Socio Economic
And Ecological Effects Of Participatory Forest Management In Lembus Ecosystem, Baringo County, Kenya
In last two decades, the forest and its resources have been unsustainably exploited to almost non regenerative capacity, thus compromising the socio economic status millions of people around the globe. It was therefore against this background that the United Nations developed a long lasting strategy to contain further ecological degradation by introducing participatory management approaches where governments and forests communities
Facility Location Selection: A Hybrid Ahp-topsis Model For Apple Inc.'s Global Manufacturing Strategy
As Apple Inc. considers diversifying its manufacturing operations beyond China, a strategic evaluation is essential to ensure the viability and resilience of potential new locations. This study utilizes a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach, combining the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), to systematically assess alternative sites. Eight key
Optimizing Poultry Production Efficiency Using Ai-based Decision Support Systems
Poultry farming is vital for global food production but faces challenges in efficiency, welfare, and sustainability. This study explores an AI-based Decision Support System (DSS) integrating machine learning and IoT sensors to optimize feeding, environment, and health monitoring. Results show adaptability across diverse farms, with 90% of farmers reporting improved efficiency. The findings highlight AI's transformative role in agriculture, enabling
Enhancing Inter-app Communication: A Development Framework For Seamless Integration
Inter-application communication (IAC) is essential for seamless integration across distributed systems. Early middleware solutions like CORBA and DCOM lacked scalability, while SOA's modularity was hindered by rigidity. The shift to microservices and RESTful APIs improved scalability but struggled with real-time interaction. Event-driven architectures (EDA) like Kafka enhanced asynchronous messaging but introduced complexity. Advances in gRPC, Protocol Buffers, and zero-trust security
A Framework For Building High Performance Software Development Teams
This study explores the impact of teamwork quality (TWQ) on software development team performance, comparing agile and traditional approaches. TWQ significantly influences success as rated by team members and leaders, while product owners' evaluations are less affected. Agile teams show lower consensus in performance ratings. Differences in product and project quality assessments highlight the need for aligned success metrics. Key
Ai-infused Plant Pathoguard: A Smart Device For Disease Identification In Plants
Agriculture, a cornerstone of global food security, faces significant challenges from crop diseases, which can severely impact yields and farmer livelihoods. Traditional methods for disease identification are often labour-intensive and lack real-time diagnostic capabilities. In response to these challenges, this project presents the "AI-Infused Plant PathoGuard," a smart device designed for the real-time identification of diseases in crops using advanced
