Shilling Attack Detection in User Based Recommendation System
Authors: Poornima S , Geethanjali M
Published: February 2023

The majority of the existing unsupervised methods for detecting shilling attacks are based on user rating patterns, ignoring the differences in rating behavior between legitimate users and attack users. These methods have low accuracy in detecting different shilling attacks without having any prior knowledge of the attack types. We provide a novel unsupervised shilling assault detection technique based on an examination of user rating behavior in order to overcome these constraints. By first examining the deviation of rating tendencies on each item, we are able to determine the target item(s) and the accompanying goals of the attack users. Based on the results of this study, a group of suspicious users is then created. Second, we examine the users' rating behaviors in terms of their rating and interest preferences. Finally, using measurements of user rating behavior, we determine the suspicious degree and identify attack users within the collection of suspicious users. The Movie Lens 1M dataset, the sampled Amazon review dataset, and the Netflix dataset all show how good the suggested detection model.

The capacity of cloud computing, an emerging paradigm, to lower computer costs, has made it the hottest research area of the day. The most fascinating and alluring aspect of modern technology is what it is giving. The services to its customers over the internet on demand. Security has emerged as the primary challenge impeding the implementation of cloud settings because cloud computing stores data and distributes resources in an open environment. Although cloud computing is effective and promising, there are several issues with data security because the cloud user has no physical access to the data. We suggested a technique using the RSA algorithm to assure the security of the data.

Published: February 2023

The Internet of Things (IoT) has recently emerged as a cutting-edge technology for creating smart environments. The Internet of Things (IoT) connects systems, applications, data storage, and services, which may be a new entry point for cyber-attacks as they provide continuous services in the organization. At the current time, software piracy and malware attacks pose significant threats to IoT security. These threats may grab vital information, causing economic and reputational harm. The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is a subset of the Internet of Things in which medical equipment exchanges highly confidential with one another. These advancements allow the healthcare industry to maintain a higher level of touch and care for its patients. Security is viewed as a significant challenge in any technology's reliance on the IoT. Remote hijacking, impersonation, denial of service attacks, password guessing, and man-in-the-middle are all security concerns. Critical data associated with IoT connectivity may be revealed, altered, or even rendered inaccessible to authenticated persons in the event of such attacks. the deep recurrent neural network is used to detect malicious infections in IoT networks by displaying color images. In this paper, we propose a method for detecting cyber-attacks on IoMT systems that tends to make use of innovative deep learning. Specifically, our method incorporates a set of long short-term memory (LSTM) modules into a detector ensemble using a recurrent neural network.
IMPLEMENTATION OF CLAHE CONTRAST ENHANCEMENT & OTSU THRESHOLDING IN RETINAL IMAGE PROCESSING
Authors: T M SOUJANYA  , K PRASAD BABU
Published: February 2023

In both ophthalmological and cardiovascular disease diagnosis, the accurate segmentation of the retinal vessel tree has become the prerequisite step for automatic or computer-aided diagnosis systems. Unlike typical foreground and background segmentation in normal image processing, there are three problems making the retinal vessel segmentation task even harder. First, the retinal color image tends to be red everywhere, thus having a lower contrast than normal image segmentation. Second, most retinal color images suffer from unbalanced illumination and make it harder to recognize background. Third, the symptom for retinopathy has unexpected color and shape, thus making it more difficult to separate vessel from noises. Under such circumstance, the research of the retinal blood vessel segmentation has brought much attention and been developed. In this work, the input is a retinal color image and the output will be a binary image of the vessel and non-vessel pixels. Preprocessing with CLAHE contrast enhancement, Vessel Extraction with Otsu thresholding is implemented along with performance parameters Accuracy, Sensitivity and Specificity. In the proposed work 20 images are used from the database called Digital Retinal Images for Vessel Extraction. The performance parameters Specificity, Sensitivity, Accuracy are evaluated.

