Review on IoT Mobile App based on Rural Development in Terms of Agriculture

As India is still a developing country, it has a lot of rural areas wherein the living conditions and standards are below world standards and may even be on the underdeveloped scale of living standards. In order to achieve development in these regions the first and foremost step to initiate is to improve the agriculture standards and methodologies and bring in new technology to improve the methods used in agriculture which is the major source of income to these people. This project is a four staged project which intends on improving the agriculture standards of India. The first stage of the project is an automated humidity and moisture control for the soil, this will help the farmers in automating certain aspects and hence eliminate certain human errors and improve yield. The second stage of the project is an agriculture auction portal wherein the farmers can directly auction their products to the wholesaler without the need of a middle man/broker. The third stage of the project is an android app which conducts various surveys and suggests a new farmer the type of farming/seeds to be planted / soil information and other such relevant data in respect to agriculture which would help increase the yield for a new farmer. The last part of the project is a seed cum financial bank which helps the farmers by providing financial as well as seed aid in times of financial crisis.

MARKETING BEHAVIOUR OF JASMINE GROWERS IN DINDIGUL DISTRICT OF TAMIL NADU

Jasmine flower is used for various purposes viz. making garlands, bouquets, decorating hair of women, religious offerings etc. Scientific cultivation of jasmine is one of the important prerequisites for increasing the production and productivity among the jasmine growers.

System for Remote Collaborative Embedded Development

This paper explores the challenges and devised solutions for embedded development which arose during the COVID-19 pandemic. While software development, nowadays with modern tools and services such as git, virtual machines and commu-nication suits, is relatively una˙ected by resource location. That is not the case for firmware and embedded systems, which relies on physical hard-ware for design, development, and testing. To overcome the limitations of remote work and ob-structed access to actual hardware, two ideas were implemented and tested. First, based on inte-grated circuit emulation using QEMU to emulate an ARM core and custom software to facilitate communication with the embedded system. Sec-ond, remote programming and debugging over the internet with a dedicated computer system acting as a middle man between a development environ-ment and physical hardware using OpenOCD de-bugger.

Green Tea and Its Relation to Human Gut Microbiome

Green tea can influence the gut microbiota by either stimulating the growth of specific species or by hindering the development of detrimental ones. At the same time, gut bacteria can metabolize green tea compounds and produce smaller bioactive molecules. Accordingly, green tea benefits could be due to beneficial bacteria or to microbial bioactive metabolites. Therefore, the gut microbiota is likely to act as middle man for, at least, some of the green tea benefits on health. Many health promoting effects of green tea seems to be related to the inter-relation between green tea and gut microbiota. Green tea has proven to be able to correct the microbial dysbiosis that appears during several conditions such as obesity or cancer. On the other hand, tea compounds influence the growth of bacterial species involved in inflammatory processes such as the release of LPS or the modulation of IL production; thus, influencing the development of different chronic diseases. There are many studies trying to link either green tea or green tea phenolic compounds to health benefits via gut microbiota. In this review, we tried to summarize the most recent research in the area.

Interaction effects of pig farming systems with educational level on performances of pig production systems in Manokwari District, West Papua-Indonesia

The aim of this research was to characterize pig farming system performances tethered under different agro-ecological zones in Papua.

In keeping systems, effect is real on experience, work hours, location, and ethnic. Interaction do not significant exist in number of pigs including see middle man, visited consumer, litter size, number of farrowing and income sources.

On Semiperiphery Life: Autoethnography of Being Academics Middleman

It is a middle text about being a middle-man. I am a middle-man from the periphery. So, this is my voice. About a life that has no matter. About what I am being taught when I try to speak within the international scientific/autoethnographic community.

Kapital Politik: Kuasa yang Mengikat dalam Relasi Kerja Nelayan dan Pangamba’ di Pondok Mimbo

This article discusses the role of power on the work relations of fishermen and the middle man at Pondok Mimbo. Engagement occurs when the fisherman builds a partnership and accept a work contract, as long as the contract has not been completed. The fisherman must provide the fish catch to the middle man before it is sold to the trader and then share the results according to the work agreement which is 10% to 20% for the middle man from the income of the fisherman. The absence of work contract restrictions makes the relationship so binding because fishermen must comply with the amba system 'or the prevailing norms. As a result, fishermen will continue to be bound to the middle man but, because the relationship is for capital needs, it requires fishermen to pay it to the middle man to be free from the employment contract. The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the role of political capital in the relations of fishermen and the middle man. This research method is qualitative, supported by participant observation, and in-depth interviews to collect data. The results showed the existence of power in the work relations of fishermen and the middle man especially in the attitude of compliance, even showing the existence of work competition in the relationship. And each party is cheating work for more profit, whether it's from the fishermen themselves or the middle man. Artikel ini membahas tentang tindakan kuasa atau penggunaan kekuasaan dalam relasi kerja nelayan dan pangamba’ di Pondok Mimbo. Keterikatan terjadi ketika nelayan membangun kerja sama dan menyepakati kontrak kerja dengan pangamba’, tselama kontrak belum selesai maka nelayan harus memberikan hasil tangkapan ikan kepada pangamba’ sebelum di jual ke pedagang yang kemudian dilakukan pembagian hasil sesuai kesepakatan kerja yaitu 10% hingga 20% untuk pangamba’ dari hasil pendapatan nelayan. Tidak adanya batasan kontrak kerja menjadikan relasi tersebut begitu mengikat, karena nelayan harus mematuhi sistim amba’ atau norma yang berlaku. Alhasil, nelayan akan terus terikat dengan pangamba’ namun, karena relasi tersebut untuk kebutuhan modal, mengharuskan nelayan untuk melunasinya kepada pangamba’ agar dapat lepas dari kontrak kerja tersebut. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis peran kapital politik dalam relasi nelayan dan pangamba’. Metode penelitian ini adalah kualitatif, didukung dengan melakukan observasi partisipan dan wawancara mendalam untuk mengumpulkan data. Hasil penelitian menunjukan adanya kekuasaan dalam relasi kerja nelayan dan pangamba’, terutama pada sikap kepatuhan, bahkan menunjukan adanya persaingan kerja dalam relasi tersebut. Selanjurnya, penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa masing-masing pihak melakukan kecurangan kerja demi keuntungan yang lebih, entah itu dari diri nelayan maupun pangamba’.
