Authors: Paneru Biplov , Paneru Bishwash , Poudyal Ramhari , Shah Krishna Bikram , Poudyal Khem Narayan , Poudel Yam Krishna
Published: March 2024

This paper provides a novel way for automating ribbon-cutting rituals that use a specifically constructed robot with superior computer vision capabilities. The system achieves an outstanding 92% accuracy rate when assessing picture data by using a servo motor for ribbon identification, a motor driver for robot movement control, and nichrome wire for precision cutting. The robot's ability to recognize and interact with the ribbon is greatly improved when it uses a Keras and TensorFlow-based red ribbon identification model which obtained accuracy of about 93% on testing set before deployment in system. Implemented within a Raspberry Pi robot, the method exhibits amazing success in automating ceremonial activities, removing the need for human intervention. This multidisciplinary method assures the precision and speed of ribbon-cutting events, representing a significant step forward in the merging of tradition and technology via the seamless integration of robots and computer vision.

Authors: Shettima Mustapha , Abdussalam Yusuf , Olayinka Aminu Abdulrahim
Published: March 2024

Purpose: This study investigates the influence of various macroeconomic factors, including the exchange rate, interest rate, inflation rate, and Gross Domestic Product, on the performance of the Nigerian Stock Exchange NSE 100 index. Utilizing a decade of annual data spanning from 2011 to 2021, this research employs the Augmented Dickey-Fuller test to explore the impact of these macroeconomic variables on stock market performance.
Research methodology: Within this context, the time series Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model is employed to discern the ramifications of naira/US dollar exchange rate volatility on Nigeria’s stock market performance.
Results: Multiple regression analysis results indicate a significant negative effect of the exchange rate on share returns, revealing that a 10% increase in the real exchange rate correlates with a 0.15% decrease in the ASPI. Similarly, the inflation rate is associated with a negative coefficient, suggesting an adverse effect on stock prices. In contrast, interest rates and GDP exhibit positive coefficients, with 5% and 10% impacts on the ASPI, respectively.
Limitation: All data used in this study were secondary. However, data from previous years were not readily available. This is the main limitation of this study.
Contribution: Ultimately, this study underscores the importance of forecasting the exchange rate as a pivotal determinant of business success, offering recommendations for future endeavors.

Published: March 2024

Purpose: This study investigated the influence of transformational leadership and the school environment on the organizational commitment of teachers.
Research methodology: A quantitative nonexperimental research design with multiple regression analysis was employed. Using the Raosoft calculator, 115 of the 162 public secondary teachers in Davao City were selected as respondents who rated the three adopted questionnaires.
Results: The findings revealed a high level of transformational leadership, school environment, and teachers’ organizational commitment. In terms of significant relationships, both transformational leadership and the school environment were moderately positive and statistically significant. The results of the regression revealed that transformational leadership and the school environment are responsible for 46.2% of the variation in the organizational commitment of teachers. However, the results of the coefficients revealed that only the school environment could predict organizational commitment.
Limitations: This study only involved 115 respondents and used adopted questionnaires, which might be quite different from the context of the respondents.
Contribution: The results and findings of this study can be used as a basis for implementing programs and interventions to address problems with teachers’ organizational commitment.
Novelty: Previous studies have only focused on some variables that influence organizational commitment, such as remoteness, emotional exhaustion, inaccessibility of healthy and sufficient school accommodations, and lack of local community linkages without a clear theoretical framework. Fortunately, this study explored other relevant factors, such as leadership and the school environment, as predictors of organizational commitment by establishing related theories to strongly support these variables with corresponding indicators.

