Developing a Comprehensive Security Framework for Detecting and Mitigating IoT device Attack
Authors: Arora Rajeev Kumar , Mohd.Muqeem  , Saxena Manish
Published: September 2024

The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is revolutionizing various aspects of life. With projections by International Data Corporation (IDC) reaching two trillion devices in the near future, IoT applications are empowering individuals through smart gadgets. However, this interconnected landscape also presents a growing attack surface for malicious actors. As businesses and consumers embrace IoT, robust security becomes paramount. This paper proposes a comprehensive security framework for detecting and mitigating IoT device attacks. The framework addresses the increasing vulnerability of IoT devices, particularly to botnet attacks. The infamous Mirai botnet, with its publicly available code spawning variants, highlights the critical need for proactive security measures. Our framework outlines a multi-layered approach for effective threat mitigation. It encompasses methods for IoT botnet discovery, investigation, and neutralization. The initial module focuses on identifying vulnerable ports and attack vectors specific to IoT applications

Möglichkeiten der Verknüpfung qualitativer und quantitativer Zugänge – Narrative von Wasserstoff
Authors: Kern Lesley-Ann , Meer Dorothee
Published: September 2024

Narratives (defined as a discursive structure based on local and temporal indications and actors as part of a development of action helping to solve problems) are similar to linguistic phenomena such as metaphors or argumentative patterns usually analyzed in qualitative linguistic research. In this paper, our idea is to combine these qualitative linguistic methods with quantitative corpus linguistic approaches such as named entity recognition (NER). We present a pilot study in which we use current NER technology to semi-automatically detect the narrative of energy partnership in media discourse. Based on a manual pre-study of a part of our corpus, we defined detectable expressions with a semantic relation to the subject that we link to occurrences of the narrative. Our study shows that the automatic detection of narratives still proves to be difficult, yet using NER we could identify pre-defined narratives in our corpus. This shows that quantitative approaches can support qualitative text analysis and should therefore be considered when working with digital corpora to gain extensive insights into the material.

Authors: Asril  , Rustim  , Dede Pramayoza
Published: September 2024

This paper analyses the subject of adu-tandiang, which includes adu (fighting), tandiang (competing), and adu/tandiang (fighting/competing); three concepts of performance that are found in the performing arts and rituals of Pariaman society. This study uses an emic approach and grounded theory method to obtain supporting data about the concepts of adu, tandiang, and adu/tandiang. The research results show that the performing arts and traditional rituals in Pariaman are basically dynamic and always have adu-tandiang concept. The characteristics of performances with elements of adu, tandiang, and adu/tandiang are dynamic, and reflect the nature and character of the Pariaman people themselves, as a result of their history as a coastal community and facing many encounters with foreign communities. Therefore, the concepts of adu, tandiang, and adu/tandiang are generalisations of principles that characterise almost all performances in Pariaman society.

Evaluation of the Botanical Tourism Potential of the Protected Areas in the Central Black Sea Region
Authors: ÖZENLİ Betül , ÖZENLİ Ali
Published: September 2024

When examining developed and developing countries, it is evident that the tourism industry holds significant importance due to the high returns from foreign exchange. Countries striving to increase their share of international tourism are engaged in various efforts. The behaviour of present-day local and foreign tourists in participating in tourism activities or purchasing tourism services indicates that alternative tourism activities could replace mass tourism. Therefore, countries aiming to enhance their international tourism revenues should preserve alternative tourism values and ensure sustainability. Developments in industry have brought about specific environmental issues. Due to natural balance problems, people are more interested in clean air and wildlife. This situation leads individuals and societies towards ecotourism. Botanical Tourism is also gaining prominence in this process. When considering this tourism activity, it is evident that our country has significant geographical potential. Turkey, located in the world’s temperate zone, stands out with its unique plant diversity compared to many surrounding countries. However, it is quite challenging to say that this potential is adequately recognised, protected and utilised for tourism purposes. This study aims to identify the elements related to botanical tourism in the protected areas of the Central Black Sea Region, one of Turkey’s rich regions in terms of natural and cultural structures. The aim is to contribute to promoting and developing botanical tourism. Sustainable tourism practices, particularly botanical tourism, should be given priority to ensure the region’s development.

