Authors: - Poonam Juneja , - Parul Yadav , - Mansi Dhingra , - Vaishali Bhagauli
Published: November 2023

Science has rendered its blessings to human kind in numerous ways. The sector of agriculture demands workers with great physical strength, rendering it difficult for the disabled to contribute productively. The solution lies in a hydroponic garden. A large variety of plants, such as tomatoes, lady’s finger, brinjal, chillies, several types of leafy vegetables, pineapples, etc. can be grown hydroponically. Combining sustainable technology and modern farming techniques opens up new big business opportunities. All it requires is a small piece of land and a few sensors to control and monitor the growth of plants, which could be done with very little physical effort. This will generate a supportive environment for PwDs, creating employment opportunities and enabling them to participate in mainstream economy of their nation. Smart farming, hydroponic gardening, with no soil and a controlled environment is rapidly becoming a favourite and has a promising market. The Indian hydroponic market is expected to grow at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 13.53 per cent between 2020-2027, with the corresponding growth in the global market estimated at just half at ~6.8 percent. In addition, lab tests have shown that hydroponic produce is nutritionally either as good or even better than organic in many cases.
The methodology involves using a microcontroller namely Arduino and simulating circuits using online software called Tinkercad. Arduino helps to keep track of physical parameters like temperature, electrical conductivity of water and distance of water surface from a reference point for a hydroponics system. All the physical parameters can be reflected on a computer screen and easily controlled and handled, even by people with disabilities. Use of technology in this manner can be applied for empowering workers with disabilities in field of agriculture.

Published: November 2023

A clean terrain isn't an option but a necessity. And a collaborative consummation of this supreme verity is necessary if at all consecutive generations are to be blessed with a world worth living in. And much as it suits us to procrastinate a factual attempt to nurture our atmosphere back to a semblance of chastity, nature will show no consideration. Sustainability is the key to precluding or reducing the effect of environmental issues. For humans to live sustainably, the Earth's coffers must be used at a rate at which they can be renewed. This is where Green Technology comes by. Green Technology is a continuously evolving group of styles, accoutrements, ways and products that puts a check on the dangerous goods on natural coffers. marketable enterprises draw a handsome share of their inputs from nature and per force owe it back to nature to make all possible trouble to control and gradationally reduce its defilement. Green Marketing has surfaced as a abstract and sustainable tool for diligence to balance their business conditioning with a mindset of protection of our natural terrain. Green Marketing strategies are espoused by enterprises to secure competitive advantage over their challengers by offering recyclable, renewable, and applicable products to their guests. This paper aims at finding out how green marketing strategies have surfaced as a sustainable tool for businesses, especially in the Indian environment. It also aims at taking stock of the mindfulness regarding green marketing, especially among the youth.

This project proposes a smart car parking system that utilizes Arduino UNO, a servo motor,
a 16x2 i2c LCD display, two IR sensors (one at the entry and the other at the exit), a PAM
8403 Amp, and a speaker to inform the user about the availability of parking slots. The
system works by detecting the presence of a car using the IR sensors and updating the display
to show the number of available slots. The servo motor controls the barrier at the entry and
exit, while the PAM 8403 Amp and speaker provide voice notifications to guide the driver
through the parking process. This system simplifies the parking process by providing real-
time information and voice guidance, enhancing the overall parking experience.
Mutual Legal Assistance in Combating Cybercrimes in the East African Community
Authors: - Essau Abraham Sengo
Published: November 2023

This paper is devoted to exposing the challenges facing the East African Community in fighting computer crimes. Several comparisons were made where Kenya, Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda, and Tanzania were used as focal points in examining the effort and mutual assistance in fighting cybercrimes. It was, however, revealed that computer crime has increased, and so have the computer cyber challenges. Looking into the bigger picture of cyber offences around the world, Africa, especially the East Africa Community, is not immune to cyberattacks, and henceforth, there is a dire need for a common understanding of such mischief at the global and regional levels.
This thesis depicts the solution to these challenges, including global legislation and the mutual assistance of all states. Although currently there is no global legislation to counter transnational cyber offences, East Africa, on the other hand, has shown a way through its EAC Treaty, which is not even effective in deploring mutual and joint efforts in addressing the problem of cybercrimes in the whole of East Africa. This thesis has given credit to Rwanda as a member of the EAC, which has good and comprehensive legislation dealing with computer crimes and is the only single-country effort in the absence of a majority. Likewise, this thesis has expounded on the existing gap in Chapter 4, which has addressed computer crime in the EAC, and recommendations were made, especially to learn from other countries that have succeeded in fighting computer crimes, including Rwanda. The study deployed qualitative research methods as an alternative to gathering information. The reason was that qualitative research improves a substantial part of the law, which could result in achieving the broader goal of the study.

