Social media toolbox: creating an Instagram guide for Ontario dentists
Authors: Agarwal Ambika
Published: June 2021

[Para. 1 of Introduction] Dentistry is an amalgamation of many roles; they are providers of care, innovators and lifelong guides to a perfect smile. By pursuing a career in dentistry, I hope to wear those many hats and provide compassionate and meaningful patient-centered care. During my high school career, I volunteered at a nursing home. Many of the seniors I worked with had trouble chewing and swallowing, were missing teeth, and had uncomfortable dentures. I realized how oral health could directly impact an individual’s quality of life. Teeth are simply irreplaceable; a lack thereof affects diet and nutrition, leading to deterioration of health. It can cause a loss of self-esteem and confidence. From this experience, I began looking into dentistry. My growing interest persuaded me to shadow my dentist, from whom I gained insight about a dentist’s role and how a practice operates.

Published: June 2021

Trichinellosis is an important food-borne zoonotic disease with public health implications and a worldwide distribution. In this study, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) procedure using species specific ATP6 primers was used to detect the presence of migratory Trichinella spiralis larval mitochondrial ATP6 synthase F0 subunit (ATP6) gene, after detection of antibodies to Trichinella excretory-secretory (E/S) antigen using Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), in blood of humans in Kaduna metropolis, Nigeria. The sera of 210 participants were tested for antibodies to Trichinella E/S antigen. Overall seroprevalence rate of 39% (82/210) was recorded using ELISA. Out of the 9 ELISA samples selected randomly, PCR detected migratory Trichinella spiralis larval ATP6 gene in 4 (44.4%) at the amplicon size of 250 base pairs using the whole blood of the participants.  The 9 samples comprised 7 seropositive and 2 seronegative. The bands at lanes 1, 2, 3 and 4 were positive for ATP6 while lanes 5,6,7,8 and 9 were negative for ATP6.  Lanes 4 and 5 were ELISA negative for anti-Trichinella antibodies. One in 5 of the 128 ELISA negative samples was positive for ATP6 representing a 25.6% prevalence rate by extrapolation.  PCR using ATP6 gene as a genetic marker is valuable for the detection of T. spiralis migratory larvae in blood samples of humans and consequently the early diagnosis of trichinellosis in humans.

Published: June 2021

Antifungal properties of extracts from Euphorbia tirucalli against some wood decay fungi were studied. E. tirucalli fresh sample was harvested, cleansed and chipped into chips of 3 x 2 cm length and breadth. Chipped sample (846.3 g) was macerated in 1000 mL of ethyl acetate, n hexane and methanol solvents, respectively. Column chromatography experiment on E. tirucalli was carried out and antifungal screening was done according to standard method for 7 days to observe zones of inhibition of fungi growth. Broth dilution method was adopted to determine the Minimum Inhibition Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Fungicidal Concentration (MFC) of E. tirucalli extracts and fraction. Results show that Fibroporia vaillantii, Fomitopsis pinicola, Gloeophyllum sepiarium, Rhizopus sp. and Serpula lacrymans were sensitive to ethyl acetate, n’ hexane and methanol E. tirucalli extracts at concentration of 200 mg/mL with zone of inhibition of  18-26 mm and  methanol extract had the highest value of 26 mm. The fraction had zone of inhibition of between 18 and 20 mm which are not significantly different (p<0.05) from 29-35 mm obtained from antibiotics. The MIC of 10 mg/mL and MFC of 20 mg/mL were recorded for extracts against the test fungi while MIC of 50 µg/mL and MFC 200 µg/mL were noted for fraction (Et15), respectively. Fraction (Et15) obtained from E. tirucalli was characterised as tirucallol compound. In conclusion, E. tirucalli extracts and fraction have proved to be effective in the control of wood decay fungi and may serve as control of diseases caused by the test fungi

