description: Agricultural Universities like many other organizations have used conventional communication channels in sharing information with farmers and other stakeholders. There are however increased limitations of ensuring real-time and sustainable exchange of relevant information and knowledge between researchers, extension workers, farmers and other stakeholders. Integration of information communication technologies (ICTs) in communication has been found to facilitate timely, efficient and cost effective information sharing in agriculture. Makerere University piloted the development of an information and communication technology (ICT) mechanism to enable farmers’ to access information from a University information centre. This study aimed at understanding the factors influencing the application of the ICT-based information exchange model for strengthening university-farming community engagement in a pilot project between Makerere University and farming communities in northern Uganda. Qualitative data were collected from 30 project farmers, project managers and the system designers at the university through key informant interviews. The study findings suggest that successful integration of ICTs in the information pathways is important in enhancing timely information sharing between universities, farmers and other stakeholders. Universities have a unique advantage of having a broad array of expertise and students to run an agricultural ICT platform. Partnering with relevant agricultural organizations from whom to access and integrate relevant information would improve the quality of content shared with farmers. Exploring ways of establishing an equipped agricultural ICT laboratory/center at the university, and strengthening partnerships with other stakeholders is very crucial if efforts of applying ICTs to strengthen engagement with farmers and other stakeholders are not to stop at experimentation.

description: Paradigm shifts in higher education have necessitated embracing and mainstreaming entrepreneurship education in training curricula. This is because entrepreneurial capacity building amongst the youth is considered the best approach for addressing unemployment, rural poverty and creation of responsible citizenry in Sub Saharan Africa. Reportedly, entrepreneurship education increases the chances for young people to start new businesses or even expand existing ones, gain confidence and so enhance their employability. However, one of the criticism of entrepreneurship education in Africa is that it is largely theoretical, and barely provides the much needed hands-on practice. This calls for training models of entrepreneurship that exhibit practical orientations. In light of this view, Gulu University in Uganda, introduced a practical approach of agri-entrepreneurship training branded as the Student Enterprise Scheme, in which students develop, defend, implement and evaluate agribusiness plans. The students are guided and supported with funds on credit to actualize economically viable and commercially sound business plans. Insights from the implementation of the scheme so far show that it is a useful practical approach for students to integrate theory and practice. This paper illustrates that although the linkage between student entrepreneurial activities and other stakeholders for Roundtable engagements requires further testing and refinement, the scheme is a good opportunity for young people to develop positive entrepreneurial mindsets and capabilities, start own businesses and enhance their employability. The study recommends strengthening linkages between university students and those in technical and vocational institutions to develop a higher educational value chain on entrepreneurship training. Furthermore, entrepreneurship programmes for young people should be connected to credit and micro-finance initiatives to enhance their entrepreneurial success.

title: Acts 17:16-34 : an apologetic model then and now?
Creators: name: Dahle, Lars Olof Martin
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2001

description: Presupposing a specific understanding of 'apologetics' and the need to investigate biblical apologetic foundations, this thesis explores the hypothesis that Acts 17: 16-34 is to be seen as an apologetic model 'then' and 'now'. It seems plausible, in view of the content and purposes of Acts, that Luke recorded this narrative about Paul in Athens, not just to provide confirmation of the truth of the Christian faith for insiders, but primarily as an apologetic model for relating to Gentile outsiders. This understanding of Acts 17:16-34 as a Lucan apologetic model seems consonant both with the contemporary exegetical discussion on authenticity, the Athenian context and Paul as speaker, and with a responsible exegetical study of the text itself. This thesis identifies key positive elements of this Lucan model: the apostle presents essential Christian truth claims in Athens, about who God is and how he has revealed himself, which should be seen as indicators of a normative worldview content. It is further argued that contextual understanding, application of appropriate justification procedures, and 'positive deconstruction' of alternative worldviews characterize Paul's approach in the agora. The justification for the apostle's truth claims is an overall argument from natural theology through ultimate authority to the resurrection, which is offered with the threefold aim of generating interest. persuading, and confronting. Through a critical comparative review of the extent to which contemporary apologists Alister E. McGrath and Donald A. Carson apply this Lucan-Pauline model to the specific challenge of postmodemism, it is argued that the content, the approach, the arguments, and the aims of this first-century model justifiably may be seen as valid and relevant for contemporary apologetics in comparable agora contexts. A perspective is also offered towards a more adequate application of the model to the postmodem challenge.

