Strategic Procurement Planning and Service Delivery of County Governments in Western Kenya Region
Authors: Wandera Kennedy Walubengo , Abuya Joseph Olang’o , Kiongera Fredrick Njehu
Published: April 2023

Ensuring the provision of public services in Kenya necessitates public expenditure through the procurement of goods, works, and services; therefore, the integrity of the entire process from procurement to delivery of goods, works, and services and their use portrays the strength of proper management of public resources and fidelity to the Kenyan constitution. Yet, because there is misuse of public monies in the majority of the Counties and an alleged 50% of it is tied to the public procurement processes used, corruption has been identified as a significant barrier to socio-economic growth in Kenya. The study's primary goal was to ascertain how County Governments in the Western Kenya Region's service delivery were affected by strategic procurement planning. The Mc Kinsey 7sframework model was used as the study's framework and positivist research methodology was used throughout. The study was carried out in the counties of Kakamega, Busia, Vihiga, and Bungoma in western Kenya. The 228 officials that made up the study's target population were divided into chief officers, directors, finance officers, and procurement officers.174 respondents were chosen from a sample using stratified random selection in the study. Via a questionnaire and interview schedules, primary data was acquired. A pilot study was conducted to evaluate the reliability and validity of the research instruments. The study utilized both descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the study established that Strategic Procurement Planning significantly accounted for 40.5% of the variance in Service Delivery of County Governments in Western Kenya (R²=0.405, P<0.05). Specifically, when Strategic Procurement Planning increases by one unit, service delivery changes by 0.636 units (β1=0.636, P<0.05). As a result, the F test resulted in a value of (1, 161) =108.908, P<0.05, supporting the model's ability to explain variance in the dependent variable. Among county governments in the western Kenya region, there is a large and favorable correlation between strategic procurement planning and service delivery. The analysis suggests that county governments ensure that strategic sourcing strategies are fully implemented and that they are produced in a reasonable timeframe because they are essential for initiating service delivery.
Impact of Irrigation on Rice Cultivation Methods among Small Farmers in North Central, Nigeria
Authors: Ogunwande Isaac Olusegun
Published: April 2023

Rice production and irrigation are inextricably linked, irrespective of the adopted cultivation system. The study was to examine the impact of irrigation on rice cultivation systems among rice farmers in north central Nigeria. The study involved the survey of 196 active rice farmers in the previous planting season using copies of well-structured questionnaires administered by trained enumerators, and selection of rice farmers was achieved through multistage sampling procedure. Specific objectives were to describe socioeconomic and input characteristics, profiling of irrigation water sources, identification of adopted source of irrigation water by rice farmers, assessment of cultivation system adoption and intensity of rice production and examining factors militating against access to seamless access to irrigation water. Various analytical tools were employed to achieve the objectives, such as descriptive statistics, multinomial logit (MLN), endogenous switching regression (EWR) and Likert Rating Scale (LRS). The result indicated that farm size, farming experience, and annual income were on average of 2.39ha, 23.6 years, and N 646,145.66k. Well water was the most used irrigation source by farmers, with the highest score of 85.2%. The multinomial logit result indicated that the use of boreholes was positively and significantly influenced by distance to water source and years of education, while the use of dams was influenced by gender and the number of cooperative trainings that rice farmers attended during the season. Switching regression results suggested that the correlation coefficient rho_1 and rho_2 were positively significant at p<0.01 and p 0.05, respectively, suggesting that an individual rice farmer who chose to adopt swamp cultivation system had lower rice output in the category than a random individual from the sample would have realized. Farmers were constrained by the shortage of water arising from keen competition for water between them and the herdsmen, while it was recommended that efforts be made to ensure that an early-maturing, drought-resistant, and short-duration rice variety be provided for optimal production that will keep pace with the food needs of an ever-increasing population.
Technical note: The recovery rate of free particulate organic matter from soil samples is strongly affected by the method of density fractionation
Authors: Büks Frederick
Published: April 2023

