Trust based access control with hybrid cryptographic algorithm based data security on cloud for e-learning application
Authors: Dinesh E. , Sivakumar M. , Rajalakshmi R. , Sivakumar P.
Published: August 2023

Due to the COVID-19 virus, many educational institutions now encourage online learning. The National Program of Technology Enabled Learning (NPTEL) is a web portal that is used for e-learning applications. With this online course, students can access the lectures of all the respected experts from the best universities at any time and from any location. Due to privacy and security issues, many educational systems are hesitant to adopt the cloud. To avoid security issues, in this paper, a trust-based access control data hybrid cryptography model is proposed. The proposed system mainly focused on data confidentiality and the authentication process. For data security, the hybrid Attribute-Based Encryption and Elliptical Curve Cryptography (ABE-ECC) algorithm is presented. Besides, for authentication, trust-based access control is introduced. The trust of the user is calculated using three parameters: the number of successful/failed interactions, the service satisfaction index, and the level of dishonesty. The performance of the proposed method is analyzed based on different metrics, namely throughput, latency, successful rate, service utilization, encryption time, decryption time, and retrieval time.
Pool-based active learning framework for concept prerequisite learning
Authors: He Yu , Pan Yigong , Hu Xinying , Sun Guangzhong
Published: August 2023

Concept prerequisite relation refers to the learning order of concepts, which is useful in education. Concept prerequisite learning refers to using machine learning methods to infer prerequisite relation of a concept pair. The process of concept prerequisite learning requires large amounts of labeled data to train classifier. Usually, the labels of prerequisite relation are assigned by specialists. The specialist labelling method is costly. Thus, it is necessary to reduce labeling expense. An effective strategy is using active learning methods. In this paper, we propose a pool-based active learning framework for concept prerequisite learning named PACOL. It is a fact that concept u and concept v cannot be prerequisite of each other simultaneously. The idea of PACOL is to select the concept pair with the greatest deviation between the classifier’s prediction and the fact. Besides, PACOL can be used in two situations: when specialists assign three kinds of labels or two kinds of labels. In experiments, we constructed data sets for three subjects. Experimental results on both our constructed data sets and public data sets demonstrate that PACOL outperforms than existing active learning methods in all situations.
MADM framework based on 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic sets and its application to comprehensive evaluation of corporate cultural competitiveness
Authors: Sun Peixi , Cui Tong , Qi Shixin
Published: August 2023

Corporate culture is the sum of corporate values, systems, and behavioral norms formed in the long-term survival and development of an enterprise. It is the long-term accumulation of consensus among all employees in the enterprise. In the context of today’s global economic integration trend, the role of corporate culture construction in promoting enterprise development, improving business performance, and enhancing internal cohesion and external competitiveness is becoming increasingly significant. How to strengthen the construction of corporate culture and establish excellent corporate culture is increasingly receiving widespread attention from the academic and business communities. The comprehensive evaluation of corporate cultural competitiveness is regarded as multi-attribute decision-making (MADM). The 2TLNSs are employed as a useful tool for characterizing uncertain information during the comprehensive evaluation of corporate cultural competitiveness. In this paper, the dual Hamy mean (DHM) and the power average (PA) are connected with 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic sets (2TLNSs) to propose the 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic numbers power weighted DHM (2TLNPWDHM) operator. Then, use the 2TLNPWDHM operator to handle MADM with 2TLNS. Finally, taking the comprehensive evaluation of corporate cultural competitiveness as an example, the proposed method is explained. The main contributions of this study are summarized: the establishment of the 2TLNPWDHM operator; (2) The 2TLNPWDHM operator was developed to handle MADM with 2TLNS; (3) Through the empirical application of the comprehensive evaluation of corporate cultural competitiveness, the proposed method is validated; (4) Some comparative studies have shown the rationality of the 2TLNPWDHM operator.
ECAR: Energy efficient cluster based adaptive routing for large scale WSN
Authors: Sangeetha K. , Shanthini J. , Karthik S.
Published: August 2023

