Establising CNN for Network Intrusion Detection: A Comparative Approach
Authors: Wathan M. Hizbul , Aziz Moh.
Published: November 2024

Intrusion detection plays an important role in protecting systems from various threats. However, as intrusion techniques become more sophisticated, traditional detection methods have shown limitations in identifying new attacks. This research addresses the pressing issue of improving intrusion detection by utilizing Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) algorithms, compared to various other machine learning techniques such as Support Vector Machines (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Gaussian Naive Bayes (GNB), Decision Trees, and Gradient Boosting (GBoost). The main objective is to evaluate and compare the performance of these algorithms using a comprehensive dataset sourced from Kaggle, which includes 25,192 data and 42 features. Using metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score, the results show a complex pattern in the strengths and weaknesses of each. Surprisingly, CNN achieved exceptional accuracy, raising questions that require further investigation. Notably, KNN stands out as the best-performing machine learning algorithm. Contextualized within existing research, this study advances the understanding of the role of machine learning in intrusion detection, providing valuable insights for practical implementation. The findings reinforce the relevance of adapting to the evolving network threat landscape while raising interesting questions for future research. In conclusion, this research provides a comparative analysis of intrusion detection techniques, offering a basis for making informed decisions to improve network security and mitigate evolving threats.

Published: November 2024

This study examines community perceptions of gold mining and its impact on the water quality of the Wariori River in Aurmios Village. The population involved all residents of Aurmios Village with a sample size of 20 (twenty) people. Using a qualitative research approach based on postpositivism and interpretive philosophy, data were collected through triangulation, combining observation, questionnaires, and interviews. The results show significant negative impacts of illegal gold mining on water quality and community life. The majority of respondents (95%) reported an increase in river water turbidity after mining activities, in line with the findings of Yulianti et al. (2016) and Putri Ade Rahma Yulis (2018) on the increase in Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and heavy metal pollution. In addition, 100% of respondents reported reduced clean water sources, leading to economic and health challenges, such as increased healthcare costs and a shift in livelihoods from fisheries and agriculture to gold mining. Environmental impacts include ecosystem degradation and increased flood risk, and 100% of respondents recognized these issues. In order to address these adverse impacts, the study recommends strict government measures to regulate illegal mining, establish safe and legal mining operations, provide clean water infrastructure, as well as educate communities on the dangers of illegal gold mining. These measures are essential to restore the water quality of the Wariori River and ensure the sustainable well-being of Aurmios villagers. Further research is needed to monitor long-term impacts and develop effective mitigation strategies.

PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE OF THE RUSSIAN DOCUMENT LANGUAGE
Authors: KACHALKIN Anatoly
Published: November 2024

The article analyzes the history of the Russian document and its semantic and stylistic features. It discusses the development of its genres and the diversity of document titles from their inception in the 11th century to the present time. The specific features of each period of document development are noted — the 12th–14th centuries, the 15th–17th centuries, the Petrine era, the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, and the present day. The standardization of documents not only facilitated the transmission of necessary information but also helped regulate human activities over time and space. The relevance of this material lies in the fact that documents are part of the written literary language and reflect its norms, and knowledge of the history of document formation serves as a significant resource for modern updates to the terminology of document studies. According to the author, optimizing language and style can be improved through the rational use of keywords and dominants. Identifying the general and specific features of various business prose texts and clarifying the relationship between business language and literary language are seen as further tasks for the philological study of Russian documents.
A CASE SERIES OF VARIABLE PRESENTATIONS OF HERPES ZOSTER IN IMMUNOCOMPROMISED STATE
Authors: Nikhat Nikhat
Published: November 2024

Introduction: Herpes zoster is caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), the VZV genome consists of about 125,000 base pairs of linear doublestranded DNA, and its nucleocapsid consists of 162 capsomers. The virus is highly cell-associated and only infects human cells, such as epithelial
cells, T lymphocytes, and ganglionic neurons [1] which after initial infection, remains latent in posterior root ganglia of the human spinal cord and
can be reactivated in the presence of multiple factors, such as advanced age, physical trauma, psychological stress, cancer, radiotherapy, or states of
immunosuppression [1]. Reactivation of the infection typically manifests as a painful rash accompanied by blisters involving a specic
dermatome. Patients infected with herpes zoster have a history of childhood chickenpox, neuropathic pain along a dermatome, prodrome, fever,
headache, and itching or burning sensation in the affected area [5]. The prolonged use of corticosteroids in the geriatric and paediatric population
can increase the risk of developing herpes zoster due to its immunosuppressing effects [3].PHN dened as dermatomal pain lasting for at least three
months after the acute phase of a HZ [9]. The risk of suffering HZ in ageing person, with immunocompromised (IC) conditions due to diseases or

