Single Shareholder Company in Africa, America and Australia: A Comparative Analysis

Single Person Companies (SPCs), known as One-Person Companies (OPCs), are a revolutionary concept and a new invention in the field of international company law. This study aims to investigate the meaning of OPC and how it is used in three different continents, namely Africa, America, and Australia, focusing on legal entity, OPC incorporation process, minimum share capital, nominee appointment, and OPC conversion. The researchers used the doctrinal data collection method to study relevant journals, articles, books, papers, and internet sources. When choosing the sample States, the researchers use the Gross Domestic Products (GDPs) as a methodological yardstick. According to the findings, only a natural person may form an OPC in some jurisdictions, such as Caledonia and New Zealand. The ability of both natural and legal persons to incorporate OPC has been made explicit in nations including South Africa, Nigeria, Algeria, and Argentina. The outcome further illustrates that in nations like the USA and Caledonia, only citizens of such nations or individuals who are residents of New Zealand are eligible to incorporate OPC. The minimum share capital for creating an OPC should be reasonable to enable the lower class to establish OPC and fully control the business.

Amor Terra

This paper is written in response to the planetary times in which we live, marked as they are by the interwoven realities of political polarisation and environmental degradation. Looking to Hannah Arendt’s political writings for a response to this reality, in this paper I challenge the predominance of natality as a revolutionary concept and turn instead to Arendt’s discussion of love. After an initial rereading of the temporality of love at work in her concept of amor mundi, the paper develops the idea of “amor terra,” or love for the pre-political and planetary constitution of politics. Taking seriously Arendt’s claim that what is required in times of crisis is a renewed conception of human dignity, I offer amor terra in precisely these terms. Developed in dialogue with Arendt’s writings on the earthly condition of responsibility, politics, and care, I ultimately argue that what amor terra offers is a renewed setting from which the integrity of the political can be reimagined.

Looking Into the "Torrid Eye:" Negotiating the Limits of Selfhood in Emily Dickinson's Maelstrom Poems

Abstract: This article offers new ways of interpreting Dickinson's maelstrom poems. I turn to recent critical interest in the word "Domingo" to argue that Dickinson's maelstroms reveal the gendered questions underlying revolutionary new concepts of personhood. Identifying various historical, political, and geographical referents for Dickinson's maelstroms, I argue these poems depict white femininity as an idealized, isolated, and often therefore horrifying condition. By demonstrating how Dickinson uses the maelstrom to think together the oceanic sublime and Gothic tropes of enslavement, I locate in these poems a repeated fantasy about the possibility of escape—however painful—from these gendered and racialized circumstances.

Security and Energy Management in Cooperative Spectrum Sensing

The revolutionary concept of cognitive radio (CR) has been developed to address the issue of spectrum scarcity in wireless networks. Cooperative spectrum sensing is seen as a promising strategy to dramatically increase spectrum sensing performance in cognitive radio networks, but it is vulnerable to Spectrum sensing data falsification (SSDF) attacks. Existing security references have concentrated on ways to lessen the impact of a SSDF attacking, but these approaches have relied heavily on assumptions such as the attackers being a numerical minority and there being a trustworthy node for data fusion. This realisation inspires us to conduct a thorough examination of the SSDF attack and fusion centre (FC) techniques outside of these constraints. In particular, analysing complex harmful actions allows us to think about a generic SSDF attack model that is more general than the existing methods. According to this overview of attacks, the resultant condition renders the FC clear to attack. Based on these considerations, the ideal attack approach to maximise Bayes risk is examined for both the unknown and known fusion rule scenarios. Second, by casting it as a combinatorial optimisation issue, energy efficiency of cooperative sensing is discussed. In order to enhance the overall energy efficiency of system, a deep learning framework is built based on this formulation by combining graph neural network with reinforcement learning. The efficacy of this method has been demonstrated through simulation tests at varying network scales.

The Relevance of Flipped Classrooms for ESP Courses in the Post COVID-19 Scenario