description: We consider theoretically exciton-polaritons in a strip of honeycomb lattice with zigzag edges and it is shown that the interplay among the spin-orbit coupling, Zeeman splitting, and an onsite detuning between sublattices can give rise to a band structure where all the edge states of the system split in energy. Within an energy interval, one of the spin polarized edge states resides with the gap-less bulk having opposite spin. Being surrounded by opposite spin and the absence of the backward propagating edge state ensures both reflection free and feedback suppressed one-way flow of polaritons with one particular spin in the system. The edge states in this system are more localized than those in the standard topological polariton systems and are fully spin polarized. This paves the way for feedback free spin-selective polariton channels for transferring information in polariton networks.

description: Agricultural universities in Africa have a core responsibility to develop and implement relevant curricula to produce well trained human resource to guide stakeholders in production, value addition and marketing to meet the expected quantity and quality requirements of modern agri-food supply chain systems. This paper presents innovations in agricultural training curricula at Gulu University in Uganda designed to produce the breed of graduates, blending in character, the attitudes, hands-on practical skills and knowledge to exploit and succeed in the commonly perceived “non- attractive” labour market of the agricultural sector in Sub-Saharan Africa. Key ingredient in curricula orientation, as a critical input in modelling that type of graduate, is the integration of community engagement and agri-enterprise development in student training. Making use of the Bachelor of Agriculture (BAG) degree programme, the pioneer programme that kick-started the new training orientation, we conducted a tracer study to document employment characteristics, transition to employment and the level of satisfaction with training approach among the first five graduate cohorts (2009-2013) in 2014. Results showed that 84 % of the graduates were employed within the first six months after graduation. The employment rate surpassed 90 % after one year. About 80% of the graduates were employed in rural and semi-urban localities. Employment was in diverse sectors including government extension advisory services, financial institutions, non-governmental organisations, the private sector, agricultural research and graduate-own agro-based enterprise. Only 1.7 % of the graduates had established businesses. Most graduates were satisfied with job placement while over 90 % of the employers were contented with competencies exhibited by the graduates. This paper illustrates that integrating community engagement and enterprise development in student training contributes greatly to building competencies of agricultural graduates for the labour market.

description: Participatory variety selection (PVS) is an approach which provides a wide choice of varieties to farmers to evaluate in their own environment using their own resources for increasing production. It enhances farmer’s access to diverse crop varieties, increases production and ensures food security and helps faster dissemination and adoption of pre and released varieties. It allows varietal selection in targeted areas at cost-effective and timely manner and helps promotion of community seed production and community seed banks. Therefore, a variety developed through PVS usually meets demand of different stakeholders. Farmers in Singida and Iramba districts in central Tanzania were found to be growing land races which were low yielding, long maturing, drought and disease susceptible, as no variety had previously been released in Tanzania. Through PVS a broader choice of varieties that matched farmer needs in adaptation and quality traits was offered for evaluation. As such PVS was used to introduce, evaluate, release and promote for adoption finger millet varieties in Central and Northern Tanzania. Farmers selected and adopted new varieties of a higher utility (a combination of improved agronomic traits, higher yield, and improved quality). Through PVS Tanzania released her first finger millet varieties (U15 and P224). Adoption of the varieties was very high as farmers associated with the varieties; and affordable high quality seed was made available as Quality Declared Seed (QDS) produced by the target farmer groups. Preferred traits differed between the gender groups; women preferred risk averting traits like short duration, drought tolerance, compact heads and disease resistance while male preferred market related traits (high yield, brown colour and big head.

description: Quantum vortices in superfluids have been an important research area for many decades. Naturally, research on this topic has focused on two and three-dimensional superfluids, in which vortex cores form points and lines, respectively. Very recently, however, there has been growing interest in the quantum simulation of systems with four spatial dimensions; this raises the question of how vortices would behave in a higher-dimensional superfluid. In this paper, we begin to establish the phenomenology of vortices in 4D superfluids under rotation, where the vortex core can form a plane. In 4D, the most generic type of rotation is a "double rotation" with two angles (or frequencies). We show, by solving the Gross-Pitaesvkii equation, that the simplest case of equal-frequency double rotation can stabilise a pair of vortex planes intersecting at a point. This opens up a wide number of future research topics, including unequal-frequency double rotations; the stability and reconnection dynamics of intersecting vortex surfaces; and the possibility of closed vortex surfaces.

