Published: December 2024

Maize is a key cereal which contributes to food security with an ever-growing demand in Africa. Therefore, production must be continuously increased to meet demand.  One way to achieve increased production is to use improved varieties and soil amendments to enhance productivity. However, the usage of these inputs is low in sub-Saharan Africa including Ghana. To contribute to the literature on the economics of applying soil amendments, especially from season to season, on-farm trials were undertaken in the coastal savannah and semi-deciduous forest zones of Ghana to demonstrate profitability of adopting improved maize varieties and soil amendments. Partial budgeting techniques were employed to compute net benefits and marginal rates of return resulting from a shift in strategy from farmer practice to the use of improved maize varieties and soil amendments.  Significantly higher yields were obtained with the improved technologies. Maize plants on the sole inorganic fertilizer had significantly (P < 0.05) higher grain yields for all varieties in the two agro-ecological zones in the major season. In the minor season however, grain yields of maize on the combined treatment of inorganic fertilizer + goat manure was significantly (P< 0.05) higher than the rest of the soil amendments for all varieties in both agro-ecological zone. The fertilizer + manure combination yielded the highest net income in both the major and minor seasons. The marginal rates of return for the shift from farmer practice to soil amendments were highest for the fertilizer + manure combination, irrespective of the maize variety and agro-ecological zone. However, the marginal rates of return were minimal for the local maize variety (landrace). In the minor rainy season, net benefit was greater with soil amendment application than with reliance on residual nutrients from the previous season. Thus, residual soil amendment effects alone cannot sustain maize yields and profitability- soil amendments need to be applied continuously.

How Students Think: Efficacy of Surrealism as an Avenue for the Generation and Expression of Thought among Fine Art Students at Kenyatta University, Nairobi, Kenya
Authors: Wango Kamau
Published: December 2024

Surrealism is one of the most fascinating expressive genres of Art and seems to engage students in a very profound manner in the way they perceive themselves, the essence of their individuality, their inherent ideas, emotions and thought processes. In retrospect, it can be viewed from the perspective that it provides a unique opportunity for individual students to express points of view from imageries that emanate from the state of their minds. At the University level, surrealism particularly in drawing, has emerged as a potent visual consolidation of the ability of students to galvanize thoughtfulness that applies to their personal psyche and general outlook towards occurrences and upheavals in their lives. This study sought to examine how students think through surrealist inspirations as a basis of their imaginative work and the extent to which they were able to internalize and embed the basic tenets of surrealism such as distortion of forms, bizarreness of composition or grotesqueness in artistic compositions of their own. The study also sought to determine if indeed these new surrealist compositions carried any social message that was derived from the drawings themselves in order to underscore possible contextual meaning. The final year cohort of students involved in this study had not done any surrealist work before and were introduced to the concept of surrealism and its potential for individual expression through the discussion of selected previous works of past students at the same level. This was deemed useful as they were able to initially internalize the nature of compositions and the possible derivation of surrealist images such as those that manifest in the subconscious mind and other dreamlike dispensations. The students subsequently produced a significant body of work from which pieces were selected for this study using the criteria of visual impact such as profoundness of the surrealism, level of execution using pencil and social message. The analysis of the work was done using the analytical framework provided. The students were engaged in weekly class presentations of their individual work that provided the opportunity for critiquing

