Published: September 2024

Varietal selection is a key aspect in common bean production in Kenya since different varieties are bred for specific agro ecological conditions. In Kenya, many common bean varieties are found growing under medium agro ecological zones, however, some farmers have been found to grow some bean varieties not suited to preferred ecological zones. The current study was thus carried out to assess the factors that affect varietal selection and production of common beans in medium potential agro ecological zones of Imenti South Sub County, Meru County. The target population was 300 common bean farmers. A sample size of 75 farmers derived from Gaatia, Kathanthatu, Kiambogo and Kiigene villages using Nassiuma Formula. A structured questionnaire was administered to collected data on socioeconomic factors, common bean production systems and agronomic practices. The collected data weresubjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) using SAS version 9.4 and Significant means separated using least significant difference at p< 0.05. The findings on socio-economic factors revealed that farmers with higher levels of education produced more beans per unit area. Approximately 10.52 % of the 22.37 % of the farmers with tertiary college education had a production of 1.4 – 1.9 tonnes/ha. Majority (88.16 %) of the farmers applied DAP planting fertilizer,while none of the farmersapplied rock phosphate. Moreover, the highest percentage (34.9 %) of farmers who applied DAP had attained tertiary level education. Most (18.42 %) middle aged farmers did not apply rhizobium inoculant during planting. The most popular production system was mixed cropping (46.7 %) and the least was intercropping (6.59 %). Mixed cropping was highest in farmers who planted GLP 585 (13.33 %) and least in KAT B1 (10.23 %). Sole cropping was highest in Mwitemania (12.0 %) and least in Rose coco (6.58 %). Crop rotation was highest in Rose coco (5.26 %) and least in GLP 585, Mwitemania and KAT B1 (2.63 %). Intercropping was highest in Rose coco (2.63 %) and least in GLP 585, Mwitemania and KAT B1 varieties at (1.32 %).Bean variety KAT B1 despite being bred for semi-arid agro ecological zones, performed fairly well in medium potential agro ecological zones. Bean variety KAT B1 can be recommended for production in medium potential agro ecological zones to enhance common bean production and food security in Kenya.

A few of the challenges the grocery retail sector is currently facing globally include the perishability of food products, which requires special handling, demand and supply forecasting, maintaining continuous stock inventories, return management, and waste management. In today’s world, reverse logistics and speedy and effective food product movement along supply chain networks are both essential. Employing reverse logistics benefits business operations and unwittingly supports global government sustainability objectives, which in turn benefits the green supply chain. While reverse logistics techniques frequently concentrate on ways to profit from returned goods and lower their cost of loss, they unwittingly have an indirect negative influence on the environment. There are far too many wastes produced by the retail sector. Based on that supposition, the study’s major goal is to analyses the best strategies for using reverse logistics and managing waste issue in this industry, so that business operations can be successful, economical, and eventually deliver a high-quality product to the customer. To collect specific information and viewpoints from the targeted organization, a qualitative technique was adopted in this study. Through this study, the authors can provide suitable recommendation solution find ways to reduce the cost of transportation if possible and improve the logistics system as a whole. This is because reverse logistics in retailing industry plays an important role in sustaining the retail business for all the parties involved in the business and logistics.

Published: September 2024

In light of the increasing global recognition of workplace mental health, this study examines employees’ knowledge and perceptions of mental health practices within a brick manufacturing company in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. Despite the growing adoption of mental health policies aimed at improving employee well-being, a gap persists between the implementation of these practices and employees’ understanding of them. This research employs a qualitative phenomenological approach, utilizing semi-structured interviews with 15 employees to explore their awareness, perceptions and experiences related to mental health policies. Findings reveal that while employees are generally aware of the existence of mental health policies, their knowledge of specific resources and services remains limited. Mixed perceptions of the effectiveness of these policies suggest that, although well-intentioned, their practical impact often falls short. Barriers such as stigma, insufficient awareness, and confidentiality concerns hinder the utilization of available mental health resources, whereas supportive management and visible resources act as facilitators. The study highlights critical areas for improvement, including the need for better communication, increased training and enhanced confidentiality measures. Recommendations include implementing awareness campaigns, providing comprehensive support services, and conducting regular workshops. Addressing these issues is essential for creating a more effective mental health support system within the company, thereby enhancing employee well-being and productivity.

Multi-Step-Ahead Prediction of Chaotic Time Series: Self-Healing Algorithm for Restoring Values at Non-Predictable Points
Authors: Gromov Vasilii A. , Tomashchuk Korney K. , A. Rukavishnikov Alexey
Published: September 2024

