Authors: Snyman Maritha
Published: November 2022

Brochures are often used in South Africa to disseminate information to disadvantagedcommunities. This article is based on a research project in which the effectiveness ofprinted texts containing information about agricultural practices was tested among atarget audience of small-scale farmers in deep rural areas. The methodology used wasinformed by reception theory. The historical development of reception study is tracedand compared with recent trends in communication research. The findings of thisstudy indicate that considerable interpretation gaps exist between sender and receiver.This is mainly caused by a lack of understanding about the life world of the end-userand results in the absence of a common coda[ system between communicator andreceiver. Empirical studies based on reception theory can make a positive contributiontowards improving development communication in the pluralistic cultural and lingualSouth African society. It may well be used as an instrument to test the effectiveness ofmessages aimed at a specific target audience.
Mugabe's victory spells doom for the media in Zimbabwe
Authors: Nyabuga George
Published: November 2022

This article explores recent events in Zimbabwe, the violence and intimidation thatmarred the 2002 presidential elections and the war Robert Mugabe, the country'spresident since independence in 1980, waged against whoever was opposed to orchallenged his leadership - especially white farmers and journalists - in the run-up tothe crucial polls. I opine that even though Mugabe won 56 per cent of the country's vote, his leadershiplacks legitimacy because a sizeable number of people, especially in the oppositionareas, were denied the right to exercise their democratic right to cast their vote.Although I argue that his purge against critics is unjustifiable and evil, I also writeabout the need to fight injustices subjected to his people. I posit that Mugabe's contempt and assault on the media will continue, especially after he signed into law the controversial Access to Information Act aimed at curtailingcriticism by the press.

Authors: Kumar Manish
Published: November 2022

Agriculture is India's rural population's livelihood. It's also essential for human existence, and it's developed over time to suit the demands of an ever-growing human population. Agriculture is their main source of income in rural area of India. Agriculture is the primary employment of the majority of Indians, as we all know. The majority of Indians rely on agriculture for their living, either openly or implicitly. The great majority of Indian farmers trust on their intuition to determine which crop to plant in a given season. Farmers are accustomed to sowing the same crop, using more fertilizer, and following public opinion. They find comfort in just following historical agricultural traditions and standards, oblivious to the reality that crop yield is highly dependent on current weather, soil, and other variables. The most frequent problem faced by Indian farmers is that they do not select the appropriate crop based on their soil requirements and other factors such as fertilizer s and irrigation patterns. As a result, productivity is impacted. However, a single farmer cannot be expected to take into consideration all of the numerous elements that influence crop development before deciding which one to plant. This problem can be efficiently addressed with machine learning. There have been major advancements in how machine learning may be employed in many businesses and studies during the last several years. As a result, we intend to develop a model/system that will allow machine learning to be utilised in agriculture to benefit farmers.

Published: November 2022

Deep learning is a scientific field in Machine Learning (ML) that is developing with various applications, one of which is visual image processing technology. With the excellent capabilities of computer vision, image processing from computer visuals is used to duplicate the human ability to understand object information in the image. One of the Machine Learning (ML) methods that can be used for object classification in images is the Convolution Neural Network (CNN) method. The two core stages when processing object classification in the image, the first stage is image classification using feedforward, and the second stage applies the backpropagation method. In this study, before the classification stage, this method was first carried out through preprocessing, which is useful as an image separation to focus on the object to be classified. Furthermore, it is carried out by conducting pre-training using the feedforward method with the bias weights, which are updated after every training process. The observations of this study, the results of image classification training with a degree of ambiguity, resulted in a good average accuracy validation value of 0.91 in a confidence interval with a range of 0-1. So, it can be concluded that applying the Convolution Neural Network (CNN) method to distinguish objects in an image can classify them well.

Authors: Niranjan Hiranmayi , PR Badrinath
Published: November 2022

The basis of Supply Chain Management (SCM) starts with accurate demand forecasting as harmonizing demand and supply is at the genesis of any operational plan. These forecasts determine every aspect of an organization from resource allocation to finished product distribution planning. Undeniably, if the demand forecasts are faulty this will have a negative impact on the Supply Chain (SC) therefore on the profits of the organization. This paper designs a conceptual review for factors involved in recent forecasting methodologies. Although the existing research has analyzed many theoretical perspectives of Supply Chain forecasting, there is a scarcity of research in overcoming the shortcomings of normal distribution because with the invention of Big Data Analytics (BDA), this traditional method is becoming weaker. The review infers that there is much to be learned about structuring a hierarchy to best forecast hybrid decision-making problems. Moreover, forecasting strategies of producers and retailer sellers play a pivotal role for consensus forecasts, meanwhile the role of forecast horizon and frequency cannot be neglected. The research focuses on reviewing the latest forecasting methods to help guide practitioners when carrying out long-term forecasting strategies.

