This study reviews the agricultural development perspective in the light of a rapid space technology development. In other words, precision agriculture as part of geoinformatics. The aim is to quantify whether the adopted technology can improve the efficiency of agricultural fields management and production to attain food security. Therefore, views of targeted groups from different States of Sudan were investigated, using stratified sampling method. Where quantitative statistics (descriptive/inductive techniques) was applied. About 800 questionnaires were distributed. The outcomes of data analysis reflected that the majority of interviewed groups 357 (82.1%) do not know the principles and application of integrated technology in the field of agricultural management. 85.3% of respondents know nothing about computer program related to precision agriculture. The majority of the respondents (84.6 %), did not get courses on precision agriculture during the under graduate study. The result also revealed that only 11.8% of the respondents use modern techniques in land preparation, 16.1 % in soil analysis, 12.5 % in the field of seed technology, and 11.4% in crop harvesting. However, 53.9% of the respondents reported that their Departments did not care about training on agricultural precision. Nevertheless, 24.3 % of the respondents got trained on precision agriculture through personal efforts, while about 19% got trained by their respective Departments. In regard to education, 16% of the respondents got trained on precision agriculture at undergraduate and only 9% after graduation. The study concludes that despite the rapid technological development, agriculture in Sudan remained lagging, and the productivity is below the expectation. It recommends that the Ministries of Agriculture in different States in Sudan should take the issue of introduction of new technology seriously to boost the agricultural development to attain food security.

SUMMARYRice (Oryza sativa L.) is an important staple crop in South Sudan. Current rice consumption in the country is approximately 23,000 mg year−1 of which more than 75% is imported. We investigated farmers’ perceived rice production and productivity constraints and choice of rice ideotypes across rainfed and irrigated rice agro-ecologies in South Sudan to guide breeding and policy interventions. Data were gathered through participatory rural approaches and a formal structured survey involving 136 rice farmers from major rice growing areas of South Sudan. Farmers generally cultivated old rice varieties with low yields varying from 0.4 to 1.6 mg ha−1. Pair-wise ranking based on respondents score indicated yield, early maturity, cooking and eating quality, nutritional importance and drought tolerance as the most desirable traits of rice ideotypes. Further, imported rice varieties were best ranked for their sweet and appealing taste, rich aroma, grain shape and size, swelling capacity and non-stickiness during cooking. Major perceived constraints to rice production were unreliable rainfall, poor access to credit facilities, poor soil and water management practices, poor rice storage facilities, inadequate and poor processing machines as well as limited technical skills in rice production. The results show a need for integration of farmers’ and stakeholders’ preferences in variety development process and the desirability of releasing site-specific rice cultivars given the differences in bio-physical, socio-cultural and farmers preferences across major rice growing areas of South Sudan.

Full textAbstract:
Maintaining profitability under conditions of limited water availability is a key issue facing dairy farmers in the Shepparton Irrigation Region. These farmers predominantly use border-check irrigation. Pressurised irrigation methods are seen as one option for increasing productivity from the limited water resources. This study reports on landowners’ perceptions towards the adoption of centre pivot and lateral move irrigators, based on survey and factor analysis. The survey was of 20 landowners using face-to-face interviews. Factor analysis was used to identify broad categories of benefits and barriers that best summarised farmers’ responses to survey questions. Improved farm management, productivity benefits, lifestyle benefits and improved marketability of farms were identified as the key benefits of adopting centre pivot and lateral move irrigators perceived by farmers. Capital cost, operation and maintenance costs, layout of the farm and unreliability of systems were seen as the key barriers. An understanding of these perceived benefits and barriers is the first step towards the development of extension information relating to the adoption of centre pivot and lateral move irrigation systems.

Full textAbstract:
Energy security is one of the challenging issues hindering developmental progress in developing countries. Wind power as a renewable energy source can play a significant role in poverty reduction if adequate information is provided. In this study, multi-approach technics were applied for a better understanding of the wind energy potential in Jubek State, South Sudan. Geographic Information System (GIS), remote sensing, and mathematical equations were applied in identifying suitable locations, potential power per unit area, wind farm layout, design of appropriate turbine size, and utilization of wind energy in both agricultural and domestic sectors. Wind speed, land use land cover, and digital elevation maps of the study area were processed in ArcGIS, MATLAB (Weibull distribution), and Minitab software. The results show that 17,331.4 km2 (94.64%) of the study area is appropriate for wind power generation, with wind density of about 3.65 W/m2 and installation capacity about 19,757.79 MW, resulting in an annual energy production of about 7269.29 GWh. With the proposed wind turbine, one ton of various crops and animal products require 1–4 and 2–20 turbines, respectively. Therefore, the step-by-step procedures followed in this study will contribute to poverty reduction through improving agricultural productivity and food quality.

