In India, more than 70 percent of the populations resides in rural communities. In these communities, the individuals have recognized the meaning and significance of education. But it is unfortunate to note that system of education is not in a well-developed state. This is regarded as one of the critical impediments within the course of progression of rural individuals and communities. Hence, there is a need to formulate programs, which are essential in leading to up-gradation of overall system of education. Within these programs, all factors are to be taken into account, which are necessary in bringing about improvements in overall structure of the organizations. Within rural schools, it is necessary in promoting enhancement of teaching-learning methods, teaching-learning materials, assessment strategies and instructional strategies. Furthermore, up-gradations need to take place in various types of extra-curricular and creative activities. These are essential in stimulating the mind-sets of rural individuals towards learning and achievement of educational goals. In this manner, there will be an increase in rate of absenteeism. One of the important aspects is, there is a need to recruit well-qualified and experienced teachers. As they are contributing efficiently in promoting student learning and leading to up-gradations of overall system of education. Therefore, in order to lead to progression, it is necessary to promote developments in overall system of education. The main concepts that are taken into consideration in this research paper are, objectives of promoting developments in rural education, measures to be implemented in promoting developments in system of education, and advantages of promoting enrichment of rural education.

Published: May 2024

Organizational capabilities are critical sources of creating and building long-term competitive advantage. Organizations that can develop and deploy unique, inimitable, and valuable capabilities will gain sustainable competitive advantage. There is a dearth of information on the role of organizational capabilities in the implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning. Thus, this research analyzed the influence of Information and Communication Technology infrastructure on the adoption of Enterprise Resource Planning at the Kenya Medical Research Institute. This research was premised on the resource-based view theory, technology acceptance model, and dynamic capabilities theory. A descriptive survey design was utilized in the study. Semi-structured questionnaires will be administered for the data-gathering process. A census approach was used to select 52 employees of Kenya Medical Research Institute. The researcher personally issued the questionnaire to the subjects. The drop-and-pick method was adopted later in cases where participants might be unable to complete and return the questionnaires at the time of their administration. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21 was utilized for descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. Regression and correlation analyses were performed to unearth the associations among variables. All ethical conducts were duly followed. Prose discussion was used to display the data collection’s findings and the validity of the questionnaire was conducted by the use of expert opinions that assisted to establish content validity and the supervisor reviewing the items suggested while reliability was determined using Cronbach’s Alpha test. The findings indicated a positive influence of Information and Communication Technology infrastructure on the adoption of ERP. The study concludes that a robust IT infrastructure is essential for supporting the scalability requirements of an ERP system. Senior management support helps in securing necessary resources for the ERP implementation, including budget allocation, staffing, and technology infrastructure. The study recommends that KEMRI should upgrade hardware and software by investing in new servers, storage devices, and networking equipment can help ensure that the IT infrastructure can support the demands of the ERP system.
Fortifying SplitFed Learning: Strengthening Resilience Against Malicious Clients
Authors: Kumaar Ashwin , Shukla Raj Mani , Patra Amar Nath
Published: May 2024

This article focuses on analyzing SplitFed Learning against model poisoning vulnerability and developing methods to protect such a system against these attacks. SplitFed learning is a distributed learning paradigm where a neural network model is split between clients and the server, contrasting with traditional Federated Learning. SplitFed learning enables enhanced security and privacy of data, and clients do not need to perform heavy computation in model training, as they only need to train a part of the model. This approach ensures that the model can make precise predictions while maintaining the confidentiality of sensitive information. In addition to implementing a SplitFed Model, the paper proposes a distance-based method that can poison SplitFed Learning-based systems. Subsequently, this paper develops a novel prevention strategy based on robust statistical properties of the sample. To test the proposed methodology, as a test case, we have employed the image cell dataset of the malaria parasite. By addressing the impacts of adversarial attacks, this paper contributes to the advancement of deep learning techniques.