Wireless sensor networks consist of a large number of randomly distributed nodes in a given area. WSN nodes are battery-powered, so they lose all their energy after a certain period and this energy constraint affects the network lifetime. This study aims to maximize network lifetime while minimizing overall energy use. In this study, a novel Energy Efficient Cluster based Adaptive Routing (ECAR) approach has been proposed for large-scale WSNs. Initially, the Genetic Bee Colony algorithm (GBCA) is introduced, which provides an effective way for selecting cluster heads based on node degrees, node centralities, distances to neighbors, and residual energy. Consequently, the Quantum Inspired African Vulture Optimization algorithm (QIAVO) is utilized to find a routing path between the source and the destination over the cluster heads. To optimize the network performance, QIAVO considers multiple objectives, including residual energy, distance, and node degree. The proposed method is evaluated based on average packet delivery ratios, energy consumption, and average end-to-end delays. According to simulation results, the proposed protocol successfully balances the energy consumption of all sensor nodes and increases network lifespan.

Authors: Carey Guillaume , Viard Romain , Lopes Renaud , Kuchcinski Gregory , Defebvre Luc , Leentjens Albert F.G. , Dujardin Kathy
Published: August 2023

Background:

Anxiety in Parkinson’s disease (PD) has been associated with grey matter changes and functional changes in anxiety-related neuronal circuits. So far, no study has analyzed white matter (WM) changes in patients with PD and anxiety.

Objective:

The aim of this study was to identify WM changes by comparing PD patients with and without anxiety, using diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI).

Methods:

108 non-demented PD patients with ( n = 31) and without ( n = 77) anxiety as defined by their score on the Parkinson Anxiety Scale participated. DTI was used to determine the fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) in specific tracts within anxiety-related neuronal circuits. Mean FA and MD were compared between groups and correlated with the severity of anxiety adjusted by sex, center, Hoehn & Yahr stage, levodopa equivalent daily dosage, and Hamilton depression rating scale.

Results:

Compared to patients without anxiety, PD patients with anxiety showed lower FA within the striato-orbitofrontal, striato-cingulate, cingulate-limbic, and caudate-thalamic tracts; higher FA within the striato-limbic and accumbens-thalamic tracts; higher MD within the striato-thalamic tract and lower MD within the striato-limbic tract.

Conclusions:

Anxiety in PD is associated with microstructural alterations in anxiety-related neuronal circuits within the WM. This result reinforces the view that PD-related anxiety is linked to structural alteration within the anxiety-related brain circuits.

Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND: While expert consensus recommendations support the use of speech and language therapy (SLT) for patients with functional speech disorder (FND-speech), there are limited published data on clinical outcomes. OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively report the treatment outcomes and clinical characteristics of patients with FND-speech that attended outpatient SLT as part of a multidisciplinary program for functional neurological disorder (FND). METHODS: In this case series, we included adult patients with FND-speech that consecutively participated in outpatient SLT at our institution between October 2014 and September 2021. Baseline demographic and neuropsychiatric characteristics were extracted from the medical records, along with data on FND-speech phenotypes, number of treatment sessions received, and clinician-determined outcomes. Only descriptive statistics were used to report findings. RESULTS: Twenty patients met inclusion criteria; ages ranged from 21–77, with a mean of 51.6±16.2 years. 85% of the cohort presented with mixed FND-speech symptoms. Patients attended a range of 2–37 visits, with an average of 9.2±8.0 visits over 4.4±3.5 months. At the last treatment session, 3 patients were asymptomatic, 15 had improved, and 2 had not improved; 8 individuals that improved received video telehealth interventions. CONCLUSION: This case series lends additional support for outpatient SLT in the assessment and management of individuals with FND-speech, and may help clarify patient and provider treatment expectations. Additional prospective research is needed to investigate baseline predictors of treatment response and further define the optimal frequency, intensity, duration, and clinical setting for SLT delivery in this population.