description: DNA strand displacement, where a single-stranded nucleic acid invades a DNA duplex, is pervasive in genomic processes and DNA engineering applications. The kinetics of strand displacement have been studied in bulk; however, the kinetics of the underlying strand exchange were obfuscated by a slow bimolecular association step. Here, we use a novel single-molecule Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (smFRET) approach termed the "fission" assay to obtain the full distribution of first passage times of unimolecular strand displacement. At a frame time of 4.4 ms, the first passage time distribution for a 14-nt displacement domain exhibited a nearly monotonic decay with little delay. Among the eight different sequences we tested, the mean displacement time was on average 35 ms and varied by up to a factor of 13. The measured displacement kinetics also varied between complementary invaders and between RNA and DNA invaders of the same base sequence except for T$\rightarrow$U substitution. However, displacement times were largely insensitive to the monovalent salt concentration in the range of 0.25 M to 1 M. Using a one-dimensional random walk model, we infer that the single-step displacement time is in the range of $\sim 30 μs$ to $\sim 300 μs$ depending on the base identity. The framework presented here is broadly applicable to the kinetic analysis of multistep processes investigated at the single-molecule level.

description: Arachnida represents one of the most diverse class in terrestrial ecosystem, yet the interordinal relationship among them was not clear. In particular, the placement of the four-legged herbivorous mite (Eriophyoidea) have been debated for over a century. Conflicting phylogenetic placements have been proposed for eriophyoid mites across morphological and molecular datasets, while the lack of genome—due to its extremely miniaturize body shape—undermines confidence of the molecular analyses. Here, we reconstructed the high-level phylogeny of Arachnida using genome-scale datasets and determined the countering systematic error. Our results show that the monophyly of superorder Parasitiformes and Acariformes was recovered. However, the monophyly of subclass Acari was unstable. The monophyly of all tested orders was also recovered, except for Trombidiformes, which was rendered by the monophyletic Eriophyoidea lying outside of the Trombidiformes and forming a sister group relationship to the remaining Acariformes species. The unstable position of Eriophyoidea within Acariformes may be influenced by both long-branch attractions and incomplete lineage sorting. Our robust molecular evidence was also supported by the specific morphological synapomorphies. We therefore erected a new order Tetrapodiliformes that comprise the extent superfamily Eriophyoidea and fossil superfamily Triasacaroidea. Our results resolve the high-level placement of four-legged mites and shed new lights on the arachnid tree of life.

description: Yam is a very demanding plant in term of soil fertility. Nevertheless in spite of the very large acceptance of this affirmation, little information is available on the real nutriments requirements of yam and how to satisfy them. For instance, numerous mineral fertilization recommendations are provided and the recommended doses are more often important (mainly calculated on the quantity of nutrients exported by harvest). Although there seems to be an increase in yield to fertilizer application, the general picture is confusing. Bibliographic review of the fertilization experiments shows contrasted and more often statistically non-significant responses. Then, it is necessary to conclude that a lot of leachable elements are lost and/or misused by yams. In order to benefit more of the chemical fertilization and to reduce losses by leaching, it is important to better understand the growth and development of yam. In 2004, an experiment was carried out on the effects of mineral fertilization, on the growth and yield of the yam (Dioscorea alata). A "Monteith" type of growth analysis has been implemented : crop cycle, leaf area development, biomass production and distribution and final yield have been studied. Part of the results obtained is presented here under the mineral nutrition point of view.

description: Quantum vacuum and matter immersed in it interact through electromagnetic, strong and weak interactions. However, we have zero knowledge of the gravitational properties of the quantum vacuum. As an illustration of possible fundamental gravitational impact of the quantum vacuum, we study the gravitational field of an immersed point-like body. It is done under the working hypothesis, that quantum vacuum fluctuations are virtual gravitational dipoles (i.e. two gravitational charges of the same magnitude but opposite sign); by the way, this hypothesis makes quantum vacuum free of the cosmological constant problem. The major result is that a point-like body creates a halo of the polarized quantum vacuum around itself, which acts as an additional source of gravity. There is a maximal magnitude g_qvmax, of the gravitational acceleration that can be caused by the polarized quantum vacuum; the small size of this magnitude is the reason why in some cases (for instance within the Solar System) the quantum vacuum can be neglected. Advanced experiments at CERN and forthcoming astronomical observations will reveal if this is true or not, but we point to already existing empirical evidence that seemingly supports this fascinating possibility.

