Perspective of Smallholder Farmers on Smart Farming Gadgets in Pakistan

In spite of its importance as a backbone for Pakistani economy, agriculture sector is technologically backward. The sustainability of agriculture depends upon promotion and adoption of new agricultural tools among farmers. As technology adoption is a complicated process because of production and technical factors. The increasing need and use of smart technology in the field of agriculture invites us to make an assessment of the behaviour of farming community about trusting on gadgets or protecting their own traditional knowledge. Participatory action research is appreciated method of promoting new gadgets among farmers as compare to linear model but factors like age, literacy level, shortage of money, family size could hinder the process of engagement of smallholder farmers. Simple random sampling will be used to choose farmers out of one forty-two farming families who are active users of agricultural tools in six districts of three provinces of Pakistan under a project related to enhancement of water management skills of farmers. A mix methodology including surveys and interviews will be used to collect data from the smallholder farmers involved in project activities. The data will be analysed in narrative and tabular form. This research will indicate the trends in adopting smart farming gadgets among smallholder farmers. It will catch the insights from farmers and methods to improve the existing system and ways to deal with challenges to get smart technology gadgets into the hands of farmers. It will provide suggestions for the practitioners of participatory action research.
Ethics and Design in the Smart Bikeshare Domain

Contemporary or 'smart' bikeshare schemes have exploited the capacity of information and communications technologies to automate systems and deliver improved mobility and convenience for citizens in a way that is both sympathetic to the environment and cost effective for service providers. However, there is a growing consensus that smart bikeshare is a technology appropriated by elite interests and complicit in processes economic and social stratification. This is evident in uneven service distribution and in design configurations which exclude already marginalized groups. Using an ethical lens derived from critical technology studies, this paper draws on a case study from Hamilton, Canada, which demonstrates the potential of reflexive design practices to address these issues and produce new sociotechnical arrangements which understand system users as active participants in the creation of the systems they appropriate.
Reconfigurable Optical Boolean Function Generator Based on Electro-Optical Nonlinear Dynamics

We propose an optical Boolean function generator based on an electro-optical nonlinear feedback loop. Theoretically, all possible Boolean functions with optical input and output can be implemented by passing through enough iterations. By changing the control signal, the optical circuit can be configured to any desired Boolean function without adjusting the physical setup. Optical components with high bandwidth can improve the computing speed markedly. The impact of noise on the system is considered in detail. The results show that a substantial number of reliable Boolean functions can be obtained in the presence of noise contamination. Compared with traditional optical digital computation systems, the proposed scheme exhibits a huge advantage in multifunctional computing and flexible configuration.
A Comparative Study on Apologetic Behaviors in Physical Damage Situations between Korean and Japanese : Focused on the Characteristics of the Interaction

The purpose of this study is to qualitatively analyze, on the basis of actual conversational data, the kinds of language strategies Korean and Japanese male and female university students use in order to interact with each other when restoring their relationships. When Korean and male and female students had positive and smooth conversations, apologizers uttered expressions of apology (미안하다), acceptance of responsibility, and damage reimbursement in order to actively solve the problem. The opponent of the apologizer also utilized utterances of acceptance and accepted the apologizer’s apologetic behavior when there was the possibility of problem-solving. However, when Korean male students faced negative and unsmooth conversations, the opponent of the apologizer continuously and directly blamed the apologizer, and the apologizer tended to show avoidance of responsibility and utterances of complaint expressions to reject the apologizer’s apologetic behavior. Korean female students utilized words showing friendliness such as ‘friend’ to alleviate damage somewhat when blame between friends or other situations of losing face occurred. When Japanese and male and female students had positive and smooth conversations, the apologizer continuously used expressions of apology (ごめん、すまない、申し訳ない) and uttered acceptance of responsibility and damage reimbursement to solve a problem. The opponent of the apologizer also tended to use concession and utterances of acceptance, rather than utterances of the clear demand for damage reimbursement. In negative and unsmooth conversations, Japanese male student apologizers tended to politely express ending words when the willingness for damage reimbursement was uttered even between friends. When opponents of apologizers are Japanese female students, they tended to use indirect blame more frequently compare to other groups, to avoid linguistic behaviors that could cause the other to lose face.
The Current Implementation and Problems Associated with Learning-Centered Placement for Students with Disabilities : Focusing on a High School Special Education Class in The Gyeongnam Region

The purpose of this study is to determine the current status of and problems associated with the practice of learning-centered placement at special educational sites as well as way to revitalize this process. To achieve the purpose of the study, we surveyed 140 special education classes from 93 high schools in the Gyeongnam region to identify the awareness associated with learning-centered placement, and also to conduct FGI for special education teachers and related officials. As a result of this study, we have identified the problems with the application of learning-centered placement, which include teachers' lack of understanding of the system itself, the administrative and procedural difficulties for application in special education classes, and the difficulty with forming a cooperative relationship between student safety and other related agencies. To resolve these problems, we suggest a series of professional development workshops that would train special education teachers as well stronger accountability through an increase in national support. Moreover, we suggest active participation in the entire process by simplifying the administrative procedures of the learning-centered placement process.

