A Brief Review onDifferent Machine Learning-Based Intrusion Detection Systems
subject: Decision tree algorithm; Intrusion detection; kNN algorithm; Random Forest algorithm; Support vector Machine algorithm
description: In the contemporary cybersecurity landscape, the proliferation of complex and sophisticated cyber threats necessitates the development of robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) for safeguarding network infrastructures. These threats make it more challenging to maintain the communitys availability, integrity, and confidentiality. To ensure a secure network, community administrators should implement multiple intrusion detection systems (IDS) to monitor and detect unauthorized and malicious activities. An intrusion detection system examines the networks traffic by analyzing data flowing through computers to identify potential security threats or malicious activities. It alerts administrators when suspicious activities are detected. IDS generally performs two types of malicious activity detection: misuse or signature-based detection, which entails collecting and comparing information to a database of known attack signatures, and anomaly detection, which detects any behavior that differs from the standard activity and assumes it to be malicious. The proposed paper offers an overview of how different Machine Learning Algorithms like Random forest, k - Nearest Neighbor, Decision tree, Support Vector Machine, Naive Bayes, and K- means are used for IDS and how these algorithms perform on different well-known datasets, and Their accuracy and performance are evaluated and compared, providing valuable insights for future work. kNN shows an accuracy of 90.925% for Denial of Service Attacks and 98.244% for User To Root attacks. The SVM algorithm shows an accuracy of 93.051% for Probe attacks and 80.385% accuracy for remote-to-local attacks. According to our implementation, these two algorithms work better than the others.

Critical Analysis of MoS2-Based Systems for Textile Wastewater Treatment
description: Indiscriminate discharge of toxic organic contaminant-laden wastewater into water bodies is one of the major issues posing a risk to the environment in general and aquatic living systems in particular. Widely used textile dyes are ubiquitous in the effluents emanating from industries. Photocatalysts, due to their efficiency and eco-friendliness, can be effectively used to remove pollutant dyes from the water bodies. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), an emerging co-catalyst, has high photocatalytic activity, strong absorptivity, non-toxicity, and low cost; with a graphene-like structure, it offers functional features similar to graphene: high charge carrier transfer, strong wear resistance, and good mechanical strength. However, in aspects such as cost, abundance, versatile morphologies, and tunable band gap with efficient visible light absorption properties, MoS2 scores over graphene. The present chapter discusses the recent advances in nanostructured MoS2 materials for applications in environmental remediation. Special emphasis has been paid to MoS2 and MoS2-based systems for the photocatalytic degradation of various organic contaminants such as malachite green, methyl orange, rhodamine B, and methylene blue that find extensive use in the textile industry. As a result, MoS2 systems play an essential role in nanocomposites, especially in speeding up photo-induced electron transport and lowering electron recombination rates, making them desirable photocatalysts for the degradation of pollutants. The chapter focuses on addressing SDG 3 (Good Health and Wellbeing), SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG 7 (Clean and Affordable Energy), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), SDG 14 (Life Below Water), and SDG 15 (Life on Land). 2025 Moharana Choudhury, Ankur Rajpal, Srijan Goswami, Arghya Chakravorty and Vimala Raghavan.

subject: Adaptive Boosting; Data Standardization; EEG; Epileptic Seizure; Frequency domain; Gaussian Nae Bayes; Machine Learning; Multi-domain Features; Time domain
description: Accurate detection and classification of epileptic seizures play a pivotal role in clinical diagnosis and treatment. This study introduces an innovative approach that leverages multi-domain features extracted from Electroencephalogram (EEG) data in conjunction with Supervised learning classification techniques. Initially, EEG data undergoes preprocessing through data standardization, followed by the extraction of essential features per instance, encompassing combination of Time domain, Frequency domain, and Time-Frequency domain features. These extracted feature combinations are subsequently fed into the machine learning-based boosting classifier Adaptive Boosting (ADABOOST) for an accurate and precise classification of epileptic signals. Validation of the proposed method is conducted using EEG data from the BEED (Bangalore EEG Epilepsy Dataset) and BONN (University of BONN, Germany) database to detect epileptic seizures. The experimental results show remarkably high levels of classification accuracy for various conditions: 99% accuracy for BEED data, 98% accuracy for BONN data for classifying seizures from healthy states, and 91% accuracy for classifying seizure onset from seizure events. Furthermore, the study applies the Gaussian Nae Bayes (GNB) classifier to differentiate various types of epileptic seizures, employing evaluation metrics such as the confusion matrix, ROC curve, and diverse performance measures. This method demonstrates significant potential in supporting experienced neurophysiologists decision in the clinical classification of epileptic seizure types.

