There is a need to understand how photovoltaic systems are affected by external factors such as dust particles. Dust soiling can severely affect the viability of PV systems resulting in substantial economic losses. Models for the relationship between soiling ratio and panel performance have been developed in different parts of the world, such as the Middle-East and the West, but little data has been collected on the African continent, where environmental conditions can deviate significantly. This paper presents the first iteration of an experimental setup that can be used to measure the effect of soiling on the power production of PV modules. The setup consists of a sensor suites embedded to an ESP32 microcontroller. Both dusty and clean panels are placed side by side with the clean panel serving as the control. Power performance data collected from the two panels alongside ambient temperature, humidity, and concentrations of PM2.5 and PM$_{2.5-10}$ particles can be posted and stored on a MySQL database for analysis. The data is also stored locally on an SD card acting as a backup.","PeriodicalId":370986,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference (GHTC)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131339292","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}

Low resource and rural communities in East Africa, and Kenya specifically, are facing issues with students not achieving the national standards for literacy competence by the time they finish primary school, leaving them unequipped to progress in their education. Many groups have been combating this issue, with one particular methodology making a large impact in early childhood literacy and numeracy, known as Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL). By learning in small groups with interactive instruction, students’ weak points are addressed before moving on to more difficult concepts. However, this methodology is traditionally carried out using only paper, increasing the time needed to collect and organize student results and data. To combat the inefficiencies of the traditional method, we have prototyped a digital platform that is able to accurately assess student literacy levels, seamlessly input and organize data as well as provide a library of learning activities to instructors. This platform will introduce students to using technology as an aide in learning as well as increase the efficiency of this learning process, hopefully leading to more students achieving higher learning outcomes.","PeriodicalId":370986,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference (GHTC)","volume":"601 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133322150","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}

From coordinating schedules and sharing clinical insights to patient follow-up care, healthcare practitioners such as doctors, nurses, midwives, and community health workers (CHWs) alike use WhatsApp to improve their services. While the informal use of WhatsApp in healthcare settings has grown exponentially, the literature is sparse on use cases, challenges, and opportunities in developing countries. Based on a comprehensive literature review that includes a variety of application scenarios from around the world, this article describes three major application areas for WhatsApp. For each application area, this article presents a brief description, several examples and mini case studies, and an in-depth analysis of opportunities and challenges. This article culminates with a discussion of common implementation challenges, best practices, and gaps in the extant ecosystem.","PeriodicalId":370986,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference (GHTC)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128544297","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}

Similarly, pests and diseases for a given crop require conducive ambient conditions to start proliferating thereby interfering with the yield and increasing management costs for the crop. For farmers to timely respond to crop damage, precisely predicting the likelihood of pest and disease stress conditions for a given region of interest is paramount to take early action. Rice is major crop in India grown over Kharif and Rabi seasons. For a key state Andhra Pradesh and associated major stress conditions in Rabi 2019-20, we present localised prediction models that use ambient micro-climatic conditions and ground reported data to forecast trends for major pests and diseases such as Stem Borer, Leaf Folder, Leaf Blast, and Bacterial Blight. For effective localisation, images reported from the fields for these conditions are validated with AI based detection models before getting processed further. A major contribution of the work is to realise an integrated system that continuously adapts to pest and disease stress conditions on the ground and offers precise risk prediction advisory to the farmer ecosystem for effective management. The approach has been demonstrated to work well with in-season farm surveillance activities at scale.","PeriodicalId":370986,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference (GHTC)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114564907","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}

Much of the agricultural activities are confined to small-scale farming. The machinery available to most of these small-scale farmers requires significant manual labor, causing them to accumulate health problems and experience low production capacity. Small-scale farmers engaged in crop spraying rely on backpack sprayers, which leads to many of them citing back problems. High costs of alternatives, such as drone sprayers, prohibit their adoption. Here, the design, fabrication, and testing of a low-cost crop spraying device is presented. The device reduces the load-carrying effort required, as the user manually pushes a single-wheel frame carrying a tank and allows a gear-chain system to automatically operate the pump’s lever. The performance of the prototype is characterized by experimental testing, revealing that the device can carry a 50-liter tank while requiring a push effort equivalent to 32% of the load under firm mud conditions and staying below the design limit (50% of the load) for loose sand. Appropriate gear sizing was confirmed to enable an optimum flow rate of 1.2 L/min while the user walks with a regular gait, e.g., an operational speed of 1.45 m/s.","PeriodicalId":370986,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference (GHTC)","volume":"2010 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127353037","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}
