Volatility and the Gains From Trade
Authors: Allen Treb , Atkin David
Published: October 2022

Trade liberalization changes the volatility of returns by reducing the negative correlation between local prices and productivity shocks. In this paper, we explore these second‐moment effects of trade. Using forty years of agricultural micro‐data from India, we show that falling trade costs due to expansions of the Indian highway network reduced the responsiveness of local prices to local yields but increased the responsiveness of local prices to yields elsewhere. In response, farmers shifted their production toward crops with less volatile yields, especially so for those with poor access to risk mitigating technologies such as banks. We then characterize how volatility affects farmers' crop allocation using a portfolio choice framework where returns are determined in general equilibrium by a many‐location, many‐good Ricardian trade model with flexible trade costs. Finally, we structurally estimate the model—recovering farmers' risk‐return preferences from the gradient of the mean‐variance frontier at their observed crop choices—to quantify the second‐moment effects of trade. The simultaneous expansion of both the highway and rural bank networks increased the mean and the variance of farmer real income, with the first‐moment effect dominating such that expected welfare rose 4.4%. But had rural bank access remained unchanged, welfare gains would have been only half as great, as risk mitigating technologies allowed farmers to take advantage of higher‐risk higher‐return allocations.
Full Information Equivalence in Large Elections
Authors: Barelli Paulo , Bhattacharya Sourav , Siga Lucas
Published: October 2022

We study the problem of aggregating private information in elections with two or more alternatives for a large family of scoring rules. We introduce a feasibility condition, the
linear refinement condition, that characterizes when information can be aggregated asymptotically as the electorate grows large: there must exist a utility function, linear in distributions over signals, sharing the same top alternative as the primitive utility function. Our results complement the existing work where strong assumptions are imposed on the environment, and caution against potential false positives when too much structure is imposed.
A General Framework for Robust Contracting Models
Authors: Walton Daniel , Carroll Gabriel
Published: October 2022

We study a class of models of moral hazard in which a principal contracts with a counterparty, which may have its own internal organizational structure. The principal has non‐Bayesian uncertainty as to what actions might be taken in response to the contract, and wishes to maximize her worst‐case payoff. We identify conditions on the counterparty's possible responses to any given contract that imply that a linear contract solves this maxmin problem. In conjunction with a
Richness property motivated by much previous literature, we identify a
Responsiveness property that is sufficient—and, in an appropriate sense, also necessary—to ensure that linear contracts are optimal. We illustrate by contrasting several possible models of contracting in hierarchies. The analysis demonstrates how one can distill key features of contracting models that allow their findings to be carried beyond the bilateral setting.
Requiem, d’Antonio Tabucchi ou l’aventure portugaise d’un Italien
Authors: López Montagut Aina
Published: October 2022

L’alloglossie peut s’expliquer de différentes façons : que ce soit pour des raisons politiques, socio-culturelles, affectives ou d’autres encore, les auteurs concernés justifient tant bien que mal leurs choix linguistiques. Qu’ils se contentent d’écrire dans la langue autre, ou qu’ils décident de créer un pont littéraire entre deux systèmes linguistiques, les écrits qu’ils produisent traduisent la volonté et parfois même la preuve d’une acquisition linguistique, ainsi qu’une grande intercompréhension entre les langues utilisées.Nous nous intéresserons ici au cas de l’auteur italien Antonio Tabucchi, et tout particulièrement au roman Requiem (1991), écrit en portugais. Cet exemple est d’autant plus intéressant que l’auteur a refusé de s’autotraduire en italien, laissant ainsi la traduction à un autre locuteur de sa langue maternelle. Tabucchi justifie très clairement le pourquoi de ce choix de langue d’écriture, qui s’est imposé à lui comme une évidence.

