A Study on the Utilization of Deep Learning-Based Image Generators for Nail Art Design Creation: Focusing on the Colors and Patterns of Fish Scales
Authors: Lee Myoung-Joo , Kong Gyu-Bin , Choi Esther
Published: April 2024

This study aimed to develop nail art designs inspired by the colors and patterns of fish scales. Various images of fish were collected, and the colors, patterns, and textures of their scales were analyzed. Using deep learning-based image generator, designs replicating the colors and patterns of fish scales were created. Based on these designs, five nail art works were produced. The colors and patterns of fish scales are suitable for creative nail art designs, and designs inspired by fish scales demonstrate excellent visual effects due to the appropriate application of principles of form and expression techniques. Moreover, nail art designs inspired by fish scales can enhance the artistry and distinctiveness of nail art. This research highlights the potential of using fish scale colors and patterns in nail art design and represents a novel approach to using deep learning-based image generators as creative tools in nail art design. However, the nail art works produced in this study were limited and reliant on subjective evaluations. Future research should apply diverse evaluation methods to measure the quality and satisfaction of nail art designs and expand the study to include nail art designs using other natural materials besides fish scales.

Authors: Kim Min-Jung , Kim Min-Kyung , Kim Jeong-Hee
Published: April 2024

Wearing a mask is still advised since COVID-19 continues to spread. However, masks may also irritate the skin and cause mask acne, often known as “maskne”, which is a type of acne mechanica caused by friction between the skin and clothing. Therefore, there is a need to develop an effective maskne cosmetic. In this study, we made the maskne cosmetics containing Humulus lupulus extract and Copper tripeptide-1 and investigated its stability, safety and anti-inflammatory efficacy. The results indicated that the samples were stable after centrifugation, temperature cycling, viscosity, and pH tests. The cell viability range of maskne cosmetics was within 71%-80% at 2.5 mg/mL, which presented a weak cytotoxicity. In addition, cosmetic safety test results revealed that maskne cosmetics containing humulus lupulus extract and copper tripeptide-1 did not cause any skin responses. Expression levels of IL-1β and IL-6 were lowest in HS68 cells after treatment with a lotion containing 3%humulus lupulus extract and 3% Copper tripeptide-1. It was confirmed that maskne cosmetics containing Humulus lupulus extract and Copper tripeptide-1 reduce the expression of inflammatory cytokines IL-1, and IL-6 caused by wearing a mask. These findings indicate that prepared lotion containing 3% Humulus lupulus extract and 3% Copper tripeptide-1 is a promising maskne cosmetic with commercial potential.

Authors: So Jin-Hee , Lee Jung-Hee
Published: April 2024

The importance of sleep is being emphasized as interest in improving health and quality of life increases. In particular, the use of aroma oil has been expanded as a complementary therapy for sleep disorders. Aroma oil can be selected according to individual preferences and characteristics because it has various effects depending on the type. Therefore, the use of aroma oil suitable for individual preferences and characteristics can have a positive effect on the sleep habits of modern people who value health. Therefore, it is necessary to revitalize the beauty industry by developing customized aroma products based on the diversity of health-related lifestyle habits. In this study, 200 adult women over the age of 20 living in Jeollabuk-do were surveyed for general characteristics, sleep habits, sleep habits type, differences in sleep habits according to general characteristics, aroma oil aroma preference, and aroma oil aroma preference according to sleep habits and general characteristics. For the analysis, frequency analysis, factor analysis, cluster analysis, cross-analysis, independent sample t-test, one-way variance analysis, and Duncan test were used using the SPSS program. As a result of the analysis, it was found that there was a significant difference in aroma oil preference according to the final academic background and sleep habits of the subjects. In particular, high school graduates tended to prefer the scent of rosemary, the sleep-type group preferred the scent of lemon and lavender, and the insomnia group preferred the scent of rosemary. As such, it was confirmed that individual sleep habits and aroma oil preference were closely related. This is a study that proves the need for aroma product development and marketing, and is intended to be provided as basic data for revitalizing the beauty industry.

