The difficulty of ensuring cyber-security is steadily growing as a result of the alarming development in computer connectivity and the sizeable number of applications associated to computers in recent years. The system also requires robust defines against the growing number of cyber threats. As a result, a possible role for cyber-security might be performed by developing intrusion detection systems (ids) to detect inconsistencies and threats in computer networks. An effective data-driven intrusion detection system has been created with the use of artificial intelligence, particularly machine learning techniques. This research proposes a novel twin support vector machine (tsvm) based security model which first considers the security features ranking according to their relevance before developing an ids model based on the significant features that have been selected. By lowering the feature dimensions, this approach not only improves predictive performance for unidentified tests but also lowers the model's computational expense. Trials are conducted using four common ml techniques to compare the results to those of the current approaches (decision tree, random decision forest, random tree, and artificial neural network). The experimental findings of this study confirm that the suggested methods may be used as learning-based models for network intrusion detection and demonstrate that, when used in the real world, they outperform conventional ml techniques.

In a vast majority of fields, the use of facial recognition for authentication is expanding. In this information age, authentication has become vital, and the need for faster and more secure methods of user authentication has been on the rise. The introduction of image processing technologies such as OpenCV has increased society’s reliance on face recognition. Using blockchain, information could be stored in blocks throughout the blockchain network. Blockchain is an extremely secure means for storing and protecting data from intruders. It is a highly disruptive technology that has the ability to alter every plane of society. This paper intends to implement opensource computer vision (OpenCV) to construct a facial detection model that will be employed in a blockchain-secured Attendance Monitoring System. It will not only automate the attendance procedure but also give the system unassailable security. This system will take a live video feed from a camera using OpenCV and identify the faces of students and record their attendance along with the entry time. The data will be kept in a distributed way over the blockchain network that will be accessible to everyone, but data cannot be manipulated.

Nowadays, people are becoming more and more concerned with their physical health, but mental health is not given the same level of attention. Even if they are aware that they have been afflicted by chronic mental illnesses, many people choose not to seek treatment out of fear of what others would think, a belief that they have lost their minds, a dislike of doctors, or all three. These circumstances make it urgently necessary to find a solution so that more individuals are not inclined to mental diseases. This paper focuses on forecasting mental health using deep learning approaches and machine learning algorithm that is support vector machine. Support vector machine is used to solve the existing problem, as many machine learning and deep learning techniques are helping to solve these contemporary difficulties. SVM gives more accuracy compared to other machine learning algorithms to predict the mental illness.

Asuransi telah menjadi komponen integral dalam sistem keuangan global dan penggunaannya semakin meluas di berbagai sektor. Terdapat dua macam asuransi, yaitu asuransi konvensional dan asuransi syariah. Tentunya kedua asuransi tersebut memiliki kelebihan dan kekurangan masing-masing. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui perbedaan antara asuransi syariah dan asuransi konvensional, mengetahui dampak positif dan negatif antara asuransi syariah dan asuransi konvensional, serta mengetahui faktor apa saja yang menjadi penghambat dalam perkembangan asuransi syariah di Indonesia. Pada penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan library research atau kajian kepustakaan yaitu dengan mengumpulkan data dari buku, majalah, atau dokumen terkait yang dapat mendukung penelitian. Hasil penelitian ini menjelaskan bahwa dalam asuransi syariah menggunakan prinsip-prinsip yang sesuai dengan syariat Islam, tidak terhindar dari gharar, maysir, riba, dan lain sebagianya yang dapat merugikan nasabah. Sedangkan dalam konvensional masih terdapat unsur gharar, maysir dan riba. Dalam asuransi syariah menggunakan akad tabarru (tolong-menolong) dan akad tijarah, sedangkan dalam asuransi konvensional menggunakan akad jual-beli (akad mu’awadhah, akad idz’aan, akad gharar, dan akad mulzim). Keuntungan dalam asuransi syariah adalah diperoleh dari surplus underwriting, komisi reasuransi, dan hasil investasi, bukan seluruhnya menjadi milik perusahaan, tetapi dilakukan bagi hasil dengan peserta.sedangkan dalam asuransi konvensional diiperoleh dari surplus underwriting, komisi reasuransi, dan hasil investasi seluruhnya adalah keuntungan perusahaan. Salah satu yang menjadi faktor penghambat perkembangan asuransi syariah di Indonesia adalah pertam, kurangnya sosialisasi tentang asuransi syariah kepada masyarakat. Kedua, Tenaga ahli asuransi syariah masih sangat terbatas. Sumber Daya Manusia (SDM) yang handal di bidang asuransi dan syariah sangat diperlukan untuk mendukung perkembangan asuransi syariah di Indonesia. Namun, di Indonesia masih kekurangan tenanga ahli asuransi syariah. Ketiga, dukungan nyata dari umat yang masih kurang. Keempat, Kurang maksimalnya dukungan dari pemerintah.

