differently the food security of men and women; and iii) how the food security of neighbors of the same gender affect their own

creation relating to genre, gender, and previous time spent playing digital games or using social media, and B) to quantitatively assess the computational thinking and game design skills demonstrated in the game they create. In the first paper, the games were classified into nine genre categories
, identified from the literature, and their differences were compared. Results indicate a significant quadratic relationship between genders on previous time spent game playing across the different age ranges that were explored (males played more). Both genders reported playing fewer hours of games in
-violent genres. However, when gender is a factor, males are significantly more likely to create violent action games, whereas there was no significance when testing the preferred game genre created by females. In the second paper, the Quality Practices of Game Design Survey was developed to measure the

collision frequency and the independent variables. The second Multinomial logistic regression model was formulated to examine the probability of age categories and gender involved in collision for each day of week considering collision has happened. The proposed collision prediction models were found good
. They could provide a realistic estimate of expected collision frequency and properties of collision for a particular day as a function of number of hours of daylight, number of hours of snowfall, visibility, age and gender. It is hoped that predicted collision frequency will help the decision maker to

Only one experience of a significant and lasting shift in sexual desire during adulthood was reported, occurring in the context of a transition from a male to a female gender