Potential of neural networks for maximum displacement predictions in railway beams on frictionally damped foundations
Authors: Abambres Miguel , Corrêa Rita , Costa AP , Simões F
Published: March 2024

Since the use of finite element (FE) simulations for the dynamic
analysis of railway beams on frictionally damped foundations are (i)
very time consuming, and (ii) require advanced know-how and software
that go beyond the available resources of typical civil engineering
firms, this paper aims to demonstrate the potential of Artificial Neural
Networks (ANN) to effectively predict the maximum displacements and the
critical velocity in railway beams under moving loads. Four ANN-based
models are proposed, one per load velocity range ([50, 175] ∪
[250, 300] m/s; ]175, 250[ m/s) and per displacement type
(upward or downward). Each model is function of two independent
variables, a frictional parameter and the load velocity. Among all
models and the 663 data points used, a maximum error of 5.4 % was
obtained when comparing the ANN- and FE-based solutions. Whereas the
latter involves an average computing time per data point of thousands of
seconds, the former does not even need a millisecond. This study was an
important step towards the development of more versatile (i.e.,
including other types of input variables) ANN-based models for the same
type of problem.
Triaxial 3D-Channeled Soft Optical Sensor for Tactile Robots
Authors: Preti Matteo Lo , Bernabei Federico , Nardin Anderson B , Beccai Lucia
Published: March 2024

Soft optical transducers have the potential to fulfill the need for
advanced tactile sensing in robotics. We present a fingertipshaped soft
sensor with optically transparent channels that relies on soft materials
and sensor morphology to measure an applied triaxial force. The proposed
3D-channeled sensor has a volume of 2.5 cm , and
experimental results reveal a fifteen-fold increase in voltage compared
to its bulk analogous, showcasing a sensitivity of 0.34 N/mV and 0.09
N/mV to tangential and normal forces. A prototype with a diameter of 2
mm (0.4x) indicates the feasibility of scaling down the sensor. Force
magnitude is estimated with a linear model and then decomposed into its
Fxy and Fz with an R of 0.93 and 0.98 within a
sensing range of 4.05 N and 8.50 N, respectively. A coordinate
transformation from a covariant to a cartesian reference frame is used
to retrieve the direction of the tangential component of the force. The
sensor was integrated into a compliant robotic hand as a
proof-of-concept to demonstrate its real-time operation and suitability
for grasping, paving the way for advancements in soft tactile sensors
that can be embedded in soft robots.
Quadrotor Flight Simulation in a CFD-generated Urban Wind Field
Authors: Kakavitsas Nicholas , Willis Andrew , Jacobik Ryan , Uddin Mesbah , Wolek Artur
Published: March 2024

This paper presents a software pipeline that enables simulating a
quadrotor’s flight in realistic urban wind fields where complex wind
phenomena are common and have significant impact on vehicle dynamics.
The pipeline integrates the OpenStreetMap database for obtaining
real-world building geometry, the OpenFOAM computational fluid dynamics
(CFD) solver for computing a three-dimensional, steady, wind field, the
Gazebo robotics simulation environment, and the PX4 software-in-the-loop
autopilot. A 3D wind plugin is developed to interpolate a pre-computed
CFD wind field at runtime during the simulation. The approach is
demonstrated by comparing the flight performance of a quadrotor flying
over a university campus environment with and without the wind field.
New taxa of Barleria sect. Prionitis (Acanthaceae) from the Horn of Africa biodiversity hotspot in Somalia
Authors: Defty Ellie , Darbyshire Iain
Published: March 2024

Two new taxa in Barleria L. sect. Prionitis Nees (Acanthaceae) are described from Somalia, namely Barleria biramosa Defty & I.Darbysh. from central Somalia and B. compacta Malombe & I.Darbysh. subsp. minima I.Darbysh. & Defty from the northeast coastal region. These taxa are further endemics of the Horn of Africa biodiversity hotspot and have highly restricted ranges. Barleria biramosa was previously included within B. punctata Milne-Redh., another range-restricted endemic of the Horn of Africa region form northeast Ethiopia and northern Somalia; an updated description of B. punctata is therefore provided. Notes on the habitat requirements and conservation status (extinction risk) of the species are provided. Barleria biramosa is considered to be globally Endangered whilst B. compacta subsp. minima is currently assessed as Least Concern; the published assessment of Vulnerable for B. punctata is confirmed. With these additions, 11 taxa in 10 species of Barleria sect. Prionitis are currently recognised in Somalia.
Keetia nodulosa sp. nov. (Rubiaceae - Vanguerieae) of West-Central Africa: bacterial leaf nodulation discovered in a fourth genus and tribe of Rubiaceae
Authors: Cheek Martin , Onana Jean Michel
Published: March 2024