Published: June 2021

Radon and its short-lived progenies contributed significantly to natural background radiation. Long-term exposure to such radiation increases the probability of lung cancer to persons. To assess the radiological hazards associated with the inhalation of radon gas from ore dust in Mazat and Kafi-Habu mining sites of Plateau, Nigeria, 12 soil samples from an abandoned tailing dump ground were collected and analysed for radon using RAD-7 electronic detector. The dose rate of each sampling point was directly measured using RADOS RDS -120 portable survey meter. The results gave a mean radon concentration ranging from 771.51 ± 21.9 Bq/m3 to 5666.13 ± 28.8 Bq/m3 with 3451.13 ± 42.9 Bq/m3as the average value for all measurements. The average concentration of measurements from Mazat and Kafi-Habu is 3671.6 ± 41.2 Bq/m3 and 3010.16 ± 46.5 Bq/m3 respectively. The average values obtained from the analysis are significantly higher than the upper limit of 300 Bq/m3 set by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) suggesting quick remediation on the host communities. The geometrical mean value of Dose Rate (DR) and Annual Effective Dose Equivalent (AEDE) were 870 nGy/hr and 1.04 mSv/yr respectively. Again, these values are above the global average limits of 59 nGy/hr and 1 mSv/yr. The result indicates that miners working in those sites and dwellers of the study areas are at higher risk of getting exposed to radon and need to employ protective measures. This work is useful in monitoring and control of radon level for the on-site workers and the

Published: June 2021

In this research the lineaments of the Kafanchan area in North-central Nigeria were investigated in order to explore the mineralization zones of the area. Aeromagnetic data over Kafanchan and environs within the Younger Granite Province, in the North-Central Nigeria were collated and analyzed. The aeromagnetic map of the area was interpreted both qualitatively and quantitatively so as to identify the nature of the magnetic sources and the trends direction in the study area. The trend of the Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI) map is predominantly in NE-SW. The First Vertical Derivative (FVD) Lineaments Map was also correlated with LADSAT lineaments map and both maps agreed in most areas. The study area is characterized by predominant magnetic lineament trend in NE-SW direction and subordinate E-W direction. The result also shows that the most significant structural trends affecting the distribution of these magnetic anomalies in the study area is in NE-SW direction. The TMI map indicates that there are three major mineralization zones in the study area. The high magnetization contrast in the NE and SE parts of the study area correlates with the migmatite-gneiss, biotite-granites, granites and basalts which are associated with high magnetic contrasts. Also, the high magnetization contrast in the NW part of the area correlates with basalt and the biotite-granite. However, the predominant low magnetization contrast observed in the western half does not correlate with the basic igneous rock

Authors: Zharovska I.
Published: June 2021

Purpose. Analysis of the latest form of discrimination against a person - according to genetic information, to find out the features of the legal regulation of anti-discrimination in foreign law in relations with insurance companies and employers. Method. The methodology includes a synergetic approach, which indicates the novelty and uncertainty of the latest legal phenomena that have emerged with the development of genetics and biomedicine. The following methods of scientific cognition were used during the research: terminological, comparison, normative-legal, historical. Results. Ukraine needs to update its legal regulations in the field of anti-discrimination. The development of genetics and medicine has opened up the possibility of obtaining a wide range of genetic information. The law should regulate the scope of possible use of information and be based on the principle of voluntary consent to receive it and the individual right to disclose information. Genetic information can be used by employers to give a prerogative to certain categories of workers and insurance companies to obtain a higher level of financial benefit by infringing on people with genetic defects. To combat this type of discrimination, it is proposed to implement the positive experience of the United States in creating specialized legislation. Scientific novelty. In the course of the research it was established that the development of legal policy in the field of combating and preventing discrimination on the basis of genetic information should consist in a comprehensive legal regulation of the issue from the standpoint of medical, civil, family and labor relations. Practical significance. The results of the study can be used in lawmaking as a proposal to supplement anti-discrimination legislation and medical law.
Extension of Winding Function Theory for Modeling and Diagnosis of Partial Demagnetization Fault in PMSM Drive
Authors: Gherabi Zakaria , Benouzza Noureddine , Bendiabdellah Azeddine , Toumi Djilali
Published: June 2021