Published: February 2023

Currently, new varieties of triticale show improved morphological characteristics, according to the requirements of practice. The new directions mainly concern the waist and the components of the ear. Recent research has shown that new varieties, which form chains with relatively lower heights, could be suitable for different levels of intensification. On the other hand, current studies on morphological characters are useful in the progress of variety improvement, characteristic of the current stage. The wide genetic dowry and growing conditions of triticale usually lead to the specific expression of plant morphology. In the autumn triticale varieties Haiduc and FDL Bolid, some new directions were found, these being recently improved. Thus, compared to the two varieties, the straw and its upper segments were shorter in Haiduc. The thickness of the straw at the base was 0.2 mm smaller at Bolid. Both the length of the spike and its weight were similar. The Haiduc variety dominated instead in the number of spikelets in a spike, 31 compared to 29 in the Bolid variety. The membranes that cover the spikelet had similar dimensions: the external glume of 9 mm, the lower palea of 12-13 mm, and at Bolid the awn was 2 cm higher. The two varieties of triticale were more obviously differentiated by the morphological characteristics of the grains. Thus, for the Bolid variety, the number of grains in an ear was higher by 10, and the weight was higher by 0.5 g. Instead, the grain length was higher in Haiduc. The dominant values of the mass of one thousand grains were in both varieties at 50 g. Specific and at the same time important correlations were obtained between the morphological characters of the varieties. Thus, the number of grains in an ear and their weight were positively correlated with all the studied characters, with higher values of the correlation coefficients obtained for the Bolid variety. Both varieties of autumn triticale have demonstrated by their morphological characteristics, a good adaptability to zonal conditions.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat proses pemberdayaan dan penataan PKL yang di lakukkan oleh pemerintah Kabupaten Bantul. PKL adalah salah satu sektor informal yang menjadi sumber retribusi dalam menambah pendapatan asli daerah, namun pada suatu sisi maraknya PKL berbuntut pada munculnya berbagai persoalan. Ada anggapan bahwa keberadaan PKL yang semerawut dan tidak teratur mengganggu ketertiban, keindahan serta kebersihan lingkungan. Lokasi berdagang yang sembarangan bahkan cenderung memakan bibir jalan sangat mengganggu lalu lintas baik bagi pejalan kaki maupun pengendara motor atau mobil. Selain itu, parkir kendaraan para pembeli yang tidak teratur juga sangat mengganggu ketertiban. Belum lagi masalah limbah atau sampah. Penelitian ini menggukana metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan sumber data primer yang dilakukan dengan wawancara, kuisioner dan observasi, dan juga sumber data sekunder yang berasal dari dokumen pemerintah seperti LAKIP dan dokumen lainnya. Hasil penelitian ini dinyatakan pemberdayaan dan penataan yang dilakukan pemerintah belum optimal karena Pemberdayaan yang dilakukan pemerintah Kabupaten Bantul hanya berupa: penyuluhan dan bantuan tenda dagangan.

Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) infections have become a common problem in hospital and community-acquired infections. This study was aimed at detecting the presence of mecA gene among Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates from clinical samples obtained from 2 major hospitals in Sokoto, Northwestern Nigeria. A total of 95 non duplicate isolates were screened for confirmation using standard microbiological techniques. Antibiotic sensitivity testing was carried out by disc diffusion using Cefoxitin and resistant isolates were tested with different other antibiotics. All MRSA isolates were subjected to molecular analysis by detection of mecA gene based on PCR technique. Showed that, 42/95 (44.2%) were methicillin resistant. The most potent antibiotic was quinupristin/dalfopristin with 83.3% sensitivity followed by rifampicin with 81.0% and clindamycin with a 71.4%. The least activity was shown to be in fluoroquinolone antibiotic ciprofloxacin with 78.6% of the isolates demonstrating resistance followed by, tetracycline and gentamycin with 64.3%, 61.9% and 61.9% respectively. Most of the MRSA isolates were resistant to more than three antibiotics.PCR showed 36(85.7%) harbored the mecA gene. Although, polymerase chain reaction is the gold standard for determining Methicillin resistance through the detection of the mecA gene, the present study phenotypically established the presence of methicillin resistant S. aureus isolates that are mecA negative. Therefore, interpretation of MRSA detection strictly based on mecA detection should be done with care in the study area.

Published: February 2023

The principle of cultured divinity is a commitment to maintain and respect various religious beliefs that exist in Indonesia. The values that are carried out in the principle of divinity that are cultured have vertical and horizontal dimensions. The vertical value concerns the Indonesian people's belief in God, and the horizontal value concerns peace in living together despite differences. In practice, the Indonesian nation is still in the process of creating harmony between people of different religions, because in Indonesia there are still frequent acts of intolerance and violence in the name of religion. This study aims to formulate Sukarno's thoughts about divinity with a culture, and his contribution to the development of religion in Indonesia.This research is a literature study with a factual historical research model. The results of this study indicate that a cultured divinity is a way of implementing an understanding of the one and only God in a pluralistic society. The moral virtues that need to be put forward are having noble character, being tolerant, respecting each other and eliminating religious egoism. One of the ways to cultivate tolerance and mutual respect is through education. The relevance of cultural divinity can broaden and deepen the study of Pancasila ethics by developing an ethics of interaction, which invites people to think critically, be actively involved in solving concrete problems in society such as the problem of intolerance.

This case and literature study aim to highlight a rare cause of pneumomediastinum in a health professional due to the long-term use of an N95 facemask during the pandemic. In our case, a twenty-eight-year-old female patient with mild intermittent asthma was presented to the emergency room with stinging pain in the anterior chest wall and parasternal areas. Laboratory tests and chest x-ray showed no significance, but pneumomediastinum was present on chest computed tomography. Pneumomediastinum is a rare complication in asthmatic patients. However, events that may cause alveolar and intrabronchial pressure increases can lead to pneumomediastinum. In conclusion, increased airway pressure due to prolonged use of N95 facemasks can lead to pneumomediastinum.

