Enhanced Non-Invasive Blood Glucose Monitoring System Employing Wearable Optical Technology

Diabetes presents significant health risks globally, necessitating precise blood glucose monitoring to prevent serious repercussions including blindness, renal illness, kidney failure, heart disease, and even death from hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia, it is imperative to maintain normal blood glucose levels. However, regular blood glucose monitoring can be difficult for diabetics, and current non-invasive techniques sometimes do not assess blood sugar levels accurately or directly. In order to solve this problem, this study suggests a wearable optical system that is affordable and low-complexity. In this study, a wearable optical system has been proposed which can address the challenges in the accuracy and convenience in existing methods. This system used an Arduino Nano as a central control unit and a laser-transmitted module for blood glucose measurement. Light Dependent Resistors (LDRs) is used to detect and measure the intensity of laser light passing through the skin and impressed by blood glucose levels. The results are displayed on Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED). During one weak trial, the system achieved average error present of 7.6% and 3.9% for before and after meal blood glucose concentration. The aim of this study is to enhance the lifestyle of diabetic patients by providing user-friendly technology for convenient blood glucose monitoring. It focuses on the potential benefits of non-invasive approaches and concentrates on the importance of the proposed wearable optical system in improving healthcare outcomes.

Comparison Between ARIMA and EEMD+ARIMA Models in Forecasting Electricity Consumption

Accurate forecasting of future electricity consumption is necessary to create a satisfactory design for an electricity distribution system. To enhance forecasting accuracy, autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) was compared with hybrid of ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) plus autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) denoted by (EEMD+ARIMA), to know which model is better performing a historical US monthly electricity consumption from DEC-2000 to SEP-2022 were used. The data were divided into training set (90%) and testing set (10%) to insure the model accuracy. The mean absolute square error, root mean square error, mean absolute error and mean absolute percentage error measurements were used to test the ARIMA and hybrid EEMD+ARIMA performance, the results show that the hybrid EEMD+ARIMA outperforms ARIMA model with the lowest RMSE, MAE, MPE, MAPE, MASE. For the best model, Akaike Information Criterion and Bayesian Information Criterion were applied to choose the best. The results show that the AIC and BIC of the EEMD+ARIMA were lower than the ARIMA model, which indicates that the EEMD+ARIMA is better than the single ARIMA in forecasting of electricity consumption. The conclusion reveals that the hybrid EEMD+ARIMA provides more accurate forecasting and performs significantly better than the ARIMA in forecasting of electricity.

AI-based model for fraud detection in bank systems

Due to the very high direct or indirect costs of fraud, banks and financial institutions seek to accelerate the recognition of the activities of fraudsters. The reason for this is its direct effect on serving the customers of these institutions, reducing operating costs and remaining as a reliable and valid financial service provider. On the other hand, in recent years, with the development of information and communication technology, electronic banking has become very popular. In the meantime, it is inevitable to use fraud detection techniques to prevent fraudulent actions in banking systems, especially electronic banking systems. In this paper, a method has been developed that leads to the improvement of fraud detection in information security and cyber defense systems. The main purpose of fraud detection systems is to predict and detect false financial transactions and improve the intrusion detection system using information classification. In this regard, the genetic algorithm, which is known as one of the stochastic optimization methods, is used. At the end, the results of the genetic algorithm have been compared with the results of the decision tree classification and the regression tree. The simulation results show the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.

Design and Implementation of IoT-Based Weather Monitoring System

Due to advancement in technology, various fields have boosted the development of systems that improve people’s life quality, contributing to the welfare of the community by providing relevant and pertinent information for decision-making. On the Internet of Things (IoT), the systems demand measuring and monitoring several environmental variables. The heterogeneity of the captured data and the measuring instruments used to hinder the interoperability among the different components of the IoT. The problems are raised an interest in the development of methods and tools that support the heterogeneity of the data from the sensors, the measurements, and the measuring devices. Some existing tools have resolved some of these interoperability problems.  However, it forces to IoT developers to use sensors from specific brands, limiting their generalized use in the community. Furthermore, it is required to solve the challenge of integrating different protocols in a same IoT project. Besides, by generating alerts, it may help making decisions daily, considering the data provided by the sensors. it is required to solve the challenge of integrating different protocols in a same IoT project. To overcome the limitations of the existing glitches, there is need to develop a framework based on network of sensors via software that allows communication-using protocols in a specific environment to monitor the quality of air and to alarm users about this. In this paper, a prototype of proposal is mentioned about the architecture, list of hardware, software and different APIs are utilized to gather data in a systematic way so as users can visualize data in a semantic view. The visualization is shown later by using Matplotlib, Seaborn tools of Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) to plot the temperature along with humidity in a historical span. The result shows that accuracy obtained via Machine Learning Classifier is 87% in the context of Weather Prediction.