Published: October 2022

Cet article explique comment la culture politique catalane du premier tiers du XXe siècle a été marquée non seulement par la confrontation entre catalanistes et espagnols, bourgeois et prolétaires et par la droite et la gauche, mais aussi par une corporatisation progressive de la vie sociale et économique de la Catalogne, conséquence des changements structurels imposés par la croissance urbaine à Barcelone et l’industrialisation.
Explainable Learning Machines for Securing the IoMT Networks
Authors: Khan Izhar Ahmed , Pi Dechang
Published: October 2022

The necessity to improve modern medical networks such as internet of medical things (IoMT) to monitor patients and their health condition has raised due to the effects of population ageing, increasing number of patients, deficiency of treatment facilities, and spread of widespread diseases. However, resisting cyber-attacks is a challenging concern for researchers. This chapter proposes an explainable learning machines-based security framework for detecting cyber-attacks against IoMT networks in real-time. The proposed model is based on the phenomenon of extreme learning machines to detect multiple kinds of cyber-space attacks carried against IoMT systems. The authors also explain the detection decisions to expand trust management in the employed machine learning algorithm and facilitate security professionals to comprehend the undiscovered data evidence and causal inference. Experiments show the effectiveness of the proposed approach signifying its utility as a workable security framework in contemporary networks of IoMT-based healthcare systems.

Authors: Halim Hala W.A. , Abd Elaziz Shimaa Y. , Fathy Doaa S.A.
Published: October 2022

Background and aim

Pregnant women are more prone to psychological distress, which can have a deleterious effect on the mother and the fetus. coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is a new and dangerous event with limited data available that may adversely affect the mental health of pregnant women. So, the aim of this study was to assess the psychosocial effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on pregnant women, pregnant women’s perceptions toward COVID-19 epidemiology, and antenatal care service utilization during the pandemic.

Patients and methods

This cross-sectional study was carried out in the interval from February 2021 to September 2021 and included 340 Egyptian pregnant women with singleton pregnancy during the COVID-19 pandemic. A structured self-administered online questionnaire was completed by the participants. The validated 21-item Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 was used.

Results

The study revealed a high prevalence of stress (61.5%), anxiety (73%), and depression (68.5%) among pregnant women. Chronic diseases, irregular antenatal care, and previous COVID-19 infection of family members were all significant predictors of anxiety and depression. In contrast, prior infection of the pregnant women with COVID-19 in the current pregnancy was a significant predictor for stress, anxiety, and depression.

Conclusion

There was a high prevalence of anxiety, depression, and stress among Egyptian pregnant women during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. Psychosocial support is required, in addition to raising pregnant women’s awareness regarding COVID-19 infection.
Achievement of a 136-day delayed-interval delivery of a second twin with minimum intervention
Authors: Nassef Aziza H. , Ahmed Doaa , Abd Elwahab Medhat
Published: October 2022

The rate of multiple pregnancies in the past three decades has increased dramatically. Twin pregnancies have a higher risk of pregnancy loss owing to premature birth. Although the premature delivery of the first twin is usually followed by spontaneous birth of the second twin, there are ways to delay the delivery of the second twin to enhance survival and neonatal outcomes. However, there is insufficient evidence to support the role of any interventions such as cerclage, hospitalization, tocolytics, and/or antibiotics. As a result, the management of delayed interval for the delivery of the second twin varies depending on each case. The purpose of this study was to report the obstetric components of a successful delayed-interval delivery, with an emphasis on the current conflicts around the active management of the delayed interval delivery of the second twin. A case of a 40-year-old, G5P4, woman who had three cesarean sections is presented. She got pregnant with a dichorionic diamniotic twin. At 17 weeks of gestation, she developed sudden severe lower abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, and spontaneous expulsion of the first fetus weighing 179 g. After delivery of the first twin, the vaginal bleeding became minimal, and the cervix was reconstituted soon, so cervical cerclage was not offered. The umbilical cord of the first fetus was cut at the level of the external cervical os, and the placenta was retained. She received intravenous fluids, anti-D prophylaxis, paracetamol, and antibiotics. The patient was keen to continue with the pregnancy and was informed about the risks and benefits. The management was mainly an outpatient basis after an initial short hospital stay of 6 days before being discharged (upon her request); during the follow-up, she did not develop any clinical manifestations of maternal infection. She was subjected to ANC at the outpatient clinic every 2 weeks, where vaginal culture, complete blood count, prothrombin time, and C-reactive protein levels and serial ultrasonography were checked consistently. The fetus showed adequate growth. After 136 days, she delivered by elective cesarean section a male baby weighing 2850 g at 37 weeks of gestation with good recovery. In certain situations, delayed delivery of the second twin of diamniotic dichorionic twin pregnancy may be a safe, simple with less interventions, and effective option to improve pregnancy outcome.

