Increasing climate variability and water scarcity are intensifying the need for adaptive, data-driven water management solutions in African agriculture. While digital and precision technologies are increasingly available, their effectiveness depends on how diverse data streams are integrated into usable decision support tools that respond to local conditions. This research focuses on the development of an open-source digital agriculture platform designed to support sustainable water management. The developed platform brings together multiple sources of real-time and near-real-time data, including IoT-based soil moisture and climate sensors, weather forecasts, crop information, and remote sensing products, and systematically compares these observations with inputted crop water and irrigation models. By continuously comparing field-level data with input models, the decision support system aims to enable more accurate irrigation scheduling, early detection of water stress, and adaptive responses to climate variability, supporting more informed, timely, and context-specific decision-making for farmers. Artificial intelligence and machine learning components can be integrated to further enhance the platform by identifying patterns, improving forecasts, and refining model performance over time. The presentation highlights the design and functionality of farmer-oriented decision support systems, outlining how open-source digital platforms can be tested, adapted, and refined in climate-vulnerable settings. By emphasizing interoperability, transparency, and community-driven innovation, the approach demonstrates how digital agriculture platforms can move beyond standalone technologies toward integrated decision support ecosystems for sustainable water management.

Time-honored brands in contemporary times are confronted with the contradiction between traditional models and modern markets, mainly manifested in the difficulty of inheriting craftsmanship, insufficient penetration into the young market, and the impact of counterfeit products. In recent years, these brands have responded to market challenges through innovation and transformation with the support of policies and their own independent innovation. This article will analyze the development strategies of domestic time-honored brands in China to explore their core transformation paths and existing problems and propose optimization strategies. The research finds that time-honored brands have achieved brand rejuvenation through "renewing the symbol system and iterating the language system" (such as the trendy packaging of Daoxiangcun and the dissemination of cold knowledge on Douyin by Tongrentang); completed digital transformation by "integrating all channels and applying intelligent technologies”; and promoted product innovation by "innovating traditional techniques and extending into cross-category products". The research further points out that current technologies face issues such as insufficient online marketing and the difficulty and time-consuming nature of transformation, and proposes corresponding optimization suggestions, looking forward to the future development of time-honored brands.

This study investigates and shows how immersive experiencessuch as VR, AR, ASMR, and live-streaminginfluence impulse purchasing among Generation Z. While prior research has explored immersive technologies, few studies have directly analyzed their role in impulsive decision-making and the psychological impact of immersion on consumer behavior. We conducted qualitative interviews with 30+ Gen Z participants, looking at how different immersive forms stimulate impulsive purchases by enhancing emotional arousal, trust, and presence. Live-streaming proved most impactful in trigering impulsive purchases due to the influencer effect and strong real-time interactive features in live stream platforms, while ASMR was least influential. The findings advance understanding of emotional versus rational consumption, offering insights for digital marketing strategies and consumer psychology. We also emphasized the need for cross-cultural sampling and mixed-method approaches in future research to expand applicability and explore the broader psychological mechanisms behind immersive trade.

In recent years, horror games have gained popularity due to the evolution of player needs and preferences. The success of these games depends on creating an immersive atmosphere, capturing player attention, and delivering an exceptional gaming experience. However, scholarly investigations into the psychological impacts of specific design elements (e.g., auditory cues, lighting techniques, and narrative frameworks) remain limited. This study innovatively focuses on Rusty Lake, a 2D low-fidelity-style game, and analyzes how its ambient design enhances horror and player immersion. Precision in environmental design and atmospheric construction directly correlates with heightened perceptual realism in horror game experiences. Strategic integration of diegetic soundscapes and dynamic lighting systems enables developers to construct visceral horror atmospheres with higher efficacy. Through the analysis of Rusty Lake, this paper concludes that exquisite auditory cues, simple visual styles, and carefully designed narrative structure can significantly enhance psychological tension, which is the key to maintaining immersion and the horror atmosphere.

In the digital era, the rapid advancement of technology is transforming various industries, with the accounting field experiencing notable changes. The introduction of financial robots in accounting is significantly improving efficiency, accuracy, and decision-making processes. This paper primarily examines the application of financial robots in accounting, focusing on their integration into financial workflows and the implications for accounting professionals. The study aims to understand the impact of these technologies on traditional accounting roles, while also identifying the challenges and opportunities they present. Using a combination of literature review and case study analysis, the research investigates domestic and international examples of technological adoption in accounting. The findings suggest that while financial robots enhance operational efficiency and reduce errors, they also require accounting professionals to adapt by acquiring new skills and embracing evolving roles. Future research could further explore the ethical and regulatory aspects of these technologies, as well as their broader impact on the accounting profession.

Short-video platforms, with their unique dissemination characteristics and social attributes, have become an indispensable force in the media ecosystem, profoundly reshaping the information reception behavior of media audiences. This article conducts an analysis from four dimensions: information reception channels, content selection preferences, cognitive processing models, and social interaction behaviors, exploring how short-video platforms change the information acquisition methods, attention distribution logic, meaning construction paths, and social relationship networks of the audience. Research has found that short videos, through mechanisms such as "fragmented immersion", "emotional dissemination" and "algorithm-driven", have restructured the media usage habits of the audience, while also triggering potential risks such as shallow information and fragmented cognition. This article puts forward countermeasures and suggestions such as optimizing the content ecosystem and strengthening media literacy education, providing theoretical references for building a healthy and orderly short video dissemination environment.

The paper examines a complex methodology for calculating the slope stability of a tailing storage facility based on comparing the results obtained through deterministic and probabilistic approaches. The analysis is performed in GeoStudio software, based on the limit equilibrium method, and with a probabilistic approach that uses a Monte Carlo simulation to compute a probability distribution of the resulting factor of safety. A slope stability assessment of tailing dam was conducted on the example of Ferrexpo Poltava Mining, and a conclusion was reached about their reliability and safety. The results of the deterministic analysis showed that the calculated factor of safety is by those established in Ukrainian regulatory standards. It has been recognized that the factor of safety is not a consistent measure of risk for tailings dam. Considering the variability inherent in the soil materials of tailings dam is a way to achieve more accurate results. The importance of obtaining a failure probability and a reliability index due to tailing dam stability was highlighted by comparing deterministic and probabilistic approaches.
