The reliability index estimation of truss rods with interval uncertainty of the initial data
Authors: Solovev Sergey A. , Inkov Alexander E. , Soloveva Anastiasia A.
Published: November 2023

The article presents an approach to evaluation the reliability index of steel truss bars with the uncertainty of random variables expressed in the presence of information only about the bounds of variability. Different methods of estimating the bounds of v

ariability for random variables are presented. The new approach is also developed using the provisions of the theory of possibility and the Dvoretzky–Kiefer–Wolfowitz inequality (DKW). The reliability index allows to compare various design solutions by the safety criterion, identify structural elements with the highest failure probability for monitoring the technical state and to quantify the increase in the safety level with strengthening of structural elements. The Monte Carlo statistical simulation data reflect the analogy of the non-probabilistic reliability index in the considered approach with the non-failure probability of the truss bar.
The Jamaican Theatre
Authors: Bennett Wycliffe , Bennett Hazel
Published: November 2023

The late Wycliffe Bennett (1922–2009), widely regarded as the godfather of the Jamaican theatre in the second half of the twentieth century, brings all his experience and insight to this last, formidable production. Wycliffe Bennett saw almost every theatrical production of note in this period, directed some productions himself, and, in addition, worked as a manager and trainer in speech, radio and television. His wife, Hazel, co-author of this liberally illustrated work, adds her skills as documentalist and witness. Together, the Bennetts have produced the first book of its kind, a panorama of performance, from the imported touring companies and fledgling local elitist groups of the 1920s and 1930s, to the birth of the Little Theatre Movement during the war years; from the small, ambitious groups of the 1950s and 1960s to the thriving commercial “roots theatre” of the new century. The book also chronicles the development of drama on radio and television, and Jamaica’s small but important film industry. In extensively documenting and analysing dance, it considers modern foundation groups like Ivy Baxter and the National Dance Theatre Company, as well as their precursors and myriad offspring. A pioneer of the Jamaica Festival movement, Wycliffe Bennett describes it from the inside, culminating with eyewitness accounts of the spectacular Caribbean Festival of the Arts, Carifesta ’76, over which he presided. As well, the authors treat music in all its variety, from classical through the Frats Quintet to reggae. There are also sections by experts in their fields: Yvonne Jones Brewster writes on Theatre 77 and Barn Theatre; Dr Maria Smith examines Revival; Barbara Requa discusses dance techniques; and Mary Brathwaite Morgan considers the golden age of drama at the University of the West Indies. To complete this panoptic view of the performing arts, there is an A to Z of the scores of outstanding personages in the different fields.
Flight to Freedom
Authors: Thompson Alvin O.
Published: November 2023

African slavery in the Americas has left indelible marks on the geographical, political, economic, social and cultural landscapes of the Americas. An important part of that indelibility is marronage that involved both flight from slavery and the establishment of free communities. This book is about the struggles of enslaved Africans in the Americas who achieved freedom through flight and the establishment of Maroon communities in the face of overwhelming military odds on the part of the slaveholders. Incontestably, Maroon communities constituted the first independent polities from European colonial rule in the hemisphere, even if the colonial states did not accord them legal recognition.
Una Marson
Authors: Tomlinson Lisa
Published: November 2023

Una Marson's work embodied anti-colonialism, anti-racism, feminism, class politics and pan-Africanism in the first half of the twentieth century. Her poetry and dramatic work symbolically ushered in a new era in Jamaica's literary landscape and her efforts in championing early Jamaican literature, as well as her avid support for Caribbean writers in Britain and the region, made her a key proponent of the development of a national and West Indian literary canon. She challenged racial inequality, affirmed standards of black beauty and black identity, and explored the complexities of gender, religious discrimination and class/economic exploitation. She did not frame her work around a single cause but, instead, she was mindful of the multiple intersections of oppression. Britain's hold on Jamaica's cultural imagination would finally be challenged by artists like Marson who were eager to free their nation of colonial authority and cultural dominance. In the end, through her advocacy and pioneering work, Marson achieved a voice for the oppressed.

