Abstract: Rural areas in India may not necessarily have internet connection and what if they need to know about nearest hospitals, fire stations or if a message has to be broadcasted over a large section of this area. This paper tries to solve all of these problems by implementing a pin-code based approach to map these important locations. Now a days, more advanced technologies such as GPS are more useful in solving these problems in real-time but what this paper tries to do is solve them statically where technology can’t take precedence over daily lives. It discusses a smart, fast algorithm with minimum memory overhead to solve these specific issues. Lack of data sets are a concern in this approach but to automate this we have used Image Processing to automatically detect boundaries of pin-codes on various sub-regions to form a universal Graph which can then be subjected to various algorithms like A*, DFS, BFS, Dijkstra which are local to each type of problem. This leaves scope for further research on developing models that can read images of maps more efficiently to create more accurate data sets which are accurate enough and void of longitudinal and latitudinal details.
Keywords: DFS, BFS, Dijkstra Which Are Local to Each Type of Problem.

Abstract: Conflicts in construction projects seem an increasingly prevalent phenomenon in Kenya, perhaps because of the projects’ uncertainty, complexity, and diversity of participants. Management of these conflicts remains ineffective, an occurrence that creates a major obstacle to the success of project implementation, usually leading to an increase in project cost, delayed project completion, and in worst cases suspension of the project. A review of literature has revealed the negative role played by conflict on project success.This study sought to investigate the practice of conflict management in construction projects in Kenya to develop a schematic framework for managing conflicts, using project harmony potential as a measure of the availability of conflicts or their lack in construction projects. The study adopted a cross-sectional research design. Construction projects registered with NCA in the last five years within Nairobi and having the embedded unit of analysis of project participants under this study were sampled using the cluster method. Questionnaires were administered to project developers, contractors, and consultants working in consultancy or contractor firms randomly sampled. The study used inferential analysis of bivariate Pearson’s correlation and Regression analysis to determine the significant factors affecting the project harmony potential as well as establish a predictive model. The study demonstrated that there was a positive and statistically significant linear relationship between project harmony potential and delay management, project team partnering orientation, direct provisions for conflict management in the Project Handbook, promptness of Monitoring and Evaluation work, CPM (Construction Project Manager) technical experience, and communication plan. These factors were considered to be critical factors for the project harmony potential for construction projects in Kenya. A model was established using these variables and was found to explain 69.1% of the project harmony potential. The developed model will be useful in predicting the harmony potential of a project during implementation.
Keywords: Conflict, Conflict Management Strategies, Project harmony potential.

Abstract: We all depend on farmers in today’s world. But is anybody aware of who the farmers rely on? They don’t suffer from various irrigation issues, such as over-irrigation, under irrigation, underwater depletion, floods, etc. We are trying to build a project to solve some of the problems that will help farmers overcome the challenges. Owing to inadequate distribution or lack of control, irrigation happens because of waste water, chemicals, which can contribute to water contamination. Under irrigation, only enough water is provided to the plant, which gives low soil salinity, leading to increased soil salinity with a consequent build-up of toxic salts in areas with high evaporation on the soil surface. This requires either leaching to remove these salts or a drainage system to remove the salts. We have developed a project using IoT (Internet of Things) and ML to solve these irrigation problems (machine learning). The hardware consists of different sensors, such as the temperature sensor, the humidity sensor, the pH sensor, the raspberry pi or Arduino module controlled pressure sensor and the bolt IOT module. Our temperature sensor will predict the area’s weather condition, through which farmers will make less use of field water. At a regular interval, our pH sensor can sense the pH of the soil and predict whether or not this soil needs more water. Our main aim is to automatically build an irrigation system and to conserve water for future purposes.
Keywords: Irrigation, Automation, Leena BOT, Arduino, soil sensor, Robotics
