Artificial...

Integrity Assessment Strategies for the Energy-Efficient Components, Structures and Systems

The urgent need to combat global warming and environmental pollution underscores the importance of developing energy-efficient systems that effectively reduce emissions. One of the possible strategies for achieving energy efficiency consists in diminishing the mass of mechanical systems since mass reduction implies decreased inertia, lower fuel and energy consumption, and...

Mapping of the Socio-Semantic Network of the Arhitektura Magazine (1931-1934)

Networks serve as a metaphor for understanding various phenomena in humanities, encompassing the circulation of ideas, people, and artifacts. This research employs network analysis, drawing from H. C. White’s concept of netdom, to capture social and language patterns within Ljubljana’s Arhitektura magazine from 1931 to 1934. Its objective was to map the socio-semantic network of...

Review on Social Protection Schemes in Rural Ethiopia

Widespread livelihood shocks and vulnerability in rural areas highlight the critical need to extend the provision of social protection interventions, as targeted to reduce vulnerabilities and poverty. Evaluating the real effects of social protection instruments on rural communities is an important concern for governments and policymakers. Hence, the objectives of this review were...

Food and Water Access Predictors of Food Security among Rural Households in Langai District, North-Central Nigeria

Research has shown that food insecurity in households and communities are increasing globally. More people are reported to now having difficulty in accessing safe and quality foods.