Abstract. Ultrasonication combined with density fractionation (USD)
is a method widely used to separate soil organic matter pools. A selective
fractionation of free particulate organic matter (fPOM) is crucial to avoid
co-extraction of retained fPOM along with occluded particulate organic
matter (oPOM). In the present work, artificial fPOM was extracted from two
mineral matrices, sandy and loamy, after applying different approaches for
merging a sample and dense medium. It is shown that pouring the dense
solution to the mineral matrices without mixing leads to low recovery,
whereas trickling the sample into the solution, rotating after fill-up or
applying a minimal and defined amount of ultrasound to swirl up the sample
causes nearly full recovery of the artificial fPOM. Applied to natural
soils, our results confirmed the low extraction rate of the unmixed
approach. It was also further shown that the rotational approach results in only a
slightly increased extraction rate, whereas the ultrasound approach leads to
a release of oPOM into the fPOM fraction due to disruption of soil
macro-aggregates. The trickle approach appears to be the most appropriate
way from the tested methods to achieve complete and selective extraction of
fPOM from natural soil samples.
Machine Learning for numerical weather and climate modelling: a review
Authors: de Burgh-Day Catherine Odelia , Leeuwenburg Tennessee
Published: April 2023

Abstract. Machine learning (ML) is increasing in popularity in the field of weather and climate modelling. Applications range from improved solvers and preconditioners, to parametrisation scheme emulation and replacement, and recently even to full ML-based weather and climate prediction models. While ML has been used in this space for more than 25 years, it is only in the last 10 or so years that progress has accelerated to the point that ML applications are becoming competitive with numerical knowledge-based alternatives. In this review, we provide a roughly chronological summary of the application of ML to aspects of weather and climate modelling from early publications through to the latest progress at the time of writing. We also provide an overview of key ML concepts and terms. Our aim is to provide a primer for researchers and model developers to rapidly familiarize and update themselves with the world of ML in the context of weather and climate models.

Abstract. Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution is still one of China's most important environmental issues, especially in northern cities during wintertime. In this study, intensive real-time measurement campaigns were conducted in Xi’an, Shijiazhuang, and Beijing to investigate the chemical characteristics and source contributions of PM2.5 and explore the formation progress of heavy pollution for policy implications. The chemical compositions of PM2.5 in the three cities were all dominated by organic aerosol (OA) and nitrate (NO3-). Results of source apportionment analyzed by the hybrid environmental receptor model (HERM) showed that the secondary nitrate plus sulfate contributed higher to PM2.5 compared to other primary sources. Biomass burning was the dominant primary source in the three pilot cities. The contribution of coal combustion to PM2.5 is non-negligible in Xi’an and Shijiazhuang but is no longer the important contributor in the capital city of Beijing due to the execution of a strict coal-banning policy. The potential formation mechanisms of secondary aerosol in three cities were further explored by establishing the correlations between the secondary nitrate plus sulfate and aerosol liquid water content (ALWC), and Ox (O3 + NO2), respectively. The results showed that photochemical oxidation and aqueous-phase reaction were two important pathways of secondary aerosol formation. According to the source variations, air pollution events that occurred in campaigns were classified into three types: biomass combustion dominated, secondary nitrate plus sulfate dominated, and a combination of primary and secondary sources. Additionally, this study compared the changes in chemical composition and source contributions of PM2.5 in past decades. The results suggested that the clean energy replacements for the rural household should be urgently encouraged to reduce the primary source emissions in northern China, and collaborative control on ozone and particulate matter need to be continuously promoted to weaken the atmosphere oxidation capacity for the sake of reducing secondary aerosol formation.

Abstract. During the StratoClim Geophysica campaign, air with total water mixing ratios up to 200 ppmv and ozone up to 250 ppbv was observed within the Asian summer monsoon anticyclone up to 1.7 km above the local cold point tropopause (CPT). To investigate the temporal evolution of enhanced water vapor being transported into the stratosphere, we conduct forward trajectory simulations using both a microphysical and an idealized freeze-drying model. The models are initialized at the measurement locations and the evolution of water vapor and ice is compared with satellite observations of MLS and CALIPSO. Our results show that these extremely high water vapor values observed above the CPT are very likely to undergo significant further freeze-drying due to experiencing extremely cold temperatures while circulating in the anticyclonic dehydration carousel. We also use the Lagrangian dry point (LDP) of the merged backward and forward trajectories to reconstruct the water vapor fields. The results show that the extremely high water vapor mixed in with the stratospheric air has a negligible impact on the overall water vapor budget. The LDPs are a better proxy for the large-scale water vapor distributions in the stratosphere during this period.
Exploring hail and lightning diagnostics over the Alpine-Adriatic region in a km-scale climate model
Authors: Cui Ruoyi , Ban Nikolina , Demory Marie-Estelle , Schär Christoph
Published: April 2023

