Authors: Ratombo Ndivhuho Eunice , Mongale Itumeleng Pleasure
Published: January 2024

This study originates from the notion that trade openness promotes inclusive growth as it promotes economic growth. Hence, this study investigates the effects of trade openness on inclusive growth focusing on the selected SADC countries, aiming to inveterate the flow of inclusive growth. The study findings reveal that selected SADC countries require utilitarian policy to be formed in a country context to return responsive inclusive growth standards. The panel autoregressive distributed lag approach was employed from 2000 to 2020. This study has uncovered a shortage of inclusive principles within SADC, to promote inclusive growth. This study confirms that SADC-inclusive channels should be mended. This study contributes by narrowing the inadequacy gap set between SADC trade openness and inclusive growth. Besides its contribution to the field, the study is envisaged to offer insights into selected SADC member states policymakers to reconsider and prioritize benefits that are tied to inclusive growth through trade openness. The findings of this study provide an important scientific basis to the understanding of the relationship between trade openness and inclusive growth in the SADC region. The study plays an important supporting role by sensitizing policymakers and researchers interested in promoting equitable economic development through inclusive growth.

Naxal Insurgency in India: Managing Conflict through Empowerment
Authors: Ahlawat Dalbir
Published: January 2024

The election of an indigenous (Adivasi) lady as the President of India added a new dynamic to the centuries-old Naxal insurgency in India. Not receiving a fair deal after India’s independence, the Naxals adopted Maoist ideology. By 2010 the insurgency engulfed one-third of India and posed a serious security challenge. Since then, the Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) governments have adopted different strategies to curtail the insurgency, but it still persists. Against this backdrop, this article briefly discusses the historical antecedents; delineates in detail the operational strategies adopted by the Naxals, the counter-insurgency strategies adopted by the Congress and BJP governments; developmental challenges faced by the Adivasis; and suggests recommendations for how the President of India, an Adivasi herself, can be instrumental in containing the Naxal insurgency threats through empowerment.
A characterization of OFDMA uplink activation for industrial applications
Authors: Montgomery Karl , Candell Rick
Published: January 2024

This report serves to determine how Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) is triggered in commercial IEEE 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) access points for industrial application scenarios. It presents an overview of OFDMA and how it works in IEEE 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6). Then, it provides the measurement methodologies for determining OFDMA triggering conditions by performing experiments that vary the traffic, number of wireless stations, and transmitted packet lengths. A wireless sniffer is used to determine when OFDMA trigger frames are sent, indicating OFDMA activation. The resulting table shows what set of conditions activate OFDMA in the test environment. Of the two commercial access points tested in this report, both are observed to follow the same condition for OFDMA activation, namely when two or more stations send over 100 packets per second, regardless of packet size. Another contribution is a method to determine when OFDMA is activated using an industrial computer, configured as a wireless sniffer.