description: A planetesimal moves through the gas of its protoplanetary disc where it experiences a head wind. Though the ambient pressure is low, this wind can erode and ultimately destroy the planetesimal if the flow is strong enough. For the first time, we observe wind erosion in ground based and microgravity experiments at pressures relevant in protoplanetary discs, i.e. down to $10^{-1}\, \rm mbar$. We find that the required shear stress for erosion depends on the Knudsen number related to the grains at the surface. The critical shear stress to initiate erosion increases as particles become comparable to or larger than the mean free path of the gas molecules. This makes pebble pile planetesimals more stable at lower pressure. However, it does not save them as the experiments also show that the critical shear stress to initiate erosion is very low for sub-millimetre sized grains.

description: Dasheen (Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott var. esculenta) is an important staple and export crop in Dominica and other Caribbean Countries. Though CARDI's research has expanded the fresh produce trade from within the Caribbean to markets in the United States and Europe, dasheen is slowly loosing appeal in its fresh form. Rice and other similar commodities which are easy to store and prepare, are becoming more attractive purchases. In addition, dasheen as perishable is coming under increasing export pressure due to stringent international trade regulations. Preparation can also be difficult because of peeling and scratching allergies. The dasheen industry is therefore forced to diversify its product portfolio, in order to expand production and increase farmer earnings. In so doing the industry has decided to move away from the holistic risk and uncertainty of fresh produce market. Value added products (dasheen chips) provide a suitable alternative. Dasheen chip production was however constrained by acridity problems and despite workshops on post-harvest treatments and agro-processing aspects of dasheen, sustainable production of the highly nutritional dasheen chip remains constrained, by a lack of understanding as to how cultivars, agro-ecological zones and time of harvest affect corm acridity. Experiments addressing the above, examined corm acridity, of the "Common", "White" and "Purple" cultivars, when harvested between four and nine months. Corms were produced in Grand Bay (mean annual rainfall 2400mm) on soils characterized as plastic sticky clay loams without a silica pan, and in Wet Area (mean annual rainfall 5300mm) on soils characterized as sandy clay loams. Results showed that, when harvesting in Grand Bay for processing into dasheen chips, the "Common" and "Pink" dasheen should be harvested in seven months and the "White" dasheen in eight months. In Wet Area, the "Common", "White" and "Pink" dasheen can all be harvested in eight months].
title: Knowledge management and the codification of knowledge in the UK Post Office

description: This thesis explores the concept of knowledge codification in the context of Knowledge Management (KM) in an organisation. In the KM literature, codification of knowledge into information is viewed as central to the notion that knowledge can be managed and transferred. However, such literature pays little attention to knowledge codification as a process, or to the complex issues which the concept of codification raises. The research therefore examines processes of knowledge codification in an organisation, and how codification plays a part in its emerging approach to Knowledge Management. The empirical research was conducted within the internal consultancy section of the UK Post Office, using a methodology of participant observation within the Knowledge Management consultancy group. The data were collected predominantly from participation in a KM project: This aimed to capture knowledge from consultants working on an overseas consultancy project, and to transfer their knowledge elsewhere in the Post Office through the medium of codified text. The research has gained in-depth insight into an organisation's approach to Knowledge Management, and generated significant findings about knowledge codification as a process. In particular, the analysis focuses on different levels of social interaction in which the processes of knowledge codification occurred, and finds that codification involves more than just the codification of knowledge into information: Codification also involves the process of defining the codes needed to codify knowledge. However, the codified knowledge will have limited transferability to individuals or groups who do not share the underlying knowledge and experience to enable them to decodify the codes similarly. The thesis therefore concludes that further research is needed to bring attention to the importance of knowledge decodification within the Knowledge Management discourse.

