Authors: Ige Tosin , Kiekintveld Christophet , Piplai Aritran
Published: March 2024

To secure computers and information systems from attackers taking advantage of vulnerabilities in the system to commit cybercrime, several methods have been proposed for real-time detection of vulnerabilities to improve security around information systems. Of all the proposed methods, machine learning had been the most effective method in securing a system with capabilities ranging from early detection of software vulnerabilities to real-time detection of ongoing compromise in a system. As there are different types of cyberattacks, each of the existing state-of-the-art machine learning models depends on different algorithms for training which also impact their suitability for detection of a particular type of cyberattack. In this research, we analyzed each of the current state-of-theart machine learning models for different types of cyberattack detection from the past 10 years with a major emphasis on the most recent works for comparative study to identify the knowledge gap where work is still needed to be done with regard to detection of each category of cyberattack
Hypothesis: Electromagnetic Waves can be Represented as Continuous Long String Vibrations
Authors: Zhang ZhaoYang
Published: March 2024

This study delves into the intricate relationships among the constituent elements, wave speed, and energy of both mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves. By establishing connections with the string vibration equation, a compelling revelation emerges. Upon equating the energy and constituent element mass of one wave cycle of a homogeneous string with those of a single wave cycle of electromagnetic waves, it is evident that the wave speed derived from the string vibration equation consistently matches the constant speed of light. From this, a hypothesis takes root: electromagnetic waves manifest as waves resulting from the vibration of a uniform, elongated string-like material. The phenomenon of superluminal speed further fortifies the validity of this conjecture.

Published: March 2024

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) bears a heavy burden on patients and the health care system as whole. The incidence of CKD has been increasing in the Arab world over the years due to increases in Diabetes and hypertension which are the most prominent causes of CKD. Syrians are at higher risk for diabetes and hypertension due to the crisis that the country has been going through. 297 patients’ charts were examined in the kidney surgical hospital in Damascus Syria to determine risk factors for CKD, prevalence of diabetes among them and its associating demographic factors along with changes in serum creatinine, urea, fasting blood glucose levels and MDRD score among diabetic CKD patients. 64.6% of patients were above 50, 61.6% were males and 35.4% were diabetic. Patients with diabetes had lower creatinine levels upon admission than non-diabetics. The correlation between fasting blood glucose level and serum creatinine, urea and MDRD was not statistically significant. This paper shows that the prevalence of diabetes among CKD patients is similar in Syrians to the rest of the world despite the increase of diabetes incidence.

Effect of Radial Directional Vibration-Assisted Ductile-Mode Grinding of Al2O3 Ceramics
Authors: Imai Kenichiro
Published: March 2024

This paper proposes a machining method that uses ultrasonic vibration in the radial direction of the grinding wheel. This method is expected to suppress machining heat because the wheel and workpiece are in intermittent contact with each other. The abrasive grains on the working surface of the wheel act dynamically in the direction of cutting into the workpiece. In this paper, the constant-load grinding of Al2O3 ceramics, a hard and brittle material, was performed. Ductile-mode surfaces were more easily obtained when vibration support was used. The standard deviation of the brightness distribution of the ground surface can be used to evaluate the ductile-mode surface. In this study, the value was less than 16. The results of the measurement of tangential/normal grinding force ratio and the rear-surface temperature of the workpiece confirmed that the values were higher when ductile-mode machining was performed, compared with brittle-mode machining. Furthermore, a vibration-assisted removal model was used to discuss the results of the ductile-mode surfaces, which were more easily obtained when vibration-assisted machining was used.
Leaf Reconstruction Based on Gaussian Mixture Model from Point Clouds of Leaf Boundaries and Veins
Authors: Nagai Yukie , Tanaya Hikaru
Published: March 2024

