Integrating Adopter Categories into Adoption Trends among Coconut Growers in Coimbatore District, Tamil Nadu
Authors: Devi M Nirmala , Karthikeyan C , Mohanraj V , Tayang Weijimlu
Published: January 2024

Coconut, a versatile tropical fruit, holds significant importance globally, with India being a major contributor to its cultivation. In recent years, innovative practices in coconut cultivation have gained momentum by enhancing yield, quality, and resilience. However, the adoption of coconut production technologies among small-scale farmers remained slow. Therefore this research study aimed to shed light on the dynamic adoption behaviour of coconut growers’ in the Coimbatore district of Tamil Nadu, India. The study comprised of 120 farmers, who were selected through proportionate random sampling from two villages in the Coimbatore district. Based on the adoption of the latest technology available in coconut production, coconut grower’s adoption level was measured using percentage analysis. Findings revealed that the largest adopter category was innovators. The deviation was attributed to the uniqueness of the recommended varieties and coconut tonic adoption, regional cultural influences, and targeted awareness campaigns. The study highlights the importance of tailored awareness campaigns and incentives aimed at promoting innovation adoption among farmers to enhance production. With enhanced adoption of these practices, the coconut farming sector in the Coimbatore district and beyond can experience improved productivity, economic growth, and sustainable development.

Authors: Phebe M Olive , Chakravarty Ritu , Joseph M Benny
Published: January 2024

Climate change has comprehensive consequences on agriculture and livestock that will directly impact farmers, the perception of Agricultural scientists concerning climate change regionally is crucial in addressing its negative impacts effectively, thus the study was purposively conducted in the state of Telangana during 2021-2022 in nine major Indian institutes viz., ICRISAT, CRIDA, IIMR, IIOR, NIPHM, PJTSAU, NAARM, NIRD & PR, and MANAGE to assess the perception of Agriculturalscientists on causes of climate change, changes in climatic parameters, and on the impact of climate change on crop and dairy farming, random sampling procedure was followed and the total respondents for the study was 150. Pre-tested and standardized interview schedules were used to obtain data. The study through scientists’ perception identified the most important causes of climate change, the most observed changes in climatic parameters, and, the greatest impact of climate change on crop and dairy farming. The composite index developed using Principal Component Analysis showed that most of the respondents had a medium level of perception. Thus, the perceptions of agricultural scientists should be tapped to their fullest potential by policymakers in framing suitable solutions for adverse climate change impacts.
Simulation modeling with memory-type control charts for monitoring the process variability
Authors: Chatterjee Kashinath , Hached Mustapha , Koukouvinos Christos , Lappa Angeliki
Published: January 2024

Memory-type control charts, renowned for their effectiveness in identifying small deviations in the process variance, are commonly used to monitor the process variability. In this article, we introduce a new tool, the Quadruple Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (QEWMA) chart, which is designed for the specific purpose of monitoring changes in the process variability. We refer to this chart as the -QEWMA chart. The performance of the -QEWMA chart is assessed through an extensive series of Monte-Carlo simulations, carefully considering the run-length distribution. Comparing it with other well-known memory-type charts, it becomes evident that the -QEWMA chart excels in its ability to effectively detect small shifts in the process dispersion. To illustrate the practical application of this chart, we provide an example.

The internet is now a common place for different business, scientific and educational activities. However, there are bad elements in the internet space that keep using different attack techniques to perpetrate evils. Among these categories are people who use phishing techniques to launch attacks in the enterprise networks and internet space. The use of machine learning (ML) approaches for phishing attacks classification is an active research area in the field of cyber security. This is because phishing attack detection is a good example of intrusion identification tasks. These machine learning techniques can be categorized as single and ensemble learners. Ensemble learners have been identified to be more promising than the single classifiers. However, some of the ways to achieve an improved ML-based detection models are through feature selection/dimensionality reduction as well as hyper parameter tuning.  This study focuses on the classification of phishing websites using ensemble learning algorithms. Random Forest (RF) and Extra Trees ensembles were used for the phishing classification. The models built from the algorithms are optimized by applying a feature importance attribute selection and hyper parameter tuning approaches. The RF-based phishing classification model achieved 99.3% accuracy, 0.996 recall, 0.983 f1-score, 0.996 precision and 1.000 as AUC score. Similarly, Extra Trees-based model attained 99.1% accuracy, 0.990 as recall, F1-score was 0.981, precision of 0.990 while AUC score is 1.000. Thus, the RF-based phishing classification model slightly achieved better classification results when compared with the Extra Trees own. The study concluded that attribute selection and hyper parameter tuning approaches employed are very promising.