Abstract. The north and south of the Alps, as well as the eastern shores of the Adriatic Sea, are hot spots of severe weather events, including hail and lightning associated with deep convection. With advancements in computing power, it has become feasible to simulate deep convection explicitly in climate models by decreasing the horizontal grid spacing to less than 4 km. These so-called kilometer-scale or convection-resolving models improve the representation of orography and reduce uncertainties associated with the use of deep convection parameterizations. In this study, we perform convection-resolving simulations for eight observed cases of severe convective events (seven with and one without observed hail) over the Alpine-Adriatic region. The simulations are performed with COSMO-crCLIM, a climate version of the Consortium for Small-scale Modeling (COSMO) regional model that runs on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) at a horizontal grid spacing of 2.2 km. For analyzing hail and lightning, we have explored the hail growth model (HAILCAST) and lightning potential index (LPI) diagnostics integrated with the COSMO-crCLIM model. Comparison with available high-resolution observations reveals good performance of the model in simulating heavy precipitation, hail, and lightning. By performing a detailed analysis of three of the case studies, we identified the importance of significant meteorological factors for heavy thunderstorms that were reproduced by the model. Among these are the moist unstable boundary layer and dry mid-level air, the topographic barrier, as well as an approaching upper-level trough and cold front. Although COSMO HAILCAST tends to underestimate the hail size on the ground, the results indicate that both HAILCAST and LPI are promising candidates for future climate research.
Sacrificio, vendetta, giustizia: Carlo I e il regicidio nella letteratura rivoluzionaria inglese negli anni delle guerre civili
Authors: Quatrini Francesco
Published: April 2023

The execution of Charles I Stuart on January 30, 1649, quickly came to be known throughout Europe: for the first time in England history, a king formally in charge had been put to death. Justifying such a decision became a fundamental task for the Parliamentarians. This paper aims to show that classical resistance theories were merged with a language and concepts belonging to the category of religious sacrifice in revolutionary literature. Such a blend between human justice and sacrifice was indeed one of the strategies to justify the execution of Charles I.
Fluidez sexual en varones rurales tabasqueños
Authors: Negrín Nieto Gerson
Published: April 2023

El concepto de “fluidez sexual” está referido a que las orientaciones y prácticas sexuales en una persona no se mantienen estáticas a lo largo de su vida. Bajo esta premisa, se realizó una investigación cualitativa para visibilizar una realidad que rompe los patrones de la masculinidad tradicional-heteronormada y para evidenciar actitudes y comportamientos sexuales, eróticos y/o afectivos entre varones —de una localidad rural en Tabasco, México— que no necesariamente se identifican como homosexuales o bisexuales. El contenido de esta obra se centra en brindar elementos teóricos provenientes de estudios del género y las sexualidades, pero contextualizándolos en una ruralidad que no había sido explorada para evidenciar esas otras formas de ser hombre —desde las prácticas erótico-sexuales— presentes en una sociedad imperativamente "doble-discursera", que apela a calificar de pecaminoso todo lo asociado a la sexualidad humana, principalmente aquello que disiente de los cánones marcados por la heterosexualidad. Si bien es difícil que los varones reconozcan que mantienen —o que en algún momento hayan tenido— una práctica sexual con otro varón, se puede asegurar que los millennials entrevistados exploraron situaciones —en su descubrimiento identitario personal y colectivo— que evidencia esa fluidez sexual, principalmente durante su adolescencia. No obstante, en ese proceso enfrentaron frustración e incluso culpa, las cuales intentan ocultar bajo múltiples máscaras en sus interacciones sociales cotidianas.

