Abstract

Background. Environmental sustainability has become a pressing global issue, demanding innovative educational interventions that directly engage communities. Project-Based Service Learning (PBSL) integrates academic learning with community service, fostering mutual growth and empowerment. Purpose. This study investigates the effect of PBSL on community empowerment within the context of sustainable environmental management. The objective is to assess how active participation in student-led environmental projects enhances local communities’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding sustainable development. Employing a mixed-method approach, the research involved quasi-experimental design and participatory observation in three rural villages. Method. Quantitative data were collected through pre- and post-tests, while qualitative data came from focus group discussions and stakeholder interviews. Results. The results indicate significant improvements in environmental awareness, collaborative problem-solving skills, and long-term community engagement. Furthermore, communities reported an increased capacity to manage environmental resources independently. Conclusion. In conclusion, PBSL not only serves as an effective pedagogical strategy but also empowers communities to take ownership of sustainable practices. The findings contribute to the growing literature on experiential learning and its transformative impact on society.

Abstract

The study discusses the role of blockchain technology in ensuring food safety in Sweden, with a focus on improving supply chain traceability and transparency. The research aims to identify the extent to which blockchain can improve food safety as well as overcome adoption constraints across companies of various sizes. A qualitative descriptive approach was used, with data collected through interviews and analysis of case studies from food companies. The results show that blockchain is able to improve operational efficiency and regulatory compliance, especially in large enterprises, while small companies face cost constraints and access to technology. The conclusion of the study confirms that blockchain can be a strategic solution for better food security, with the implication that regulatory support and incentives are needed to expand the adoption of this technology in small and medium-sized enterprises.

Abstract

Nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS) exhibit remarkable sensitivity and non-linear behavior at the nanoscale, making them ideal candidates for applications in sensing, actuation, and quantum technologies. The Casimir force, a quantum phenomenon resulting from vacuum fluctuations, becomes significant at small scales and has the potential to modulate the dynamics of NEMS. This research investigates the tunable non-linear dynamics in NEMS driven by Casimir force modulation, exploring the ability to induce non-linear behaviors such as bistability, hysteresis, and chaotic motion. The primary objective of this study is to understand how Casimir force modulation can be used to control the non-linear dynamics of NEMS, providing a new method for tuning their mechanical responses. The research combines both theoretical simulations and experimental validation, examining the effects of Casimir force on different materials, including graphene, silicon, and carbon nanotubes, across various modulation strengths. The results show that Casimir force modulation can significantly enhance non-linear behaviors in NEMS, with graphene-based systems exhibiting the most pronounced effects. The study demonstrates that the Casimir force can be precisely tuned to induce specific non-linear behaviors, offering new opportunities for NEMS applications. In conclusion, this research highlights the potential of Casimir force modulation to enable highly tunable, stable non-linear dynamics in NEMS, paving the way for advanced quantum sensing, actuation, and other nanoscale technologies.

Abstract

This study compares the impact of GPS-guided tractor autosteer technology and traditional manual steering on maize yield and fuel efficiency. Precision agriculture technologies, such as GPS-guided autosteer, offer more accurate and efficient field operations, reducing overlaps and gaps in seeding, which are common in manual methods. However, there is limited empirical evidence on the agronomic and operational performance of these technologies in maize cultivation. The research was conducted on maize farms over one growing season, with two treatments: GPS-guided autosteer and traditional manual steering. Data on maize yield, fuel consumption, seeding accuracy, and operational time were collected and analyzed. The results showed that GPS-guided autosteer significantly improved seeding accuracy, reducing overlaps and leading to a 12% increase in maize yield compared to traditional methods. Additionally, fuel consumption was reduced by 18% due to more efficient coverage and reduced operational time. The autosteer system also demonstrated improved consistency in row spacing and plant population. This study concludes that GPS-guided autosteer technology offers both agronomic and economic advantages, increasing maize productivity, enhancing fuel efficiency, and promoting more sustainable, cost-effective farming practices.

Abstract

The deployment of autonomous mobile robots in resource-constrained environments is currently impeded by the excessive power consumption and latency bottlenecks of traditional Von Neumann architectures. This study investigates the efficacy of neuromorphic computing as a hardware solution for low-power, low-latency edge intelligence, specifically focusing on obstacle avoidance and navigational endurance. A quantitative comparative analysis was conducted benchmarking a Spiking Neural Network (SNN) based control architecture against standard embedded GPU solutions, utilizing event-based vision sensors to evaluate energy efficiency, inference latency, and task success rates. Empirical results demonstrate that the neuromorphic architecture achieved a twenty-fold reduction in power consumption (0.25 W) and sub-millisecond latency, significantly outperforming synchronous baselines while maintaining a 98.2% navigational success rate. The findings validate event-driven processing as a superior paradigm for edge robotics, offering a sustainable path toward "Green Robotics" with extended operational autonomy independent of cloud connectivity.
