A technical research survey on bio-inspired intelligent optimization grouping algorithms for finite state automata in intrusion detection system
Authors: Prithi S. , Sumathi S.
Published: May 2024

Network Security plays an essential role in the modern world. Current network services mainly rely on processing of payload in packets.  Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) is a key factor in examining the packet payload which uses the signatures to identify the packet that carries  any viruses, worms, malicious traffic, unauthorized access and attacks. DPI uses regular expression matching as a core operator to  examine the packet payload. Finite State Automata (FSA) are natural representations for regular expression. FSA is usually too large to be  constructed or deployed and has a huge overhead. Finite State Automata frequently leads to state explosion problem which require more  storage space, high bandwidth and more computational time. To overcome this problem, Intelligent Optimization Grouping  Algorithms (IOGA) can be used to distribute the regular expressions into various groups and for each group the Deterministic Finite  Automata (DFA) are built independently. Grouping the regular expression efficiently solves the state explosion problem by achieving  large-scale best tradeoff among the memory utilization and computational time. This paper reviews the various Intelligent Optimization  Grouping Algorithms like Genetic Algorithm, Ant Colony Optimization, Particle Swarm Optimization, Bacterial Foraging Optimization,  Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm, Biogeography Based Optimization, Cuckoo Search, Firefly Algorithm, Bat Algorithm and Flower Plant  Optimization. The discussions states that by effectively using these grouping algorithms along with finite state automata can reduce the  number of states by solving the state explosion blow up problem, providing a balance between the memory consumption, number of   groups and provide faster convergence.

Studying the spatiotemporal distribution and health risks associated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and pesticides in a river is crucial for understanding the impacts of these contaminants on human health. Hence, the objective of this paper was to investigate the spatiotemporal variation and health risk assessment of selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and pesticides in Ogun River, Lagos, Nigeria. The water samples were analyzed using gas chromatography coupled with MSD model 5977A. The results show a diverse distribution of PAHs across the sites, with Naphthalene and Acenaphthylene being the most frequently detected, having significantly higher concentrations in the dry season than in the rainy season. There was a significant difference in the mean amounts of pesticides at site 1 compared to other sites.  While some pesticides recorded higher mean values in the rainy season, others had higher mean values in the dry season. Similar to PAHs, most pesticides had higher mean values in year 1 than in year 2. Most of the pesticides and PAHs posed significant non-cancer risks (HQ > 1) through oral exposure, except Glyphosate and Imidacloprid at all the sites; and Acenaphthene and Anthracene at site 4. There was also a significant health risk through dermal exposure to Heptachlor and Dichlorvos at S4 and Aldrin at S1. The cancer risk through oral exposure to all the detected carcinogenic pollutants is significant (CR >1×10-4), except Lindane at S4, which was within the acceptable range. Benzo[a]anthracene and Benzo[a]pyrene posed significant cancer risk through dermal exposure at S3 and heptachlor at S1. The study indicated that the observed spatial and temporal variations are different for specific pollutants. There is a high probability of adverse carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks for people who rely on the river for various purposes.

Published: May 2024

Zinc oxide nanoparticles have appeared as a novel tool in agronomy and crop protection sequel to its efficacy to combat bacterial plant pathogens that are resistant to conventional antibacterial agents. Zinc oxide nanoparticles and gentamicin were quantitatively tested against Xanthomonas campesiris vesicatoria, the pathogens that causes infective pre-harvest and post- harvest spot in tomato. Exactly 0.1mL of the suspension from grounded tomato was aseptically plated on sucrose agar medium and was incubated at optimum temperature for 24 – 48 hours. Pathogenicity tests of the isolates was carried on uninfected tomato to authenticate the infectious isolates obtained. Aqueous and ethanol extract of zinc oxide nanoparticles, and gentamicin antibiotics were tested on the isolates of Xanthomonas campesiris vesicatoria confirmed, by agar cup diffusion technique. Aqueous and ethanol extract of zinc oxide nanoparticles, and gentamicin antibiotics prepared in varied concentrations; 5 μg/mL, 2.5 μg/mL, 1.25 μg/mL in varying doubling dilutions were tested on Xanthomonas campesiris vesicatoria obtained, exhibited significant competitive antibacterial activity. The ethanol extract showed stronger antibacterial activity than the aqueous extract. Gentamicin, a broad-spectrum antibiotics exerted competitive anti bacterial activity at every dilutions. Growth of Xanthomonas campestris pv.vesicatoria, the etiologic agent of infective spot in tomato, was remarkably suppressed by zinc oxide nanoparticles as equally observed in gentamicin.