Authors: Voskergian Daniel , Ishaq Isam
Published: August 2023

Electronic waste is presently acknowledged as the rapidly expanding waste stream on a global scale. Consequently, e-waste represents a primary global concern in modern society since electronic equipment contains hazardous substances, and if not managed properly, it will harm human health and the environment. Thus, the necessity for more innovative, safer, and greener systems to handle e-waste has never been more urgent. To address this issue, a smart e-waste management system based on the Internet of Things (IoT) and Deep Learning (DL) based object detection is designed and developed in this paper. Three state-of-the-art object detection models, namely YOLOv5s, YOLOv7-tiny and YOLOv8s, have been adopted in this study for e-waste object detection. The results demonstrate that YOLOv8s achieves the highest mAP@50 of 72% and map@50-95 of 52%. This innovative system offers the potential to manage e-waste more efficiently, supporting green city initiatives and promoting sustainability. By realizing an intelligent green city vision, we can tackle various contamination problems, benefiting both humans and the environment.

Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND: White spot lesions (WSLs) appear as white, opaque areas on the teeth and are caused by a demineralization of the enamel. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine whether casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) has beneficial effects on WSLs and provides remineralizing benefits that are superior to those of placebo or no treatment. METHODS: Following a thorough analysis of the literature across major online sources, 103 papers – 54 of which underwent in-depth evaluation – were found. We used inclusion and exclusion criteria to choose research articles that were appropriate for our review. RESULTS: 10 papers met this review’s requirements and were subsequently included. As compared to the controls, CPP-ACP demonstrated increased efficacy in treatment of WSLs in terms of remineralisation and other parameters which included microhardness tests and enamel surface roughness. The forest plots present the results of meta-analyses comparing the effect of CPP-ACP versus control/other agents on white spot lesions (WSLs). In terms of odds ratios (OR), CPP-ACP showed a small increase in the odds of WSLs compared to control/other agents. In-vitro studies showed no significant difference in relative risk (RR) between CPP-ACP and control/other agents. Randomized control trials indicated a small increase in the risk of WSLs with CPP-ACP treatment, but the overall effect was not statistically significant. CONCLUSION: There was evidence to support the use of CPP-ACP over other agents for WSL prevention or treatment, but further research is needed to confirm these findings.
Microinsurance: Bibliography of Unclassified Literature
Authors: Badur Raja Mannar
Published: August 2023

The benefits of financial services for the poor are now universally acknowledged, and the practice of microcredit is becoming common in developing countries. In comparison, microinsurance – insurance for the poor – which has the potential to significantly aid millions of poor people, has received limited attention.

Microfinance is itself one of the most important, remarkable phenomena in developing the socio-economic environment of the poor. Because of their poor socioeconomic background, most financial institutions thought the poor were not bankable. Microfinance has proved that these poor can be made creditworthy if they are organized in small groups. Microinsurance is the term used to refer to insurance for low-income people, as it is different from general insurance, where microinsurance is a low-value product with less premium and benefits.

This article provides a collection of bibliography of unclassified literature on the various aspects of microinsurance.

Conduta e Resultados no Tratamento do Câncer da Bexiga
Authors: Vianna João B.
Published: August 2023