Authors: Ho Man Truong Phu ,   Le Khanh Linh, Nguyen Dang Huy Nhat, Ho Van Nhan, Tran Thanh Dat, Pham Tran Nhat Linh
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Introduction: To assess the quality of the Video Telescope Operating Monitor digital 3-Dimension (VITOM 3D) system and the primary results achieved after applying this system for soft tissue defects in reconstructive surgery at Hue Central Hospital (Viet Nam).
Patients and methods: We studied 82 patients (88 free flaps) with ages ranging from 7 to 80 years old undergone the soft tissue and bone defects reconstruction using VITOM 3D exoscope, from March 2019 to August 2022. We used the perspective study and the patients were researched on the properties of injury, on the kinds of flap or procedures, on sizes of flap or vessel, numbers of anastomosis, and on the results of surgery.
Results: In 82 patients with 88 free flaps we used in this study there included 72 Anterolateral Thigh Flaps (ALT) (81.8%), 7 Superficial Circumflex Iliac Perforator Artery Flaps (SCIP) (7.9%), 5 Latissimus Dorsal Flaps (LD) (5.6%) and 4 Fibular free flaps (4.5%). There were 72/88 flaps reaching Good level accounting for 81.2%, 12/88 flaps (15.9%) were at Average, 3/88 flaps (3.4%) were at Bad level due to being partial necrosis and 1 flap being failed with flap necrosis due to infection with MRSA. There were total 93 arterial and 146 vein anastomoses, respectively (on average: 2.7 anastomoses/flap). With the support of VITOM 3D system, we manipulated the arteries and veins having calibers is 2.4 ± 0.5 mm and 1.9 ± 0.4 mm on average, respectively. No anastomosis site complication was and the operative time in average 4.6 hours (ranging from 3 hours to 7 hours)..
Conclusion: We have updated and applied day by day widely, not just in the neurosurgery field, but also in reconstruction microsurgery. The primary results showed the efficiency and practicability of exoscopic 3D technique for soft tissue defect microsurgical treatment. The VITOM 3D system becomes more popular in both treatment for patients and training for students. However, we need to remember that the traditional Operating Microscope (OM) still keeps its valuations so further studies are needed to validate the advantages and disadvantages of VITOM 3D as compared to OM.
Keywords: VITOM 3D, operating microscope (OM), microsurgery.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of depression and associated socio demographic factors among personnel reporting to a field hospital in Sudan for routine medical care and analyze socio demographic factors associated with depressive symptoms.

Study Design: Cross sectional descriptive study.

Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted in a field hospital, from Apr 2015 to Mar 2016 in Sudan.

Methodology: The sample population comprised of 226 personnel who reported to the hospital for routine medical care. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was used to record the presence and severity of depressive symptoms. The following socio-demographic variables (rank, age, gender, ethnicity, education, marital status, socioeconomic status, family type, service in mission area, smoking habits, living conditions, lack of social support) were taken on a separate sheet.

Results: Out of 226 subjects 58.4% had no depressive symptoms, 15.5% had mild, 21.2% had moderate and 4.9% had severe depressive symptoms. Unsatisfied with living condition in mission area, having more than 6 months of service and lack of social support were correlated with depressive symptoms. Tobacco smoking was highly associated with depression, while female gender and low education had a weak association with depressive disorder.