Published: April 2023

Myositis ossificans occurs extremely rare in the wrist and hand. Its clinical manifestations and prognosis differ significantly in comparison to the classical localizations on the thigh or shoulder. It is difficult to diagnose this kind of disease during the early stages of the pathological process. The article presents a clinical case of successful treatment of a patient with myositis ossificans of the lumbricals of the hand. Myositis ossificans in our case is shown not just through local symptoms, but also by clinical neuropathy in the median nerve. A review of the available literature on this topic over the past 40 years is presented.
Double standard in clinical research
Authors: Oliveira Nilceu José
Published: April 2023

In the development of clinical research, the social conditions of the societies involved must be taken into account, such as vulnerability and social vulnerability. The contexts of conflicts of interest, whether economic or academic, must also be considered. Another highlight is related to the so-called moral imperialism, a condition in which societies impose their moral standards on others, not considering cultural differences, geographical conditions and social development. Thus, the “double ethical standard” in research imposes a form of imperialism of principles, values, moral relativism and na exclusively economic vision above all. The principles of ethics in biomedical research promulgated by international consensus statements are not sufficient to protect the most vulnerable societies, especially the poorest countries. The ethical principles that govern clinical research need to be translated into procedures and practices that take into account the different cultural aspects and socioeconomic resources of societies. Research participants cannot just bear the risks and not reap the benefits. There are arguments that propose the double standard as a violation of human rights, especially for not taking into account the principles of the Universal Declaration of Bioethics and Human Rights of UNESCO, approved by consensus by the countries in 2005. The existence of a “strong” system ethical evaluation of research projects, with social participation, especially in local ethics committees in the most vulnerable societies, is a minimum condition for the protection of people and societies.

Asymmetrical Update of Beliefs About Future Outcomes is Driven by Outcome Valence and Social Group Membership
Authors: Dricu Mihai , Bührer Stephanie , Moser Dominik A. , Aue Tatjana
Published: April 2023

People are eager to update their beliefs, such as a perceived risk, if they receive information that is better than expected but are reluctant to do so when the evidence is unfavourable. When estimating the likelihood of future outcomes, this phenomenon of asymmetrical belief update helps generate and maintain personal optimism bias. In this study, we investigated whether asymmetrical belief update also extends to estimating the future of other individuals. Specifically, we prompted respondents to assess the perceived likelihood of three social targets experiencing future positive and negative events: An in-group, a mild out-group, and an extreme out-group. We then provided the respondents with feedback about the base rates of those events in the general population and prompted them to re-assess their initial estimates for all social targets. Respondents expected more positive than negative outcomes for the in-group and the mild out-group, but more negative outcomes for the extreme out-group. We also found an asymmetrical update of beliefs contingent on the valence of the future event and the social target. For negative outcomes, respondents updated more following good news than bad news, particularly for the mild out-group. For positive outcomes, respondents equally updated their beliefs following good news and bad news for the in-group and the mild out-group. However, they updated their beliefs significantly more following bad news than good news for the extreme out-group member. Our data thus reveal the strong influence of social stereotypes on future expectancies for others.

Published: April 2023

We have dealt with some aspects of curvature and normal curvature. The purpose of this research is to find the normal curvature numerically in the cylindrical coordinate system using Matlab. Matlab is an interactive working environment that allows users to perform fairly complex computational tasks using only a few commands. We followed the Applied Mathematical method using a new mathematical technique (Matlab) and we found that finding the normal curvature in a cylindrical coordinate system using a new mathematical technique is more accurate and faster than numerical finding.
THE IMPACT OF NOCTURIA ON MORTALITY : A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Jaya Amal Rizki
Published: April 2023