This paper proposes the development of a new mathematical model dedicated to the diagnostic of the partial Demagnetization Fault (DF) in Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM). To do this, an extension of the Modified Winding Function Approach (MWFA) is proposed to accurately take into account the air gap asymmetry caused by the Demagnetization Fault (DF) in the PMSM inductances calculation. The calculated inductances are then used in the magnetically coupled electrical circuit model to simulate the PMSM behavior in the different operating modes. Finally, a diagnostic method based on the stator current spectral analysis is used to highlight the PMSM stator current spectral content in the various operating modes (with and without Demagnetization Fault).

У статті проаналізовано й систематизовано основні теоретичні положення соціально-психологічних особливостей виникнення і функціонування референтних груп. Особливу увагу приділено основним мотиваційним компонентам, що лежать в основі пріоритетних виборів реальних і нереальних соціальних референтних груп у підлітковому віці. Визначено основні методики дослідження особливостей референтних груп в учнів підліткового віку. У статті робиться акцент на емпіричній складовій дослідження мотивів вибору участі підлітків у референтних групах, визначено шкалу соціальної бажаності учнів серед однолітків. Важливою складовою статті є визначення основних детермінант вступу підлітків до асоціальних референтних груп. Встановлено, що 44% досліджуваних підлітків перебувають у складі асоціальних груп. У статті робиться акцент на тому, що референтна група безперервно впливає на особистість, допомагає з ціннісним спрямуванням, визначенням життєвих цілей і шляхів їх досягнення. Підліток може почати гарно вчитись, шукати нові захоплення, планувати успішне майбутнє завдяки тому, що обрав групу, члени якої мають такі цілі, або вже досягли їх. Разом з тим, референтна група може впливати і негативно: підліток може втратити інтерес до навчання, намагаючись відповідати ціннісним стандартам тієї групи, яку вважатиме для себе соціально важливою. Визначено, що важливим напрямом роботи практичного психолога закладу освіти є психопрофілактика вступу підлітків до асоціальних груп.

Authors: Міненко Ольга
Published: June 2021

В статті розглянуто актуальну проблему особливостей формування особистості в умовах цифровізації суспільства. Виділено ряд характеристик цифрового суспільства, зокрема глобалізація, транзитивність та віртуальність, та проаналізовано вплив даних характеристик на розвиток і становлення особистості, формування її ідентичності, формування образу світу, процес соціалізації. Доведено, що сучасні цифрові інформаційні технології чинять ряд негативних впливів на психіку особистості та процес її соціалізації. Серед основних негативних впливів виділено кіборгізацію, інвалідизацію, порушення кордонів і приватності, зміна способів пізнання, зміна структури потреб, зміна структури діяльності, трансформація копінг-стратегій, деформація хронотопу, дифузія ідентичності, залежність від технічних засобів та інтернету. Відповідно, такий вплив тягне за собою зміну образу життя людини, а отже – і образу світу, що тягне за собою, безумовно, зміну особистості людини, трансформацію її ідентичності.
Особливу увагу в роботі приділено розвитку і формуванню в умовах цифровізації суспільства особистості дітей і підлітків, оскільки саме ці вікові категорії є найбільш чутливими до даного процесу. Зазначено, що під впливом цифрових технологій сформувалось нове покоління дітей і молоді – «цифрове покоління», «покоління Z». Виділено та проаналізовано певні особливості психіки та особистості «цифрового покоління». Виділено певні наслідки перебування дітей і підлітків в віртуальному просторі та їх вплив на психіку підростаючого покоління.
Представлено результати емпіричного дослідження особливостей взаємодії дітей дошкільного віку з цифровими технологіями. В результаті проведеного емпіричного дослідження можна зробити висновок про широке розповсюдження серед дітей дошкільного віку користування цифровими пристроями у сучасному українському суспільстві, при цьому вік початку користування ними припадає на період від 1 до 3 років. Дане явище визначено як негативне, оскільки порушує нормативний психічний розвиток дітей данного віку.

