A comprehensive review of AI based intrusion detection system
In today's digital world, the tremendous amount of data poses a significant challenge to cyber security. The complexity of cyber-attacks makes it difficult to develop efficient tools to detect them. Signature-based intrusion detection has been the common method used for detecting attacks and providing security. However, with the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly Machine Learning, Deep Learning and ensemble learning, promising results have been shown in detecting attacks more efficiently. This review discusses how AI-based mechanisms are being used to detect attacks effectively based on relevant research. To provide a broader view, the study presents taxonomy of the existing literature on Machine Learning (ML), Deep learning (DL), and ensemble learning. The analysis includes 72 research papers and considers factors such as the algorithm and performance metrics used for detection. The study reveals that AI-based intrusion detection methods improve accuracy, but researchers have primarily focused on improving performance for detecting attacks rather than individual attack classification. The main objective of the study is to provide an overview of different AI-based mechanisms in intrusion detection and offer deeper insights for future researchers to better understand the challenges of multi-classification of attacks. 2023 -

Cultural Expression of Anxiety Symptoms in Kannada Language: A Qualitative Study
Background: In anxiety disorders, culture is important in symptom presentation and help-seeking. Most tools for anxiety disorders are not validated in India and thus might not capture culture-specific aspects of anxiety. This study aims to identify and generate culturally specific terms to describe symptoms of anxiety as part of the development of the Kannada version of the Panic and Anxiety National Indian Questionnaire (PANIQ). The PANIQ is a tool under development to identify anxiety and panic in Indian settings. Methods: This study used qualitative methods like focus group discussions (FGDs) and in-depth interviews (IDIs) to identify and generate items related to anxiety and panic in Kannada from stakeholders like individuals with anxiety disorders, their caregivers, healthcare workers, and mental health professionals who treat individuals with anxiety and panic disorders. Five FGDs (n = 28), one triad (n = 3), and 34 IDIs (n = 34) were conducted. Results: The mean age of the participants was 38.9 (standard deviation: 12.28) years; 57.1% were from rural areas. We generated 615 Kannada items. These were classified into 21 domains and facets. Items in domains like Somatic symptoms, Fear, and Impairment in day-to-day life were higher than those noted in existing tools for anxiety that focus more on cognitive symptoms of anxiety. Conclusions: This study generated culturally specific items of anxiety through a qualitative process of tool development incorporating subjective experiences of persons with anxiety disorders and other stakeholders. This is among the first steps toward the development of PANIQ. 2022 The Author(s). -
The Creation of Intelligent Surfaces for the Purpose of Next-Gen Wireless Networks
In preparation of the changing environment of 5th wave (5G) and prospective networks of cells, this study explores new methods to meet challenges that result from the erratic character of the communication medium. Traditionally viewed as a chance factor, the relationship between broadcast radio waves with surrounding factors lowers signal quality in modern times of wireless communications. This paper performs a full literature review on customizable autonomous surfaces (RISs) alongside their uses, stressing the chance for network managers to control radio wave features and minimize environmental spread problems. RISs allow effective control over waveform parameters, including the amplitude, phase, number, and polarization, that without needing complex encoder, decoder, or radio wave processing methods. Leveraging technical developments, metasurfaces, reflectarrays, phase shifts, and liquid crystals appear as potential options for RIS application, placing them as pioneers in the realization of 5G as well as subsequent networks. The study dives into current actions in the RIS-operated mobile phone network area and covers core research issues that deserve exploration to feed unlocking the full promise of RISs at wireless communication networks. 2024 IEEE. -

AI-based wavelet and stacked deep learning architecture for detecting coronavirus (COVID-19) from chest X-ray images
A novel coronavirus (COVID-19), belonging to a family of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARs-CoV-2), was identified in Wuhan city, Hubei, China, in November 2019. The disease had already infected more than 681.529665 million people as of March 13, 2023. Hence, early detection and diagnosis of COVID-19 are essential. For this purpose, radiologists use medical images such as X-ray and computed tomography (CT) images for the diagnosis of COVID-19. It is very difficult for researchers to help radiologists to do automatic diagnoses by using traditional image processing methods. Therefore, a novel artificial intelligence (AI)-based deep learning model to detect COVID-19 from chest X-ray images is proposed. The proposed work uses a wavelet and stacked deep learning architecture (ResNet50, VGG19, Xception, and DarkNet19) named WavStaCovNet-19 to detect COVID-19 from chest X-ray images automatically. The proposed work has been tested on two publicly available datasets and achieved an accuracy of 94.24% and 96.10% on 4 classes and 3 classes, respectively. From the experimental results, we believe that the proposed work can surely be useful in the healthcare domain to detect COVID-19 with less time and cost, and with higher accuracy. 2023 Elsevier Ltd -

Nexus Between Interest Rate Risk and Economic Value of Equity of Banks
This analytical study looks to provide recommendations to the banking sector on different policies and regulations by examining certain aspects of the Basel III accord, which was designed to manage specific operational, capital and market risks of banks. A review of extant literature reveals that only a few papers have been written on simulation-based approaches, using basis and re-pricing risks. We look to connect this as a source while attempting to define and measure the impact of interest rate risk (IRR) on the economic value of equity (EVE) of banks. We propose to use the driverdriven method, wherein interest rate shocks are derived through prime lending rate (PLR) for the period of 20162019 in the context of India. Monte Carlo Simulation and OLS regression was performed to predict the IRR; Granger causality was used to examine the cause and effect relationship; the impulse response function (IRF) was used for sensitivity analysis; and the vector error correction model (VECM) technique was used for co-integrating relationships. Notably, the EVE movement caused due to shocks in interest rates had to be traced as it envisages probable EVE losses. Importantly, our study is among the first few to show the relationship between IRR and EVE of banks, especially after the deregulation of Indian banking sector. 2021 International Management Institute, New Delhi. -

