Accelerated Anti-Malware Scans: Distributed Caching of Hashes for Frequently Used Files
Authors:   USA, Ramaswamy Mithilesh
Published: December 2024

This paper presents an approach to improving the efficiency of anti-malware scans by leveraging a distributed caching mechanism for hashes of frequently
used files. The proposed system reduces redundant scanning of commonly used files by maintaining a cache of their cryptographic hashes, distributed
across the network. The caching system includes a mechanism to identify frequently accessed files, dynamically update the cache, and invalidate outdated
entries. Furthermore, this paper discusses the types of files best suited for this approach, focusing on scenarios where performance gains are most impactful.
Additionally, we discuss the secure hash algorithms used, their performance characteristics, and how to handle risks of hash collisions. The proposed method
is particularly effective in enterprise and cloud environments, where redundant scanning of shared resources can significantly affect system performance.

The student said, “Oh, that is why we learned that!”. The student that sparked this research admitted that as she went through the program she often
thought, “why are we learning this? I cannot see utilizing this in my everyday job.” In academia today, we often treat the clinical or practicum experience
as a separate component of the learning. Some schools even front load the content so they do all of the experiential learning after the classroom portion is
over. Experiential learning works best when the learner can connect what they see and hear in the classroom to what they are actually seeing and doing in
the field. There are a number of ways to bring the two worlds together. One program did just that and based on findings, the students felt better prepared
for the job after graduation. The element of the unknow was removed. Students reported feeling more prepared for their new career and were able to fully
grow during the orientation.
Pavement Materials for Adapting Climate Change
Authors: Amirthu Rikaa S  , Karthikaa M  , Eunice J
Published: December 2024

Pavement materials that minimize water infiltration are essential in addressing performance issues caused by temperature and moisture fluctuations, which often lead to cracking, rutting and other forms of degradation. To combat these challenges, innovative materials and climate-responsive pavement designs have been developed, incorporating recycling methods and region-specific mix designs to withstand climatic stresses and reduce maintenance costs. Porous pavements are particularly effective in managing climate-related challenges. Engineered to allow water infiltration, they reduce surface runoff, mitigate urban flooding and enhance road safety. In high-rainfall areas, their permeable structure lowers risks such as hydroplaning and surface water accumulation. In colder regions, they minimize freeze-thaw damage by facilitating water drainage which helps prevent ice formation and reduces pavement cracking. The inclusion of polymers and fibers in these materials enhances their strength, durability and lifespan. Additionally, porous pavements contribute to urban cooling through evaporative processes, mitigating the urban heat island effect. They also support groundwater recharge, aligning with sustainable water management practices. By decreasing maintenance needs and environmental impact, porous pavements play a vital role in creating climate-resilient infrastructure that promotes urban safety and sustainability while conserving resources.

Authors: A. Baranidharan  , Divya Tej Atluri  , Hari Prasad S  , Madan Mohan Reddy  , Harsha Sailesh B
Published: December 2024

This paper discusses the development and application of Web Scraping Automation in aggregating and combining data on manga and anime available on online platforms. The exponential quantity of digital information generated within a single day, whether for fandom or research, prevents them from receiving accurate, up-to-date information relating to matters like release dates or times, running chapters of manga, episodes of anime, or critique reviews. One efficient way of automation in the retrieval of these data is through web scraping, not as a method for extracting information but as a technique that gives access to extensive databases for purposes of content analysis and discovery, aside from real-time updates. This automated web-scraping goes about handling manga and anime content search and arrangement by removing the required handling of manual data collection. Through this automated process, the system would become a depository that researchers, content curators, and anime enthusiasts can draw from, giving it the most contemporary well-organized representation of data.

Published: December 2024

Despite advancements in understanding gender roles and family dynamics, significant gaps remain in how these dynamics operate within diverse religious contexts in Nigeria. This study aims to investigate the influence of the 'Bossman' factor, which encompasses diverse gender roles (Breadwinner, Overall decision-maker, Shared power, Supportive husband, Male authority, and Nurturer), on family communication among married women from Christian and Islamic backgrounds. Using a qualitative approach and employing thematic analysis, focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted with ten married women five Muslims from the central Mosque, Uwani, Enugu State, and five Christians from the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Province Five Headquarters, Trans-Ekulu, Enugu State. The findings reveal that the “Bossman” factor significantly influences decision-making processes, particularly in financial matters, and is associated with hierarchical power dynamics. Communication patterns varied from directive to collaborative styles, depending on perceived roles within the “Bossman” factor. Conflicting perceptions among participants highlighted subjective experiences within different gender roles. The study concludes that promoting egalitarian decision-making, facilitating open communication, and challenging traditional gender norms are crucial for fostering healthier family dynamics. These findings contribute to the understanding of gender roles and family communication in diverse cultural and religious settings, offering valuable implications for policymakers, practitioners, and scholars focused on enhancing family well-being.

