The pandemic of Covid-19 has drawn significant attention of the people around the world. The current situation has revealed that this virus infected more than 50 million people globally. On the other hand, the study on crowd simulation can demonstrate the behaviour of massive people that gather in the same location. The importance of this study can lead to safe evacuation in case an outbreak happens. This paper proposed a solution of innovative crowd simulation supported by reinforcement learning and pandemic factors. The study has successfully demonstrated the entering and leaving the various exit and entrance. The experiment is performed with a different mode such as two elevators for exit and entry, staircase and six lanes of gates. As a result of the experimental study, it reveals around 87% of agent behaviour has similarity compared to a real-life simulation performed by previous research. It means the simulation is reflecting the real-life human behaviour when the evacuation process has occurred. The future study can extend to a contagion model of crowd behaviour where an agent can influence each other in a particular situation.

Authors: Nisa Mehrun , Andleeb Marya , Farhad Ilahi Bakhsh
Published: March 2021

The maximum power point (MPP) of a Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) array varies with temperature and irradiation. Shadow of various objects falling on a certain portion of the SPV array causes partial shading condition (PSC) which results in the formation of hot spot. Thus, reducing the power (output) by 33% on a single cell in addition to the occurrence of various peaks on a P-V curve. To detect global maxima among the multiple peaks is a challenge for researchers. Hence, different Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques are used to overcome this challenge. In this paper, the impact of partial shading on SPV array has been analysed and the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) based MPPT technique is used to obtain global maxima under partial shading conditions. The MPPT controller is incorporated with a converter (boost) to vary the input voltage as per the duty cycle of the switch generated by PSO algorithm-based controller.

Published: March 2021

As the world is switching over to renewable energy with solar energy as the most vital form of it, so it is essential to operate it in a manner that we can extract maximum efficiency from the photo voltic panels. But due to some uncalled for senarios when the PV panels are subjected to partial shading conditions its efficiency is greatly impacted. The MPPT here comes for its rescue, When PSC occurs the PV trajectories will be distinct and very complex due to various peaks available. The traditional MPPT techniques will fail to reach the Global Maximum Power Point and it usually stays at the Local Maximum Peak Point which surely would decline the performance and ability of the PV module. This research focuses on comparing the Particle Swarm Optimization approach and Perturb and Observe technique of MPPT for tracking peak power to identify the GMPP so as to attain the Maximum Power from the PV system. A rural area is selected as the demography of the location suits the proposed study . The load for the location is calculated and then both the algorithms are applied and there performance is analyzed in the study. The performance characteristics of the boost converter can be studied by varying its duty cycle with the two algorithms. This approach provides a high reliability robustness and proficiency towards MPP. The authenticity of this proposed algorithm was established using MATLAB/Simulink

As population size grows over time, staple food production also needs to keep up with increased annual demands. In Indonesia, the agricultural sector applies intensification and extensification to maximize rice productivity. However, farm extensification can instead decline productivity, should it sprawl into marginal lands like the study area that has been affected by sea-level rise impact, i.e., surface saltwater intrusion. Therefore, this study set out to differentiate paddies into segments affected and unaffected by salinity based on discernible variation in rice growth stages. These stages were determined using a vegetation index, NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), calculated from time-series Sentinel-2 L2A+B image data from 2015 until 2020. The resulting temporal NDVI showed two cropping patterns year-round but with different planting times. In salinity-unaffected paddy segments, farmers began the inundation-transplanting stage in late March and ended the cropping season with fallow in August. Meanwhile, in salinity-affected segments, the cropping stages were the opposite: inundation in early April and fallow in early September. The measurable impact of salinity was apparent at the vegetative-generative stage, where salinity-affected paddies had the highest NDVI of 0.64–0.65, whereas those unaffected had the highest NDVI of 0.7–0.75. These index values indicate an impaired rice growth rate due to salinity effects. Compared with the field-measured data, the NDVI showed 85% accuracy, with a Kappa coefficient of 0.87. Meanwhile, the NDVI-EC correlation test produced R-values of 63–85%. Overall, this research has confirmed that remote sensing image and technology can acquire variable data that explain salinity effects on coastal paddies.

Published: March 2021

Character improvement of citrus could be done by mutation breeding in which one of the purposes is to obtain seedless fruit. One of the mechanisms of seedlessness is through low viability and germination rate of pollen. This study was aimed to know the behavior of pollen of Mutant SoE Mandarin and its effect on seedless character of the fruit. The research was done in 2015-2016 in Laboratory of ICSFRI. Plant materials used were flowers derived from Mutant plants of SoE Mandarin, which were grown from irradiated budwoods of SoE Mandarin. The irradiated buds were grafted onto 6 months-old rootstocks of Japanese Citroen and maintained in pots in Tlekung Experimental Field ICSFRI. For controls, flowers from local Mandarin (SoE and Batu 55) varieties which were available during the study were used. The pollen were observed on the viability using acetocarmine 1% and successful pollination of flowers. The result showed that there was clearly different pollen viability of the mutant and control plants hence the different seed numbers. Mutant SoE has 36.7% viability and average number of seeds of 2.3 while SoE Mandarin has 98.94% viability and average number of seeds of 11.6. Observation on pollination showed that most pollens were arrested on stigma and less or no pollen found in ovaries of both self-pollinated flowers of Mutant SoE and cross-pollinated flowers of Mutant SoE x Batu 55. This assumed to be the reason of the low number of seeds on mutant fruits.

