THE IMPLICATIONS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON STAPLE CROPS PRODUCTION IN EKPOMA, EDO STATE, NIGERIA by ILENRE ABRAHAM EHIZOJIE

“…The results reveal the causes of climate change in Ekpoma, the staple crops produced in Ekpoma at present, the major evidence of climate change having implications on staple crops production in Ekpoma, the implications of climate change on staple crops production in Ekpoma, Nigeriaand the adaptation strategies that have been used to mitigate its implications on staple crops production.Arising from the above findings, the following recommendations are made which include: effective and regular training and retraining of staple crops farmers on the knowledge of climate change, climate change related- hazards, the place of staple crops in Ekpoma, climatic conditions should be monitored to help predict potential climate change related hazards and how to circumvent them, practicing climate-smart agriculture which includes incorporating climate-hazard resistant crops and improving cultural practices, sustainable practices to manage diseases without harming the environment. governments at all levelsshould as a matter of urgency promulgate laws on the granting of soft loans, climate change related-hazards and diseases resistant species of staple crops and other inputs to staple crops farmers annually to encourage them.This paper is therefore concluded by advising the governments at all levels to effect the recommendations made by the researcher. …”

High-performance reconfigurable encryption scheme for distributed storage by Zhihua FENG, Yuxuan ZHANG, Chong LUO, Jianing WANG

“…As the world embraces the digital economy and enters an information society, data has emerged as a critical production factor.The collection, processing, and storage of data have become increasingly prevalent.Distributed storage systems, known for their efficiency, are widely used in various data fields.However, as the scale of data storage continues to expand, distributed storage faces more significant security risks, such as information leakage and data destruction.These challenges drive the need for innovative advancements in big data distributed storage security technology and foster the integration of domestic cryptographic technology with computing storage technology.This work focused on addressing security issues, particularly information leakage, in distributed storage nodes.A dynamic and reconfigurable encryption storage solution was proposed, which considered the requirements for encryption performance and flexibility.A high-performance reconfigurable cryptographic module was designed based on the bio mapping framework.Based on this module, multiple storage pools equipped with different cryptographic algorithms were constructed to facilitate high-performance encryption and decryption operations on hard disk data.The scheme also enabled dynamic switching of cryptographic algorithms within the storage pools.A cryptographic protocol with remote online loading functions for cryptographic algorithms and keys was developed to meet the unified management and convenient security update requirements of reconfigurable cryptographic modules in various storage nodes.Furthermore, the scheme implemented fine-grained data encryption protection and logical security isolation functions based on cryptographic reconstruction technology.Experimental results demonstrate that the performance loss of this scheme for encryption protection and security isolation of stored data is approximately 10%.It provides a technical approach for distributed storage systems to meet the cryptographic application technology requirements outlined in GB/T 39786-2021 “Information Security Technology-Basic Requirements for Cryptography Applications” Level 3 and above in terms of device and computing security, application and data security.…”