The effects of three substrates, namely oil palm fruit bunch (Elaeis guineensis) waste, sawdust of obeche (Triplochiton scleroxylon) and elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) straw on the spawn running period, number and weight of pin heads and carpophores, number of flushes and biological efficiency (BE) of Pleurotus ostreatus var. florida were studied. Growth experiments were carried out for the period of three months. Mycelial culture of the mushroom was prepared on potato dextrose agar. Seven day-old cultures of the mushrooms were inoculated on sorghum grain for spawn preparation. Spawned Oil palm bunch waste (OPBFW), sawdust (SD) and grass straw (EGS) were incubated till complete ramification in five replicates. P. ostreatus var florida produced three flushes on the substrates. Primordia took a longer time to emerge from the SD (14 days) than on OPFBW (5days) and EGS (3 days) at p=0.05. The mushroom had significantly shortest spawn run period of 8 days on OPFBW but the lowest biological efficiency (BE) of 4.38%. EGS took 12 days with BE 13.32% and SD in day 30 with BE of 26.72% at p=0.05. Sawdust best supported the growth of the mushroom followed by EGS, making them good substrates for P. ostreatus var. florida cultivation.

Published: May 2024

A comparative study of pollen morphological characters of 19 species of Combretaceae from Nigeria was undertaken with a view to obtaining additional characters for adequate identification and classification of the taxa. Pollen samples were acetolysed and investigated under light microscope. Hierarchical cluster analysis was employed to show the similarities and affinity among the Combretaceae species based on pollen-morphological features. All the species studied were monads, small to medium sized, radially symmetrical, heterocolpate with three simple apertures alternating with three composites. The exine showed various sculpturing patterns in all the taxa studied, namely, micro-rugulate, reticulate, scabrate, striate and psilate. The pollen size ranged from 10 to 50 μm. The largest pollen size (42.68 × 38.17 μm) was recorded in C. platypterum and the smallest one (14.75×15.05 μm) in C. sordidum. The species had prolate, sub-prolate and oblate-spheroidal pollen shapes. The dendrogram and bi-plot revealed nested grouping of the Quisqualis species within Combretum sub-genus Cacoucia. Palynomorphological characters of the studied species are considered highly diagnostic at the generic and specific levels. Therefore, pollen morphological data provide diagnostic information for differentiating Combretum platypterum and C. racemosum, C. zenkeri, C. smeathmannii, C. sordidum, Terminalia catappa and T. mantaly, which are morphologically similar species.
Isolation and identification of fungal pathogens of post-harvest rot of tomato fruit in Biu Markets, Biu Local Government Area of Borno State
Authors: Kabiru S. M. , Yusuf S. S.
Published: May 2024

Tomato is considered as the most important vegetable crop in the world after potato. However, production losses in post-harvest tomato are caused by damages that occur during harvesting, handling which are caused by various micro-organisms, the most destructive of which are fungi and bacteria. Survey for incidence and severity of post-harvest rot of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) was conducted in three different markets in Biu Local Government Area of Borno State. All the data obtained were analysed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the means were separated using the least significant difference (LSD). Biu main market showed rot incidence of 89 %; General hospital market had rot incidence of 87 % and Lashe money market had the highest percentage rot incidence of 90%. Eight fungal species were isolated and identified as Aspergillus flavus, Basidiobolus ranarum, Bipolaris spicifera, Chaetomium globosum, Mallesezia furfur, Nigrospera sphaerica, Rhizopus microsporous and Rhizopus oryzae. The most frequent fungus was Rhizopus microsporus (23.10 %). The pathogenicity test carried out showed Chaetomium globosum, Mallesezia furfur and Rhizopus oryzae were the most virulent of the other test organisms, with the highest mean rot percentage (73 %). Based on the findings in this study, it is recommended that further research be carried out on the effect of fungal infection on the nutritional value of tomato fruits and to reduce fungal pathogens infection by genetically engineering the tomato fruits to produce thick exocarp.
The different roles of liquidity and capital in preventing financial crises: insights from a Post-Keynesian model
Authors: Docherty Peter
Published: May 2024

