Causal Relationship Between Maize Production and Its Price in Zambia
Authors: Nakamba Brenda , Mzimbiri Rehema , Msokwe David
Published: March 2024

In Zambia, changes in food prices specifically maize prices have received much of the attention of late because of its effect on national food security, farming systems, and political-economic conditions of the country. Measures have been taken in order to prevent future food crises and to achieve zero hunger by 2030 as per Sustainable Development Goal number 2 targets 2.4 and 2.c. The national strategies to stabilise the price and influence productivity depend on availability of data from different researchers. Most studies on maize production in Zambia have focused on climatic and demographic factors with insufficient efforts taken in addressing price changes on maize production. The article examined the consequences of changing price from 1990 to 2021 of maize on maize production in Zambia. It used a cross sectional research design to analyse secondary data from Zambia Statistics Agency and Food Agriculture Organization. The use of Granger causality test (time series) during analysis revealed unidirectional causation between price and production. This implies that price of maize is the Granger cause of maize production (p-value = 0.0010). The increase of price of maize influences maize productivity among peasants. The policy implication stemming from this study is that since price influences maize production, controlling maize production without stabilizing price levels cannot be enough to boost the agricultural economy and alleviate poverty. The government needs to control maize prices to meet the domestic self-sufficient and affordable prices.

EEG signal ANFIS classification for motor imagery for different joints of the same limb
Authors: Satam Ihab
Published: March 2024

Introduction: The experimental area of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) is expanding to include movement actions, which play a crucial part in deciphering cognitive processes. Without the need for any kind of exterior stimulation, motor imagining (MI) can be used as a powerful model for braincomputer interfaces (BCIs). A natural method of operating exterior devices is to imagine moving various joints in the same arm. These envisioned motions have similar spatial images in the motor brain, making it difficult to differentiate MI of various joints of the same leg based on EEG data. Method: A pre-existing data collection of 25 participants was utilized in this study. The participants visualized using their right limbs to carry out three different activities: visualize yourself manipulating your right hand, visualize bending your right arm, and close your eyes while you relax. To assign categories to these impulses, we turned to the adaptive neuro-fuzzy reasoning system. Results: The average level of accuracy was 90%. Conclusion: The findings demonstrate that this technique is crucial for correctly categorizing EEG data. The data collection used in this investigation consists of EEG measurements of the same limb used in muscular imaging. The new categorization method will be applied to these signals to draw conclusions.

Authors: Ivanović Stefan , Marković Marko , Stanišić Sava , Živanović Kristina , Kolašinac Dimitrije
Published: March 2024

Introduction/purpose: All data exchanged over the Internet as well as other computer networks should be considered exposed to various types of security threats. In light of this, the transmission of voice over applications that do not use any type of crypto-protection allows anyone to discern the content of communication. Since voice transmission requires as little delay as possible, various protocols are used to enable crypto protected real-time communication. This paper presents one solution in a desktop application variant. Methods: The essence in voice exchange systems as well as in other systems where real-time communication is necessary is the establishment of a crypto-protected session which is a virtual secure channel for communication to which only the communicating parties have access. Voice sessions in the application are established with the SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) protocol. The sessions are further protected using the ZRTP (Zimmerman Real-time Transport Protocol) protocol. FusionPBX was used as the SIP server (registrar) for testing purpouses. The application is developed in C++ language using the Qt framework. Results: The final version of the application demostrates that ZRTP and SIP protocols are well suited for establishing crypto protected voice communications with low delay. Conclusion: This solution provides cryptographic functions for data secrecy and the management of cryptographic keys. Improving the solution with digital signatures and certificates will result in additional cryptographic functions: data integrity and personal identification. With this improvement, this solution will be able to withstand modern security threats with low delay.

Electrochemical analysis of the effect of copper tailings on mortars
Authors: Sepulveda-Vasquez Carlos , Carrasco-Astudillo Nicolas , Munoz Lisa , Guerra Carolina , Sancy Mamie
Published: March 2024

The motivation of this study is to promote sustainability in the construction and mining industries from a research perspective, considering the CO2 emissions associated with cement production and the use of mining waste materials, such as copper tailings, as supplementary cementitious materials. In this study, copper tailings partially replaced cement as received between 0 to 50 wt.%. Mortar and reinforced mortar samples were manufactured for mechanical and corrosion analysis. The mechanical tests revealed that the maximum compressive and flexion strengths were maintained by adding copper tailings, which were delayed for a longer exposure time, possibly due to the hydration reaction. Morphological analysis revealed that the partial cement replacement increased the porosity in the mortar at earlier stages, which was similar for longer exposure time. In addition, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy allowed in-situ monitoring of the mortar\'s evolution and mortar/steel interface. The impedance response showed that partial cement replacement with 15 wt. % of copper tailings as received can improve steel passivation after prolonged exposure. Therefore, cement replacements can be a suitable solution to produce reinforced mortars.