O presente trabalho está dividido em duas partes; na primeira o A. apresenta sua conduta terapêutica atual no câncer da bexiga, baseada num total de 105 casos por ele operados. É atribuída capital importância à classificação T.N.M. da União Internacional Contra o Câncer, não só para indicação do tratamento como para o prognóstico. Na segunda parte são apresentados os resultados tardios dos seus primeiros 67 casos, operados durante o período de outubro de 1947 à janeiro de 1962. Nestes primeiros 67 casos nem sempre foi seguida a conduta terapêutica que o autor atualmente preconiza. O câncer de localização vesical é ainda um dos de mais difícil tratamento e de pior prognóstico. Não existe um tratamento estandardizado aceito pela maioria. Alguns preferem a cirurgia, outros as irradiações, havendo ainda aquêles que associam estes dois métodos de tratamento. A quimioterapia, se bem que promissora, acha-se ainda em fase quase experimental. O presente trabalho está dividido em duas partes. Na primeira apresentamos a nossa atual conduta de tratamento do câncer da bexiga, baseada no estudo de 105 casos histológicamente confirmados, operados por nós no Instituto Nacional de Câncer e na clínica particular, durante o período de l.° de outubro de 1947 a 31 de janeiro de 1967. Teve acentuada influência nessa nossa atual conduta terapêutica, a classificação que agora adotamos para o câncer da bexiga, preconizada pela União Internacional Contra o Câncer e denominada classificação T.N.M. A segunda parte do trabalho relaciona-se ao resultado tardio, obtido no tratamento dos nossos primeiros 67 pacientes, atendidos no período de l.° de outubro de 1947 a 31 de janeiro de 1962 e, portanto, um grupo que já teve possibilidade de apresentar uma cura de 5 anos. A conduta de tratamento seguida nestes primeiros 67 casos não foi rigorosamente aquela apresentada ou indicada na primeira parte do trabalho e que é a que atualmente seguimos. Isto deve-se ao fato de termos modificado nossa conduta com a experiência que adquirimos em face dos bons e dos maus resultados e de só têrmos tomado conhecimento da classificação T.N.M. em 1957 (3). Os nossos casos anteriores a essa data foram então reclassificados de acordo com a mesma, baseando-nos em dados dos exames pré-operatórios e nos achados pré-operatórios por nós anteriormente descritos nas respectivas fichas de observação.
Histotopografia do Carcinoma Epidermóide do Colo Uterino
Authors: Castro Onofre de
Published: August 2023

O autor, usando cortes sagitais totais do colo uterino, fêz estudo histotopográfico de 71 carcinomas epidermóides cervicais incipientes (50 carcinomas “in situ” e 21 carcinomas invasores). Ao estudá-los em função do orifício externo, verificou que 35,21% era de lesões endocervicais exclusivas; em 18,20% as lesões eram apenas ectocervicais; os restantes 46,47% eram simultaneamente, endo & ectocervicais. Quanto à idade, observou que as pacientes com lesões endocervicais exclusivas eram mais idosas (diferença de 8,87 anos) do que as portadoras de lesões apenas ectocervicais. Sugere todos os programas de rastreamento do câncer cervical devam incluir colheita de material endocervical para diminuir a taxa de falsos negativos; a colheita endocervical é ainda mais importante nas pacientes mais idosas.

Ficou experimentalmente comprovado que os fosfolipideos retardam e o colesterol e seus derivados aceleram a formação de tumores induzidos por hidrocarbonetos cancerígenos. Acentua-se a suma importância deste fenômeno, pois trata-se de dois grupos de lipídeos comuns, aliás componentes naturais de qualquer célula animal, capazes de influenciar, positivamente, o mecanismo da carcinogênese. O fato de que os fosfolipideos e o colesterol, ao lado das proteínas, constituem quantitativamente os componentes principais da membrana celular, conduziu ao raciocínio lógico que as membranas devem representar uma posição chave na etiologia do câncer.

- Increasing the Independence of Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) Entrepreneurs in Seedlings Preparation
Authors: Hasanah Yaya
Published: August 2023

Sadam Mushroom House is one of the mushroom producers in Medan Marelan with oyster mushroom production of 7-12 kg/day and can accommodate 7,000 baglogs. The problem of the oyster mushroom business is still very dependent on mushroom nurseries in an effort to provide F2 seedlings because there are still very limited facilities, infrastructure, understanding and skills in providing F0 - F2 seeds. Another problem is that the baglogs waste produced (2,000-3,000 baglogs every 3 months) has not been used properly so that it has the potential to pollute the environment. The purpose of this community service is to increase the independence of partners in providing oyster mushroom seeds, making compost from baglog waste and its use in plant cultivation. The solutions offered in solving these problems are the introduction of appropriate technology in the supply of F0-F2 mushroom seeds, the introduction of technology transfer goods, the management of baglog waste into compost and the use of compost from baglog waste as organic fertilizer for plant cultivation. The results of the community service that have been achieved are the introduction of technology transfer goods in the form of an autoclave, simple laminar air flow and tools for providing F0-F2 seedlings, training and assistance in providing F0-F2 mushroom seedling, training and assistance in making compost from baglog mushroom waste, direct practice of using mushroom compost for cultivating mung bean crop.

