Published: January 2024

Aim of study: To develop and assess a cotton fertilizer applicator integrated with a Machine Vision Based Embedded System (MVES) to achieve precise and site-specific fertilization. Area of study: The investigation was performed in the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. Material and methods: The MVES included a cotton detection system with a web camera, processor (computer), and python-based algorithm, and a fertilizer metering control unit with a stepper motor, motor driver, power supply, and microcontroller. The python-based algorithm in the computer predicts the presence (or absence) of cotton plants, whenever an input image is received from the camera. Upon cotton detection, it transforms into a Boolean signal sent to the microcontroller via PySerial communication, which instructs the motor to rotate the metering unit. Motor adjusts the speed of metering unit based on machine speed measured through a hall sensor, ensuring site-specific delivery of metered fertilizer A developed lab setup tested the MVES, experimentally examining performance indicators. Main results: The MVES obtained a MAPE of 5.71% & 8.5%, MAD 0.74 g/plant & 1.12 g/plant for urea and DAP (di-ammonium phosphate), respectively. ANOVA revealed no statistically significant effect of forward speed on the discharge fertilizer amount (p>0.05). For urea, discharge rates ranged from 1.03 g/s (at 10 rpm, 25% exposure length of metering unit) to 40.65 g/s (at 100 rpm, 100% exposure). DAP ranged from 1.43 to 47.66 g/s under similar conditions. Research highlights: The delivered application dosage conformed the recommended dosage. The developed MVES was reliable, had a quick response, and worked properly.

Rebellion against the Absurdity of Life: focused on The Myth of Sisyphus and The Four Books
Authors:   Asia Cultural Creativity Inst., Joung Hyesun
Published: January 2024

Yan Lianke is internationally recognized as one of the three great masters of modern Chinese literature, along with Yuhua and Moyen. In China, however, many of his books are banned. Yan Lianke wants to be able to write freely, to reflect reality, and to capture in his own way the memories of a past that has been selectively erased in Chinese history. This article considers absurdity and rebellion to focus on Yan Lianke’s work, and to explore this, we first look to Camus’s The Myth of Sisyphus and The Stranger to understand the meaning of absurdity and rebellion. By examining the personal and historical circumstances of both Camus and Yan Lianke, we will further explore the meaning of absurdity and rebellion through their lives. The Four Books deals with the events that take place in the power-controlled space of the Yuxin District, and because it is described through Yan Lianke’s own expression, readers may feel that the content and expression are somewhat exaggerated. However, the situations depicted in The Four Books are not only the past history of actual China, but also a projection of the current China. There is a difference between Camus’ and Yan Lianke’s perception of rebellion. While Camus saw this rebellion at the level of individual lives, Yan Lianke goes a step further and not only criticizes the absurdity of China, but also hopes that each individual will wake up and rebel, and through this, China will become a better country.

Published: January 2024

As a result of changes in climate factors, the number of natural hazards has become more frequent. To achieve optimal governance of disaster risk, it is essential to consider climate change and modify the strategy so that it aligns with the agenda for reducing disaster risk. This paper’s findings are the result of a qualitative methodology that included a review of the literature on the topic DRR and CCA relates to both international and domestic policy in Malaysia. It discovered gaps in the convergence of DRR and CCA in terms of policy formulation, governance systems, and linkage among actors. To close the gaps, a comprehensive approach that involves multi-level governance as well as multi-sectoral initiatives through multiple disciplinary methods would be required. This necessitates a governance system that encourages the participation of actors from both domains in order to achieve greater sustainable development and climate risk management.
Skills to pay the bills: a review of the Skills for Jobs White Paper, including considerations for supporting the adult education agenda
Authors: Standen Gemma
Published: January 2024

The Skills for Jobs White Paper and Lifelong Learning Entitlement (LLE) have been anticipating changes in UK policy. Participation in adult education and work-based opportunities has been in decline for over 15 years, but without a clear information, advice and guidance (IAG) strategy
and framework, there is reasonable doubt if the intended outcomes will be met. Using a narrative literature review relating to IAG, mature students and lifelong learning, this article finds the key to the success in supporting the adult education agenda involves collaboration. This should
involve regional-level partnerships to map out provision with education providers, employers and local government, ensuring representation of the group through targeted initiatives, personal support and guidance.
Balancing family, education and work: a qualitative study of mature women studying in higher education
Authors: Smith Joanne
Published: January 2024

