Sustainable Investment Strategies for Rural Development
Authors: Scarlet Julie
Published: August 2024

Purpose: The general objective of this study was to analyze sustainable investment strategies for rural development.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to sustainable investment strategies for rural development. Preliminary empirical review revealed that sustainable investment strategies had the potential to significantly improve socio-economic and environmental outcomes in rural areas. Effective strategies were found to address challenges such as poverty and infrastructure deficits while promoting environmental sustainability. The success of these strategies relied heavily on their alignment with local needs, the robustness of governance structures and the integration with broader rural development policies. Investments in renewable energy and infrastructure were particularly impactful, but their benefits varied based on local context and community engagement.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Theory of Sustainable Development, Institutional Theory and Social Capital Theory may be used to anchor future studies on sustainable investment strategies. The study recommended developing tailored investment frameworks to address the specific needs of rural areas, strengthening local governance and institutional capacities to enhance transparency and stakeholder engagement, and promoting community involvement through capacity-building initiatives. It also suggested leveraging public-private partnerships to pool resources and expertise, ensuring long-term financial sustainability through innovative financing mechanisms, implementing robust monitoring and evaluation systems to track project impact, and encouraging policy integration and coordination to align investments with broader rural development objectives.
Effects of Foreign Direct Investment on Poverty and Development
Authors: Bibi Valentine
Published: August 2024

Purpose: This study sought to investigate the effects of Foreign Direct Investment on poverty and development.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to Foreign Direct Investment on poverty and development. Preliminary empirical review revealed that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) significantly contributed to economic growth and poverty reduction, particularly in countries with well-developed infrastructure, high levels of human capital, and robust governance structures. It highlighted the complexity of FDI's impact on poverty, noting that while FDI generally led to positive economic outcomes, the distribution of these benefits could be uneven, potentially exacerbating income inequality. The study emphasized the importance of a conducive policy environment and recommended a balanced approach that combined FDI with domestic investments to ensure sustainable development and poverty alleviation.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Modernization Theory, Dependency Theory and Eclectic Paradigm (OLI Framework) may be used to anchor future studies on Foreign Direct Investment. The study recommended a multi-pronged strategy to maximize the benefits of FDI on poverty reduction and development. It suggested improving investment climates by enhancing infrastructure, education, and healthcare, and fostering stable regulatory frameworks. Policies should promote inclusive growth through progressive taxation, social safety nets, and support for SMEs. The study also advised aligning FDI with long-term development goals, strengthening institutions, and leveraging international support for capacity-building. Continuous monitoring and evaluation of FDI's impact were deemed essential to ensure it contributed positively to sustainable development and poverty reduction.

Competitiveness and Knowledge in Theory and Practice
Authors: Westeren Knut Ingar
Published: August 2024

This chapter is about competitiveness in theory and in reality at the firm level. The competitive situation of the firm has always been vital to the firm’s development while the more theoretical discussions have changed in intensity. One upswing of the theoretical debate came in the 1980’s with the introduction of the work by Porter and this debate is still continuing. One result so far seems to that most scientists are critical to transfer the concept of competitiveness from the micro/firm level to the macro level.   There still seems to be two points of departure (or “schools”) for how to conceptualize competitiveness. One has been called the industrial economy school linked to Porter and the other using a resource/competence view of the firm, several scientists can be named here, e. g. Penrose and Hunt. In this chapter we discuss similarities and differences between these schools.   After 2000 we have seen several statements from the European Union and others about how developed economies actively must utilize the knowledge base of the communities they are a part of to develop competitiveness. In the empirical part of this chapter we show how that can be done. This analysis is done within the framework of a resource/competence based view of the firm where it is important to develop competence depending on changing needs from the market.

