A Reactive Security Framework for Protecting AI Models from Adversarial Attacks: An Autoencoder-Based Approach
Authors: - Vasudhevan Sudharsanan
Published: December 2024

This paper proposes a reactive security framework for enhancing the resilience
of AI models against adversarial attacks [5, 6, 7, 8]. The framework leverages
runtime monitoring, anomaly detection, and model retraining to dynamically
adapt to evolving attack strategies. Anomaly detection is performed using an
autoencoder-based algorithm that identifies deviations from expected model
behavior [8, 9, 10]. Model retraining employs adversarial training to
”immunize” the model against similar attacks [5, 6]. We discuss the choice of
autoencoder architectures for different data types and detail the mathematical
foundations of both anomaly detection and adversarial training [3]. The
framework’s effectiveness is evaluated through simulations and benchmark
datasets, demonstrating its ability to secure AI models against diverse
adversarial attacks.

This system streamlines the learning process by reducing the time spent watching long videos while ensuring the retention of essential information. The "Educational Video Summarisation" tool serves as a practical solution in education, improving both teaching and learning efficiency by delivering concise notes from video content.
The Gurukul System: Ancient pedagogical Practices and their Role in Shaping Indian knowledge traditions
Authors: - Nayan Rajguru
Published: December 2024

Abstract:
The Gurukul system of ancient India, one of the earliest forms of structured education, played a crucial role in shaping the intellectual and cultural fabric of Indian society. This paper delves into the pedagogical practices within the Gurukul system and examines how they influenced the transmission and development of Indian knowledge traditions. In the traditional Gurukul setting, students lived with their Guru, engaging in a process of learning that was both formal and experiential. Knowledge was primarily passed down orally, emphasizing memorization, dialogue, and critical thinking. The curriculum in Gurukul's was diverse, encompassing not only sacred texts like the Vedas and Upanishads, but also subjects such as philosophy, astronomy, mathematics, arts, and ethics.
The relationship between Guru and Shishya (teacher and student) was central to the educational process, based on mutual respect, trust, and spiritual guidance. This system fostered a holistic approach to learning, integrating intellectual, spiritual, and moral education. The paper also explores how the Gurukul system was deeply embedded in the socio-cultural and historical contexts of ancient India. The educational practices were often shaped by caste, gender, and regional factors, leading to variations in the access to knowledge and the types of education available.
Further, the paper examines the decline of the Gurukul system due to invasions, colonialism, and the rise of Western educational models. Despite these challenges, the underlying principles of the Gurukul such as the emphasis on experiential learning, teacher-student relationships, and holistic education continue to resonate in contemporary educational debates in India. By understanding the Gurukul system, this paper highlights its lasting impact on Indian knowledge traditions and its potential lessons for modern pedagogy.

A historical and contemporary overview of library encyclopedias in Ukraine
Authors: Sokolov Viktor
Published: December 2024

The article traces the history of library encyclopedias, focusing particularly on Ukraine. It highlights that the initial attempts to compile such library lexicons in Ukraine date back to the early 20th century, though systematic efforts in this sector only began in the second half of the century. At present, Ukraine hosts two online library encyclopedias, including the Ukrainian Library Encyclopedia and the Kharkiv Library Encyclopedia. The article examines the concept of library encyclopedistics as presented in Ukraine’s academic discourse, emphasizing its multifaceted interpretation: as a scholarly discipline (encyclopedia scholarship), a practical activity (encyclopedia assembling), and publishing achievements in the field of library science (the pool of library encyclopedias, as well as wealth of subject-specific knowledge). Additionally, the author outlines proposed pathways for Ukraine’s further advancing library encyclopedias, as well as the related scholarship. These include establishing a coordination center for library encyclopedias (library encyclopedistics) and developing a comprehensive web portal. This portal would serve as an information and search system dedicated to library science and feature reference content from both national and regional library encyclopedias.

Awareness and Utilization of Free Maternal Healthcare Services among Women in Mt. Elgon Sub-County, Kenya
Authors: Furechi Oliver
Published: December 2024

Maternal mortality remains a matter of public health concern with over 300,000 women dying while giving birth annually. This has driven policymakers to come up with free maternal healthcare services as policy interventions. The Kenyan Government adopted the free maternal healthcare policy in 2013. The policy exempted maternal services from user fees in all public health facilities—the policy aimed at promoting skilled delivery to reduce pregnancy-related mortality.  In the Mt Elgon sub-county, only 45% of women delivered in a health facility, this was below the national average of 61.5 percent. This paper presents results from a cross-sectional study conducted in January 2021 in Mt Elgon Sub-County among 377 randomly selected women who had delivered in the preceding 12 months and 4 FGDs with women of reproductive age. Descriptive statistics were undertaken while the Chi-Square test was used for inferential statistics. Andersen’s behavioural model of health services use was utilized to examine how women’s demographic characteristics and awareness regarding the free maternal health policy had affected the utilization of maternal healthcare services. The results indicate that respondents were generally aware of the government's free maternal health policy. However, gaps still existed in terms of pushing awareness towards universal reach, infrastructure development, health worker-patient ratio, timely provision of essential supplies and long distance to health facilities. This calls for increased sensitization utilizing community health volunteers and allocation of financial and human resources allocation to the department of health within County Governments

Published: December 2024

Silver iodide (AgI) nanostructures have been considered as promising candidates for optical biosensors owing to their optical characteristics of optical properties, including tunable surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and fluorescence enhancement. Such properties let one analyze biomolecules with high sensitivity, which makes them ultra-useful in diagnostics. The formed AgI nanostructures can be synthesized using chemical precipitation and template methods that enable fine-tuning of the morphology and crystallinity of the final nanostructure. The presence of SPR enhances optical signals potentially, and fluorescence enhancement helps visualize biomolecule interactions easier as the analyte concentration is usually low. Such uses of biosensors include applications in proteins, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules for progress in disease diagnosis and pharmacogenomics. Moreover, the good biocompatibility level of the created AgI nanostructures makes it possible to integrate them into biological systems safely, increasing their usage in medicine. This integration of their appealing optics, biosensing operating principles, and biocompatibility establishes their centrality in the creation of future photonic biosensors for faster, intuitive, and painless detection.

