Agency Banking and Poverty Reduction in Plateau State

This study delves into the potential of agency banking to alleviate poverty in Plateau State, a region primarily reliant on agriculture and grappling with a high poverty rate, along with a sizable unbanked population. The research aims to investigate the correlation between agency banking and poverty reduction in Plateau State. Employing a descriptive survey design, the Taro Yamane formula was used to select a sample of 360 participants who were First Bank Plc agents. Quantitative analysis techniques, including descriptive statistics (percentages, mean, and standard deviation) and multiple linear regressions with SPSS 25.0, were employed to test the study's hypotheses. The results of the statistical analysis revealed that the income of agents has a significant impact on poverty reduction. Furthermore, the study found that the transaction volume of agents also significantly contributes to poverty reduction in Plateau State. However, it is important to note that the educational level of agents did not show a significant effect on poverty reduction in the state. As a result, the study recommends that banks operating in Plateau State should seize the opportunity presented by agency banking to reach the rural population, aligning with the Central Bank of Nigeria's (CBN) National Financial Inclusion Strategy (NFIS). This strategy emphasizes targeting women, rural areas, youth, Northern Nigeria, and micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) to achieve a high level of financial inclusion, ideally reaching a 99% financial inclusion rate by 2030. In addition to promoting agency banking, the study suggests creating awareness of financial literacy in rural areas. This awareness campaign aims to educate the long-standing unbanked population on the benefits of banking services facilitated through agent banking, thereby fostering a more inclusive financial landscape.

LIBS combined with SG-SPXY spectral data pre-processing for cement raw meal composition analysis.

Rapid testing of cement raw meal plays a crucial role in the cement production process, so there is an urgent need for a fast and accurate testing method. In this paper, a method based on the Savitzky-Golay (SG) smoothing and sample set partitioning based on joint x-y distance (SPXY) spectral data pre-processing is proposed to improve the accuracy of the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) technique for quantitative analysis of cement raw meal components. Firstly, the spectral data is denoised by SG smoothing, which effectively reduces the noise and baseline variations in the spectra. Then, the denoised data is divided into sample sets by combining the SPXY sample division method, which improves the efficiency of data analysis. Finally, the delineated data set is modeled for quantitative analysis by a back-propagation (BP) neural network. Compared to the modeling effect of the four oxide contents of CaO, S i O 2, A l 2 O 3, and F e 2 O 3 in the Hold-Out method, the correlation coefficient (R) was improved by 26%, 10%, 17%, and 4%, respectively. The root mean square error (RMSE) was reduced by 47%, 33%, 43%, and 21%, respectively. The mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) was reduced by 63%, 60%, 36%, and 51%, respectively. The results show that there is a significant improvement in the model effect, which can effectively improve the accuracy of quantitative analysis of cement raw meal composition by LIBS. This is of great significance for the real-time detection of cement raw meal composition analysis.