The International Classification of Sleep Disorders (ICS) describes nocturia as "voiding that occurs during the main sleep period". However, there are some medical specialists who do not believe that feeling one emptiness while sleeping qualifies as a clinically important occurrence. They believe that this viewpoint is supported by the evidence. This might be owing to the fact that some studies have indicated that having fewer than two voids every night is not an issue, whilst other studies have found that having more than two voids every night can reduce quality of life. Having fewer than two voids every night is not a problem. Having more than two voids every night is a problem. The most common and bothersome symptom related to urination is called nocturia. 10 million people in the United States suffer with nocturia, yet only 1.5 million get treated for it. This annoys seventy percent of individuals over the age of thirty who get up at least twice throughout the night to use the toilet. People who suffer from the illness known as nocturnal enuresis are characterized by their inability to recognize when they have a full bladder and their involuntary need to empty while sleeping. Nocturia is quite similar to nocturnal frequency, with the exception that sleep comes before and after episodes of urination. Even though voiding diaries call it nocturia, getting up in the middle of the night for any reason other than to urinate is not considered to be nocturia.  Convenience void. Nocturia is frequently caused by overactive bladders rather than illnesses of the urinary system. Patients who experienced urine urgency in the afternoon were also likely to have nocturia. Mortality is increased in patients with nocturia who have three or more nocturnal voids per night. The condition known as nocturia has been linked to an increased risk of death. Those who have had nocturia more than three times are at an increased risk of mortality.

Published: April 2023

This study aims to deepen knowledge about the direct effects of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and market orientation (MO) on hospital performance using the structural equation modeling partial least squares (PLS-SEM) model. This research is a quantitative, non-experimental, and descriptive study using the PLS-SEM statistical technique. The PLS-SEM results show that the first hypothesis of market orientation does not have a direct effect on hospital performance with a t-statistic value of 1.29 <1.96 with a p-value of 0.018 <0.05. The second hypothesis, entrepreneurial orientation has a direct effect on hospital performance t-statistic 10, 85> 1.96 with a p-value <0.005 so that the second hypothesis is declared accepted. The results show sufficient evidence that EO positively affects hospital performance. Likewise, the impact of EO on hospital performance is positive either directly. Regarding managerial implications, the study provides managers with insight into the process of strategy formation and decision-making, emphasizing the importance of both encouraging the development of EO capabilities and focusing efforts on being proactive and innovative to improve hospital performance.

Published: April 2023

Education in the 21st century calls for more student-centered learning systems to promote innovation and creativity skills over compliance and conformity attitudes. Student active engagement is one main feature of a student-centered learning system. In a country with a low literacy rate, this study looked at the effects of teaching strategies and lecturers’ classroom behavior on student involvement. Can we introduce a student-centered learning system in this kind of country? Using a survey method, this study collected the perception of undergraduate students from various universities in Indonesia. Online survey was used to capture student perceptions on learnings methods, lectures behavior and student engagement. This study found that learning method and lecturers’ behavior influenced student engagement in the learning process. This study adds to the literature on learning experiences for students. We found ways to increase and improve student engagement in low literacy-ranking nations.
The Effect of Brand Image and Celebrity Influencers towards Consumer Purchase Intention of ERIGO Store
Authors: Phwa Kanaya Audy , Putri Maria Ervania Eka
Published: April 2023

Exacerbated by mass media and modern digital marketing, the role of celebrity influence is considered paramount in driving forward purchase intention and in building a strong brand image. However, studies for this topic provide mixed results, with very few being conducted within the geographical context of Indonesia. This paper surveys whether these factors (celebrity influence; brand image) significantly affect Indonesian respondents’ purchase decision for the local brand, ERIGO. An online survey questionnaire was developed using multiple perceptional scales with prevalidated survey items, as taken from previous research. The results show that neither brand image nor celebrity influence have a positive significant impact on purchase decision for respondents in Indonesia. The suggested consumer purchase intention study will contribute to the growing body of knowledge aimed at understanding behavior of consumer purchase intention in Indonesia.
Mapping the Relationships between Price Discount, Perceived Quality, and Intention to Purchase Impulsively via e-Commerce
Authors: Wanda Meisya , Pasaribu Pananda
Published: April 2023