Published: June 2021

У статті проведено аналіз наукової літератури з проблеми вивчення емпатії. Надано визначення поняттю «емпатія». Розглянуто структурні компоненти емпатії. Представлено результати емпіричного дослідження розвитку емпатії студентів-психологів як складової майбутньої професійної діяльності. Графічно відображено результати дослідження за методиками психологічної діагностики емпатії. Показано, що в процесі опанування психологічними знаннями, вміннями та навичками здобувачі вищої освіти набувають досвід щодо майбутньої професійної діяльності. Дані нашого дослідження розвитку емпатії як складової майбутньої професійної діяльності свідчать про зв’язок між формуванням емпатійності і навчанням у закладі вищої освіти, а також саморозкриттям, саморозвитком. Протягом навчання здобувачі беруть участь в наукових семінарах, конференціях, соціально-психологічних тренінгах, виховних заходах, де оволодівають навичками ефективної комунікації, вчаться відчувати інших людей, будувати взаємодію, розрізняти якості та стани власного «Я», розвивають здібності щодо ефективної професійної діяльності, зокрема, емпатію. Високоемпатійні студенти свої невдачі в навчанні, міжособистісній взаємодії схильні пояснювати внутрішніми причинами, тоді як студенти з низькими показниками емпатії дають їм екстернальну оцінку. Емпатія є суттєвим психологічним елементом цілісної, системної навчальної діяльності. Збагачена відповідними інструментальними можливостями, емпатійна взаємодія у навчальному процесі дозволяє викладачеві створювати оптимальні психологічні умови для розвитку здобувача як унікального суб'єкта навчальної діяльності та поведінки. Емпатію можливо формувати та розвивати у процесі професійного навчання здобувачів при проходженні виробничих практик, за спеціально розробленими програмами, що передбачають опанування відповідною технологією взаємодії як в повсякденному житті так і в професійній діяльності. Емпатія як психічне особистісне утворення, досягнувши своєї вираженості саме у період студентства, є надалі стимулятором до самореалізації та саморозкриття, побудови професійної, моральної поведінки, необхідної при взаємодії в професійній діяльності в системі «людина-людина».

Student misbehaviors in the classroom both disrupt students’ attention and affect negatively teaching and learning process. With the increase of online courses after Covid-19 pandemic, the type of student misbehaviors changed a lot. The aim of research was to examine student misbehaviors encountered during online courses, to identify the most common and disruptive student misbehaviors from teachers' perspective and to put forth teachers’ suggestions about proper behaviors. The research was a phenomenological study. Data were gathered from 71 teachers teaching different courses and working at various levels. For data collection, a semi-structured interview form developed by the researchers was used. It was assessed through descriptive analysis. According to findings, a list containing 27 different student misbehaviors was generated. Results showed that the most common misbehaviors were indifference to course, not attending course, turning off webcam and slanging. The most disruptive misbehaviors were making noise, absenteeism, and distractibility. Findings revealed that teachers had some ideas to overcome these misbehaviors such as taking attendance, getting family support, encouraging students to turn on webcam, creating intrinsic motivation and organizing parent meetings. It can be concluded that some unwanted student behaviors can be seen during online courses; however, it can be overcome with the help of some precautions taken by teachers.

