Abstract

Traditional voting methods in Nigeria face numerous challenges, including logistic issues, security concerns, and allegations of fraud, which undermine public trust. This work develops a blockchain-based electronic voting system (EVS) that leverages the national identification number (NIN) for biometric verification to address these issues. The research identifies the limitations of current blockchain voting solutions, such as implementation complexity, scalability issues, user adoption resistance, and cybersecurity threats and provide a more secure and user-friendly alternative. The system integrates blockchain technology with biometric verification to create an immutable, transparent, and secure voting process. The methodology involves designing a system architecture that includes a blockchain network, an NIN verification module, and a user interface (UI). Users register using their NIN, authenticate themselves, and cast their votes, which are then encrypted and recorded on the blockchain. The system's functionality was tested using tools like Ganache for local blockchain development, MetaMask for Ethereum wallet integration, and Solidity for writing smart contracts. Results from the implementation indicate significant improvements in security, transparency, and user accessibility compared to traditional voting systems. The user authentication test achieved a 100% valid login success rate and 0% invalid login attempts. Meanwhile, the voting test accuracy was 100%.

Abstract

Globally, environmental and economic issues are very apparent regarding food wastage. Fruits play a significant role since they can be damaged easily. Ethylene gas is one of the significant gases produced by fruits when they begin to ripen; it tests whether the fruit is ripe or else spoilable. This work presents a sustainable solution for fruit wastage: an ethylene gas-based fruit expiry predictor (FEP). The system is designed and developed around advanced sensing and artificial intelligence (AI) models for real-time monitoring of ethylene levels and temperature in forecasting the spoilage of fruits. The system consists of non-invasive sensors for detecting ethylene and temperature, a data processing microcontroller, and an AI model trained on a large dataset to make accurate predictions regarding the expiry of fruit. The AI model processes the information collected by the sensors and then displays the grade (level of ripeness of the fruit) on a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen. This solution improves fruit management with reduced wastage in line with international sustainability targets. These would enable real-time and highly accurate predictions of fruit spoilage, allowing end-users informed choices that will eventually lead to reducing the carbon footprint from food waste and increasing food security.