This paper extends the Post-Keynesian analysis of bank regulation by using a small-scale macro model with banking to examine the operation of macroprudential regulation for the prevention of financial crises. Macroprudential regulation operates in this model by affecting bank funding costs, the pricing of bank loans, demand for assets, and asset price inflation. Because this type of regulation targets asset bubbles directly, it constitutes a better instrument than monetary policy for addressing the build-up of systemic risk without the negative consequences that higher interest rates have for income distribution. It is shown that capital requirements are an effective instrument of such macroprudential policy but that tighter liquidity requirements work in the wrong direction. It is argued, however, that liquidity has an important defensive role to play in prudential regulation by reducing the likelihood of depositor withdrawals when bubbles burst or some other shock reduces the value of bank loans.
Theorising non-bank financial intermediation
Authors: Michell Jo
Published: May 2024

The expansion of non-bank financial intermediation (NBFI) presents a challenge for monetary theories which emphasise the macroeconomic significance of commercial bank lending. The heterodox literature which has emerged since the 2008 crisis falls roughly into two categories: a Post-Keynesian circuitist analysis and a political economy analysis influenced by Mehrling’s ‘money view’. Within this literature, debates on the importance and structure of monetary hierarchies, the determination of the unit of account, categorisation of instruments based on monetary functions, and the interaction between the state and the private sector reflect wider questions about how to theorise NBFI. This article argues that the participants of both sides of these debates insufficiently recognise the extent to which the so-called NBFI is integrated with the commercial banking system. Monetary theory has long recognised the significance of banking activities such as liability management, discounting of securities, and economising on settlement balances. Much NBFI can be understood as an extension of these commercial banking activities. Some areas of tension between theoretical approaches are then shown to reflect differences in emphasis rather than deeper divergence.

Published: May 2024

Objectives: This study aimed to extend the literature by analyzing immunoglobulin (Ig) A, IgE, IgG, IgG2, IgG3, and IgM antibody levels in periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and cervical adenitis (PFAPA) patients.

Patients and methods: This study retrospectively analyzed the antibody test results of 20 pediatric patients (10 males, 10 females; mean age: 2.5±1.5 years; range, 0.5 to 5.4 years) with and without flare who were initially evaluated for a number of underlying diseases due to periodic fever/infectious symptoms but then diagnosed with PFAPA between January 2015 and December 2020. Antibody levels were determined by chemiluminescence microparticle immunoassay. The results were retrospectively compared with a group of healthy children after the PFAPA diagnosis was confirmed.

Results: The chemiluminescence microparticle immunoassay revealed 35%, 65%, 20%, 86.6%, and 55% of PFAPA cases with low serum levels of IgA, IgG, IgG2, IgG3, and IgM respectively, while 56.2% had high IgE levels. Moreover, low serum levels of at least two antibody classes or subclasses were reported in 80% of the PFAPA children. While cases with low IgG serum levels were with the highest incidence rates among the low IgG3 PFAPA patient population, both high IgE and low IgM cases were common in the rest of the patients.

Conclusion: Our results suggest an association between PFAPA and low serum antibody levels, particularly of IgG3. Future studies are needed to confirm our conclusion.
Unmet needs in psoriatic arthritis, a narrative review
Authors: Lopez-Medina Clementina , Kalyoncu Umut , Gossec Laure
Published: May 2024

Psoriatic arthritis is a chronic rheumatic disease that poses challenges in its diagnosis, evaluation, and management. The heterogeneity in the manifestations and the absence of definitive diagnosis biomarkers often complicates the process of accurate diagnosis. Furthermore, the involvement of multiple disease domains poses difficulties in assessing disease activity and defining the concept of remission. Despite therapeutic advancements, a subset of patients remains refractory to treatment, leading to the emergence of the concept of “difficult-to-treat” patients and the necessity for novel therapeutic approaches (e.g., drugs with novel mechanisms of action; combinations of treatments). This review addresses key unmet needs in psoriatic arthritis, in terms of diagnosis, classification, evaluation, comorbidities and treatment.
Designing a Framework for Automated Essay Grading using Recurrent Neural Networks and Natural Language Processing: A Systematic Review
Authors: Dr J.Keziya Rani
Published: May 2024