Data centers form the cornerstone of modern digital infrastructure, enabling operations from e-commerce and streaming to cloud computing and artificial intelligence. The United States, at the forefront of technology, houses some of the world's most extensive and technologically advanced data centers as a part of its economic and technological framework. This study aimed to explore how different ML techniques can be used for optimizing resource utilization by data centers in the US, focusing on strategies to handle incomplete data and implications for business development. The dataset was retrieved from the GitHub repository, which provided a rich dataset of resource usage metrics and operational data from U.S. data centers. It contained complex and fine-grained information that was necessary to optimize data center performance and deal with incomplete data challenges. A detailed description of the dataset and its key attributes was provided. It was designed for analyzing resource usage patterns in data centers, putting much emphasis on energy efficiency, workload distribution, and operational reliability. This integration of time-series data with sensor readings and performance logs provided a comprehensive overview of resource consumption and environmental conditions in data center operations. This dataset was curated for the engagement of machine learning models in the study and optimization of resource consumption along with the challenges of missing data. Analysis of resource utilization in US data centers was accomplished using the application of various models for machine learning, most notably, Logistic Regression, Random Forest, and Support Vector Machines; Retrospectively, the Random Forest and SVM models seem to be robust and reliable, placing the Random Forest slightly above, given their performance is nearly perfect for training and testing. The application of machine learning techniques holds huge potential for the reformation of resource management in US data centers. These models analyze a pattern in historical data to predict future resource demands, thus allowing optimized resource allotment and minimizing operational costs.

Published: December 2024

Software production has become one of the largest industries in the world economy today, and in terms of key indicators growth rates in recent years it ranks first among all major industries. In conditions of significantly limited availability of software solutions from foreign manufacturers, the supply from domestic software manufacturers is increasing and, as a result, the need for models and methods that allow you to control the software development process, guarantee the cost of development, timing and quality of the result. The uniqueness of the industry does not allow us to count on the success of using traditional project management models in software projects, especially with regard to quantitative assessments of project parameters. The main differences from other types of project management are that the result of a software development project is intangible, the technologies used in the project change rapidly, and the experience of managing a separate software development project is often not applicable to other projects. The fundamental difference between software development projects and other complex projects is related to the features of the key stage – software construction, including coding and debugging, as well as verification, modular and integration testing. Errors made at the software construction stage have the most significant impact on the project result, since they increase the initially planned amount of work. In the known models of the software development process, the amount of work is considered initially specified, and the construction stage is not allocated as a separate circuit determine the stochastic nature of the work amount. The goal of this paper is to build a simulation model of the software construction process, taking into account the dependencies according to which the main parameters of the simulated process change over time. The model provides an opportunity to quantify and optimize project parameters according to a selected criterion (one or more). The model is built within the framework of a system-dynamic approach; the AnyLogic system is used as a simulation environment. The results of simulation experiments are presented to demonstrate the possibility of using the proposed model to study the software construction process or as a mechanism to support managerial decision-making.

Effective functioning of complex socio-economic systems in conditions of uncertainty is impossible without solving many problems of supporting management decision-making. These include improving the quality of manufactured products, reducing production costs, ensuring energy and resource conservation, reducing transportation costs, increasing the reliability of the supply chain, forming a balanced portfolio of projects, and others. Their mathematical formulation in a typical case requires searching for a global extremum of the objective function; in the case of a multi-criteria formulation, it involves convolutions of criteria that must be met taking into account various constraints. In this case, finding an optimal solution is usually not necessary, and a result close to it is considered acceptable. Some of the most popular methods for solving problems in this simplified formulation include stochastic methods, which allow us to obtain a solution in 102–103 times less time than the execution time of algorithms based on exhaustive search. Of particular interest recently has been metaheuristic methods, which are inspired by the cooperative behavior of a decentralized self-organizing colony of living organisms (bees, ants, bacteria, cuckoos, wolves, etc.) to achieve certain goals, usually to satisfy food needs. According to the relatively recently proven “no free lunch” theorem, there is no universal algorithm capable of producing better results regardless of the problem being solved. For this reason, the focus of developers' efforts is shifting toward creating and improving specialized algorithms. This paper aims to establish approaches to constructing methods based on swarm intelligence and fuzzy logic algorithms. Based on their classification and analysis, possible directions for the “development” of swarm intelligence algorithms at various stages of their implementation (initiation of a population, migration of individuals, quality assessment and screening of unpromising solutions) are proposed by introducing elements of fuzziness to increase their efficiency in solving problems of multidimensional optimization of parameters of complex socio-economic systems.