INTERGENERATIONAL TRANSMISSION OF MATERNAL EMPLOYMENT AND DAUGHTERS' CAREER PATHS: EVIDENCE FROM THE 2021 FAMILY STRUCTURE SURVEY
Authors: Karakaş Aydınbakar Ayşenur
Published: September 2024

The study investigates the intergenerational transmission of maternal employment to daughters’ employment outcomes using data from the 2021 Family Structure Survey. The results of estimations based on a linear probability model (LPM) and a probit model indicate a positive link between maternal employment and daughters’ employment. Furthermore, multinomial logistic regression results demonstrate that mothers working as salaried workers increases the probability of daughters to work as salaried workers. Similarly, mothers who have been employed as unpaid family workers transmit this employment status to their daughters. This pattern is consistent for mothers who have held positions as day laborers, employers, or have been self-employed, as they also influence their daughters’ employment in similar roles. The estimation findings also highlight the significant impact of higher education on the likelihood of daughters becoming salaried workers, indicating that higher levels of education substantially contribute to this outcome. The study provides valuable evidence into the intergenerational influence of maternal employment on daughters’ career paths.

Worldwide, millions of people suffer from neurological and psychiatric conditions, such as schizophrenia, depression, and neurodegenerative diseases. These conditions are often linked to hyperactivity of monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) in the brain, and inhibiting this enzyme can reduce oxidative stress, stabilize neurotransmitter levels, and alleviate symptoms. In this context, a pharmacophoric model was created using PharmaGist with 31 hits extracted from BindingDB to enable a pharmacophoric-based search of potential MAO-B inhibitors in ZincPharmer’s chemical space, followed by the building of 10 conformers for each molecule in the software OMEGA, screening for structural and electrostatic similarity to safinamide using ROCS (Rapid overlay of chemical structures) and EON (Electrostatic similarity for lead-hopping), respectively. In addition, the molecular docking with Gold using the score function was performed to rank the ligands with the highest probabilities of affinity to MAO-B and then discriminate those with suitable physical-chemical, pharmacokinetic, and toxicological features using the tools QikProp, SwissADME, and DEREK. Four potential ligands with selective MAO-B inhibitor properties were identified, which show promise as future therapeutic agents for MAO-B-related disorders.

Published: September 2024

O trabalho objetiva mapear a evolução da ocupa-ção e do adensamento urbano de Niterói, utilizan-do duas fontes, a saber: 1) anúncios de jornal, para auxiliar no entendimento da dinâmica imobi-liária da cidade entre 1970 e 2010, e 2) dados oficiais sobre vendas (ITBI) entre 2014 e 2021, para entender o comportamento mais atual do mercado imobiliário. Numa análise por regiões, a maior parte dos anúncios se concentrou na região das Praias da Baía (sítio urbano e região mais populosa). Analisando os bairros, o destaque fica para o bairro nobre de Icaraí. De uma maneira geral foi observada uma tendência de queda de anúncios de imóveis no centro da cidade e cresci-mento na região Oceânica do município. Quanto às transações imobiliárias efetuadas, há um perío-do de estabilidade ou queda até 2020, para, em 2021, um acentuado crescimento em todas as regiões, principalmente na Região Oceânica, uma possível consequência da pandemia e o aumento da modalidade de teletrabalho em vários ramos e profissões.

State-level regulation of disinfection byproducts in the United States
Authors: Wang Jie , McNally Max G. , Ulibarri Nicola , Gim Changdeok , Olson Valerie A. , Feldman David L.
Published: September 2024

Disinfection byproducts (DBPs), residual compounds formed from the chemical disinfection of drinking water, can cause a host of damaging public health and environmental impacts. This study evaluates the landscape of regulations designed to reduce the occurrence and/or impact of DBPs, focusing on regulations issued by the US states. Drawing on a systematic search of state administrative codes and agency websites, we first identify the presence, absence, and layering of DBP-related regulations. We then evaluate the number and types of policy tools – the specific approaches required by each regulation, such as monitoring requirements, economic incentives, and required treatment technologies – to identify how DBPs are being managed and how states cluster with relatively more and less robust regulatory frameworks. Finally, we evaluate the relationship between the regulatory approach and the frequency of drinking water quality violations for DBP compounds. While most states have at least one DBP-specific regulation, these vary substantially in their comprehensiveness. The most-used policy tools (monitoring, compliance schedules, and reporting) directly reflect federal regulations; few states have adopted innovative tools such as collaboration or financial incentives. We observe no relationship between regulatory efforts and water quality violations, suggesting that current policy implementation may not adequately address the complex risk of DBPs.