Published: October 2022

Background:

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an inherited disorder characterized by significantly elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and is usually diagnosed after the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular event.

Aim:

The aim of this study was to evaluate FH existence, increase awareness of this disorder, and highlight the importance of early treatment which leads to a reduction of premature cardiovascular events and death.

Methods:

The research had a cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytical character, and included 6881 (n = 6881) patients who were hospitalized in the Clinic for Heart, Blood Vessel and Rheumatic Diseases, Clinical Center University of Sarajevo, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the period from January 2019 to January 2021. LDL values were analyzed, and all patients with LDL ≥4 mmol/L were included in the study. The Dutch Lipid Score was calculated for all patients, and the findings of invasive coronary angiography were taken into account in those patients for whom it was performed.

Results:

From 6881 patients, 74 patients had LDL ≥4 mmol/L. Possible FH (score: 3–5) was found in 25 patients, probable FH (score: 6–8) in 2 patients, while the diagnosis of definite FH was not made in any patient. A ST-elevation myocardial infarction was an indication for hospitalization in 44.60% (n = 33), hypertension in 14.87% (n = 11), and angina pectoris in 14.87% (n = 11) of patients. Patients under the age of 65 had higher Dutch Lipid Score compared to the patients above the age of 65, regardless of male or female. Correlational analysis indicated a significant positive relationship between Dutch Lipid Score and level of cholesterol (r =0.385; P < 0.01) and LDL (r = 0.401; P < 0.001). Statistically significant predictors in the explanation of FH were age (β = −0.45; P < 0.001) and LDL (β = 0.52; P < 0.001).

Conclusion:

LDL values and age are the main determinants of the FH existence, and the effect on LDL values should be imperative in clinical practice.

Published: October 2022

This study proposes the robust sensor-less advanced frequency control (robust H∞ control) of the system of wind turbine based on a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG), the power exchange between the machine stator and the network is achieved by applying the rotor of DFIG via a bidirectional converter. The purpose of the control is to regulate the stator active and reactive power produced by the DFIG using a robust H∞ controller. The Model reference and adaptive system (MRAS-Observer) uses the error between the actual and estimated values ​​(voltage/current) to construct the observed mechanical parameters (speed and position) value, this technique uses two separate models: the first is the reference model, the second is the adjustable mode. The error between these models is used by the adaptive mechanism. The adjustment mechanism is mostly a PI controller, to improve the performance and robustness of the classical MRAS observer, we replace the classical PI controller with a robust H∞ controller. The results simulations confirm the robustness of the sensorless robust H∞ control using the H∞-MRAS observer compared to conventional MRAS, which improves the quality and quantity of generated power.

Published: October 2022

Consumer interest in innovative wines has increased in recent years in Romania, in correlation with the development of the wine sector. Nowadays, the winemaking technique proposed by Dom Perignon (blanc de noirs) with applicability to sparkling wines is increasingly used to obtain still wines. This research aimed to identify the most suitable technology for obtaining white wines from Fetească neagră and Busuioacă de Bohotin grapes. The resulting wines were analysed from physical chemical and chromatic points of view, and their sensory properties and volatile compounds content were also registered. The obtained samples had characteristics usually found in wines obtained from white grape varieties. Although frequently used in the production of base wine for sparkling wines, this technique can give original results in obtaining still wines as well. The use of activated carbon has led to the production of wines with a higher commercial value (improved colour characteristics). Given that red wines are significantly less consumed compared to white ones, this technique allows the use of black grape varieties and the production of innovative white wines.