A New Approach to Quantifying the Perceived Contrast of Complex Images

Extensive use of video content in various applications requires a solution to the problem of no-reference quantifying perceived contrast of an image. However, known methods of measuring integral contrast in an image have several disadvantages that significantly limit their use to quantify perceived contrast. In this paper, the problem of improving the accuracy of quantifying perceived contrast for complex multi-element images was considered. A new approach to no-reference quantifying the perceived contrast of the image was proposed. The proposed approach is based on the measurement of perceived contrast in the a reference image with a limited dynamic range, for which Weber-Fechner's law is valid, with subsequent correction of the measurement result taking into accounts the mean for the ratios between the contrast values of the pairs of objects in the reference and the source image. Based on this approach, a new technique for quantifying the perceived image contrast was proposed. Possible implementations of this technique for complete and incomplete integral contrast using weighted and relative contrast kernels proposed. Research confirms the effectiveness of the proposed approach to quantifying the perceived contrast of complex images.
The Anonymous Secure Transmission Mechanism of Power Information Based on Network Coding and Homomorphic Encryption

The business control center of the power grid adjusts grid load and power supply with a large amount of user power data. However, the malicious attacker illegally monitors and steals the user’s power information transmitted by the network, which poses a great threat to the privacy of the user. Aiming at the above problems, this paper proposes an anonymous security transmission mechanism of power information based on network coding and homomorphic encryption technology. Firstly, the data collector divides and encodes the meter information, and encrypts the coding coefficients with the homomorphic encryption function, which ensures the security of transmission information. the forwarding network adopts multipath coding transmission and homomorphic encryption technology, which improves the anonymity, security and ability of anti-collusion attacks of meter information transmission. The analysis results show that only the control center at the receiving end can recover the original communication information by decoding the encoded information, and the transmission mechanism has strong anonymity and security, and has low computational complexity.

Повышение временного разрешения оценки состояния процесса с помощью фильтрации Калмана

The problems of state estimation using the Kalman filtering in the presence of a sensor with a less time resolution of measurements compared to required one are considered. Two ways of solving the problem are highlighted: the output sampling rate lifting using a single sensor and introducing into the system a second one that satisfies the requirement for time resolution of the output data, but is not accurate enough, followed by a fusion of these readings. The analysis of known methods for the state estimates lifting using a single sensor is completed, some modifications are proposed. Using these results, some versions of fusion algorithms based on the known ones developed for combining measurements with the same sampling rates and adapted to considered problem, including measurement fusion before Kalman filter, state vector fusion and its succeeding modifications, are proposed. Well-known published fusion algorithms originally designed for multi-rate sensor fusion are also presented. A comparison of the results of all the algorithms is performed by state estimation using the measurements with various noise and various ratios of the intervals between samples, response to changing the band-pass properties of filter loop is studied. Some advances to choose the optimal method for a special set of values are proposed. A comparison with single sensor technique is completed by evaluation the estimation error, conclusion remarks on advisability of using each of two described techniques are given.

جمالية التعبير بالحركة

aesthetic expression of Diacritical marks Summary: The Diacritical marks in Arabic are short vowels (sounds) that perform a number of functions, including sound, aesthetic and moral functions, which are the main controller and basic standard of meanings. Even the most eloquent people use them in order to show the precise meanings. These marks gives indications wherever they come whether at the beginning of word, in the middle, or at the end. Therefore, attention has to be paid when using these marks because they may be the reason of killing someone or saving him/her and they could dismantle families, or they could make the forbidden / illegal things legal, or they could make a prayer unaccepted. Therefore, this research tries to show their importance even though it is impossible to touch on them adequately in this research
Can p-values be meaningfully interpreted without random sampling?

Besides the inferential errors that abound in the interpretation of p-values, the probabilistic pre-conditions (i.e. random sampling or equivalent) for using them at all are not often met by observational studies in the social sciences. This paper systematizes different sampling designs and discusses the restrictive requirements of data collection that are the indispensable prerequisite for using p-values.