This study is the result of testing the concept of a flipped classroom (FC) in an ESP class in the aftermath of COVID-19 scenario at a private university in Oman. The recent shift from online classes to face-to-face classes in the university exposed a significant knowledge gap that existed in the learners of English for ESP courses. To address this challenge, the authors decided to experiment on the concept of the FC in an ESP class for business administration students. As a result, instead of a classroom lecture, the simplified summary of prescribed lessons along with useful illustrations were posted online for the students to read at home before coming to the class. Consequently, the class-time was mainly used for solving application questions individually or in groups of mixed ability students. Additionally, special attention was given to slow learners during the experiment. This experiment proved to be very beneficial for the students as there was significant improvement in their grades for both ongoing and final assessments compared to the grades of students in another section of the same course that followed the traditional lecture method. The focus of the experimental class was on making students solve critical homework tasks during the class-time with appropriate teacher intervention. The first part of this paper describes the important FC concepts and their implementation in an ESP classroom and the second part analyses the final grades of both FC and traditional classes to understand the relevance of the FC model for ESP students. Therefore, the research goal of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the Flipped Classroom methodology by critically evaluating its pros and cons compared to the traditional lecture method. The novelty of this study consists in recommending complete inversion of the role of the traditional lecture method and homework tasks. In other words, FC believes that traditional lectures should be replaced with critical home-work tasks during the class-time to achieve the goal of education. The revolutionary concept of solving critical home-work tasks and exploring the practical applications of fundamental theories during the class-time can empower students to reconstruct and apply knowledge in practical and personally meaningful ways instead of spending their time listening passively to lectures. Therefore, implementing Flipped Classroom methodology in ESP classes can enhance the critical and cognitive skills of learners effectively.

Effective valorization of precision output of algaquaculture towards eco-sustainability and bioeconomy concomitant with biotechnological advances: An innovative concept

Both input resources and ecosystem stability are critical to the long-term viability and sustainability of the aquaculture business, which is booming while supporting global food security. Over the past few decades, technical advancements have been made to help achieve both economic and environmental goals. Among these, “algaquaculture,” which combines algae culture with aquaculture, is seen as a revolutionary concept with numerous advantages. The only difference between this system and aquaponics is that algae are used instead of leafy plants. In aquaponic systems, this integration is innovative because of algae’s superior ability to utilize waste-derived nutrients, such as nitrate, nitrite, and total ammonia nitrogen (TAN). An additional benefit of algae is that they promote growth, stimulate the immune system, and even enhance the color of fish. Some algae with human health benefits and biodiesel sources have a high market price, which can be used to compensate for an integrated aquaculture-based system’s higher economic value. While aquaculture waste bioremediation can greatly improve environmental sustainability, it is important to note that algae can play a significant part in bioremediation because of their ability to minimize environmental disruptions. This review aims to highlight the new concept of algaquaculture, functional role of algae in aquaculture, and biotechnological advancements for the bioeconomy to establish microalgae-based food production systems, including aquaculture, by citing the role and benefits of such an integrated algal-aquaculture system. For this reason, the review intends to disseminate an idea like this over the globe, focusing on how to preserve the sector in the coming years. • Algaquaculture, which combines algae culture with aquaculture, is seen as a revolutionary concept with numerous advantages. • Algaquaculture has great impact on circular and bioeconomy. • The biotechnological advances makes algaquaculture a sustainable strategy for frontiers industrial applications.

Analysing the spatial syntax of Aldo van Eyck’s place-making in the Amsterdam playgrounds

Aldo van Eyck is attributed with designing more than 700 playgrounds which engendered revolutionary spatial concepts such as the ‘twin phenomena’ and ‘in-between.’ These concepts are examined in the literature through the definition of place alongside its ethnographic origins; however, a limited number of studies address place-making through quantitative measures. This research project investigates the correlation between van Eyck’s playgrounds and his place-making depending on the spatial configuration. It analyses the planning of 70 playgrounds based on space syntax techniques and clusters them into six groups. It discusses the playgrounds’ spatial properties through their corresponding genotypes and phenotypes. The results show that the playgrounds represent a spectrum of place-making concepts ranging from relativity to labyrinthian clarity with the twin phenomena and in-between as intermediate spatial concepts. The results augment quantitively the claims in the literature and identify each playground’s dominant place-making concept and its particular intricacies.

Femtosecond laser micromachining for stress-based figure correction of thin mirrors

The fabrication of a large number of high-resolution thin-shell mirrors for future space telescopes remains challenging, especially for revolutionary mission concepts such as NASA’s Lynx X-ray Surveyor. It is generally harder to fabricate thin mirrors to the exact shape than thicker ones, and the coatings deposited onto mirror surfaces to increase the reflectivity typically have high intrinsic stress that deforms the mirrors further. Since the rapid development of femtosecond laser technologies over the last few decades has triggered wide applications in materials processing, we have developed a mirror figure correction and stress compensation method using a femtosecond laser micromachining technique for stress-based surface shaping of thin-shell x-ray optics. We employ a femtosecond laser to selectively remove regions of a stressed film that is grown onto the back surface of the mirror, to modify the stress states of the mirror. In this paper, we present experimental results to create both isotropic and anisotropic stress states on thin flat silicon mirrors with thermal oxide ( S i O 2 ) films using femtosecond lasers. We show that equibiaxial stress can be generated through uniformly micromachined holes, while non-equibiaxial stress arises from the ablation of equally spaced troughs. We also present results from strength tests to show how this process minimally affects the strength of mirrors. These developments are beneficial to the high-throughput correction of thin-shell mirrors for future space-based x-ray telescopes.