TELEWORKING AS A BUSINESS SUSTAINABILITY AND CONTINUITY STRATEGY: AN ASSESSMENT OF THE ZIMBABWEAN TELECOMMUNICATIONS SECTOR UNDER COVID-19
Authors: Mhlophe Khethiwe , Chinjova Fainos
Published: October 2022

The Covid-19 pandemic has seen unprecedented changes to the way people conduct business and work whilst striving to reduce downtime and maintain or even increase productivity (Belzunegui- Eraso and Erro-Garcés, 2020). Long lockdown periods and the need to meet World Health Organisation (WHO) regulations for social distancing have necessitated that organisations instruct their employees to telecommute or work remotely from home in an effort to maintain business sustainability and continuity (OECD, 2020). This research explored how Zimbabwean telecommunications companies implemented teleworking as a business sustainability and continuity strategy in the Covid-19 pandemic environment. This study was qualitative in nature, employing a phenomenology philosophy. Thirty knowledgeable telecommunications managers and business leaders were invited to complete a detailed online questionnaire that helped draw conclusions to the objectives. Based on these questionnaires and some secondary data review, this study determined that teleworking was widely adopted by 97% of the telecommunications sector during the Covid-19 pandemic era. The implementation of telework and BCM processes was the required antidote to the decrease in productivity and threats to job security and business continuity presented by lockdowns. Teleworking guaranteed retention of employees, real estate and administrative cost savings, continued business operations and service delivery. In addition, telework helped curb the potential spread of the virus amongst employees and customers who would have congregated at the work place. Inconsistent supply of electricity, inadequate communication and collaboration tools and platforms as well as lack of ergonomic chairs and desks were the major factors indicated to be deterring effective and productive telework. The study also revealed that there was an increased demand for telecommunications products and services during the pandemic particularly on lock down periods. This was confirmed by POTRAZ (2021) in their first quarter abridged postal and telecommunications sector performance report. Customers had a new need for reliable internet connections to use when working from home, learning online and for entertainment. The businesses made efforts to ensure that their services were adhering to availability, reliability and dependability standards. There is a great need for the establishment of standards and policies to govern telework and BCM process and policy implementation in telecommunications companies for successful business continuity and sustainability.

Authors: Munyao Carol Munini , Kiptoo Kipkorir K G , Simiyu Gelas Muse
Published: October 2022

Purpose: The use of biomass fuels poses great threats to environmental degradation and public health risk accounting for 32% of the total attributable burden of diseases due to indoor air pollution (IAP) in especially Africa. Heavy reliance on biomass fuels for household energy in Kenya makes the country more vulnerable with 90% of the rural population relying on biomass fuels for domestic purposes. The objective of this study was to assess cooking fuel types and efficiency of improved biomass stoves in fuel consumption in Western, Kenya.

Methodology: The data were collected through continuous real-time monitoring of kitchen Particulate Matter and Carbon II Oxide concentration for a period of 24 hours using UCB-PATS and CO monitors, questionnaires and time activity budgets. The total target population was 383 households and 204 households were selected as the sample size for HH survey. The sample size was determined using sample size algorithm by Boyd et al. (2014) where a sample size is determined by the sample population size. Selection of households for indoor air monitoring was done through quasi system where there was a predefined criterion from survey data. Tables and means were used to present results.