Authors: Yoo Jeong-Hee , Kim Kyung-Eun
Published: April 2024

This study analyzes the research trends related to "hair" and "scalp" by examining scholarly articles. To compare the differences in research topics across various fields and analyze the correlation between keywords, the statistical software R Studio was employed. The aim was to understand the types of keywords extracted through data analysis, visually grasp the trends in research, and propose future development directions and solutions. The results showed a steady increase in the number of published papers, with an 8.90% increase in the first phase, 22.0% in the second, 31.7% in the third, and 37.3% in the fourth. Additionally, the research was distributed across various fields without bias towards a specific topic, as evidenced by the word cloud analysis. The analysis of keyword rankings by phase revealed that the first phase focused on hair design, the second on fieldwork and education, the third on the beauty industry, and the fourth on beauty education. The topic-based word distribution graph formed six groups, specifically related to beauty: 'hair growth', 'satisfaction', 'hair design', 'status survey', 'beauty education', and 'experiment/measurement'. The percentage of papers by topic showed 'hair growth' leading with 24.7%, followed by 'satisfaction' at 22.5%, 'hair design' at 19.4%, 'status survey' at 16.0%, 'beauty education' at 13.6%, and 'experiment/measurement' at 3.8%. The ratio of topics over time indicated that early on, research was actively conducted on hair design related to fieldwork, but as time progressed, studies on satisfaction surveys and beauty education became more prevalent. In conclusion, from 2001 to 2022, research related to "hair" and "scalp" has been actively conducted across various fields, indicating that the beauty industry, which previously remained at a technical level, has developed into a higher level of technology through academic advancement, laying the foundation to meet consumers' needs.

Authors: Lee Hyun-Jeong , Kim Hye-Young
Published: April 2024

This study attempted to look at the concept of the quality of relationships between beauty service providers and consumers at the service provider level, which was not noted in previous studies, and to examine the effect of the quality of relationships with consumers on their work-life balance. The main research results of this study according to the purpose and method of the study are summarized as follows. First, as a result of analyzing the effect of the quality factor of relationship with consumers perceived by nail shop workers on their job burnout level, trust and satisfaction among the detailed factors of the quality of relationship with each consumer had a statistically significant negative (-) effect on the job burnout of nail shop workers. Second, as a result of analyzing the effect of the quality factors of relationships with consumers perceived by nail shop workers on their work-life balance level, immersion, trust, and satisfaction among the detailed factors of the quality of relationships with each consumer had a statistically significant positive (+) effect on the work-life balance of nail shop workers. Finally, as a result of analyzing the mediating effect of job burnout in the relationship between the quality of relationships with consumers perceived by nail shop workers on their work-life balance level, job burnout had the effect of mediating relationship quality and work-life balance. The conclusion of this study based on these facts is a reminder of the need to pay attention to relationship marketing as a new human resource management method in the beauty service industry today. It is suggested that a more systematic qualitative analysis study is needed to establish a specific relationship marketing strategy to obtain the relational satisfaction, commitment, and trust that can be obtained from the relationship of workers with consumers.

Published: April 2024

Purpose: We examine if the division of patients into low-, moderate- and high-risk groups also corresponds to different overall and cancer-specific survival after radical prostatectomy. Materials/Methods: The object of the study were 872 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy in the Clinic of Urology in "St. Anna - Varna" Hospital for the period from April 17, 1996, until November 25, 2022. Results: Overall and cancer-specific survival are lower in the high-risk group. When we divide the overall survival into two groups - up to and over 5 years after the operation, then low- and moderate-risk groups have better survival only after the fifth year of the operation. Conclusions: High–risk prostate cancer has very good overall survival within 5 years after radical prostatectomy, which means that an operation is a reasonable option for the treatment of this type of tumor.