Keetia nodulosa Cheek, a cloud forest climber nearly endemic to Cameroon, with a single record from Nigeria, is described and illustrated. It is remarkable as the first known species to be recorded with bacterial leaf nodules (BLN) in the genus Keetia, and also, in the tribe Vanguerieae. Other genera in Rubiaceae with BLN are Psychotria (Psychotrieae-Rubioideae), Sericanthe (Coffeeae) and Pavetta (Pavetteae), both Ixoroideae/Dialypetalanthoideae. The BLN in Keetia (Vanguerieae) are illustrated for the first time here. The characteristics and significance of bacterial leaf nodulation in Keetia nodulosa are discussed in the context of rapidly growing knowledge on the subject in flowering plants. Keetia nodulosa is provisionally assessed using the 2012 IUCN standard as Endangered (EN B2ab(iii)). The importance of its conservation, and options for achieving this are discussed in the context of recent extinctions of other plant species in Cameroon. This discovery of a new cloud forest species is discussed in relation to other cloud forest plant species described in the last twenty years which are also distributed over the highlands of the western half of Cameroon.
Supplement to the Rubiaceae in the Flora dos Estados de Goiás e Tocantins, Brazil: Nomenclatural revision, typifications, new records, new identifications, and new combinations
Authors: Delprete Piero G.
Published: March 2024

The contribution of the family Rubiaceae for the Flora dos Estados de Goiás e Tocantins – Coleção Rizzo (FGT), published in November 2010, includes the treatment of 61 genera and 245 species. Nomenclatural types were cited in various ways, depending on the information and photographs available to the author before 2008. For numerous names, lectotype designations were not accompanied by “here designated” or a similar expression, which is required by the Internation Code of Nomenclature starting from 1 January 2001, therefore those designations are not valid. Also, the barcodes of type specimens were not cited in that treatment, because at that time, it was not common practice to cite that information, especially in floristic treatments, and also because barcodes were not yet assigned to specimens in many herbaria. The type citations are here corrected, type citations correctly cited with additional information added, and designate lectotypes or neotypes of names that still need to be designated, are deginated. A total of 81 lectotypifications and 11 neotypifications are here presented. A list of names newly typified is available in Appendix 1. Updates of the taxonomic and systematic changes that occurred during the last 15 years, are provided. Major changes regarding generic delimitations, mostly in the tribes Palicoureeae, Psychotriae, and Spermacoceeae, have recently been proposed, and numerous new combinations have recently been published by several authors, which are here included. Following those recent generic rearragements, three new combinations in Palicourea are here published, namely P. leiocarpa, P. stachyoides, and P. subtriflora.
A participative methodology for prioritising intervention logic in the design of the Italian CAP Strategic Plan
Authors: Cagliero Roberto , Mazzocchi Giampiero , Monteleone Alessandro , Pierangeli Fabio , Manzoni di Chiosca Pietro , Romano Elio
Published: March 2024

The new CAP implementation model requires each Member State to design a CAP Strategic Plan (CSP) to deliver operational actions under the two CAP pillars. Each CSP must be built from an evidence-based needs assessment that undergoes rigorous prioritisation to plan comprehensive and achievable interventions. In Italy, the institutional context requires all the Regions and Autonomous Provinces to express their preferences and to discuss the CSP collectively, both as regards identifying territorial needs and their prioritisation. In this framework, it became pertinent to introduce a specific instrument to facilitate participation in this process. The Italian Ministry, in collaboration with the National Rural Network, developed a participatory route to assess the prioritisation of the identified needs, to support the decision-making process in CSP drafting process. The process is primarily based on a voting aggregation technique called the Constrained Cumulative Voting method. The process identified makes it possible, on the one hand, to formulate a shared consensus on the level of importance of each need; on the other one, via the definition of natural breaks, to determine homogeneous groups of needs by importance of intervention. This process is in line with the European Commission’s legislative proposals requiring a sound and well-founded logic of intervention.
Agriculture and rural areas facing the “twin transition”: principles for a sustainable rural digitalisation
Authors: Brunori Gianluca
Published: March 2024

