A bibliometric analysis of scientific literature on adverse childhood experiences (2004-2024)
Adverse childhood experiences (ACE) significantly impact physical, mental and social well-being, making them a critical area of research. This study analyzed the emerging trends and intellectual structure of ACE research and identified key contributors, including the most productive nations, journals and authors. Using bibliometric tools and VOSviewer software (version 1.6.20), 1,957 articles from the Scopus database (2004 to March 2024) were systematically analyzed. A notable finding was the surge in ACE-related publications during the COVID-19 pandemic, potentially reflecting increased global attention on childhood adversity amid heightened social and economic challenges. The analysis also revealed a striking dearth of studies from the Global South, with the field predominantly shaped by Western nations, like the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada. Leading journals, such as the Journal of Interpersonal Violence, and prolific authors, like Kevin T. Wolff, played a central role in advancing the field. Co-citation analysis uncovered four thematic clusters: (1) conceptualization and assessment of ACE, (2) health implications, (3) mental health impacts and (4) juvenile delinquency. These clusters, though distinct, showed significant thematic overlaps, reflecting the interconnected nature of ACE research and its intellectual structure. These findings underscore the need for more regionally diverse and interdisciplinary approaches to understanding global childhood adversity. The Author(s), 2025. -

A Big Data Analysis Using Fuzzy Deep Convolution Network Based Model for Heart Disease Classification
Heart disease is a serious disease that causes sudden death among 80% of the people around the world. The traditional models performed predictive analytics using machine learning techniques to make a better decision. For better decision making in heart disease prediction, the big data analysis shows the great opportunities to predict the future health status from health parameters and provide best outcomes. However, the traditional decision making models had traffic data or contained noise and uncertainty was unpredictable as the data ambiguity emerged. In order to overcome such an issue, the big data is used to ensure the medical service which is mostly needed in a timely manner and for accurate diagnosis. The pre-processing of the medical data acquired from Cleveland heart disease UCI datasets has a vast number of attributes which helps to predict the heart disease. The data are contaminated with the noise and some of the data are missing, so the pre-processing using Min max Normalization is performed to remove contaminated noise acquired in the data which is taken from the UCI repository dataset. The proposed Fuzzy Deep Convolution Network (FDCN) permits the input features for fuzzification process that uses transformed features. The fuzzification process eliminates the redundant or irrelevant fuzzified features and overcomes the system complexity problems. The proposed FDCN obtains accuracy of 95.56 % and 92 % of F-score shows better results when compared with the existing KNN-DT, Naive Bayes, and Random Forest algorithms. 2021,International Journal of Intelligent Engineering and Systems.

A Brief Review onDifferent Machine Learning-Based Intrusion Detection Systems
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.
