Authors: - Saidah , Rohmah Afidatur
Published: November 2022

Humans should not love themselves too much, so that eventually they only care about themselves and tend to underestimate others. If such symptoms appear in the individual then he has a strong nature of narcissism. Having a strong narcissistic nature can trigger the emergence of a narcissistic personality which is included in personality disorders. The purpose of this study was to find verses related to narcissism and its implications for narcissistic personality disorder from the perspective of the Koran. This research includes library research which was carried out by searching for and collecting data according to the theme using primary data sources in the form of the Qur'an, and secondary data sources in the form of books, theses and journal articles related to narcissism. The method used is contextual maudū’i and the research results was presented in an analytical descriptive manner. The results of the research from this thesis are: (1) The meaning of narcissism in the Qur'an has at least two meanings: narcissism which is classified as a major sin and narcissism which is classified as a minor sin. (2) The implications of narcissism in the Koran for Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) events are more directed to the second understanding, namely minor sins, which in this case are represented by the terms arrogance and terrn which have meaning, namely: fakhr, ḥasad, riyā', 'ujub, and 'utuw.

How reproducible and reliable is geophysical research? A review of the availability and accessibility of data and software for research published in journals
Authors: Ireland Mark , Algarabel Guillermo , Steventon Michael , Munafo Marcus
Published: November 2022

Geophysical research frequently makes use of agreed methodologies, formally published software, and bespoke code to process and analyse data. The reliability and repeatability of these methods is vital in maintaining the integrity of research findings and thereby avoiding the dissemination of unreliable results. In recent years there has been increased attention on aspects of reproducibility, which includes data availability, across scientific disciplines. This review considers aspects of reproducibility of geophysical studies relating to their publication in peer reviewed journals. For 100 geophysics journals it considers the extent to which reproducibility in geophysics is the focus of published literature. For 20 geophysical journals it considers a) journal policies on the requirements for providing code, software, and data for submission and, b) the availability of data and software associated for 200 published journal articles. The findings show that: 1) between 1991 and 2021 there were 72 articles with reproducibility in the title and 417 with reliability, with an overall increase in the number of articles with reproducibility or reliability as the subject over the same period; 2) while 60% of journals have a definition of research data, only 20% of journals have a requirement for a data availability statement, and 3) despite ~86% of randomly sampled journal articles including a data availability statement, only 54% of articles have the original data accessible via data repositories or web servers, and only 49% of articles name software used. It is suggested that despite journals and authors working towards improving the availability of data and software, frequently they are not identified, or easily accessible, therefore limiting the possibility of reproducing studies.
Trypophobia, skin disease, and the visual discomfort of natural textures
Authors: DiMattina Chris , Pipitone R. Nathan , Renteria Martin R. , Ryan Kriston J.
Published: November 2022

In the last decade, the behavioral sciences have described the phenomenon of trypophobia, which is the discomfort felt by some individuals when viewing images containing clusters of bumps or holes. One evolutionary hypothesis for this phenomenon is that this visual discomfort represents an adaptation which helps organisms avoid skin disease and/or ectoparasites. Even though trypophobic imagery and disease imagery are both examples of visual textures, to date there has been no comparison of the visual discomfort elicited by these two kinds of textures within the larger context of the visual comfort elicited by natural texture imagery. In the present study, we administered the Trypophobia Questionnaire (TQ) and recorded the visual comfort ratings elicited by a large set of standard natural texture images, including several trypophobic and skin disease images. We found that while all observers find skin diseases uncomfortable to view, only those scoring high on the TQ rated trypophobic imagery equally uncomfortable. Comparing the ratings of both high-TQ and low-TQ populations to the standard textures, we find remarkably consistent rank-order preferences, with both populations preferring textures which are darker, less dense, and more regular, and disliking textures which are brighter, more complex, and more irregular, with the most unpleasant textures (as rated by both groups) exhibiting qualitative similarities to trypophobic imagery. However, we find that low-level image statistics which have been previously shown to affect visual comfort are poor predictors of the visual comfort elicited by natural textures, and greatly under-predict the visual discomfort elicited by either trypophobic or disease imagery. Our results suggest that a full understanding of the visual comfort elicited by natural textures, including those arising from skin disease, will ultimately depend upon a better understanding of cortical areas specialized for the perception of surface and material properties, and how these visual regions interact with emotional brain areas to evoke appropriate behavioral responses, like disgust.
Distinguishing differences in construct from differences in response style: gsem models for Item-Response Theory Models with Anchoring Vignettes
Authors: Pickles Andrew
Published: November 2022