Enacting Power
Authors: Handler Jerome S. , Bilby Kenneth M.
Published: November 2023

More than two and a half centuries after it was first outlawed in Jamaica in 1760, obeah remains illegal in most territories of the former British West Indies. Yet, opinions on the meaning and essential nature of this controversial Afro-Caribbean spiritual phenomenon vary widely. While many contemporary West Indians hold negative views of obeah, viewing it as evil witchcraft or sorcery, others point to its widespread use in healing, protection from harm and solving a wide range of everyday problems – positive views that were also commonly held by enslaved West Indians in earlier generations. Despite the scholarly attention obeah has received, relatively little has been written about the many laws enacted against it in different territories at different periods. Offering a perspective on obeah that challenges conventional conceptions of this widely misunderstood aspect of West Indian society and culture, the core of this book is a detailed examination of anti-obeah laws, and their socio-political implications, in seventeen jurisdictions of the English-speaking Caribbean from the period of slavery to the present. Aside from chronologically tracing in each territory the development of these laws and their major provisions, the book also examines how anti-obeah legislation has helped to create and perpetuate cultural distortions that resound into the present. Anti-obeah legislation, particularly after the end of slavery in the nineteenth century, played a central role in creating public misunderstandings of the meaning and role of obeah among the West Indian masses, and led to the stigmatization and devaluation among future generations of African-derived spiritual beliefs and practices.

Essays on the Theory of Plantation Economy
Authors: Best Lloyd , Levitt Kari Polanyi
Published: November 2023

This important book provides a fascinating insight into the conceptual underpinnings of the theory of plantation economy initiated by Lloyd Best and Kari Levitt in the 1960s as a basis for analysing the nature of the Caribbean economy. While acknowledging an intellectual debt to Latin American structuralists and also to the work of Dudley Seers and William Demas, the authors develop an original analytical framework as a counter to more “universalist” models which failed to take account of the Caribbean reality. Their work identifies the main features of the plantation economy as a hinterland characterized by subordination and dependency on the dominant metropole. Distinguishing between hinterlands of conquest, settlement and exploitation, Best and Levitt analyse the rules that determine this complex relationship with the metropole. Their economic theories are presented against a background of the historical factors that gave rise to the “structural continuity” of Caribbean economies and which now impede meaningful structural transformation.

Authors: Mongkoltawat Phunsa , Areepong Yupaporn , Sukparungsee Saowanit
Published: November 2023

The Extended Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (Extended EWMA) control chart is one of the control charts that can rapidly detect a minor shift. Using the average run length (ARL), the control charts' effectiveness can be evaluated. This research aims to derive the explicit formulations for the ARL on one-sided and two-sided Extend EWMA control charts for the MA(1) model with exponential white noise, as they have not been previously presented. The analytical solution accuracy was determined and compared to the numerical integral equation (NIE) method. The results indicate that the ARL calculated using the explicit formula and the NIE method are nearly identical, demonstrating the validity of the explicit formula. In addition, this study is extended to compare the performance with the Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) control chart. The results show that the Extended EWMA control chart has superior efficacy to the EWMA control chart. To demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method, the analytical solution of ARL is finally applied to real-world data on Thailand's monthly fuel price.

Published: November 2023

Lunar swirls have been traditionally considered to be unaffected by topographic changes. Yet, correlations between areas of high albedo and lower elevations are observed in regions of the Mare Ingenii swirl. Here, we apply similar techniques used at Mare Ingenii to determine if correlations between swirl units and topography also exist within Reiner Gamma. We generate topography using the techniques of stereophotoclinometry to Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera Narrow Angle Camera images to derive meter- to submeter-scale topography. We choose a 50 km2 study region with a 2.6 m ground sample distance (GSD), and within this region there is a 1 km2 subregion with a 0.8 m GSD. We use surface reflectance data at multiple viewing geometries to classify these regions into different swirl units using machine learning techniques. Statistical analyses of the data show mean height variations between on- and off-swirl of ∼4 m, with on-swirl at a lower elevation. It is not clear how this scale of elevation difference influences the formation of swirl units, but it supports postulations of dust migration and magnetic sorting contributing to their formation.