This article explores the transformative experiences of ten mature, female, widening participation students, and their families, as they merged higher education (HE) study into the home to manage diverse demands. Set in a university in Northwest England, this smallscale, qualitative
approach, influenced by social constructionism and feminism, incorporated semi-structured interviews (10) and a focus group. It explores experiences of work-life balance (WLB) and wellbeing as HE study was added to daily life and merged into the home sphere. The findings reveal the benefits
of home-based study and work-based learning for mature learners with varied responsibilities. The women developed academically and practically, and transformed as they experienced university life to gain an increased sense of belonging, which normalised university attendance in households,
a change here referred to as the 'learning family'.

Navigating financial barriers in English universities: a phenomenographic exploration of mature male students' experiences
Authors: Abid Hinna , Herrick Tim
Published: January 2024

This article, through phenomenographic research methodology explores mature male students' experiences of financial barriers in English universities 1, further exacerbated by factors of class, race and age. Up until now, phenomenography has mainly been used in educational research,
exploring students' conceptions of learning. This study employs phenomenography to explore student experiences in different contexts. The study provides first-hand insights into the experiences of mature male students and the impact of financial barriers on them as there is limited literature,
with the exception of a few researchers (Burke, 2009; Egerton, 2001; Gannon, 2014; Laming et al., 2019) on the experiences of mature male students. The voices of mature male students in specific contexts, as in the case of English universities, have been marginalised owing to multiple,
intersecting factors. In drawing qualitative data from 15 mature male students studying at three Russell Group universities, this study offers important insights from students' perspectives on governmental and institutional fees and funding structures where a) the day-to-day living cost takes
precedence over deferred debt of tuition fees, and b) financial challenges lead to further academic and social challenges. By raising awareness that education can be a transformative experience only when financial challenges are addressed, this study proposes small-scale interventions at the
institutional level to enhance mature male students' university experiences.

Background:Diabetes increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Corrective diet and Regular ECG monitoringcan be used as a tool for prevention and timely diagnosis. Introduction:Diabetes increases the risk of atherosclerosis, which is associated with Acute coronary syndrome.Almost 25 to 30% of patients who have ACS also have diabetes (1). Acute Coronary syndrome (ACS) represents agroup of diseases with abnormal S T elevations, which is detectable through ECG graphs. Patients with diabetesfrequently exhibit dyslipidemia, which is an abnormal level of 1 or more types of fat in blood, which over timecan lead to vascular abnormalities (2). High concentration of serum- Low-Density Lipoproteins (LDL) indicates atendency for clot formation. High Concentration of these fatty acids in the blood is largely a consequence of theunhealthy dietary habits of diabetic patients apart from the metabolic disorder itself. Method:Search engines for example PUBMED and GOOGLE SCHOLAR were explored to find out the evidencein the given respect for past 10 years. Only English language studies were included. Result and Discussions:Significant relationship has been established by previous research studies, suggestiveof the coincidence of dyslipidemia in diabetic people ultimately associated with an increased risk of heart attack.Regular Electrocardiogram monitoring and a remedial diet are highly advisable to avoid cardiac emergencies in thediabetic population.
A new proposal for interaction with the territory: origin, potential, and challenges of Brazilian Federal Institutes of Education
Authors: Silva André Luis Nogueira da , Nonato Raquel Sobral , Spink Peter Kevin
Published: January 2024

Recent studies have shown that higher education institutions play a significant role in national development and can modify the socioeconomic and cultural context of their surroundings when acting in a civically engaged manner. In this perspective, this article analyzes the new institutional design of the Brazilian Federal Institutes of Education (IFEs) and the process that gave rise to these institutions, highlighting the potentials and challenges for their civic engagement. The research consists of exploring the norms established by the IFE, outlining the way they operate and analyzing semi-structured interviews conducted with executives of the Brazilian Ministry of Education (MEC). We argue that the verticalization of teaching, research, and extension, and the emphasis on local development indicate that IFEs represent a new form of conception of technical and vocational education in Brazil. Behind the creation of this new institutional framework underlies the premise of difficulty of traditional universities in interacting with the territory in which they operate.