Abstract. The effects of development and the uncertainty of a changing climate in East Africa pose myriad challenges for water managers along the Blue Nile. Sudan's large irrigation potential, hydroelectric dams, and prime location within the basin mean that Sudan's water management decisions will have great social, economic and political implications within the region. At the same time, Sudan's water use options are constrained by tradeoffs between upstream irrigation developments and downstream hydropower facilities as well as by the country's commitments under existing or future transboundary water sharing agreements. Here, we present a model that can be applied to evaluate optimal allocation of surface water resources to irrigation and hydropower in the Sudanese portion of the Blue Nile. Hydrologic inputs are combined with agronomic and economic inputs to formulate an optimization model within the General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS). A sensitivity analysis is performed by testing model response to a range of economic conditions and to changes in the volume and timing of hydrologic flows. Results indicate that changing hydroclimate inputs have the capacity to greatly influence the productivity of Sudan's water resources infrastructure. Results also show that the economically optimal volume of water consumption, and thus the importance of existing treaty constraints, is sensitive to the perceived value of agriculture relative to electricity as well as to changing hydrological conditions.

This study examined man, machine, and technology integration services in a digital economy. This arises out of the need to downplay the fear of machines and rapid technological changes towards replacing man and downgrading its importance. The study takes epistemological conceptual reasoning into consideration and exhibits man as unique that would remain the centre of force behind the digital economy. The chapter establishes that the effective use of machines with the right technology to revolutionize every sector of the economy by most developed countries has improved their growth and development with a positive impact on the citizens' standards of living. The study concludes that artificial intelligence machines are not bound to displace more jobs in the workplace than the benefits it meant to create for performing day-to-day business activities towards achieving meaningful productivity and the benefit of mankind in general.

This paper describes an investigation into alternative management models applied to public call centres operations with the aim of delivering significant added value to the overall public firm. Call centres offer significant potential for value creation. However, in practice they are often created as mechanistic organisations and managed in such a way is to inhibit value creation. An investigation in a UK city council was carried out through the means of a case study using both qualitative and quantitative methods to collect data from directors, middle-managers and employees to evaluate the development of a lean thinking type of call centre. The results indicate that by implementing the lean thinking approach to the design of call centre service operations significant, but often counter-intuitive, benefits can be created. Lean thinking was found to yield improvements in service performance, value work productivity, and employees’ affective commitment. Evidence on lean value-added to the public call centres is very limited, this paper addresses this shortcoming.

Human motivation is the centre of interest for many specialists in management because it is the activity that produces the most profound economic consequences for organizations. As employees become more involved in IT processes, traditional methods of motivation are no longer efficient, and so within this paper drastic changes in practices related to human resources can be seen. This article intends to identify and analyse the motivational profile of employees in simulated enterprises as well as develop a plan to measure motivation adapted to the Romanian socio-economic reality. Thus, managers should avoid common approaches in the development of programs, models, and policies to help motivate employees. This will allow them to be able to create a work environment that will allow employees to motivate themselves because extrinsic motivation can decrease productivity.

One of the most popular sub-disciplines of archaeology is experimental archaeology, the re-creation of items, structures, and practices of past societies in the present day. This area of study has a long pedigree in Continental Europe, but was a relatively late development in Britain. One of the pioneers of this approach was Peter Reynolds, who created the Butser Ancient Farm Research Project to explore life in the Iron Age (Reynolds 1979). When it was set up, in the 1970s, experimental archaeology was undertaken with full scientific rigour. Important goals included the quantification of resources required to create a house, the management of ancient breeds of domestic animals, the productivity of Welds of ancient cereals, and the function of pits. All these tasks were carried out with a critical attention to detailed data recording and scientific rigour. More recently, experimental archaeology has become geared towards the general public, and though Butser Farm has retained a scientific core to its activities it also caters for a wider public, providing both knowledge and entertainment about past societies. I had a brief experience of this work in 1977 when I took part in a week-long Weld school at Butser Farm, organized by Glasgow University. This was a key period in the development of the Iron Age farm. The original farm had been created on a spur near the top of Butser, specifically away from easy public access and in a very exposed location. Public interest in the experiment had become difficult to manage and a new site had just been located in the Queen Elizabeth Country Park, a much more accessible location near the main road from Portsmouth to London. The new location was designed to be a public amenity that would attract visitors to the Country Park and represented a move from ‘Laboratory to Living Museum’ (Reynolds 1979: 93). The main job we were to undertake was to help with the construction of a large roundhouse that would form the centre of the new farm. Two previous timber houses had been built up on the hill, but both had been fairly modest affairs; one was based on a house plan from Wheeler’s excavation at Maiden Castle, the other was slightly larger and based on the excavation of a house in the Balksbury enclosure, Hampshire (Reynolds 1979).

