Latest Findings from Randomized Evaluations of MicrofinanceDr Lendy Spires
Three recent randomized studies evaluated the impacts of microcredit. They found that while microcredit did not produce dramatic transformations out of poverty, it did have some modest positive outcomes for some people. It helped create new businesses and shift spending away from temptation goods towards business investments and durable goods. This suggests microcredit can help smooth consumption for households with irregular incomes. However, the studies found little impact on healthcare, education or female empowerment. Access to formal savings accounts in Kenya was found to increase business inventory and incomes for female market vendors.

This document summarizes a study on innovation among medium-sized Brazilian companies. Some key findings include:
- Medium-sized companies play an important role in the Brazilian economy but investments in innovation are still limited.
- While many companies see innovation as important, few have formal innovation strategies or practices in place.
- Collaboration with universities and research institutions is also low among medium-sized firms.
- Barriers to innovation include a risk-averse culture and lack of support for new ideas within the organization.
- The report concludes that Brazilian medium companies need to prioritize innovation and develop a stronger culture of innovation to gain competitive advantages.

Rainfall intensity duration frequency curve statistical analysis and modeling...bijceesjournal
Using data from 41 years in Patna’ India’ the study’s goal is to analyze the trends of how often it rains on a weekly, seasonal, and annual basis (1981−2020). First, utilizing the intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curve and the relationship by statistically analyzing rainfall’ the historical rainfall data set for Patna’ India’ during a 41 year period (1981−2020), was evaluated for its quality. Changes in the hydrologic cycle as a result of increased greenhouse gas emissions are expected to induce variations in the intensity, length, and frequency of precipitation events. One strategy to lessen vulnerability is to quantify probable changes and adapt to them. Techniques such as log-normal, normal, and Gumbel are used (EV-I). Distributions were created with durations of 1, 2, 3, 6, and 24 h and return times of 2, 5, 10, 25, and 100 years. There were also mathematical correlations discovered between rainfall and recurrence interval.
Findings: Based on findings, the Gumbel approach produced the highest intensity values, whereas the other approaches produced values that were close to each other. The data indicates that 461.9 mm of rain fell during the monsoon season’s 301st week. However, it was found that the 29th week had the greatest average rainfall, 92.6 mm. With 952.6 mm on average, the monsoon season saw the highest rainfall. Calculations revealed that the yearly rainfall averaged 1171.1 mm. Using Weibull’s method, the study was subsequently expanded to examine rainfall distribution at different recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, and 25 years. Rainfall and recurrence interval mathematical correlations were also developed. Further regression analysis revealed that short wave irrigation, wind direction, wind speed, pressure, relative humidity, and temperature all had a substantial influence on rainfall.
Originality and value: The results of the rainfall IDF curves can provide useful information to policymakers in making appropriate decisions in managing and minimizing floods in the study area.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELijaia
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
Applications of artificial Intelligence in Mechanical Engineering.pdfAtif Razi
Historically, mechanical engineering has relied heavily on human expertise and empirical methods to solve complex problems. With the introduction of computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA), the field took its first steps towards digitization. These tools allowed engineers to simulate and analyze mechanical systems with greater accuracy and efficiency. However, the sheer volume of data generated by modern engineering systems and the increasing complexity of these systems have necessitated more advanced analytical tools, paving the way for AI.
AI offers the capability to process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions with a level of speed and accuracy unattainable by traditional methods. This has profound implications for mechanical engineering, enabling more efficient design processes, predictive maintenance strategies, and optimized manufacturing operations. AI-driven tools can learn from historical data, adapt to new information, and continuously improve their performance, making them invaluable in tackling the multifaceted challenges of modern mechanical engineering.