Message efficient ring leader election in distributed systems
Leader Election Algorithm, not only in distributed systems but in any communication network, is an essential matter for discussion. Tremendous amount of work are happening in the research community on election as network protocols are in need of co-ordinator process for the smooth running of the system. These so called Coordinator processes are responsible for the synchronization of the system otherwise, the system loses its reliability. Furthermore, if the leader process crashes, the new leader process should take the charge as early as possible. New leader is one among the currently running processes with the highest process id. In this paper we have presented a modified version of ring algorithm. Our work involves substantial modifications of the existing ring election algorithm and the comparison of message complexity with the original algorithm. Simulation results show that our algorithm minimizes the number of messages even in worst case scenario. 2013 Springer Science+Business Media. -

Imidazopyridine Hydrazine Conjugates as Potent Anti-TB Agents with their Docking, SAR, and DFT Studies
Novel imidazopyridines hydrazine conjugates were designed and synthesized for their anti-tubercular (anti-TB) activity. A cytotoxicity assay was conducted with Vero cells to determine the safety profile of the most effective compounds. It was found that compound (IA3) (MIC=0.78 ?M) and (IA8) (MIC=1.12 ?M) were nearly 3.7 and 2.5 times more active than pyrazinamide. Based on Density functional theory (DFT), these molecules exhibited better charge transfer between molecular orbital's, which made them suitable for biological applications. Molecular docking on Mycobacterium tuberculosis InhA bound to NITD-916 (PDB: 4R9S) revealed that compounds possessed greater binding affinity towards proteins. In addition, the most active anti-TB compounds (IA3) and (IA8) exhibited high levels of interaction with the target protein and exceptional safety profile, suggesting they may prove to be effective leads for new drugs. 2024 Wiley-VCH GmbH. -
Imidazopyridine chalcones as potent anticancer agents: Synthesis, single-crystal X-ray, docking, DFT and SAR studies
New imidazopyridinechalcone analogs were synthesized through the ClaisenSchmidt condensation reaction. The newly synthesized imidazopyridine-chalcones (S1S12) were characterized using spectroscopic and elemental analysis. The structures of compounds S2 and S5 were confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The global chemical reactivity descriptor parameter was calculated using theoretically (DFT-B3LYP-3-211, G) estimated highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital values and the results are discussed. Compounds S1S12 were screened on A-549 (lung carcinoma epithelial cells) and MDA-MB-231 (M.D. Anderson-Metastatic Breast 231) cancer cell lines. Compounds S6 and S12 displayed exceptional antiproliferative activity against lung A-549 cancer cells with IC50 values of 4.22 and 6.89 M, respectively, compared to the standard drug doxorubicin (IC50 = 3.79 ?M). In the case of the MDA-MB-231 cell line, S1 and S6 exhibited exceptionally superior antiproliferative activity with IC50 of 5.22 and 6.50 ?M, respectively, compared to doxorubicin (IC50 = 5.48 ?M). S1 was found to be more active than doxorubicin. Compounds S1S12 were tested for their cytotoxicity on human embryonic kidney 293 cells, which confirmed the nontoxic nature of the active compounds. Further molecular docking studies verified that compounds S1S12 have a higher docking score and interacted well with the target protein. The most active compound S1 interacted well with the target protein carbonic anhydrase II in complex with pyrimidine-based inhibitor, and S6 with human Topo II? ATPase/AMP-PNP. The results suggest that imidazopyridine-chalcone analogs may serve as new leads as anticancer agents. 2023 Deutsche Pharmazeutische Gesellschaft. -

Technology-based scalable business models: Dimensions and challenges of a new populist business model
Technology based scalable businesses (TSB) have made a significant impact on our lives. The landscape change driven by TSBs has forced many well-established brick-and-mortar businesses to relook at their business models. Despite the influential strides made by TSBs in altering the business landscape the business literature on them is scant. This chapter is a modest attempt to examine TSBs. Scalable businesses could be broadly described as those that can achieve a disproportionate increase in sales/revenue/profits compared to the costs incurred, primarily aided by technology. Google and Uber are examples of how new industries get created and how existing industry landscapes get changed because of technology. Interlinking of technology has offered hitherto unexperienced growth opportunities to such companies. However, the uniqueness of these businesses leaves much to be desired from conventional metrics in adequately explaining the performance of technology-based scalable businesses. 2024, IGI Global.

Mindfulness: An emotional aid to the glass ceiling experiences
We have progressed to a phase where there is very little difference between men and women, but the reality in many countries is that women are looked down as the inferior gender and not given career opportunities to explore. They are not let into the decision-making roles at the organization even when they have an equal qualification, experience and skill. They are placed low in the hierarchy which allows them to witness the functions at the higher level of the organization but restricts them from participating in them. There are a lot of factors like cultural, socio-demographic factors and society itself that influence this disparity in the organization. These contributory factors create the glass ceiling phenomenon at the workplace, thereby generating emotional and psychological imbalances in women employees. This is a conceptual paper aiming to explore the concept and impact of mindfulness, and various concepts of mindfulness could be used as an emotional aid to treat the psychological effects of the glass ceiling. It further explains some of the mindful concepts like mindful walking, mindful life and mindfulness-based stress reduction technique in treating some of the psychological and emotional issues like depression, anxiety, frustration, traumatic experiences, adjustment issues, addiction, stress, low self-esteem, low self-confidence and aggression. It also elucidates adopting mindfulness techniques in real organizational scenarios where women are constantly discriminated because of their gender and opportunities are taken away. 2021 The Author(s).