Three-dimensional (3D) models of leaves are expected to contribute to a wide range of applications, including the study of plant morphology and leaf design. Leaf boundaries and veins are key factors in determining leaf shape in both botany and design. This motivated us to design a leaf-shape generator that uses leaf boundaries and veins. We propose an algorithm to reconstruct leaf geometry as a surface mesh generated from point clouds of leaf boundaries and veins. First, it determines the interior region of the leaf using the multi-level partition of unity implicits approach. Then, based on the Gaussian mixture model, it expresses the 3D shape of the leaf, where the values vary depending on the distances from the leaf boundary to veins. The use of differentiable functions for leaf shapes realizes smooth underlying surfaces and enables various shape analyses using differential operations.
Energy Balanced Self-Organizing Networks Algorithm for Three-Dimensional Internet of Things
Authors: Suharjono Amin
Published: March 2024

Internet of Things (IoT) is developing rapidly with wider application fields. IoT’s main infrastructure is called a wireless sensor network (WSN). Hence, WSN must be able to operate on various network models. Multi-hop clustering is considered a solution for adapting to various network sizes. Multi-hop clustering must be designed to maintain the balance of energy consumption between nodes, and many algorithms have been proposed for this purpose. However, most clustering algorithms are designed with the assumption that the network is a two-dimensional plane. In many applications, WSN is more appropriately modeled as a three-dimensional (3D) network, for example, the WSN application for structural health monitoring or underwater wireless sensor networks. Here, a clustering algorithm for 3D-WSN is proposed. This algorithm is developed based on an analysis of the balance of energy consumption, such that the network lifetime is expected to be longer. The main novelty of our algorithm is the utilization of multi-hop layered transmission. From the simulation, the performance of the proposed algorithm exhibits a good energy balance compared to an un-balanced analysis.

Published: March 2024

This study investigates the legal protection afforded to consumers in the context of e-commerce, focusing on the liabilities of expedition services in cases of delayed or damaged goods. The primary objective is to explore the forms of legal protection provided to consumers for losses due to delays or damages in goods transported by expedition services, and to understand the legal responsibilities of these services in such scenarios. Utilizing a normative research method, the study examines relevant consumer protection laws and regulations governing shipment agreements. The findings reveal that consumers are entitled to various forms of legal protection, including the right to compensation in the form of refunds, replacement of goods, or payments based on the value of loss; entitlement to indemnities for healthcare costs or beneficiary allowances in cases of life-threatening harm; and the right to compensation from expedition services for material and immaterial losses beyond mere refunds. Additionally, the study underscores the government and consumer protection agencies' duty to educate and guide businesses, including expedition services. The legal responsibility of expedition services extends to compensating consumers for delayed shipments or lost goods, through either refunds or replacements. Moreover, the services are obligated to provide compensation or replacements for undelivered or damaged goods. Consumer claims for compensation can be resolved through direct negotiation with the expedition service, legal action, or alternative dispute resolution mechanisms like BPSK. The study concludes that while consumers are legally protected to obtain compensation from expedition services, the enforcement of these services' responsibilities needs to be strengthened for more optimal fulfillment of consumer rights.Highlights:

Legal Protections: Consumers have the right to compensation, including refunds, replacements, or payment for losses, and indemnities for life-threatening damages.
Expedition Services' Obligations: These services must compensate for delays, lost, or damaged goods, with options for direct negotiation, legal action, or alternative dispute resolution.

However, from the large number of participants, the management of the I'dadiyah Az-zainiyah Institution has difficulty determining the best participants because there are several variables that must be compared between one santri and another, so there is often a delay in the announcement of the best participants which results in delays in prospective students who get scholarships. from several schools under the auspices of the Nurul Jadid Islamic Boarding School. Seeing this, it is necessary to have a method that can make it easier for the administrators of the I'dadiyah Az-zainiyah Islamic Boarding School Nurul Jadid to determine the best new students or new students. The method taken by the researcher is the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) decision support system method.