In the educational system, grading is critical in determining student achievement. Individual assessments are used in the present evaluation system. As the ratio between teacher and student is increasing regularly, the human (manual) evaluation system becomes complex. The disadvantage of manual supervision is that it takes more time and is less reliable. This online examination technique originated as a replacement for pen and paper-based approaches. The current computer-based assessment method only operates for multiple-choice questions (MCQs); there is no mechanism for evaluating essays or short replies. Until recently, grading an essay by taking into account all characteristics such as the relevance of the material to the topic, progression of thoughts, coherence, and logic has been a significant difficulty. Many academics concentrated on content-based evaluation, whereas many others concentrated on style-based interpretation. After conducting a thorough literature study and reviewing the Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms used to assess autonomous essay grading, the limits of current studies and research trends were examined. After implementing LSTM (Long Short Term Memory – a type of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN)) and Natural Language Processing (NLP), we obtained testing accuracy of 90% of the generated system, which may be raised by raising the frequency of epochs and incorporating more layers / nodes to the present system. The experimentations are done in python using Tensorflow and Keras Libraries.

Authors: Wuhan Jessica
Published: May 2024

This research highlights the crucial role of design in tracing cultural transformation and its implications for national identity, particularly in the context of Indonesia-China bilateral relations. Design, as a reflection of culture, embodies the values, beliefs, and aesthetics of a nation. The objectives of this research are to (1) explore the role of design in cultural transformation, (2) analyze the influence of bilateral relations on design, (3) assess national identity in design, (4) identify design innovations for cultural diplomacy, and (5) investigate cultural dissemination through design. This study employs a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through literature review, document analysis, and in-depth interviews with design experts, cultural scholars, and government officials from Indonesia and China. The results reveal that bilateral relations between Indonesia and China have led to significant cultural transformations in design. Cultural exchange and design collaboration have produced innovative works that incorporate elements from both countries. This transformation has influenced the national identities of both countries by strengthening the sense of unity, increasing tolerance and intercultural understanding, and creating new opportunities for cultural diplomacy and bilateral cooperation. The conclusion of this research is that design is not only a tool to reflect culture but also a bridge to strengthen cooperation and understanding between cultures. In the context of Indonesia-China relations, design holds great potential to build a more harmonious and inclusive future for both nations.

Published: May 2024

In the present article I present some activities carried out with a multinational group of ballet artist and dancer and coach students in theoretical subjects, e.g. Hungarian Culture or Dance in Home Country. The students regularly shared their newly constructed knowledge with their peers and instructor through products created on various digital platforms. In line with novel intercultural teaching methodology, building trust by offering choices in topics or presentation forms was a key element. The long-term goals were to provide students with a sense of belonging to a universal human culture through practical experiences and extracurricular activities related to intercultural themes (e.g., traditional dances, music, cuisine, sights). The use of ICT tools, which are today indispensable, has provided opportunities for creativity. The present article is a best practice report on the experiences gained while teaching groups of students from senior grades, systematically reversing the roles of educator and student in class. The results of the student-instructor role reversal are: maximum student engagement, development of collaboration, research skills, critical thinking and creativity, and application of skills through cultural information exchange.