The 21st century is known for its rapid technological developments, one of which is the development of digital technology. This digital technology has penetrated various fields, including education. This research aims examine the level of digital literacy and its influence on students' 21st century skills from a gender perspective. This research method is a quantitative method. The research population is active students of the Tadris Physics study program who are currently attending lectures in the first to fourth years. The research sample consisted of 38 students (19 male students and 19 female students), selected using the quota sampling technique. Data collection in this research was carried out using questionnaires and interviews. The research instruments are 2 main questionnaires that can gather information about students' digital literacy levels and students' achievement of 21st century skills. Data analysis was conducted by calculating the average score for students' digital literacy and 21st century skills based on gender. Furthermore, an analysis of the relationship between digital literacy and students' 21st century skills will also be carried out. The relationship between the two variables was analyzed using a simple regression test. The results of data analysis show that the level of digital literacy and 21st century abilities of students is in the “good” category. However, for both variables there are no significant differences between male and female students with the significance values ​​of the difference test results for digital literacy and 21st century skills being 0.125 and 0.747 respectively (both greater than 0.05). Furthermore, the results of the regression analysis revealed a statiscally significant positive influence of digital literacy on students' 21st century skills, with an F-value of 20.145 and a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05.
Meragukan Sejarah Peristiwa Kenaikan Yesus dalam Markus 16:9-20 dan Lukas 24:50-53 dengan Pendekatan Analisis Redaksi-Kritis
Authors: Siburian Carel Hot Asi
Published: November 2023

Peristiwa kenaikan Yesus (Mrk. 16:9-20; Luk. 24:50-53) menjadi puncak dari rangkaian rencana Ilahi yang dimulai sejak inkarnasi Anak, kematian, kebangkitan, dan diakhiri dengan kenaikan Yesus. Namun kisah kenaikan itu hanya muncul dalam Injil Markus dan Injil Lukas, dan sebagian kecil dalam kitab Kisah Para Rasul. Dalam studi biblika, Injil Markus sendiri pada awal penulisannya tidak memiliki kisah kenaikan Yesus (Mrk. 16:9-20) sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa hanya Lukas yang menuliskan kisah kenaikan yang sangat penting ini. Sebab itu, artikel ini hadir untuk meragukan sekaligus menantang kisah kenaikan Yesus dengan landasan bahwa hanya ada satu penulis saja yang menuliskan kisah kenaikan Yesus, itupun hanya dalam empat ayat pendek saja. Kehistorisan kisah kenaikan tersebut menjadi pertanyaan penting dalam artikel ini, sebab tidak elok rasanya menumpukan doktrin di atas sebuah kisah yang tidak dapat dipastikan kebenarannya. Maka melalui metode tafsir historis-kritis ringkas dan pendekatan analisis redaksi-kritis, akan diperlihatkan bahwa kisah kenaikan Yesus, secara historis, dapat diragukan. Simpulan dari artikel ini adalah kisah kenaikan Yesus justru tidak terjadi seperti yang kita pahami selama ini, di mana penggambarannya selalu berhubungan dengan Yesus yang terangkat ke surga (melayang, naik, dan menghilang di awan-awan).
The Limited Validity of the Fractional Euler Finite Difference Method and an Alternative Definition of the Caputo Fractional Derivative to Justify Modification of the Method
Authors: Clemence-Mkhope Dominic P. , Denton Zachary
Published: November 2023

A method, advanced as the fractional Euler finite difference method (FEFDM), a general method for the finite difference discretization of fractional initial value problems (IVPs) for 0<α≤1 for the Caputo derivative, is shown to be valid only for α=1. This is accomplished by establishing, through a recently proposed generalized difference quotient representation of the fractional derivative, that the FEFDM is valid only if a property of the Mittag-Leffler function holds that has only been shown to be valid only for α=1. It is also shown that the FEFDM is inconsistent with the exact discretization of the IVP for the Caputo fractional relaxation equation. The generalized derivative representation is also used to derive a modified generalized Euler’s method, its nonstandard finite difference alternative, their improved Euler versions, and to recover a recent result by Mainardi relating the Caputo and conformable derivatives.
Sarcophagidae (Diptera) do Cerrado Sul Maranhense: expansão na distribuição geográfica de Sarcophaga (Neobelleria) libera Aldrich, 1916
Authors: Leite Rafael C. , Barbosa Taciano M. , Santos-Junior Eudoxio G. , Gama Renata A. , Soares Thiago F.
Published: November 2023