Published: April 2024

Introduction: Toxocariasis is a zoonotic helminthosis caused by nematodes of the Toxocara genus. Humans are accidental hosts for the parasite. As Toxocara larvae migrate throughout the organism, they lead to the formation of allergic reactions. Purpose: Our goal is to study the connection between clinical allergy and toxocariasis by examining the frequency of infection with Toxocara spp. and the levels of anti-Toxocara IgG antibodies in patients with acute urticaria, chronic urticaria and other forms of allergic reactions. Materials and methods: Between 2018 and 2023, we tested 310 allergic patients serologically for anti-Toxocara IgG antibodies via the ELISA method. In addition we also tested 47 non-allergic people as a control group. Results: In our study, we detected anti-Toxocara IgG antibodies in 25,48% of allergic patients. We found that patients with allergy were statistically more likely to be seropositive for anti-Toxocara antibodies compared to the control group. We did not find any significant difference in the levels of antibodies between different types of allergic reactions. Conclusion: Our results show the need for serological testing for toxocariasis in all allergic patients. Additional methods and/or diagnostic markers are needed for proper assessment of cases and whether treatment is necessary.
Research on the Application of IU-EKF Algorithm for Feature Extraction of Flute Performers Based on Deep Learning
Authors: Qianqiu Shi
Published: April 2024

In order to achieve a more standardized teaching of flute playing gestures, a deep learning based application research on flute player hand shape feature extraction was proposed. Based on the theory of deep learning, a fusion network model based on VGG-16 was designed. The IU-EKF algorithm for deep learning was used to model, pose, learn, and train the hand shape of flute players. Experimental data analysis was conducted on the learning algorithm, and the experimental results showed that the model can extract gesture features for flute performance, whether on the back of the hand. The various angles of the upper and lower joints of the fingers have higher precision recognition than traditional methods. The feature extraction of flute gesture performance can also more effectively recognize the changes in different pitch angles of the gesture at different times, which has important reference value for the standardization of flute hand performance.
Turbulent wave-balance exchanges in the ocean
Authors: Thomas Jim
Published: April 2024

Oceanic flows are turbulent and multi-scale in nature, and are composed of fast internal waves and slowly evolving balanced eddies. Contrary to conventional wisdom in physical oceanography, the past two decades of in situ, satellite altimeter and realistically forced global scale ocean model outputs have revealed that internal gravity waves can have comparable or higher energy levels than geostrophically balanced flows at 10–100 km scales in different parts of the world’s oceans. These relatively recent findings have fuelled a wide range of research activities aimed at understanding how fast internal gravity waves interact with slowly evolving balanced flows, particularly with the goal of deducing whether internal waves can form an energy sink for oceanic balanced flows. In this paper, we comprehensively review theoretical, numerical and observational investigations undertaken to study internal wave-balance flow exchanges. Theoretical calculations, inspired by different wave-balance regimes seen in observational and global ocean model outputs, are used to point out that internal waves can affect balanced flow dynamics. The theoretical results are followed up by a detailed discussion of numerical results on wave-balance interactions in a broad set of parameter regimes. The numerical results reveal how different kinds of waves exchange energy with balance flow, affect energy flux across scales of balanced flow and facilitate the generation of small-scale dissipative balanced flow structures. The numerical simulation results and global internal wave energy and balanced energy maps are used to conjecture that out of the 0.8 TW of power going to balanced flow kinetic energy in the ocean, at least 0.1 TW could be dissipated by internal gravity waves. We therefore hypothesize that internal waves can form a non-negligible energy sink for balanced flow in the world’s oceans.