Authors: Zaman Md I. , Patel L. C.
Published: March 2024

Cyantraniliprole, Chlorantraniliprole, Emamectin benzoate, Spinosad, Flubendiamide, Teflubenzuron, Novaluron+Indoxacarb, Broflanilide, Chlorafenapyr and Azadirachtin are some important registered insecticides against S. frugiperda in corn. Bioagents such as entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) and lady beetles have also role to reduce its population. Integration of bioagents with chemical insecticides is current need for sustaianable pest management. So, the present evaluation was conducted at laboratory condition to knowhow the fate of EPNs, Steinernema sp. and coccinelid (Cheilomenes sexmaculata) after their exposure with above mentioned insecticides used for S. frugiperda. Lab research was conducted during spring (2021) at BCKV, Burdwan campus (West Bengal). EPNs was multiplied on larva of Corcyra cephalonica. Cheilonemes sexmaculata (grubs and pupa) was collected from field. Ten novel insecticides recommended for S. frugiperda were evaluated against the mentioned bioagents. Corected mortality data of EPNs and coccinelid was analyzed statistically and accordingly insecticides were grouped into different toxicity class. Except Emamectin benzoate, all the chemicals were proved to be safe to Steinernema sp. E. benzoate caused 100 % reduction to insect infectivity by EPN, followed by Chlorafenapyr (80 %). Slightly harmful effect for grubs (C. sexmaculata) was noted in Cyantraniliprole and Emamectin benzoate and for pupa in emamectin benzoate and Novaluron + Indoxacarb. Otherwise all others were harmless both for grubs and pupal stage of C. sexmaculata. These pieces of information might be practical in decision making for IPM of S. frugiperda.

Published: March 2024

Does better corruption controls as institutional quality measure affect commercialization of innovation? Institutional quality from corruption control perspective is very important to be considered for making strong strategic policies favorable for innovation commercialization. Using panel data consists of 15-year time span (2001-2015) covering 143 countries, initial regression estimates with robust check along with fixed effects presents that better corruption controls are positively effective in promoting innovation commercialization in the country which is further verified by using GMM estimates. Our preferred specifications imply that corruption effects on innovation commercialization is worse in Middle East and North American (MENA) regions which is around negative 65% especially in upper middle income and Catholic countries. Apart from the exports of high-tech products, other demand and supply side contributors of innovation commercialization are also important to account for. While improving the research and development aspects, the policy makers must also have to plan strategically for improving these channels which may help in improving the institutional quality in the country including investment in improving the grass root literacy levels, flexible facilities for entrepreneurial incubators, and optimal utilization of population growth with urbanization measures in the country.

Authors: Linda Wahyuni Putri
Published: March 2024

Postpartum stress conditions are experienced by most women. Mothers who are actively working tend to have a greater risk of Postpartum Depression than mothers who do not work. This is due to the dual roles of raising children, managing the household, and completing work matters. This study aimed to determine husbands' support for the incidence of Postpartum Depression in working women in Indonesia. This study used a literature review strategy that was reviewed from several sources such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar with a selection of articles published from 2017 to 2023. Searches in the database were carried out using keywords such as “Postpartum Depression”, “Working Women and Postpartum Depression”, and “Husband’s Role and Postpartum Depression”. The literature review results show that the main factor influencing the incidence of Postpartum Depression in Working Women is the lack of a husband's role. Based on the literature review, it can be concluded that family support, especially husbands, is needed to minimize Postpartum Depression in Working Women. It is hoped that husbands will support and help working women in taking care of their children so that Postpartum Depression does not occur.

Authors: Kevin Kendall
Published: March 2024

Many UK inhabitants now adopt careers working in both university and manufacturing sectors. In a typical engineering career, a young student may now start at university, spend time in factories, often in research and development, and then return to university in later life to teach evolving innovation principles of industry. It is clear to such people that universities are expanding rapidly whereas manufacturing has declined and reached an equilibrium of output but with lower job numbers due to robotics. Manufacturing in 2022 was approximately 8% of British GDP whereas the university sector was only about 2%. This paper analyses the growing connections and co-locations with numerous universities/manufacturing companies, predicting that convergence in both jobs and GDP contribution will occur around 2050.