Abstract— The primary purpose of this study is to identify the challenges of women entrepreneurs in running a food
business. The researchers used a questionnaire checklist for collecting the data. It consisted of different variables
such as the nature of the business, marketing knowledge, capital of the business and challenges encountered which
are all related to running a business. The findings revealed that most of the respondents were engaged in eatery
business, they have their own business stall and their start-up capital was low. Moreover, the respondents’ used
their own ideas to conceptualize the business. They utilized a distribution channel that is product direct to the
consumer (end-user).To promote their product they prefer personal selling. Lack of resources was the most difficult
challengethat the women entrepreneurs have encountered in starting a business.
Keywords— Challenges, food industry, start-up capital, strategy, women entrepreneur.
I. INTRODUCTION
Entrepreneurs are important players in any economy.
“Entrepreneurs who prove to be successful in taking on the
risks of a startup are rewarded with profits, fame, and
continued growth opportunities and those who fail to suffer
losses and become less prevalent in the markets”[1].
The researchers observed that there are different factors
affecting the business making including Climate Condition.
Climate conditions may affect your business in a number of
ways. Unpredictable weather can impact directly on your
business, for example by increasing the risk of water
shortages or flooding. This can cause significant disruption to
your business and make it more difficult to get insurance [2].
The researchers also observed that business owners handling
meat processing products have encountered African Swine
Fever or ASF, which brought a scare to a lot of customers in
Cabanatuan City causing a low market on Meat Products
specially Longganisa which is very popular in Cabanatuan
City. According to Rappler-Ralf Rivas, “the National Meat
Inspection Service (NMIS), ASF is a highly contagious viral
disease that affects pigs, warthogs, and boars. It causes pigs
to have a high fever and lose their appetite. It also causes
hemorrhages in the skin and internal organs. Death is certain.
Pigs die in a span of 2 to 10 days upon affliction. There is no
known vaccine against ASF yet. Agriculture Secretary
William Dar said 7 areas in two provinces in Luzon have
been affected by ASF. These are Rizal - San Jose, Macabud,
San Isidro, San Rafael, Mascap, and Cupang in Antipolo,
Bulacan – Guiguinto. According to the Food and Agriculture
Organization, ASF has severely affected China, Mongolia,
Vietnam, Cambodia, some areas in South Korea, Laos, and
Myanmar. ASF outbreaks have been detected in 32 provinces
in China. Almost 1.2 million pigs there have been culled in
an effort to halt the further spread of the disease”[3].
There are many misconceptions about entrepreneurs and
businessmen. The entrepreneur is the market leader; it creates
a new market and starts a new idea or concept. On the other
hand, businessman plays as the market player who sets up the
business with existing idea offering product or service.
“Women entrepreneurship is the process in which women
initiate a business, gather all resources, undertake risks, face
challenges, provides employment to others and manages the
business independently. There has been a change in the role
of women due to growth in education, urbanization,
industrialization, and awareness of democratic values”[4].
Women often have skills and abilities that are useful in
business and tend to be great at networking, and they possess
inherent skills for negotiating to have the ability to multitask.
Single mothers are often good at delegating and budgeting,
skills that they rely on to manage their families [5].
One of the situations in Cabanatuan Cityis the noticeable
growth of a business, and some of them are managed by
women entrepreneurs. The aim of the research is to
determine the challenges of starting a business in Cabanatuan
City. The findings of this study will be useful to the citizens
of Cabanatuan City and for the women entrepreneurs of the
business or for the future women entrepreneurs in the City.
With this study, the institution can determine the

effectiveness of women entrepreneurs in the field of
business. Likewise, this study can help women entrepreneurs
to improve their marketing strategy, selling techniques and to
bring emphasis on women entrepreneurs making it in the
field of business.
II. METHODOLOGY
This study utilized a descriptive research design with a
questionnaire as the main data gathering tool. According to
Dr. Y.P. Aggarwal (2008) as cited by [6] and [7] “descriptive
research is devoted to the gathering of information about
prevailing conditions or situations for the purpose of
description and interpretation. This type of research design is
not simply amassing and tabulating facts but includes proper
analyses, interpretation, comparisons, identification of trends
and relationships.”
The respondents of the study who were chosen purposively
based on the researchers' criteria [8] were 30 women
entrepreneurs involved in food industries.