A Study on the Problems and Improvements of the Police's Sexual Offender Management Plan

이 연구는 경찰의 신상정보 등록 대상자에 대한 관리·감독상의 시스템이 여성청소년과 수사관의 인식 또는 태도, 그리고 업무 오류에 대한 불안감과 실무 현장에서의 안전도 인식에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대해 신상정보 등록제도 담당 수사관 3명을 대상으로 내러티브 탐구를 하였다. 이전의 다수 연구와 달리 법률적 쟁점에 대해 논하기보다는 신상정보 등록제도를 담당하는 경찰의 입장에서 정책적·실무적인 접근방식의 어려움 즉, 여성청소년과 수사관으로서의 현실적인 문제점을 공감하고 이해하며 향후 나아가야 할 방향성을 제시하였다. 연구결과 연구 참여자는 자신의 업무를 수행하는 과정에서 신상정보 등록 대상자에 대한 현장 대면 방식, 그들 스스로에 대한 낙인과 편견의 거부반응에 의한 마찰 등 부정적 경험으로 발생한 다양한 스트레스와 마주하고 있었다. 연구 참여자는 과도한 업무 스트레스와 함께 성범죄의 재범 억제 차원에서의 부서 만족감을 내적 병행하고 있었으며, 이 부분이 여성청소년과의 업무 지속성과 개인별 부서이동에 대한 선택을 좌우하고 있었다. 이 연구는 신상정보등록대상자를 현장에서 마주하는 실무 여성청소년과 수사관의 현장텍스트에 대한 정보를 활용하여 신상정보 등록 대상자 관리방안에 대한 이해를 돕고 향후 개선방안에 대한 인식에 영향을 주었다는데 충분한 의의가 있다.This study was conducted to investigate the effects of police s management and supervision system on the perception or attitude of female adolescents and investigators, anxiety about work errors, and perception of safety in the field of work.,Unlike previous studies, it suggested the difficulties of policy and practical approach from the viewpoint of the police in charge of the personal information registration system rather than discussing legal issues, that is, sympathy and understanding the realistic problems as female youth and investigators, and the direction to move forward. The research participants were faced with various stresses caused by negative experiences such as face-to-face manners of sex offenders, stigma against themselves, and friction caused by rejection of prejudice during their work, The participants were working with excessive stress and department satisfaction in order to suppress recidivism of sex crimes, and this part was affecting the continuity of work with female adolescents and the choice of individual departmental movements. This study is meaningful in that it helps understanding of the management plan of sex offenders and influences on the recognition of future improvement plan by utilizing information about field text of female youth and investigators in the field unlike previous studies.
Reframing the National Art Museum: the Trajectory and Controversy towards the Operational Autonomy: the Case of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea

본 연구는 전지구화의 일면인 신자유주의적 경제논리와 맞물리며 예술기관의 자율성 확보라는 과제에 대응해왔던 국립현대미술관(이하 국현)의 사례를 다룬다. 국현은 개관 이후 정부의 개발주도형 국가체제와 관료주의적 논리로 인해 그 운영 자율성이 제한된 상태로 운영되어왔다. 1997년의 IMF 금융위기 이후, 국현은 신자유주의적 패러다임의 세계적 확산과 동시에 정부 부문의 구조조정 차원에서 시도된 책임운영기관화와 특수법인화의 대상기관으로 지정되면서 그 운영적 자생력을 평가받게 된다. 논문에서는 두 정책 사업이 어떠한 문화사회적 배경 하에 추진되었는지를 살펴본다. 나아가 이 사업의 시행 또는 철회 여부와는 별개로 국립예술기관의 운영 자율성을 보장한다는 취지에서 시행하고자 했던 책임운영기관화와 특수법인화가 국현의 이해주체들 간의 어떠한 충돌을 야기했는지 논의해본다. 연구 결과, 신자유주의 담론에 입각한 조직개편은 국현으로 하여금 차별적 맥락의 ‘공공성’을 동시적으로 충족시켜야 하는 운영적 딜레마를 야기할 수 있다. 또한 정부의 개입을 최소화하여 경쟁 원리에 따른 성과중심 체제를 정착시킨다는 본래의 취지와는 달리, 위 제도들의 실질적 운영 주체가 여전히 국가(정부)이며 그 영향력이 영속적인 형태로 유지될 수 있음을 조명했다.This study focuses on the case of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea (hereafter MMCA) that has faced the issue of securing autonomy as an art institution in association with the neoliberal logic of economy as part of globalization. The MMCA was opened with limited operational autonomy due to the government’s development-driven national system and bureaucratic perspective. Since being selected as an institution subject to a range of restructuring consequent to the IMF crisis in 1997, the MMCA is being assessed for its operational autonomy since then. This paper examines the socio-cultural background of the implementation of the Korean type of ‘Executive Agency’ and ‘Non-Departmental Public Body’. Furthermore, regardless of the result of either implementation or withdrawal after the projects, this paper explains how these administrative reforms lead the conflicts between stakeholders, which would promote the MMCA’s autonomy. As a result, the institutional restructuring process based on the neoliberal perspective might result in the operational dilemma that must simultaneously fulfil the publicness in a different context. Moreover, unlike the original intent to establish a performance-based system based on the principle of competition while minimizing government intervention, this study illuminates that the influence of the nation(or government) as the actual agent of the projects may become permanent. It implies that since the establishment and development project of MMCA has initialized the concept of statism based on legal authority, the operational autonomy of the MMCA which is premised on the reinforcement of expertise and publicness cannot be prioritized over the direction and control of the government.