This research aims to explore the potential of image metrology as a substitute for monitoring building structural deformations. It utilizes stereo-photogrammetry and the Kalman filter in its approach. The ultimate goal is to reduce the damage to human lives and property caused by the collapse of building structures in urban areas. Image metrology and conventional geodetic surveying were both used in monitoring the deformation of a selected building prone to land subsidence. Four geodetic monitoring stations were established using the GNSS surveying technique, while 10 photo points were placed on the selected building for deformation monitoring. Simultaneous observation of photo points and acquisition of their images were carried out during the first three months of this study. The data acquired via geodetic survey were subjected to least square adjustment while the images acquired were subjected to stereo-photogrammetry and Kalman filtering for extraction and refinement of photo point coordinates. The preliminary results show that image metrology is comparable to conventional geodetic survey methods for monitoring building deformation down to 100 mm. The t statistic value of 1.524234 and t critical value of 1.7291333 justify the comparability.

Crypto ransomware attacks pose a significant threat by encrypting users' data and demanding ransom payments, causing permanent data loss if not detected and mitigated before encryption occurs. The existing studies have faced challenges in the pre-encryption phase due to elusive attack patterns, insufficient data, and the lack of comprehensive information, often confusing the current detection techniques. Selecting appropriate features that effectively indicate an impending ransomware attack is a critical challenge. This research addresses this challenge by introducing an Enhanced Joint Mutual Information (EJMI) method that effectively assigns weights and ranks features based on their relevance while conducting contextual data analysis. The EJMI method employs a dual ranking system—TF for crypto APIs and TF-IDF for non-crypto APIs—to enhance the detection process and select the most significant features for training various Machine Learning (ML) classifiers. Furthermore, grid search is utilized for optimal classifier parameterization, aiming to detect ransomware efficiently and accurately in its pre-encryption phase. The proposed EJMI method has demonstrated a 4% improvement in detection accuracy compared to previous methods, highlighting its effectiveness in identifying and preventing crypto-ransomware attacks before data encryption occurs.

Published: August 2024

Electrical and mechanical subsystems are the main parts of the powertrain of an Electric Vehicle (EV). These parts include principally electric motors, inverters, batteries, wheels, axles, differentials, and transmissions. Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) is one of the most popular used motors in the electric powertrain due to its several benefits over other AC motors, such as its small size, low weight, wide range of speed, elevated overload capacity, elevated power factor, and elevated efficiency. This paper compares the performance of PI and sliding-mode controllers for PMSM employed in electric vehicle applications with single-motor drive configurations. Dynamic performance and robustness are the main topics of the comparative analysis. The robustness of the drive train with sliding-mode controller is proven by simulation results.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized individuals’ homes with smart devices, but it has also brought security worries due to the huge amounts of data they generate. This study aims to uncover common security problems, like malware, cyber-attacks, and data storage flaws, in such smart setups. To tackle these issues, this study suggests beefing up security measures and educating users about safe device practices. A new approach was followed in this study, using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) instead of the traditional Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods. CNNs are great at understanding complex patterns in text, especially on platforms like Twitter where messages can be brief and unclear. By applying CNN to analyze Twitter data, specific entities linked to security issues could be pinpointed, giving a deeper insight into smart home security challenges. The findings showed that the employed CNN model was exceptionally efficient at sorting out tweets regarding security problems in smart homes. It achieved an accuracy of around 87%, precision of 76.78%, recall of 82.49%, and F1-score of 84.87% surpassing the other methods it was compared with. These findings underscore the CNN model's effectiveness in accurately classifying security-related tweets in diverse topics within smart living environments.

This study evaluated the Moodle Professional Learning Management System (PLMS), based on user experience during the global pandemic of COVID-19, to explore the impact of system, service, information, education, learner, and instructor qualities on user satisfaction (SAT), perceived ease of use (PEOU), and perceived usefulness (PU). Data were collected using previously validated scales. Using SmartPLS structural equation modeling, data from 403 college students were analyzed to test 22 hypotheses. The results show that system and information quality positively affect PEOU. Although service quality had a partially significant impact on PU, it negatively affected SAT and PEOU. The quality of the education system had a partially positive impact on PU but a negative impact on PEOU and SAT. Learner quality positively affected PEOU, PU, and SAT. Although PU and PEOU significantly and positively affected benefits (BEN), SAT had only a partially significant impact. The results support the need for continued integration of e-learning with traditional learning schemas. This comprehensive analysis demonstrates how quality dimensions affect user experiences and outcomes in a unique cultural and emergency context, thus contributing to the e-learning body of knowledge.