Problem: The study proposes a new algorithm for multi-step-ahead prediction of chaotic time series within the framework of the clustering-based forecasting paradigm. The introduction of the concept of non-predictable points enabled to avoid the exponential growth of the prediction error as a function of the number of steps ahead, which made it possible to develop algorithms that predict many Lyapunov times (and many steps) ahead – the price for this turned out to be that some points remained non-predictable. In this work, we say that it is necessary to be of great help regarding the exemption and development of the scientific university. Method: This study proposes a self-healing algorithm, which is an iterative algorithm that takes as input the forecasts produced by the underlying prediction algorithm. At each iteration, the self-healing algorithm finds new possible predicted values, updates the status of the points from predictable to non-predictable or vice versa, and calculates new single predicted values for the predictable points. The study proposes several new algorithms for calculating a single prediction value and algorithms for determining non-predictable points. We have studied new publications of parameter estimates, importance monitoring, and predictive features with more views and size objectives. Results: In the results of our work, the new tools in specific indicators: RMSE was increased from 0.11 to 0.06, and MAPE was reduced from 0.38 to 0.04. Conclusion: Research has been conducted on the selection of parameters for the self-healing algorithm, its assessment, and the prediction quality compared to the existing prediction algorithm.
Superporous Hydrogel: An Innovative Method for Secure Gastroretentive Drug Delivery Systems
Authors: Syeda Sadia  , Dr. Rakesh K. Jat  , Dr. Padmalatha Malthar
Published: September 2024

Superporous hydrogels were initially developed as innovative drug delivery systems to retain dosage forms in the upper gastrointestinal tract and to absorb drugs in the gastric media. This review addresses the generation-based classification of superporous hydrogels. The hydrophilic polymer networks, created by molecular entanglements, can absorb water up to thousands of times their dry weight. These systems expand rapidly and endure very acidic conditions in the stomach. This hydrogel rapidly swells due to capillary forces, driven by water absorption through its open porosity structure. This technique enhances solubility and bioavailability by precisely targeting the absorption site. Traditional superporous hydrogels have inadequate mechanical strength, which is addressed by the development of second-generation superporous hydrogel composites and third-generation superporous hydrogel hybrids. This article primarily addresses the classification, methodologies, drug loading, scholarly articles, characteriszations, and uses of superporous hydrogels

Authors: Nkemjika Emmanuel, Victoria , Victor Enyinnaya Chibunna , Uzoma Ezeoha Bright , Loveday Ogbonna Tochukwu
Published: September 2024

This work aims to develop and analyze deep learning and natural language processing systems in the context of medical information processing. The amount of data created about patients in the healthcare system is always increasing. The human review of this enormous volume of data derived from numerous sources is expensive and takes a lot of time. Additionally, during a patient visit, doctors write down the patient’s medical encounter and send it to nurses and other medical departments for processing. Often, the doctor doesn’t have enough time to record every observation made while examining the patient and asking about their medical history which takes time for a medical diagnosis to be made. The manual review of this vast amount of data generated from multiple sources is costly and very time-consuming. It brings huge challenges while attempting to review this data meaningfully. Therefore, the goal of this research is to create a system that will address the aforementioned issues. The suggested method extracts voice data from medical encounters and converts it to text using Deep Learning (DL) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques. More so, the system developed will improve medical intelligence processing by using deep learning to analyze medical datasets and produce results of a diagnosis, assisting medical professionals at various levels in making realistic, intelligent decisions in real-time regarding crucial health issues. The system was designed using the Object-Oriented Analysis and Design Methodology (OOADM), and the user interfaces were put into place utilizing Natural Language Processing techniques, particularly speech recognition and natural language comprehension. Speech recognition allows for the taking of free text notes, which can drastically cut down on the amount of time medical staff spends on labor-in the tensive clinical recording. By extracting different pieces of data for medical diagnosis and producing results in a matter of seconds, a deep learning algorithm demonstrates a significant capacity to construct clinical decision support systems. The system’s results demonstrate that the deep learning algorithm enabled medical intelligence to be 96.7 percent accurate.

The global fishing industry, a vital source of food and economic activity, generates substantial amounts of fish scale waste, a byproduct of fish processing that poses significant environmental challenges. This waste, often discarded in landfills, contributes to environmental pollution and the depletion of valuable resources, particularly keratin, a protein with diverse industrial applications. Microbial bioconversion of the rich keratinous waste abundant in the environment provides a rich source of available protein which lurks in keratin-rich waste and this achievement will lead to a reduction in environmental pollution and improve the economy as the proteins gotten and microorganisms isolated can be utilized in the production of high-value products in both agriculture, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, detergent, textile, fertilizer, and biomedical industries. This study aimed to isolate keratinase-producing organisms from decaying fish scales. The research commenced by enriching decayed fish scales in a basal medium, followed by inoculation onto three different media: Fish Scale Agar (FSA), Starch Casein Agar (SCA), and Nutrient Agar (NA). This resulted in the isolation of 27 bacterial strains, they were subjected to proteolytic enzyme activity analysis on skim milk agar to identify the proteolytic organisms and six (6) isolates namely SCAA1 (2cm), SCAA2 (1.3cm), SCAA3 (4cm), SCAA4 (4.2cm), FSAA2 (2.4cm) and FSAA5 (2.2cm) showed hallow zones of different magnitude on skim milk agar. FSAA2 (68%) and SCAA1 (66%) showed highest levels of degradation of whole fish scales and these two isolates were identified as Alcaligenes faecalis (SCA A1) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (FSA A2) using a combination of Gram’s reaction, biochemical tests, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
