Integration of Expectation Maximization using Gaussian Mixture Models and Naïve Bayes for Intrusion Detection
Authors: Ghimire Loka Raj , Chitrakar Roshan
Published: April 2021

Intrusion detection is the investigation process of information about the system activities or its data to detect any malicious behavior or unauthorized activity. Most of the IDS implement K-means clustering technique due to its linear complexity and fast computing ability. Nonetheless, it is Naïve use of the mean data value for the cluster core that presents a major drawback. The chances of two circular clusters having different radius and centering at the same mean will occur. This condition cannot be addressed by the K-means algorithm because the mean value of the various clusters is very similar together. However, if the clusters are not spherical, it fails. To overcome this issue, a new integrated hybrid model by integrating expectation maximizing (EM) clustering using a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) and naïve Bays classifier have been proposed. In this model, GMM give more flexibility than K-Means in terms of cluster covariance. Also, they use probabilities function and soft clustering, that’s why they can have multiple cluster for a single data. In GMM, we can define the cluster form in GMM by two parameters: the mean and the standard deviation. This means that by using these two parameters, the cluster can take any kind of elliptical shape. EM-GMM will be used to cluster data based on data activity into the corresponding category.

Predictors of Lipid Peroxidation as a Criterion for the Diagnosis of Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma
Authors: Pavlova L. S. , Gazizova I. R. , Alekseev V. N. , Alekseev Yu. A.
Published: April 2021

This review of modern literature presents the issue of early diagnosis of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) which is one of the most important problems in ophthalmology. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of glaucoma patients all over the world ranges from 60.5 to 105 million people, and in the next 10 years it will increase by another 10 million. The subtle onset of the disease usually leads to late diagnosis, since visual field defects are often first detectable by visual field testing when 25–35% of retinal ganglion cells have already been lost. In modern studies, it has been established that the cell death in POAG is accompanied by oxidative stress. It is considered a key factor indicating the pathological process of a fairly large number of chronic diseases of the whole body, including complicated eye pathologies and inﬂammatory processes. The resulting free radicals oxidize lipids and phospholipids which leads to their peroxidation and triggers damage to cell membranes. The lipid peroxidation is one of obligatory processes occurring in neurodegenerative conditions including POAG. Modern technologies analyzing lipid peroxidation may accelerate the diagnosis, to identify glaucoma biomarkers at an earlier stage, and as a result to maintain quality of vision more efficiently. These studies were carried out in different countries and using different methods such as serological proteomic analysis, chromatography and mass spectrometry, and new technological approaches such as MultiOmics. The study of the protein profile, lipase activity, nitric oxide concentration, activity of carbonic anhydrase enzyme, malondialdehyde (MDA) and other compounds are also very informative. Various ﬂuids were taken as a basis for the study: tears, aqueous humor of the anterior chamber, blood and its components. Together these technologies enable to evaluate the oxidative process in different ways. Earlier diagnosis of glaucoma is very important as it will enable to maintain the quality of vision for a longer time and reduce the rate of the disease progression. Keywords: primary open-angle glaucoma, lipid peroxidation, lacrimal ﬂuid, serum.

Building Civic-Political Nation in Modern Russia: State of the Issue and Prospects
Authors: Srybnaya Polina Ivanovna
Published: April 2021

The purpose of the study is to analyse the civic-political vector of nation-building in its connection with ethnocultural approaches to understanding the Russian nation. Scientific novelty of the research lies in contrasting ideal model characteristics of the civic nation with real processes of nation-building in modern Russia and their theoretical formulation in academic and political discourses. As a result, it is proved that the discursive forms necessary for recording the civic nation existence have been created, but they have not been filled with the appropriate content yet. Therefore, the project of civic-political nation-building is interpreted by many Russian scientists as unrealised. Nevertheless, there are certain prospects for implementation of this project in Russia. In order to do so, it is necessary to do away with mindless repetition of the western experience and to build a civic nation in accordance with domestic specifics of understanding the national issue, namely, taking into account traditions of ethnocultural understanding of the nation.

Authors: Tsiplakova Yulia Vladimirovna , Dmitrieva Anastasia Valerievna
Published: April 2021

The study aims to trace a complex of historical and philosophical transformations of the subject conception in the Western European philosophy. The article reveals the origins of transcendentalism in R. Descartes’s philosophy and its development in B. Spinoza’s metaphysics. It is noted that classical understanding of the transcendental subject essence was formed in I. Kant’s philosophy, while non-classical understanding was developed in A. Schopenhauer’s and E. Husserl’s philosophy. The study is novel in that it is the first to postulate a set of features of the non-classical conception of the transcendental subject, peculiar to the Western European philosophy of the XIX-XX centuries. The attained results have shown that understanding of the transcendental subject, developed by the first third of the XX century and associated with the non-classical philosophical tradition, eliminates a number of contradictions in philosophy of the Modern Age, opening up new horizons for thematisation of intersubjectivity problems for subsequent thinkers.

In this paper, the nonlinear motions of marine risers are studied using the Newton's Harmonic Balance Method (NHBM). The nonlinear vibrational equations of the marine risers were obtained in the present study using the Hamilton principle and the Euler–Bernoulli beam theory. The Galerkin's decomposition technique is used to convert the partial differential governing equation (PDE) of the riser vibrations to the ordinary differential equation (ODE). By using the NHBM method, an analytical formulation has been obtained to express the natural nonlinear frequency of the riser. The effect of design parameters such as riser length and initial static displacement of high support has been investigated on riser frequency, which shows acceptable accuracy after comparing the results with previous research. The results show that fluid damping coefficient has a great effect on system instability and reducing this coefficient increases the stability range of the system. Examining the effect of nonlinear parameters shows that the effect of these parameters is greater in large amplitude of motion.