Sarcophagidae represents a widely diverse group of dipterans and occupy a variety of ecological niches. However, the flesh flies’ taxonomy is still a challenge, as it primarily uses the analysis of the male genitalia to identify specimens, which is an obstacle to identifying the group in faunal surveys. This research aimed to report the first record of Sarcophaga (Neobellieria) libera Aldrich, 1916 (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) in the Neotropical Region and present a checklist of flesh flies collected in the south of the Maranhão state. The specimens were collected in a native Cerrado biome in the municipality of São Raimundo das Mangabeiras, in the south of the state of Maranhão, using suspended traps with rotting chicken viscera, fish, and bovine liver as bait. This research presents a list of 28 species and 11 (Eleven) genera, including the first occurrence of the species S. (N.) libera for the Neotropical region. In addition, this study raises the need for more research on trophic and behavioral ecology, since these species were collected with ephemeral baits and they are not directly associated with the use of animal carcasses in their life cycle.
EFFECTS OF HUMAN CAPITAL ON ECONOMIC GROWTH IN BENIN
Authors:   National School Of Applied Economics And Management, University Of Abomey-Calavi, Cotonou, Benin, Houndjo André
Published: November 2023

The development of human capital is a lever for sustainable economic growth. This study analyzes the importance of human capital in the process of economic growth in Benin. It was carried out on time series from 1990 to 2020. The analysis was based on the Toda Yamamoto causality test, and estimates were made using an autoregressive lag-staggered model (ARDL). The causality test reveals that spending on education causes gross domestic product per capita. The estimates show that education spending has a negative influence on the country's economic growth, while health spending and the gross secondary school enrolment rate have a positive influence in both the short and long term. However, these variables do not have a significant effect on gross domestic product per capita in the long term, while in the short term, it is only health spending that does not have a significant effect on Benin's economic growth.

The evaluation of the effectiveness of the development of the Northern section of the I object of the Karazhanbas field by injecting a coolant into the reservoir is considered. To intensify oil production in hard-to-recover reserves of the field, thermal methods are considered, such as the use of hot water and steam as an injection agent into the productive reservoir, the creation of a combustion front or a high-temperature zone in the reservoir. Considering the development trend of the northern territory of the Karazhanbas field, it was found that reservoir energy is depleted, reservoir oil properties change, becoming more viscous, resulting in a rapid decrease in production rate and pressure drop, with an increase in water cut. Modeling the application of in situ combustion technology (ICG) is of practical importance in the conditions of the Karazhanbas field and will improve the efficiency of using technically possible heat carriers. An analysis of the development of the Karazhanbas field is presented, as well as the dynamics of the current and accumulated compensation for withdrawals by injection in the Northern area in recent years of development. The analysis of the presented indicators made it possible to conclude that with a decrease in the volume of steam injection into the reservoir, for the uniformity of oil production, it is necessary to consider the technology of using in-situ combustion in this area. The substantiation of the numerical method is given, which makes it possible to represent the formation of fields of pressure, temperature, saturation (oil, water and gas), concentrations of components (oxygen, water vapor and inert gas) when using in-situ combustion. Based on the qualitative behavior of the constructed dependences, one can trace the dynamics of the formation and evolution of zones characteristic of the process of in-situ combustion and draw a conclusion about the implementation of in-situ combustion in the Karazhanbas field.

The results of the study of the process of catalytic cracking of fuel oil on a microspherical zeolite-containing catalyst showed that the cracking of a mixture consisting of hydrotreated vacuum gas oil (85% by weight) and sulfurous fuel oil (15% by weight) leads to an increase in the yield of catalytic distillate by 5.4 – 7.7% by weight, for a mass feed rate of 2 and 4 hours 1, respectively. At the same time, there is a change in the output of all distillate components compared to their output from pure vacuum gas oil. A decrease in coke deposition on the catalyst by 1.9 – 2.6% by weight and an improvement in the quality of the products obtained were found. The content of sulfur and unsaturated hydrocarbons in gasoline obtained from hydrotreated raw materials is less, aromatic compounds are more. Light and heavy gas oils also contain significantly less sulfur. These studies will deepen the oil refining process, increase the yield of catalytic distillate and reduce the environmental burden.