Item response theory (IRT) models allow estimation of participant and group mean trait scores from responses to a set of items, but estimates can be biased when participants vary in their response style. We illustrate models estimated in gsem that can account for suchresponse style differences by comparing self-report with their ratings of anchoring vignettes - descriptions of other individuals displaying different levels of the trait. Simulation results from standard IRT, mean bias, random bias and free-threshold models are illustrated. We show that unbiased estimates can be recovered where the vignettes rated depend on the participants own self-rating or even rated

Introduction: The increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity has been alarming. One approach to address this issue is to implement health promotion programmes. Despite the many health promotion and health intervention programmes held, there is a lack of evidence showing the application of theories and models. This scoping review aimed to explore existing literature and synthesise findings based on models and theories used to support health promotion programmes for overweight and obese adults. Methods: This review was guided by the Arksey and O’Malley framework. Online databases, such as Ovid, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, were used to search for relevant articles using suitable keywords, from January 2015 until December 2021. Articles were written in English and Malay, and the study subjects were adults aged 18-59 years old. Two reviewers independently screened the articles, and the extracted information were tabulated after analysis. Results: A total of 13 different theories and models were found in the 27 articles selected. Many studies reported using the Transtheoretical Model, Social Cognitive Theory, and Health Belief Model in health promotion programmes for overweight and obese adults. Most constructs and components focused on changing health-related behaviours starting with the individual, such as self-efficacy and readiness to change. Majority of the articles showed an improvement in health-related behaviours and had great potential for future studies. Conclusion: When conducting health promotion programmes for overweight and obese adults, researchers should consider models and theories with constructs and components to ensure consistent improvement and potentially significant impacts on health-related outcomes.
International Engagement or Local Commitment? Investigating the Publication Practices of Chinese Returnee Scholars in the Humanities and Social Sciences
Authors: Miao Weishan , Ai Bin , Liao Xinyu
Published: November 2022

A growing number of PhD scholars graduated from Western universities are returning to China, and this raises a range of research topics for scholars. Previous studies of these returnee scholars have mainly focused on the challenges of publishing in English but have ignored their difficulties in choosing between international and/or local academic communities. Academic publishing is regarded as a social practice in this study. Based on the data collected from 102 Chinese returnee scholars in the humanities and social sciences and drawing on the concept of discourse community, it is found that these volunteers’ publication practices are shaped by the culturally specific academic norms established in particular academic communities. This study highlights the differences between international and local discourse communities and identifies factors influencing Chinese returnee scholars’ publication practices. The ways in which they seek to exercise agency and strategies for publishing in the international and local academic communities are considered. The complexity of these returnee scholars’ publication practices is revealed through their lived experiences, adding depth and detail to current research into returnee scholars across the globe.