Published: April 2024

Nigeria's economy depends heavily on its agriculture industry; however, some obstacles prevent Small and Medium Enterprises from growing and being sustainable, especially in states like Bauchi. Although customer relationship management and e-marketing strategies can address these issues, there are still a number of obstacles preventing their widespread implementation. This study investigates the variables that influence the implementation of these strategies and their effects on the performance of Agri-SMEs in Bauchi State, Nigeria. Data from a sample of 150 Agri-SME operators in Bauchi State were gathered using a quantitative research approach and structured questionnaires. While regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses. The regression coefficients and average scores obtained from the study indicate a low R-square value and absence of statistically significant variables in the model, indicative of a weak predictive potential. The study concludes that although CRM and e-marketing have the potential to benefit Agri-SMEs, it is unclear how they would affect performance in Bauchi State. Future priority areas include nonlinear interactions, complex corporate settings, and the necessity of comprehensive strategies, capacity building, and governmental assistance. To facilitate the successful implementation of digital strategies in agriculture, Agri-SMEs should focus on comprehensive strategy formulation and capacity building, and policymakers should prioritise infrastructure and policy assistance.
Emotional and Cultural Resonances: A Nostalgic Analysis of Khaled Hosseini’s Selected Novels
Authors: Razaq Abdur , Ali Shah Irfan
Published: April 2024

This paper explores the nostalgia experienced by major characters in Khaled Hosseini’s selected novels, The Kite Runner and the Mountains Echoed. The study employs a qualitative-interpretive research methodology while applying textual analysis as a research method for data analysis, including Homi K. Bhabha’s theory of hybridity as the lens. The protagonists of the novels leave their homeland (Afghanistan) to pursue a better life in the host countries away from the turmoil of their native land, but they find the new lands antagonistic to their expectations, and as a result, they are confronted with various problems, including nostalgia, a pervasive theme that prompts the diasporic struggles of the immigrants and keeps challenging and problematizing their identity and lifestyle in the new world. This research seeks to unearth the nuanced layers of nostalgia in Hosseini’s storytelling, shedding light on the emotional and cultural resonances that have made his novels enduring classics.

Published: April 2024

Objective: This study aims to explore the correlation and clinical significance of homocysteine and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels with cognitive function in patients with bipolar disorder (BD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD).
Methods: Patients with BD admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to December 2022 were chosen retrospectively. BPD patients were categorized into comorbidity groups, while those without BPD were assigned to non-comorbidity groups, each consisting of 60 cases. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was utilized to assess serum levels of homocysteine (Hcy) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in both patient groups. Clinical symptoms were evaluated by the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) and the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS). Cognitive function was evaluated and compared using the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS). Pearson correlation analysis was performed on the correlation between patients' serum Hcy and hs-CRP levels and HAMD, YMRS, and RBANS scores.
Results: In the comorbidity group, patients exhibited significantly elevated serum Hcy and hs-CRP levels compared to the non-comorbidity group (p < 0.05). Patients in the comorbidity group displayed higher HAMD and YMRS scores than those in the non-comorbidity group (p < 0.05). Additionally, attention, speech, visual span, immediate memory, and delayed memory in the comorbidity group were notably lower than in the non-comorbidity group (p < 0.05). The speech, visual span, and immediate memory of RBANS in bipolar depressive patients with comorbid BPD were lower than those in bipolar depressive patients without comorbid BPD (p < 0.05), the speech of RBANS in bipolar manic patients with comorbid BPD was lower than those in bipolar manic patients without comorbid BPD (p < 0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the expression of Hcy and hs-CRP in the comorbid group was positively correlated with HAMD and YMRS scores, and negatively correlated with attention, speech, visual span, immediate memory, and delayed memory, and these differences were statistically significant (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: High serum Hcy and hs-CRP expression levels may regulate inflammatory responses, aggravating cognitive impairment in patients with BD and BPD. Serum Hcy and hs-CRP expression levels are significantly related to cognitive dysfunction. They are expected to guide the prevention and treatment of BD comorbid BPD patients.
Influencing Factors on the Efficacy of Aerobic Exercise Therapy in Depression: A Single-Centre Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Chen Guanru
Published: April 2024

Background: Aerobic exercise therapy can improve brain function and promote positive emotions in patients with depression. This study aims to improve the efficacy of aerobic exercise therapy in depression by investigating the influencing factors therein.
Methods: This study conducted a single-centre cross-sectional analysis of clinical data from 211 depression patients who received aerobic exercise therapy at Heze Mudan People's Hospital from May 2021 to May 2023. After excluding 10 patients who did not meet the inclusion criteria, the final cohort included 201 patients. The clinical data of patients with effective treatment and patients with ineffective treatment were collected, such as socio-demographic characteristics, disease status, depression degree, treatment compliance, and social support. Binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the factors affecting the clinical efficacy of aerobic exercise therapy in patients.
Results: Among the 201 patients, the effective and ineffective rates of aerobic exercise therapy were 80.10% (161/201) and 19.90% (40/201), respectively. When analysed as groups, no significant differences were observed between the effective group (EG) and ineffective group (IG) regarding gender, body mass index, course of depression, age of first onset, mental symptoms, years of education, personal income, or marital status (p > 0.05). However, the EG exhibited a reduced probability of family history of mental illness, smoking history, and severity of depression (p < 0.05), along with higher treatment compliance and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) scores compared to the IG (p < 0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that smoking history, family history of mental illness, treatment compliance, depression, and SSRS score were the primary influencing factors on the efficacy of aerobic exercise therapy (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Smoking history, family history of mental illness, treatment compliance, severity of depression, and social support are the primary influencing factors on the efficacy of aerobic exercise therapy in patients with depression. These factors should be emphasized during follow-up treatment to optimize the clinical treatment effect.