Paving the way to paddy food security: A multigroup analysis of agricultural education on Circular Economy Adoption

In order to meet food demand in 2050, the global agricultural output needs to expand by 70%. While increased agricultural output has helped maintain a balance between production and environmental protection, it also posed a substantial challenge to long-term food production and sustainability. Because of various tangible and intangible advantages, the circular economy is the most revolutionary concept in the modern agricultural sector that could turn agricultural methods into more accessible and practical solutions. The impact of agriculture on society and the economy, notably food security, prompted this study to examine the adoption of an innovative circularity strategy among farmers and its links to agricultural education. A quantitative survey of 366 paddy farmers in three agricultural granaries in Perak, Malaysia, was utilized to verify our framework empirically. The findings highlight the significance of relative advantage, compatibility, and observability of technological solutions in farming activities that promote the circular economy's development. We compare farmers with and without formal agricultural education using multigroup analysis. The results supported the notion of agricultural education in extending agricultural technology ideas on circularity. In return adopting a circular economy significantly impacts long-term paddy food security. Hence, it is high time for the agricultural sector to reassess its paddy and rice intervention plans, focusing on improving paddy farmers' adaptive ability to cope with agricultural production. The findings also point to ways to hasten transitions by stimulating potentially effective technologies and ensuring the long-term viability of food security consumption.

Reactivity and Stability of a Ring-Expanded N-Heterocyclic Carbene Copper(I) Boryl Imidinate

Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) have evolved from a revolutionary concept to widely applied catalysts. We recently reported the ring-expanded N-heterocyclic carbene supported copper(I) boryliminomethanide, (6-Dipp)CuC(=NtBu)Bpin and noted it reacted with heterocumulenes in a fashion reminiscent of FLPs. We thus set out to explore its reactivity with a range of other substrates known to react with FLPs. This was undertaken by a series of synthetic studies using NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, IR spectroscopy, and single crystal X-ray crystallography. (6-Dipp)CuC(=NtBu)Bpin was investigated for its reactivity towards water, hydrogen, and phenylacetylene. Its solution stability was also explored. Upon heating, (6-Dipp)CuC(=NtBu)Bpin decomposed to (6-Dipp)CuCN, which was characterised by SC-XRD and NMR spectroscopy, and pinBtBu. Although no reaction was observed with hydrogen, (6-Dipp)CuC(=NtBu)Bpin reacted with water to form (6-Dipp)CuC(=N(H)tBu)B(OH)pin, which was structurally characterised. In contrast to its FLP-reminiscent heterolytic cleavage reactivity towards water, (6-Dipp)CuC(=NtBu)Bpin acted as a Brønsted base towards phenyl acetylene generating (6-Dipp)CuCCPh, which was characterised by SC-XRD, IR, and NMR spectroscopy, and HC(=NtBu)Bpin

Tele-ECP: A feasible telemedicine-based approach to extracorporeal photopheresis

The acquisition of telecommunication technologies in clinical practices is transforming medical care capabilities, whereas applying telemedicine in apheresis medicine has resulted in the revolutionary concept of “telapheresis.” This manuscript aims to describe the regulatory landscape of telapheresis by presenting the first “tele-ECP” (telemedicine-based approach to extracorporeal photopheresis) reported in the United Arab Emirates. The tele-ECP procedure was done successfully in a patient with chronic graft-versus-host disease, who, despite having one vascular access-related adverse event, it was solved promptly without further complications. Therefore, this telemedicine-based approach arose as a feasible practice, but required direct physical contact with other trained and privileged/credentialed staff.

The Two Echelon Open Vehicle Routing Problem: Optimization of Crowdshipping Based Parcel Delivery

Crowdshipping is a revolutionary concept of the sharing economy. In this study, two carriers are used to perform the following expedition: the truck starts from the depot to complete part of the deliveries, shares part of the load with the crowdshipper at the relay point, and the private driver selected as the crowdshipper continues from that point onward. This study proposes the two-echelon open vehicle routing problem with crowdshipping (2EOVRP-CS) and formulates a mathematical model to determine the crowdshipper, parcel relay location, truck route, and crowdsource route. A tangible nested genetic algorithm (NGA) is proposed, and its efficiency is demonstrated by comparison with CPLEX and genetic algorithm (GA). A real case study is investigated in Xi'an city to test the applicability of the proposed model. The results show that using crowdshipping instead of truck delivery alone can save approximately 14% of the total cost and 26% of truck vehicle miles traveled (VMT). Moreover, several sensitivity analyses are performed. The results show that crowdshipping is sensitive to the detour limit and the time value of carriers. For the detour limit, after the acceptable detour distance increases by 8%, the total cost can be reduced by up to 5.94%.