Introduction Under the current conditions of national economic development, there are significant changes in the importance of recreational services as a budget-generating industry and a means of counteracting negative social and demographic trends in the rural system. It should be noted that these processes occur in parallel with the adapta-tion of domestic industries to the standards of the post-industrial model of management, which is characterized by a shift in emphasis on the importance of basic factors of production. These circumstances are of particular importance in the tourism business, as the key to the competitiveness of business entities in this area is to operate in a constantly updated information base. The purpose of this article is to analyze the features of socio-psychological support of tourism as an integral part of the provision of recreational services, taking into account the specifics of the institu-tional nature of the modern economy. Results. The results of the study prove the importance of studying the institu-tional nature of the tourism industry as an important component of recreational services. Based on this point of view, the authors analyzed the specifics of creating and selling a tourism product. Particular attention is paid to the study of the combination of elements of the institutional environment in this area of business. Emphasis is placed on the need to avoid conflicts and contradictions that may arise as a result of the effect of culture shock. Conclusions. The article analyzes the social and psychological aspects of tourism business development as an important component of the national economy. The modern peculiarities of the functioning of the sphere of recreational services are high-lighted. The foreign experience of tourism business entities is analyzed. The necessity of studying the institutional nature of the functioning of the sphere of recreational services is proved. The peculiarities of using the resource po-tential of tourism business entities from the standpoint of factor-rotation concept of economic development are stud-ied. Emphasis is placed on the special significance of the human factor. The specifics of the nature of the professional competence component in relation to the typical representatives of tourism business specialists are analyzed, the importance of having a mandatory list of professional skills, psycholog-ical skills and competencies that are not directly related to the tourism business, but in the field of "general erudi-tion". The peculiarities of providing recreational services due to the institutional nature of this industry are high-lighted.

The article examines what enterprise management is, as well as methods of increasing the efficiency of enterprise activity. An approach to management fficiency is outlined, on the basis of which proposals for evaluating manage-ment efficiency have been developed. It was determined that the management of the enterprise should be sufficiently flexible and operational. In these economic conditions, companies need to take into account all aspects of the organization's activities - the company's business sphere, internal business processes, business partners, customers, shareholders, potential investors, etc., in order to conduct business effectively. Conclusions were made that in modern economic conditions managers of agricultural enterprises do not fully use the assets of modern achievements in the field of management, namely: they do not fully improve the structures of the management apparatus and organizational structure, and irrational use of resources is also observed, which leads to inhibition of innovative processes in the management of agricultural enterprises. It has been proven that the effectiveness of management is the effectiveness of the system and the management pro-cess as an interaction of control and managed systems, which guarantees the achievement of the company's goals; which is determined by the ratio of the effect of making various investments in the enterprise management system with the amount of costs necessary for their implementation. Agricultural management is a special type of management and can be defined as the organization and coordination of production in agrarian and other agricultural enterpris-es with the aim of achieving long-term increase in profits and achieving other specific goals for each business owner or manager.
PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS OF DEVELOPMENT STATISTICS IN UKRAINE
Authors: Slyvinska Oksana ,   SS NULES of Ukraine ",   Berezhany Agrotechnical Institute"
Published: November 2022

Statistical information is one of the fundamental information resources of society. Only presented in the form of quantitative statistical indicators, mass phenomena of socio-economic life become precisely defined, that is, statistically expressed. This makes it possible to learn real information about their qualitative content in specific conditions of place and time. In the modern period, the effectiveness of state management depends on the quality and quantity of information that characterizes the state and development of the country's economy and related social processes. It is statistical data that provide a clear and objective picture of the state of the economy and the social sphere, satisfy the needs of the management system and other socio-economic subjects for quality, complete, diverse and timely information, ultimately determine the place and role of the state in international economic relations. Permanent economic reforms in Ukraine, which acutely affect the interests of all people, draw attention precisely to statistics, since one of its main tasks is the optimization of reporting, reducing the volume of information to the modern needs of the management system. Statistics are the basis for making important decisions at various levels of the country's economic system. Currently, ensuring the reliability and validity of statistical information is possible by increasing the scientific level of statistical methodology, bringing it closer to the methodology and standards of world statistical practice, improving the system of indicators, methods and methods of collecting, processing, storing and analyzing statistical information. The strategy for the development of the state statistics of Ukraine stipulates the need to continue reforms in the statistical system, improve the quality of assessment of the development of the economy and the social sphere, fully satisfy the information needs of society, and implement European integration development. Reforming the system of state statistics in accordance with EU regulations and international standards is an extremely important and urgent task. As practice shows, the development of national statistics is characterized by its radical restructuring. Ukraine is gradually introducing European standards of living, striving to improve information processing as much as possible, introducing modern statistical methods of analysis, creating automated data banks in order to achieve the set goal and take a leading position in the world.

