Fine-Tuning CNN-BiGRU for Intrusion Detection with SMOTE Optimization Using Optuna
Authors: BENCHAMA Asmaa , ZEBBARA Khalid
Published: July 2024

Network security faces a significant challenge in developing effective models for intrusion detection within network systems. Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) are vital for protecting network traffic and preempting potential attacks by identifying signatures and rule violations.
This research aims to enhance intrusion detection using Deep learning techniques, particularly by employing the NSLKDD dataset to train and evaluate a hybrid CNN-BiGRU algorithm. Additionally, we utilize the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) to address imbalanced data and Optuna for fine-tuning the algorithm's parameters specific to NIDS requirements.
The hybrid CNN-BiGRU algorithm is trained and evaluated on the NSLKDD dataset, incorporating SMOTE to tackle imbalanced data issues. Optuna is utilized to optimize the algorithm's parameters for improved performance in intrusion detection.
Experimental results demonstrate that our approach surpasses classical intrusion detection models. Achieving an accuracy rate of 98,83 % on NSLKDD, the proposed model excels in identifying minority attacks while maintaining a low false positive rate.
The findings affirm the efficacy of our proposed approach in network intrusion detection, showcasing its ability to effectively discern patterns in network traffic and outperform traditional models

La organización tecnológica y los sistemas de aprovisionamiento lítico constituyen fenómenos relevantes para la comprensión de las dinámicas socioeconómicas de comunidades prehispánicas. Pese a su importancia, su abordaje ha sido escaso en el norte semiárido y particularmente en la cuenca del río Copiapó. Todo lo anterior redunda en un conocimiento aún insuficiente de los sistemas de asentamiento y movilidad, así como de la organización socioespacial y económica de las comunidades que habitaron este territorio y de sus cambios a través del tiempo. En este trabajo presentamos los resultados de estudios sistemáticos enmarcados en la arqueología de impacto ambiental que dan cuenta de extensas áreas de aprovisionamiento lítico en los interfluvios al sur y al norte del río Copiapó. Con este avance, se busca contribuir tanto a la comprensión de las lógicas de abastecimiento de materias primas en la zona como de las trayectorias históricas de las poblaciones prehispánicas de la región.

Authors: Dr. Sandeep Yadav & Dr. Ashutosh Birla
Published: July 2024

Any state's social growth is characterized by the improvement of resource and human connections. The socioeconomic level of the state is determined by factors like regional development, education, health, access to clean water, transportation and communication, electricity, etc. As a result, social facilities serve as the benchmark for measuring and assessing regional growth. Studying the state of social infrastructure in a developing nation like India becomes vital to assess the rising prosperity and welfare work in that region or region. In terms of social work, Hindoli tehsil ranks behind other tehsils of Rajasthan. The extension of social services has been extremely slow in comparison to the rate of agricultural growth and employment opportunities in this area. Different areas of the tehsil have had varying rates of economic development in accordance with their geographical characteristics. The development of social infrastructures like educational institutions, health services, all weather roads, electrification, drinking water facilities, communication services, etc. is as a result conspicuously uneven. The research report under assessment makes recommendations for the correct, expansion of social facilities in the tehsil.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) have revolutionised the management of chronic hepatitis C. We analysed the use of different generations of DAAs over time in Switzerland and investigated factors predictive of treatment failure.
METHODS: This retrospective study was conducted within the framework of the Swiss Association for the Study of the Liver and the Swiss Hepatitis C Cohort Study; it included all patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with DAAs between January 2015 and December 2019 at eight Swiss referral centres.
RESULTS: A total of 3088 patients were included; 57.3% were male, and the median age was 54 years. Liver cirrhosis was present in 23.9% of the cohort, 87.8% of whom were compensated. The overall sustained virological response (SVR) rate (defined as undetectable HCV RNA at week 12 after the first course of DAA-based treatment) was 96.2%, with an increase over time. The rate of treatment failure dropped from 8.3% in 2015 to 2.5% in 2019. Multivariable analysis revealed that female sex, the use of the latest generation of pangenotypic DAA regimens, Caucasian origin, and genotype (gt) 1 were associated with SVR, whereas the presence of active hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), gt 3, and increasing liver stiffness were associated with treatment failure. Notably, the presence of active HCC during treatment increased the risk of DAA failure by a factor of almost thirteen.
CONCLUSIONS: SVR rates increased over time, and the highest success rates were identified after the introduction of the latest generation of pangenotypic DAA regimens. Active HCC, gt 3 and increasing liver stiffness were associated with DAA failure.
Asymmetric Impact of Russia–Ukraine War on Global Stock Markets
Authors: Joshipura Mayank , Lamba Ashu
Published: July 2024

