MITIGATING POISONING ATTACKS TO FEDERATED LEARNING IN IOTs ANOMALY DETECTION WITH ATTENTION AGGREGATION
Authors:   Le Quy Don Technical University, Vu Ly
Published: December 2024

Federated Learning (FL) is a privacy-preserving approach for training deep neural networks across decentralized devices without sharing raw data. Thus, FL has been popularly applied in domains like anomaly detection in Internet of Things (IoTs). However, IoT networks/ devices have limited protection capabilities, resulting in the vulnerability of FL to data poisoning attacks. In order to address this challenge, we propose a new robust FL system designed to counter data poisoning attacks. Our approach, named as Federated Learning with Attention Aggregation (FedAA), leverages AutoEncoder (AE) models for local anomaly detection in IoT networks. In FedAA, we design to aggregate the global model from local models using a novel aggregation method, named as Attention Aggregation (AA). This method is specifically designed to mitigate the impact of data poisoning attacks, which often lead to high values of the loss functions in the local models. More precisely, the local models with high loss values are assigned lower attention weights when contributing to the global model aggregation, and vice versa. As a result, the proposed AA method enhances the robustness of FedAA against data poisoning attacks. We have conducted extensive experiments on three datasets, i.e., N-BaIoT, NSL-KDD, and UNSW, of IoT anomaly detection. The results show that FedAA is more robust than other FL systems in mitigating data poisoning attacks.

Authors: Giyono  , Suyitno
Published: December 2024

This study aims to explain the importance of internalizing environmental values based on local wisdom in supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These values not only encourage environmental awareness, but also play a role in creating a balance between economic, social, and environmental aspects of sustainable development. The approach used in this study is descriptive qualitative, combining the author's opinions and experiences and supported by relevant secondary sources, such as literature and previous research. The results of the study indicate that local wisdom, through traditional practices such as community-based forest management and organic farming, supports ecosystem preservation and community empowerment in sustainable decision-making. Internalizing environmental values helps communities become more aware of the impact of human activities on the environment and more active in mitigating climate change and conserving natural resources. Based on these findings, it is recommended that environmental education and development policies better integrate local wisdom, to create more inclusive and sustainable development. This is important to ensure that the achievement of the SDGs does not only focus on economic growth but also ecosystem sustainability and social welfare.

Authors: Moruk Selviana , Sulisworo Dwi
Published: December 2024

Numerical literacy is a fundamental skill in early childhood education, influencing later academic performance and cognitive development. A growing body of research has identified several factors that contribute to the development of numeracy skills, including home learning environments, executive function, socio-emotional skills, and socio-economic status. Understanding these factors is crucial for developing effective interventions that support children’s numeracy growth, especially in elementary education. This literature review synthesizes findings from longitudinal studies published between 2010 and 2024, focusing on the impact of home numeracy environments, executive function, socio-emotional skills, and socio-economic factors on early numeracy development. A total of five studies, with sample sizes ranging from small cohorts to large national samples, were analyzed. These studies employed longitudinal designs, assessing children over multiple years to capture the development of numeracy skills from preschool through elementary education. The review highlights the critical role of home learning environments, parental education, and socio-emotional skills in shaping children’s numeracy development. It also identifies bidirectional associations between cognitive and emotional skills, underscoring the need for integrated approaches to numeracy instruction. Socio-economic status was found to indirectly impact numeracy development, with home literacy and numeracy environments mediating this relationship. Long-term effects of early home-based learning on arithmetic fluency were also observed, emphasizing the importance of fostering supportive environments early in education. This review concludes that targeted interventions in home environments, as well as strategies that integrate cognitive and socio-emotional support, can significantly enhance numerical literacy outcomes in elementary education. Further research is needed to address gaps in understanding how these factors interact across diverse cultural and socio-economic contexts.