Laptop has always been a very useful tool for studies and most university students own at least one laptop. However, not all university student knows how to diagnose and troubleshoot their laptop when it is not working right. Most university student would rather hire computer technician to fix their laptop even though the solution to their laptop problem is rather simple. As cost of living increases every year, so does the cost of hiring a computer technician. Therefore, an expert system for laptop fault diagnostics was proposed to be developed. The objective of this study is to develop an expert system capable of diagnosing the cause of a laptop problem by analyzing user’s answers to the questions displayed by the system. The proposed system would also provide easy to follow solution to the user on how to solve the problem. The methodological approach to developing this system is by following waterfall model. There are five phases in a waterfall model, however only four phases will be executed namely requirement, design, implementation, testing phase. By using this system, user can easily identify possible root causes to their laptop problem by answering few questions related to their laptop problem. On top of that, the expert system will provide appropriate recommendation to the diagnosed laptop problem. Using this system, the time required to diagnose a computer as compared to manual diagnosis will reduce drastically. Most process in manual diagnosis will be automated and handled by the expert system. Lastly, user can save up unnecessary expenditure used to hire a computer technician.

Ao longo dessa primeira década de implantação, pude acompanhar o trabalho que vem sendo realizado e testemunhar, na condição de diretor-geral, pró-reitor de Desenvolvimento Institucional e Reitor do IFG, a importância do Campus Luziânia para o desenvolvimento regional e local, na promoção de justiça social, equidade e geração de novas tecnologias. Este livro, escrito a várias mãos, representa um pouco do trabalho realizado por um coletivo de professores e professoras, abnegados, que durante uma década de labor em uma instituição federal de Ensino Técnico Profissionalizante tem contribuído para a mudança de trajetórias de vidas, promovendo uma verdadeira inclusão social. Ao longo dos capítulos desta obra, temos uma diversidade de temas que se apresentam como uma possibilidade de contribuição com o debate necessário e atual da Educação Profissional. São temas que contextualizam caminhos dignos de emancipação humana, de articulação do ensino, da pesquisa aplicada e da extensão tecnológica com outras políticas públicas, como a segurança pública. O foco na verticalização do ensino e na agregação da formação acadêmica com o preparo para o mundo do trabalho, como ação transformadora da realidade do ensino brasileiro, gerando uma nova possibilidade de futuro e um novo espaço para desenvolvimento da trajetória educacional dos trabalhadores, evidencia o fato de o Campus Luziânia fazer parte de um projeto inédito no mundo.
Model-driven development for interactive surface prototypes
Authors: Mthunzi Everett M. , Mueller Mathias , Kammer Dietrich , Echtler Florian
Published: April 2021

Interactive surface prototypes in the research community are typically application-specific. However, common features in existing artifacts suggest recurring design considerations. Given the rapid accumulation of near-identical prototypes, there is a need to promote design reuse. Existing research prototypes motivate abstracting generic components and architectural views to inform future designs. In this paper, we propose a UML-based framework for designing, documenting, and sharing interactive surface prototypes. The framework composes hardware, middleware, and software meta-models to support developers with technology-agnostic guidelines for expressing prototypes unambiguously. The meta-models are based on the study of existing prototypes and are evidence-based. For validation, we use the proposed framework to express interactive surface artifacts from prevailing studies. We then present the resulting model representations to experts to learn their perceptions towards the model-driven approach. As a proof of concept, and to show tacit benefits, we conducted a case study using ReFlex: a software framework for implementing elastic displays. Our findings highlight three significant benefits: (i) an accessible graphical syntax with unambiguous model representation, (ii) a system for capturing arbitrary technical specifications, and (iii) flexible model representation with consistent notation.
Frequencies 171.160 Hz, 174.989 Hz, and 1185.131 Hz useful in combating COVID-19 (Novel Coronavirus)

The paper presents the works carried out by different researchers for identifying the SARS-CoV-2 virus structure, and its background with the present medication being addressed to the COVID-19 patients. The paper discusses three candidates for possible defense and cure of humans against the virus along with the regular medication. The first is the resonant frequency therapy, which has proven its efficacy for treating different types of viral infection and cancer cells as the capsid of Rubella measles virus, Satellite Tobacco necrosis Virus, Cancer cells and many more are neutralized on the application of frequency equal to the resonance frequency of the protein shell of the virus. It is expected that there must be a resonance frequency corresponding to the capsid of the SARS-CoV-2, on the application of which might result in the disintegration of the protein shell. As treating a huge number of people in hospitals is becoming increasingly difficult and large number of population is under quarantine, a resonance audio frequency of this sort embedded in a soothing music can be melodius, and the same if played in public spaces and homes might help a great deal. The frequencies (approximate values) are 171.160 Hz, 174.989 Hz, 1185.131 Hz the complete details regarding administration and calculation of the frequencies are discussed in this manuscript. This treatment along with the presently administered treatment to COVID-19 patients might aid in their quick recovery from illness. Further the audio frequency/ resonance frequency therapy, and the strategy discussed in this manuscript might be useful in future from any kind of Virus attacks/ Biological warfares either intentionally or naturally. Also, the medicinal properties of ethnomedical plants such as Piper nigrum, and Ocimum tenuiflorum L and essential oils such as Eucalyptus oil are discussed. The last one being the antiviral activities of copper in the form of copper oxide nanoparticles in medicine which has proven its efficacy for viral prevention, replication, and RNA degradation are also discussed.