Authors: Wu Yuanhua , Cai Jing , Pang Bo , Cao Liping , He Qiankun , He Qiansong , Zhang Anbang
Published: April 2024

Background: Vascular dementia (VaD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disease characterized by cognitive impairment due to cerebrovascular factors, affecting a significant portion of the aging population and highlighting the critical need to understand specific targets and mechanisms for effective prevention and treatment strategies. We aimed to identify pathways and crucial genes involved in the progression of VaD through bioinformatics analysis and subsequently validate these findings.
Methods: We conducted differential expression analysis, Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA), Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis, and Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) analysis. We utilized pheochromocytoma 12 (PC12) cells to create an in vitro oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) model. We investigated the impact of overexpression and interference of adrenoceptor alpha 1D (ADRA1D) on OGD PC12 cells using TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL), reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), western blot (WB), and Fluo-3-pentaacetoxymethyl ester (Fluo-3 AM) analysis.
Results: We found 187 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the red module that were strongly associated with VaD and were primarily enriched in vasoconstriction, G protein-coupled amine receptor activity, and neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, and cell adhesion. Among these pathways, we identified ADRA1D as a gene shared by vasoconstriction, G protein-coupled amine receptor activity, and neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction. The TUNEL assay revealed a significant decrease in PC12 cell apoptosis with ADRA1D overexpression (p < 0.01) and a significant increase in apoptosis upon silencing ADRA1D (p < 0.01). RT-qPCR and WB analysis revealed elevated ADRA1D expression (p < 0.001) and decreased phospholipase C beta (PLCβ) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) expression (p < 0.05) with ADRA1D overexpression. Moreover, the Fluo-3 AM assessment indicated significantly lower intracellular Ca2+ levels with ADRA1D overexpression (p < 0.001). Conversely, interference with ADRA1D yielded opposite results.
Conclusion: Our study provides a new perspective on the pathogenic mechanisms of VaD and potential avenues for therapeutic intervention. The results highlight the role of ADRA1D in modulating cellular responses to OGD and VaD, suggesting its potential as a target for VaD treatment.

Results: A total number of 93 pregnant females were enrolled in the study. The average age of pregnant women was 30.6 ± 6.0 (20-43). The average hemoglobin in our study population was 11.1± 1.4 (8-13 g/dL). The mean range of WBC counts was 11,304/mm3 ±7722 (4100/mm3 - 81000/mm3), the mean value of RBC count was 4.1 mil/mm3 ± 0.6 (2-5 mil/mm3). The overall prevalence of anemia in pregnant females was 45% (n=42). Out of 42 pregnant anemic women, 25 (59%) had normocytic normochromic type of anemia, 15 (36%) had microcytic type of anemia, and 2 (5%) had macrocytic type of anemia. Mild anemia was recorded in 26 (30%) of the pregnant females, while moderate anemia was recorded in 16 (17%) of the pregnant females, and 51 (55%) of the pregnant females had no anemia.
Conclusion: Anemia was found in the majority of pregnant females visiting tertiary care teaching hospitals. The frequency of mild anemia was high and also according to severity.

Background: Urine cultures are performed in laboratories to identify any bacteria or other microorganisms present in urine samples. The purpose of this study was to investigate the microorganisms growing resistant to antibiotics in the urine culture and their antibiotics susceptibility testing.
Methods: For this investigation, the Microbiology Department's hospital management information systems records provided the culture and sensitivity data of the uropathogens found in urine samples. Urine samples collected midstream were prepared for microscopy and culture, and the organisms were identified using globally accepted methods. The Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method was used to determine antibiotic susceptibility in accordance with hospital clinical and laboratory standards as well as international protocols. In this investigation, the information and data were assessed using descriptive statistics.
Results: A total number of 207 urine culture data were extracted from the hospital management information system records of which, 116 samples showed positive bacterial growth. Candida had positive growth in 16.4%. Out of positive samples gender-wise, females were in the majority 66.4% and males were 33.6%. Escherichia coli bacteria frequently isolated in positive samples 58/116 (50%), whereas, Enterococcus spp were positive in 17 patients out of 116 (14.7 %). Gram-negative rods were positive in 16 patients out of 116 (13.8%), Klebsiella spp were positive in 4 patients out of 116(3.4%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were least positive in only 2 patients out of 116 positive samples (1.7 %).   
Conclusion: In our study according to gender distribution female frequency was higher than males. Escherichia coli bacteria were the most common isolate in positive samples, whereas, Enterococcus spp were observed. Vancomycin was most sensitive in all urine cultures against all organisms and Erythromycin was most resistant in urine culture. Antimicrobial resistance is a serious subject on national and international levels that needs continued surveillance and resolute management.