REGIONAL INFLATION PREDICTION BASED ON HYBRID MACHINE LEARNING MODEL: GRADIENT BOOSTING AND RANDOM FOREST
Authors:   Ivanovo State University of Chemical Technology, ASTRAKHANTSEVA IRINA A. , GERASIMOV ALEXANDER S. ,   Ivanovo State University of Chemical Technology
Published: November 2023

In this paper, a hybrid machine learning model was developed for predicting regional inflation based on gradient boosting and random forest. The consumer price index was used as a method of measuring inflation, which measures the ratio of the basket value in the reporting and base periods. One of the key features and scientific novelty of the work is the use of a hybrid model that combines the predictions of two machine learning models (gradient boosting and random forest) and gives the overall result. This approach is a modern trend in the field of inflation forecasting and allows you to get a more objective forecast picture. When choosing gradient boosting and random forest as the main algorithms for building the model, the authors were guided by several reasons. Firstly, these methods are widely used to solve forecasting problems both in Russia and abroad. Secondly, they demonstrated effectiveness in previous studies of the authors, allowing them to work with a large amount of input data and build a ranked scheme based on the influence of each factor on the result. Consideration of the degree of influence of variables is important for the interpretation of the simulation result. Evaluation of the importance of variables is necessary for a more complete interpretation of the simulation results. Thirdly, the data processing process for these models is identical, which significantly reduces the time for data processing. Fourth, despite the similarity of these models as ensembles of decision trees, they differ in the learning process and how they combine the results of individual trees.

The article, based on an analysis of the state and peculiarities of financial behavior of citizens of the Russian Federation, attempted to determine the degree of influence on these processes of the state information policy and propose some legislative initiatives that can positively affect the level of confidence of citizens in the financial system. The analysis made it possible to conclude that the population of Russia as a whole adheres to conservative and restrained financial strategies. The authors attribute to the main reasons for this phenomenon the insufficient development of the financial services market in the field of working with private investors, due to the lack of financial consulting institutions. To improve the efficiency of regulation of financial behavior, as well as to stabilize it, the work proposed legislative initiatives aimed at creating a trusting environment in the state, increasing the interest and awareness of the population about various financial instruments, as well as increasing the level of rational financial activity of the population and preventing risky behavior of citizens.

NONLINEAR EFFECTS OF CRUDE OIL DEPENDENCY ON FOOD PRICES IN CHINA: EVIDENCE FROM QUANTILE-ON-QUANTILE APPROACH
Authors: Yu Ying , Peng Chuqi , Zakaria Muhammad , Mahmood Hamid , Khalid Samia
Published: November 2023

The repercussions of disruptions in the global crude oil market have a substantial influence on economies worldwide. Oil shocks are considered important estimators of many economic variables. The current research examines the effects of oil price shocks on food prices in China using monthly data from 2000M1 to 2021M12. The estimation is done using the Quantile on Quantile (QQ) estimation technique. The BDS test is used to test nonlinear dependence in variables. The results of this test confirm the presence of nonlinear dependence in variables. The estimated results of the QQ technique suggest a strong association between oil prices and food prices nexus in China with significant disparities across the quantiles. The lower and medium quantiles show a poor negative effect of crude oil prices on food prices. Nevertheless, it has been shown that there exists a strong positive correlation in the higher quantiles of the distribution, which suggests that an increase in global oil prices directly impacts the costs of food. The outcome of the study offers significant policy recommendations aimed at mitigating the detrimental impact of oil prices on food prices in China.

Biens publics mondiaux et développement : l'indispensable convergence de deux écosystèmes d'acteurs du financement
Authors: Treyer Sébastien
Published: November 2023

Le financement des biens publics mondiaux, en particulier du climat, est sur le point d'être intégré dans le mandat formel de la Banque mondiale. Il ne s'agit que du plus récent développement d'un processus de plus long terme de convergence entre deux écosystèmes d'acteurs du financement : le système international de financement du développement, né après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, et celui, plus récent, développé pour financer la protection de l'environnement. Cette convergence est à la fois inévitable et nécessaire, mais elle nécessite d'analyser en détail le risque que l'accent mis sur les biens publics mondiaux ne se fasse aux dépens des objectifs socioéconomiques de développement. Cet article montre que les institutions de financement du développement peuvent aligner l'ensemble de leurs stratégies et portefeuille avec l'Accord de Paris sur le climat en s'assurant qu'ils s'alignent, aux échelles nationales, avec des stratégies de développement économique de long terme compatibles avec la décarbonation profonde de l'économie, dans le cadre de la transformation profonde des modèles de développement requis par l'Agenda 2030. Ce modèle de l'alignement avec l'Accord de Paris peut servir de modèle à d'autres biens publics mondiaux. Au-delà des organisations dédiées au développement international, cet article montre aussi la nécessité d'une réforme plus profonde de l'ensemble du système financier international.