Novel broadband electromagnetic-wave absorption metasurfaces composed of C-doped FeCoNiSiAl high-entropy-alloy ribbons with hierarchical nanostructures

Although various absorbers have been developed for electromagnetic-wave absorption materials (EAMs), the uniform composition and microstructure limit the design freedom of the soft magnetic properties, thus resulting in a ceiling of the absorption properties. Herein, we propose a revolutionary concept of C-doped FeCoNiSiAl high-entropy-alloy (HEA) ribbons with hierarchical nanostructures composed of ultrafine grains (400 nm), B2 nanoprecipitates (80 nm), and C@FeNi core–shell nanoparticles (15 nm) to induce superior soft magnetization and absorption. The hierarchical nanostructures resulted in a low coercivity (HC, 589.04 A/m) and a low conductivity (294.1 S/cm) to support the loss effect and impedance matching, and 87% of the saturation magnetization (MS, 135.13 emu/g) was maintained, even at the high temperature of 973 K, corresponding to ultra-stable magnetization. Furthermore, the Curie-temperature was greater than 1000 K. The B2 nanoprecipitates and corresponding interfaces created strong stray magnetic flux lines and magnetic domain vortices, and thus, the metasurfaces innovatively fabricated with HEA ribbons induced a strong absorption peak (−50.88 dB) and effective broadband absorption (reflection loss (RL) ≤ −10 dB within 5.86–18 GHz) due to the strong magnetic coupling. The hierarchical nanostructure is a promising strategy to tailor magnetic HEAs with a new degree of freedom for advanced EAMs.

SMART FARMING: LEGAL ISSUES AND CHALLENGES

Statement of Problems Smart farming is a revolutionary concept of modern science that denotes conducting farming activities using smart devices such as, IoT, robotics, drones, and AI. It can increase the quantity and quality of products significantly while optimizing the human labour. This paper explores different legal aspects of smart farming from the viewpoint of both the farm owner and the service provider. The purpose of this study is to analyse the legal issues and challenges arising out of smart farming and to suggest some recommendations to mitigate these issues. The study uses doctrinal legal research methodology followed by exploratory and analytical approach. Both primary and secondary sources are considered for identifying and interpreting data. The study finds that without specific, dedicated, and comprehensive legal regime it is impossible to govern the legal aspects of smart farming for any country. Therefore, it is recommended that every country needs a comprehensive legal regime to mitigate the legal issues and challenges of smart farming son that optimum benefit from smart farming can be attained and at the same time farm owners and service providers can be legally protected.

Recent Advances on Federated Learning for Cybersecurity and Cybersecurity for Federated Learning for Internet of Things

Decentralized paradigm in the field of cybersecurity and machine learning (ML) for the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) has gained a lot of attention from the government, academia, and industries in recent years. Federated cybersecurity (FC) is regarded as a revolutionary concept to make the IoT safer and more efficient in the future. This emerging concept has the potential of detecting security threats, taking countermeasures, and limiting the spreading of threats over the IoT network system efficiently. An objective of cybersecurity is achieved by forming the federation of the learned and shared model on top of various participants. Federated learning (FL), which is regarded as a privacy-aware ML model, is particularly useful to secure the vulnerable IoT environment. In this article, we start with background and comparison of centralized learning, distributed on-site learning, and FL, which is then followed by a survey of the application of FL to cybersecurity for IoT. This survey primarily focuses on the security aspect but it also discusses several approaches that address the performance issues (e.g., accuracy, latency, resource constraint, and others) associated with FL, which may impact the security and overall performance of the IoT. To anticipate the future evolution of this new paradigm, we discuss the main ongoing research efforts, challenges, and research trends in this area. With this article, readers can have a more thorough understanding of FL for cybersecurity as well as cybersecurity for FL, different security attacks, and countermeasures.

E-Voting using Ethereum Blockchain

The revolutionary concept of blockchain has given a rise to multiple facets of secure, accountable, online services. We witness the rise of E-voting as a critical topic related to online services. Blockchain with smart contracts emerges as a good candidate to use in the development of safer, cheaper, more secure, more transparent, and easier to use e-voting systems. Ethereum and its network are one of the most viable candidates for the implementation of an e-voting system using blockchain, due to their consistency, widespread use, and provision of smart contracts logic. An e-voting system must be secure, as it should prevent duplication of votes while being fully transparent and protecting the privacy of the voters involved. In this work, we have implemented and tested a sample voting web - application as a smart contract for the Ethereum network using the Ethereum wallets and the Solidity language. Eventually, when elections are held, the Ethereum blockchain will store votes and voting results. Users can connect their Ethereum wallet and vote for the candidate they want to, and these transaction requests are processed by the consensus of each Ethereum node. These agreements create a transparent voting environment.