Teaching and mentoring students in grade 1 SD is a big challenge for teachers. These constraints are felt by the teacher during the learning process. The difficulty in organizing students to follow and understand the lessons given so that not a few teachers use unique media so that students can be interested in the material that has been given. One example of manual learning media that teachers do in introducing letters, numbers, and objects is still using stickers or objects sold in the market. manual learning is good enough, but it does not rule out boredom and lack of responsiveness from students. The development of technology today is very good and has even become something that is very much needed, be it the use of social media, games, or other things. One of the features that kids usually like is Games. Therefore, I try to be able to combine the use of technology, especially learning media by using a laptop or headphones to make quizzes or games with the theme of learning using Kahoot to help teachers provide learning with unique media that students like and like. make students more interested and more creative in the learning process.

Published: March 2024

The aim of this study was to assess the nutritional status for samples at the age of 17-15 years. These samples were taken from secondary schools and universities in Baghdad area, 123 of them were male and 261 were female. Data on weight, height and body mass index (BMI) were determined in each individual. Smaller sample of 215 individuals (male and female) from the original sample was taken in order to record their nutritional behavior and daily food intake during the 24 hours prior to the visit through personal meeting using special questionnaire. The results showed that the weight and the height were within the range of the people of neighboring Arab countries, who are in the same age. Beside 44.4- 55.95% of these samples were within the normal weight using body mass index. Percentages of obesity and overweight were between 43.5- 6.5% for male and female respectively. There was an increase in daily food intake in general for essential diet and energy indeed, as recorded in nutritional behavior. 67% of samples have their breakfast every day. There were 51% of the samples having snacks (additional meal) between the major meals everyday and 62% have beverages every day. Also high percentage of samples were having milk and its products, vegetables, fruits (as nutritional sources) every day and the percentages were 47%, 67%, 78% respectively. In general their nutritional behavior and daily food intake were within the limits which showed by American recommended daily dietary, still there was some incorrect nutritional behavior which need more education and learning about nutrition.

Various activities taking place within the city of Baghdad have significantly contributed to organic pollution in Rivers Tigris and Diyala. The present study aimed to assess some physical, chemical and biological aspects of six sites on Rivers Tigris and Diyala as they flow through the city of Baghdad. Monthly samples were collected for the period January to December, 2005.
Marked differences in the physical and chemical characteristics of water were noted between the two rivers’ sites. Average values during the study period of dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, particulate organic matter, nitrate, phosphate and total dissolved solids for Tigris and Diyala were 7.8,4.7; 2.4,10.4; 350.1,921.4;7.8,13.9;1.2,4.8;814,2176 mg / l respectively.
The populations of two fish species, known to be present in polluted waters Silurus triostegus and Mystus pelusis, were also investigated. The two species markedly differed in their favored sites, and their numbers were significantly correlated with particulate organic matter. Average length and weight of Silurus triostegus and Mystus pelusius were respectively 40.1mm, 56.8gm and 15.3mm, 68.3gm for River Tigris, and 40.5mm, 67.5gm and 17.9mm, 73gm respectively for River Diyala.
Average population densities of the major groups of benthic macro invertebrate fauna [Crustaceans, Annelids, Insects and Mollusks] were 1496, 2640, 2574 and 1744 individual/m2 respectively for River Tigris and 463, 2312, 2287 and 1700 individual/m2 respectively for River Diyala. Most invertebrate groups showed positive correlation with particulate organic matter.
Despite the severity of organic enrichment in River Diyala, biotic conditions in its sites were rather similar, unlike sites on River Tigris where they significantly differed in many physical, chemical and biotic respects.

The effect of saline magnetized water irrigation on seed germination and seedling growth of wheat cultivar Iraq were studied. Irrigation water was supplemented with different levels of Sodium chloride 6, 12 or 18 mmhos/ cm in addition control treatment, and passed through a proper magnetic felid with 1000, 1250, 1500 or 2000 gaus in addition control treatment. The results showed significantly stimulated shoot development and led to the increase of germination, seedling emergence, area leaf, length of shoot and root and fresh and dry weight compared to the controls. Results also showed significant interaction between saline water and magnetized water. So, using magnetic treatment of saline water could be a promising technique for Agricultural improvement.