Findings: The study found that Hazard quotients (HQ) for both long-term and short-term PM exposure using all stoves were all above 1 implying that health risk is real. During 24-hour cooking duration, three-stone stove using crop residues produced 145.8 times higher PM2.5 compared to RfD (Reference Dose) value while Cheprocket produced 26.4 times higher than PM2.5 RfD. People using solid biomass fuels are likely to experience headaches and running nose by the end of 24-hour period as a result of CO exposure when mud rocket stove, three stone stove and Cheprocket stoves were used. However cooks who use Chepkube stoves are not likely to experience any adverse health effects from CO exposures since the HQs were less than 1 using both wood and crop residues as fuel. The study concluded that, improved biomass stoves provided an overall reduction in pollutant concentration compared to three-stone fire but the local innovation Chepkube stove that has been classified as ungraded stove had the highest pollutant reduction. There is no health risk associated with exposure to peak CO within the 1-hour duration from all biomass stoves monitored in the study area.

Recommendation: The study recommended that user education is necessary on kitchen practices to reduce overall exposure from improved stove utilization.

Сондай-ақ бір тілде бар сөздердің онымен туыс басқа тілдерде ұшырасуы – заңды құбылыс, мұның түп-тамырын, негізгі себебін ортақ түркілік сөздік қордан іздегеніміз жөн. Бұл тұрғыдан келгенде, күллі түркі жұртшылығына ортақ мұра саналатын орта ғасырларда жарық көрген ескерткіштер материалына жүгінудің берері мол. Осымен байланысты тарихи лексикологияның маңызды міндетінің бірі – өткен дәуірлерден мирас болып қалған жазба ескерткіштер тілін лексика-семантикалық тұрғыдан зерттеу. Бұл мәселе этностың қыпшақ халықтарының құрамында болған кезіндегі, әсіресе, қазақ болып қалыптасқанға, яғни ұлттыққа дейінгі кезеңдегі мұралар тіліне қатысты алғанда өткірлене түседі. Мақалада қазақ тіліндегі туыстық атаулар семантикасы орта ғасырлардағы жазба мұра «Тәржүмандағы» нұсқаларымен және қазіргі түркі тілдері материалымен салыстырыла қарастырылған. Олардың пайда болуы, қалыптасуы мен дамуына ықпал еткен лингвистикалық және экстралингвистикалық факторларды анықтау көзделген. Авторлар түркі тілдеріне қатысты лексикографиялық дереккөздердегі туыстық атаулардың семантикалық әлеуеті мен мағыналық шеңберін анықтауда танымдық ақпаратқа назар аударған. Түсіндірме сөздіктегі атаулар мағынасы мен олардың күнделікті қарым-қатынас тіліндегі қолданыс ерекшеліктерін зерделеген. "

Who Owes Whom? Deconstructing Debt Fetishism
Authors: Sorg Christoph
Published: October 2022

Chapter 7 presents distinct framing practices and repertoires of knowledge
production by the three cases. In doing so, it discusses how hegemonic
debt politics create moral power for the creditors (“one has to pay one’s
debt”) and illustrates movement strategies to subvert this by changing
the moral gaze from supposedly irresponsible debtor behavior towards
predatory creditor practices and unfair systemic-structural dynamics.

Authors: Palaniappan Janaki Raman
Published: October 2022

Internet hacking has become common now a days and is increasing day by day. It is a high time to safeguard our data. There are several cryptographic methods and algorithms that are evolved and already exist. How about additional protection makes us stress free? In this paper, I present a unique design of cryptographic algorithm which is specifically designed for Auditory cryptography and visual cryptography to make the encryption and decryption technique stronger. The purpose is to make it very difficult to decode the file when an unauthorized user accesses the data. This algorithm is a combination of multiple techniques such as Ant Algorithm, Logical Gates Technique, Dual authorization PINs, Indexed Arrays. Combination of these techniques makes the algorithm unique and strong to secure the data. This research was implemented on audio files, images and video files. The study of the result shows effective way of masking the data as it is hard to decode without PINs. Also, performance of the algorithm is efficient during encryption and decryption process.
Survey of United States Related Domains: Secure Network Protocol Analysis
Authors: Dunbar DeJean , Hill Patrick , Lin Yu-Ju
Published: October 2022