The relevance of the topic lies in the fact that the transition to innovative personal management is currently a global trend to improve enterprise management processes in the context of deep integration of the world market, high-tech industries, increased competition and improved uncertainty of the external environment in relation to the enterprise, considering the motivational system. The purpose of the research is to study the role of motivation and corporate culture as the basis for innovative development and improving the productivity of an organization. The database was used by a banking organization; for instance, during the study the approaches of scientists were studied and diagnostic methods for studying the components of corporate culture were selected. Based on the results, a model of practical implementation was formulated, and a sociological experiment was conducted. On this ground using results of the experiment, statistical data on labour productivity were obtained and methodological recommendations were made for using the model proposed in the article. The results obtained are presented as a diagnostic tool and used to include the contact centre management in the work process.

Abstract PETRONAS is operating total of more than 1,200 km in total length of pipeline onshore/offshore transporting processed and semi-process hydrocarbon with total no of >500 nos of pipelines within Peninsular of Malaysia as well as Sabah and Sarawak in Borneo. PETRONAS Group Technical Solutions (GTS) as a Centre of Excellence (COE) is providing services in design engineering as well as integrity solutions to pipeline operators operating assets wholly owned by and partly owned by PETRONAS operating within Malaysia as well as overseas. Records shows that aging facilities in the upwards trending approaching or beyond design life. Thus, for the past 10 years, PETRONAS has adopted ISO/TS 12747 – Recommended practice for pipeline life extension in ascertain current and future integrity of aging pipeline and determine risk-based inspection plan. Other than managing aging facilities, GTS also providing solutions in managing pipeline integrity for all major pipeline threat which requires proactive approach to reduce the risk at ALARP Level. One of the pipeline threats is geohazard due to soil movement along the pipeline right of way. EML Survey was conducted but requires further assessment by pipeline engineers to determine the severity to the pipeline due this soil movement. Each integrity assessment maybe painstaking and repetitive with duration of 1 months to 6 months based on the severity and complexity of inspection records. Taking advantage of PETRONAS inhouse digital platform data icloudbased and to align with Industrial Revolution 4.0, PETRONAS has embarked Robotic Process Automation to leverage on the digital data and to improve on the productivity. PETRONAS Group Digital, were consulted to assist on the development of RPA using commercialised software available in the market. This paper describes the process of RPA PipeRBot - Pipeline Integrity Assessments Virtual Robots to assist our Engineers to perform Integrity Assessments and increase process cycle efficiency. This PiperBothas completed proof of concept and ready to for deployment. With this Automation, we have achieved more than 50% of process efficiency and increase in productivity and more cost saving to end users which is pipeline operators, operating assets wholly owned by and partly owned by PETRONAS operating within Malaysia as well as overseas in PETRONAS Canada.

Full textAbstract:
This brief summarises key considerations concerning cross-border dynamics between South Sudan and Uganda in the context of the 2022 outbreak of Ebola in Uganda, and the risk of the spread of the virus into South Sudan. It is one of four briefs exploring cross-border dynamics in the context of the outbreak, alongside Kenya, Rwanda and Tanzania. The outbreak is of the Sudan strain of Ebola (Sudan Virus Disease, SVD). SVD is used in this paper to refer to the current outbreak in East Africa, whereas outbreaks of Zaire Ebolavirus disease or general references to Ebola are referred to as EVD. The outbreak of SVD began in Mubende, Uganda, on 19 September 2022. At the time of writing (25 November), there had been 141 confirmed cases and 55 deaths, including seven health workers. Infections had been confirmed in nine districts in Uganda, including in Kampala – a major transport hub. Vaccines used in previous Ebola outbreaks are effective against the Zaire strain of Ebola, and vaccines that could work against the Sudan strain remain under investigation. As of November 2022, there have been no confirmed cases of SVD imported into South Sudan, although several alerts have been investigated. However, the fear that travellers from Uganda might bring the disease into South Sudan has spurred preparations by government institutions and partner organisations, building on the experiences acquired during past outbreaks, particularly Ebola and COVID-19. An EVD High Level Taskforce has been formed, chaired by the Minister for Cabinet Affairs and co-chaired by the Minister of Health. The South Sudan Ministry of Health (MoH) has activated the Public Health Emergency Operation Centre (PHEOC) and Incident Management System (IMS). A national EVD Readiness Plan has been developed and endorsed by the government. A free hotline (number 6666) is in place, which can be used either to report suspected cases or for information on Ebola. Training of staff at border entry points has started. This brief is based on a rapid review of published and grey literature, and informal discussions with the South Sudan Red Cross, IOM, academics from University of Juba, and the PHEOC. It was requested by the Collective Service and was written by Leben Nelson Moro (University of Juba) and Alice Robinson (London School of Economics). It was reviewed by colleagues at the University of Bath, the PHEOC, Internews, Anthrologica, the Institute of Development Studies and the Collective Service. The brief is the responsibility of the Social Science in Humanitarian Action Platform (SSHAP).