This research study aimed to investigate the fuel consumption rates of different types of fuel for a 2009 Toyota Altis 1.6 car. The objective was to determine the fuel consumption rates of various types of gasoline and compare them. Four different fuel types were used in the experiments: gasoline 91, gasoline 95, gasoline E20, and gasoline E85. Data was collected from the car's Engine Control Unit (ECU) using a G-scan 2 device during test drives covering a distance of 8 kilometers in urban driving conditions. Three main factors were considered during the experiments: consistent single-driver performance throughout the tests, controlled additional equipment in the vehicle, and varying environmental conditions. On average, the research found that gasoline 91 had the highest fuel consumption rate, averaging 0.73 liters, indicating relatively high fuel wastage during driving. In contrast, gasoline 95 had the lowest average fuel consumption rate at 0.54 liters for the same 8-kilometer distance. This is attributed to the fact that gasoline 95 has a higher-octane rating of 95%, making it more suitable for this type of engine. Additionally, gasoline E20 had an average fuel consumption rate of 0.64 liters, while gasoline E85 had an average fuel consumption rate of 0.66 liters over the same test distance. Gasoline 95 consistently demonstrated the lowest fuel consumption among the four fuel types. Furthermore, the research also calculated the energy content of each fuel type. Gasoline 91 was found to have an energy content of 273,755.2 kJ, gasoline 95 had an energy content of 271,857.6 kJ, both of which were relatively close due to their main component being gasoline. On the other hand, E20 had an energy content of 48,428.94 kJ, and E85 had an energy content of 37,426.66 kJ, both lower due to their higher ethanol content. In conclusion, among the four tested fuel types, gasoline 95 exhibited the lowest fuel consumption rate for the 2009 Toyota Altis 1.6. Additionally, the energy content of the fuels showed that gasoline 91 and gasoline 95 had similar values, primarily composed of gasoline, while E20 and E85 had lower energy contents due to their higher ethanol content.

The objective of this research is to develop the prototype truck-loading equipment for conveying sugarcane bundles. The main components are the machine frame, conveyor chain, conveyor tray, and a power engine unit. Three levels of chain conveyor speed were tested: 12, 14, and 16 rpm. The test results showed that the speed of the conveyor chain at 14 rpm has the most capacity in actual work because when the speed of the conveyor chain was increased to 16 rpm, the workers who responsible for bundling sugarcane on the truck could not keep up with the conveyor speed. Therefore, the capacity of the conveying system decreases with an average actual working capacity of 5.41 tons/hr. The average field efficiency was 82.00%, and the average fuel consumption was 0.31 L/hr. Compared to the method of loading sugarcane bundles onto trucks according to the method commonly used by farmers, it was found that the average capacity of loading sugarcane bundles onto trucks was 3.10 tons/hr., which is 74.51% less than the system of using human labour together with equipment to load sugarcane bundles onto trucks. The break-even point and payback period are 455.44 tons and 71 working days when using a conveyor chain speed of 14 rpm.

The objective of this research is to decrease the duration of model changeover times in the metal package printing process. The study involved the collection of data on the changeover times of the LP7 offset printer model, followed by the utilization of flow process charts to examine four different activities: Feeder, Printer, Coater, and Stacker. It was discovered that certain procedures experienced delays and exhibited prolonged durations. Hence, this study proposed guidelines for improvement aimed at minimizing the duration required for model alteration through the application of the Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) principle, achieved by transitioning internal tasks to external tasks. The application of the ECRS method involved the creation of an additional equipment to scoop ink, the use of ink duct foils to cover an ink plate, the rearrangement of work sequences, and the set of pallet shelves. The results indicated that there was a decrease in changeover times in the Printer activity, from 221.26 minutes to 167.26 minutes, resulting in a reduction of 24.41%. Similarly, in the Coater activity, the changeover times decreased from 79.45 minutes to 49.45 minutes, representing a decrease of 37.76%. Additionally, in the Stacker activity, the changeover times decreased from 55 minutes to 30 minutes, representing a reduction of 45.45% compared to the previous duration.