Authors: Ashad Anjuman , Uddin Helal , Ety Jannatul Ferdous
Published: December 2024

Gender is a sensitive issue in the traditional societal setup of Bangladesh. People hesitate to discuss gender even in the 21st century. The problem of gender inequality has been widespread in Bangladesh since the ancient and medieval periods. Moreover, this problem is more acute in rural parts of the country, where people have less privilege and live in a more conservative society. This qualitative study explored rural communities' social, cultural, and economic structure to determine the social factors of gender inequality in rural Bangladesh. To do that, this study used a qualitative research approach. Employing semi-structured in-depth interviews and critically analyzing secondary data, the research scrutinized the perspectives of male and female village residents across diverse roles, such as students, employees, farmers, homemakers, and entrepreneurs. The findings highlighted several social factors causing gender disparity, including the inescapable influence of patriarchal structures, gender stereotypes, preference for male offspring, child marriage, the notion of girls as liabilities, a lack of awareness, socioeconomic barriers, and a lack of explicit policy. With nearly 60.29% of the total population residing in remote areas where gender gaps persist, this research sheds light on the urgent need for intervention. Moreover, this study provided significant recommendations after critically examining the findings. Finally, the study underlined the imperative for governmental and decision-making bodies to prioritize these findings, advocating for the introduction of comprehensive gender awareness initiatives within rural communities to combat deep-rooted inequalities and pave the way toward a more equitable society.

Published: December 2024

This study offers a comprehensive review of research trends in WASH in Indonesia from 1975 to April 2021. A total of 272 articles related to Sustainable Development Goals 6.1 and 6.2 were analyzed, sourced from the Web of Science and Scopus databases. The analysis found that water-related research (41%) was more prominent than topics related to sanitation (22%) or hygiene (13%). Social aspects (39%) were the most common focus in literature, particularly studies exploring the factors influencing WASH-related behaviors. However, there was a noticeable lack of studies on the implementation of WASH programs or interventions aimed at changing behavior, highlighting a disconnect between research findings and their application in policy and practice. In contrast, topics on hygiene (14%) and WASH financing (6%) were among the least covered. There was also a significant amount of research that combined multiple topics (23%) and themes (15%), reflecting a growing recognition of the need to address WASH challenges from a holistic, multi-faceted perspective. Geographically, most WASH research was centered in central Indonesia, even though WASH issues, such as inadequate services and poor behavior, tend to be more acute in other areas. This study also identifies several research gaps relating to topic selection, thematic focus, and regional coverage that should be addressed in future WASH studies in Indonesia.

Expropriation of real estate - key tool in achieving sustainable cities and communities
Authors: Leșan Anna
Published: December 2024

This article presents an analysis of the issues related to the emergence of the need for expropriation of real estate as a principal instrument for the creation of sustainable cities and communities. Therefore, following the analysis, it can be concluded that with the signing of the Association Agreement with the European Union by the Republic of Moldova, it is necessary to develop the country according to European standards. Consequently, an important component of the Sustainable Development Objective is the development of infrastructure. The development of infrastructure inevitably entails the expropriation of real estate for the construction of technical and public utilities, as well as road networks. The quality of road infrastructure, the quality of water supply, and the quality of electricity supply at the international level were subjected to analysis. Given that all infrastructure development projects are financed with foreign funds, an analysis was conducted of the volume of investments allocated by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and their distribution. In order to gain insight into the current state of affairs in Moldova, an investigation was conducted into the provision of technical building infrastructure elements by the country's development regions. It was found that, at this time, investments are required for infrastructure development, as a significant proportion of localities lack the necessary water supply and sewerage networks, as well as natural gas (see Table 1). It thus follows that the principal instrument for achieving these objectives is the expropriation of real estate for public utility.

Published: December 2024

The forms of integration and articulation at tertiary education are debated around the world including studies those discuss expansion, differentiation, diversity, and fragmentation of higher education. The forms of integration are evaluated here by reviewing selected Mozambican higher education literature and database from 1962 to 2021. The higher education (HE) background research in Mozambique helped assessing trends and expansion, fragmentation, differentiation, and diversity processes. These processes were described using data assessed from the Ministry of Science and Technology of Mozambique in 53 public and private universities. Statistical analyses by Excel Sheets were based on the integrated data of enrolments, new admissions, and graduations to infer the performance of isomorphism through the process of differentiation, diversity, and fragmentation. The expansion and fragmentation of HE in Mozambique is well reflected on total students enrolled in public and private systems. Results indicated slight difference of new admissions between public and private system. While we registered more graduations in public system than in private. Comparison assessed demonstrated the absence of significant differences, at 5% of confidence level, between new-admissions and graduated students, reflecting the intensification of fragmentation of the mother institutions. Additionally, evidence supporting the differentiation and diversity practices in public and private institutions was not found. Moreover, the expansion and fragmentation processes detected suggest the need of decentralization to offset the heavy concentration of resources and higher activities outside Maputo. While differentiation and diversity processes were absent in higher education system in Mozambique, nevertheless, may ensure educational quality and produce high quality graduate outputs, research, and community outreach activities.