Authors: Tanwar Rohit , Tanwar Manjit , Gupta Tarun , Bhatt Rudrax
Published: November 2024

Introduction: Laryngoscopy and intubation of the tracheal tube are noxious stimuli and changes in haemodynamics are attributed to the
stimulation of epipharyngeal and parapharyngeal region. These changes are manifested as rise in heart rate and blood pressure which are variable,
transient and unpredictable. Method: A double-blind randomised trial comparing the haemodynamic effects of two opioid drugs, Fentanyl and
Butorphanol. 60 patients divided into two group. Group B- Inj. Butorphanol 40 µg/kg IV. Group F - Inj. Fentanyl 2 µg/kg IV. Is administered 5
minutes before Laryngoscopy Intubation. Results: Even in well-anaesthetised individuals, reex tachycardia and hypertension on laryngoscopy
and intubation occurs quite frequently.The study was done on the focus to search for a better haemodynamic response so that patients compliance
will be better with less side effects. Conclusion: With this study we conclude that the administration of intravenous butorphanol prior to induction
of anaesthesia helps on better attenuation of the haemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation than intravenous fentanyl.

Paraduodenal hernia is the most common form of congenital internal hernia and is defined as protrusion of bowel into the retro- peritoneal space through
peritoneal defects near the third and fourth portion of the duodenum.(1) There is a lifetime risk of obstruction and bowel strangulation is around 50% with a
mortality of 20% and higher. Despite the rarity of the disease, it poses a serious surgical problem. (1) The high risk of obstruction and the associated mortality
mandate repair once the diagnosis is established. We present the interesting case of a 32-year-old man with a left para-duodenal hernia who presented with
abdominal pain and vomiting and underwent subsequent emergency exploratory laparotomy with hernia repair. The purpose of this paper is to review the
etiology, pathology, diagnosis and treatment of para-duodenal hernia and to heighten the awareness of this rare but significant disease.

Gestione dello stato di criticità organizzativa e gestionale del sistema complesso scuola
Authors: Boldi Marta
Published: November 2024

The evolution of the complex school system from its origins to school autonomy explains why it has acquired the connotation of complexity over time. This synergy between organization and institution that has been developing has resulted in the identification of the leader and the manager in one and the same person, that is, the School Headmaster who acts as a function of continuous improvement. The characterizing aspects of the management function and the School Institution become: governance, leadership, manager, research, communication, organizational culture, and empowerment. Organizational culture, in this scenario, understood as the sharing of assumptions, meanings, values and behaviors, becomes the useful means of achieving the institutional mandate: the guarantee of every student's educational success.

Authors: Onyemenonu Christopher C. , Nleonu Emmanuel C. , Ademidun Adesibikan
Published: November 2024

The presence of heavy metals in wastewater has raised concern in developing countries because of their impact on human health and environmental ecology. Therefore, this study aims to remove cadmium and lead ions from wastewater using natural Pterocarpus santalinoides fruit through the adsorption method. The Box-Behnken design (BBD) of the response surface methodology (RSM) method was adopted to optimize the process variables such as contact time (20-100 min), adsorbent dose (0.1-0.5 g), initial metal ion concentration (10-50 mg/l), and temperature (30-70 °C). The ANOVA results clearly indicate that the linear model was not sufficient to best predict the removal performance of cadmium (R2 = 0.4009) and lead (R2 = 6353). The optimum conditions for the maximum Cd (94.81%) and Pb (89.23 %) adsorption onto the adsorbent were achieved at contact time (42.16 min), adsorbent dose (0.25 g), initial metal ion concentration (21.52 mg/l), and temperature (37.00 °C). According to the findings of the present work, Pterocarpus santalinoides shows to be a potential eco-friendly and cheap adsorbent for the removal of Cd and Pb from aqueous solutions. The BBD-RSM actual and predicted values of the Cd and Pb ions response show non-significant correlation, suggesting poor agreement between the two, revealing that the BBD-RSM model applied is not effective for the relationship between the four parameters examined in the Cd and Pb ions removal process.