The purpose of this research was to examine the impact of the global value chain on multidimensional poverty in Nigeria. An empirical evaluation of the study was conducted spanning a duration of thirty-three years, specifically from 1990 to 2022. The backward GVC participation index, the forward GVC participation index, and the total GVC participation index served as surrogates for the global value chain, whereas the multidimensional poverty index was utilized as a proxy for multidimensional poverty. The research employed annual time series data primarily obtained from the World Bank’s World Development Indicators (WDI) and the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). The employed methods for data analysis consist of the Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) statistic, the Bounds Cointegration test, the Correlation Matrix, and the ARDL approach. The findings from the unit root test indicated that the variables exhibited mixed stationarity. Specifically, I(0) and I(1). The results of the bounds cointegration test indicated that the multidimensional poverty index, the backward GVC participation index, the forward GVC participation index, and the total GVC participation index are all related in the long term. Last but not least, the backward GVC participation index, forward GVC participation index, and total GVC participation index have a negative and statistically significant short-term and long-term impact on the multidimensional poverty index in Nigeria, according to the ARDL results. The study’s conclusions, derived from its findings, indicate that the global value chain significantly contributes to the mitigation of multidimensional poverty in Nigeria. It was suggested, among other things, that in order to alleviate poverty, the government should intensify policy measures to further strengthen the business and regulatory environment so that domestic firms and globally successful transnational corporations would be enticed to invest in GVC.
Anesthetic Management of a Patient with Klippel-Feil Syndrome for Laparoscopic Pelvic Surgery: A Case Report
Authors: Chua, MD Criselle C. , Cruz, MD Mark Andrew B.
Published: May 2024

Klippel-Feil Syndrome (KFS) continues to pose significant challenges for anesthesiologists. Beyond the expected complexities of managing difficult airways in these patients, they often present with systemic anomalies that can elevate the risk of morbidity during surgeries conducted under anesthesia. Furthermore, laparoscopic procedures bring about additional physiologic changes that must be taken into consideration when planning the anesthetic care for these individuals.
This report details the anesthetic management of a 29-year-old female diagnosed with Klippel-Feil Syndrome (KFS) and concomitant Müllerian duct aplasia-Renal agenesis-Cervicothoracic Somite dysplasia (MURCS) as well as Chiari Type 1 Malformation, who underwent a successful pelvic laparoscopic surgery. The airway was secured through awake fiberoptic-guided intubation while general anesthesia was maintained with a combination of sevoflurane inhalation and remifentanil infusion. Intraoperatively, the team prioritized neuroprotection, lung-protective ventilation strategies, and renal preservation measures.
The anesthetic management of patients with KFS necessitates a comprehensive assessment of their anomalies. Incorporating these considerations into the anesthetic management will help mitigate the procedure's adverse effects and lead to favorable patient outcomes.
Patient-controlled Analgesia with Remifentanil in a Parturient with Ankylosing Spondylitis and SARS-CoV-2 Infection: A Case Report
Authors: Villa, MD Dominic D. , Suarez, MD Christine Grace A. , Nuñez, MD Jeffrey Paolo M.
Published: May 2024

Parturients with both ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and SARS-CoV-2 Infection (COVID-19) present unique challenges to anesthesiologists. Neuraxial analgesia for labor remains the gold standard in obstetric patients. However, in patients with AS, this approach may be deemed difficult to impossible. Administration of systemic opioids for labor analgesia can be an option, bearing in mind the potential respiratory depressant effect to both the mother and the fetus, especially in the setting of concomitant COVID-19. This paper reports the successful management of such a patient using patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with intravenous remifentanil.
Anesthesia Spearheading Perioperative Safety Efforts in a Patient with Inclusion Body Myositis: A Case Report
Authors: Aspi, MD Maria Teresita B. , Arancon, MD, MBA Anne Kay Colleen V.
Published: May 2024

Anesthesiologists have been at the forefront of initiatives addressing perioperative patient safety. As anesthesia has no direct therapeutic benefit, its risk must be minimized. At times the surgery is simple but the patient’s condition complicates anesthetic management, increasing the risk for complications. This report describes the anesthetic management of an adult patient diagnosed with inclusion body myositis (IBM), a rare inflammatory degenerative myopathy, who initially presented with decreased motor function in both lower and upper extremities causing him to be bedbound for two years. Due to the progression of his disease, he eventually developed dysphagia, hence he was scheduled for esophagoscopy, cricopharyngeal Botox injection, and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy. As patients with IBM are at risk for exaggerated sensitivity to neuromuscular blockers and respiratory compromise, anesthesia was at the helm of a multidisciplinary team approach. The perioperative management centered on preoperative optimization, prevention of aspiration, avoidance of anesthetics that may trigger malignant hyperthermia, and prevention of postoperative pulmonary complication. The hospital course was uncomplicated and the patient was discharged well after one day. This report emphasizes how improvements in resources, technology, and healthcare delivery, especially in anesthesia, help prevent perioperative adverse events.