The study aimed to analyze the relationships between price discounts, impulsive purchasing behavior, and perceived quality. This study collected primary data from respondents via questionnaires. Using the Smart PLS tools, this study uses the t-test and data regression to validate the hypothesis. The perceived quality factor performed an essential mediating effect in the relationship between price discounts and impulsive buying. When the direct effect of price discounts on impulsive buying was investigated, it was discovered that price discounts have no effect on people’s impulsive purchase. However, when perceived quality served as a mediator, the feelings created by a price discount led to a positive perception of product and give significant impact on impulsive buying behavior.
‘We can’t see your slides!’ Undergraduate psychology students’ perceptions of emergency remote teaching
Authors: O’Connor Patrick A. , Lee Ruth
Published: April 2023

The Covid-19 pandemic precipitated a national lockdown, and the implementation of Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) in higher education (HE), but there is a gap in the literature in terms of how Psychology students, studying a single-honours degree in the UK, responded to ERT for practical lab classes. The aim of this study was to assess the experiences of first year Psychology students undertaking practical lab classes via ERT. Ninety-one participants completed a Qualtrics survey asking them to record challenges to engaging in lab classes delivered through ERT, and to suggest improvements for these. Responses were analyzed using Thematic analysis. A novel finding in the study was that a large proportion students discussed issues relating to the structure, format and content of practical classes, to a greater extent than other issues reported in similar studies involving psychology students (e.g. communication, motivational and digital issues). Other novel findings were that students either witnessed or admitted to engagement in social loafing occurred during online group activities, and there was disagreement amongst students regarding the role of groupwork in improving ERT. These results have implications for online teaching provision in higher education institutions.
The influence of prior experience with mathematics and A-Level science subjects on statistics anxiety in undergraduate psychology students
Authors: McDonald Stephanie , Barnard Megan P.
Published: April 2023

Statistics is a core subject in the psychology undergraduate curriculum and is often associated with increased anxiety among learners. The aim of this study was to identify factors relating to statistics anxiety, and specifically, how prior experiences in mathematics and A-Level science qualifications may influence students’ perceptions as they begin their undergraduate course. Four hundred and eighty-seven first year psychology students filled in an online survey with a range of quantitative and qualitative measures. Number of science A-Level subjects studied at school was a significant negative predictor of interpretation anxiety, and a positive predictor of perceived worth of statistics and perceived self-concept. Students without a mathematics qualification felt at a disadvantage in studying statistics in their degree overall and compared to their peers. Findings provide key insights into students’ specific concerns and highlight the benefits of studying science subjects in secondary education prior to a psychology undergraduate degree.

Objetivo. Evaluar la emergencia de semillas de Moringa oleifera recubiertas con barro, biochar y enriquecidos con diferentes nutrientes. Materiales y métodos. Se utilizaron dos semillas M. oleifera por bola. El biochar (B) provenía de podas de limón mexicano (Citrus aurantifolia). Se utilizó un diseño completamente al azar con siete tratamientos: T1 siembra directa (SD), el resto contenían barro asociados a T2 Vermicomposta (Vc), T3 Mantillo (M), T4 Biochar molienda manual [Bmma] + microrganismos nativos [MO] (BmmaMO), T5 Bmma + lixiviados de lombriz [L] (BmmaL), T6 Biochar molienda mecánica (Bmme) + microrganismos nativos (BmmeMO) y T7 Bmme + lixiviados (BmmeL) en bolsas como macetas con 15 repeticiones por tratamiento. Resultados. El tratamiento de BmmaMO mostró la más rápida emergencia de plántulas con 46.7% a los tres días, sin emergencia en el resto de los tratamientos y al quinto día este tratamiento tuvo 93.3% de plántulas emergidas, superior estadísticamente al resto, excepto con BmmaL. La siembra directa y el mantillo tuvieron a los seis días valores de emergencia de 26.7 y 13.3%, respectivamente. La mayor emergencia se logró en vermicomposta con 83.5% y la menor con BmmeL con 36.5% a los 15 días, el resto compartieron similitud estadística. Conclusión. El uso de biochar con molienda manual enriquecido con microorganismos nativos potencializa la emergencia a través de las bolas de semillas de Moringa oleifera y el biochar con molienda mecánica afecta negativamente este proceso. Las bolas con vermicomposta también son una opción por su alta emergencia.