Adaptive Ensembled Fusion Based Deep CNN-Bilstm Model For Heart Disease Prediction In IoT

Internet-of-Things (IoT)-based heart disease prediction is a complex task and processing the real collected data directly for remote patient monitoring suffers from the limitations due to the irrelevant data features, affecting the prediction accuracy and raising the security concerns. Hence, the efficient Adaptive ensembled deep Convolution neural network –Bidirectional Long Short Term Memory (Adaptive ensembled deep CNN-BiLSTM ) classifier model is proposed via the fusion of interactive hunt-based CNN and Whale on Marine optimization (WoM)-based deep BiLSTM. The Adaptive optimization developed from the standard hybrid characteristics such as random searching, seeking, attack prohibition, following, and waiting characteristics optimized the fusion parameters of the developed classifier for attaining high detection accuracy. Additionally, the modified Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) based Diffi-Huffman encryption algorithm provides the authentication and security of sensitive patient data in heart disease prediction. The developed model is evaluated with other competent methods in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, specificity as well as F-measure, which are reported as 97.573%, 98.012%, 97.592%, and 97.705% respectively.

Technology Fusion in Assessment: Test Anxiety and Academic Achievement in Tertiary Institutions

The fusion of computer technologies has had a remarkable impact on contemporary culture, as computers have a substantial impact on practically all aspects of learning; nonetheless, some students have claimed that they still feel uncomfortable when using computers. Test anxiety related to computer–assisted assessment (CAA) is a main factor that is expected to influence students’ academic achievement. Learning math in the digital environment could be a challenging process for students which could increase anxiety levels among them. The current quantitative research study pursues to measure students’ levels of anxiety that result from learning and assessment with computers and discover whether anxiety level is associated with students' academic achievement in tertiary institutions. Descriptive analysis and Correlation Coefficient are the employed statistical techniques to achieve the study objectives. Findings demonstrated that more than 90% of the sample identified with low anxiety levels and there is a noteworthy negative correlation between anxiety levels and students’ academic achievement in math. The findings have implications for practice in the higher education sector in instructional design and university counselling services.

Toward the Believability of Non-Player Characters (NPC) Movement in Video Games

In video games, artificial intelligence is the effort of going beyond scripted interactions, however complex into the arena of truly interactive systems. To make a game world appear more real, these video games must be responsive, adaptive, and intelligent. For example, in real time strategy games, if there is an enemy seeking/hunting the player, it will be moving in paths, turning around and even maybe jumping in order to find the player. In this case, if the enemy acts/moves more real like human, it will be a benefit for making the game more attractive and exciting. This paper aims to develop a fast, intelligent, and realistic pathfinding approach that makes a user feel that he/she is playing with a human being instead of a machine. To achieve this, this paper presents a Heap Heuristic A* Algorithm as an enhancement of A* algorithm, in which the Chebyshev distance is used to control the smoothness of the resulted path and heapsort algorithm to sort the nodes easily without a lot of memory consumption. Compared to the pervious improved A* algorithms, the proposed algorithm produces a smoother path while consuming less memory to get a final result of human like movement. The experiments results showed that the proposed algorithm reduced the computing time by 66.6% using a grid size of 200*200 compared with A*MOD algorithm. Also, they showed that the proposed work takes almost 91ms to find the path compared to 363 ms and 116 ms when Native A* and A*MOD algorithms are used, respectively, Furthermore, the proposed algorithm performance remains stable in the case of increasing the number of visited nodes, despite the changing order of obstacles.

Neutrosophic Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Methodology to Identify Key Barriers in Education

Various educational barriers have negative impacts on teachers, organizations, and students. Identify these barriers and introduce some strategies that give benefits to organizations.   There are different conflicting barriers, so the concept of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) is used to deal with these barriers. We proposed an MCDM Framework to evaluate the education barriers and rank strategies to select the best one. We suggest a TOPSIS method to rank the alternatives. The TOPSIS method is integrated with the neutrosophic set to deal with uncertain information. The weights of the criteria are computed with the mean method. We collected ten barriers and nine strategies in this study. The results show that Promoting teacher motivation is the best of the nine strategies. We created a sensitivity analysis to show the model's effectiveness and the results' stability. The sensitivity analysis is made by changing the criteria weights and ranking the strategies. The results show that promoting teacher motivation is the best in all cases in sensitivity analysis.

Neutrosophic Integrals by Reduction Formula and Partial Fraction Methods for Indefinite Integrals

Neutrosophic mathematics is a branch of mathematics that deals with ambiguity, indeterminacy, and incompleteness in mathematical objects and procedures. To account for Neutrosophic uncertainty, several mathematical concepts—including the reduction formula, partial fractions, and area finding—are extended in this field. The Neutrosophic reduction formula is a technique for summarising simpler words from a complex mathematical expression when the coefficientss a nd/or values may be ambiguous or unknown. By taking the potential of insufficient information into account, expands the traditional reduction formula. A rational function can be broken down using the Neutrosophic partial fraction into several simpler expressions, where the coefficients and/or values may be ambiguous or unknown. By considering, this expands the traditional partial fraction. The potential for inaccurate information. A method for calculating the area under a curve where the curve's form or position may be unknown or ambiguous is area finding via neutrosophic integration. By considering the potential of having insufficient information, this expands the traditional area of searching. These ideas can be used in fields like decision-making, expert systems, and artificial intelligence and are crucial for handling problems in the real world that entail uncertainty, indeterminacy, and incompleteness.