The objective of this research paper is to analyze the effects of installing a separate Lift and Thrust vertical takeoff system for fixed-wing solar powered UAVs in terms of flight performance changes. This research article uses a prototype aircraft in this study, which is a fixed-wing aircraft powered by an electrical system and equipped with a solar system. There are 2 types of designs, namely the type with installation and without installation of the Vertical Take-Off and Landing system which the vertical take-off and landing aircraft compared to the normal configuration will weigh 42.48% more and have a zero-lift drag coefficient of 67.1% more. The initial step involves creating an aircraft model in the XFLR5 software to assess the lift and drag coefficients and compare them with the wind tunnel test results. Subsequently, the software analysis findings are used to evaluate the flight performance of both aircraft configuration, as well as to identify the performance changes that occur when the VTOL system is installed. The outcomes align with expectations, installing a VTOL system leads to a significant reduce in flight performance, In particular, the Endurance and maximum range of vertical take-off aircraft are only 41.55% and 43.43% of normal aircraft and for solar-powered systems. The vertical takeoff has the Endurance and range is 31.46% and 32.06% of normal aircraft equipped with solar systems. which can be distinctly contrasted with the performance of aircraft in various aspects. However, these compromises are made in exchange for the capability to take off and land vertically.
Teaching with the Virus: Sociomaterial Assemblages and the Production of Schooling During COVID-19
Authors: Hill Cher , MacDonald Margaret
Published: January 2024

Using new materiality theory, we analyzed teachers’ and administrators’ descriptions of educational practices and everyday life in schools during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, the virus and the Provincial Health Authority were agential parts of classrooms that both restricted pedagogical possibilities, as well as created openings for something new to occur. As educators taught “with the virus,” pedagogy and curriculum unfolded rhizomatically shooting off in different and often unexpected directions. Our research makes visible how teaching is always a co-creative act of participating with the material, affective, and relational landscapes of practice.

En utilisant la théorie de la nouvelle matérialité, nous avons analysé les descriptions faites par les enseignants et les administrateurs des pratiques éducatives et de la vie quotidienne dans les écoles au cours de la première année de la pandémie de COVID-19. Pendant cette période, le virus et l'autorité provinciale de santé ont fait partie intégrante des salles de classe, restreignant les possibilités pédagogiques tout en créant des ouvertures pour l’émergence de quelque chose de nouveau. Alors que les éducateurs enseignaient "avec le virus", la pédagogie et le programme scolaire se sont développés comme des rhizomes en prenant des directions différentes et souvent inattendues. Notre recherche met en évidence le fait que l'enseignement est toujours un acte cocréatif de participation avec les paysages matériels, affectifs et relationnels de la pratique.

Educator Understandings of Wellness: Barriers and Supports in Northern Alberta First Nations Schools
Authors: Greidanus Elaine , Burleigh Dawn , Mai'Stonia Daphne
Published: January 2024

School communities thrive when educators actively foster wellness. Educators working in First Nations communities conceptualize wellness in unique ways and are active agents in creating opportunities to meet their own wellness needs. This research explores conceptions, supports, and challenges related to wellness from the perspectives of teachers and educational assistants from three First Nation schools in northern Alberta. This qualitative case study includes interviews with 19 educators, and preliminary understandings revealed that educators situate their own wellness within the context of the school and larger community. They prioritize physical wellness and understand that emotional and psychological wellness are also often important. Finally, factors such as isolation, land, access, distance, and cost are seen as barriers to wellness by many. These same factors also represent opportunities to engage in wellness in ways that are less accessible to educators working and living in urban centers. We conclude that attention must be paid to the unique educator wellness needs in First Nations community schools as wellness-promoting initiatives are explored.

