Determinants of Adoption of Improved Agricultural Technology and Its Impact o...Premier Publishers
The importance of agricultural technology in enhancing production and productivity can be realized when yield increasing and technologies are widely been used and diffused. Standing from this logical ground, this paper aimed at identifying the factors affecting agricultural technology adoption decision and examining the impact of adoption on household’s income in chiro district west Hararghe zone, Oromia national regional state, Ethiopia. Both primary and secondary data was used; primary data was collected through structured questionnaire administered on 97 randomly selected smallholder farmers and secondary data was collected from published and unpublished document related to this topic. For data analysis purpose both Probit and Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression models were employed. From the total 97 respondents 80 of them were adopted improved agricultural Technology while the left were not adopted improved agricultural technology in the study area. The regression result revealed that agricultural technology adoption has a positive and significant effect on household income by which adopters are better-offs than non-adopters. The probit regression result revealed that gender of the household head; access to irrigation, credit service; extension service and income of the household head significantly affect adoption of improved agricultural technology in the study area. From these finding researchers recommend that government should encourage small scale irrigation, credit service and extension service in the study area.
This chapter is intended to ensure that students understand why agricultural policies are needed in both developing and developed countries. It will also shed light on the major forces that cause policy change, reasons for government involvement in agriculture and the place of agricultural policies in the future.
Agricultural marketing problems in Bangladesh involves cleaning & drying, absence of organized storage, lack of transportation, processing & preservation, lack of organized marketing etc.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Econ Question Strip
3. Economic Systems
An economic system describes how a
country’s economy is organized
Because of the problem of scarcity, every
country needs a system to determine how to use
its productive resources
Scarcity = not having enough of something
An economic system must answer 3
questions…
4. The 3 Economic Questions (3E?’s)
1. WHAT TO PRODUCE? (What kinds of goods and
services should be produced?)
2. HOW TO PRODUCE? (What productive resources are
used to produce goods and services?)
3. FOR WHOM TO PRODUCE? (Who gets to have the
goods and services?
5. Three Types of Economic
Systems:
1. Traditional Economy
2. Command Economy
3. Market Economy
* Most countries are… Mixed Economies!
(Market + Command)
6. Traditional Economy
An economic system in which economic
decisions are based on customs and beliefs
People will make what they always made &
will do the same work their parents did
Exchange of goods is done through
Bartering: trading without using money
7. How a Traditional Economy
answers the 3E?’s
Who decides what to produce?
People follow their customs and make what
their ancestors made
Who decides how to produce goods &
services?
People grow & make things the same way that
their ancestors did
Who are the goods & services produced
for?
People in the village who need them
11. Command System
Government makes all economic decisions &
owns most of the property
Governmental planning groups determine such
things as the prices of goods/services & the wages
of workers
This system has not been very successful & more
and more countries are abandoning it
12. How a Command Economy
answers the 3E?’s
Who decides what to produce?
Government makes all economic decisions
Who decides how to produce goods
and services?
Government decides how to make
goods/services
Who are the goods and services
produced for?
Whoever the government decides to give them
to
13. Command System
Countries with communist governments have
Command economies
Examples: There are no truly pure command
economic systems, but close countries are:
North Korea, former Soviet Union, Cuba
*Germany and Russia have moved away from
having a Command economy since 1991. Now they
have a Mixed economy.
14. Positives of a
command economy
Because the government
makes the decisions, people
don’t have to worry about
employment, housing,
education, and healthcare
15. Problems with a
command economy
Consumers get low
priority
Little freedom of choice
All resources are owned
by the government
16. Market Economy
An economic system in which production
and distribution questions are answered by
prices and profits (supply and demand)
Most of the resources are owned by private
citizens
Economic decisions are based on Free
Enterprise (competition between
companies)
Important economic questions are not answered
by gov. but by individuals
Gov. does not tell a business what goods to
produce or what price to charge
17. How a Market Economy answers
the 3E?’s
Who decides what to produce?
Businesses base decisions on supply and demand
and free enterprise (PRICE)
Who decides how to produce goods
and services?
Businesses decide how to produce goods
Who are the goods and services
produced for?
consumers
18. Market Economy
There are no truly pure Market economies,
but the United States is close.
19. In a truly free market economy, the
government would not be involved at all
There would be no laws to protect workers form
unfair bosses
There would be no rules to make sure that
credit cards were properly protected
Many societies have chosen to have some
rules to protect consumers, workers, and
businesses (MIXED)
These rules reduce the freedoms that businesses
have, but they also protect the workers and
consumers
20. Positives of a
market economy
People can start their own
businesses
People have choice
21. Problems with a
market economy
The desire for money may
lead to poor quality of
goods and services
Business owners have to
risk losing money
22. Mixed Economy
Market + Command = Mixed
Businesses own most resources and determine
what and how to produce, but the
government regulates certain industries
There are no pure command or market
economies.
To some degree, all modern economies exhibit
characteristics of both systems and are often
referred to as mixed economies.
Most economies are closer to one type of economic
system than another
23. How a Mixed Economy answers
the 3E?’s
Who decides what to produce?
businesses
Who decides how to produce goods and
services?
Businesses, but the government regulates
certain industries
Who are the goods and services produced
for?
consumers
24. Mixed Economies
Most democratic countries fall in this
category (there are no truly pure Market or
Command economies).
Examples: Brazil, Mexico, Canada, UK, US,
Germany, Russia, Australia, etc.
27. Which Economic System Is Best?
Market system has proven to be best
because it promotes the goals of growth,
freedom, & efficiency
Citizens are free to own their own property and
use it in the most efficient and profitable way
Command and Traditional systems
sometimes offer more security, but are not
nearly as strong in efficiency, growth,
freedom, and environmental quality