Останнім часом науковці спрямували свої дослідження на вивчення проблеми співвідношення загальної, приватної та локальної конституції організму людини, що дає можливість прогнозувати специфічність реактивних процесів, які проходять у будь-якому органі чи системі органів чи у цілісному організмі. Така зацікавленість до вивчення конституційних особливостей людського організму зумовлена проявом різної реактивності цілісного організму на однаковий вплив факторів ендогенного та екзогенного походження за силою та тривалістю дії. Взаємозв’язок стану здоров’я з конституційними характеристиками організму є головним складником конституціології. Мета дослідження – дослідити особливості центральної гемодинаміки організму юнаків різних соматотипів. Для досягнення мети ми використовували такі методи: антропологічні (визначення типів статури), про стан серцево-судинної системи за такими показниками, як частота серцевих скорочень, артеріальний тиск систолічний та діастолічний, пульсовий тиск, систолічний об’єм крові, хвилинний об’єм крові, методи статистичної обробки. Дослідження проведено на групі волонтерів загальною кількістю 320 осіб віком 18–20 років чоловічої статі. Всі учасники дослідження були розподілені на три підгрупи відповідно до особливостей статури. За антропометричними показниками студенти були розподілені на три групи згідно з типом статури: дигестивний – 108 осіб, м’язовий – 86 осіб, астено-торакальний – 106 осіб. Таким чином, максимальні показники пульсу характерні для представників астено-торакального типу статури, але при цьому для них характерні середні значення показників артеріального тиску, пульсового тиску, СОК та ХОК. Для представників дигестивного типу характерне середнє значення показників пульсу та максимальні показники артеріального тиску, пульсового тиску, СОК та ХОК. М’язовий тип статури характеризується самими низькими показниками пульсу, артеріального тиску, СОК та ХОК порівняно з дигестивним та астено-торакальним типами статури.

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is one of the most common causes of chronic pain and disability. In addition, many studies have shown that laser acupuncture (LA) has a great analgesic effect and minimal side effects. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LA combined with knee exercises (KE) in patients with KOA.

A pilot randomized controlled trial was conducted on 60 patients with KOA at Le Van Thinh Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City from May 2021 to September 2022. Patients were randomly allocated to LA group (n = 30) with KE combined LA or the therapeutic ultrasound (TU) group (n = 30) with KE combined with TU in 4 weeks. The outcome measurements were visual analog scale (VAS) scores and knee range of motion (ROM). The data were collected at 5 time points: T0 (baseline) and after every week of treatment.

After a 4-week treatment, the VAS score of patients in LA groups decreased from 6(5-6) to 3 cm (2-4) (p < 0.01) but was not significantly different when compared to patients in TU groups. In contrast, there is an improvement in the ROM score of patients, from 132.5 (130 – 140) to 140 (140 – 140) with the KOA, and has significantly different when compared to patients in TU groups (p < 0.05).

LA combined with KE exhibited equivalent analgesic effects and increased knee ROM in patients KOA after 2, 3, and 4-week treatment.
HIGH PERFORMANCE THROUGH WALL HUMAN ACTIVITY RECOGNITION USING WIFI
Authors: Yan Chiew Wong , Abuhoureyah Fahd , Sadhiqin Mohd Isira Ahmad , Huang Chuah Joon
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT: Passive human activity recognition without requiring a device is crucial in various fields, including smart homes, health care, and identification. However, current systems for human activity recognition require a dedicated device, or they need to be more suitable for scenarios where signals are transmitted through walls. To address this challenge, we propose a system for device-free, passive recognition of human activity that utilizes CSI-based Wi-Fi signals and does not require any dedicated devices. The proposed approach uses two techniques to distinguish different human activities. First, we introduce an opposite robust method to eliminate the influence of the background environment on correlation extraction and to obtain the correlation between human activity and its resulting changes in channel state information values. Second, we propose a normalized variance sliding windows algorithm to segment the time of human action from the waveforms, which can differentiate human actions' start and end times. We also implemented a model CSI based using Nexmon with an LSTM algorithm with commodity Wi-Fi devices and evaluated it in several environments. Our experimental results demonstrate that we achieve an average accuracy of 95% when signals pass through concrete walls.

