Liberalization of global trade has presented an opportunity for sub-Saharan African economies to integrate into the regional and global value chains, secure stable markets for their agri-commodities, and increase the much needed private sector investment in the agriculture sector. However, for most African economies, realizing the opportunities associated with the integration of local agriculture value chains into the global supply chain has been more of a pipe dream. Moreover, the nature and organisation of agriculture value chains in most African countries, and the relevance of value chain integration in catalyzing access to finance through facilitating agriculture value chain finance remains largely unclear. This is in part due to the fact that, research evidence in this area is not only scarce but also remains fragmented across agriculture and access to finance related studies. This article briefly reviews the existing research literature relating to the relevance of agriculture value chain integration and agriculture value chain finance in the context of access to finance for the agriculture sector players in Uganda. The paper presents literature review findings, and identifies the knowledge gap which may be addressed in future research.

A variety of new C-acetyl and C-ethoxycarbonyl derlvatlves of hydrazonyl bromldes have been prepared and reacted with a range of a,@-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, Indene, lsothlocyanate, and acetylacetone to afford a wide variety of novel pyrazollne, thladlazollne, and pyrazole derlvatlves In excellent ylelds. The structural elucldatlon of the final products Is based on spectral and analytlcal studles.

Recognizing the value of open-source research databases in advancing the art and science of HVAC, in 2014 the ASHRAE Global Thermal Comfort Database II project was launched under the leadership of Laboratory. The exercise began with a systematic collection and harmonization of raw data from the last two decades of thermal comfort field studies around the world. The ASHRAE Global Thermal Comfort Database II (Comfort Database), now an online, open-source database, includes approximately 81,846 complete sets of objective indoor climatic observations with accompanying "right-here-right-now" subjective evaluations by the building occupants who were exposed to them. The database is intended to support diverse inquiries about thermal comfort in field settings. A simple web-based interface to the database enables filtering on multiple criteria, including building typology, occupancy type, subjects' demographic variables, subjective thermal comfort states, indoor thermal environmental criteria, calculated comfort indices, environmental control criteria and outdoor meteorological information. Furthermore, a web-based interactive thermal comfort visualization tool has been developed that allows end-users to quickly and interactively explore the data.

Despite the plethora of research showing the impact of environmental conditions on performance, the majority of UK businesses do not accept changes in productivity as part of the business case justification for improvements to the working environment. The authors’ intention was to develop a practical methodology to help predict the potential gain in worker productivity that can be expected following design improvements. They carried out a literature review of productivity research and conducted a meta-analysis of 75 studies to quantify the impact of environmental conditions and design factors on performance. The unique aspect of the literature review is that the reported percentage changes in performance were weighted according to the relevance of the research study to real offices and office workers. The weightings converted the widely varying raw research results into what appears to be a more credible range of performance effects. The authors believe that their figures are ones t...

Past thermal comfort resear=h has shown differences in the thermal sensation votes given in field and laboratory settings. However, such research tends to compare the votes of different groups of people in different environments rather than comparing the same people in each environment. Therefore, a two-phase study was conducted of the thermal comfort of 30 BRE employees in their home. in their office, and in a climate chamber. In the firs: phase each subject spent two 3 h sessions in each environment and the temperature was adjusted between sessions within the range 18-26 °C. Data loggers were used to record the air and mean radiant temperature, air velocity and relative humidity; subjective ratings of thermal sensation were obtained using questionnaires. The subjects wore the same clothing in each session and were allowed to conduct only sedentary activities. The reported thermal sensation votes were compared with those predicted using ISO 7730. The observed neutral temperatures for each of the three environments differed by up to 2 °C and were up to 1 °C different to those predicted. This finding has implications for energy use. In the second phase, the subjects were studied in their home and office only. No restrictions were imposed on clothing, previous or current activities, or environmental conditions. The observed thermal sensation votes were very poorly correlated with those predicted and with operative temperature.
