Diabetes presents a significant public health issue for Native Americans, exacerbated by cultural nuances often ignored by conventional healthcare. To address this, we introduce a mobile app designed with the cultural context of Native American populations in mind. The app’s development followed participatory design principles, with direct input from Native American stakeholders through focus groups…

Advances in Internet of Things (IoT) and wireless technologies are revolutionizing various sectors, including environment, education, healthcare, industry, etc. In the same dynamic, as the world population constantly evolves, solutions based on such technologies need to be proposed to improve the agricultural sector. Senegalese agriculture, primarily rain-fed and based on both cash crops and subsistence…

In Senegal, agriculture has always been seen as the foundation on which the socioeconomic development of the country rests. However, in the rural world, agriculture remains traditional at a time when the challenges of food self-sufficiency to accompany emergence are launched. In the southern part of Senegal commonly called Casamance, the abundance of rain makes…

The intention of this research is to study and design an automated agriculture commodity price prediction system with novel machine learning techniques. Due to the increasing large amounts historical data of agricultural commodity prices and the need of performing accurate prediction of price fluctuations, the solution has largely shifted from statistical methods to machine learning…

The increasingly rapid development of science and technology, as well as the influence of globalization has contributed to updates in educational so that one method taken by apply experiments in horticulture learning activities. This study aims to determine the effect of rice straw mulch on tomato production and the effectiveness of the implementation of this…

In vital energy applications especially the agricultural environments, the service of adaptive power utilization plays an essential role in facilitating the usage of Internet of Things systems. Such environments are distinguished by the large range of lands where most of the region lacks the commercial power lines. Reaching some high or deep sensing points is…

This study aims to discuss the establishment of digital culture in higher education as an effort of higher education to align themselves with the development of science and technology so that that higher education is always at the forefront in the enforcement and provide high-quality education. The method used in this study is a qualitative…

The aim of this paper is to identify a critical link in the man – machine – environment system in the case of an adverse event, such as a hay baling fire, based on a comprehensive risk assessment method. The rate of spread of fires in agriculture depends on meteorological conditions, with large areas affected…

Senior projects allow students to move the learning process from basic knowledge to an interdisciplinary approach. The purpose of this research is (1) to analysis attitude and perception, which is a collaboration between teachers and students to develop a model for clustering of appropriate advisors and advisee who cooperate in senior project, and (2) to…

In recent years, several projects which are supported by information and communications technologies (ICT) have been developed in the agricultural domain to promote more precise agricultural activities. These projects account for different kinds of key ICT terms such as internet of things (IoT), wireless sensors networks (WSN), cloud computing (CC). These projects are used for…

The study objective was to design and evaluate the agroecological system of an agricultural model with vegetable covers (Luffa cylindrica, Cyclanthera pedata and Mucuna pruriens) associated with tomato plants (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill), Rio Grande and Cherry varieties. The agroecological system is shown with its components of inputs, processes and outputs. The main entrances being solar…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping the global shipbuilding sector, yet existing maturity models fail to capture the domain-specific complexities of this capital-intensive industry. This study reviews over 50 AI maturity models and introduces a specialized framework tailored for shipbuilding. The proposed model outlines four progressive stages—Beginner, Innovation, Integration, and Expert—across eight key dimensions: culture, resilience,…

SME big data maturity models will be reviewed in this study to identify systematic publications related to the subject. For SMEs to remain competitive, digitalization is essential. Due to limited resources, SMEs need to be more proactive in digitalization. Still, the benefits, such as operational efficiency, cost reduction, quality improvement, and innovative culture, make digitalization…

Aquaculture is one of the most important industries worldwide, and most marine products are produced by aquaculture. On the other hand, the aquaculture farmers are faced on the challenge of damage to marine products due to abnormal seawater temperatures. Research on seawater temperature prediction have been conducted, but many of them require a large amount…

Machine Translation (MT) has come a long way toward reducing linguistic gaps. However, its progress in efficiently handling low-resource languages—such as the Wa language in the Myanmar-Wa corpus—has not received enough attention. This study begins with a thorough investigation of the historical development of MT systems, painstakingly following their development against the complex background of…

“Seven ReImagined” is an innovative transmedia storytelling project that reshapes the exploration of the seven deadly sins in a modern context. Building upon the original artwork “Seven”, this venture incorporates traditional media, digital tools, and the latest immersive technologies to cultivate profound user engagement and interaction. The project’s objective is to enhance understanding of timeless…

The detection and classification of fish is a prevalent and fascinating area of study. Numerous researchers develop skills in fish recognition in both aquatic and non-aquatic environments, which is beneficial for population control and the aquaculture industry, respectively. Rarely is research conducted to optimize the recognition of fish with diverse backgrounds. This paper proposes a…

Technologies designed for digital provenance, especially the Internet of Things (IoT) and blockchain, may allow for security, transparency, and traceability in the global supply chain. However, upstream nodes in the supply chain that work for large-scale production suppliers are not considered. In addition, most IoT blockchain systems adopt an ID-based signature scheme that may affect…

Researchers have associated agriculture and food processing with adverse environmental impacts like; falls in the underground freshwater table, energy consumption, and high carbon emission. These factors have the worst effect on developing countries. Therefore, there is a need for on-demand food production techniques that require minimum resource utilization. For these reasons, scientists are now focusing…

Ladysmith is a major economic hub in the uThukela District Municipality. However, it has been experiencing floods almost every year which has resulted in the loss of lives and disruption of business activity within the Ladysmith Central Business District. The main objective of this study was to quantify the land use/cover changes before and after…
