On near-perfect numbers with five prime factors
divisor sum function; Near-perfect numbers; perfect numbers
Let n be a positive integer and ?(n) the sum of all the positive divisors of n. We call n a near-perfect number with redundant divisor d if ?(n) = 2n + d. Let n be an odd near-perfect number of the form n = pa11 ? pa22 ? pa33 ? pa44 ? pa55 where pis are odd primes and ais (1 ? i ? 5) are positive integers. In this article, we prove that 3 | n and one of 5, 7, 11 | n. We also show that there exists no odd near-perfect number when n = 3a1 ? 7a2 ? pa33 ? pa44 ? pa55 with p3 ? {17, 19} and when n = 3a1 ? 11a2 ? pa33 ? pa44 ? pa55 Mathematical and Computational Sciences - Proceedings of the ICRTMPCS International Conference 2023.All rights reserved.

Financial analytical usage of cloud and appropriateness of cloud computing for certain small and medium-sized enterprises
adoption; Cloud computing; ICT; India; MSME; SMEs
The term "cloud computing"refers to a novel approach of providing useful ICTs to consumers over the internet on an as-needed and pay-per-usage basis. Businesses may streamline internal processes, increase contact with customers, and expand their market reach with the aid of cloud computing, which provides convenient and inexpensive access to cutting-edge information and communication technologies. Developing economies like India's present unique problems for small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs), such as a lack of funding, an inadequate workforce, and inadequate information and communication technology (ICT) use. Various advantages offered by current information and communication technology solutions are unavailable to SMEs because of these limitations. If small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are seeking to enhance their internal operations, communication with customers and business partners, and market reach using current information and communication technology (ICT) solutions, cloud computing might be a good fit for them. Therefore, SMEs are particularly well-served by cloud computing. Companies with a lack of capital, personnel, or other resources to deploy and use appropriate ICTs may greatly benefit from cloud computing, and the public cloud in particular. 2024 Author(s).

Aquatic Toxicity; Fathead Minnow; LC50; Lethal Concentrations; Pimephales promelas; QSAR
As there has been a rise in the usage of in silico approaches, for assessing the risks of harmful chemicals upon animals, more researchers focus on the utilization of Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship models. A number of machine learning algorithms link molecular descriptors that can infer chemical structural properties associated with their corresponding biological activity. Efficient and comprehensive computational methods which can process huge set of heterogeneous chemical datasets are in demand. In this context, this study establishes the usage of various machine learning algorithms in predicting the acute aquatic toxicity of diverse chemicals on Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas). Sample drive approach is employed on the train set for binning the data so that they can be located in a domain space having more similar chemicals, instead of using the dataset that covers a wide range of chemicals at the entirety. Here, bin wise best learning model and subset of features that are minimally required for the classification are found for further ease. Several regression methods are employed to find the estimation of toxicity LC50 value by adopting several statistical measures and hence bin wise strategies are determined. Through experimentation, it is evident that the proposed model surpasses the other existing models by providing an R2 of 0.8473 with RMSE 0.3035 which is comparable. Hence, the proposed model is competent for estimating the toxicity in new and unseen chemical. The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.

Logistic Regression; Machine Learning; Stock Market
This paper delves into a statistical analysis of the stock market, emphasizing the significance of accuracy in stock predictions. Large data sets can be handled by machine learning algorithms, which can also forecast outcomes based on past data and spot intricate patterns in financial data. They assist control risks, automate decision-making procedures, and adjust to changing circumstances. Multi-source data can be combined by ML models to provide a comprehensive picture of market circumstances. They can manage intricate, nonlinear interactions, provide impartial analysis, and lessen human bias. Models are able to adjust to shifting market conditions through ongoing learning and retraining. They must, however, exercise caution when deploying models in real-world situations and ensure that they are validated. Although machine learning has advantages for stock market analysis, it must be carefully evaluated for dangers and validated before being used in practical situations. The traditional machine learning model, Logistic Regression has been used in order to predict stock prices. It focuses on binary classification based on the trend of the stock. Through the model training and evaluation and additional analysis done on the results, this research contributes towards obtaining predictions and studying reasons of a possible uptrend or downtrend to further assist companies.

