Evaluating Security and Community Health Metrics of FOSS Repositories
Authors: - Niraj Salvi , - Amal Thundiyil , - Seema Supe , - Nataasha Raul
Published: April 2024

The extensive use of open-source packages in software development has greatly increased output and effectiveness. However, this development presents a challenging security environment in which vulnerabilities found in these packages can spread to other projects. To address this challenge, we suggest creating an open-source security assessment tool that has been painstakingly designed. The purpose of this tool is to assess security risks related to third-party dependencies and packages that are available on npm and GitHub. Concerns are raised by the lack of a thorough assessment because seemingly innocuous packages could be hiding vulnerabilities that could lead to significant financial losses, service interruptions, and data breaches. Within the dynamic realm of open-source packages, developers often struggle to stay up to date with the ever changing security landscape. The main difficulty with this problem is figuring out which secure packages are kept up to date and which are either showing signs of poor maintenance or contain latent vulnerabilities. Therefore, it becomes necessary to have a methodical, data-driven security evaluation tool so that developers can make informed choices about which packages to install. This project uses a wide range of parameters in an attempt to meet this requirement. These parameters allow for a quantitative evaluation of a package's security posture. They include metrics like stars, forks, resolved issues, and community engagement. Our project aims to strengthen software security measures and mitigate potential risks associated with using third-party packages by giving developers actionable insights into the security status of their dependencies.

Authors: - Aditi Anand , - Sweksha Bhadauria
Published: April 2024

A good education is the basis of a number of important life skills. It is not only the foundation of knowledge, but also the development of social skills. Suspensions from school were associated with a negative school and criminal justice outcomes. Suspensions can be perceived by students as a rejection, and this can lead to lack of trust between students and their teachers. Schools face important policy tradeoffs in monitoring and managing student behavior. Strict discipline policies may stigmatize suspended students and expose them to criminal justice system at young age. The use of school suspensions as a disciplinary measure has come under increased scrutiny due to its potential long term consequences on student’s lives. While suspension are often employed as a means to address disruptive behavior in schools, emerging research suggested that they may have far reaching effects extending into adulthood, particularly in relation to involving criminal activity.

Today fossil fuels are limited in supply and are depleting rapidly. Cost of LPG cylinder has gone from Rs. 400/- to Rs. 1000/- and will keep on hiking. Disposal of bio-waste is another menace. These concerns have forced man to seriously consider bio-fuels.
Several studies have been reported about the biogas production especially from aquatic plant biomass (Dieter and Anjelika, 2008, Soma Dutta eta al 1997, Mital,1997). However, it is still not popular among urban and semi urban house holds in spite of for several advantages viz, economy, availability of substrate and waste disposal to name a few. Among the aquatic weeds tested, Eichhornia generated the highest quantity of biogas per kg volatile matter (236.3 litre).The present work highlight the fact that recurring cost of biogas is far less than other fuels and use of abundantly available Eichhornia, Pistia and Salvinia will further bring down the fuel cost which will be a gain to lakhs of financially backward coir factory workers of Alappuzha and Cherthala. Domestic kitchen waste disposal is another headache for the urban population which will also be taken care of with the portable synthetic digesters.

Authors: - Melina V. Kahulugan
Published: April 2024

This research was conducted in order to identify the challenges that students face when completing learning tasks with the guidance of weekly home learning tasks. This study looked at the effectiveness of the Unified WHLP, a proposed solution to the learning tasks assigned to students. 44 Senior High School students and advisers were surveyed on their experiences using the Unified WHLP. The t-Test (Student) was used to determine whether there was a significant difference in respondents' perceptions of its effectiveness. The students find primarily that too much learning tasks indicated in the former WHLP gave them a pressure to answer them. When the Unified WHLP has been implemented, the students strongly agreed on its effectiveness because the new WHLP has been resulted to collaborative work of the teachers that discerned to limit the overloading tasks into most essential learning tasks aligned to its competencies. Teachers also agree on its effectiveness for the student’s utilization. Yet despite the respondents both agreeing response to the Unified WHLP, the result with p-value <0.001, shows highly significance on the difference of respondents’ perception on the unified WHLP. It implies that the teacher`s observance on the reasons why some students failed to submit regularly their output is due to learning disorder that affects the ability of the learners to process information interfering the basic to higher level of learning skills. Thus, the need to do intervention to those learners with learning disorder must also be prioritized.
Impact of Cultural Diversity on Employee Engagement in Academia
Authors: - Erum Fatma
Published: April 2024

There has been a change in India's education sector, thanks to a more diverse workforce and greater international cooperation. This new cultural perspective on employee participation has both positive and negative aspects. Fortunately, classes with a wide range of cultural backgrounds may be more stimulating and educational overall. People are more likely to analyse, be creative, and learn new things when they incorporate ideas into their work. In addition, when teachers come from many walks of life, their students are more likely to feel accepted and valued. As a result, there will be more incentive and communication between the instructors and the pupils. However, cultural differences can lead to a breakdown in communication, misunderstandings, and even violent conflicts. Disengagement and decreased productivity can result from an antagonistic work environment that is fostered by unconscious bias and an absence of intercultural awareness. This abstract explores the complex dynamics of cultural diversity and professional involvement in Indian academic institutions. It explores how to make the most of diversity's positive aspects while minimising its negative aspects through diversity management strategies, cultural competence promotion, and an inclusive work culture. The goal is to create a successful school system that is able to attract and retain a diverse staff.