The women entrepreneurs were mostly engaged in an
eaterywith 33.33percent the highest among the other kind of
businesses. It is one of the most common and simple kinds of
businesses in the Philippines. Filipinos are known to eat a
lot, a great source of idea for entrepreneurs that open
opportunity. Filipinos are constantly eating. Three meals a
day just isn’t enough, so they’ve added two meryendas [9].
Eatery the most rewarding right types of businesses to invest
in the Philippines as you serve hungry customers while
turning a neat profit when managed properly[10].
In terms of the starting capital of the respondents, 53.33
percent were those who are on the bracket of below 20,000.
This merely implies that with a lower capital aspiring
entrepreneurs can start their own food business. The capital
need is about P15,000 to open a small carinderia (eatery) or
food kiosk. The money will go to two weeks’ worth of
inventory of food and ingredients, equipment and utensils,
space rentals, and barangay permit fees. An entrepreneur
may need a lower amount if he/she will do business in his/her
own backyard or front yard (deduct P1,500 to P2,000 from
the original estimate if this is the case) and if he/she will use
his/her own existing kitchen utensils (deduct their brand-new
cost). Assuming an income of P600 daily six days a week, an
entrepreneur can expect to recover his/her investment by the
second month [11].
The highest source of capital of the women entrepreneurs is
from their own savings with 70 percent. The majority of the
respondents are capable of starting their business using their
own money. Twenty-three point thirty-three percent of the
respondents were supported by family members while 6.67
percent availed loan.

day battles [12]. The entrepreneur to consumers (end-user) is
the highest with 63.34 percent among the distribution
channel that the respondents used. Women entrepreneurs
have their own business stalls.
As to the promotion, 60 percent of the respondents used
personal selling to promote their product. This is a very
effective way to use in business since it requires face to face
encounter with the customer.

The data shows the problems encountered by the women
entrepreneurs in running their businesses. First in rank
(43.34%) is a lack of resources. Since entrepreneurs create
new products to market some require ingredients that are
imported, uncommon and seasonal. Availability of the
resources like meat, chicken, and seafood affected when
diseases arise (African Swine flu, bird flu, red tide,etc.).
Competition in business comes second (23.33%) as the
problem encountered by the entrepreneurs. The food industry
is a popular and open opportunity for an aspiring
entrepreneur. The growth also raised competition in the
industry. The foodservice industry in the Philippines is
growing at a phenomenal rate and everyone wants a part of it
[12].
Other factor ranked 3rd (13.33%) was also encountered by
the respondents. It includes weather condition such as the
rainy season. From a business perspective, weather can have
a significant impact on the bottom line [13].Lack of Financial
Fund was ranked 4th (23.33%) by the respondents. Debt is
common to all especially to a business owner for additional
capital. Starting your own business often means getting into
debt. You might have a little equity of your own for the
setup, but chances are you’ll also be using a loan, a credit
card, or even a few investors [14].
Lastly, accessibility (6.67%) and Indebtedness (3.33%) were
the lasts in rankand are the least challenges for women
entrepreneurs.
IV. CONCLUSIONS
Most of the respondents were engaged in the Eatery business.
In terms of Start-up Capital, the lower fund is involved.
Many of the respondents used their personal savings to open
their businesses and used their own ideas to conceptualize the
businesses.
The distribution channel that commonly used is product
direct to the consumer (end-user).To promote the product
respondents prefer personal selling. Lastly, the lack of
resources is the problem that was most encountered by the
respondents.
The results of this study may aid the researchers' ways of
improving [15] their business and entrepreneurial skills.
Lastly, a project feasibility study is recommended to identify
[16] the potential market of the women entrepreneurs’ in
different industries in the country.