Authors: Maidyrov Yerdan , Zhalmukhamedov Emil , Perez Hernández Salma , Díaz Valencia Luis
Published: December 2024

Coronary heart disease (CHD) has well-known risk factors. The prevalence and impact of these mainly depend on people's lifestyles, geography, as well as racial and ethnic predispositions, among other factors. The objective of this study is to compare the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors among different European and Asian ethnic groups of patients in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The data from 1628 patients diagnosed with coronary angiography for coronary heart disease (CHD) were investigated. SPSS software was used for statistical processing, employing the Kruskal-Wallis test and Chi-square test. The number of patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome was 743, and the number of planned patients with stable angina was 885. Approximately 60% of the patients were conditionally categorized as Asians and 40% as Europeans. The gender composition of both groups was dominated by men. There is a general trend towards planned hospitalization in the Asian group (62% vs. 56%, p=0.009). For the specificity of Asian groups, the most significant risk factors were male gender, diabetes mellitus, and overweight. In the European group, the contribution of factors such as arterial hypertension and dyslipidemia (high LDL levels) were found to be more significant. The impact of smoking habits and family history were similar in both groups. In the European group, there was a greater tendency to hemodynamically significant coronary artery atherosclerosis compared to the Asian group (68 vs. 59%, p<0.001), which is hypothesized to be due to overdiagnosis, or the predominance of non-obstructive coronary heart disease in Asian population. Cardiovascular risk factors such as arterial hypertension and dyslipidemia were more prominent in the development of CHD among Europeans, while in Asians diabetes mellitus and being overweight contributed more significantly. Accordingly, it is the above modifiable risk factors that should be given more attention in the prevention and treatment of populations at risk of CHD in Kazakhstan.

Affective Reflection and Its Impact on Student Performance: Insights from the 1st Student Annual Seminar
Authors: Maulina
Published: December 2024

This study investigates how affective reflection affects students' performance when they present their papers at the first student annual seminar. Students who intentionally reflected on their feelings before, during, and following academic presentations engage in affective reflection. Using a qualitative methodology, the study used reflective journals to gather data from 20 student participants. The findings demonstrate that worry and the fear of making a mistake typically govern pre-presentation thinking, which either boosts or deflates students' self-esteem. Students' real-time emotional reactions, such as anxiety or enthusiasm, affect how they interact with the audience and present their material during the presentation. Reflections after a presentation show a significant relationship between emotional release and the capacity to evaluate one's performance objectively, pinpoint strengths, and pinpoint areas in need of development. Besides, encouraging affective reflection as a component of academic preparation can significantly improve student performance by elevating emotional consciousness and self-control.

Authors: Mwambela Able
Published: December 2024

The effective management of human resources is paramount for achieving organizational performance at various operational levels.  The oversight of human resources can significantly disadvantage an organization.  This research aims to scrutinize the influence of recruitment and selection as a Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) component on organizational performance.  The study encompassed 169 managers from profit-making organizations in Zambia and employed a quantitative approach to gather data through a structured questionnaire.  The questionnaire was structured into three parts: the first part gathered demographic data, the second part collected information about SHRM practices, and the third part obtained data relating to organizational performance.  A study was conducted on 169 managers from various organizations using a stratified random sampling method.  The findings confirmed the reliability of the data collection tool.  Notably, the study revealed that managers placed the highest importance on incentives and rewards as factors influencing excellence, followed by recruitment and selection, formal performance appraisal, and with the least emphasis on career development.  According to the study, there is a significant correlation between Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) components and organizational performance.  This includes the revenue growth rate, return on equity, return on assets, and overall profitability (p < 0.01).  Therefore, the study suggests that organizations should align their SHRM strategy with other activities that lead to improved performance, especially in the recruitment process, as it directly impacts the organization's products.  The study concludes that Strategic HRM practices are crucial in driving organizational performance and should be integrated with overall business strategies and operations to maximize benefits.

