This has an impact on the use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides, which can cause environmental damage and ultimately reduce agricultural productivity. Processing cow dung into organic fertiliser for crops is an applied technology in the framework of implementing zero waste farming technology. One of the benefits that can be obtained is increased income by reducing the cost of artificial fertiliser needs. Cow faeces as cattle farming waste has not been optimally utilised. Cow faeces are usually piled up by farmers behind or near the cowshed, causing a strong smell (air pollution). The results of the activity of making cow feces bokashi organic fertiliser are very beneficial for farmers as a substitute for inorganic fertiliser; The creation of clean cowshed conditions, and environmentally friendly rice fields.
Theoretical Analysis of Adam Optimizer in the Presence of Gradient Skewness
Authors: Yang Luyi
Published: October 2024

The Adam optimizer has become a cornerstone in deep learning, widely adopted for its adaptive learning rates and momentumbased updates. However, its behavior under non-standard conditions, particularly skewed gradient distributions, remains underexplored. This paper presents a novel theoretical analysis of the Adam optimizer in the presence of skewed gradients, a scenario frequently encountered in real-world applications due to imbalanced datasets or inherent problem characteristics. We extend the standard convergence analysis of Adam to explicitly account for gradient skewness, deriving new bounds that characterize the optimizer’s performance under these conditions. Our main contributions include: (1) a formal proof of Adam’s convergence under skewed gradient distributions, (2) quantitative error bounds that capture the impact of skewness on optimization outcomes, and (3) insights into how skewness affects Adam’s adaptive learning rate mechanism. We demonstrate that gradient skewness can lead to biased parameter updates and potentially slower convergence compared to scenarios with symmetric distributions. Additionally, we provide practical recommendations for mitigating these effects, including adaptive gradient clipping and distribution-aware hyperparameter tuning. Our findings bridge a critical gap between Adam’s empirical success and its theoretical underpinnings, offering valuable insights for practitioners dealing with non-standard optimization landscapes in deep learning.

Published: October 2024

With the increasing fuel prices across the globe, Filipino farmers, who are depending on diesel-powered tractors for land plowing, suffer. Moreover, diesel-powered tractors contribute to global warming. On the other hand, carabaos, which are considered farmers’ companions in the Philippines, have some disadvantages including the high initial cost of owning as well as the struggles the farmers experience when their carabaos are not in good condition, especially in harsh environments caused by global warming. This study aimed to design a small-scale hand-tractor that can serve as a cheaper and cleaner alternative to diesel-powered tractors and of using carabaos. A 1.2kW Brushless DC motor was utilized in the tractor design which can be charged by residential electricity as well as a renewable system through solar power energy. The design was modeled and simulated through SolidWorks. Stress simulation results showed that the major mechanical components of the design, with its corresponding materials, withstand the external loads that it encounters. The results showed that the design slightly outperformed a carabao in terms of both the time required to plow one hectare of land which is 14.7% faster and overall cost after 10-hectare plowing operations which is 17.8% cheaper. Results also showed that a 20hp diesel-powered commercial tractor is 3.31 times faster than the electric tractor in terms of plowing rate but 121.4% more expensive in terms of operation cost per hectare. Moreover, the optional solar panel in the design extends the operation time by a maximum of 8.75% or 2.94 minutes per battery cycle. Fabrication and actual performance tests of the design were recommended by the authors to further supplement the results of this study.
Capital adequacy and financial stability: A study of Nigerian banks' resilience in a volatile economy
Authors: Akinbola Olawale
Published: October 2024

This study investigated the relationship between capital adequacy and financial stability in Nigerian banks within a volatile economic environment. The research stemmed from the challenges of inadequate bank deposits, largely due to Nigeria’s large unbanked population and limited access to formal financial services. This situation undermined banks' ability to accumulate capital and lend effectively, hampering economic growth. The study aimed to evaluate how capital adequacy ratio (CAR) influences the financial stability of banks, with a focus on the impact of monetary policy and capital regulation. Using an ex-post facto research design, secondary data from 2005 to 2020 were collected from NDIC reports, CBN bulletins, and financial journals. The Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method was employed to analyze variables such as return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), non-performing loans (NPL), firm size, CAR, and loans and advances (LA). Findings revealed that CAR and firm size positively influenced bank stability, while NPL and LA negatively impacted it. Monetary policy and capital regulation played significant roles in determining financial stability. The study concluded that improving capital adequacy and firm size enhances bank resilience, while tighter regulation of non-performing loans and effective monetary policies could mitigate financial instability. Recommendations include strengthening risk management frameworks, aligning with Basel III standards, and improving credit monitoring. This study contributes to existing knowledge by identifying new determinants affecting capital adequacy and financial stability, with suggestions for further research on regulatory reforms and their long-term effects on bank profitability.
