Changement climatique et conflits de genre dans l’agriculture paysanne dans l’Ouest Cameroun : cas de Batcham by Dany Franck A. Tiwa

“…The analysis of women's logic of action in the light of the scarcity and/or abundance of resources theory, suggest that beyond the need to adapt to changing climate conditions, there is a growing challenge to male privilege and, therefore, to the patriarchal nature of the Batcham society. Through semi-structured and informal interviews, we have been able to identify the terms that take this competition around the land and the resources that both men and women mobilize to alienate these bottomlands. …”

Simulation and Experimental Study on Vibration and Noise Characteristics of the Main Reducer of an Electric Drive Axle by Cui Yue, Tian Shaopeng, Zou Lin, Wang Xinqiang

“…Finally, the effect of bearing stiffness on the resonance speed distribution is studied, and the optimization measures of the structural stiffness of the system are proposed. After optimization, the vibration amplitude decreases significantly when the speed is in the range of 1 400~2 200 r/min, and the resonance speed shifts to a higher speed. …”

The Neglected Tropical Disease Non-Governmental Organization Network: The role of a global health network in an evolving global health landscape. by Girija Sankar, Arielle Dolegui, Jemish Acharya

“…This analysis aimed to assess the network's composition and connectivity, revealing significant insights into its current structure and areas for improvement. Key findings from the analysis include the following: a majority of NNN members were based in high-income countries (HICs); 40% of the member organizations concentrated on a single NTD; the African region had nearly twice the number of member organizations supporting interventions in the region compared to other regions; and, members from HICs tend to be better networked within the NNN. …”

3D WSN clustering routing algorithm based on IHBA optimized fuzzy C-means by Jing YANG, Biyang XU, Weizheng LI, Wei LI, Zhaoqiang ZHU, Tao QIN

“…Aiming at the problem that clustering routing algorithm in a three-dimensional (3D) scene has high energy consumption and short network lifetime, a clustering routing algorithm IFCRA for 3D wireless sensor networks based on improved honey badger algorithm optimized fuzzy C-means was proposed.The network clustering, cluster head election, and data transmission stages were optimized respectively.Firstly, the improved honey badger algorithm was used to optimize the fuzzy C-means algorithm, solving the problem of fuzzy C-means easily falling into local optima, and the topological structure was divided based on the distance and energy characteristics of nodes.Secondly, the optimal cluster head function was constructed by combining the energy and relative distance of nodes within the cluster to balance the cluster head load.Finally, an adaptive transmission mechanism was used to search for relay nodes, and the optimal transmission path function was constructed by combining node distance and energy.The improved honey badger algorithm was used to optimize the data transmission energy consumption.Simulation results show that IFCRA has reasonable clustering, balanced energy consumption, and long lifespan in a 3D heterogeneous scene.…”