The article considers the methodological provisions for assessing the socio and behavioral activities of family forms of agricultural production and the features of their social responsibility in the production process in the surrounding economic environment. It is substantiated that the trajectory of economic stability of family forms of agricultural production with social consciousness of development is a process of non-permanent action, and a consistent and purposeful project with a certain economic result, limited in time and resources. Guidelines and standardized norms of the continuum "socio and behavioral mobility – economic stability" of family forms of agricultural production with interpreted signs of intensification of economic development on the scale of well-being are determined. It is proved that the economic component in the social and behavioral activities of family forms of agricultural produc-tion provides a trajectory of stable development in the agro-food market. It is determined that the distribution of eco-nomic development projects in the socio and behavioral activities of family forms of agricultural production allows to specify their goals, increase the accuracy of plans and forecasts. Social trust becomes a certain basis for under-standing social relations and responsibility for the production process of family forms of agricultural production. The specific features of the influence of the economic environment on social and behavioral activities and the trajec-tory of economic stability of family forms of agricultural production are substantiated. The components of the inte-gration process of economic development and stable social behavior of members of the family form of agricultural production are determined, taking into account the peculiarities of their business partnership in the agro-food mar-ket. Quantitative and qualitative signs of measuring the level of social and behavioral mobility of family forms of agricultural production in the period of interruption of economic development have been established.
Management Of Therapy of Anticoagulants and Antiplatelets in Acute Gastrointestinal Bleeding and In the Periendoscopic Period
Authors:   Auctores Publishing LLC, Tsonev N. , Vandeva D. , Toncheva K. , Zvezdov D.
Published: November 2022

Management of anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy is a common clinical problem in case of urgent or elective gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures. Anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents are widely used drugs for cardiovascular prevention and reducing the risk of thromboembolic events. Gastrointestinal bleeding represents a serious complication of their use. It’s recommended temporary interruption of anticoagulants in clinically significant gastrointestinal bleeding. For the antiplatelet therapy the decision is when to stop and restart the therapy, depending on whether it’s for primary or secondary cardiovascular prevention. Treatment with antithrombotic drugs in the periprocedural endoscopic period is based on balancing the bleeding risk against the thromboembolic risk. It’s recommended temporary discontinuation of antithrombotic treatment in high-risk endoscopic procedures with high risk for bleeding and to consider the use of “bridging” therapy with LWMH for patients on vitamin K antagonists who are at high thrombotic risk. Antithrombotic agents in endoscopic procedures with lower bleeding risk are not needed to be withheld. Evaluating cardiovascular risk and management of antithrombotic therapy could be a challenge for gastrointestinal endoscopists, therefore collaboration with a cardiologist is of great importance, at least for some patients.

Published: November 2022

L’objectif principal de ce travail est d’évaluer l’activité antiparasitaire des graines de Moringa oleifera dans le traitement des eaux usées. Au cours de cette étude, des analyses parasitologiques ont été effectuées sur trois types d’eau : des eaux usées brutes(EB), des eaux usées épurées (EE), et des eaux usées traitées par les graines de M. oleifera. Les résultats obtenus ont montré que les EB sont fortement polluées avec des taux élevés de parasites (Entamoeba histolytica, Entamoeba coli, Giardia lamblia, Ascaris sp, Strongyloides sp, Trichuris spp et Ankylostoma sp). Les EE révèlent une diminution appréciable des helminthes 9 œufs/L. Cependant, ces valeurs restent supérieures aux normes algériennes et à celles de l’OMS. Les résultats obtenus des eaux usées traitées par les M. oleifera ont révélé une absence totale de parasites. Le taux d’abattement du nombre de kystes de protozoaires et œufs d’helminthes pour les EE était de 85,86 % et 58,02 % respectivement. Tandis que pour les eaux traitées par M. oliefera, le taux était de 100 % et 100 % respectivement.

