EXPERIMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF ZIGBEE AS THE COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY OF A WIRELE...ijassn
Wireless Sensor Networks are considered an important part of the modern ICT solutions for greenhouse monitoring. Several communication technologies are already available and have been used both in pilot and commercial installations. Their attractiveness is based on their deployment flexibility and low cost.However, some special features of the greenhouses and their cultivations (variable microclimate
conditions, greenhouse construction materials, size and composition of plants, spatio temporally variable
foliage) raise questions about the proper topology and network density in such an environment. In this
paper, the findings of our experimentation regarding the use of ZigBee as the communication technology
for a WSN deployed in a greenhouse complex with hydroponic cultivation of tomato crops are presented.Different topologies were investigated and the impact of the plants' foliage in the network nodes connectivity is assessed.
Agriculture is once seen as outdated, unprofitable, hard work and laborious; it is now a dynamic sector, offering a multitude of opportunities for entrepreneurship along the entire agribusiness value chain.
Drawing on the concepts of global value chains, representatives from Duke University’s Center on Globalization, Governance & Competitiveness (CGGC) examined evidence contributing to three main debates surrounding the potential of PPPs to truly bring about inclusive development. This panel presented research findings on USAID-supported partnerships and upgrading trajectories experienced in the cocoa sector in Indonesia, the coffee sector in Rwanda, and the horticulture sector in Kenya. This research examines what historical PPPs can teach us about how to use this approach to actually benefit the poor.

The structural adjustments of the 1980s and 1990s led to drastic fiscal cuts in financing of public extension systems causing their near collapse in many developing countries. Several new players tried to enter and fill the vacuum, including the private sector. Yet it is not clear how much and how well the private sector is able to fill the gap left by the dysfunctional public systems. This seminar is based on a recent book titled Knowledge Driven Development: Global Lessons from Private Extension (2015, Elsevier), a collection of case studies evaluating 10 private extension models in seven developing countries. The book assesses the functioning of private sector extension systems in various contextual settings. Common knowledge is that most private sector extension models are implemented for, and seem to work well for farmers selling high value commodities. But for staple commodity growers (such as cereal growers), with a small market surplus and little scope for contract farming, these systems may not be sustainable due to cost factors. Some of the case studies challenges this conventional wisdom. Lessons drawn from the cases could be important in giving direction to future development, research and policy on private extension systems. It is observed that private companies have created shared value for farmers across all cases. Integrated services provided as part of private extension programs were a major contributing factor for their success. Private extension programs also help in the effective use of technology for increasing farmer productivity. Additionally, they provide assured market access and price to contracted farmers, thereby reducing the uncertainty of demand to a great extent. Extension programs implemented by private companies lead to inclusive innovation by engaging farmers in development of technical and market solutions. They also reduce barriers to accessing quality inputs. Further, they tend to induce collective action amongst farmer groups, increasing solidarity. Private extension is demand driven, directly addresses information needs of contract farmers, and under certain conditions can fill the gap left by public extension systems in developing countries.

Companies today, move towards green as the consumers are concerned about the natural surroundings. Natural environmental influence our day-today lives in many ways, yet only few academics have discussed green issues in Sri Lankan context. Hence, this paper is an attempt to investigate the consumers purchasing behavior and attitudes towards eco-friendly fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) with special reference to cosmetics &personal care products.

Abstract: Online Food Applications such as Food Panda and Grab Food have become some of the most downloaded applications in the Philippines. They are well known for the convenience they offer and their user-friendly system. The researchers aim to determine the demographic study of customer preference in using online food applications. The study is qualitative and used snowball sampling and online food application users. The researchers have interviewed 20 participants; the results show that participants ages 19-22 years old use online food applications because of their convenience and accessibility. Also, most of them agreed that discounts affect customers' decision-making in ordering. The results indicate that online food applications have increased due to the pandemic compared to the variables used in the analysis. The most critical aspect that has a significant effect on online food applications is convenience and restaurant choice.

A Study on Television Advertisement on Consumer Buying Behaviour at Darling E...ijtsrd
Television advertising helps to make the product appealing to a person's basic motives and influence their behaviour and attitude towards the product. Advertisement assumes a noteworthy job in inducing, educating and reminding both potential and existing customers towards settling on buying behaviour. It plays a vital role in shaping dreams and aspirations and helps the customer to take conscious product and brand decisions. The main objective of the study is to find the association between gender of the respondent and factors influence advertisement on consumer behaviour. In this study Primary and secondary data was used for analyzing the data. Questionnaire was used to collect primary data. In this study 80 samples are selected at random from a population of 100 customers. The data were analyzed using the Karl Pearson coefficient of correlation and chi square. Suitable suggestions and conclusions were made from the findings of the study. Nivetha. M | Gnanapreetha.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