TRANSFORMING INDIAN AGRICULTURE THROUGH FARMING INNOVATIONS
Authors: Dr Suresha K. P
Published: May 2024

Contract farming has existed for a long time, taking different forms, such as a sharecropping contract that was initially regarded as a feudal form of agriculture because the markets were either absent or underdeveloped (Eswaran and Kotwal, 1985). Initially, contract farming was a common practice in developed countries, driven principally by concerns over food safety and quality (Otsuka et al., 2016; Mishra et al., 2018; Bellemare and Bloem, 2018). Glover (1984) describes contract farming as an institutional arrangement with advantages for plantations and smallholder production. Farmers and buyers commonly use contract farming to make advance agreements on volume, specific requirements, delivery, and price.

Potential of Solid Waste from Palm Oil as Fuel for Steam Power Plants in Palm Oil Factories
Authors: Erivianto Dino , Dani Ahmad
Published: May 2024

This research aims to analyze the potential electric energy contained in the by-products and processed waste of palm oil. Biomass derived from palm oil by-products can serve as an alternative source of energy, with potential calorific value to generate electricity from boilers or as renewable energy. While solid waste from palm oil by-products is commonly utilized as boiler fuel and fertilizer, it holds promise as a renewable energy source in its entirety. The research process includes problem identification, formulation, determination of research objectives, literature review, field surveys, primary data collection through observation and interviews, data analysis, and presentation of research results. Field observations from several visited palm oil mills reveal that solid waste by-products typically consist of 5-7% shell, 11-14% fiber, and 20-22% Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) per ton of processed Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB). Considering the maximum electricity requirement for processing 30 tons/hour and the potential electrical energy contained in each waste type, utilizing fiber waste alone as boiler fuel is sufficient, offering a potential electrical energy of 542.1 kW. Any excess electrical power generated (580 kW) by the boiler can be sourced from shell waste, enabling surplus electricity to be sold to external parties. With the surplus electrical power estimated at 130 – 70 kW/hour, operating for 20 hours per day yields a surplus of 1.4 – 2.6 MW/day from processing. The calorific value of solid palm oil waste is notably affected by its moisture content. Proper management of fiber waste utilization can effectively fulfill the energy needs of palm oil mills. Additionally, there is potential to sell approximately 648 – 686 kW of electrical energy externally, derived from shell waste and EFB.

The results showed that students who have high ability, recognition level to remember and identify previous activities related to the problem at hand. At the representation level, students can translate information into mathematical models correctly. At the structural abstraction level, students can solve problems correctly, and are able to overcome difficulties in solving problems. At the structural awareness level, students are able to provide arguments about the results of the answers that have been done. While students with low ability, at the recognition level are able to remember previous activities related to the problem at hand. At the representation level, students are able to translate information into mathematical models, but students are less careful and wrong so that at the structural abstraction level students are able to solve problems, but the final results obtained are not correct. At the structural awareness level, students are able to solve and explain the steps in the problem. Based on the results of the study, teachers should guide students by providing problem exercises that can increase reflective abstraction, especially considering student responses and learning outcomes collected from high and low ability students. For this reason, further research needs to be carried out with other student data sources.

Published: May 2024

Norcorrole is a stable 16π antiaromatic porphyrinoid that exhibits characteristic reactivities and physical properties. Here, we disclose the reaction of Ni(II) norcorroles with alkyl radicals derived from azo radical initiators. The radical selectively attacked the distal α-position to the meso position to construct a non-aromatic bowl-shaped structure. The photophysical and electrochemical properties of the obtained radical adducts were compared with those of the parent Ni(II) norcorrole. The radical reactivity of Ni(II) norcorroles was investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
Interoception in the Determination of Reaction Times and Pulse Amplitude Sensitivity
Authors: Boateng Oheneba
Published: May 2024