From policy to capital: assessing the impact of structural reforms on gross capital inflows
Authors:   University of Patras, Mavrogiannis Christos , Tagkalakis Athanasios ,   Bank of Greece and University of Patras
Published: April 2024

Utilizing a narrative database on structural reforms in 25 OECD countries from 1985 to 2020, we investigate the effects of labor and product market reforms on gross capital inflows. By applying the local projection method and addressing reform endogeneity with the Augmented Inverse Probability Weighted estimator, we find that structural reforms have a positive medium-term effect on both direct and portfolio investment. In particular, reforms boost investment, especially in environments of high quality financial institutions and amid low public debt. Furthermore, building on a new indicator of cabinet policy orientation, we find that newly elected market-oriented cabinets have a positive effect on direct investment inflows. Product market reforms are more conducive to the inflow of direct investment under cabinets that prefer a state-oriented economy. Labor market reforms significantly boost direct investment and portfolio investment under governments favoring a market-oriented economy.
COVID-19 impact in Crohn’s disease patients submitted to autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
Authors: Ruiz Milton Artur , Kaiser Junior Roberto Luiz , Piron-Ruiz Lilian , Pinho Tainara Souza , Castiglioni Lilian , de Quadros Luiz Gustavo
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is the virus responsible for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a disease that has been blamed for inducing or exacerbating symptoms in patients with autoimmune diseases. Crohn's disease (CD) is an inflammatory bowel disease that affects genetically susceptible patients who develop an abnormal mucosal immune response to the intestinal microbiota. Patients who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are considered at risk for COVID-19.

AIM

To describe for the first time the impact of COVID-19 in CD patients who had undergone autologous, non-myeloablative HSCT.

METHODS

In this descriptive study a series of 19 patients were diagnosed with positive COVID-19. For two patients there were reports of the occurrence of two infectious episodes. Parameters related to HSCT, such as time elapsed since the procedure, vaccination status, CD status before and after infection, and clinical manifestations resulting from COVID-19, were evaluated.

RESULTS

Among the patients with COVID-19, three, who underwent Auto HSCT less than six months ago, relapsed and one, in addition to the CD symptoms, started to present thyroid impairment with positive anti-TPO. Only one of the patients required hospitalization for five days to treat COVID-19 and remained in CD clinical remission. Nine patients reported late symptoms that may be related to COVID-19. There were no deaths, and a statistical evaluation of the series of COVID-19 patients compared to those who did not present any infectious episode did not identify significant differences regarding the analyzed parameters.

CONCLUSION

Despite the change in CD status in three patients and the presence of nine patients with late symptoms, we can conclude that there was no significant adverse impact concerning COVID-19 in the evaluated patients who underwent HSCT to treat CD.

Published: April 2024

Objective: To assess the vitamin D levels between adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus and the healthy control group and evaluate the relationship between HbA1c levels and vitamin D status in the diabetic group.
Methods: Our cross-sectional, descriptive study included 98 type 1 diabetic patients over 18 years old who applied to the Endocrinology Outpatient Clinic and 95 age- and sex-matched individuals without chronic disease. Patients with advanced renal or liver disorders, primary hyperparathyroidism, metabolic bone disorders, or using medications that might change vitamin D concentrations were excluded from the study. HbA1c and 25(OH) Vitamin-D3 levels were measured three times in 9 months, and the average of the measurements was used. Diabetic patients and control individuals were separated into three groups according to their vitamin D levels as follows: deficiency ( 20 ng/ml).
Results: Serum 25 (OH) vitamin D levels of diabetic patients were significantly lower than in healthy individuals (p=0.024). However, when diabetic adults were separated into three groups according to 25(OH) vitamin D levels, there was no significant difference regarding HbA1c levels (p=0.905).
Conclusion: Although preclinical data support the role of low serum vitamin D levels in the etiopathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus, studies examining the connection between low serum vitamin D levels and the prevalence of type 1 diabetes or glycemic control are not sufficient to reach a clear conclusion, including our study.
Laying the Exegetical Foundations of the Reformed Tradition: Zwingli’s Covenantal Reading of Genesis
Authors: Hildebrand Pierrick
Published: April 2024

