Traffic Light Controller using Image Processing
Authors: Et. al. Lakshmanan M,
Published: April 2021

Traffic congestion at junctions is a serious issue on a daily basis. The prevailing traffic light controllers are unable to manage the different traffic flows. Most of the current systems operate on a timing mechanism that changes the signal after a particular interval of time. This may cause frustration and result in motorist's time waste. Traffic congestion is a major problem in the currently existing systems. Delays, safety, parking, and environmental problems are the main issues of current traffic systems that emit smoke and contribute to increasing Global Warming. Sensor-based systems reduce the waiting time and maximize the total number of vehicles that can cross an intersection. Our proposed system can control the traffic lights based on image processing without the need for traffic police. This can reduce congestion, delay, road accidents, need for manpower. Under image processing, we use sub techniques like RGB to Gray conversion, Image resizing, Image Enhancement, Edge detection, Image matching, and Timing allocation. A real-time image is captured for every 1 second. After edge detection procedure for both reference and real-time images, these images are compared using SURF Algorithm. Then the amount of traffic is detected and the details are stored in the server. Arduino is used for a traffic signal in the hardware part. It consists of a Wi-Fi module. The micro-controller used in the system Arduino. Four cameras are placed on respective roads and these cameras are used to capture images to analyze traffic density. Then the traffic signals are decided according to the density of traffic. Our technique can be effective to combat traffic on Indian Roads. A lot of time can be saved by deploying this system and also it conserves a lot of resources as well as the economy

Novel Approach to detect Anomalies using Defensive Algorithm in SDN flows
Authors: Et. al. Sugandhi Midha,
Published: April 2021

The exponential growth of network users has to lead to poor management of networks that use the traditional networking approach. Traditional networking approaches have become an overhead in terms of flexibility, innovations, complexity, and programmability among the network. SDN guarantees a holistic approach to network flexibility and programmability. Network visibility in SDN gives scope for rapid innovation. SDN being a new paradigm, less work has been done towards security. Security is one of the biggest concerns in SDN. Separation of control and data plane in SDN has to lead to the emergence of Denial of Service (DoS) attack. The centralized controller in SDN makes it the best target for attackers and acts as a single point of failure. Attacks on the SDN controller can bring the entire network down. This paper presents an approach to monitor traffic and we propose a novel method to mitigate these anomalies and attacks in the network. We believe that the DoS attack can be toned down using this new technique.

Dimensioning UX Models for Design and Evaluation
Authors: Et.al Azham Hussain
Published: April 2021

This paper attemptsto find out the available dimensions of user experience models in extant literature. The study observed that there are numeroususer experience models with a number of dimensions. This notwithstanding, there appears to be no concordamong practitioners and researchers on the dimensioning of UX models. The reason for lack of consensus is due tounderlying nature of user experience which signifies that UX should be structured and dimensioned differently dependent on the context and domain of use. Seemingly every experience is particularly unique and is situated in time and context, thus making the dimensioning of UX to vary and differ. A close look at prior literature indicate that several user experience models exist but their dimensions are however not comprehensive enough for a holistic design and evaluation of digital applications experiences. To this end, this study proposed a set of dimensions for interactive systems that will aid a more comprehensive and holistic design and evaluation of the user experience of interactive applications.

Idioms are rich multi-word expressions that can be found in many works of literature. The meaning of most idioms cannot be deduced literally. This makes translating idioms challenging. Moreover, the parallel text that contains idioms is limited. As a result, machine translation has difficulty in translating idioms correctly. Paraphrasing is a process to restate the meaning of a text or a passage using different words in the same language. Often, paraphrasing is used to give readers a clearer understanding of the original text. Paraphrasing can be used to assist machine translation in translating idioms. In this article, we attempted to improve the translation of idioms using paraphrasing. An approach that combine paraphrasing and rescoring with machine translation is proposed. The paraphrasing and rescoring improve the translation produced by neural machine translation from 12.03% to 12.92%.

With the present and advances in information and communication technology (ICT), sharing knowledge across organisations has become easier and feasible. However, knowledge sharing has been a complex phenomenon over the years and identifying factors that influence knowledge sharing (KS) across organisation has becomes crucial and critical in the recent days. This paper review the effect of culture and behavioural differences as a human factors and the knowledge management practices needed to improve KS in organisations. Data were collected from 7 experts and 50 personnel by questionnaire. The result from the statistical data analysis revealed 15.67 and 3.96 as variance and standard deviation on culture respectively. The variance on behaviour is 8 and its standard deviation is 2.83, this indicate weakness in KS therefore, there is a presence of non- sharing culture and behaviour that discourage knowledge sharing. The findings from this pilot study suggest that, a centralised knowledge management structure without effective human practice towards its policies of sharing, coordination and distribution of knowledge in the context of knowledge management towards knowledge sharingmight fail. For organisation to avoid knowledge holding (KH) and knowledge risk (KR), a mechanism like knowledge sharing strategic implementation plan (KSSIP) can be used as a solution.

A typical apartment in Malaysia, especially in urban areas such as Selangor and Kuala Lumpur, is usually categorized as a low-cost residential building. Commonly, to distinguish its classification in the aggressive apartment sector, maintenance management is key to enhancing its market value. Therefore, this study focuses on building apartment maintenance through user satisfaction in the Kajang region, Selangor. Among its research objective is to identify the maintenance team's critical challenges in a low-cost apartment. The research engaged the quantitative and qualitative approaches, where questionnaire surveys were distributed to forty-three (43) respondents and interview sessions with six (6) experts. The research findings illustrated that the current maintenance level was dissatisfactory due to a low maintenance level, reflected through the number of occupants’ complaints about the facilities, maintenance aspects, and obvious building defects. A limited number of workers and a lack of maintenance period for building services were consistently the chief culprits for the maintenance team's poor performance. Hence, overcoming these critical challenges would effectively improve the environment in a low-cost apartment building.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution and Gender Inequality in Nigeria: Education and Empowerment of Women in Focus
Authors: Olatokun Ganiat Mobolaji
Published: April 2021

This paper focuses on gender inequality in the area of education and empowerment of women in Nigeria. This has become significant in this time of novel global wealth coming with the Fourth Industrial Revolution (FIR). It was discovered through a doctrinal research that, Nigeria, aside from having many national legislations on gender equality, is also a signatory to major international human rights instruments on gender equality. However, the workability of these legal frameworks has remained doubtful as there are wide range of gender inequalities which makes it difficult for Nigerian women to achieve their full potentials. Intellectually, higher number of Nigerian men goes to school than women. It follows from here that, men in Nigeria are undoubtedly gainfully employed than the women. Women in Nigeria are often circumscribed to low-paying and very repetitive jobs. In view of this realization, there is every possibility of increased and massive inequality and unemployment as robots seems ready to replace the women work force in Nigeria. Hence, the researcher asks the question as to; how relevant will Nigerian women be in the area of education and empowerment in this time of FIR, despite the presence of the law? This paper argues that the legal framework on gender equality in Nigeria are mere cosmetological set up, which had not impacted on equality between women and men, despite the Women in Development theory (WID), which has been made part and parcel of the legal framework. The paper fears that if these inequality persists, there will be no place for Nigerian women in the FIR. Concerted efforts are required on the part of the government of Nigeria to see to the workability of the laws on gender equality so as to make women relevant in the FIR. It is in the light of the far-reaching implications of this that the makes recommendations.