Conclusion: The high prevalence of depressive symptoms in our study highlights the importance of developing good mental health care facilities for personnel deployed on different missions.
Territorialização da pecuária em zona de colonização agrícola: uma análise a partir de Castanhal, estado do Pará
Authors: Guilherme Junior José Antônio
Published: January 2024

A pecuária tem se expandido sobre diversas fronteiras amazônicas, como é o caso da Zona Bragantina, que mesmo sendo uma região de colonização agrícola, em um contexto mais recente, tem apresentado um crescimento da pecuária. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo objetiva discutir o processo de territorialização da atividade pecuária, no município de Castanhal, que pertence à Região Bragantina, uma das fronteiras agrárias mais antigas da Amazônia. A pesquisa possui uma natureza qualitativa e os dados primários e secundários foram colhidos a partir de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, além de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Para complementar as informações, realizou-se trabalhos de campo. O recorte temporal da pesquisa abrange os três censos agropecuários 1996, 2006 e 2016. Como resultado, tem-se que a territorialização da atividade pecuária se efetiva, em Castanhal, a partir da expansão do pasto, do crescimento do rebanho e da consolidação de uma rede de apoio técnico-logístico. Sua expansão desenvolveu-se, ao longo do tempo sobre a floresta secundária, imprimindo um uso da terra presidido pela atividade pecuária.

Published: January 2024

Devido ao crescimento urbano acelerado e desordenado dos municípios, a vegetação e os recursos hídricos tornaram-se cada vez mais propícios à deterioração ambiental. Por esse motivo, necessita-se de estudos que compreendam o progresso da expansão urbana, as mudanças ocorridas na paisagem, bem como, o surgimento dos impactos ocasionados ao longo do tempo. O presente artigo realizou uma análise temporal da cobertura vegetal e ocupação do solo na malha urbana da cidade de Vitória da Conquista – BA, identificando os impactos ambientais ocasionados no rio Verruga. Para o desenvolvimento do estudo foram utilizadas imagens de satélite Landsat 5 e Landsat 8 para os anos de 2000 e 2020, do sensor TM e OLI respectivamente, extraídas do catálogo de imagens do INPE. Ainda, usou-se dados do crescimento urbano dos bairros de Vitória da Conquista concedidos pelo IBGE e de estudos realizados para a elaboração do novo Plano Diretor de Desenvolvimento Urbano (PDDU) da cidade. O processamento das imagens foi executado no software QGis 3.10 através da aplicação do índice espectral NDVI, categorizando as áreas vegetadas e de impermeabilização do solo. Após a análise dos resultados obtidos, diagnosticou-se as modificações provenientes da expansão urbana da área estudada por meio dos valores obtidos com os índices e avaliação dos mapas gerados. Por fim, comprovou-se a supressão da vegetação ao longo do tempo principalmente nas zonas urbanas com ocupação de alta densidade exibindo o desaparecimento da cobertura vegetal em razão da ocupação do solo e o aumento dos impactos ambientais gerados no rio Verruga.

Analysis of Regional Food Security in Bungku Tengah Subdistrict, Morowali Regency
Authors: Hasmiati  , Rahma Ma'mun Sitti , Indro Yuwono Bambang
Published: January 2024

Food availability is very important in determining the food security of a region. However, the availability of food alone is not enough to determine the level of food security. This study aimed to measure the level of regional food security by using a composite index. This research was conducted in Bungku Tengah subdistrict from April to May 2014. This study used secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and the Food Agency of Morowali Regency, as well as field observations. The observed data includes three aspects, namely food production, distribution and consumption aspects. The data analysis technique used in this research is the food access analysis guide from the Food Security Agency in 2008. The results shows that the composite index of the three aspects of food security is quite high. Aspects of distribution, education and the availability of market facilities contribute to the combined value. However, if viewed from the aspect of availability, local production is still in deficit and income levels are classified as low so that it has the potential to cause food insecurity in the area. Programs to increase the planted area and intensification need to be pursued to increase production. Likewise, is needed food diversification to reduce dependence on rice.