Published: March 2021

The choice of the region for the location of the production of ecologically pure food is substantiated, taking into account the results of the complex ecological zoning of Russia. Research shows that the Altai Territory has the necessary prerequisites for the transition to an environmentally oriented development of food production. The factors for the development of food production have been taken into account and grouped, which make it possible to reveal the potential for greening the regional agro-industrial complex. The ecological and economic conditions and the resource potential of the region determine the expediency of searching for the type of firms of the corresponding specialization. The working hypothesis is that the production of organic food is justified by two types of agricultural and processing organizations (newly created, low-profit or unprofitable). The application of the decomposition method made it possible to determine the basic development strategies of two types of organizations, taking into account the phases of the life cycle of the production of environmentally friendly food.

Reducing the time spent on preparing a sample for analysis by 19.5 times, as well as cost items for raw materials and basic materials by 2.6 times, is a weighty argument in favor of introducing the PLP-01M microwave laboratory system. When the estimated price for a unit of research is established, the competitiveness in the market for the services provided significantly increases, the setting of the market price allows increasing revenue by 1.2 times, which will amount to 883 thousand rubles. additional income. Upgrading the equipment used from Kvant-AFA to Kvant-2AT with the simultaneous implementation of the PLP-01M microwave laboratory system will not only improve the used measuring instrument, but also the entire sample preparation system as a whole. The optimal choice of measuring instruments for updating the laboratory base is carried out based on the volume of analyzed samples, the productivity of existing and considered for implementation instruments, the cost of equipment and the solvency of the TLC, as well as the possibility of implementing a new method in the laboratory.

Authors: Osipova I M , Naumova T A
Published: March 2021

Labor productivity as an indicator of labor efficiency should be correlated with the human standard of living in order to show how the result of labor can affect the welfare of the population. However, the inconsistency of the proportions between effort and effect helps to reveal the economic problems of the development of the agricultural sector in Irkutsk region. Within the framework of the study, the standard of living of the population in rural areas was described, a dynamic analysis of indicators of labor productivity in the agricultural sector and the standard of living of citizens in the countryside was carried out, the factors of changes in investigated indicator were identified, the correlation between productivity and the standard of living of the population was determined, it was proved that the relationship between wages as the main source of an increase in living standards with labor productivity in the agricultural sector is not effective, just as there is no increase in living standards with an increase in the absolute value of productivity. This helps to see new ways of intensive development of the agro-industrial sector.

Published: March 2021

Financial forecasting issues do not lose their relevance as they are the “circulatory system” of the effective functioning of any organization in the agricultural sector. Taking into account this fact, a scientific study of the indicated problem was carried out regarding one of the dynamically developing subsectors of animal husbandry, namely poultry farming. An assessment of the prospects for the functioning of the industry is given and the fact of an increase in the number of unprofitable enterprises is established. In this regard, the adaptation of a progressive model of financial forecasting with a compensating variable based on the data of a poultry enterprise was carried out. Various modifications of the proposed model have been used, with a step-by-step approach to preliminary, intermediate and forecast balances. The final results of the work carried out made it possible to develop various strategies for the behavior of the managers of the poultry enterprise in the formation of the value of its own funds, as well as navigate the volumes of possible borrowed sources of the financed property. Demonstrated the variability of changes in balance sheet items at different percentages of growth in sales. The integration of the results obtained indicates the effectiveness and progressiveness of the financial forecasting model using the compensating variable in relation to the poultry industry.
Labor productivity modeling in the agricultural sector

Published: March 2021

The article examines the relevance of the study of productivity and wages, highlights the specificity of their relationship in the agricultural sector. On the basis of agricultural organizations of the Kursk region, an analysis of the dynamics of labor productivity in comparison with the dynamics of wages was carried out. A degressive model of wage growth has been identified that does not contain an incentive to increase the productivity of employees. On the basis of the constructed mathematical models for the growth of productivity and wages in agricultural enterprises of the Kursk region, conclusions are drawn about the imbalance of material motivation due to the fact that labor productivity increases in the form of a polynomial function with an increase in wages that is closer to a linear function. The thesis about the disproportions in the growth of productivity and wages was confirmed, and the need for corrective actions and the development of recommendations for both managerial decisions at the level of economic entities and for state regulation of the industry was substantiated. At the level of organizations, more active use of differentiated pay systems is justified, in which the level of remuneration will be directly related to the productivity of workers and the results that they contribute to financial indicators, as well as providing employees with the opportunity to participate in the capital of the enterprise and the distribution of profits with direct participation in organization management. Recommendations have been developed on the need to link the allocation of state support to the level of wages in the organization and more active use of methods of non-material incentives for managers and owners of agricultural organizations from the state.
