A reliable healthcare system ensures that the population has access to top-notch medical ser- vices, ultimately enhancing their overall health most efficiently. At times, data are not secured or handled appropriately. Addressing these concerns, blockchain technology is projected to bring about a substantial revolution in the medical industry by assuring the confidentiality of electronic health…

The advent of laparoscopic surgery has increased the need to incorporate simulator-based training into traditional training programs to improve resident training and feedback. However, current training methods rely on expert surgeons to evaluate the dexterity of trainees, a time-consuming and subjective process. Through this research, we aim to extend the use of object detection in…

In this paper, we have developed a gas injection-type prefabricated lifting device based on location tracking to efficiently lift the human body in the event of an accident that occurs underwater on the sea or land. The efficiency of the lifting system is very important to ensure the golden time of the rescue and the…

Mental stress assessment remains riddled with biases caused by subjective reports and individual differences across societal backgrounds. To objectively determine the presence or absence of mental stress, there is a need to move away from the traditional subjective methods of self-report questionnaires and interviews. Previously, it has been evidence that EEG Oscillations can discriminate mental…

In the context of adopting cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), prospective consumers need to consider a wide array of both business and technical factors associated with the service. The development of an intelligent tool to aid in the assessment of IaaS offerings is highly desirable. However, the creation of such a tool requires a robust foundation of…

Daily life is characterized by a great explosion of abundance of information available on the internet and social media. Smart technology has radically changed our lives, giving a leading role to social media for communication, advertising, information and exchange of opinions. Managing this huge amount of data by humans is an almost impossible task. Adequacy…

An ensemble method is a Machine Learning (ML) algorithm that aggregates the predictions of multiple estimators or models. The purpose of an ensemble module is to provide better predictive performance than any single contributing model. This can be achieved by producing a predictive model with reduced variance using bagging, and bias using boosting. The Tree-Based…

In this work, our contribution will intervene to reduce the impact of noises on the ECG signals. Various ECG denoising approaches were tested to see how efficient they were in removing dominant noises that add to pure ECG signals. Due to different causes such as interference, muscular noise, body movement related to breathing, and so…

Designing efficient control strategies for opinion dynamics is a challenging task. Understanding how individuals change their opinions in social networks is essential to countering malicious actors and fake news and mitigating their effect on the network. In many applications such as marketing design, product launches, etc., corporations often post curated news or feeds on social…

The human resource development of robotics and automation in the smart factory is an important factor in “Thailand 4.0” roadmap, which is following the industry 4.0 model. To pursue this goal of Thailand 4.0 roadmap of labor development, the effective and intuitive training system must be easy to understand. This study proposes the implementation of…

Early warning systems have had a significant impact on society by providing timely information to mitigate the effects of natural disasters. To enhance early warning capabilities, researchers are exploring the use of digital terrestrial television systems to broadcast alerts across large urban and rural areas. In this research project, the aim is to integrate the…

As a result of rising expectations for quality, the employment of advanced technical requirements for future fifth-generation (5G) new radio is required. The error-correction coding method is one of the most important components of a new generation. The 5G NR New Radio Low-Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes, which have been adopted by the 5G standard,…

Over the past ten years, deep learning models have considerably advanced research in artificial intelligence, particularly in the segmentation of medical images. One of the key benefits of medical picture segmentation is that it allows for a more accurate analysis of anatomical data by separating only pertinent areas. Numerous studies revealed that these models could…

The attributes of the vehicle routing problem (VRP) are as many additional characteristics or constraints which aim to better take into account the specificities of real application cs. The variants of the VRP thus formed are the support of an extremely rich literature, comprising an immense variety of heuristics. This article constitutes an industrial application…

In recent years, the adoption of ICT education has increased in educational settings. Research and development of educational support robots have garnered considerable interest as a promising approach to inspire and engage students. Conventional robots provide learning support through button operations by the learners. However, the frequent need for button operation to request support may…

Narrow-band Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is a low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) method that was first launched by the 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) Rel-13 with the purpose of enabling low-cost, low-power, and wide-area cellular connections for the Internet of Things (IoT). As the demand for over-the-air services grows and with the number of linked wireless…

The exponential growth in the number of automobiles over the past few decades has created a pressing need for a robust license plate identification system that can perform effectively under various conditions. In Morocco, as in other regions, local authorities, public organizations, and private companies require a reliable License Plate Recognition (LPR) system that takes…

Like many STEM research projects, the members of the National Science Foundation-funded STEM SEALS project dramatically shifted from in-person delivery of a summer institute to distance-learning with minimal time for preparation. However, the daunting challenge also offered the unique opportunity to apply Design-based Research within an exploratory study to inform and document the progression and…

The main contradiction identified in the study is that the existing scientific and methodological solves of economy development management processes does not create prerequisites for improving the efficiency of their work, the introduction of progressive technologies for material and moral stimulation of the work of performers and administrative and managerial personnel, advanced social mechanisms for…

The detection and classification of fish is a prevalent and fascinating area of study. Numerous researchers develop skills in fish recognition in both aquatic and non-aquatic environments, which is beneficial for population control and the aquaculture industry, respectively. Rarely is research conducted to optimize the recognition of fish with diverse backgrounds. This paper proposes a…

People with visual impairment face daily struggle of navigating through unfamiliar places. This problem mainly caused by their lack of spatial awareness, i.e., the ability to estimate the distance between themselves and their surroundings. In order for visually impaired people to navigate independently, an effective navigation aid is required. The proposed navigation aid device utilizes…

Limited interactive communication modes between students and teachers in online environments may lead to teachers misinterpreting or overlooking student needs during online teaching. Students learning online may also hesitate to make their needs known even when latent desires in teaching flow, pacing, and review, may be beneficial to the quality of the learning experience. The…