Published: November 2022

This collection of short essays presents and examines six vignettes of organisational change in British, New Zealand and European universities. Drawing on the social studies of economisation literature, formal research projects and auto-ethnographic insights, the authors detail profound changes in how knowledge is produced in universities. They examine policy documents, calculative techniques and management practices to illustrate how proliferating market rationalities, technologies and relations are reimagining university missions, reframing their practices and refashioning their subjects. Their vignettes demonstrate that market-making pressures are emerging from micro-scale socio-technical arrangements as well as altered funding models and external policy imperatives. They reveal the extent and detail of market-making pressures on academic practice in research and teaching. Finding ways to contest these pressures is imperative.

The review covers the proceedings of the 1st Congress of Russian Association of Researchers of the Himalaya and Tibet held in November 2021 in Saint-Petersburg. The Association was founded on 5 March 2019 and aims to bring together the research work of experts engaged in the study of nature and culture of the Himalayan region and the Tibetan Plateau. The Congress hosted the interdisciplinary academic conference “Russian Studies on the Himalaya and Tibet — 2021: Nature and Culture”. The total number of its participants and guests exceeded 60 academics representing research centers and educational institutions of different cities of Russia (i.e. Saint-Petersburg, Moscow, Krasnodar, Saratov, Elista, Orenburg, Arkhangelsk, Magadan), as well as of Belorussia, Uzbekistan and India. Sessions of the conference took place at the headquarters of the Russian Geographical Society, in the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and in the Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography (the Kunstkamera). More than 30 live and online talks presented at the Conference addressed a wide range of issues relating to both the humanities (art history, religious studies, history of philosophy, ethnography, linguistics) and natural sciences (botany, zoology, genetics, physical geography, geomorphology, glaciology). Several presentations dealt with certain little-known facts from the history of Russian Indology, Buddhology and Tibetology. Most natural science papers were dedicated to Himalayan and Tibetan flora and fauna. Some talks were of a pronounced interdisciplinary nature. After the conference a special meeting was held to discuss directions of the Association’s future activity.
Futuristic scope of weed suppressing butterflies in coastal agricultural ecosystem
Authors: KATHIRVELU C. , GOPIANAND L. , SURESHKUMAR S. M. , BARADHAN G.
Published: November 2022

Butterflies are among the most attractive and colourful organisms on the planet, with a high aesthetic value. These are bio-indicators of the environment and ecosystem. The adults of butterflies are pollinating many plant species and their young ones (larva) feed on crop plants and weeds. The presence of weed-eating butterflies in agro-ecosystems has made a significant contribution to natural weed suppression thereby reducing the consumption of herbicides. In this context, an attempt was made to survey for butterflies in the coastal agro-ecosystem of selected localities in Cuddalore district, Tamil Nadu during winter season 2021-22. Butterflies survey was done twice a month in the study area and the larval weed host plants were also documented. The results of the study showed that a total of 188 weed suppressing butterflies which comprised six species and five genera were observed from the study area under the families Pieridae, Nymphalidae, Lycaenidae and Hesperiidae of the Order Lepidoptera. Among the species of weed suppressing butterflies, Hypolimnas misippus was found maximum in the survey followed by H. bolina of Nymphalidae family. The important weed hosts found in the study area were Cleome viscosa, Portulaca oleracea, Abutilon indicum, Corchorus depressus, Achyranthes aspera and Amaranthus viridis. The diversity of weed suppressing butterflies in the study area of coastal district offers a possible exploitation and scope in weed management in agro-ecosystems naturally.