Les communautés scolaires s'épanouissent lorsque les éducateurs favorisent activement le bienêtre. Les éducateurs travaillant dans les communautés des Premières nations conceptualisent le bienêtre de façon unique et sont des agents actifs dans la création d'occasions pour répondre à leurs propres besoins en matière de bienêtre. Cette recherche explore les conceptions, les soutiens et les défis liés au bienêtre du point de vue des enseignants et des assistants pédagogiques de trois écoles des Premières nations du nord de l'Alberta. Cette étude de cas qualitative comprend des entrevues avec 19 éducateurs, et les résultats préliminaires révèlent que les éducateurs situent leur propre bienêtre dans le contexte de l'école et de la communauté dans son ensemble. Ils accordent la priorité au bienêtre physique et comprennent que le bienêtre émotionnel et le bienêtre psychologique sont aussi souvent importants. Enfin, des facteurs tels que l'isolement, le territoire, l'accès, la distance et le coût sont considérés par beaucoup comme des obstacles au bienêtre. Ces mêmes facteurs représentent également des occasions de s'engager dans le bienêtre d'une manière qui est moins accessible aux éducateurs travaillant et vivant dans les centres urbains. Nous concluons qu'il faut prêter attention aux besoins uniques des éducateurs en matière de bienêtre dans les écoles communautaires des Premières nations lors de l’exploration d’initiatives de promotion du bienêtre.

Let $P_{k+1}$ denote a path of length $k$, $C_{\ell}$ denote a cycle of length $\ell$, and $K_{n}(\lambda)$ denote the complete multigraph on $n$ vertices in which every edge is taken $\lambda$ times. In this paper, we have obtained the necessary conditions for a $\{P_{k+1}, C_{\ell}\}$-decomposition of $K_{n}(\lambda)$ and proved that the necessary conditions are also sufficient when $k=4$ and $\ell=6$.
Spirals in Periodic Tilings
Authors: Duero Jessa Camille , Klaassen Bernhard , Santos Rovin
Published: January 2024

Spiral tilings, as appealing as they are for their aesthetics, have not been studied well mathematically. One of the difficulties in this area of tiling theory is providing a mathematical definition of spiral tilings. A recently published attempt at providing a formal definition distinguishes a so-called L-spiral tiling (L-tiling) and an S-spiral tiling (S-tiling), with the two types being characterized by special properties of tile set partitions. Based on these existing definitions, we investigate the spiral structure in periodic tilings. Unlike spiral tilings, periodic tilings lend themselves easily to a definition and have been well studied. We first prove that it is not possible for periodic tilings to be S-tilings. We then study a subset of periodic tilings that can be L-tilings. In particular, we demonstrate that there exist examples for each type of isohedral tilings (a subset of periodic monohedral tilings) that are L-spirable.
Homothetic covering of convex hulls of compact convex sets
Authors: Wu Senlin , Zhang Keke , He Chan
Published: January 2024

Let $K$ be a compact convex set and $m$ be a positive integer. The covering functional of $K$ with respect to $m$ is the smallest $\lambda\in[0,1]$ such that $K$ can be covered by $m$ translates of $\lambda K$. Estimations of the covering functionals of convex hulls of two or more compact convex sets are presented. It is proved that, if a three-dimensional convex body $K$ is the convex hull of two compact convex sets having no interior points, then the least number $c(K)$ of smaller homothetic copies of $K$ needed to cover $K$ is not greater than $8$ and $c(K)=8$ if and only if $K$ is a parallelepiped.
Refining overpartitions by properties of non-overlined parts
Authors: Alanazi Abdulaziz , Alenazi Bashair , Keith William , Munagi Augustine
Published: January 2024

We study new classes of overpartitions of numbers based on the properties of non-overlined parts. Several combinatorial identities are established by means of generating functions and bijective proofs. We show that our enumeration function satisfies a pair of infinite Ramanujantype congruences modulo 3. Lastly, by conditioning on the overlined parts of overpartitions,we give a seemingly new identity between the number of overpartitions and a certain class of ordinary partition functions. A bijective proof for this theorem also includes a partial answer to a previous request for a bijection on partitions doubly restricted by divisibility and frequency.
The localization number and metric dimension of graphs of diameter 2
Authors: Bonato Anthony , Huggan Melissa , Marbach Trent
Published: January 2024