The parameters calculation results for electric machines with HTS armature windings have been provided in this Article. Various machine schemes using HTS field winding, permanent magnets, tooth and annular armature windings have been considered. A design algorithm that takes into account system level requirements, analytical calculations, finite element modeling, as well as heat and mechanical calculation have been proposed. Specific power dependences for 77K and 20K machines have been found from the analytical method and optimization calculation based on it. It has been proved that the method developed allows finding specific power for various machines. Specific power dependences presented in this Article can be used for system level design.

Сверхпроводящие провода на основе Nb3Sn являются перспективными претендентами на использование в больших магнитных системах, например, в ускорителях и будущих термоядерных реакторах. Поэтому важной задачей является исследование изменения критических свойств этих проводов после интенсивного облучения быстрыми частицами. В данной работе представлены результаты измерений намагниченности многожильных проводов Nb3Sn после облучения быстрыми протонами. Исследовались 4 типа проволок (образцы диаметром 0,7-1,2 мм), поставляемые различными производителями. Облучение всех образцов при комнатной температуре проводилось протонами с энергией 32 МэВ при 4 флюенсах до 1x1018 1/см2. Измерения намагниченности проводились на необлученных и облученных проводах Nb3Sn при помощи вибрационного магнитометра в полях до 6 Тесла при температурах 7 и 12 К. Температура перехода Tc всех образцов определялась с помощью остаточного магнитного момента. Анализ экспериментальных данных облученных образцов показал, что облучение оказывает сильное влияние как на величину, так и на функциональную зависимость нормированной силы пиннинга.

DESAFIOS DA EDUCAÇÃO NO E PARA O MUNICÍPIO DE JUIZ DE FORA EM RELAÇÃO AO ENSINO COLABORATIVO
Authors: Nascimento Maria Aparecida , Grazzinoli Raquel Xavier
Published: March 2024

O presente artigo tem o intuito de trazer para o diálogo reflexões pertinentes quanto ao compromisso da rede municipal de ensino de Juiz de Fora com a Educação Especial em uma perspectiva inclusiva e a garantia do suporte de mais um professor nas turmas de estudantes que tenham comprovada necessidade desse serviço, seguindo os preceitos estabelecidos nos documentos federais que orientam a oferta do serviço do Profissional de Apoio, como a Nota Técnica 19/2010, a Lei nº 12.764/2012 (popularmente conhecida como Lei Berenice Piana), a Nota Técnica 24/2013 e a Lei nº 13.146/2015 (LBI). Importante destacar que a proposta de mais um professor nas turmas é uma iniciativa de vanguarda dessa rede de ensino, gestada como mais uma possibilidade de garantir inclusão, oportunidades de vivências significativas para o público da Educação Especial e melhoria na qualidade de ensino. Porém, devido ao fato de não ser uma política nacional (ou municipal), possibilita interpretações imprecisas, distanciando-se de seu objetivo, legitimando, dessa forma, práticas excludentes e territórios outros. O texto busca apresentar as muitas nuances implicadas no diálogo sobre esse tema.

Vers une citoyenneté culturelle émancipatrice à Montréal ?
Authors: Klein Juan-Luis , Tremblay Diane-Gabrielle , Manon Mathilde , Angulo Wilfredo
Published: March 2024

Cet article porte sur la place citoyenne dans la culture de proximité à Montréal. Il s’appuie sur une recherche s’intéressant à la vision que les acteurs locaux ont du rôle de la culture dans le développement local et de la place des citoyens et citoyennes dans le développement culturel. Menée en 2021-2022, la recherche se fonde sur l’idée selon laquelle l’activité culturelle constitue une sphère importante du développement des villes, autant sur le plan de l’économie que sur celui de l’intégration et de la cohésion sociale des collectivités. L’arrondissement de Montréal-Nord permet de documenter certains des principaux enjeux soulevés dans cette recherche touchant à la participation citoyenne au développement local par la culture, notamment en ce qui concerne la citoyenneté culturelle. Dans ce territoire, le thème de la citoyenneté culturelle est devenu central tant pour la mairie que pour les acteurs socioéconomiques et culturels; il émerge comme un axe d’intervention qui rapproche les acteurs politiques et les organismes communautaires. Cette approche donne à la population un rôle actif dans la mise en place des activités culturelles, en plus de favoriser la créativité citoyenne et la pratique des arts amateurs. Cette perspective s’inscrit dans la volonté de développer une identité citoyenne émancipatoire qui renverse les stigmates affectant le territoire.