Agricultural and economic systems in the conditions оf enhancing exogenic and endogenous turbulence
Authors: Krusanov D. , Varchenko O.M.
Published: June 2021

The common problems and patterns of development of nature, economy, society, which are in a state of order, disorder, crisis, catastrophe or chaos have become the basis for the conclusion about the unity of their basis. The positions of foreign and Ukrainian scientists on the development of macroeconomic systems in conditions of chaos and order are systematized and their main provisions for the analysis of the development of agro-economic systems in conditions of increasing endogenous and exogenous turbulence are transferred. The expediency of using the turbulent approach method for the analysis of functioning of complex structures is confirmed and the attribution to this type of agro-economic systems, which unite three different environments and their subsystems: natural-biological, production-realization, financial-banking, is substantiated. The types of turbulence are systematized and the risks and losses are revealed, the potential negative consequences of which are amplified with each subsequent stage: from the selection of genetic resources to the disposal of waste production and consumption of food and non-compliance with technological and other requirements. Peculiarities of turbulence occurrence and its potential consequences for different states of basic processes of agrarian-economic systems are analyzed: genetic-resource, soil-adaptive, production-raw materials, processing-product, logistic-realization, financial-economic. The role of the eastern neighbor in restricting the import of agricultural products of Ukraine and accelerating the harmonization of the national system of technical regulation with the basic model of technical regulation of the EU is highlighted. The peculiarities of modern approaches to the preparation and implementation of various scenarios for limiting the impact of the negative effects of turbulence and compensation for losses from it to the actors of agri-food chains are revealed. Proposals for the introduction of creative approaches in the training of managers and their independent development of various scenarios for the emergence and intensification of turbulent chaos have been developed.
Key words: order, bifurcations, fluctuations, exogenous and endogenous turbulence, agri-food chains, development scenarios in the event of chaos.

Intensification of production as a factor of increase indicators of livestock efficiency
Authors: Shiyan N.
Published: June 2021

The article analyzes influence of the livestock industry’s intensification level on the indicators of its efficiency. The following methods were used in the research: a monographic, analytical, grouping method, graphic method. The statistical base of the research included statistical data on the development of cattle breeding, presented by the State Statistics Service of Ukraine and business entities of Kharkiv region. Using the method of regional economic entities’ grouping, based on costs per head of livestock,it has been proved that there is an increase in the efficiency indicators of dairy cattle breeding with their growth in accordance with the law of diminishing returns. In beef cattle breeding, with the existing actual cost per 1 head of cattle and its increase in the farms of Kharkiv region in 2019, there is a decrease in efficiency indicators.
We have substantiated the limiting value of costs per cow. After reaching it, there is a decrease in the efficiency indicators of dairy cattle breeding. In 2019, the maximum cost was a value equal to UAH 43.000. The obtained theoretical conclusions are of practical importance for farm managers from the point of view of decision-making on determining the rational value of costs in cattle breeding per cow. Higher intensity of dairy cattle breeding appears to be accompanied by an increase in the livestock population per enterprise, as well as an increase in the average annual milk yield of cows and density of cows per 100 hectares of agricultural land. The operation of the law of diminishing returns in the field of dairy cattle breeding has been substantiated. According to this, an increase in costs per cow leads to an increase in certain indicators of the industry's efficiency to a certain level, after which they decrease. This conclusion is confirmed by dependences between the costs per cow and the average annual milk yield per 1 cow, cost recovery from milk sales, profit (loss) per 1 centner of milk.
Key words: intensification, livestock industry, costs, efficiency, the law of diminishing returns.

Published: June 2021

Yellowfin tuna Thunnus albacares is a highly exploited species in the Indian Ocean. Yet, its stock structure is still not well understood, hindering assessment of the stock at a suitable spatial scale for management. Here, young-of-the-year (<4 mo) yellowfin tuna otoliths were collected in 2018 and 2019, from 4 major nursery areas in the Indian Ocean: Madagascar, Seychelles-Somalia, Maldives and Sumatra. First, direct age estimates were made in a subset of otoliths by visually counting microincrements to identify the portion of the otolith corresponding to the larval stage. We then developed 2-dimensional maps of trace element concentrations to examine spatial distribution of elements across otolith transverse sections. Different distribution patterns were observed among the elements analysed; Li, Sr and Ba were enriched in the portion of the otolith representing early life, whereas Mn and Mg concentrations were heterogeneous across growth bands. Last, we analysed inter-annual and regional variation in otolith chemical composition using both trace elements (Li, Mg, Sr, Ba and Mn) and stable isotopes (δ13C and δ18O). Significant regional variation in otolith chemical signatures was detected among nurseries, except between Madagascar and Seychelles-Somalia. Otolith δ13C and δ18O were important drivers of differentiation between western (Madagascar and Seychelles-Somalia), Maldives and Sumatra nurseries, whereas the elemental signatures were cohort specific. Overall nursery assignment accuracies were 69-71%. The present study demonstrates that baseline chemical signatures in the otoliths of yellowfin tuna are regionally distinct and can be used as a natural tag to investigate the nursery origin of older individuals in the Indian Ocean.