Computation of nonparametric, mixed effects, maximum likelihood, biosensor data based-estimators for the distributions of random parameters in an abstract parabolic model for the transdermal transport of alcohol
Authors: Asserian Lernik , Luczak Susan E. , Rosen I. G.
Published: November 2023

The existence and consistency of a maximum likelihood estimator for the joint probability distribution of random parameters in discrete-time abstract parabolic systems was established by taking a nonparametric approach in the context of a mixed effects statistical model using a Prohorov metric framework on a set of feasible measures. A theoretical convergence result for a finite dimensional approximation scheme for computing the maximum likelihood estimator was also established and the efficacy of the approach was demonstrated by applying the scheme to the transdermal transport of alcohol modeled by a random parabolic partial differential equation (PDE). Numerical studies included show that the maximum likelihood estimator is statistically consistent, demonstrated by the convergence of the estimated distribution to the "true" distribution in an example involving simulated data. The algorithm developed was then applied to two datasets collected using two different transdermal alcohol biosensors. Using the leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV) method, we found an estimate for the distribution of the random parameters based on a training set. The input from a test drinking episode was then used to quantify the uncertainty propagated from the random parameters to the output of the model in the form of a $ 95% $ error band surrounding the estimated output signal.
Capital reallocation and the cyclicality of aggregate productivity
Authors: Cooper Russell W. , Schott Immo
Published: November 2023

Capital reallocation between firms is procyclical and leads to variations in measured aggregate productivity. In this paper, we ask how much of the cyclical variation in measured productivity is the consequence of capital reallocation. We build a heterogeneous‐firm model to study the effects of exogenous shocks to total factor productivity (TFP) and to the costs of reallocation. These shocks cause an endogenous cyclicality of measured aggregate productivity. Only a model driven by exogenous TFP shocks is able to generate both data‐consistent cyclical movements in reallocation and sizeable variations in measured aggregate productivity. We find that capital reallocation does not play a major role in amplifying aggregate productivity variations over the business cycle.
The importance of supply and demand for oil prices: Evidence from non‐Gaussianity
Authors: Braun Robin
Published: November 2023

When quantifying the importance of supply and demand for oil price fluctuations, a wide range of estimates have been reported. Models identified via a sharp upper bound on the short‐run price elasticity of supply find supply shocks to be minor drivers. In turn, when replacing the upper bound with a weakly informative prior, supply shocks turn out to be substantially more important. In this paper, I revisit the evidence in a model that combines weakly informative priors with identification by non‐Gaussianity. For this purpose, a SVAR is developed where the unknown distributions of the structural shocks are modeled nonparametrically. The empirical findings suggest that once identification by non‐Gaussianity is incorporated into the model, posterior mass of the short‐run oil supply elasticity shifts toward zero and oil supply shocks become minor drivers of oil prices. In terms of contributions to the forecast error variance of oil prices, the model arrives at median estimates of just 6% over a 16‐month horizon.

Authors: Chan Vanessa Hiu Ying , Chiu Dickson K. W.
Published: November 2023

The Chinese government has been promoting reading education recently, as previous studies showed reading improves students' academic performance. More citizens with higher academic achievement could contribute more to developing more advanced technology. Thus, the National Reading Plan is established to give guidelines for school libraries to cooperate with NGOs in setting up reading programs. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a reading curriculum in increasing the intrinsic and extrinsic reading motivations of disadvantaged students in rural areas and selects Reading Dreams Foundation, a charity funding from Hong Kong to serve rural China, as the case. This study uses the concepts of the 6C's of motivation (i.e., choice, challenge, control, collaboration, construction meaning, and consequences) for evaluation. Traditional and technological means are reviewed in the core reading lessons, library, and afterschool activities. A technology-enhanced reading curriculum integrated with the ideas of 6 C is designed and proposed for funding to enhance students' motivations further.