The Shame of Ageing During Fourth Industrial Revolution: A Thematic Analysis of Indian Adults
description: The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), a term popularised by Klaus Schwab in 2016, connected the physical-biological and the digital world. This is an era of artificial intelligence and computational technologies suited to satiate the needs of the human race. The emphasis is also on a digital identity we have developed alongside our physical and psychological entities. Millennials and Gen Z have a cognizant grip on their digital identity and are known to use the fruits of 4IR in their everyday livelihood. However, with the advent of Industry 4.0, the generation of Baby Boomers and Gen X have had to undergo much re-learning and accommodate the newer ways of integrating digitalization in their lives. The process has brought about occupational threats and shaming related to failure to upgradation and flexibility. This article explores the influences of these social experiences on the identity and self-concept of the quinquagenarians and the sexagenarians. The article follows a qualitative method where using a thematic approach, the emerging themes from the in-depth interviews will be analyzed in detail to form a theoretical framework for shaming among the Indian Baby Boomers and Gen X. The variables in focus are adjustment, coping styles, resilience, the purpose of life, and Self-Image. The study explores the themes of Indian adults, which emerge from interviewing 46 participants, who have been associated with full-time employment and are between 77 and 59 years of age, representing the Baby Boomers, and those between 43 and 58 years of age, representing Gen X. The analysis adopts a psychoanalytic approach, where the data is interpreted using an Eriksonian lens. The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.

Mapping Fire, Earthquake and Bio-hazard in Delhi: A Micro-level Study
subject: Biohazard and waste management; Earthquake; Fire hazard; Vulnerable
description: Delhi, being Indias capital territory, is a massive metropolitan area that is extremely vulnerable to various types of disasters because of the widely spread built-up area that houses the population from all over the country. Delhi lies in Seismic Zone IV14, which makes the area sensitive to disasters. Another major problem that Delhi is currently facing is of proper garbage disposal, since the density of the population is high, tons of waste is generated. A fair share of the waste generated also includes biomedical waste. Delhi generates more biomedical waste than it can process. The area chosen for the present study is Chirag Delhi and Sheikh Sarai, located in south Delhi. This area is urbanized, and a home to a large number of people. The area is populated, poorly managed and highly vulnerable to disasters. The study area also has two colleges situated near the residential area because of which the area is subjected to a lot of traffic jam. The purpose of choosing this area for this study is its vulnerability to disasters like fire, earthquake and biohazard. The study area has pockets with high rise buildings or ill-designed high-risk areas without specific consideration for earthquake resistance. Moreover, the area lacks proper waste management. It has been identified that the area is a highly vulnerable place when it comes to hazards like fire, earthquake and biohazards. The people living there are in a constant threat for their lives. One of the major problems is that the community lacks dedication and determination, which has been tested through a schedule and observation method, to change their circumstances and bring about a change in the area that would benefit them and their families.