This paper argues that Zwingli gained crucial exegetical insights during his lectures on the book of Genesis that made him the founder of covenant theology in the Reformed tradition, a theology based on the hermeneutic and redemptive-historical unity of the Old and New Testaments. Those lectures were held in the mid-1520s at the newly founded biblical-theological seminary in Zurich, almost nine years after Zwingli’s conversion to sola scriptura and two years after the Reformation was introduced in the city. In particular, this article explores passages where the Zurich Reformer explicitly referred to a single covenant made with Adam, Noah, Abraham, and Moses that aligns with the new testament of Christ.
Zwingli as the Father of the Hermeneutical Principle Fides quaerens intellectum
Authors: Opitz Peter
Published: April 2024

The first two Zurich Disputations of 1523 mark the beginning of a reformed ecclesiology. Moreover, they mark the beginning of a new understanding of Christian truth. ‘Truth’ can never be possessed by individuals or a church. It is always to be found only in listening to the word of the God who speaks through the medium of the Scriptures, in community with other Christians. The reservation of better instruction with regard to the understanding of the ‘divine Word’ and thus of Christian truth, which can, in principle, be provided by every Christian, was groundbreaking both for Christianity and for society on the threshold of the modern era.

Ancilla Politicae Ecclesiasticae? Felekezeti és egyházpolitikai szempontok a neosztoicizmus magyarországi recepciótörténetében – Laskai János Lipsius-fordításáról
Authors: Smrcz Ádám
Published: April 2024

Tanulmányomban a Justus Lipsius-féle neosztoicizmus teológiai implikációinak egy magyarországi megjelenését kívánom bemutatni Lipsius első magyar fordítójának, Laskai Jánosnak (1605– ?) a példáján keresztül. Laskai ugyanis nemcsak Lipsius két korai, kálvinista szellemi környezetben született főművének (De Constantia, Politica sive Civilis Doctrina) átültetése miatt tekinthető üde színfoltnak a neosztoicizmus magyarországi recepciótörténetében, hanem amiatt is, hogy a fordításokhoz írt előszavában az itthoni Lipsius-receptorok közül egyedüliként tett kísérletet a mester filozófiájának saját kezű összefoglalására. Ez a rövid írása pedig, ahogy fordításának bizonyos fordulatai is (fatum: Isteni-rendelés; res gestae: eleve meg-történt dolgok stb.) arról tanúskodnak, hogy a szerző-fordítót mindenekelőtt kálvinista apologetikai és egyházpolitikai megfontolások vezérelték munkája során. Ami Laskait különlegessé teszi a többi Lipsius-receptor között a korabeli Magyarországon, az a kálvinista teológia fogalomkészletének előbb említett invokálása: az utóbbi ugyanis arról tanúskodik, hogy Laskai – kortársaival ellentétben – érdeklődéssel fordult Lipsius metafizikai okfejtéseihez is, és helyesen mérte fel azok racionális teológiai következményeit. A dolgozat során Laskai fordításának bizonyos fordulatait elemzem, ami révén arra a következtetésre jutok, hogy a fordító tudatában volt mindazoknak a teológiai elköteleződéseknek, amelyeket Lipsius titkolni próbált szövegében.

Eliot, Mannheim, Polányi. Második világháborús angliai eszmecsere a keresztény elit szerepéről
Authors: Hörcher Ferenc
Published: April 2024

Különös jelensége a XX. század magyar eszmetörténetnek, hogy a század közepén számos olyan gondolkodó, politikai filozófus került ki az országból Nagy-Britanniába, aki keresztény/katolikus volt vagy lett (pl. Polányi Mihály, Mannheim Károly, Kolnai Aurél, Menczer Béla). A jelenségnek fontos része, hogy a század első két harmadában volt egyfajta keresztény/katolikus reneszánsz a brit kultúrában, amelynek olyan képviselőit említhetjük, mint Eliot, Evelyn Waugh, Chesterton vagy Hilaire Belloc. E gondolkodók egy része rendszeresen összejárt a Moot-körben, amelyhez olyan magyarok is kapcsolódtak, mint Mannheim Károly vagy Polányi Mihály. A tanulmányban elsősorban ezzel a csoportosulással foglalkozunk.