Authors: Bosa Nikita , Mtetwa Trevor Ncamiso
Published: February 2023

The aim on construction contractors is to increase their output, decrease employee turnover, enhance stakeholder management and ensure that maintain competitiveness. Employee commitment and engagement is a tool that can drive enhance the achievement of these objectives. Disengaged employees have been linked to higher absenteeism and turnover, lower attention to detail and lack of team integration, aspects that all impact negatively on project performance/productivity. This paper assessed employee engagement and perception of job design of construction managers within a major construction contractor. A quantitative approach by means of electronic email survey was used for collecting primary data. A census survey was conducted, and data was collected from the full population of 11 construction managers. Data was analysed using SPSS. The data was presented in a combination of frequency and descriptive statistics. Overall employee engagement levels were found to be high amongst respondents. The lowest composite measure was for employee loyalty and the highest was for employee commitment. Perceptions of job design attributes were also high indicating that the work of construction managers is well designed. Information and processing achieved the highest rating while task significance scored the lowest. Recommendations to assist in increasing existing levels of employee engagement and job design included, greater commitment from organisational leadership to drive the agenda, training and career development and planning.

The Christian family guarantees management of the value of human life
Authors: Mohor-Obreja Bogdan
Published: February 2023

The Orthodox Church has always taught that human life begins at conception when a sperm fuses with an egg to produce a living, genetically unique being. Just as the Church takes special care of helpless and defenseless human beings, so much more does she take care of human embryos and unborn babies, that is, helpless beings. By accepting and legislating the artificial interruption of pregnancy, paradoxically, hospitals and maternity hospitals, places meant to protect and give life, became cemeteries for those who were to see the light of day.

The aim of the Christian obituary is not to indoctrinate the faithful, but to train them, to bring hope, to create natural attitudes and constructive spiritual skills of man during life and in the face of death, to transmit Christian teachings for his salvation. This requires a commensurate sacrifice on the part of the preacher. In this context, the focus will be on the stages of preparation and elaboration of a Christian obituary, taking into account its special features. A special aspect that should not be neglected is related to the additions to the obituary that may be contrary to both local traditions and the teaching of faith. A special aspect that should not be neglected is related to the additions to the obituary that may be contrary to both local traditions and the teaching of faith. In such difficult moments resulting from the loss of a loved one, the priest must adapt his sermon in such a way as to include the essence of the Christian teaching about God's providence and the meaning of the Christian life, about God's reward after hard and long patience in suffering, offering consolation and peace to the bereaved family and those present at the funeral event. Therefore, thorough knowledge of Christian teaching, special and general training of the preacher are the essential conditions and stages for a successful sermon, for which he must train himself through spiritual, pastoral, cultural and intellectual effort, with time and without time, all his life.

Legal Approach to International Cooperation on Cloud Storage of Personal Information
Authors: Zhang Yi
Published: February 2023

The development of information technology has accelerated the process of globalization and has also internationalized the issue of personal information storage and protection. Personal information can be stored in a cross-border cloud based on the development of Internet technology. However, the separation of the controlling place and the storage place of personal information has brought new challenges to the international regulation of personal information protection. For example, the conflict of legislation, law enforcement, judicial jurisdiction, and the exercise of cyber sovereignty between different countries, etc. In order to strengthen international cooperation on the safety of personal information, it is recommended to promote the sharing of cloud storage of personal information by establishing international self-regulatory organizations, constructing a safety line for the protection of the private rights of information, creating the principle of confirming interests before the usage of information and strengthening the mechanism of punitive compensation in malicious commercial use, etc. It is important to further improve domestic unified legislation and clarify the extraterritorial effects of domestic laws. And introduce data controller standards under the principle of international comity to break the inherent territorial jurisdiction principle. Besides, it is also very necessary to establish and improve the graded and classified management and early warning mechanism for the commercial use of personal information stored abroad. Finally, it is important to take an active part in international negotiations and strive for the right to make international rules on personal information protection.

Diabetes Melitus merupakan penyakit metabolik dan ditandai dengan kenaikan kadar glukosa dalam darah. Salah satu strategi penting dalam menurunkan kadar gula dalam darah adalah dengan menghambat enzim yang menghidrolisis karbohidrat seperti α-amilase. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui efek penghambatan ekstrak batang kersen terhadap aktivitas enzimα-amilase sebagai kandidat anti diabetes. Hasil fraksi dari ekstrak etanol batang kersen tersebut dievaluasi potensi penghambatannya terhadap enzimα-amilase dengan menggunakan metode spektrofotometri Uv-Vis serta menggunakan amilum sebagai substrat dan dihitung nilai IC50 nya. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak etanol, ekstrak etil asetat dan ekstrak n-heksan yang diuji memiliki tidak memiliki kemampuan menghambat aktivitas enzim α-amilase. Dari pengujian yang dilakukan diperoleh nilai IC50 ekstrak 686,861 µg/mL, n-heksan 39,794 µg/mL, etil 762,968 µg/mL dan air 422,169 µg/mL. Tingkat kekuatan inhibisi terhadap enzim α-amilase ialah sangat aktif jika IC50 ≤ 25 μg/mL, aktif jika 25 μg/mL < IC50 ≤ 50 μg/mL, kurang aktif jika 50 μg/mL < IC50 ≤ 100 μg/mL dan tidak aktif jika IC50 > 100 μg/mL. Sehingga dapat diketahui bahwa ekstrak etanol akar kersen (Muntingia calabura L) dikategorikan tidak aktif sebagai inhibitor enzim α-amilase.