Published: November 2024

Background: Combined effects of pregnancy induced hypercoagulability and SARS-CoV-2 infection place pregnant women with COVID-19 disease at high risk of severe outcome. COVID-19 severity has also been associated with serum D-dimer, a biomarker reflecting coagulation and fibrin degradation, in general populations. Despite its prognostic value in pregnant women, the prognostic value of this finding particularly in maternal outcomes remains less understood. The aim of this study was to determine whether elevated serum D-dimer levels in pregnant COVID-19 positive women are of prognostic significance for severe maternal outcomes. Methods: This retrospective observational study included 62 third trimester COVID 19 positive pregnant women admitted to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, BSMMU, Dhaka from March 2019 to February 2020. Serum D-dimer were measured at admission and day 7, 14. D-dimer levels were related to clinical outcomes and statistically evaluated using chi square tests and logistic regression at p < 0.05. Results: Significantly associated with higher risk of severe outcomes, all of which included ICU admission, respiratory complications and adverse pregnancy events is elevated D-dimer levels (≥1.5 mg/L). In logistic regression analysis, patients with D-dimer levels of ≥1.5 mg/L had 3.5-fold greater odds of severe outcomes (OR 3.486; 95% CI, 1.184 to 10.263; p = 0.023). D-dimer had a sensitivity of 64.29%, 67.55% specificity in predicting severe outcomes. Conclusion: Serum D-dimer is valuable prognostic marker of disease severity in pregnant COVID-19 positive women and may be used for early risk assessment and clinical decision making. Routine measurement may help identify early high risk cases in order to improve maternal outcomes.

Published: November 2024

The increasing resistance of pathogenic bacteria to conventional antibiotics has necessitated the search for alternative antimicrobial agents, particularly from plants. This study investigates the phytochemical composition and antibacterial activity of ethanol and n-hexane extracts of Aspilia africana leaves and Gardenia jasminoides roots. Phytochemical screening was carried out using standard methods. The extracts were tested against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis using the disc diffusion method and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) determination. The phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and terpenoids in varying concentrations across both plant extracts. The ethanol extract of Aspilia africana exhibited the highest flavonoid content (12.38%), while Gardenia jasminoides roots had a significantly higher tannin concentration (23.68%) in the ethanol extract compared to Aspilia africana (0.12%). Alkaloids and saponins were also abundant in Gardenia jasminoides roots (5.37% and 9.85%, respectively), particularly in the ethanol extract. Both plant extracts demonstrated significant antibacterial activity, with the ethanol extracts showing higher potency. The results of the antimicrobial analysis showed that the ethanol extracts of both plants demonstrated greater antimicrobial efficacy, particularly at higher concentrations. Gardenia jasminoides root extract showed inhibitory activity against all tested bacteria at 50mg/l and lower concentrations. Similarly, the n-hexane extract exhibited antibacterial activity, albeit less potent than the ethanol extract. In conclusion, the results indicate that both plant species possess potent antibacterial properties, particularly in ethanol extracts, supporting their traditional use in treating bacterial infections and justifying further research into their medicinal applications.

Authors: EKPULU Dr. Godspower Anthony , OPUDU Dr. Okubokeme Derek
Published: November 2024

This study interrogates the interplay between board attributes and dividend payout policy amongst listed in Nigerian manufacturing firms. The research focuses on various board attributes, including board size, board independence, gender diversity, and board ownership, to determine their influence on the dividend decisions of firms. Using panel data from a sample of Nigerian manufacturing companies listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) from 2013 to 2022, the study employs multiple regression analysis to evaluate the effect of these variables on dividend per share. The results indicate that board independence positively influence dividend payouts, while board diversity and board ownership have negative non-significant effect on the criterion variable using t-statistics. These findings suggest that a well-structured board can enhance firm decision-making, leading to higher shareholder returns. The study recommends that policymakers and firm managers should consider the composition and governance of boards when devising strategies related to dividend payouts to optimize corporate performance and shareholder value.

Background: Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a vital indicator of kidney function, particularly in patients receiving treatments that may impact renal health, such as intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injections like bevacizumab. Bevacizumab, commonly used to treat retinal diseases like diabetic retinopathy, has raised concerns about its potential systemic effects, including its impact on kidney function due to the role of VEGF in maintaining glomerular integrity. This study investigates the effect of bevacizumab injections on renal function in patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and those without. Objective: To assess changes in eGFR before and after intravitreal bevacizumab injections in patients with and without diabetic kidney disease, evaluating whether these injections significantly affect renal function. Methodology: This quasi-experimental study was conducted in the Department of Ophthalmology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), from April 2019 to August 2021. Forty patients with diabetic retinopathy were selected, divided equally into DKD and non-DKD groups. Serum creatinine and eGFR were measured within 30 days before the injection and one month after the third dose of intravitreal bevacizumab. eGFR was calculated using the CKD-EPI equation, and statistical analysis was performed using SPSS. Results: The mean pre-injection eGFR was 69.35±25.91 ml/min/1.73m² in the DKD group and 96.7±30.59 ml/min/1.73m² in the non-DKD group. Post-injection, the mean eGFR was 73.3±33.87 ml/min/1.73m² in DKD patients and 93.6±29.7 ml/min/1.73m² in non-DKD patients. The mean differences in eGFR were not statistically significant between pre- and post-injection measurements in either group (p>0.05). Conclusion: Intravitreal bevacizumab injections did not cause significant changes in eGFR in both DKD and non-DKD patients, suggesting that the treatment is unlikely to have a detrimental impact on renal function in the short term. Further studies are needed to assess the long-term effects of repeated injections.