Currently, the training of specialists in credit technology, according to which students are taught at the University, determines the relevance of developing new conceptual foundations in the organization of educational and methodological work and the introduction of modern, information and communication technologies in the educational process. The above suggests the widespread use of information technology and personal computers to simulate various physical processes, both in the learning process and current control. The use of computers activates the process of studying the discipline by students, facilitates and accelerates the assimilation of new material and control, which ultimately improves the quality of education and deepens students’ knowledge. Therefore, the study of methods for modeling physical processes using modern application packages is currently the most relevant. In the article, for a visual representation of physical processes using the MathCad program, modelling of complex systems described by ordinary differential equations of the second order is given. Using this Mathcad package, a graph of forced oscillations without resistance in the presence of an external periodic force is obtained using the resolve function. The paper also talks about the use of physical models in the educational process.

Authors:   Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Spankulova L.S.
Published: April 2024

The article discusses the issues of assessing the degree of willingness of the Kazakh population to pay for new drug supply programs. An important result is that proposals for institutional innovations have been developed, which are formed by taking into account the opinions of residents from regions of Kazakhstan. This kind of information is necessary for government bodies to solve social problems and obtain economic and other results under government programs. Research can be continued with regard to the compatibility of the proposed approaches with compulsory social health insurance. With regard to analogues, in the Russian Federation there was an attempt to introduce a similar mechanism and to submit a proposal for a draft law that would introduce this type of insurance into a compulsory system, which is planned to be introduced by 2025.

Sacral cysts have become a neurological disease that has received widespread attention in recent years. Its etiology and pathogenesis are still unclear, and it is more commonly believed to be the result of the interaction of multiple factors, which leads to clinical symptoms such as chronic low back pain and dysfunction of urinary and fecal functions. The disease is detected and diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging, and treatment options include conservative treatment, interventional therapy, and surgical removal. However, there is no consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of sacral cysts, which has led to stagnation in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. This article summarizes the definition, epidemiological characteristics, etiology and pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of this disease, in order to provide certain reference for clinical work.

Published: April 2024

Choledocholithiasis is a biliary system disorder that plagues people's health. With the use and development of minimally invasive techniques, laparoscopy, duodenoscopy, and choledochoscopy, the treatment of choledocholithiasis has become more demanding, and in recent years, several studies have shown that primary closure after laparoscopic biliary exploration demonstrates a therapeutic efficacy not inferior to the placement of a T-tube for drainage in the postoperative period. Summarizing the studies published in the last 5 years on primary closure after laparoscopic biliary exploration, the results show that in appropriate cases, primary closure after laparoscopic biliary exploration is safe and effective, and compared with T-tube drainage, it can reduce the length of hospital stay, the hospitalization cost, and improve the quality of life of patients.
Costituzione e il sistema del diritto del lavoro. Lineamenti di una teoria generale
Authors: Smuraglia Carlo
Published: April 2024

Il volume viene pubblicato nel 1958, in un’epoca in cui ancora si dibatteva della valenza giuridica della Costituzione e in cui il lavoro era ancora regolato dalle norme di stampo corporativo. L’opera offre una rilettura sistematica del diritto del lavoro alla luce dei principi costituzionali. La rilevanza della persona, il principio di eguaglianza sostanziale sancito dal comma II dell’art. 3 Cost., e il diritto al lavoro sono alla base del riconoscimento di una società divisa dalle differenze di ordine economico e sociale, che presuppone un riequilibrio attraverso un sistema di garanzie tali da bilanciare il potere economico imprenditoriale con la primazia sociale e politica delle forze del lavoro. È alla luce dei principi fondamentali della Costituzione che i diritti al lavoro, alla retribuzione sufficiente, alla sicurezza sociale e di libertà sindacale diventano diritti indisponibili della persona, immediatamente operanti anche nei rapporti tra privati. Ed è sempre sulla base dei principi di democrazia e di libertà che vengono definiti nel saggio i diritti di autonomia collettiva.Nonostante gli oltre sessanta anni densi di storia e di mutamenti che ci separano da questa prima monografia di Carlo Smuraglia, i principi in essa affermati rimangono alle fondamenta dell’attuale sistema normativo del lavoro e, al contempo indicano un percorso verso l’inveramento dei principi costituzionali che non ha mai perso di attualità.
Effect of drought on seed quality and germination of Acacia senegal Willd.

