Authors: Suwandi Suwandi
Published: June 2024

A research article is a kind of academic writing that is extensively utilized by scientists to explain their thoughts in the present day. This paper focuses on the abstract part since it is an important representation of the substance of an academic paper. This study intends to compare the verb use in abstracts of scientific and social research articles. To examine this conversation, qualitative descriptive research is performed in this study. This research investigates the frequency of the verbs identified by LancsBox 6.0 using corpus analysis. This research employs 15 scientific abstracts and 15 social abstracts produced by Indonesian authors and published between April 1st until September 30th, 2021 in order to determine the most and least commonly utilized verb types in each study. This study's objectives are to determine the types of verbs used in science and social article abstracts, to determine the frequency of verb use in science and social article abstracts, and to explain why x types of verbs are the most and y types are the least prevalent in science and social research article abstracts. Material, relational, cognitive, possessive/relational, perception/relational, feeling, existential, verbal, and corporeal are the verb kinds utilized in abstracts of scientific and social research articles, according to the study's findings. In both scientific and social abstractions, the material verb type that conveys a definite meaning is used most often. In contrast, corporeal, which expresses subjective meaning, is utilized least often in abstracts of scientific and scholarly articles. It may be argued that material verbs are most commonly utilized in academic writing that requires an objective statement as a defining property of the genre.

Published: June 2024

Cloud storage environment permits the data holders to store their private data on remote cloud computers. Ciphertext Policy Attribute Based Encryption (CP-ABE) is an advanced method that assigns fine-grained access control and provides data confidentiality for accessing the cloud data. CP-ABE methods with small attribute universe limit the practical application of CP-ABE as the public parameter length linearly increases with the number of attributes. Further, it is necessary to provide a way to perform complex calculations during decryption on outsourced devices. In addition, the state-of-art techniques found it difficult to trace the traitor as well as revoke their attribute due to the complexity of ciphertext updation. In this paper, a concrete construction of CP-ABE technique has been provided to address the above limitations. The proposed technique supports large attribute universe, proxy decryption, traitor traceability, attribute revocation and ciphertext updation. The proposed scheme is proven to be secure under random oracle model. Moreover, the experimental outcomes reveal that our scheme is more time efficient than the existing schemes in terms of computation cost.

The VANET architecture is vulnerable to various attacks, such as DoS and DDoS attacks hence various strategies were previously employed to combat these attacks, but the presence of end-to-end transparency and N-to-1 mapping of different IP addresses create failure in the blockage and not able to determine the twelve variants of DDoS attacks hence a novel technique, Encrypted Access Hex-tuple Mapping Attack detection was proposed, which uses triple random hyperbolic encryption, which performs triple random encoding to encrypt traffic signals and obtains the public key by plotting random values in hyperbola to strengthen the access control in the middlebox and Deep auto sparse impasse NN is used to detect twelve variant DDoS attacks in the VANET architecture. Moreover, to provide immunity against attack, the existing approach uses various artificial immune systems to prevent DDoS attacks but the selection of positive and negative clusters generates too many indicator packets. Hence a novel technique, Stable Automatic Optimized Cache Routing proposed, which uses a Deep trust factorization NN to detect irrational nodes without requiring prior negotiation about local outliner factor and direct evidence by automatically extracting trust factors of each node to manage the packet flows and detecting transmission of dangerous malware files in the network to prevent various types of hybrid DDoS attacks at VANET architecture. The proposed model is implemented in NS-3 to detect and prevent hybrid DDoS attacks.