The S-asymptotically $ \omega $-periodic solutions for stochastic fractional differential equations with piecewise constant arguments
Authors: Zhao Shufen
Published: November 2023

In this paper, two kinds of stochastic differential equations with piecewise constant arguments are investigated. Sufficient conditions for the existence of the square-mean S-asymptotically $ \omega $-periodic solutions of these two type equations are derived where $ \omega $ is an integer. Then, the global asymptotic stability for one of them is considered by using the comparative approach. In order to show the theoretical results, we give two examples.

Published: November 2023

The main aim of this work is to conduct an analysis of the approximate controllability of Hilfer fractional (HF) neutral stochastic differential systems under the condition of an almost sectorial operator with delay. The theoretical ideas linked to stochastic analysis, fractional calculus and semigroup theory, along with the fixed-point technique, are utilized to establish the key results of this article. More precisely, the main theorem of this study is devoted to proving the fact that the relevant linear system is approximately controllable. Finally, to help this research be as comprehensive as possible, we provide a theoretical application and filter system.
The Eigenvalues-Based Entropy and Spectrum of the Directed Cycles
Authors: Sun Yan , Pei Jiu Chang , Chen Jian Fu , Cun Zhu
Published: November 2023

The directed cycles form a foundational structure within a network model. By analyzing the in-degree characteristic polynomial of three kinds of matrices of the directed cycles, the authors obtain the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix , the Laplacian matrix , and the signless Laplacian matrix . This study investigates the eigenvalues spectrum of these three types of matrices for directed cycles and introduces an eigenvalue-based entropy calculated from the real part of the eigenvalues. The computer simulation reveals interesting characteristics on the spectrum of the signless Laplacian. The concept of eigenvalue-based entropy holds promise for enhancing our understanding of graph neural networks and more applications of social networks.
Conservadorismo na política no governo Bolsonaro: novas articulações, valores religiosos e pauta de costumes
Authors: Luna Naara
Published: November 2023

Este artigo examina como valores religiosos estão implicados no debate público no governo Bolsonaro. Isso abrange temas morais controversos – o aborto e a diversidade sexual, tópicos associados à categoria de acusação “ideologia de gênero”. Esses temas integram a pauta de costumes, uma agenda centrada na moral sexual e reprodutiva acionada na campanha à presidência de Jair Bolsonaro, que engaja seus apoiadores religiosos. Esta investigação analisa controvérsias com base em pesquisa documental nos sites eletrônicos da grande imprensa e dos informativos ligados ao Executivo, Legislativo e Judiciário, além de exame das redes sociais de agentes envolvidos nos movimentos sociais analisados. No contexto da pandemia de Covid-19, a pauta de costumes foi momentaneamente eclipsada pela questão da liberdade de culto. Além da participação de lideranças religiosas na base de apoio do presidente, observa-se a erupção de movimentos da sociedade_civil, autodesignados cristãos, que lutam em prol do fortalecimento político do governante, em sua ascensão autoritária, contra instituições democráticas, especialmente o Supremo Tribunal Federal. Esses movimentos conservadores alegam defender a liberdade religiosa entre outras liberdades civis. Tal conservadorismo está associado a certa linguagem de gênero e a uma identidade dita cristã. O viés na execução de políticas públicas revela moralidade pautada em valores_religiosos.
Cristianismo y pobreza: una aproximación teórico-metodológica
Authors: Vilchis Carrillo David
Published: November 2023

Este artículo explora las formas de relación entre creencias religiosas sobre la pobreza y percepciones de desigualdad. Para ello, partiendo de los conceptos de la sociología comprensiva de Max Weber de afinidades electivas y tipos ideales (o puros), ejemplifica  con ciertos portadores típico-ideales; identifica tres respuestas del cristianismo ante la pregunta de por qué hay pobres y qué se debe hacer con la pobreza: la pobreza como objeto de maldición, como objeto de caridad y el pobre como sujeto de derechos; y señala sus coincidencias y paralelismos con las atribuciones causales de la pobreza: individualistas (meritocráticas), fatalistas y estructurales, respectivamente. No obstante, de ninguna forma sugiere que la relación sea determinista o unidireccional. Más bien, apunta a que la presencia de las respuestas del cristianismo ante la pregunta de la pobreza puede influir en la consolidación de sus atribuciones causales en el creyente (las cuales pueden tener fundamentos seculares) y viceversa. Finalmente, se proponen los resultados de la investigación como un marco teórico que permita seguir profundizando empíricamente en las relaciones entre creencias religiosas y percepciones de desigualdad.
Adventismo, activismo social profético y demandas indígenas en Puno 1911-1925
Authors: Moulian Rodrigo , Mansilla Miguel Ángel
Published: November 2023