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, emerged as Europe’s most significant military conflict post second world war, with global economic and geopolitical consequences. Using a broad (95-country) sample, the study examines the impact of the Russia–Ukraine war on global stock markets surrounding the war announcement. It applied the event study method and used short and long event windows to examine the war’s immediate and intermediate impacts. Global stock markets delivered negative 1.90% abnormal returns on the day of the war announcement, and Russia saw the biggest fall. However, after the initial adverse reaction, stock markets reacted asymmetrically. Stock markets of the countries in geographic proximity and high trade intensity with Russia and Ukraine, and net importers of energy and food grains negatively reacted more than the rest. The regional results show that Asia Pacific and Europe reported negative returns across event windows. In contrast, the Americas, Africa, and the Middle East did not react negatively, even in the shortest event window. Adverse war reactions moderated over time. Equity investors and portfolio managers who aim to protect their investments should buy stocks in countries that are net exporters of commodities made in war-torn countries and switch to stock markets geographically far from the war zone.

Published: July 2024

Betting markets on horse races have typically taken one of two forms: 1) a parimutuel pool, where prices are uncertain until the market is closed, or 2) a fixed-odds market, where prices are fixed at the time the bet is placed. I study a hybrid betting mar- ket where a pool is run side-by-side with a fixed-odds market, and the two are then combined to determine final pool prices. I find that the fixed-odds market is quicker to aggregate information, and produces comparatively efficient prices from the start of betting. Interim prices in the parimutuel pool are largely uninformative, but improve as betting progresses. The parimutuel pool in this hybrid market also serves two ad- ditional purposes. It allows bettors to avoid thin early trading, and also provides a mechanism for extracting information in late leftover quotes in the fixed-odds market.
HGB- versus IFRS-Rechnungslegung
Authors: Sossong Peter
Published: July 2024

Die IFRS sind in Überarbeitung. Mit dem Rahmenkonzept 2018, dem IFRS 9 und dem IFRS 15 wurden ganz zentrale Vorgaben vollständig neu geschaffen. Dies wirft Fragen auf. Zum einen ist fraglich, inwieweit die hergebrachte Zuschreibung, der beizulegende Zeitwert sei Kern und Markenzeichen der IFRS Rechnungslegung, (noch) zutrifft. Zum anderen stellt sich die ewig junge Frage nach der Abgrenzung und Bedeutungsgewichtung der beiden Jahreserfolgsgrößen „Gewinn oder Verlust“ und „sonstiges Ergebnis“. Diesen und weiteren Fragen geht das vorliegende Werk nach. Es enthält einen qualitativen Vergleich der Rechnungslegungsregeln des Handelsgesetzbuchs mit den zentralen Vorschriften der IFRS. Darüber hinaus ist eine ökonometrische Wertrelevanzstudie enthalten.
Betriebsverfassungsrechtliche Mitbestimmung und Mitwirkung bei Entscheidungszentrum und Informationsmonopol im Ausland
Authors: Jungbauer Vincent
Published: July 2024

Decisions relevant to labor law in international companies and groups are made abroad and information is monopolized accordingly. How is the co-determination and participation of works council committees in German sites structured in this case? This publication systematizes the current state of opinion and, for the first time, develops generally applicable guidelines that can be used to resolve all cases of a foreign decision-making center and information monopoly that are relevant under German works constitution law. As a lawyer specialized on labor law in a leading commercial law firm, the author has himself advised employers on several occasions in relevant cross-border cases.
Iran, Nuclear Weapons and International Law
Authors: Asada Masahiko
Published: July 2024

This book provides a concise account of 159-page long and extremely complicated Iran nuclear deal (formally known as the “Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action” or JCPOA), including the legal analysis of its main content, the legal meaning of President Trump’s withdrawal from it and its link to a Security Council resolution, which assures its legal and political survival. Despite such assurance, however, the JCPOA is destined to cease to exist if nothing is done before October 2025. The author has researched on international law of nuclear non-proliferation for more than 40 years. He is currently a member of the UN International Law Commission (ILC) and an associate member of the Institut de droit international (IDI).