In this paper some of the key issues related to digitalisation in agriculture and rural areas are addressed. In line with the Green Deal, the paper proposes a framework on how to address the “twin transition” (ecological+digital) through transformative policies based on directionality, market integration and reflexivity. The framework is based on a view of digitalisation as a socio-technical process, which implies taking into account the social implications of any technology development, and centring innovation policies on a clear definition of the problems to be addressed. The paper proposes the concept of socio-cyber-physical system as a paradigm for policy strategies and for innovation and discusses its implications for sustainable digitalisation strategies in the field of agriculture and rural areas.
Engaging with barriers hampering uptake of digital tools
Authors: Grivins Mikelis , Kilis Emils
Published: March 2024

It is widely accepted that digitalisation can allow us to tackle the social, economic and even environmental challenges that agro-food systems are currently facing. There is a vibrant debate regarding the challenges one might face when adopting digital tools. This article engages in this discussion by exploring how barriers farmers encounter when implementing digital solutions manifest themselves as practical challenges farmers have to resolve. To do this, the article explores three cases in Latvia’s beef farming sector. The article focuses on the following two questions: 1) what were the challenges that the groups of farmers faced while trying to implement the new solutions; 2) how did these challenges transform the initial solutions the farmers were trying to implement? The three cases represent three initiatives at various stages of development (an emerging cooperative of beef farmers; an unorganised attempt by farmers to develop joint digital marketing tools; an online shop developed and maintained by an individual enterprise). The article argues that there are multiple creative strategies for dealing with barriers to digitalisation, but studies focusing on different obstacles to digitalisation should also be mindful of pre-existing issues that hamper digitalisation, while simultaneously being impervious to purely digital fixes.
Digitalisation in rural areas: exploring perspectives and main challenges ahead
Authors: Arcuri Sabrina , Brunori Gianluca , Rolandi Silvia
Published: March 2024

This paper offers a comprehensive critical review on digitalisation in rural areas, drawing on international and EU policies, scientific and grey literature and real-life examples from two European H2020 research projects. In doing so, it aims at providing a basic conceptual framework encompassing three main intervention areas, with relative sub-themes, identified as relevant for rural areas, namely: the rural digital divide, the attractiveness of rural areas and opportunities for strengthening local governance. For each of these broad themes, the role of digital tools is explored and supported by case study examples providing valuable insights and real-life applications in rural settings.
Why cassava processors will patronize mechanized cassava peeling machine service
Authors: Asempah Michael Kwame , Wongnaa Camillus Abawiera , Boansi David , Abokyi Emmanuel , Oppong Mensah Nicholas
Published: March 2024

Cassava peeling machines are available but are inaccessible and prohibitively expensive, especially for small-scale processors to acquire. This paper examines the perception and willingness of smallholder cassava processors to pay for cassava peeling machine services using data from 300 cassava processors in the Bono East Region of Ghana. A perception index from a 5-point Likert Scale and Cragg’s Double Hurdle model were the methods of analysis. The results revealed a perception index of 2.54 and this implies that cassava processors have neutral perception about the cassava peeling machine service. Also, it was found that majority of the processors (75.33%) are not aware of existence of the cassava peeling machine. In addition, we find that 99.63% of the cassava processors are willing to patronize the services of the cassava peeling machine. Moreover, cassava processors are willing to pay an average amount of GH₵ 4.21 for a 50 kg bag of cassava peeled using the services of the cassava peeling machine. Furthermore, the study revealed that factors such as educational level, quantity produced per processing cycle and the dependence on cassava processing as the main source of income positively and significantly influenced willingness to pay for the services. Finally, the amount processors were willing to pay was influenced by educational level, household size, source of income, perception about machine’s complications and group membership. The study recommends that investors consider installing cassava peeling machines to provide commercial cassava peeling services in processing areas. While generating income to investors, it will contribute to reducing postharvest losses during cassava processing. Future efforts should focus on raising awareness about the availability and benefits of commercialization of mechanized peeling of cassava.
