Here, the morphology of the M(3000)F2 is considered at two locations within the African equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) region using ionosonde measurements. Data used spans 1993 to 1996 signaling the descending phase of solar cycle 23 (SC23). Results were presented on a diurnal, seasonal and annual basis. Seasonally, the drop in M(3000)F2 during the post-sunset period is more prevalent in equinoxes and almost absent in June solstice across the entire descending phase period. This drop in M(3000)F2 was also observed to diminish with decrease in solar activity, especially in March equinox. The feature appeared 1-hour earlier in Korhogo ahead of Dakar during the seasons of appearance. The seasonal variation is more coherent at daytime than at nighttime across the entire years at Korhogo in comparison to the observation at Dakar. Annually, high solar activity years are characterized by lower values and vice versa for most of the seasons showing the dependency of M(3000)F2 on sunspot activity. The (M(3000)F2) observation suggests that Korhogo data has a better potential of being included in the development of African regional model than that of Dakar owning to its consistency in the appearance of the post-sunset drop in value feature, which gives a better representation of the height of the peak electron density of the F2 region. Much of the differences noticed in the M(3000)F2 pattern at Dakar and Korhogo, especially during the nighttime period of the entire descending phase is linked to latitudinal circulation/distribution of plasma initiated by fountain effect.","PeriodicalId":185729,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Science, Engineering and Business for Sustainable Development Goals (SEB-SDG)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134028099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the design and manufacturing process still follows the conventional methodology. Some studies have been done on image synthesis using deep learning techniques for the progress of the fashion industry with little or none of the studies on African fashion. African fashion, especially Nigerian fashion lacks an online presence in terms of artificially generated realistic fashion styles. Since fashion is a way a people express themselves through clothing, footwear, makeup or hairdo in a specific time, place, and environment, this work aims to develop a system that would promote the diversity of the Nigerian people, reduce inequality and promote economic growth in line with the sustainable development goals. In this work, we developed a system that can generate new African fashion designs for men by applying the Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks (DCGAN) using a locally curated image data from publicly accessible and open-source images and the AFRIFASHION40000 dataset. The method involves designing a Male Fashion Generative Framework (MFGF), building an image generation model that can synthesize new fashion images and a neural style transfer model that can style the generated image. The model trained on the AFRIFASHION40000 dataset was found to perform better than the locally curated dataset as indicated by a lower generator loss and a higher discriminator loss. This study provides a solution to the problem of generating new designs for men in the Nigerian fashion industry and highlights the importance of integrating deep learning into the African fashion industry. The result shows a generation of low resolution images that represents different fashion styles for African men. It also provides a framework for future research. The findings can be beneficial to fashion designers, manufacturers, and consumers looking for new and innovative designs.","PeriodicalId":185729,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Science, Engineering and Business for Sustainable Development Goals (SEB-SDG)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117335625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the World Health Organization initiative towards traditional and complementary medicine (WHA62.13); this study identifies the recent developments in scientific research and gaps in the search for affordable plant-based treatment to combat the threat of infectious skin diseases. Bibliometric methodology was adopted for this study. Relevant research documents were retrieved based on well structured query from the Scopus database. The study covered documents published between the periods 1 January 2001 to 22 November 2022. The preliminary query reviewed all document types and was subsequently limited to original research documents. Excel and VOSviewer were used for bibliometric analysis and visualization. A total of 7,908 articles were retrieved based on the original query input for citation information, with 5,917 being original research articles. The highest number of original research articles was recorded in India (15.28%), followed by the United States (13.81%) and China (9.90%). However, most developing countries in Africa still have lower levels of research output. The combined percentage of original articles published in the top three (3) Journal outlets is 8.26%. The latest 2000 articles identified an extensive 6,108 keywords, most centered on wound healing. The exponential rate of research publications reported in this study shows potential for growth and the need for specialization in this field of phytomedicine in treating skin infections. The results