IMPACT OF CASHEW GRAFTED PLANTS ADOPTION ON PRODUCTIVITY AND HOUSEHOLD WELFARE IN BENIN
Authors: Léonard Hinnou Cossi , Régina Bonou-Zin Dossi Clarisse , Alfred Ayedoun O A
Published: September 2024

In Benin, cashew nuts represent a socio-economic and strategic interest for farmers and the government. New technologies, such as grafted plants, have been introduced to improve this crop's productivity. This study used the Propensity Score Matching (PSM) method to assess the impact of adopting cashew grafted plants on land productivity and farm household welfare in Benin. Data were collected from 200 cashew farmers, including 57 adopters and 143 non-adopters of grafted plants. The results revealed that the improvement in cashew nut yield due to adopting grafted cashew plants varies between 231 and 242 kg/ha respectively for Nearest Neighbor and Kernel matching algorithm. Nevertheless, this adoption requires important investments that contribute to increasing agricultural expenses. The results also revealed that grafted plants positively and significantly cashew income and total household income. Grafted cashew plants adopters have an additional 73 755 CFA per hectare cashew income. Total household income also improved by 110 000 CFA per hectare. However, the increase in income needs to be sufficiently large to reduce the proportion of poor among adopters significantly. These results prove that increasing cashew nut production in Benin and improving farmers' welfare will require developing cashew nut planting materials capable of boosting cashew nut productivity. To this end, implementing and diffusing grafted cashew plants throughout the territory requires significant investments to improve cashew productivity and farmers welfare.

Using simple random sampling, 45 farmers were selected randomly from 4 villages in Naogaon District.  Participants went through structured interviews, and the responses were recorded. Descriptive statistics, cost-benefit analysis, and Cobb-Douglas production function were used to analyze this study. Ordinary least square was used as the regression technique. Empirical results obtained from production function analysis considering hired labor, pesticides, planting, harvest & transport, and machinery costs positively affect Boro rice production while seed, fertilizer, plowing, and irrigation cost negatively affect Boro rice production. Boro rice cultivation was found profitable in the study area. The average per bigha net return of Boro farming was Tk. 1694.11. The study also discovered some challenges in Boro rice cultivation in that particular area. In the end, the study suggests some policies to enhance profitability in Boro rice cultivation in the Naogaon district and overcome the challenges. This study would be useful for the agricultural economics researchers and the policymakers of Bangladesh and countries with similar economies.

The paper assesses the antecedents of farmers' response to the cocoa rehabilitation program (CRP) in Sefwi-Boako District. The study adopted a quantitative method (descriptive survey design) to obtain 400 respondents through purposive and proportional sampling techniques. Face-to-face interviews with questionnaires were used to collect primary data from respondents. Descriptive (percentages, frequencies, mean, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (binary probit regression analysis) were used to analyze data. The results reveal that farmers had a neutral perception of the cocoa rehabilitation program and its effectiveness for cocoa production. Results from binary probit regression show that sex, educational level, cooperative membership, household size, and access to extension service were the significant factors determining farmers' participation in the cocoa rehabilitation program. The study contributes to the existing literature on the specific antecedents to farmer's participation in the Cocoa Rehabilitation Programme. If cocoa farmers are to respond to the program through participation, then these antecedents.

The study explores the relationship between educational aspirations and labour market outcomes among African secondary vocational education students. It reveals that students with vocational education are more aware of labour market demands and desire to acquire skills that align with industry needs. However, disparities in access to quality vocational training and societal perceptions of vocational education significantly impact students' aspirations. A comprehensive systematic literature review was explored to examine the impact of educational aspirations on labour market outcomes in secondary vocational education in Africa, focusing on countries like Nigeria and Ghana. The review focuses on studies published between 2010 and 2024, reflecting current trends and challenges vocational education graduates face. The study identifies key labour market outcomes linked to vocational education, including employment rates, job stability, and income levels. Graduates of vocational programs secure employment more rapidly than general education students but face challenges in advancing their careers due to limited opportunities for further training and professional development. The research calls for policy interventions to enhance the quality and perception of vocational education in Africa, ensuring that they meet immediate labour market needs and empower young people to achieve their long-term career aspirations. This research can potentially inform vocational education policy in Africa by developing targeted strategies to enhance the effectiveness of vocational training programs. Adapting policies that align vocational education with labour market demands can create a more responsive educational system that addresses the needs of both students and employers.