We consider the localization number and metric dimension of certain graphs of diameter $2$, focusing on families of Kneser graphs and graphs without 4-cycles. For the Kneser graphs with a diameter of $2$, we find upper and lower bounds for the localization number and metric dimension, and in many cases these parameters differ only by an additive constant. Our results on the metric dimension of Kneser graphs improve on earlier ones, yielding exact values in infinitely many cases. We determine bounds on the localization number and metric dimension of Moore graphs of diameter $2$ and polarity graphs.
On a generalized basic series and Rogers–Ramanujan type identities - II
Authors: Sonik P. , Goyal Megha
Published: January 2024

This paper is in continuation with our recent paper “On a generalized basic series and Rogers-Ramanujan type identities”. Here, we consider two generalized basic series and interpret these basic series as the generating function of some restricted $(n + t)$-color partitions and restricted weighted lattice paths. The basic series discussed in the aforementioned paper, is now a mere particular case of one of the generalized basic series that are discussed in this paper. Besides, eight particular cases are also discussed which give combinatorial interpretations of eight Rogers–Ramanujan type identities which are combinatorially unexplored till date.
Who Wrote This?

This article explores the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on written compositions in education. The study examines participants’ accuracy in distinguishing between texts generated by humans and those produced by generative AI (GenAI). The study challenges the assumption that the listed author of a paper is the one who wrote it, which has implications for formal educational systems. If GenAI text becomes indistinguishable from human-generated text to a human instructor, marker, or grader, it raises concerns about the authenticity of submitted work. This is particularly relevant in post-secondary education, where academic papers are crucial in assessing students’ learning, application, and reflection. The study had 135 participants who were randomly presented with two passages in one session. The passages were on the topic of “How will technology change education?” and were placed into one of three pools based on the source of origin: written by researchers, generated by AI, and searched and copied from the internet. The study found that participants were able to identify human-generated texts with an accuracy rate of 63%. But with an accuracy of only 24% when the composition was AI-generated. However, the study also had limitations, such as limited sample size and an older predecessor of the current GenAI software. Overall, this study highlights the potential impact of AI on education and the need for further research to evaluate comparisons between AI-generated and human-generated text.
Best Practices in Mine Closure: A Case Study of Cultural Ecosystem Services in the Kenyan Mining Sector
Authors: Musando Albert Akondo , Cáceres Freddy
Published: January 2024

Mining operations leave behind quarries with inhospitable conditions, characterized by steep drop-offs, deep water, flooding and poor drainage, and in some cases, abandoned industrial waste. Increasingly, innovations in mine closure and ecological restoration are integratinghuman activities into post-project land uses. Drawing from the Bamburi Haller Park, a former limestone quarry, this study demonstrates that with suitable environmental practices and policy interventions, mine closure can lead to positive projects that spur economic and social benefits. As a policy tool, this paper examines cultural ecosystem services (CES) as part of best practices in mine closure and mine restoration. Visitation data and revenue records were collected covering the period from 2014 to December 2018. Results show that over 566 hectares are now under various land uses with 56.51 per cent of the quarry having been ecologically rehabilitated. The site attracted over 181,000 visitors annually with an average annual revenue of US$330,745 from CES, including ecotourism, recreation and sports and environmental and conservation education. CES can form a strong foundation for promoting ecosystems restoration, biodiversity conservation and sustainable land use activities while showcasing best practices in environmental social governance. The resulting ecosystem is a unique model and showcase for sustainable and responsible mine closure in the extractive industry.
A Research Perspective on Mutual Funds

Published: January 2024

This research explores mutual funds, which are investment pools where many people combine their money to buy a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, or other securities. The study investigates how mutual funds work, their benefits, and potential risks. By understanding these aspects, investors can make informed decisions about participating in mutual funds to achieve their financial goals. This research aims to provide a straightforward overview to help individuals navigate the world of mutual fund investments. However, a long-term investor has to consider other factors associated with such mutual funds (like asset under management, expenses ratio, number of stocks, and experience of the management) to finalise the selection of mutual funds. In this research paper, an attempt has been made to identify the relationship among the performance of selected equity mutual funds and the parameters considered by the investors for selecting the fund. 't-statistic’ has been used to identify such relationship. This research shows that there is no relationship between trailing return of any kinds of Equity mutual funds and the selected parameters by the investors. However, number of stocks and experience of management have a little impact on the rolling return of equity large cap mutual funds and Assets under management has a little impact on rolling return in case of mid-cap mutual fund only.