trial and error without applying professional engineering
design of the process. In this study focus was applied on
analyzing and modeling the compression zone, which is
considered to be the most important and complicated zone
in the screw. An equation was derived so to determine the
length of the compression zone that is suitable to produce
polypropylene fibers
THE FOUR CASE STUDIES ON THE EFFECTS OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY ON WATER POLLUTION: DO CONFLICTS AFFECT A COMPANY’S CSR POLICY?
Authors: Sattarkhanova Ainura
Published: June 2021

As the world pays more attention to
environmental sustainability, organizations need to pay
more attention to solving the global water crisis and
minimizing its impact on themselves and the planet.
Businesses today have a huge impact on the environment
and make excessive use of available natural resources and
emit harmful pollutants. In order to obtain specific
information about the company's water resources strategy
and practices, an exploratory analysis was carried out on
five multinational companies. This article presents four
case studies of the Corporate Social Responsibility
Guidelines from Coca-Cola, Mondel?z International,
Nestlé and PepsiCo. These multinational companies are
involved in environmental conflicts. The main focus of this
article is to examine the role of business today in
freshwater. In summary, four case studies from CocaCola, Mondel?z International, Nestlé and PepsiCo show
that multinational corporations changed their corporate
social responsibility and reporting policies after the
conflict. These companies resolve these conflicts publicly through the media or in their annual or sustainability
reports, thereby making these conflicts transparent.

Published: June 2021

Aluminium-silicon alloys possess high mechanical
strength to density ratio which makes it suitable for wide
engineering applications. Fluidity affects the properties of
the alloys. Silicon increases the fluidity of Al-Si alloys. The
refinement of silicon alloys improves the mechanical
property of the alloys. This study investigated the fluidity of
nineteen Al-Si alloys made with silicon of 99.999% purity and
aluminum of 99.999% purity. A straight channels mold was
utilized in determining the fluidity. The casting modulus of
the channels varied between 0.2 mm and 2.9 mm. Using the
same quality of materials, a primary silicon refiner Al-Cu-P
was added to the alloys. The result was an unexpected 40%
increase in fluidity for the Al-8%Si alloy. A decrease in
fluidity from 35% to 10% was observed in the fluidity of the
hyper-eutectic alloys.

