IoT Sensors in Precision Agriculture
type: item
description: Precision agriculture leverages IoT sensors to monitor soil health and optimise crop yields in agricultural settings. Data from field trials was analysed using linear regression models to assess the relationship between sensor readings and yield outcomes. A comparative analysis revealed that IoT sensors significantly improved soil moisture levels by an average of 15% in Burkina Faso, leading to a 7.2% increase in maize yields compared to conventional farming methods. The study underscores the potential of IoT sensors for enhancing crop productivity through precise data-driven agricultural practices. Investment should be prioritised in IoT sensor deployment and training programmes for local farmers to maximise yield improvements. Precision Agriculture, Soil Health, Crop Yields, IoT Sensors, Burkina Faso, Southern Sudan Model estimation used $\hat{\theta}=argmin_{\theta}\sum_i\ell(y_i,f_\theta(x_i))+\lambda\lVert\theta\rVert_2^2$, with performance evaluated using out-of-sample error.

Open Data Initiatives and Governance Transparency in Tanzania
type: item
description: Open data initiatives have gained traction globally as a means to enhance transparency and accountability in governance. A comprehensive search strategy was employed across multiple databases to identify relevant literature. Studies were selected based on predefined inclusion criteria. The analysis revealed a significant increase (p < 0.05) of 20% in public trust towards government services due to open data initiatives, with a notable focus on health and education sectors. Open data initiatives play a pivotal role in fostering governance transparency by increasing public trust and improving service delivery efficiency. Further research should be conducted to assess the long-term impact of open data initiatives on democratic participation and accountability. Model estimation used $\hat{\theta}=argmin_{\theta}\sum_i\ell(y_i,f_\theta(x_i))+\lambda\lVert\theta\rVert_2^2$, with performance evaluated using out-of-sample error.

Integrating IoT Sensors into Livestock Management Systems for Zambian Cattle Ranchers
type: item
description: The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors into livestock management systems has emerged as a promising approach for enhancing productivity and sustainability in agricultural settings. The research utilised a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative data from IoT sensors with qualitative interviews among selected ranchers. Statistical analysis included regression models to assess the impact of sensor data on operational outcomes. A notable finding was that the average reduction in feed wastage per herd equipped with IoT sensors was 10%, indicating a significant improvement in resource management. The study concludes that while IoT integration offers substantial benefits, further research is needed to optimise sensor placement and data interpretation for broader application across different ranching environments. Ranchers are advised to prioritise system scalability and cost-efficiency when considering IoT investments. Training programmes should be developed to ensure effective use of the technology by farmers. Model estimation used $\hat{\theta}=argmin_{\theta}\sum_i\ell(y_i,f_\theta(x_i))+\lambda\lVert\theta\rVert_2^2$, with performance evaluated using out-of-sample error.

Cybersecurity Threats and Mitigation Strategies in East African Financial Systems
type: item
description: The East African financial sector is increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats due to rapid technological advancements and increasing reliance on digital platforms. A systematic search strategy was employed across multiple databases including Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Studies published between and were included. Findings indicate a significant increase in cyber attacks targeting financial institutions in the region, with a proportion of over 40% attributed to ransomware incidents. The review highlights the critical need for enhanced cybersecurity measures, including the implementation of robust encryption protocols and regular security audits. Financial regulators should mandate mandatory training programmes for all financial sector personnel on cyber threat awareness. Financial institutions must invest in advanced cybersecurity technologies to protect against emerging threats. Model estimation used $\hat{\theta}=argmin_{\theta}\sum_i\ell(y_i,f_\theta(x_i))+\lambda\lVert\theta\rVert_2^2$, with performance evaluated using out-of-sample error.

type: item
description: Micro-commercial agriculture clusters in Mozambique's coastal regions are pivotal for economic development and environmental sustainability. A systematic search strategy was employed across academic databases to identify relevant studies. Studies were assessed using predefined criteria for quality and relevance. The analysis revealed that agricultural clusters in coastal areas of Mozambique achieve an average sustainable yield increase of 12% compared to traditional farming methods, with a standard deviation of ±3%. This suggests a clear trend towards enhanced productivity. While the reviewed studies highlight positive economic and environmental outcomes, there is variability across different regions and practices. Future research should focus on implementing more robust monitoring systems. Investment in technology infrastructure to enhance precision agriculture practices could significantly boost yields while reducing environmental impact. Model estimation used $\hat{\theta}=argmin_{\theta}\sum_i\ell(y_i,f_\theta(x_i))+\lambda\lVert\theta\rVert_2^2$, with performance evaluated using out-of-sample error.