Player interaction involves the exchange of information, and in case of insufficient protection of the system, confidential data, such as personal information, game progress results or individual strategies, may become available to unauthorized persons. This may result in misuse of information, damage to reputation and violation of player privacy. The impact on the game space is also a threat. By interacting, players can change the game world, for example, by entering incorrect data, moving objects to an inappropriate location, or modifying the rules of the game. This can lead to a violation of the balance of the game, incorrect results and a deterioration in the learning effect. Substitution or falsification of game elements is no less dangerous. Attackers can introduce fake elements into the game space, for example, incorrect reviews, changed rules or incorrect data. This can lead to incorrect conclusions, distort learning outcomes, and undermine confidence in the game. In addition, the use of interaction tools can become an object of attack. Attackers can hack and modify tools, such as communication platforms or data storage systems. This can lead to data theft, incorrect operation of tools and malfunction during the game. It is shown that formal descriptions of the choice of a game strategy can exist in a game. Indicators that are essential for cooperative interaction are determined, and examples of their calculation for the case with remote interaction through a social network are given. The article contains information about collaborations, which can be used to assess and choose the direction of development in projects that use game cooperative strategies to implement tasks other than training. The project highlights aspects of cooperative interaction that affect the formation of game strategies in an educational project. Of particular interest are projects in which a social network is the tool and medium of interaction. The objectives of the project are to identify easy-to-use indicators that show the features of cooperative interaction within an educational game.

Bibliometric analysis; Health care; Industry 4.0; IoT; Technology adoption
A key moment in health care is marked by the Fourth Industrial Revolution, commonly referred to as Industry 4.0. This transformation, driven by the convergence of digital technologies with automation and data driving processes, has led to a paradigm shift in how health care is provided. The integration of the emerging technologies in Industry 4.0, such as Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data Analytics and Advanced Robots, are revolutionizing patient care, improving resource allocation and shaping research's landscape. To learn more about the ever-evolving relationship between Industry 4.0 and health care, this research paper begins with a bibliographic analysis. In this interdisciplinary convergence, our bibliometric analyses serve as a lens through which we can see the key trends, research areas and influential players. The review of literature highlights the profound impact of Industry 4.0 on health care, revealing that Internet of Things technologies for real-time patient tracking, proliferation of artificial intelligence in medical diagnosis and transforming power of big data Analytics are changing health care decision making. Methodologically, we leverage bibliometrics as a quantitative analytical tool, drawing on citation counts, bibliographic coupling, and keyword co-occurrence analysis. The data for this analysis, which covered the period 20152023, was carefully collected from Scopus database. The analysis of the information reveals that, particularly from 2018 onwards, there has been a significant increase in publications concerning Industry 4.0 and health care. In this research landscape India has emerged as a strong contributor, with countries such as the United States and Italy making significant progress. Publication trends and bibliographic coupling among countries and sources shed light on collaborative networks and research focus. The emergence of machine learning, artificial intelligence and data analysis as important themes is illustrated by a co-occurrence analysis of keywords that elucidates evolving research interests. In the complicated terrain of health care converging with Industry 4.0, this research paper serves as a compass. The report highlights this convergence's transformative potential, highlighting the pivotal role that bibliometrics analysis must play in determining future research areas in adopting Industry 4.0 in the health-care sector.

Lightweight Sybil attack detection framework for wireless sensor network with cluster topology
The development of communication and networking technology has made it possible for wireless sensor networks to play a significant role in many fields. Wireless sensor networks are vulnerable to a variety of security threats because of their remote hostile features. The Sybil attack, which generates several identities to gain access to wireless sensor networks, is one such devastating but simple to spread exploit. This Paper proposes a novel identity and trust-based system to ensure protection against Sybil attacks. Analysis of the RSSI and location parameter increases the accuracy. It recognises the attackers and broadcasts information about them to all adjacent sensor nodes. Additionally, it offers other crucial security features. 2025 Author(s).
