Hierarchical enhanced deep encoder-decoder for intrusion detection and classification in cloud IoT networks

10.11591/ijeecs.v39.i2.pp1176-1188
Ramya K. M. , Rajashekhar C. Biradar
Securing cloud-based internet of things (IoT) networks against intrusions and attacks is a significant challenge due to their complexity, scale, and the diverse nature of connected devices. IoT networks consist of billions of devices, computer servers, data transmission networks, and application computers, all communicating vast amounts of data that must adhere to various protocols. This study introduces a novel approach, termed hierarchical enhanced deep encoder-decoder with adaptive frequency decomposition (HED-EDFD), and is designed to address these challenges within cloud-based IoT environments. The HED-EDFD methodology integrates adaptive frequency decomposition, specifically adaptive frequency decomposition, with a deep encoder-decoder model. This integration allows for the extraction and utilization of frequency domain features from time-sequence IoT data. By decomposing data into multiresolution wavelet coefficients, the model captures both high-frequency transient changes and low-frequency trends, essential for detecting potential intrusions. The deep encoder-decoder model, enhanced with deep contextual attention mechanisms, processes these features to identify complex patterns indicative of malicious activities. The hierarchical structure of the approach includes a hierarchical wavelet-based attention mechanism, which enhances the accuracy and robustness of feature extraction and classification. To address the issue of imbalanced intrusion data, a cosine-based SoftMax classifier is employed, ensuring effective recognition of minority class samples.

The responsibility of mathematics teachers to accept technology into their instructional delivery has been a must know knowledge as professional development of Ghanaian teachers is ongoing to welcome the new standard-based curriculum by the end of 2024 at the senior high schools. This study investigated how conventional pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) influences the adoption and perceived utility of technology among mathematics teachers. Conducted with 979 mathematics teachers purposefully sampled from senior high schools in the Ashanti region of Ghana, the study employed structural equation modeling (SEM) to analyze the relationship between technology knowledge (TK), PCK, and perceived technology usefulness (PTU). The findings indicated a direct relationship between TK and PTU, with no significant mediation effect of PCK observed. Furthermore, professional experience (PE) did not moderate this relationship. However, TK was found to significantly influence PCK, thereby impacting the quality of instruction provided by teachers. Additionally, PCK was identified as a significant predictor of PTU. The study implications lies in its anticipation that Ghanaian mathematics teachers’ TK is perceived to enable them to leverage digital tools and resources effectively to connect it to their PCK, ultimately to lead to more engaging, effective, and impactful mathematics instruction delivery.

Abhinav Kumar Shandilya , Dilip Kumar
This study investigates the factors influencing undergraduate students’ acceptance and usage of digital exam pads in the context of Indian higher education by utilizing the variables of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) and its extended version, UTAUT2. The shift towards paperless examinations is vital for sustainability and efficiency in education, yet understanding the determinants of student adoption remains a challenge. To address this, the study collected data from 480 undergraduate students from Jharkhand and Karnataka, India, and the proposed model was tested using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results revealed that performance expectancy (PE), effort expectancy (EE), social influence (SI), facilitating conditions (FC), and hedonic motivations (HM) significantly influence students’ behavioral intentions to use digital exam pads, which in turn positively affect actual usage behavior (UB). Additionally, gender was found to moderate the relationship between HM and BI. The study concludes that the UTAUT model effectively explains digital exam pad adoption, offering practical insights for universities aiming to implement such technologies. The findings underscore the need for targeted strategies to enhance student engagement with digital tools, particularly considering gender differences.

Ragmi M. Mustafa , Kujtim R. Mustafa , Refik Ramadani
Intelligent electronic systems are increasingly prevalent in modern society. The development of smart bedrooms for young children, especially those with developmental disabilities, it is based on the responses of passive infrared (PIR) and light dependent resistor (LDR) sensors. The PIR sensor detects children’s movement during the night, triggering the microcontroller to send a bit of 1 to the microcontroller pin connected to an electromagnetic relay, which then switches on a 220 VAC light to illuminate the bedroom. This only occurs if the LDR sensor has high resistance, indicating that the environment is completely dark. The functionality of this intelligent system mainly depends on the program code (sketch) uploaded to the Arduino UNO microcontroller module. The microcontroller is programmed to perform specific functions based on the sensors data. It is based on the responses of PIR and LDR sensors. The PIR sensor detects children’s movement during the night, triggering the microcontroller to send a bit of 1 to the microcontroller pin connected to an electromagnetic relay, which then switches on a 220 VAC light to illuminate the bedroom.