El presente artículo explica las causas del éxito de la evangelización adventista entre aimaras y quechuas en Puno, Perú, durante la segunda y mediados de la tercera década del siglo XX, desde la teoría de las mediaciones. Al respecto, mostramos la mediación simbólica del núcleo de creencias escatológicas, que afirman la inminencia del fin de los tiempos, en el impulso del proyecto misional. Exponemos la mediación pragmática del trabajo adventista en las áreas de salud y educación en relación con las necesidades y demandas de las comunidades indígenas, y su impacto en la alfabetización de los comuneros. Analizamos la mediación social del programa de evangelización, que se articula con los procesos de cambio social modernizadores, contribuyendo a la sustitución de una estructura social de castas por una estructura social de clases. Como resultado de ello, la Iglesia Adventista del Séptimo Día arraiga y crece de manera sostenida entre la población indígena, al punto de transformar a la Misión del Lago Titicaca en la asociación adventista más importante de Sudamérica durante este período.
Geografía religiosa naqshbandi en la patagonia argentina: Un abordaje etnográfico
Authors: Capovilla Cecilia
Published: November 2023

En sentido amplio, el artículo aborda las características que reúnen las comunidades sufís islámicas de la tariqa (orden o camino) Naqshbandi emplazadas en territorios rurales montañosos de Argentina. En sentido específico, a partir de un trabajo etnográfico, analiza la configuración del espacio en torno a lo sagrado en la “Chacra del Recuerdo”, ubicada en Pampa de Mallín Ahogado, provincia de Río Negro. Para comprender la construcción de esa espacialidad religiosa, en la que las áreas profanas y sagradas emergen a partir de la apropiación que los sujetos hacen del espacio, y de las relaciones sociales e individuales que allí se desarrollan, se torna fundamental referir a la figura del imán que lidera la comunidad. De este modo, se propondrá a la finca patagónica como la expresión de un espacio religioso que ofrece un abanico de modos de habitar el lugar. Bajo la administración de un líder carismático que reúne a familias de discípulos, allí se compatibilizan el estilo de vida natural autosuficiente, y los rituales sufís Naqshbandi e islámicos, con otros tipos de espiritualidades y prácticas vinculadas al amplio espectro de la Nueva Era.
On Galois Action on the Inertia Stack of Moduli Spaces of Curves
Authors: Collas Benjamin , Maugeais Sylvain
Published: November 2023

We establish that the geometric action of the absolute Galois group

\mathrm{Gal}(\bar{\mathbb{Q}}/\mathbb{Q})

on the étale fundamental group of moduli spaces of curves induces a Galois action on its stack inertia subgroups, and that this action is given by cyclotomy conjugacy. This result extends the special case of inertia without étale factorisation previously established by the authors. It is here obtained in the general case by comparing deformations of Galois actions.

Since the cyclic stack inertia corresponds to the first level of the stack stratification of the space, this result, by analogy with the arithmetic of the Deligne–Mumford stratification, opens the way to a systematic Galois study of the stack inertia through the corresponding stratification of the moduli stack.
COVID-19 crisis era; Engineering interventions in Sub-Saharan Africa

Despite numerous notable contributions by Africans during the Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) outbreak, little effort has been made to  document these contributions in a comprehensive publication. Herein this work, an attempt was made to bring together African-based  technological interventions proffered in Sub-Saharan Africa during this period. Across Africa generally, different engineering methods  were used to develop several contrivances such as ventilators as well as deploying Artificial Intelligence to facilitate contact-free human- human and human-object interactions. Broadly, these approaches center on two key areas which are efforts to mitigate the spread of the  infectious disease, and management of the infected, which are the focus of this present work. Indeed, a comprehensive report of  these efforts is essential to appraise the contributions of the home-based researchers and to create an archive for future research and  decision making across the African continent, thus necessitating the need for this systematic appraisal.