Abstract. Pepper farming has an important and strategic role in increasing the income of the pepper plantation community in East Kolaka Regency, however, smallholder pepper plantations are still characterized by various weaknesses such as relatively narrow farming land, conventionally cultivated with low productivity and quality, and a weak position in product marketing. This study aims to examine the financial feasibility and sensitivity of pepper farming in East Kolaka District, Southeast Sulawesi Province. The designated research location is Tirawuta District as a pepper production center in the pepper plantation community in East Kolaka Regency. Sampling was carried out purposively based on the age of the plants, ie 1 to 17 years old. The data were analyzed using a quantitative descriptive analysis method using a feasibility analysis through the Benefit-Cost approach in PAM and sensitivity analysis. The results showed that financially, the pepper farming of plantation communities in East Kolaka Regency was feasible and profitable as evidenced by a B/C value of 1.10 and an NPV value of IDR 48,429,250.00.-. The results of the sensitivity analysis with the scenario if inorganic fertilizers are not subsidized by the government show a decrease in farmers' profits by 17,4 %, but smallholder pepper farming is still feasible to cultivate

This study reports on the utilization of gallons of water used as containers for household-scale water purification filtration devices. The method of making a filtration device is by making a tap hole (outlet) at the bottom of the gallon and then putting in a filter material consisting of gravel, fine sand, charcoal, coarse sand, sponges, and palm fibre. A water filtration system by entering the water in the top hole of the gallon and the filtered water results are located at the bottom of the gallon that has been given a faucet. Based on the results of this study, it is shown that a gallon waste water-based filtration system is effective in the water filtration process at housing X in Kendari City. Test parameters consisting of turbidity, color, total dissolved solids (TDS), acidity (pH), and iron (Fe) content showed that the decrease in content that occurred in each turbidity test was 56.77%, color 33.33%, TDS 33.61%, the pH level increased by 4.21% (7.37 to 7.68) due to the effect of reduced levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in water from the filtration process and categorized as water that is suitable for health. Fe levels did not change significantly, where there was an increase of 1.2% (25.7 × 10-4 mg.L-1 to 26.0 × 10-4 mg.L-1). The results of this study illustrate that gallons of water waste can be used as a material for making simple filtration equipment for household-scale water filtration processes.

"Nuestra Agenda Común" surge como una respuesta integral a los desafíos globales contemporáneos, como la pandemia de COVID-19, conflictos y cambio climático. La iniciativa aboga por la implementación de acuerdos existentes, incluyendo los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), con un llamado al multilateralismo liderado por las Naciones Unidas. Mientras tanto, la "Nueva Agenda de Juventudes" se centra en los desafíos específicos que enfrentan las generaciones jóvenes tras la pandemia. Busca abordar brechas sociales, promover la salud mental, adaptarse a la digitalización y maximizar los ODS. Destaca la propuesta de la "Cumbre del Futuro" como un punto clave de "Nuestra Agenda Común", programada para septiembre de 2024. Se espera que esta cumbre genere un "Pacto por el Futuro" para abordar diversas áreas de preocupación global. La "Nueva Agenda de Juventudes" y la Cumbre del Futuro se complementan, con especial énfasis en la participación juvenil, la educación digital y el desarrollo de habilidades.

Pests and plant diseases pose significant challenges to Indonesia's agricultural development of sugar cane. The fall in national sugar productivity can be attributed, in part, to the presence of sugar cane shoot borer bugs. Managing sugar cane shoot borer pests is a crucial aspect of agriculture. The objective of this scientific study is to ascertain the optimal approach for the introduction of parasitoid larvae of sugarcane shoot borer pests. This will be done by looking at the Lotka-Volterra equation's stability and finding the best way to control it. This is a mathematical model used to show how biological control systems work. Specifically, the study focuses on the biological control of sugarcane shoot borer pests using their parasitic larvae, the Diatraeophaga striatalis Towns. The researchers opted for the qualitative descriptive approach, employing analytical tools derived from Miles and Huberman's four-stage framework. The equilibrium point and optimal control analyses show that the model presents various outcomes with distinct methods. These findings will be further examined in the subsequent sections of this paper.
