Impact of layering, sequencing, and integration approaches in mitigating food and nutrition insecurity in Zimbabwe
Authors: Ndlovu Nomagugu , Mafuratidze Clayton 
Published: July 2024

The reduction in food production due to climate shock has contributed to food and nutrition insecurity, malnutrition, and diet-related non-communicable diseases. There is an urgent need for adaptation measures to manage the impact of climate change on communities. Developing resilience in food and nutrition security remains a novel concept. The aim of the study was to determine the impact of Layering, Sequencing and Integration (LSI) of different interventions on food and nutrition outcomes among smallholder farmers. Participants were drawn from three wards in the Zvishavane District of the Midlands province in Zimbabwe. A total of 301 randomly chosen participants were interviewed. A mixed methodology using quantitative and qualitative tools was used to collect the data. The majority (95,3%) of the study participants had an acceptable diet based on the food consumption score (77,1%), with a high dietary diversity score, and 48,2% had an annual cereal surplus. A total of 69,1% of participants had no reduced coping strategies. Economic shocks (34,9%) were most severe, followed by climate-induced shocks (24,6%). The LSI approach can potentially increase diversified food production levels, thereby increasing access to diverse foods and resulting in improved food and nutrition security outcomes for a given community.

Authors: Hanafi Marsyita , Shafie Siti Mariam , Ibrahim Zarina 
Published: July 2024

Chilli is one of the world's most widely grown crops. Among all of the chilli variants, C. annuum and C. frustescents are the most prevalent and consistently liked variants in Asia, where it is appreciated for its strong taste and pungency. Nevertheless, harvesting at the proper ripening stage according to their colour, size, and texture is essential to ensure the best quality, marketability, and shelf life. Currently, visual inspection is the primary method used by farmers, which is time-consuming and complicated. Even though automated chilli classification using computer vision and intelligent methods has received scholars' attention, the classification of C. annuum and C. frustescents ripening stages using deep learning models has not been extensively studied. Hence, this study aims to investigate the effectiveness of three deep learning models, namely EfficientNetB0, VGG16 and ResNet50, in classifying chilli ripening stages into unripe, ripe, and overripe classes. We also introduce a huge dataset comprising 9,022 images of C. annuum and C. frustescents chilli under various growth stages and imaging conditions which provides sufficient samples for the deep learning modelling. The experimental results show that the ResNet50 model outperforms other models with more than 95% accuracy for all classes.
ABSTRAK: Cili merupakan salah satu tanaman terbanyak ditanam di dunia. Antara semua varian cili, C. annuum dan C. frustescents adalah yang paling meluas ditanam dan merupakan varian paling pedas di Asia, kerana rasanya yang kuat. Namun begitu, penuaian pada peringkat cili matang mengikut warna, saiz dan teksturnya adalah penting bagi memastikan kualiti, kebolehpasaran dan jangka hayat terbaik. Pada masa ini, pemeriksaan visual adalah kaedah utama yang diguna pakai petani bagi memeriksa cili, tetapi ia memakan masa dan rumit. Walaupun pengelasan cili secara automatik menguna pakai kaedah komputer dan pintar mendapat perhatian sarjana, kajian tentang klasifikasi cili jenis C. annuum dan C. frustescent pada peringkat matang menggunakan model pembelajaran mendalam masih belum begitu meluas. Oleh itu, kajian ini bertujuan bagi mengkaji keberkesanan tiga model pembelajaran mendalam, iaitu EfficientNetB0, VGG16 dan ResNet50, dalam mengklasifikasi kematangan cili pada beberapa peringkat matang cili seperti belum masak, masak dan terlalu masak. Kami juga memperkenalkan set data yang besar terdiri daripada 9,022 imej cili C. annuum dan C. frustescents pada pelbagai peringkat pertumbuhan dan keadaan imej, bagi menyediakan sampel yang cukup untuk membina model pembelajaran mendalam. Hasil dapatan eksperimen mendapati model ResNet50 mengatasi model lain dengan peratusan 95% lebih tepat berbanding semua kelas.

Dengue infection detection methods namely dengue serology test and Real-Time PCR are only available in clinical laboratories or healthcare facilities. This is time-consuming and inconvenient for patients. Thus, a non-invasive on-site urinary diagnostic kit for dengue infection that requires no trained personnel for blood extraction would be advantageous and warranted, albeit in developed or underdeveloped nations with limited resources. To develop the on-site diagnostic kit, an identification of biomarkers related to dengue infection is needed. This preliminary study aims to identify potential metabolite biomarkers from the urine of dengue patients using GCMS analysis. Urine samples of patients with serologically confirmed dengue infection were analyzed and compared with healthy volunteers. The study shows that the GCMS approach can identify differences in the urine of dengue patients from healthy volunteers. Heptacosane, Hexadecane, 2,4-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl) phenol, 2-bromooctane, tetradecane, hexyl octyl ester sulfurous acid, 2-benzoyl methyl ester benzoic acid, 2,9-dimethyl decane, and pentadecane were identified from the urine of dengue patients. The identified secretion of alkane may be a suitable candidate for colorimetric assay for the development of a user-friendly, home-screening rapid test kit for the detection of dengue infection.

Published: July 2024

The formation of a group of abnormal cells in the brain that penetrate the neighboring tissues is known as a brain tumor. The initial detection of brain tumors is necessary to aid doctors in treating cancer patients to increase the survival rate. Various deep learning models are discovered and developed for efficient brain tumor detection and classification. In this research, a transfer learning-based approach is proposed to resolve overfitting issues in classification. The BraTS – 2018 dataset is utilized in this research for segmentation and classification. Batch normalization is utilized in this experiment for data pre-processing and fed to a convolutional layer of CNN for extracting features from Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI). Then, an Adaptive Whale Optimization (AWO) algorithm is utilized to select effective features. This work proposes a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based segmentation and a transfer learning-based VGG-16 model for effective classification. The performance of the proposed CNN-VGG-16 technique is analyzed through various tumor regions like TC, ET, and WT. The proposed method attains a Dice score accuracy of 99.6%, 95.35%, and 94%, respectively, when compared to other existing algorithms like CNN, VGG-net, and ResNet.