Over time, the HTTP Protocol has undergone significant evolution. HTTP was the internet's foundation for data communication. When network security threats became prevalent, HTTPS became a widely accepted technology for assisting in a domain defense. HTTPS supported two security protocols: secure socket layer (SSL) and transport layer security (TLS). Additionally, the HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) protocol was included to strengthen the HTTPS protocol. Numerous cyber-attacks occurred in the United States, and many of these attacks could have been avoided simply by implementing domains with the most up-to-date HTTP security mechanisms. This study seeks to accomplish two objectives: 1. Determine the degree to which US-related domains are configured optimally for HTTP security protocol setup; 2. Create a generic scoring system for a domain's network security based on the following factors: SSL version, TLS version, and presence of HSTS to easily determine where a domain stands. We found through our analysis and scoring system incorporation that US-related domains showed a positive trend for secure network protocol setup, but there is still room for improvement. In order to safeguard unwanted cyber-attacks, current HTTPS domains need to be extensively investigated to identify if they possess lower version protocol support. Due to the infrequent occurrence of HSTS in the evaluated domains, the computer science community necessitates further HSTS education.
Effect of Sociability and Curiosity of Senior Developers in Building Agile Scrum Team Competency
Authors: Kalluri Ravi
Published: October 2022

This paper aims to investigate the mechanisms that contribute to propagation of competence in an Agile Scrum team. This study seeks to challenge the traditional view of bounded rationality (BR). An Agile Scrum team (Team) is expected to build problem solving competence quickly as the expected ramp up time continues to shrink. But the team has a mixture of expertise, competence and sociability levels that affect out-of-the-box performance. The objective is to expand BR into the social realm and see how teams can self-organize and reconfigure to allow effective problem solving. Studies have shown that agent-based computational simulation is an appropriate technique to explore this point from a theoretical perspective. (Fioretti, 2013) (Secchi, 2015). The first step is to define the problem, discuss how senior team members exhibit high curiosity and apply sociability and cognitive resources to develop overall team competence. This dynamic is modeled and simulated in NetLogoR and the results are analyzed. Finally, some key findings are presented and discussed.

Authors: Dash Bibhu , Ansari Meraj Farheen , Sharma Pawankumar , Ali Azad
Published: October 2022

Internet usage has increased quickly, particularly in the previous decade. With the widespread use of the internet, cybercrime is growing at an alarming rate in our daily lives. However, with the growth of artificial intelligence (AI), businesses are concentrating more on preventing cybercrime. AI is becoming an essential component of every business, affecting individuals worldwide. Cybercrime is one of the most prominent domains where AI has begun demonstrating valuable inputs. As a result, AI is being deployed as the first line of defense in most firms' systems. Because AI can detect new assaults faster than humans, it is the best alternative for constructing better protection against cybercrime. AI technologies also offer more significant potential in the development of such technology. This paper discusses recent cyber intrusions and how the AI-enabled industry is preparing to defend itself in the long run.

An evaluation on the impact of new capital requirements introduced under the Basel III regulations on banks' lending rates and loan growth : a case study of the eThekwini region and surrounding areas
Authors:   , Moodley Kresénta
Published: October 2022

