Working Towards Collaborations in the Teaching and Development of African Languages for Harnessing Indigenous Knowledge
Authors: Mohochi Ernest Sangai
Published: April 2022

While the importance of taking deliberate steps aimed at ensuring improved living standards is widely appreciated, less attention is given to the question of the numbers enjoying the upgraded standards. Consequently, in many developing nations, the majority of citizens live in abject poverty. Indeed, the divide between the developed and developing countries is best expressed in the quality of life that obtains in these two sets of countries. Further, success in engaging the masses and involving them in striving for development calls for an understanding of the local environment. It is in this context that indigenous knowledge becomes critical and issues of indigenous languages assume centrality. In order for African languages to play their rightful role in the continent’s development, they must be empowered. This, therefore, calls for concerted efforts in the development of African languages. This paper explores the role of collaborations both regionally and internationally in the teaching, research and development of African languages. Using Swahili as an example, it discusses how well-crafted collaborations between universities and other relevant stakeholders can contribute in the teaching and development of African languages to enable their continued use in harnessing indigenous knowledge for development. It concludes that there are several opportunities for innovation in developing collaborations that in turn have the capacity to develop African languages for driving the development agenda in Africa.

This paper reports experimental performance of a new modular configuration of roof integrating skylight and solar chimney intended to reduce heat gain admission, induce ventilation and ensure sufficient indoor illuminance. This integrated Skylight Solar Chimney (SSC) configuration is composed of three layers: a 1mm thick clear acrylic layer on the outside, a set of 1 mm thick aluminum slats distanced each other at the middle and a layer with a combination of clear acrylic and aluminum slats at the inner side. To assess SSC performances, two small rooms of 2.52 m3 volume were built using concrete blocks for walls and corrugated cement panels for the south facing roof slopped at 30 degrees. The roof of the first house, which served as a reference, integrated a transparent corrugated panel whereas the other house integrated our SSC. The dimensions of the SSC are 0.50 m x 1.50 m x 0.15 m (W x L x H). A 0.025 m2 outlet opening was located at the top lateral side whereas two inlet openings of similar surface area were installed on the bottom lower layer (one inside the room and another outside). Field test results showed that in all scenarios considered the indoor temperature of room with SSC was 1 to 4 °C lower that of the reference room and varied following ambient conditions. When both inside and outside inlet openings were used, the highest temperature difference was observed. The measured heat flux through the roof of reference house was much more important than all SSC scenarios, a 50% difference was observed when both SSC inlets were open. This clearly demonstrated SSC efficiency to reduce heat gain. The air change (ACH) induced varied between 2 to 29. SCC indoor illuminance was about 50% lower than that of the reference house.

This paper investigates the feasibility of electrical power generation using differently orientated photovoltaic (PV) modules attached to vertical surfaces. The global horizontal irradiance (GHI) has been measured to verify the commonly used corresponding mathematical models. However, the solar irradiances on vertical surfaces are calculated concerning directional orientation using recently validated mathematical models of similar climates. A selected case representing the predominant construction style for houses in Kuwait was used to examine the PV configuration proposed on the house's façade at different promising orientations, east, west, and south. The total generated electrical power from the three promising façades (100 MW) is almost twice the roof's amount (57 MW). A detailed economic evaluation using lifecycle cost analysis (LCC) was conducted through a 25 years plan. It includes a suggested investment plan for the annual cash resulted from avoided conventional electrical power. Promisingly, the economic analysis proved that the vertical façades east, west, and south are feasible at payback years of around 8, 8, and 15, respectively; while the rooftop PV has the best economic feasibility by a payback period of 5 years. The outcome encourages policymakers to incentivize the vertical surfaces to harvest solar energy, particularly with the expectation of a further decline in PV prices.

Amplitude and rate saturations are one of the problems of flight control systems which puts the closed-loop system stability at risk. These nonlinear elements are mainly responsible for the type II pilot induces oscillations (PIOs). In this paper, a robust unconstrained generalized predictive controller (GPC) with a self-tuning regulator (STR) structure is designed in the frequency domain to prevent the type II PIOs. Furthermore, the sensitivity function is used for tuning the GPC parameters and investigating the stability and robustness of the system against the uncertainties of the controller parameters. To get better results, a constrained GPC is further designed considering the rate, amplitude, and both saturations. Rate and amplitude saturations are considered as input constraints in the design stage. Finally, the performances of the proposed controllers are compared to that of a PID controller.