Context: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a severe condition associated with SARS-CoV-2. The underlying reasons why some children develop MIS-C remain unclear. Objectives: To review and summarize the existing evidence about the epidemiological and clinical characteristics, laboratory findings, therapeutic management, and outcomes of patients with COVID-19-related MIS-C. Methods: This systematic review followed PRISMA guidelines. We searched PubMed and Google Scholar for studies on COVID-19 and MIS-C. Out of the 2026 research articles generated from our initial search on PubMed and Google Scholar on 20 December 2022, 44 met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. Data on demographics, clinical features, laboratory findings, treatment, and outcomes were extracted. Results: The median age of 7297 MIS-C patients was 8.6 years, with 59.2% being male. The most common symptoms were fever (98.7%), rash (55.2%), and conjunctivitis (52.8%). Obesity (27.1%) was the most prevalent comorbidity. Fifty percent of patients were admitted to pediatric intensive care; 631 received inotropes, and 374 required mechanical ventilation. Over 80% received IV immunoglobulin, and 77% received corticosteroids. Abnormal echocardiograms occurred in 77.5% of cases, with coronary artery aneurysms present in 18.5%. Most patients recovered, with a reported mortality rate of 1.7%. Conclusion: Despite the limitations, our systematic review provides valuable insights into the characteristics and management of MIS-C based on existing global literature. While a large number of patients required intensive care and various therapeutic interventions, favorable short-term outcomes were demonstrated in the majority of patients, with notably low mortality rates.

Published: July 2024

Background: Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), a new cancer treatment, have few side effects. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of AuNPs on oxidative stress in HCT-116 colon cancer cells. Methods: The viability of HCT-116 cells was evaluated using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2,5-diphenyl) tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay after 24 and 48 hours of incubation with different concentrations of AuNPs (0 - 50 μg/mL). The state of oxidative stress, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total oxidative status (TOS), reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and the activity of antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and catalase (CAT), were determined by colorimetric and fluorometric methods. Results: Oxidative stress parameters and ROS were significantly increased in cells treated with 25 and 50 μg/mL concentrations of AuNPs during 24 and 48 hours of incubation compared to control cells (P < 0.001). In contrast, the level of TAC and the activity of antioxidant enzymes SOD, GPX, and CAT were significantly decreased in the treated groups compared to the untreated cells after 48 hours of incubation (P < 0.05). Conclusions: This study showed that AuNPs affect HCT-116 cancer cells by increasing ROS and oxidative stress while reducing the activity of antioxidant enzymes.

Objetivo: Comparar las reconsultas al servicio de urgencias (SU) por asma durante la semana posterior al alta y explorar los factores asociados antes y después de la implementación de un protocolo asistencial.
Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio de cohorte retrospectivo que incluyó las consultas por crisis asmática de adultos al SU de un hospital universitario en los períodos 2016-2018 (preprotocolo) y 2019-2020 (posprotocolo). Se utilizó un modelo de regresión logística multivariado y se reportaron odds ratios (OR) e intervalos de confianza al 95 % (IC95%). Se consideró significativo un valor p < 0,05.
Resultados: Las reconsultas fueron 38 (31,40 %) para el período preprotocolo y 33 (26,61 %) para el período posprotocolo. En el modelo de regresión multivariable, no se encontraron diferencias en las reconsultas tempranas al comparar el período posprotocolo con el período preprotocolo (OR 0,68; IC95% 0,26-1,74; p=0,421). Los factores asociados a las reconsultas tempranas fueron la edad (OR: 1,02; IC95%:1,00-1,04; p=0,017), el sexo masculino (OR 0,21 IC95%: 0,08-0,59; p=0,003), y el haber tenido más de una consulta al SU en el último año (OR 6,19 IC95%: 2,48-15,46; p<0,001).
Conclusión: Aunque las reconsultas tempranas no disminuyeron luego de la aplicación del protocolo, se identificaron la edad y el haber tenido más de una visita al SU por asma dentro del último año como factores de riesgo para las reconsultas dentro de la semana, mientras que el sexo masculino resultó ser un factor protector.