Authors: Burgan Taha A. , Moammer Saleh F. , Aghanaya Mahfoud Z. , Khair Ali A.
Published: December 2024

Five PVT correlations including bubble point pressure, solution gas-oil ratio, oil formation volume factor, dead oil viscosity, and oil density were used to analyze a total of 102 data sets from the Libyan crude oil reservoirs representing Sirte, Ghdames, Murzug, and offshore Tripolitania basins, to find a new more accurate correlation. Linear & nonlinear regression and statistical software packages (Excel, Minitab, and Mat lab software) were applied to the above-mentioned crude samples. The application of multilinear regression and statically software on the solution gas, oil ratio, temperature, and API gravity, exhibit a direct proportionality with the bubble point, whereas in the case of gas gravity, the correlation shows inversely proportionality with the bubble point. The relationships between the solution gas oil and other properties show that the distribution of the tested points in these investigations are located very close to the 45° trend line fourth solution gas oil ratio, indicating that the correlations have higher accuracy with our newly developed PVT equations for the analyzed Libyan crude oil samples. The cross plots between measured vs. calculated oil formation factor, dead oil viscosity, and oil density play a very good reliable correlation compared with previously published correlations done by other researchers as well as in the statistical calculation, in addition, the AARE and R2 results were calculated for previous published correlation in different locations over the world. Based on the obtained results in this research, the proposed correlations are more accurate than all the other previously published correlations, exclusively for Libyan crude oil.

Entrepreneurship educators play a critical role in fostering innovation and creativity within higher education institutions. This study explores the relationship between self-leadership and innovative behavior among entrepreneurship educators, with mindfulness serving as a mediating factor. Self-leadership, characterized by self-regulation, intrinsic motivation, and goal-setting, is essential for entrepreneurship educators to effectively guide students and promote an innovative learning environment. Simultaneously, innovative behavior involves generating, promoting, and realizing new ideas that can enhance educational practices. Recent studies suggest that mindfulness, defined as a heightened awareness and attention to the present moment, can enhance individuals' self-leadership capabilities and foster a conducive environment for innovation. This research adopts a quantitative approach, surveying entrepreneurship educators from various higher learning institutions in Malaysia. A structural equation modeling (SEM) method is employed to examine the direct relationship between self-leadership and innovative behavior and the mediating role of mindfulness. Preliminary findings suggest that self-leadership positively influences innovative behavior, with mindfulness significantly mediating this relationship. The implications of this research are critical for higher education policymakers and educators seeking to enhance innovative pedagogical practices in entrepreneurship education. By integrating self-leadership development and mindfulness practices, institutions can better equip educators with the skills and mindset necessary to drive innovation in their teaching methods. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on self-leadership and mindfulness, offering new insights into how these constructs can jointly enhance innovative behavior among entrepreneurship educators.

Legal politics in Indonesia has an important role in determining the direction of the formation and implementation of regulations. Article 18 paragraph 4 of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia confirms that regional heads are elected democratically, reflecting the principles of popular sovereignty in the regional government system. This research aims to analyze the dynamics of legal politics related to regional head elections, identify the challenges faced, and provide recommendations for the necessary legal political reforms. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a literature study, which includes an analysis of various legal sources, previous research, and political theories related to local democracy. The results show that although democratic local elections have been implemented, there are various challenges that hinder the effectiveness and integrity of the process. Issues such as the high cost of politics, the practice of money politics, and horizontal conflicts in the community are significant obstacles. In addition, the relationship between politics and law is often intertwined, creating uncertainty in electoral policy. In conclusion, to strengthen a transparent and accountable local government system, comprehensive reforms in local election regulations, increased monitoring of political funding, and public political education are needed. With these steps, it is expected that regional autonomy can run more effectively and in accordance with constitutional values.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different doses of Lactobacillus casei probiotics on the survival rate of climbing perch (Anabas testudineus Bloch) larvae. The research was conducted at the researcher’s residence for 10 days, using aquariums measuring 40 x 25 x 25 cm filled with 15 liters of water. The papuyu fish larvae used had a length ranging from 3 to 5 cm, with 10 fish per aquarium. The study employed an experimental method with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of three treatments and three replicates. The treatments involved spraying 1 ml, 2 ml, and 4 ml doses of Lactobacillus casei probiotics on commercial feed. The results showed that the survival rate of climbing perchlarvae was 100% across all treatments. Water quality parameters such as pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and ammonia remained within tolerable limits for the fish throughout the study. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that varying doses of Lactobacillus casei probiotics did not significantly affect the survival rate of climbing perchlarvae.