Published: November 2022

Scientific posters are a frequently used medium of communication at conferences and have grown in popularity over the last decades. However, the design of the traditional poster has largely remained stagnant despite emergence of new relevant research that could have unique implications for how scientific posters are designed for optimal learning. In this study, we examine the impact of a new minimalist, 'billboard-style' poster designed to transmit at least one piece of knowledge more efficiently. Attitudinal reactions to new and traditional poster designs were compared in two field studies. We found the billboard-style poster was perceived as easier to learn from, more interactive, and better for promoting scientific discovery. This supports the billboard-style poster design for use in scientific poster sessions. Results also suggested that future improvements to billboard-style designs should aim to efficiently communicate study methods in addition to key findings. Ultimately, these two field studies provide some initial evidence that meaningful improvements in poster effectiveness are possible, and that billboard-style layouts may be a step in the right direction that is worth developing further.
A Comprehensive Analysis Of Normalization Approaches For Privacy Protection In Data Mining
Authors: Surendra Kumar Reddy Koduru
Published: November 2022

Data Mining is a fundamental method of extracting large volumes of data sets by unfamiliar patterns. These extracted data can be shared between enterprises to improve their corporate benefits. For the data mining process, sharing such confidential data is very important. It is very important to safeguard such information against unwanted exposure that leads to privacy leakage. In recent days, privacy in various data mining applications has become very important. In order to overcome such problem privacy, data mining techniques are preserved. It provides accurate data mining results without scarifying the original data values and ensures both accuracy and privacy. Data protection is achieved through the analysis of the data using normalization techniques in this proposed work. The approach proposed in comparison the effects of min-max, decimal scaling, and Z-Score normalization techniques. Experimental effects confirmed that the Min-max Standardization technology archived the most precision with minimum data loss.
Comparison of Full-Text Indexing with Metadata Indexing Based Subject Classification Using Graph-Based Index
Authors: Soumya George
Published: November 2022

Subject classification is an indispensable part of all academic search engines to facilitate faster search and retrieval of scholarly articles based on search queries. The widely used approach uses the metadata of journal papers like title, abstract, paper keywords, etc., to classify articles. This paper compares full text-based subject classification with metadata-based subject classification using a graph-based indexing approach. Comparing both methods is an extension of my previous work, GASE, a Graph-based Academic Search Engine based on the subject classification of research articles using an efficient full-text indexing approach. The results show that full-text indexing-based subject classification yields high accuracy than metadata-based classification. Also compared the space complexity and time complexity of both indexing methods. Full-text indexing will have higher space complexity, as it requires storing the entire contents. But subject labeling takes up a generalized time complexity of ? (n2 log(n) 2) for both full-text and metadata indexing by considering only the higher-order term and ignoring other constant values.
An Enhanced Energy Efficient Routing Protocol over Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: Rajshekhar S A  , Arun Biradar
Published: November 2022

Cluster-based hierarchical routing protocols play an essential role in decreasing the energy consumption of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). A low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) has been proposed as an application-specific protocol architecture for WSNs. However, without considering the distribution of the cluster heads (CHs) in the rotation basis, the LEACH protocol will increase the energy consumption of the network. To improve the energy efficiency of the WSN, we propose a novel modified routing protocol in this paper. The newly proposed improved energy-efficient LEACH (IEE-LEACH) protocol considers the residual node energy and the average energy of the networks. To achieve satisfactory performance in terms of reducing the sensor energy consumption, the proposed IEE-LEACH accounts for the numbers of the optimal CHs and prohibits the nodes that are closer to the base station (BS) to join in the cluster formation. Furthermore, the proposed IEE-LEACH uses a new threshold for electing CHs among the sensor nodes, and employs single hop, multi-hop, and hybrid communications to further enhance the energy efficiency of the networks. The simulation results demonstrate that, compared with some existing routing protocols, the proposed protocol substantially reduces the energy consumption of WSNs.