Published: November 2022

A disaster can be viewed, from the project perspective, as a unique public problem to be addressed by stakeholders, including the government, through appropriate response, recovery, reduction, and readiness measures. In view of successful disaster management practices, this research explores relevant literature on countries’ post-disaster reconstruction and recovery along with countries’ resilience in curbing the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The research aims to enhance understanding on the successes of past and ongoing events with a disaster resilience lens. It examines the reported critical success factors (CSFs) within resilience to natural hazards and COVID-19, and analyzes them using the Build Back Better (BBB) Framework, a framework intended to evaluate recovery efforts. The analysis results reveal that the CSFs could be linked to the framework’s three categories: disaster risk reduction, community recovery, and effective implementation. However, the emerging environment sees political influences and public policy driving community resilience, which are currently not highlighted in the framework. The research findings are not meant to be exhaustive, since mostly Asia-Pacific case studies were integrated into the literature, and the solution to COVID-19 has yet to be significantly realized. Further systematic review considering the recent developments may corroborate the findings on success and direct future research

The isolates were examined for other hydrocarbon degradation in media supplemented with Diesel, Benzene, Petrol and Cyclohexane at three different concentrations viz 5%, 10% and 15% incubated for 3 different time intervals 5, 10 and 15 days. The results indicated that all the isolates possessed potential to degrade the wide variety of hydrocarbons. The most efficient among them was Acenetobacter junii which degraded all tested hydrocarbon showing maximum growth at 5% concentration and 10 days incubation. It could be concluded that native flora of hydrocarbon contaminated site adapt to the environmental condition and could be implicated to remove hydrocarbons.

In Bangladesh, the total domestic clothing market is not small. Especially women's clothing market is much bigger than others. There is a significant impact of mother-daughter co-shopping on women's clothing purchasing. But unfortunately, no brand line has been started, or no branding strategy has been taken on targeting this huge market segment. Traditionally there is a trend of mother-daughter co-shopping, not only in Bangladesh but worldwide. And usually, when family shopping occurs, women of the families do this shopping, where the mother, daughter, and sisters are present in that shopping. So, it is very typical that mother-daughter will go shopping together whereas male persons of the family do not usually do their shopping together. A male person used to go shopping most of the time individually. So, it can easily be said that there is a vast market potential for this mother-daughter co- shopping. This report will identify the market potentials, impacts, challenges, and solutions of mother-daughter co-shopping branding in Bangladesh. This report has been made based on 30 women interviews from different shopping malls in Dhaka and market analysis from various market reports on the domestic clothing market.
Prevention of collapse: Analysis and Design

Throughout the ages men were engaged in construction activities besides other pursuits - to build their dwellings and shelter other activities. They willed to make these structures safe and free from collapse and hence employed various methods and designs. However in spite of all precautions it is impossible to guarantee the safety from collapse and destruction due to unforeseen causes. Some of the causes could be related to human errors like: poor design, faulty construction, foundation failures, extraordinary loads, compromising on quality of building materials, workmanship for economic reasons, negligence in enforcing building codes and their compliance laxity in supervision, inspection and approval by authorities etc. the other cause could be gas explosions, soil liquefaction, terrorist attacks, material degradations etc. It is admitted that it is uneconomical to design the structure for unforeseen events unless they have a reasonable chance of occurrence. The project study “Prevention of collapse: Analysis and design” ispresumedto help understand the collapse behavior of structure and accordingly design to prevent drastic, severe failures and save human lives and property. Secondly the practices employed to ensure safety and prevent collapse are to incorporate redundancies in structure in the form of detailing, ductile designs, tying of elements at particular locations, provision of hinges and their connections. However this study is limited to understand the outcome of failures for G+5 = buildings for column loss on different storeys, the adjacent beams, the increased loads on columns and footings studied and its resistances to failures and accordingly some measures are noted to prevent further collapse and danger.

Published: November 2022

Diabetes is the most common disease in India that mostly affects adult people and reduces physical strength. Diabetes decreases insulin production in the human body that creates various physical disturbances such as damage to the heart, stroke, and others. In the past decades, medical treatments have followed long-acting insulin that reduces life expectancy rate and increases mortality rate in India. Along with that, in the present time, India's medical treatment has adopted the pharmaceutical composition of insulin to prevent diabetes and manage blood sugar in the human body. In this regard, this research study has selected some previous research papers to understand the importance of fast-acting insulin analogue to prevent diabetes. According to the secondary information, most of the medical treatment process in India has adopted fast-acting insulin analogue to prevent diabetes. Moreover, though fast-acting insulin analogue India reduces mortality rate and increases the life expectancy of adult people in India.