Interoception is the awareness of changes of sensation within the body. Over the years, interoception has been analyzed in the context of the perception of visceral activity and its effects on emotional regulation. There is little to no knowledge of how the interoceptive ability of an individual affects physical parameters such as Reaction Time (RT). Measures such as the MAIA-2 have been used to rank an individual’s interoceptive ability. The Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA) is an 8-scale state-trait questionnaire with 37 items to measure multiple dimensions of interoception by self-report. Participants (n = 29, x̄ = 21.4 years) in the study first completed the MAIA-2 and a series of tests to extrapolate measures of RT [ms], Reaction Time Variability (RTV) [ms], and the minimum differentiable pulse amplitude (lower limen) [um] of two stimuli. RT and RTV scores were compared to subscales scores of Noticing, Self-regulation, and Body-Listening. Non-Distracting, Non-Worrying, and Attention Regulation were compared to lower limen scores. External cues for these measures were presented with the Brain Gauge from Cortical Metrics. No correlations were found between the RT, RTV, lower limen, and their respective MAIA-2 categories. Clusters of data are evident for certain categories (i.e. RTV), however, they may be influenced by the age composition of the sample. Though there are no conclusive results, further post-testing along with more variable samples could reveal connections between self-perception and interactions with the environment.

Anteriormente, se creía que la traducción consistía en encontrar la equivalencia exacta al reproducir un mensaje en otra lengua; sin embargo, con el tiempo se comprendió que la labor de un traductor va más allá de la reproducción fiel de significados, dado que existen múltiples aspectos de una lengua que no pueden ser transmitidos con tal precisión. En este sentido, la traducción inglés-español de culturemas es un desafío importante para los futuros traductores profesionales. Los estudiantes de esta profesión deben ser capaces de comprender los significados pragmáticos que resguardan dichos elementos lingüísticos para poder determinar formas efectivas de traducirlos. Por ello, en este artículo se presentan los resultados de un estudio realizado con alumnos de Traducción e Interpretación de la Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco, en el que se analizaron las estrategias utilizadas por los estudiantes al traducir culturemas del inglés al español. La investigación se abordó desde un enfoque mixto. Se empleó un cuestionario estructurado y se aplicaron ejercicios de traducción con el fin de recopilar información tanto cuantitativa como cualitativa que permitiera examinar la aplicación de estrategias de traducción específicas. Los resultados permitieron concluir que los estudiantes poseen fallas en su formación traductora, principalmente al determinar técnicas de traducción, así como no cuentan con los conocimientos suficientes sobre los culturemas del idioma inglés.

As pirimidinas são compostos N-heterocíclicos que se destacam por suas amplas funcionalidades na produção de agentes farmacêuticos, como antifúngicos, anti-hipertensivos, antitumorais, anti-inflamatórios, antibacterianos, analgésicos. Além de estarem presentes nas estruturas dos ácidos nucleicos, em purinas, coenzimas e vitaminas, estes compostos podem ser obtidos por meio das reações multicomponentes, na qual possibilitam a síntese de um único produto a partir de três ou mais reagentes em um processo de “one-pot”. Devido à diversidade biológica, as pirimidinas e seus derivados têm atraído a atenção de muitos pesquisadores para estudar a química e a atividade biológica dessas estruturas. Esta revisão destaca os diferentes métodos de sínteses e as ações farmacológicas dos derivados pirimidinas-5-carbonitrilas.

Refletir sobre a necessidade de se abordar a temática “Educação Financeira” (EF), justifica-se na importância de formar, ainda na escola, um cidadão crítico e responsável, capaz de realizar o consumo consciente de bens e materiais. Foi com este pensamento que a pesquisa que resultou neste artigo foi elaborada, tendo como objetivo geral “verificar como a temática Educação Financeira é abordada pelos livros didáticos de Matemática, direcionados ao 5º Ano do Ensino Fundamental, disponibilizados pelo Programa Nacional do Livro e Material Didático - PNLD 2019”. Visando a atender a este objetivo, foi proposta uma pesquisa bibliográfica, em que se considerou como instrumento do estudo os 10 (dez) dos 16 (dezesseis) livros didáticos de Matemática, direcionados a esse nível de ensino e disponibilizados pelo PNLD 2019. A coleta de dados se deu a partir de uma ficha, em que se buscou identificar nas obras analisadas a abordagem dada a temática “Educação Financeira”, identificando as metodologias e recursos didáticos propostos. Além de estudiosos sobre o tema, utilizou-se como referencial teórico a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC). Diante deste contexto, foi possível verificar que o termo “Educação Financeira” pouco é mencionado nos livros didáticos analisados e que, geralmente, são apresentadas atividades envolvendo dinheiro, principalmente, relacionando-o ao conceito de Operações com Números Decimais.