Importance of Genetic Model in Huntingtons Disease
description: Huntingtons disease (HD) is the first defect-mapped autosomal-dominant, progressive neurodegenerative disorder with a distinct phenotype found in 1983, which contributed to the concept of human genome project. Thus, the search for genetic defects pioneered various mapping and gene study technological prototypes that culminated in identification of distinct disorders. Huntingtons disease has many symptoms, including chorea and dystonia, incoordination, cognitive decline and dementia, and behavioral difficulties. This disease can manifest any time over the age of 30 years, with the first sign and symptom being behavioral changes, which might include lack of emotions, periods of aggression, excitement, and anger. HD duration varies, ranging from 10 to 25 years or more depending on the individual. It is caused by a single gene defect on chromosome number 4, wherein a person requires only a single copy of the defected gene to show the symptoms; that is, a person with parent with the HD gene has a 50% chance of suffering. The disease becomes prominent in a human being as a result of mutations in a gene called Huntington that is located on the p arm (short arm) of chromosome 4 (4p 16.3). This chapter discusses the genetic model of Huntingtons disease and its importance. An increase in the normal number of repeat CAG (cytosine, adenine, and guanine) segments, (i.e. > 35 CAG) is seen in the Huntington (HTT) mutation that causes the disease. The severity of the disease depends on the sized expansion (i.e. increasing CAG repeats will accelerate the age of onset of the disease). Continuing studies of genetic modifiers-genes whose natural polymorphic variation contribute to the alteration and development of the D gene-offers to open new gateways for early diagnosis by unlocking the biochemical changes that occur years before diagnosis, thereby providing validated target protein and pathways for rational therapeutic interventions. This is also added as a section in this chapter. …

Food Quality Indicator-Based Intelligent Food Packaging
description: Foodborne illnesses caused by microbial growth and consumption of spoiled food items can lead to severe health issues. Monitoring real-time food quality through indicators/sensors has been an important priority for food industries, researchers, consumers, and regulatory bodies in this context. Intelligent packaging (IP), a type of food packaging, uses an indicator component to track and alert consumers on the quality of packaged food from the stage of manufacture to consumption in real time. Intelligent packaging helps reduce food waste and ensure consumer safety. This book chapter will discuss various food quality indicators, including humidity, oxygen, carbon dioxide, pH, and microbial indicators, and their applications in IP. 2025 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Examining Pre- and Post-ERP Adoption Challenges Confronting SMES: A Study on South Indian Companies
subject: Challenges; Employee training; ERP adoption; SME; Technology
description: In todays dynamic and fiercely competitive business world, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can benefit greatly from using enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Because these technologies may revolutionize decision-making, data management, and operational efficiency, they are a compelling choice for SMEs who aspire to thrive in their respective industries. This study provides an in-depth analysis of the impact of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), focusing on the challenges encountered during the pre and post-adoption phases. The research incorporates quantitative data from 36 SMEs that have undergone ERP implementation. The study aims to unravel the challenges of ERP adoption in SMEs through statistical analysis, including paired and independent samples t-tests, Pearson Chi-square tests, and non-parametric tests such as Wilcoxon Signed Rank and Mann-Whitney tests. The findings reveal a significant reduction in operational challenges post-ERP adoption, highlighting the efficiency gains from ERP systems. The findings advocate for a strategic approach to ERP adoption, emphasizing the importance of vendor selection and the nuanced role of employee training in ensuring the successful integration and utilization of ERP systems within SMEs. It is also important to establish a continuous monitoring and evaluation mechanism to resolve issues when and where occurred.

INTERFACING PRIMAL RELIGION OF THE HAMAI (ZELIANGRONG), CHRISTIANITY, HERAKA, AND TINGKAO RAGWANG CHAPRIAK
description: This chapter explores the intertwinement between four religious traditions, namely (1) Characheng (primal religion of the Hamai) and its offshoots, (2) Heraka, (3) Tingkao Ragwang Chapriak (TRC), and (4) Christianity in contemporary Hamai (Zeliangrong) communities. The influence of the primal Hamai religion on Christianity is unquestionable, and at the same time, these two traditions hold sway over Heraka and TRC in varying degrees. The impacts of the interaction are at the levels of consciousness, belief systems, practices, and values. The chapter brings out the asymmetric encounter between reformed religious traditions (Heraka) of the Hamai and the proselytisation of Christianity in the Hamai communities that had led to the extinction of the primal religion of the former. Remarkably, Heraka and TRC are counter-proselytising movements against Christianity based on the primal belief system and synthesis of Christian and Hindu belief systems. For this purpose, the research employs comparative and dialogical approaches to explore and analyse the interconnection among the above religions. It argues that the current forms of Christianity, Heraka, and TRC in Hamai tribes are unique in themselves, and at the same time, they are also cyclically inspired by one another in the process of their encounters. 2025 selection and editorial matter, Maguni Charan Behera; individual chapters, the contributors.