O tratamento do Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade (TDAH) em adultos utilizando abordagens modernas tem se mostrado uma estratégia eficaz e segura, proporcionando melhores resultados com menor risco de efeitos adversos em comparação aos métodos tradicionais. Essas técnicas, amplamente adotadas para melhorar o controle dos sintomas e a qualidade de vida dos pacientes, incluem intervenções farmacológicas e não farmacológicas, como o uso de medicamentos de liberação prolongada, terapia cognitivo-comportamental (TCC) e mindfulness, que promovem o equilíbrio neuropsicológico e a regulação comportamental. Cada uma dessas abordagens visa minimizar os sintomas do TDAH e melhorar a funcionalidade do paciente, utilizando tratamentos que oferecem benefícios clínicos comprovados e com menor incidência de efeitos colaterais.
Estudos clínicos e revisões sistemáticas têm demonstrado que o uso dessas técnicas é eficaz no manejo de diferentes tipos de manifestações do TDAH em adultos, incluindo dificuldades de atenção, hiperatividade e impulsividade. O tratamento farmacológico, por exemplo, estimula neurotransmissores importantes no cérebro, como a dopamina, enquanto a TCC auxilia no desenvolvimento de estratégias cognitivas para melhorar a organização e o controle das emoções. O mindfulness, por sua vez, tem mostrado benefícios na redução de sintomas relacionados ao estresse e na promoção de maior atenção plena. Essas técnicas são especialmente vantajosas para pacientes que buscam melhorias visíveis na qualidade de vida com menor risco de efeitos adversos.
Dado o sucesso dessas abordagens, é essencial que os profissionais de saúde estejam bem informados sobre as indicações, técnicas e resultados das intervenções modernas no tratamento do TDAH em adultos. A individualização do tratamento, considerando o perfil de sintomas e as características específicas de cada paciente, é fundamental para maximizar os benefícios e minimizar os riscos. Em conclusão, as novas estratégias de tratamento representam uma evolução significativa no manejo do TDAH em adultos, oferecendo aos pacientes uma alternativa eficaz e segura aos métodos tradicionais, com um perfil de segurança favorável e alta satisfação.
DESCONSTRUINDO FALSAS PERCEPÇÕES SOBRE OS SILICONES EM COSMÉTICOS

O silicone é composto por uma estrutura molecular que envolve ligações entre os átomos de carbono, silício e oxigênio, com dois radicais orgânicos ligados aos átomos de silício, resultando na configuração geral (-R2Si-O-). O polissiloxano (PDMS) é o polímero amplamente utilizado na formulação de produtos cosméticos voltados para cuidados com a pele e cabelos, proporcionando características estéticas como leveza, resistência à transferência e estabilidade térmica. A aplicação de silicones em cosméticos apresenta um cenário complexo, com argumentos que abordam tanto os potenciais riscos quanto a sua segurança e viabilidade. Diante disso, foi realizada uma análise crítica das concepções equivocadas sobre o uso de silicones em cosméticos. A pesquisa foi fundamentada em artigos científicos provenientes de bases de dados digitais, com o objetivo de garantir a atualidade e relevância das informações, demonstrando que os silicones são seguros, não apresentam toxicidade e não ocasionam bioacumulação.

A presença de sarcopenia é bastante recorrente em pacientes com doença renal crônica (DRC), em hemodiálise (HD), um dos fatores mais atrelados a essa condição é o quadro inflamatório presente nesses pacientes. Sabendo que a desnutrição-inflamação e sarcopenia são fatores que aumentam os agravos nesses pacientes, o seu rastreamento precoce pode melhorar o prognóstico e qualidade de vida nessa população. Logo, este trabalho tem o intuito de avaliar as chances do desenvolvimento de sarcopenia em pacientes em HD a partir do questionário de desnutrição-inflamação (MIS), frente a ferramentas antropométricas, sociodemográficas, clínicas e do estilo de vida. A pesquisa foi constituída em um hospital público de Pernambuco, com 49 pacientes, onde desses 53,1% eram do sexo feminino, moradores da cidade do Recife e analfabetos, 67,3% e 34,7% respectivamente. Foram aplicados os questionários de MIS e SARC-F, com o objetivo de identificar o risco para desnutrição-inflamação e sarcopenia, aferidas medidas antropométricas e descritas as características sociodemográficas e de estilo de vida da população estudada. O MIS classificou 71,4% dos pacientes sem risco para desnutrição-inflamação e apresentou associação significativa com a faixa etária (p=0,02) e SARC-F (p=0,01), foi verificada associação entre o MIS e o IMC ou com o tempo de HD. Assim, o MIS mostrou-se uma ferramenta capaz de predizer os riscos de sarcopenia, auxiliando no diagnóstico precoce dessa condição e favorecendo a instituição de protocolos clínicos mais adequados para o tratamento de pacientes com DRC em HD.
Marx e a crítica ao assim chamado “método” dos juristas analíticos
Authors: Andrade Ana Carolina Marra de
Published: November 2024