Published: November 2022

Background: Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci have emerged as important nosocomial pathogens worldwide. These organisms are often resistant to multiple antimicrobial agents limiting the number of antimicrobial treatment options.

Aim: This study aimed to isolate and identify the vancomycin-resistant enterococci from fecal specimens of hospitalized patients in Soba hospitals- in Khartoum, Sudan.

Methods: The current is a descriptive cross-sectional laboratory-based study. 100 hospitalized patients were selected randomly. A fecal specimen was collected from each participant and inoculated on Kanamycin esculin azide agar and incubated at 37OC overnight. Isolated colonies were identified using conventional microbiological methods. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was determined by using the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Vancomycin resistance was detected by using vancomycin screening agar. Collected data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science, version 22, P. value <0.05 was considered statistically significant

Results: Out of 100 fecal specimens, 89 Enterococcus spp. were isolated. 1 out of 89 Enterococci 1.1%) were found vancomycin resistance. Resistant to Ceftriaxone was 100%, Rifampicin was 98.9% and streptomycin was 89.9%.

Conclusion: There was a low prevalence of a vancomycin-resistant and wide range of other antimicrobial agents' resistance with an increase in multi-drug resistant strains of enterococci.

Because of late expansion in arrangement of Cyber-Physical Industrial Control Systems in various basic frameworks, tending to network protection difficulties of these frameworks is essential for guaranteeing their dependability and secure activity in presence of malignant digital assaults. In the ongoing scene that is controlled by innovation and organization associations, it is vital to know what digital protection is furthermore, to have the option to really utilize it. Frameworks, significant documents, information, and other significant virtual things are in danger on the off chance that there is no security to safeguard it. Securing the data have become perhaps of the greatest test in the current day. Whenever we ponder the network protection the primary thing that rings a bell is 'digital violations' which are expanding monstrously step by step. Different Governments and organizations are going to numerous lengths to forestall these digital wrongdoings. Other than different measures digital protection is as yet an extremely large worry to a large number. Towards this end, fostering a testbed to produce ongoing informational indexes for basic foundation that would be used for approval of constant assault recognition calculations are without a doubt profoundly required. This paper investigates and proposes the design and implementation of a cyber-physical industrial control system testbed where the Tennessee Eastman process is simulated in real-time on a PC and the closed-loop controllers are implemented on the Siemens PLCs. Misleading information infusion digital assaults are infused to the created testbed through the man-in-the-center construction where the vindictive programmers can continuously adjust the sensor estimations that are shipped off the PLCs. Moreover, different digital assault location calculations are created and executed continuously on the testbed and their exhibition and capacities are looked at and assessed.

In order to combine multimedia imagery and multispectral remote sensing data to analyze information, preprocessing becomes a necessary part of it. As one of the most important branches in the field of data analysis, it is widely used in many fields such as classification, regression, missing value filling, and machine learning. As a lazy algorithm, this method requires no prior statistical knowledge and no additional data to train description rules and is easy to implement. This study compares classification algorithm performances of data mining clustering algorithms for remotely sensed multispectral image data using WEKA data mining software. Clustering algorithm selection is very important for data mining classification method-based clustering. The class attribute for remotely sensed multispectral image data is obtained from six different clustering algorithms for classification. Classification algorithm performances computed depending on the data labeling of six different clustering algorithms in terms of correctly classified instances and kappa statistics for seven different classification algorithms. A strategy is developed for selecting the best unsupervised clustering algorithm, among different clustering algorithms, giving the highest supervised classification accuracy in terms of correctly classified instances and kappa statistics for semi supervised classification of remotely-sensed multispectral image data. The performances of seven semi-supervised classification methods assessed depending on six different unsupervised clustering algorithms for supervised classification of remotely sensed multispectral image data. This study determines data free clustering algorithms for classification.