This research aims to study how community empowerment can be implemented in Degayu Village and the influence on waste management. Based on questionnaires, interviews, and observations used to collect data, it shows that participation is strongly correlated with exposure to information, and environmental knowledge, but weakly correlated with environmental attitudes. In ensuring the validity of the results, the researcher used data source triangulation, to validate the findings from various possible perspectives.   The importance of regular information dissemination, valid and persuasive messages, provision of facilities, and the role of community leaders to help increase community participation in waste management was emphasized in this study. Communities can minimize waste production from the start by sorting at the source (e.g. separating recyclable and organic waste), composting, and actively engaging in waste banks. The results revealed that collaboration with community organizations, community leaders, and local government agencies as well as involving the entire community in its implementation with an empowerment approach will be effective. The implication of this finding is that program implementation can create community creativity in waste management and change people's habits in disposing of waste. These findings not only advance waste management practices, but also demonstrate the potential of community-based initiatives to drive positive change in two aspects, namely the environment and the economy. Future research should be conducted to identify community needs as a basis for building appropriate waste management institutions.
Implikasi Kelangkaan Pupuk Bersubsidi Pada Produktivitas Hasil Panen Tanaman Padi Di Sokduwet, Kecamatan Pekalongan Selatan

Published: December 2024

Objective. The purpose of this study is to determine how farmers in Sokoduwet, South Pekalongan subdistrict, respond to the phenomenon of the scarcity of government-subsidized fertilizer and whether subsidized fertilizer has a relationship with rice productivity.
Research Method. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach.
Results.  The study found that farmers not only complained about the scarcity of subsidized fertilizers but also that fertilizer prices continued to increase. This is not proportional to the results obtained by farmers during the harvest season. Several factors are causing the scarcity of government-subsidized fertilizers, including farmers' lack of awareness to register for e-RDKK. In addition, farmers do not immediately redeem subsidized fertilizers when encouraged to do so by using the Tani Card, so retailers can sell subsidized fertilizers to anyone, including farmers whose names are not registered in the government system. The phenomenon of subsidized fertilizer scarcity also has implications for farmers' behavior in dealing with this phenomenon. Among them are the wise use of subsidized fertilizers, the use of inorganic fertilizers balanced with organic fertilizers, and the hoarding of subsidized fertilizers by farmers as a form of preparedness when this phenomenon occurs again. 
Conclusion.  Farmers in Sokoduwet, South Pekalongan Subdistrict, stated that rice productivity is not only based on the use of fertilizers, but other factors can affect crop productivity, such as high rainfall intensity during the harvest season.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran pinjaman mikro dalam mengatasi permasalahan pinjaman kredit bank yang dihadapi oleh masyarakat Desa Sidosari. Akses terhadap kredit bank seringkali terhambat oleh persyaratan yang ketat, proses yang berbelit-belit, serta tingkat bunga yang tinggi. Hal ini mendorong masyarakat desa untuk mencari alternatif pinjaman lain, termasuk pinjaman mikro dari lembaga keuangan mikro. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi partisipatif, dan studi dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pinjaman mikro memiliki akses yang lebih mudah, persyaratan yang lebih ringan, dan proses yang lebih cepat dibandingkan kredit bank. Selain itu, pinjaman mikro juga memberikan pendampingan dan pembinaan usaha kepada peminjam. Masyarakat Desa Sidosari mengalami dampak positif dari pinjaman mikro, seperti peningkatan modal usaha, omzet penjualan, penambahan tenaga kerja, serta peningkatan pendapatan dan kesejahteraan. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa pinjaman mikro berperan penting dalam mengatasi permasalahan pinjaman kredit bank di Desa Sidosari dengan memberikan akses keuangan yang lebih luas kepada masyarakat desa. Rekomendasi yang diberikan mencakup peningkatan edukasi keuangan, penguatan regulasi dan pengawasan lembaga keuangan mikro, serta integrasi pinjaman mikro dengan program pemberdayaan ekonomi desa lainnya.

The safety culture of a school organization based on evaluation of self-preparedness – a multi-case study in comprehensive education schools
School safety is a legal right for every learner and staff. This study asks: what is the level of safety culture of comprehensive education schools from the perspective of self-preparedness and prevention measures? This multi-case study examines ten comprehensive education schools using document analysis. The data consists of ten self-preparedness evaluation reports that evaluate the safety of schools on a scale of weak – progressive and based on group discussions. The data is analysed from the perspective of safety management, risk management, safety-related documents, structural fire safety, security and safety communication and competence. The safety culture was mostly reactive in some schools and proactive measures were lacking. We conclude that comprehensive education schools need greater expertise and practical support in developing their safety culture.