In the modern world, the military sphere occupies a very high place in the life of the country. At the same time, this area needs quick and accurate solutions. This decision can greatly affect the unfolding of events on the battlefield and indicate that they must be used carefully, using all possible means. During the war, the speed and importance of decisions are very important, and we note that the relevance of this topic is growing sharply. The purpose of the work is to create a comprehensive information system that facilitates the work of commanders of tactical units, which organizes the visualization and classification of aerial objects in real-time, the classification of objects for radio-technical intelligence, the structuring of military information and facilitates the perception of military information. The object of research/development is a phenomenon that creates a problematic problem, has the presence of slowing factors in the process of command and control, using teams of tactical links, which can slow down decision-making, as well as affect their correctness. The research/development aims to address emerging bottlenecks in the command-and-control process performed by tactical link teams, providing improved visualization, analysis and work with military data. The result of the work is an information system for processing military data to help commanders of tactical units. This system significantly improves on known officer assistance tools, although it includes a set of programs that have been used in parallel on an as-needed basis. Using modern information technologies and ease of use, the system covers problems that may arise for commanders. Also, each program included in the complex information system has its degree of innovation. The information system for structuring military information is distinguished by the possibility of use on any device. The information system for the visualization and clustering of aerial objects and the information system for the classification of objects for radio technical intelligence are distinguished by their component nature. This means that the application can use sources of input information and provides an API to use other processing information. Regarding the information system for integration into information materials, largely unknown terms and abbreviations are defined, so such solutions, cannot integrate the required data into real documents. Therefore, using this comprehensive information system, the command of tactical units will have the opportunity to improve the quality and achieve the command-and-control process.

As the world evolves day by day with new technologies, there is a need to design a secure network in such a way that intruders and unauthorized persons should not have access to the network as well as information regarding the personnel in any firm. In this study, a new cryptographic technique for securing data transmission based on the LaplaceLaguerre polynomial (LLP) is developed and compared to an existing auto-associative neural network technique (AANNT).The performance of the LLPT and AANNT was tested with some selected files in a MATLAB environment and the results obtained provided comparative information (in respect of AANNT versus LLPT) as follows: encryption time (1.67 ms versus 3.9931s), decryption time (1.833 ms versus 2.1172s), throughput (26.2975 Kb/s versus 0.01098 Kb/s), memory consumption (3.349 KB versus 15.958 KB). From the compared results, it shows that AANNT offers a faster processing time, higher throughput, and takes up less memory space than the LLPT. However, cryptanalysis of the AANNT is possible if the network's weight and design are known; hence, the technique is unreliable for ensuring the data integrity and confidentiality of encrypted data. The proposed LLP cryptographic algorithm is designed to provide a higher security level by making the LLP algorithm computationally tedious to invert using the standard Laplace transform inversion method. When compared to the AANN-based cryptographic technique, cracking the algorithm to uncover the encryption key takes time. This shows the strength and robustness of the proposed LLP cryptographic algorithm against attacks, as well as its suitability for solving the problem of data privacy and security when compared to the AANN-based cryptographic algorithm.

Insects engage in a variety of survival-related activities, including feeding, mating, and communication, which are frequently motivated by innate impulses and environmental signals. Social insects, such as ants and bees, exhibit complex collective behaviors. They carry out well-organized duties, including defense, nursing, and foraging, inside their colonies. For analyzing the behavior of any living entity, we selected honeybees (Apis Mellifera) and worked on a small portion of it. We have captured the video of honeybees flying close to a hive (human-made artificial hive) while the entrance was temporarily sealed which resulted in the” bee cloud”. An exploration of the flight trajectories executed and a 3D view of the” bee cloud” constructed. We analyzed the behaviors of honeybees, especially on their speed and distance. The results showed that the loitering honeybees performed turns that are fully coordinated, and free of sideslips so thus they made no collision between themselves which inspired us to propose a method for avoiding collision in unmanned aerial vehicle. This paper gives the collective behavioral information and analysis report of the small portion of data set (honeybees), that bee maintains a safe distance (35mm) to avoid collision.

Brain tumors are among the deadliest forms of cancer, and there is a significant death rate in patients. Identifying and classifying brain tumors are critical steps in understanding their functioning. The best way to treat a brain tumor depends on its type, size, and location. In the modern era, Radiologists utilize Brain tumor locations that can be determined using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, manual tests and MRI examinations are time-consuming and require skills. In addition, misdiagnosis of tumors can lead to inappropriate medical therapy, which could reduce their chances of living. As technology advances in Deep Learning (DL), Computer Assisted Diagnosis (CAD) as well as Machine Learning (ML) technique has been developed to aid in the detection of brain tumors, radiologists can now more accurately identify brain tumors. This paper proposes an MRI image classification using a VGG16 model to make a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) architecture. The proposed model was evaluated with two sets of brain MRI data from Kaggle. Considering both datasets during the training at Google Colab, the proposed method achieved significant performance with a maximum overall accuracy of 96.67% and 97.67%, respectively. The proposed model was reported to have worked well during the training period and been highly accurate. The proposed model's performance criteria go beyond existing techniques.
