Agriculture holds a crucial position in maintaining livelihoods and securing food sources, particularly in nations such as Ethiopia, where a substantial portion of the population depends on agricultural pursuits. However, meeting the growing demand for food production amidst population growth presents considerable challenges. Recent advancements in technology, particularly in the areas of Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), and the Internet of Things (IoT) offer promising solutions to address these challenges. This paper explores the potential of integrating ML, DL, and IoT technologies in agriculture to revolutionize the sector. By harnessing data-driven insights, farmers can make informed decisions regarding crop management, soil health, and weather patterns, leading to optimized resource allocation and increased productivity. Moreover, IoT devices enable the real-time monitoring and control of agricultural operations, enhancing sustainability and productivity. Despite the opportunities presented by these technologies, there are also challenges to overcome, such as data quality, connectivity issues, and the need for farmer education. However, with concerted efforts and investment, Ethiopia and other agricultural regions can unlock the full potential of ML, DL, and IoT technologies to ensure food security, alleviate poverty, and drive economic development. This review paper offers perspectives on the present status, challenges, and future possibilities regarding the integration of ML, DL, and IoT in agriculture. It underscores the transformative potential of these technologies within the sector.

We report scale setting and hadronic properties for our new lattice QCD gauge configuration set (HAL-conf-2023). We employ (2+1)-flavor nonperturbatively improved Wilson fermions with stout smearing and the Iwasaki gauge action on a 964 lattice, and generate configurations of 8000 trajectories at the physical point. We show the basic properties of the configurations such as the plaquette value, topological charge distribution and their autocorrelation times. The scale setting is performed by detailed analyses of the Ω baryon mass. We calculate the physical results of quark masses, decay constants of pseudoscalar mesons and single hadron spectra in light quark sector. The masses of the stable hadrons are found to agree with the experimental values within a subpercent level.

Population living in deprived conditions continues to grow, highlighting the urgent need for accurate high-resolution maps and detailed statistics to plan interventions and monitor changes. Unfortunately, data on deprived areas or "slums" is often unavailable, incomplete, or outdated. Leveraging satellite imagery can offer timely, and consistent information on deprived areas over large area However, there are limited studies that use free and open source data that can be used to map deprived areas over large areas and across multiple cities. To address these challenges, this study examines a scalable and transferable modeling approach to map deprived areas using contextual features extracted from freely available Sentinel-2 data. Models were trained and tested on three Sub-Sahara cities: Lagos Nigeria, Accra Ghana, and Nairobi, Kenya. The results indicate that models in individual city achieved F1 scores from 0.78-0.95 for the three cities. Additionally, the results indicate that the proposed approach may allow for the ability to transfer models from city to city allowing for large area and across city mapping.

Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) is crucial in meteorology and agriculture for understanding plant-environment interactions. Its application as an indicator in agricultural practices notably advances Sustainable Development Goals such as Zero Hunger (SDG 2) and Climate Action (SDG 13). This research focuses on the impact of climate change on agricultural productivity and food security in the Nile River Basin (NRB), emphasizing the role of VPD, temperature, and precipitation. Utilizing Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) datasets from NEX-GDDP-CMIP6, the study analyzes key climatic variables that influence agricultural conditions. The study applies the Mann-Kendall test to evaluate VPD trends from 2000 to 2060 under two Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs), SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5. The study's findings on the implications of rising VPD levels in the Nile River Basin (NRB), particularly under the SSP 5-8.5 scenario, highlight a critical challenge for the region's agricultural productivity and food security. The increased VPD, indicative of drier conditions, leads to a moisture deficit for crops, potentially reducing agricultural yields. This scenario poses a significant threat to food security, as lower crop yields can result in food shortages and higher food prices, adversely affecting vulnerable populations. The study underscores the necessity of integrating VPD insights into agricultural and water resource management strategies to uphold food security against climatic variations in support of the SDGs.

The main problem solved is to Improve Employee Performance Monitoring by Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Human Resource Management for Indonesian Companies. The paper suggests using AI technologies to analyze and process employee performance data. The overarching goal of this new approach is to identify patterns and red flags at the individual and team levels that can be used to inform stronger performance management strategies such as guided coaching, pointed feedback, or calibrated evaluations. This study is written as a schematic literature review, using sourced research articles from Indonesia and other countries to obtain the effects of AI on employee performance. This exercise showed how AI works in performance patterns and assists HR strategies. The findings AI has an impact on recognizing patterns in empirical data of how employees perform, helps to tailor training/development programs, and improves talent management and succession planning. Those results signify that AI has the potential to be a game-changer for HR practices in Indonesia. AI in HRM using employee performance monitoring seems an encouraging alternative for Indonesia. Through data-driven decision-making and automated HR routine tasks with many challenges and should prepare well to implement.