Published: April 2023

Temperature spike during ovulation is one of the methods of detecting ovulation in women thus aiding fertility awareness. Some of the methods of ovulation detection are intrusive while some methods of temperature measurements are not convenient especially when temperature has to be measured for a long period of time. This research is therefore focused on development of on-the-skin temperature measuring devices using locally available tools and human resources; provision of a non-intrusive temperature measuring device that is convenient for use especially when temperature has to be measured for a long period of time and validation of the developed device with other standard measuring tools as a potential device for ovulation detection. Results obtained indicate that measurement of the automated temperature device calibrated against standard mercury-in-glass thermometer returned a correlation coefficient of 0.790996276; comparison with clinical and infrared thermometer revealed that 45 percent of the 50 respondents subscribed to the use of the device due to the comfort experienced and ease of use. The research concludes that human skin can be a possible means of obtaining accurate temperature with potential for ovulation detection. The developed device is convenient, non-intrusive, portable and easy to use especially when thermometer needs to be held in place to measure temperature for a period of time. Other possible applications include temperature measurements for special needs such as babies, the aged and the physically challenged.

Start-up Village Entrepreneurship Program (SVEP) is one of the world’s most extensive village entrepreneurship programmes to transform rural India into an entrepreneurial hub. This paper performs the first impact evaluation of this scheme in one of the implementing blocks of Madhya Pradesh. The study uses mixed-method research to complete the programmatic, quantitative and qualitative analysis, thereby highlighting the bottlenecks in the existing policy from the grassroots. As per the quantitative analysis, the scheme has achieved a 45.3 per cent decrease in migration. 84.2 per cent of respondents reported an increase in monthly food consumption, and 53.5 per cent of respondents reported improvement in their socio-economic condition. Moreover, the case narratives and cross-case analysis provide the beneficiaries' perception of the scheme and how SVEP has created an entrepreneurial attitude among women. The study also focuses on delivering programmatic suggestions to overcome the scheme's bottlenecks and build a rural startup ecosystem.
Eficiência no gerenciamento dos resíduos da construção civil com a adoção do sistema integrado de bolsa de resíduos no Brasil
Authors: Severo Elisabeth Maria Ferreira , De Sousa Hipólito José Campos
Published: April 2023

A Lei Federal Nº 12.305/2010 que dispõe sobre a Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos, estabelece que: “Resíduos da Construção Civil (RCC) são originados nas construções, reformas, reparos e demolições de obras, bem como os resultantes de preparação e escavação de terrenos para construções”. Além disso, a legislação especifica a responsabilidade dos geradores de resíduos pela coleta, transporte, transbordo e destinação final, objetivando a redução, a reutilização, a reciclagem, tratamento adequado dos resíduos e um menor impacto ambiental. Atualmente, algumas federações das indústrias dispõem de plataformas que objetivam fomentar e facilitar as transações relacionadas aos resíduos produzidos pelas suas associadas, entretanto, a maioria opera de forma isolada. A Confederação Nacional das Indústrias-CNI criou uma plataforma “web” desenvolvida para o funcionamento integrado que permite a adesão pelas federações das indústrias estaduais. Das vinte e sete unidades federativas do Brasil (Distrito Federal e vinte e seis Estados), os Estados de São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina e Mato Grosso do Sul (cerca 19% do total) dispõem de Bolsa de Recicláveis/Resíduos isoladas (não integradas) e somente os Estados do Paraná, Minas Gerais, Bahia e Sergipe (15%) participam do Sistema Integrado de Bolsa de Resíduos – SIBR da Confederação Nacional das Indústrias. Esta pesquisa tem o objetivo de apresentar os pontos positivos do sistema integrado e propor a utilização do SIBR em todas as unidades federativas do Brasil. Inicialmente, verificou-se que o sistema SIBR além de facilitar e possibilitar a efetivação de transações tais como a intermediação da venda, a troca, a doação de materiais / produtos, propicia também a redução de custos e de tempo, em decorrência da integração, contribuindo também com a destinação correta dos resíduos e, consequentemente com a preservação ambiental.