Academic and Educational Transformation Projects
Authors: Trad Antoine Toni
Published: November 2023

Iterative academic (and educational) transformation projects (ATP) are fundamental for the enhancements of academic institutions. But ATPs are very complex, because of the reality of the adoption of a holistic concept, which can be considered as a polymathic concept. A polymathic concept promotes the development of an interdisciplinary core and project-based learning for future transformation project's managers and architects. This chapter proposes the applied holistic and poly-mathematical model (AHMM) for ATPs (AHMM4ATP), which is a variant of the author's AHMM and research works. The AHMM4ATP-based RTBLP combines various educational fields that can include business engineering/transformation, enterprise (re)organization, societal changes, business/finance, AI, mathematics, and geopolitical contexts. This research chapter is another topic in the author's research and development project (RDP). The RDP is the continuation of previous works and findings that are used to prove RTBLP's feasibility and to offer a polymathics' curriculum for the secondary school cycle.

This chapter investigates the use of ICT in education. In particular, the usage of GeoGebra as the geometrical instruction aids in the visualization of concepts, and this chapter aids in inspiring students and instructors throughout the teaching and learning process. The primary purpose of this work is to determine the effective use of GeoGebra in teaching calculus and statistical concepts among economics students whose performance is less satisfactory in math. These can be achieved by the aforementioned goals, i.e., by identifying the pupils whose performance is poor. They could be divided into two groups: research group who learns calculus and statistical concepts using GeoGebra and conventional group who learns the same concepts by traditional way of teaching. This chapter demonstrates that ICT-based learning yields superior results than conventional teaching methodology.
Mastering Matters of the Mane
Authors: Francis Kula A.
Published: November 2023

Women of color have moved into professional roles to become engineers, lawyers, scientists, pilots, politicians, doctors, and professors. Despite the increase of women in professional settings, their proficiency has been put to the test. How Black women choose to wear their hair is a simple but significant phenomenon. Too often, women of color sacrifice their hairstyle to assimilate into their profession. Diversity among members in professional organizations might be advanced as the goal. With this socialized preference towards mainstream congruence, Black women have had to conform to the majority White society. This chapter looks at a professional woman of color, and her life-long journey to determine her hair as a significant part of her identity. Through a reflection on the author's hair life, this chapter discusses how imagery, mainstream culture, biases and expectations have played into her professional life. This chapter also discusses how future generations of professional women of color see contemporary accomplished women, and how they expect the world will see them.
Shame to Pride
Authors: Jenkins Nicole Dezrea
Published: November 2023

In this chapter, the author discusses a journey of natural hair acceptance. As a child, she struggled with not understanding how to care for her hair and the desire to have straight hair. She shares the challenges of conforming to Eurocentric beauty standards in institutions that require uniformity, such as cheerleading and military service in the United States Air Force. These experiences led her to focus on natural hair in her graduate studies. She discusses the challenges of wearing natural hair in graduate school and how discussions of professionalism and hair left her feeling isolated yet energized. Ultimately, she shares her recent experience with embracing her natural hair as a researcher and professional. As an assistant professor at a prestigious HBCU, she has increasingly fallen in love with her and other women's natural hair. She teaches students about the CROWN Act and has continued her research on natural hair experiences. Today, she credits her newfound confidence to spaces and people that accept and celebrate Black beauty and natural hair.
Seeing Myself Through the Wild Fire

Published: November 2023

Rowe (2022) stated, “Perhaps a specific challenge for the advancement of Black women in higher education is correlated to how Black women are understood and assessed based on hair and hair texture” (p. 32). While higher education is often viewed as an institution to acquire new knowledge and understanding, cultivating a space of diversity and equality, the author's personal experience and the stories of other women in Rowe's article highlight the discrimination that exists while employed in higher education. In utilizing the conceptual framework of intersectionality, this chapter recounts the lived experience of a Black woman's struggle with unacceptance in higher education while pursuing her own self-acceptance. It tells the story of how her hair journey was one of the conflicting feelings of much pain, especially when the choice to go natural was not chosen by the one who had to represent it.
An Implemented Example of XKMS With Web Services
Authors: Pawar Sumathi , Ankitha  , Geetha V.
Published: November 2023

Web service is a loosely coupled system, which gets remote request for a particular service and returns results after executing that service. The data transfer of the web service is a request/response system which carries input parameters through request message and carries executed results of the web services. Both request and response messages are carried in the form of SOAP message which is XML based. XML signature and XML encryption are two methods of securing data transfer through simple access protocol (SOAP) messages from web services. The main goal of the XKMS initiative is to make it possible to create XML-based trust web services for handling and administration of PKI-based cryptographic keys. By making it possible to develop such web services, XKMS helps to simplify working with PKI and makes it simpler for web services to integrate security features into their programmes. This chapter provides a thorough working of the implemented draught of the W3C working group's XKMS specification.