description: The layered material ZrSiTe is currently extensively investigated as a nodal-line semimetal with Dirac-like band crossings protected by nonsymmorphic symmetry close to the Fermi energy. A recent infrared spectroscopy study on ZrSiTe under external pressure found anomalies in the optical response, providing hints for pressure-induced phase transitions at $\approx$4.1 and $\approx$6.5 GPa. By pressure-dependent Raman spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction measurements combined with electronic band structure calculations we find indications for two pressure-induced Lifshitz transitions with major changes in the Fermi surface topology in the absence of lattice symmetry changes. These electronic phase transitions can be attributed to the enhanced interlayer interaction induced by external pressure. Our findings demonstrate the crucial role of the interlayer distance for the electronic properties of layered van der Waals topological materials.

description: Improvement of selection criteria for breeding sweet potato in terms of flavor would be greatly facilitated by understanding its volatile composition. The aroma in the sweet potato comes from volatile compounds released by biochemical synthesis and chemical transformations during cooking. For ascertaining the chemical composition of the aroma, samples were baked in a closed system coupled to a cold solvent trap having dichloromethane. Aroma constituents were subsequently identified and quantified by using a gas Chromatograph coupled to a quadruple mass spectrometer. Amounts of volatiles were compared with the flesh's physical properties and sugar content. Results suggest a straight relationship among some volatiles between them and in between some physical and chemical properties such as starch granule size and sugar content.

description: I will discuss recent progress by many people in the program of extending natural topological invariants from manifolds to singular spaces. Intersection homology theory and mixed Hodge theory are model examples of such invariants. The past 20 years have seen a series of new invariants, partly inspired by string theory, such as motivic integration and the elliptic genus of a singular variety. These theories are not defined in a topological way, but there are intriguing hints of their topological significance.
CoolMomentum: A Method for Stochastic Optimization by Langevin Dynamics with Simulated Annealing

description: Deep learning applications require global optimization of non-convex objective functions, which have multiple local minima. The same problem is often found in physical simulations and may be resolved by the methods of Langevin dynamics with Simulated Annealing, which is a well-established approach for minimization of many-particle potentials. This analogy provides useful insights for non-convex stochastic optimization in machine learning. Here we find that integration of the discretized Langevin equation gives a coordinate updating rule equivalent to the famous Momentum optimization algorithm. As a main result, we show that a gradual decrease of the momentum coefficient from the initial value close to unity until zero is equivalent to application of Simulated Annealing or slow cooling, in physical terms. Making use of this novel approach, we propose CoolMomentum -- a new stochastic optimization method. Applying Coolmomentum to optimization of Resnet-20 on Cifar-10 dataset and Efficientnet-B0 on Imagenet, we demonstrate that it is able to achieve high accuracies.

A Century of Light-Bending Measurements: Bringing Solar Eclipses into the Classroom

description: In 1919, Eddington and Dyson led two famous expeditions to measure the bending of light during a total solar eclipse. The results of this effort led to the first experimental confirmation of Einstein's General Relativity and contributed to create its unique and enduring fame. Since then, similar experiments have been carried out all around the world, confirming the predictions of the General Relativity. Later, developments in radio interferometry provided a more accurate way to measure the gravitation deflection. We believe that - after more than a century - starlight deflection caused by the Sun's gravity still represents a simple and intuitive way to introduce high-school students to General Relativity and its effects. To this aim, we gathered measurements taken during eight eclipses spanning from 1919 to 2017, and we created a single dataset of homogeneous values. Together with the whole dataset, this article provides a blueprint for a possible group activity for students, useful to introduce the theory in physics classes with a playful approach.

description: In West Africa, yam (D. cayenensis-D.rotundata) plays an important role in food security and income generation for many small farmers. Sub-Saharan Africa contributes for more than 95% to yam's world production. However, in West Africa yam production, traditionally based on slash and burn practice, is jeopardised by a decrease in the availability of long duration fallow. Therefore, yam cultivation is changing from more exigent and also the more appreciated varieties (thus the most profitable) to the cultivation of less demanding but also less appreciated cultivars. In the face of such a challenge, researchers recognise the need to develop cropping systems that include herbaceous legumes. Despite being of low direct economic interest herbaceous legumes play a major role in the maintenance or the recovery of soil fertility and/or pests management (weeds, fungi, insects, nematodes). Some of these yam based systems are currently being assessed in West Africa: use of Mucunapruriens as improved fallow, use of Aeschynomene histrix IGliricidia sepium as improved fallow, followed by G. sepium (as living stakes) in yam cropping system, use of Puer aria phaseoloides as a cover crop.