Amphibian spherical robots are an appealing and practical alternative that can move around on different surfaces and function in aquatic environments. Spherical robots boast remarkable mobility and robustness, enabling them to navigate and perform exploration and reconnaissance tasks even in challenging or harsh environments. This paper explores assessing the terrestrial travel capabilities of a proposed amphibian spherical robot. A rapid Prototyping machine (RPM) was used to print the prototype’s main shell, yoke, and circuit holders. One main circuit was built on the yoke, while the other was positioned in the bottom shell. The driving principle used the barycentre offset notion, in which a pendulum mass is used to vary the location of the mass to generate a motion. Additional mass is added to the pendulum to determine the robot’s performance when mass is altered. The results reveal that the robot can travel on land with a maximum velocity of 40.75 degrees per second while carrying 600 grams of weight and a turning angle of 22.8 degrees. The robot can only move when the additional mass exceeds 400 grams.
ABSTRAK: Robot sfera amfibia ialah satu alternatif menarik dan praktikal yang dapat bergerak di atas permukaan berbeza dan berfungsi dalam persekitaran akuatik. Robot sfera mempunyai mobiliti yang luar biasa dan tahan lasak. Ciri ini membolehkannya bergerak dan menjalankan tugas penerokaan dan peninjauan dalam persekitaran merbahaya atau buruk. Kajian ini adalah bagi menganalisis prestasi robot sfera amfibia ketika bergerak di darat. Mesin Pemprototaip Pantas (RPM) digunakan bagi mencetak badan utama prototaip, yok, dan pemegang litar. Satu litar utama dibina pada yok, manakala satu lagi diletakkan di bahagian bawah. Prinsip pemanduan adalah dengan menggunakan konsep penentuan kedudukan pusat jisim, di mana jisim pendulum digunakan bagi menentukan lokasi jisim sambil menghasilkan gerakan. Berat tambahan pada jisim pendulum ditambah bagi mendapatkan prestasi robot apabila jisim diubah. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan robot dapat bergerak atas darat dengan halaju maksimum 40.75 darjah sesaat sambil membawa 600 gram berat dengan sudut pusingan sebanyak 22.8 darjah.

Relevance of the topic. Active participation in football competitions creates stressful conditions for players, which negatively affects their psychological resilience and performance in the game. It is noted that individual psychological characteristics, particularly the level of stress resistance, play a significant role in influencing the psychological state of players. However, to date, there is a lack of methods for effectively developing this quality in football players of various skill levels. The purpose – studying the individual psychological and personality traits of football players of various skill levels. Material and Methods. The study involved 43 football players aged from 17 to 21 with various levels of qualification, as well as 6 active football coaches. Research methods: analysis and synthesis of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical observation, surveys, psychodiagnostic testing of coaches and football players using the "Stress Factors of Sports Activity" method, methods of mathematical statistics. Research results and key conclusions. The experimental study of the psychological preparation and stress factors among football players at various stages of long-term training allows for the following conclusions: it has been found that coaches who participated in the survey significantly underestimate the importance of psychological preparation (3-6 %) compared to other types of preparation: physical preparation – (30-37 %), general physical preparation (14-25 %), special physical preparation (15-24 %), and technical preparation (15-20 %). Football players of various skill levels rate psychological preparation significantly higher (23 %), especially after unsuccessful starts in competitions (57 % of the surveyed lost the initial minutes of the game due to anxiety). Stress factors in the sports activities of football players of different qualifications have been identified, with external objective reasons being the most significant (previous poor training and competitive results, past defeats, failures at the beginning of the game, and unexpectedly high results from the opponent).

Relevance of the research topic. Errors in the technical training of athletes who specialize in practical shooting, the slow growth of their technical skill negatively affects the replenishment of national teams with young, promising athletes. The reasons for this situation, first of all, should be recognized as insufficient development of the theoretical basis for improving the technical preparation of athletes at all stages of long-term training. The purpose of the article is to determine the biomechanical differences in the technique of performing various ways of movement of qualified athletes during shooting. Research participants. 10 qualified athletes who specialize in practical pistol shooting took part in the research. Each athlete made 5 attempts using the "ski", "X-shaped" and "low" steps. It is important to note that there were neither restrictions on the choice of the speed of movement of the athlete nor the speed of execution of a series of shots during the attempts. Athletes were oriented to ensure that each shot was accurate in a series of shooting, with its execution in a minimum period of time, which actually largely determines the sports result in practical shooting. Research methods. We conducted an experimental study in laboratory conditions using the optical- electronic 3D system of registration and analysis of human movements "Qualisys". The results obtained in the research process were processed using the methods of mathematical statistics. Work results. It has been established that athletes, when shooting and using different ways of moving, try to minimize the negative impact of oscillatory processes on the weapon, which comes from the lower part of the body as a result of walking. However, as shown by the results of our own research, athletes manage to provide the least impact when performing the "X-shaped" movement. This fact is also confirmed by the smallest oscillations of the front sight of the weapon in the frontal and vertical planes, compared to other methods of movement, which was also shown above in the form of quantitative indicators and visual accompaniment to them. Prospects for further research include the development of technology for the formation of the technique of athletes’ movement in practical shooting.