also provide useful information for funding bodies and international health agencies on promoting the international exchange of phytotherapeutic research knowledge, especially in poor developing communities in Africa. If implemented, this will help proffer solutions to the menace of skin infectious diseases reported in the primary health care system of these developing countries.","PeriodicalId":185729,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Science, Engineering and Business for Sustainable Development Goals (SEB-SDG)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127430750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Agricultural wastes are biofuels which are an alternative renewable energy source. The current utilization of agricultural wastes as fuel in energy production has reduced the felling of trees for firewood curbing deforestation and reducing the overdependence on rapidly depleting fossil fuels. This study selected two agricultural wastes: groundnut shell (GS) and sugarcane bagasse (SB), as biomass fuels. The study examined the energy capabilities of GS and SB as possible, solid biofuel for process heat production and electricity generation through a fluidized bed for clean combustion and controlled greenhouse gases (GHGs) that would result from their use. The higher heating value (HHV) of GS (18035kJ/kg) is higher than that of SB (16029.88 kJ/kg), Other combustion characteristics indicated that the GS had an excellent heat rate of 501.05kJ/kg over the SB with 451.20kJ/kg despite their similar combustion efficiency. Nevertheless, both biofuels have the potential for use as renewable energy sources. These biomass fuels would replace fossil fuel combustion as a primary energy source, and this is vital globally.","PeriodicalId":185729,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Science, Engineering and Business for Sustainable Development Goals (SEB-SDG)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115902830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study we present a preliminary development of an AI-powered Accident Alert System (AI-PaaS). The system has four modules namely, sensors module, detection module, registration module and messaging module. The detection module is powered by sensing technology and the Hidden Markov Model to intelligently and correctly detect that an accidents sound. The MPU 6050 containing both accelerometer and gyroscope is also integrated to detect any sharp variation in the acceleration and angular vis-a-vis a predefined threshold value. Once an accident has been detected, the messaging module is triggered to communicate first responders and the victims' pre-registered kin. Preliminary results are presented. The system can potentially reduce road accident fatality by providing accurate and timely location-based information to emergency service providers.","PeriodicalId":185729,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Science, Engineering and Business for Sustainable Development Goals (SEB-SDG)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114569729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, due to the need to comply with the World Health Organisation (WHO), guidelines of washing hands regularly to reduce the risk of contracting infections an automated hand washing system was developed with an installed water recycling device. The incorporation of recycling water is to guarantee effective management of energy resources and to reduces environmental pollution. The conceptual architectural design with the aid of AutoCAD software and the incorporation of an Arduino micro controller unit was established. Also, the theoretical knowledge of science and engineering was used to design, construct, and assembled the automated washing machine system with an installed reactor for wastewater treatment, soap dispensers, sensors, water pump, water gauge, water tank,s and micro controller. The working operations with the assembling of relevant sensors enabled liquid soap to be dispensed for 1 second to allow the users to rub their hands for 20 seconds and dispense water for 21 seconds to wash their hands. The used water was filtered to clean water with the aid of a filtration reactor. The clean water then flows into the lower tank and is sent back to the upper tak for reuse by the submersible pump in the lower tank. The water treatment was achieved by adding 13g of aqueous $CaCo_{3}$ and MgSo4 into 180g of used water. The water sample was then analysed in the laboratory to ascertain its purity. A short interview was conducted with fifty people to determine their level of satisfaction with the use of an automated hand-washing system. The performance evaluation was also carried out on the system. The following results were obtained, 98% of the respondents expressed satisfaction with the automated hand washing system. The purity of the treated water was 98.9% for the chemical oxygen demand (COD) and 99.6% for total nitrogen (TN). The microcontroller was successful in coordinating the various activities of the automated system. Conclusively, the developed machine satisfactorily meets the need of covid-19 protocol and effectively reduces the wastage of water.","PeriodicalId":185729,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Science, Engineering and Business for Sustainable Development Goals (SEB-SDG)","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114884097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