Published: December 2024

Cilj istraživanja je bio ispitati iskustva i potrebe hrvatskih učitelja i nastavnika engleskoga jezika u poučavanju učenika s teškoćama. Rad se usmjerio na različite aspekte poučavanja učenika s teškoćama, kao što su poznavanje i prepoznavanje pojedinih teškoća u učenika, izvori informacija o pojedinim učenicima i njihovim teškoćama, stavovi prema inkluziji, samoprocjena vlastitih kompetencija te poznavanje i uporaba asistivnih tehnologija u nastavi. Online upitnikom pokušalo se doći do što većega broja hrvatskih učitelja i nastavnika engleskoga jezika. Ukupno 90 sudionika odgovorilo je na poziv i ispunilo anketu. Dobiveni rezultati pokazali su da sudionici imaju raznoliko iskustvo u poučavanju učenika s teškoćama. U svojemu su radu najučestalije susretali teškoće poput disgrafije, disleksije i diskalkulije. O teškoćama i potrebama učenika informacije su dobivali od stručne službe. Vlastitu kompetenciju za rad s učenicima s teškoćama većina je sudionika procijenila nedovoljnom iz različitih razloga. Primjerice, mnogi su istaknuli obrazovne programe koji ne posvećuju pozornost ovoj skupini učenika, zatim manjak dostupnih sredstava i resursa potrebnih za izvođenje nastave te još uvijek nedostatna podrška stručne službe. Uzevši u obzir trenutačno stanje u obrazovnoj praksi, hrvatski učitelji i nastavnici engleskoga jezika osvrnuli su se i na pojedina znanja i vještine za koje bi voljeli da su ih posjedovali prije nego su počeli poučavati spomenutu skupinu učenika. Među njima se primarno ističe znanje kako prilagoditi nastavni materijal i testove potrebama učenika s teškoćama, kao i poznavanje različitih teškoća. Rezultati su također pokazali da sudionici nemaju jasno definirane stavove prema inkluziji i svemu što obuhvaća. Kada je riječ o uporabi asistivnih pomagala u nastavi, rezultati su otkrili da iznimno mali broj sudionika poznaje i zaista rabi razne asistivne tehnologije kako bi učenicima s teškoćama potpomogao proces učenja engleskoga jezika.
The Influence of the Ideas of the Bourgeois Revolution in France on Ivan Mažuranić
Authors: Miletić Josip
Published: December 2024

The French Revolution is the culmination of ideological and political confrontations of various groups with the ancien régime. Such groups were inspired primarily by the political philosophy of French enlighteners and encyclopedists, who described the principles of a new constitutional state (Sunajko 2008). The various constitutional models aimed at uniting free people into a community that would satisfy the principle of freedom as a basic and inalienable human right (Rodin 1989). Immediately after its outbreak, the Revolution had a negligible impact in Croatia, noticeably smaller than in the rest of the Habsburg Monarchy, where it was also of minor extent and meant freedom only for the nobility. After almost six decades a favorable revival climate was created in Croatia and a great figure who could valorize this rose on the Croatian political scene. His name was Ivan Mažuranić, writer and future ban commoner. This paper analyses how the ideas of the Revolution influenced Mažuranić’s work. Particular attention is given to his political writings Hrvati Mađarom [Croatians to Hungarians] and Manifest naroda hrvatsko-slavonskog [Manifesto of the Croatian-Slavonian People], published in the revolutionary year of 1848, when Mažuranić was inspired by revolutionary ideas. After that, he turned completely to politics, in a response to the Hungarian hegemonic demands toward the Croats and other non-Hungarian peoples from March and April 1848, whereby the Hungarians referred exclusively to their historical right. Accepting the ideas of the Revolution and the then views of Croatian revivalists, Mažuranić refers to the natural rights as well. He advocates the freedom and equality of Croats and their fundamental historical and natural national rights, including the right to equality of Croatian. Moreover, he advocates the language equality of all peoples in the Monarchy. As a true Christian, he condemns the feudal social order, thus reconciling Christian motives and libertarian ideas.