Movie reviews reflect how the public feels about a movie they have watched. However, because many reviews are posted on various websites, it is practically impossible to read each one. Summarizing all movie reviews can help people make informed decisions without reading through all of them. Previous studies have used different machine learning and deep learning techniques for sentiment analysis (SA), but few have combined comprehensive hyperparameter tuning and novel datasets for better performance. This paper presents an SA approach using deep learning models with optimized hyperparameters and a novel Rotten Tomatoes (RT) dataset to help viewers make better movie choices. SA, or opinion mining, is a computational technique to extract and analyze opinions and emotions expressed in text. We explore deep learning models such as Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), XLNet, Convolutional Neural Networks-LSTM (CNN-LSTM), and Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT). These models are known for capturing complex language patterns and context from raw text data. XLNet, a pre-trained model, effectively understands context by considering all possible permutations of the input sequence, BERT excels at using bidirectional context to understand text, LSTM retains information about long-term patterns in sequential data, and CNN-LSTM combines local and global context for reliable feature extraction. The RT dataset was pre-processed with data cleaning, spelling correction, lemmatization, and handling of informal words to improve the results. Our experiments show that XLNet performed better than other models on the Rotten Tomatoes dataset. The study demonstrates that SA of movie reviews provides insights into emotions and attitudes, allowing us to estimate a movie’s performance based on its overall sentiment.
Wartości drzew pomnikowych dla turystyki krajoznawczej – przykłady z województwa mazowieckiego

W artykule podjęto się próby określenia wartości drzew pomnikowych z punktu widzenia osób je odwiedzających ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem turystyki krajoznawczej. Cel ten zrealizowano na przykładzie 83 drzew zlokalizowanych na terenie województwa mazowieckiego. Analizy w tym zakresie dokonano w sposób wielokierunkowy. W pierwszym etapie zwrócono uwagę na parametry służące do oceny pomników przyrody. Dokonano także analiz przeglądu literatury pod kątem oceny postrzegania walorów krajobrazu. Następnie wybrano drzewa do oceny. Wyboru dokonano na podstawie: danych pozyskanych z PTTK Oddział Mazowsze o odwiedzanych w latach 2016–2022 pomnikach przyrody, prac studenckich powstałych w latach 80. XX w. do 2022 r., własnych preferencji. Wartości estetyczno-widokowe wybranych drzew opracowano na podstawie metodyki przedstawionej w artykule Ocena drzew szczególnych w krajobrazie [Wojtatowicz 2010, s. 100–105], w którym zaprezentowano arkusze ewidencyjne drzew: A1, B1 oraz T1. Ponadto na potrzeby postawionego celu opracowano arkusz P3 oraz dziewięć kryteriów, według których dokonano oceny drzew. Kryteria te dotyczyły ich położenia i dostępności, cech: estetyczno-widokowych, przyrodniczo-kulturowych i kompozycyjnych z uwzględnieniem otoczenia. Uzyskane dane zestawiono w tabeli. Przeprowadzone analizy wykazały, że na 83 przebadane pomniki przyrody, 54 z nich rosły w pobliżu miejsc lub obiektów atrakcyjnych dla turystów lub spacerowiczów, 73 w miejscach atrakcyjnych, 35 przy szlakach turystycznych i ścieżkach spacerowych. W przypadku 65% drzew pomnikowych niemożliwa jest ich obserwacja na tle otoczenia. W przypadku 6% drzew pomniki widać było z jednej strony, 7% drzew jest ogrodzonych, 6,6% drzew pomnikowych turyści nie mogą oglądać bez dodatkowych pozwoleń. Dwadzieścia jeden drzew z osiemdziesięciu trzech badanych podnosiło walory estetyczno-widokowe wnętrza, a estetyczne otoczenie wpływało pozytywnie na odbiór wartości wizualnej i percepcję samego drzewa. Czternaście z osiemdziesięciu trzech pomników przyrody uznano jako służące orientacji w terenie. Zasadność łącznego wykonania arkuszy T1 i P3 stwierdzono w przypadku 13% pomników przyrody. 86% z badanych pomników przyrody wymagało tylko arkusza T1. Słowa kluczowe: pomniki przyrody, ocena drzew, walory estetyczno-widokowe drzew i ich otoczenia, architektura krajobrazu, turystyka krajoznawcza