Published: April 2024

Wireless sensor network- a network with sensors ranging from small to large and having at least one base station –sink node . This ia a network is composed of multiple small and tricky sensors and at least a sink node or a base station. Thus, the primary problem in the wireless sensor network is the battery limitation of the sensor nodes applied in the network. Therefore, to boost the amount of energy of the sensor nodes, one should distribute the energy through the wireless sensor network. Therefore, the target for prolonging the lifetime is to design efficient and energy-aware protocols. Routing protocols can be divided into two categories, network structure-based or protocol operation-based.
This paper offers a thorough tutorial on the routing techniques in use for wireless sensor networks at present. Energy utilization and network lifetime are the two main considerations for Wireless Sensor Network . In the below-mentioned subsequent sections, we will discuss different routing protocols and their advantages and disadvantages. A sensor field contains many dedicated sensor nodes in a wireless sensor network, and these are backhauled to a central base station. The base station is where the collected information is stored for further processing and analysis.

Growth and Instability Analysis of Minor Pulses in Bangladesh
Authors: Prioty J. K. , Rahman K. S. , Miah M. A. M.
Published: April 2024

Providing a balanced diet to ensure food and nutritional security is the primary worldwide challenge. Food production efficiency and sustainability must be enhanced to address hunger and malnutrition, while food quantity and quality must grow. Pulses are an important food for the people of Bangladesh. Besides major pulses, we have to look at minor pulses as well. On the other hand, growth and instability are the two crucial aspects of agriculture. Since agriculture depends on weather conditions, the crop area, production, and yield are subject to significant variations over time. This study examined growth and instability in the area, production and yield of minor pulses using secondary data for the past 40 years (1981-2020). The entire period was divided into four sub-periods: 1981-1990, 1991-2000, 2001-2010 & 2011-2020 for analysis through different statistical tools. A suitable exponential growth function was used to calculate growth rates, and the Cuddy-Della Valle Index (CDI) was created to examine instability. The investigation showed that over the time period, both the area and production of minor pulses significantly decreased. However, the yield growth rate was modest and fell short of the demand in our nation.

Introduction: WHO, and the Indonesian government, have agreed to a plan to eradicate preventable blindness by 2020 in VISION 2020. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a strain on the healthcare system. It is difficult to assess the impact of the pandemic on preventable blindness. Here we approach the issue by evaluating hospital visits for visual impairments in one regency in Bali, Indonesia.

Methods: We collected outpatient visit records from three hospitals providing ophthalmologic clinics in Tabanan, Bali, Indonesia, a regency of 445 thousand people. We then conducted a descriptive analysis of the general changes in outpatient visits to these clinics and changes observed in different diagnoses identified as causes for preventable blindness.

Results: The result showed a 35% downtrend in outpatient visits to the ophthalmologic clinic throughout the provinces. A more pronounced downtrend (45.22%) was observed for one public hospital that also serves as a COVID-19 referral hospital compared to private hospitals (around 30% each). By diagnoses, visits for cataracts were shown with a less severe downtrend compared to glaucoma, pterygium, and refractive disorders.

Conclusion: Our study found a downtrend in outpatient visits for visual impairment in ophthalmologic clinics, which may be attributed to COVID-19 preventive measures by the hospital as well as patient reluctance due to fear of COVID-19 transmission. Public health communication needs to address this fear to recover patient confidence while maintaining vigilance in practicing COVID-19 preventive behavior.

Aim: Asthma represents a significant health burden in Kuwait, with high prevalence rates among adults and children. Most asthma patients rely on government healthcare facilities for management, so there is a pressing need to optimize asthma care and treatment strategies. A cross-sectional paper-based survey was conducted to gather insights from allergists and pulmonologists across various healthcare facilities in Kuwait.
Methods: Twenty-six medical professionals participated, sharing their perspectives on asthma management practices and adherence to the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) 2022 guidelines through answering a modified single round Delphi survey.
Results: A high level of consensus on the practicality of guideline changes and the importance of spirometry in diagnosis were reported. However, agreement varied regarding optimal management strategies and medication preferences, indicating areas of divergence among experts. Notably, while there was strong support for inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)-long-acting β2 agonist (LABA) therapy during exacerbations, opinions differed on the use of short-acting β2 agonist (SABA) inhalers as rescue medication. Additionally, the study highlighted challenges in achieving higher levels of agreement, particularly regarding the frequency of inhaler technique checks and specialist referrals for severe asthma cases.
Conclusions: This study provided valuable insights into current asthma management practices in Kuwait and identified opportunities for consensus-driven strategies aligned with GINA guidelines. By incorporating diverse perspectives from expert allergists and pulmonologists, it contributed to the enhancement of asthma care and patient outcomes in Kuwaiti healthcare settings.
