Cyberbullying is affecting a lot of children around the world, especially Arab countries. Thus concerns from cyberbullying are rising. A lot of research is ongoing with the purpose of diminishing…

In acronym Captology – Computers as Persuasive Technology, a persuasive component (lat. persuasibilibus – enticing) refers to the persuasive stimulation by intelligent technologies. Latter being transitive and interactive as intelligent systems, they have imposed, by their persuasivity, a ‘cult of information’, after which information has become a type of goods that as a utilitarian resource…

The Internet is the premier platform that enable the emergence of new technologies. Online news is unstructured narrative text that embeds facts, frames, and amplification that can influence society attitudes about technology adoption. Online news sources are carriers of voluminous amounts of news for reaching significantly large audience and have no geographical or time boundaries.…

Economic gains are generally the outcome of industrialization and consequently urbanization. However, positive fiscal index generates a negative impact on natural environment sources heaving pollutant burden on soil, air and water. Industries throw tones of contaminated water into soil and water bodies without proper treatment and create a potential threat for both living and non-living…

A Linear Wireless Sensor Network (LWSN) is a kind of wireless sensor network where the nodes are deployed in a line. Since the sensor nodes are energy restricted, energy efficiency becomes one of the most significant design issues for LWSNs as well as wireless sensor networks. With the proper deployment, the power consumption could be…

In this paper, a full duplex Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) architecture supporting 10Gbps data transmission through single fiber cable network is proposed and demonstrated. A Non Return to Zero Differential Phase Shift Keying (NRZ-DPSK) is utilized for downstream and re-modulate the downstream signal using intensity modulator (on-off keying OOK) in Return to Zero (RZ)…

Mortar is used all over the world for construction purpose. It consists of cement paste and fine aggregates and admixtures if required are also incorporated to modify some of its properties. In this study coconut fibers and human hair were used as an additive materials in the mortar and its effects on compressive strength of…

In this work, we present CIRB-Edge, a novel integer compression method designed specifically to overcome the limitations of traditional techniques such as Huffman coding, Delta encoding, and dictionary-based algorithms. These legacy methods often fall short in meeting the stringent requirements of secure, energy-efficient, and real-time edge computing due to their high computational overhead, memory demands,…

The importance of MMF space harmonics in squirrel-cage induction motors has been recognized in the literature since the beginning. Their details have been analyzed over the years, but only partly systematized. In this article, however, not only the origin and the entire system of that harmonics are described, but also their interaction causing the asynchronous…

In regions like the African equatorial region, where ground-based sensors like ionosondes and incoherent scatter radars are limited, satellite-based radio occultation (RO) observations offer a new alternative for ionospheric data collecting and optimization. Using RO measurements from the mostly newly launched COSMIC-2 (Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate-2) mission, hence, the equatorial Africa,…

Natural language processing (NLP) techniques have transformed a number of tasks in the modern age of information explosion where millions of gigabytes of data are generated every day. Despite achieving state-of-the-art performance in high-resource languages, current techniques struggle with processing under-resourced languages which are characterized by data scarcity, linguistic diversity, computational limitations, ambiguity of language…

Despite the development of the Internet and wired networks such as fiber optics, mobile networks remain the most used thanks to the mobility they offer to the user. However, data protection in these networks is more complex because of the radio channels they use for transmission. Hence,there is a need to find more sophisticated data…

In recent years, the utilization of tangible educational materials has attracted attention on educational settings. They provide hands-on learning experiences for beginners. This trend is especially notable in the field of programming education. Such educational materials are employed in many institutions worldwide. They liberate learners of programming from programming languages that are confined in a…

This research analyses the challenges faced by ASEAN countries in managing its energy efficiencies and resources due to rapid economic growth, increasing energy demand, and diverse energy infrastructures across member states. This paper explores the energy management policies and strategies within the ASEAN region, focusing on the integration of energy efficiency measures, renewable energy initiatives,…

The Mind Monitoring System (MIMOSYS) is a novel voice analysis technique for mental health assessment that has been validated in some languages; however, no research has been conducted on the Vietnamese yet. This study aimed to examine the ability of the Vitality score extracted from the MIMOSYS system to assess depression status based on the…

In this paper, we will discuss two algorithms to solve the so-called package design problem, by which a set of queries (referred to as a query log) is represented by a collection of bit strings with each indicating the favourite activities or items of customers. For such a query log, we are required to design…

In healthcare, accurate communication is critical, and medical coding, especially coding using the ICD (International Classification of Diseases) standards, plays a vital role in achieving this accuracy. Traditionally, ICD coding has been a time-consuming manual process performed by trained professionals, involving the assignment of codes to patient records, such as doctor’s notes. In this paper,…

The proliferation of internet economies has given the corporate world manifold advantages to businesses, as they can now incorporate the latest innovations into their operations, thereby enhancing ease of doing business. For instance, financial institutions have leveraged credit card usage on the aforesaid proliferation. However, this exposes clients to cybercrime, as fraudsters always find ways…

The study aimed to create a chronological overview of the royal development projects initiated by King Rama IX and to analyze their spatial distribution patterns. The research used a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection methods such as obtaining data from relevant offices, internet research, and field observations. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics…

The automated Global System for Mobile Communication Signal Strength and Radio Climatological (GSM-RC) measuring device is an integration of different electronic sensors in a box for an in-situ measuring system.