Delta flood risk analysis: case study from the Neretva River (Croatia)
Authors: Ljubenkov Igor , Kvesić Draženka , Erceg Joško
Published: December 2024

Floods play an important role in deltas, particularly in their geomorphological and ecological processes. Current deltas are exposed to strong anthropogenic influences. In the Neretva River Delta (Croatia), which is located in the Mediterranean, numerous hydrotechnical facilities have been built for flood protection and flow regulation. The level of flood protection has significantly increased compared to natural conditions, because the main cause of flooding in this delta is fluvial flow, but there are still certain risks for material assets and the population. The hydrological regime of the Neretva River is strongly influenced by reservoirs and hydropower plants built upstream of the basin. This study presents a simulation of floods in the Neretva River Delta for various return periods (from 5 to 1000 years) to assess damages and risks. The extent of flooding is classified into three statistical levels: high, medium, and low probability. Floods in this area can cover approximately 110 km2 with a low probability of flooding and material damage of approximately 250 million Euros. The average number of potential human victims would be 0.67 per year, and the potential average annual damage would be 11.63 million Euros, in the Donja Neretva according to the conditions of 2015. Climate change would increase the mentioned risks of floods, the potential number of victims and damage by 31 and 41%, respectively. Based on a multi-criteria analysis, protective measures including the construction of embankments and self-regulating gate were proposed. Their implementation would reduce the average annual potential number of victims and the average material damage by 70% and 83%, respectively. The results of this study should be used to identify critical areas and make decisions to improve the flood protection system in the delta area, as well as to improve water management in the entire basin, which is located in the territory of two countries Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Free-living flatworms, also known as turbellarians, are abundant and key components of aquatic habitats. They play vital roles in food webs and contribute to ecosystem health. However, our understanding of their diversity remains limited, even from comparably well-studied regions of Europe. In this work, we summarise the available records on aquatic turbellarians from Hamburg, Germany, provide new records based on material obtained during exploratory collecting, and place selected species in a molecular phylogenetic context. We sampled four localities in Hamburg, two urban and two suburban, and three other localities in Germany and Switzerland, collecting submerged vegetation, litter, and mosses. Prior to our investigation, Hamburg had documented 26 species of aquatic turbellarians. Our collections have led to the first recorded instances of Stenostomum gotlandense and Castrella alba in Germany, along with four new species for Hamburg: Macrostomum rostratum, Microdalyellia schmidtii, Krumbachia hiemalis, and Polycelis tenuis. Additionally, we provide updated information for five species previously recorded from Hamburg: S. leucops, Prorhynchus stagnalis, Microdalyellia armigera, Gyratrix hermaphroditus, and Planaria torva. The phylogenetic analysis revealed cryptic diversity within S. grande and S. leucops, with S. grande comprising two distinct clades (Brazil and Japan + Germany), and S. leucops consisting of four clades (Sweden + Germany, two from Finland, and Brazil). One of the Finnish clades, S. leucops aquariorum, is both morphologically and molecularly distinct, and we recognise it as a valid species, now S. aquariorum. Future research is needed to further clarify the relationships of the remaining clades of these two species, particularly with material from their type localities in the United States. Among rhabdocoel microturbellarians, we identified cryptic diversity within Castrella truncata (with European and North American lineages) and Microdalyellia armigera (encompassing Finnish and Spanish lineages). We also provided the first molecular evidence supporting the monophyly of Krumbachia following the sequencing of K. hiemalis. Conversely, species of Bothromesostoma were found to be nested within a clade containing species of Mesostoma, leading us to propose synonymising these genera. Overall, our study underscores the rich biodiversity potential of urban and suburban ecosystems for detecting freshwater turbellarian species, while highlighting the need for further research in Hamburg and across Germany to clarify species distributions. Moreover, molecular phylogenetic analyses have uncovered cryptic diversity in several species of catenulids and rhabdocoels, emphasizing the importance of future efforts to describe potential new species.