Mahmoud Elsaid Badawy , Tawfik Soliman , Mohamed Ali Nemt-allah
In today’s academic landscape, there is growing concern about the rise of academic entitlement among students and its potential impact on their psychological resilience. This study aimed to examine the relationship between academic entitlement and psychological resilience among university students, and to determine if academic entitlement subscales can predict resilience. The participants were 746 male undergraduate students from the Faculty of Education at Al-Azhar University, aged 19-25 years (M=21.41, SD=.952). Students completed the academic entitlement scale (AES) and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). The results revealed a significant negative correlation between overall academic entitlement and psychological resilience (r=-.801, p<.01), supporting the first hypothesis. Multiple regression analysis showed that both academic narcissism (β=-.237, p<.001) and academic outcome (β=.132, p<.001) subscales were significant predictors of psychological resilience, confirming the second hypothesis. These findings suggest that addressing entitled attitudes and fostering resilience should be key priorities for higher education institutions. Implications include developing targeted interventions to reduce academic entitlement and enhance resilience among students, potentially improving their academic performance and psychological well-being. Future research should explore additional factors influencing this relationship and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions across diverse student populations.

Ameen Shaheen , Wael Alzyadat , Aysh Alhroob , A. Nasser Asfour
To improve customer satisfaction during the requirement engineering process and create higher consistency in the developed software, there is a growing trend toward the development and delivery of software in an incremental manner. This paper introduces a novel approach to prioritizing the initial development of core subsystems. This prioritization ensures that the most critical subsystems, which contribute significantly to the project’s overall success, are addressed first. Our method involves employing an incremental model with iterative modeling, where each subsystem is assigned a profitability score ranging from 1 to 10. The iterative model is then utilized to identify the most suitable subsystem for the next development stage. The results of our study indicate that utilizing the total profit weight in conjunction with the iterative model effectively identifies the central subsystem of the entire project. This approach proves to be the optimal starting point for development, helping streamline the process and contribute to a more efficient software delivery strategy.

This study examines the impact of experiential financial education on financial literacy and wellbeing among Chinese university students. In response to the growing demand for practical financial skills in China, where traditional financial education often focuses on theory, a mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design was used. The quantitative phase employed a quasi-experimental method, involving an experimental group (EG) receiving experiential education and a control group (CG) following traditional methods, each with 60 students recruited through purposive sampling. Data on financial literacy and wellbeing were collected via pre- and post-intervention questionnaires. To gain deeper insights, qualitative interviews were conducted with nine students using voluntary sampling. The quantitative results showed that the EG significantly outperformed the CG in financial literacy (knowledge, behavior, and attitude) and financial wellbeing (security, resilience, control, and freedom of choice). Qualitative findings reinforced these results, revealing themes such as the practical application of financial knowledge, increased confidence, higher engagement, and the relevance of lessons to real-world financial challenges. Overall, the study underscores the importance of incorporating experiential learning into financial education to boost literacy and wellbeing, providing valuable insights for regions where practical financial education is still evolving.

This research contributes to creating a proposed architectural model by utilizing several machine learning (ML) algorithms, heatmap correlation, and ML interpretation. Several algorithms are used, such as K-nearest neighbors (KNN) to the adaptive boosting (AdaBoost) algorithm, and heatmap correlation is used to see the relationship between variables. Finally, select K-best is used in the results, showing that several proposed model ML algorithms such as AdaBoost, CatBoost, and XGBoost have accuracy, precision, and recall of 94% and an F1-score of 93%. However, the computing time the best ML is AdaBoost with 0.081s. Then, finally, the proposed model results of the interpretation of AdaBoost using select K-best are the best features “last revenue” and “first revenue” with k feature values of 0.58 and 0.196, these features influence the success of the business. The results show that the proposed model successfully utilized model classification, correlation, and interpretation. The proposed model still has weaknesses, such as the ML model being outdated and not having too many interpretation features. The future research might maximize with ML models and the latest interpretations. These improvements could be in the form of ML algorithms that are more immune to data uncertainty, and interpretation of results with wider data.