No presente artigo, iremos analisar a crítica feita por Karl Marx em seus Cadernos Etnológicos ao assim chamado “método” dos juristas analíticos. Para isso, passaremos pelos comentários de Marx ao jurista Henry Sumner Maine, fazendo um exame extenso de um trecho específico, no qual essa crítica aparece de forma mais direta. Ao longo de nossa exposição, pretendemos demonstrar que a crítica ao “método” dos juristas analíticos está inserida na perspectiva de uma crítica à teoria do direito como um todo. Então, dissecaremos a associação feita por Marx entre a economia política e a teoria do direito, em especial a de John Austin, passando pela crítica ao método da economia política com base nos Grundrisse: Manuscritos econômicos de 1857-1858, e também pela diferenciação entre economia política, economia vulgar, e apologética conforme exposta em obras anteriores do autor de O capital. O que Maine chama de “método” dos juristas analíticos é, para Marx, um dogmatismo formalista comum à teoria do direito, que traz elementos distorcidos da economia política de modo cabalmente apologético. A temática perpassa discussões que acompanharam Marx por toda sua vida, como a relação entre burguesia e a produção científica, bem como o papel da teoria do direito na defesa de interesses burgueses. Ademais, acreditamos que uma leitura dedicada dos Cadernos etnológicos tem muito a oferecer para o pensamento marxista, e nosso artigo fornece algumas pontuais contribuições nesse sentido.
Retorno a Budapeste: Lukács, democracia e realismo
Authors: Alves Paula
Published: November 2024

O retorno de Georg Lukács à Hungria ocorreu em dois momentos distintos: primeiro em 1918, após sua estadia na Alemanha, e depois em 1945, após seu exílio em Moscou. Esses dois retornos marcam diferentes fases de sua trajetória intelectual. O primeiro foi fortuito, enquanto o segundo resultou de uma decisão consciente, refletindo um desenvolvimento. Partindo dessa constatação, a análise que segue busca traçar os elos entre o exílio moscovita e o período subsequente, explorando as "tentativas de realização" que Lukács empreendeu na Hungria e as questões relacionadas com o surgimento da democracia popular no Leste Europeu.

No presente artigo demonstramos que o setor de seguros, como uma fração do capital, possui extensas e variadas imbricações com distintos momentos do movimento de acumulação ampliada do capital e de metamorfoses do valor, cumprindo funcionalidades para redistribuição do capital e formação de um fundo coletivo privado através da concentração de capital monetário desde os primórdios do processo de acumulação capitalista. Os fundos financeiros geridos pelas seguradoras necessitam, no curso da reprodução ampliada, se rentabilizar e buscar valorização a fim de gerar novas possibilidades de lucro, assim como operar de maneira imbricada com o capital bancário.

the rapid growth of social media usage, a common trend has emerged where users often make sarcastic comments on posts. While sarcasm can sometimes be harmless, it can blur the line with cyberbullying, especially when used in negative or harmful contexts. This growing issue has been exacerbated by the anonymity and vast reach of the internet, making cyberbullying a significant concern on platforms like Reddit. Our research focuses on distinguishing cyberbullying from sarcasm, particularly where online language nuances make it difficult to discern harmful intent. This study proposes a framework using natural language processi ng (NLP) and machine learning to differentiate between the two, addressing the limitations of traditional sentiment analysis in detecting nuanced behaviors. By analyzing a custom dataset scraped from Reddit, we achieved a 95.15% accuracy in distinguishing harmful content from sarcasm. Our findings also reveal that teenagers and minority groups are particularly vulnerable to cyberbullying. Additional ly, our research uncovers coordinated graphs of groups involved in cyberbullying, identifying common patterns in their behavior. This research contributes to improving detection capabilities for safer online communities.