This study investigated the effects of combining an edible coating (EC) formulation with modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) on the postharvest quality of Coscia pears (Pyrus communis L.). The EC formulation consisted of Aloe vera gel, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), ascorbic acid, and citric acid. Pears were sliced and subjected to three treatments: untreated (CTR), EC with MAP1 (70% CO2 + 30% N2), and EC with MAP2 (30% CO2 + 70% N2). Physicochemical, microbiological, and sensory analyses, as well as assessments of proximate compounds and vitamin content, were conducted over a 9-day storage period at 4 ± 1 ℃ and 90% ± 5% relative humidity. The results showed that combining EC with MAP significantly reduced juice leakage, delayed browning, and preserved firmness compared to untreated samples. Additionally, MAP treatments, particularly MAP2, improved color stability by minimizing both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Sensory evaluations indicated that treated samples had superior visual appearance and texture. Microbiological analyses confirmed that all samples maintained high hygienic standards throughout the storage period. Furthermore, mineral and vitamin content analyses demonstrated that EC and MAP treatments helped retain essential nutrients in the pear slices. In conclusion, the combination of EC and MAP effectively extended the shelf-life and preserved the nutritional quality of fresh-cut Coscia pears, offering substantial benefits for both consumers and the food industry.

In this paper, we study the existence and the limit behavior of normalized solutions for the Chern–Simons–Schrödinger equations with mixed Choquard-type nonlinearities and $ \frac{\alpha }{2}+2 < q < p < +\infty $. Moreover, we also get the relationship between the minimizer and the ground state solution under the Pohožaev–Nehari manifold of the Chern–Simons–Schrödinger equations.
Ensuring Effective Protection of Family Relations in Albania: Cohabitation Regulation and Its Implications

This paper aims to analyze the effective protection of family relations in Albania, specifically the regulation of cohabitation and its implications. The authors’ interest in this topic stems from three main circumstances: a) the constantly increasing trend of couples choosing cohabitation instead of marriage; b) the inadequacy of the existing Albanian legal framework to regulate such family relations (the contract regulating the cohabitation in Albania seems to have limited practical use); c) Albania's aspiration for the accession to the EU requires a more specific regulation in this regard, in compliance with the EU legal framework. For these reasons, it is recommended that Albania should regulate cohabitation for registered partnerships through specific and detailed legislation, just like some EU countries have already done.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of artificial intelligence (AI) and data-driven solutions in enabling rapid response and decision-making support. To contain the pandemic, medical professionals must collaborate with experts in other fields, such as data scientists, to analyze medical data, including electronic health records (EHR), and to find solutions as fast as possible. However, within a sensitive industry such as healthcare, significant challenges related to data access persist due to privacy concerns and regulations. To solve these challenges, federated learning (FL) provides a novel approach to pandemic response by enabling the use of decentralized private data while maintaining data privacy. This paper provides an overview of FL and explores its application in healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also introduces FLPanGuard, a conceptual framework that focuses on detecting and fighting a pandemic using FL and other technologies to enhance data collection and security. This framework provides a global response to pandemics starting in the pre-pandemic phase by predicting potential outbreaks using social media content and EHR. It is also expanding into the pandemic phase by assisting medical professionals in diagnosis and treatment. Finally, we explore the limitations of FL to highlight areas where further research is required.

Lead, a vital but dangerous industrial metal, poses serious health risks. Exposure, especially in mining and industrial areas, has led to alarming statistics; in Mexico, 21.8% of children have elevated blood lead levels, while in Cuba, 58% of exposed workers exhibit signs of poisoning. In Huacho, Peru, 71.4% of the population has high levels of lead, attributable to the mining industry. Globally, lead is estimated to contribute to 0.6% of the disease burden and cause approximately 143,000 deaths annually, with more than 600,000 children under the age of five dying from it. Traditional methods are expensive and time-consuming. That is why a low-cost portable device is proposed, developed with technology such as Matlab and Arduino, which uses anodic voltammetry to measure blood lead concentrations. Although requiring improvements, this device has the potential to significantly improve the monitoring and prevention of lead-related diseases, providing accurate and rapid results to protect public health where the reading of the presence of lead in the blood was achieved.