Criteria of cumulative temperatures for the calculation of optimal sowing periods for winter grain crops (wheat, triticale, rye) were specified on the basis of monitoring data from the hydrometeorological observation network, results of tilling capacity studies, and literary sources. The optimal sowing periods and average air temperature for these periods were determined, which provide the highest correlation between the beginning and end of the sowing periods for winter crops. The equations of the relationship between the dates of the beginning and end of winter grain crop sowing at the observation stations are derived depending on average air temperature. Optimal periods for sowing winter grain crops were determined for the period from 2000 to 2020. A distribution of cumulative active temperatures (zoning) on the territory of Belarus for the autumn period was obtained. Аn algorithm for specifying optimal sowing periods for winter grain crops in a particular year оn the basis of forecasted temperature for September was developed.

The transportation sector is by far the largest oil consumer making it a prime contributor to air pollution. EVs (Electric vehicles) will be beneficial to the environment and will help to alleviate the energy crisis due to their low dependence on oil and negligible emissions. Technology innovation in EVs is of significant interest to researchers, companies, and policy-makers in many countries. EVs integrate various kinds of distinct technologies where some of the important factors in considerations related to EVs are: a wide range of electrical drive configurations; advanced electronics that enable automotive innovations; meeting the challenges of automotive electronics; electrifying transportation in the future. This paper reviews the recent progress in EV technology, which consists of various motor drives applied in EV propulsion, classification of EVs such as BEV, PHEV, HEV, FCEV, and types of energy storage system with chargers, and software simulating devices. This paper also highlights the EV market with various challenges. The main findings of this research are: (1) Battery technology is the EV's bottleneck. Lithium-ion batteries for vehicles have high capacity and large serial-parallel numbers, which, coupled with problems such as safety, durability, uniformity, and cost, impose limitations on the wide application. (2) Incentives and encouragement for EV owners should be tailored to their specific needs in order to improve their socioeconomic standing. (3) Hyundai, MG Motors, Tesla, and Tata Motors appear to be the key players in India's critical subdomains of the EV market. (4) EV simulation software is necessary for vehicle design and development before the mass production of EVs. (5) PMSM has the potential to provide a high torque-to-current ratio, a high power-to-weight ratio, high efficiency, and robustness. Currently, the BLDC (Trapezoidal SPMSM) motors are the most preferred motors for electric vehicle applications due to their traction characteristics.

In construction, the real-time monitoring of the worker is necessary for ensuring safety in terms of health and accidents. The technology advancement in the sensors and wireless communication technology has inspired to implement Internet of Things (IoT) real-time monitoring in construction site. With this motivation, in this study we have proposed a system that is powered with long range (LoRa) and IEEE 802.15.4 based Zigbee communication for real-time implementation. Worker health monitoring mote, helmet detection mote, shoe detection mote, and glove detection mote are the primary components of the proposed system. In addition to this, a local server is embedded to supervise all the primary components and interconnect with gateway to log the real-time data on the cloud server for real-time implementation. As proof of concept, one of primary component i.e., health monitoring mote is implemented in the construction site to measure temperature and pulse rate of the work. In future, the remain components will be implemented in construction site, for the implementation of complete system in real-time. The current study enables to monitor the worker in the construction site and assist to respond immediately in case of emergency.

Published: April 2022

Promotion is one of the important variables for companies in increasing sales, marketing and attracting public interest. PT Bank Lampung as a banking company also carries out promotional activities in marketing its products, namely productive credit. However, in reality, the promotion of productive credit has not been optimal. This can be seen from the unstable growth in the number of customers in productive credit financing, even stagnation and a decrease in the number of new customers. The purpose of this study was to determine whether promotion had an effect on increasing the number of productive credit customers at PT Bank Lampung (Main Branch Office). This research used associative quantitative research methods, with data collection techniques using a questionnaire as the primary method, and documentation as research support. The data analysis technique used a simple linear regression test. The results showed; There was a positive and significant influence of the promotional variable (X) on the customer variable (Y), the t-count was 5.265, and the t-table was 2.028, which meant the t-count > t-table, or t-count 5.265 > 2.028. Based on the t-test value, it can be concluded that the proposed hypothesis regarding the effect of promotion on the increase in the number of customers at PT Bank Lampung is acceptable.