Published: April 2024

Acacia senegal Willd. is source of gum arabic and one of the important agroforestry components in arid regions of India. It produces polymorphic seeds. In general, seeds do not require any pre-treament for germination under nursery environment. Seeds can be stored for two years and after that seed viability is reduced. Smaller seeds have low germination value and need to be discarded if the quality seedlings are to be raised in nursery. Drought affects the seed quality and seed size is especially often reduced.

The field of cybersecurity constantly evolves as attackers develop new methods and technologies. Defending against cyberattacks involves a combination of robust security measures, regular updates, user education, and the use of advanced technologies, such as intrusion detection systems and artificial intelligence, to find out the threats in real-time. IDS are designed to identify and address any unauthorized actions or potential security threats within a computer network or system. A hybrid intrusion detection system (IDS) combines many detection techniques and strategies from different IDS types into a single, coherent solution. Combining the benefits of each approach should result in more comprehensive and effective intrusion detection. This paper outlines a proposed anomaly intrusion detection system (AIDS) framework that leverages a hybrid of deep learning strategies. It incorporates Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) models, which were developed using XGBoost, and their efficacy was assessed with the NSL-KDD dataset. The evaluation of the suggested model focused on its accuracy, detection capabilities, and the rate of false positives. The outcomes of this research are noteworthy within the cybersecurity field. In this paper, a framework of an Anomaly IDS is proposed. The purpose of an anomaly IDS, or AIDS, is to spot odd behavior on a network or system that might point to a security breach or malevolent attempt to hack it. Anomaly-based IDSs concentrate on finding departures from accepted typical behavior, in contrast to signature-based detection systems, which depend on a predefined database of known attack patterns.

This research shows a complete security design for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. It improves security by using five methods that work together. At the beginning of the process, a machine learning-based method for ranking changes is used. Then, architectures are put in place for scalable patch distribution, anomaly detection, dynamic risk assessment, and integrating threat data. Using five connected algorithms, the purpose of this research is to create a complete security framework for Internet of Things devices. Dynamic risk assessment, scalable patch delivery, integration with threat intelligence, and anomaly detection for zero-day vulnerabilities are among its characteristics. It also identifies zero-day vulnerabilities. Furthermore, it prioritises repairs using machine learning data. Every solution seeks to address a specific component of IoT security, such as dynamic risk assessments, effective patch distribution, and patch prioritisation based on vulnerability data. It is critical to maintain the Internet of Things ecosystem's safety, flexibility, and efficiency. An integrated approach provides a strong defence against cyberattacks, which is crucial for ecosystem preservation.With this system, you can get better accuracy, flexibility, and resource use than with other methods. To help explain how the methods work, charts and flowcharts are used. The ablation study indicates that each method is important because it shows how they all help keep IoT devices safe. The suggested design considers how cyber risks are always changing to protect connected devices in a lot of different places from hackers.

Cultural background plays an important role in the organizational environment and has a wide and profound impact on employee behavior. Based on the cultural dimension theory proposed by Hofstede, this article attempts to explain more clearly from a theoretical perspective the predictable effects that different cultural backgrounds may have on cooperation in cross-cultural teams. This article also refers to a research report that investigated the cross-cultural after-sales team of "DM Company". It attempts to use this study as an example to explore the impact of different cultural backgrounds on sales work in cross-cultural teams, and to explore the impact of other cultural backgrounds on work. This paper aims to explore the impact of cultural background on employee behavior, including communication style, decision-making style, work attitude and so on. By analyzing how different cultural backgrounds shape employee behavior, it can help organizations better manage diverse employee groups and improve work efficiency and employee satisfaction.