The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of new capital requirements introduced under the Basel III regulations on banks’ lending rates and loan growth. It further analyses how the regulation impacts positively and negatively on the banks’ lending rate. The study was conducted to discover how the Basel III framework affects the banking industry’s loan growth in KwaZulu-Natal. The rationale for this study was based on the information that this financial regulation has led to a substantial decrease in the loan growth of the banking sector. Little research, if any, has been done on this particular topic. Therefore, there was a need to conduct research of this magnitude in order to eliminate the issues related to new capital requirements. A qualitative approach was followed as the dissertation that required this method. The theme of this study focused on credit, interest rates and the cost of credit within the banking industry while the actual research was conducted amongst professionals with 15 to 20 years of experience within the banking industry. Interviews were conducted as part of attempts to gather data in studying the phenomenon. The objective of this study is to identify the difficulties faced by the bank in order to assist in granting a client with a credit facility being in line with the Basel III accord requirements. A further objective is to establish how the Basel III accord has affected the loan growth over the past three to five years in the banking industry and to investigate how the increased cost of credit due to the implementation of the Basel III accord affected the banks and its consumers over the past three to five years. Semi-structured interviews with open ended questions were used to gather data. Due to the type of professionals being interviewed namely; credit managers, business credit managers as well as credit analysts, a total of 10 interviews were conducted. The interviews were recorded and transferred verbatim. The study evaluated the impact that the new Basel III regulation requirements have on the loan growth within the financial industry. Major findings of the research were that banks have become stricter with credit lending; the loan growth has decreased over the past five years, after the Basel III Accord. Due to this being a government regulation, banks have now shifted their focus on promoting non-credit products to increase profitability. This research contributes to the body of knowledge in the financial field of study and helps to bridge the gap on the topic. It is hoped that future research on banking scoring models, Basel III and bank employees’ rapport, as well as on interest rates trends examination would be highlighted as recommended in this study.
The Effect of Food Industry on Human Health

Published: October 2022

We are living in a world where capital comes before anything else, which is called Capitalism. I agree that money has a huge role in our lives, but we all should be aware of our actions and the footprint we live on earth. We might not face the consequences on a daily basis, however if we continue putting unhealthy, unqualified food in our body, we will all suffer from severe diseases in a few decades and our next generation will have to live on an unsustainable planet that we have left for them. Throughout all these years of heavy marketing humanity started to believe that whatever we see on an advertisement is what we should be doing, eating or using. Which clearly means we have no filter towards what society tries to put on our mind and how big corporations use our lives to run their business successfully. The problem is not only the system that is trying to control our life, it’s also how we are not educated enough to make our own choices. When I say educated, I mean all the aspects of education, including emotional, physical and academic education. To be able to distinguish what is good and what is not for our health starts from opening our mind to different resources except social media and television. There is tons of evidence and indexes of effect on human health. If we all just try to have a different state of mind about food and understand how essential nutrition is in our body, everybody will live a long happy life. Since no one wants to spend the rest of their retirement going to the hospital and taking medicine just because the choices you made in your early years were not wise. Surely, nothing is perfect in this world, nevertheless I tried my best to make as much effort into the research and try to provide a comprehensive academic paper focused on the International economy and human health.

Authors: Tutuba Nicholaus Bhikolimana , Kapinga Consolatha
Published: October 2022

Why is the beekeeping sector in Tanzania less productive? The average annual productivity of a bee colony is estimated to be 15 kgs and 2 kgs of honey and wax respectively. But the condition is Tanzania scandalous: Why is it the case? The study analyses the potential challenges to the underperformance of bee colonies in Tanzania. This study used an experimental design, and qualitative approach to analyze the productivity of bee colonies in Tanzania. The sample was selected through a purposive approach and data were collected through interviews and observation. The Current-Tree-Reality of the Thinking Process techniques was used to identify constraints that limit the productivity of the beekeeping sector in Tanzania. Size of the colony, bee species, availability of fodder, technology, knowledge and skills, and post-harvest losses were constantly mentioned as underlying factors limiting productivity in the beekeeping sector. Other factors include occupancy rate, human activities like farming/agriculture, bee diseases, and pests and predators. We concluded that the size of the colony, availability of fodder, and bee species are the limiting factors for colony productivity in Tanzania. A study on bee breeding, colony selection, and productive bee species is suggested. The study provides empirical evidence and theoretical understanding of beekeeping, colony productivity, and theory of constraints to researchers, beekeepers, and policymakers.
