This study presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of machine learning models for real-time detection of Mirai botnet attacks in IoT networks. With the proliferation of IoT devices expected to reach 75 billion by 2025, the need for robust security solutions is critical, especially given the estimated $100 billion in annual global damages from IoT security breaches. We evaluated four machine learning models—Logistic Regression, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, and Support Vector Machine—us...

Fertigation is becoming increasingly popular among farmers as it ensures consistent and adequate nutrition for each plant. Typically, type A and B fertilizers are mixed manually to achieve the desired EC value, which requires considerable effort from the farmer. In addition, the EC value of the fertilizer mixture varies based on the plant type and growth rate. This is what makes an automatic fertilizer mixing system highly desirable. This project aims to develop an integrated automatic fertilize...

The two known receptors, CXCR4 and CXCR7, for the chemokine stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF1) play a role in the development and metastasis of multiple cancers, including melanoma. CXCR4 receptor signaling influences melanoma cell responses, including proliferation, migration, and metastasis. CXCR7 receptor signaling can also induce melanoma malignancy by increasing proliferation. However, it is unknown if CXCR7 directly affects melanoma cell migration. Here, we blocked CXCR4 and CXCR7 recept...

This study aims to determine and analyze government coordination in flood management, determine and analyze the supporting and inhibiting factors of government coordination in flood management, and determine and analyze efforts to overcome the inhibiting factors of government coordination in flood management in Serang Regency, Banten Province. This study uses the coordination theory proposed by George R. Terry in Erliana Hasan and Eva Eviany (2014) as an analytic tool, which contains seven sub-t...

The research article explores the therapeutic potential of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) gene therapy for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). AD is characterized by neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid-beta plaques, which contribute to neuronal degradation and cognitive decline. BDNF plays a crucial role in neuronal survival, growth, synaptic plasticity, and cognitive functions like learning and memory. AD patients exhibit reduced BDNF levels, particularly in the cortex and hippocampus. BDNF gen...

The study aims to explore and see the effect of work-related stress/job stress on the Work Life Balance of nurses. The rationale of this study is to analyse the relationship between job stress and Work Life Balance among Indian nurses. The study tries to find out whether high job stress is leading to low work-life balance among Indian Nurses. A total of 163 nurses consisting of 74% females and 27% males and the age group of 20 - 68 years was selected. For this study, all the participants were as...

Drug-resistant tuberculosis is a major challenge for the World Health Organisation (WHO). The emergence of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis is becoming increasingly apparent in Lomami hospitals. However, until now the forms reported have been pulmonary. We report here a case of multidrug-resistant extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB), the lymph node form. The case was diagnosed at the Kabinda General Referral Hospital (GRH). This case is reported to draw the attention of clinicians to the diagno...

Accurate prediction of treatment response in bipolar disorder patients with comorbid obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is essential to improving clinical outcomes and minimizing ineffective interventions. The complex interplay between bipolar disorder and OCD often complicates pharmacological treatment, leading to inconsistent results. This study aims to leverage machine learning (ML) techniques to develop predictive models that enhance the precision of quetiapine monotherapy outcomes. The pri...

Bipolar disorder (BD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) frequently co-occur, presenting complex clinical challenges that often compromise treatment outcomes. This case report highlights the beneficial effects of quetiapine monotherapy in a 30-year-old female patient diagnosed with bipolar depression and comorbid OCD. Traditional selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), the first-line treatment for OCD, can induce manic episodes in bipolar patients, necessitating alternative approac...

Introduction: The association of radiocarpal dislocation with enucleation of the semilunate remains a rare injury. It often occurs following violent trauma. Observation: A 25-year-old right-handed patient presented with open trauma to the left hand and wrist. His hand had been forcibly trapped by a car door. Examination revealed a linear wound on the dorsal surface of the hand and a wound on the anterior surface of the wrist. Active bleeding along the radial art...