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented a multitude of challenges pertaining to medical treatments and patient care, creating a pressing need for innovative solutions. Constrained outdoor activities have hindered patients' ability to access essential healthcare, while healthcare professionals encounter difficulties in remotely monitoring and administering treatments. This study aims to address these pressing issues by proposing an Internet of Things (IoT)-based exoskeleton system designed for the monitoring of knee rehabilitation therapy. Through the utilization of the IoT platform ThingSpeak, this developed system enables patients to remotely monitor the status of their knee recovery from the comfort of their homes. The collected data is securely stored and made accessible to healthcare professionals, facilitating remote analysis and the formulation of treatment recommendations. This pioneering solution amalgamates advancements in exoskeleton technology with seamless IoT integration, establishing a dependable and easily accessible framework for the monitoring of knee rehabilitation. By empowering patients to actively participate in their own recovery process and enabling remote monitoring by healthcare providers, this system effectively surmounts the limitations imposed by the pandemic and financial constraints. The proposed IoT-based exoskeleton system possesses the potential to revolutionize knee rehabilitation therapy, thereby enhancing patient engagement, optimizing treatment outcomes, and circumventing traditional healthcare barriers.

Long Journey to Freedom: An Interpretation of Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard from the Perspective of Existentialism
Authors: Zeng Yuanying
Published: August 2023

Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard is the debut work of the 2006 Man Booker Prize winner Kiran Desai. There are many discussions on the novel from the perspective of ecocriticism, but existentialism in the work has received less attention. This article intends to start with Sartre’s existentialism, expounding how the protagonist Sampath lives in an absurd world, gets rid of the control of others and seeks the freedom he desires in his heart. This paper believes that by shaping Sampath’s image of pursuing freedom, Kiran Desai embodies his exposure to the absurd society of India and her yearning for spiritual freedom.

Hamka's political thoughts and behavior are based on his view of the interrelationship between religion and the state. Hamka has no objection to the statement that 'Islam is a religion and the state states, the correct formulation is Islam is a religion. his belief above that the ideals of monotheism cannot be implemented if it is not accompanied by strength. And Muslims should be proud, because since the beginning of its establishment, this Islamic religion has not only been an example of how to carry out the prayers it teaches, but also how to establish a state and maintain politics, and this has been blatantly demonstrated, Hamka wrote. It was explained that Muhammad SAW was present in the Arabian Peninsula with the teachings of monotheism and had united the tribes there so that later they would become a strong country and a respected nation

Inheritance is sometimes a problem that is not easy. Even though the division is actually very easy because the terms are clear. Many people then do the distribution of inheritance before death because they are worried that if the distribution of inheritance after death, the heirs will be in disagreement, and it is not uncommon to result in the breaking of friendship ties between them. Researchers want to analyze related to the theory of hiyal or hilah which is used in hilah syar'iyyah to divide inheritance before death. This study uses a qualitative method approach, with the primary source being books about hilah, while the secondary sources are books and books that help to analyze the problems in this research. In fact, the implementation of inheritance distribution is also related to the practice of hilah. In several areas in South Kalimantan, for example, it was found that some wealthy people distributed inheritance when they were still alive, known as living inheritance. There are several legal views regarding hilah in dividing inheritance before death

Linear programming can be an alternative in solving problems in the construction sector. In construction work there is a workforce, but the allocation of the number of workers used requires good planning. If the allocation of the number of the worker is optimal, then the costs incurred for labor wages are also more efficient. For this reason, this study aims to optimize wages and the number of workers in construction projects. In performing optimization, the method used is simplex analysis. The simplex method is a linier program that can be used more than 3 variables, to solve the problem by iterating or recalculation until it reaches the optimal solution. The results of this are a decrease in the cost of labor wages, for concrete work there is a decrease in the cost of labor wages by 8,60%, and ceiling work there is a decrease in the cost of labor wages by 58,59%.