Authors: Oginni Felix Adeniran , Timileyin Dada Theophilus
Published: June 2021

- Geosynthetics are polymer materials
used to enhance, improve or stabilize earth terrains.
This study presents the properties and the various
applications of the now available synthetic products for
earth stabilization purposes. Data of Clients that are
involved in the geosynthetic technology are collected
and analyzed according to their Country and
percentage distribution of Clients per Continent.
Comparative study of the involvement levels in the use
of the geosynthetic technology economy by the various
continents was undertaken. In all, 181 Clients globally
were analysed. Appropriateness of Nigeria’s
involvement was then highlighted. Results indicated
that North America, Europe and Asia, Continents with
76.98% world’s population accounted for 88% of the
181 Clients global involvement in the usage of
Geosynthetics technology economy. Africa, Australia
and South America with 23.02% world’s population
accounted for only 12% of geosynthetic technology
usage. Africa’s share of the 12% was 7%, followed by
Australia with 4%, while South America had only 1%
involvement level. This shows that Africa's exposure
level to Geosynthetics technology of 7% only is grossly
non commensurable with the Continents population.
Nigeria’s share of 5 out of 181 global Geosynthetics
Clients indicates only 2.76%. This is not adequately
enough, when further considering the additional
negative impact of her population on her low
comparative GDP. This implies that Nigeria needs to
rise up to tap opportunities that abound in this context
to improve her infrastructure. The Geosynthetic
Industry should also begin to eye Nigeria as a
prospective Client for greater infrastructure
development business, which will further solve some economic issues.
EDUCATION LEVEL AND ADOPTION OF PROCESS INNOVATION IN THE DAIRY SECTOR OF ZIMBABWE
Authors: Manjera Alpha Marlvin , Manjera Alpha Marlvin
Published: June 2021

This paper, seek to assess factors that are
hindering diffusion of process innovation under the
Zimbabwean dairy industry. The paper utilized 400 smallmedium scale dairy farmers in Zimbabwe who are
registered under Zimbabwe Association of Dairy Farmers
(ZADF). The rationale behind the research issue is that
Zimbabwean dairy sector has failed to adopt process
innovations such as e-marketing and e-extension. The paper
adopted a binomial logistic regression model and majority
of the dairy farmers in Zimbabwe have not acquired any
form of education and based on such evidence, level of
education has affected the level of adoption of process
innovations such as e-marketing and e-extension. The
research recommends the dairy sector to introduce nonformal courses and trainings on change management and
innovations prior to introduction of new process
innovations.

technology which offers effective and reliable solutions for
multi-domain modernization. In order to automatically
manage and track agricultural farms with minimal human
intervention, IoT-based solutions are being created. There
are several aspects of innovations involved in the field of
IoT in agriculture in the review paper. It describes the key
components of precision farming based on IoT. A detailed
discussion on network technologies used in IoT-based
agriculture, including network architecture and layers,
network topologies and protocols, was presented. In
addition, the relation of agricultural systems based on IoT
with related technologies like cloud computing, storage of
big data and analytics was also presented. Furthermore,
protection concerns have been illustrated in IoT
agriculture. A list of applications based on smart phones
and sensors built for various aspects of farm management
has also been presented. In addition, the introduction of
precise agriculture, which is an alternative to future
agriculture, allows for the prediction of supply and
demand by means of convergence technology; real-time
monitoring and quality maintenance over the life cycle of
agricultural products. To increase the productivity of their
day-to-day jobs, farmers have already begun to employ
some high-tech farming techniques and technologies.
Sensors installed in fields, for instance, allow farmers to
obtain detailed maps of both the area's topography and
resources, as well as variables such as soil acidity and
temperature.
To predict weather conditions in the coming days and
weeks, they can also access climate forecasts. Farmers can
remotely track their equipment, crops, and livestock using
their smart phones, as well as collect stats on their feeding
and producing livestock. They can also use this technology
for their crops and livestock to run statistical predictions.
And drones have become an invaluable instrument for
farmers to sur

"We could definitely make a flying car - but
that's not the hard part. The hard part is, how do you
make a flying car that is super safe and quiet?” - ELON
MUSK
While safety, reliability, fuel economy, and low
running costs put them at the top of the list of what people
consider to be the 'most important' in a car, more than a
third (36%) of those tested online rank with the latest
driving skills in the same fields. Driving technology
includes steering or parking assist, adaptive cruise control,
and wireless entry or ignition. More than a quarter (28%)
of people online also account for having the latest
passenger technology, which includes audio or video
streaming and social networking, as 'most important' to
them. Our team has developed a vehicle archetype which is
incorporated of Azimuth Angle, trimming off the turning
radius and anti-collision mitigation system like concepts
with a single touch button. The underlying concept of the
smart car is to free the driver from many of the mundane
tasks associated with driving, making the act of driving
more pleasant.
