Abstract As healthcare systems increasingly embrace digitalization, effective management of electronic health records (EHRs) has emerged as a critical priority, particularly in inpatient settings where data sensitivity and real-time access are paramount. Traditional EHR systems face significant challenges, including unauthorized access, data breaches, and inefficiencies in tracking follow-up appointments, which heighten the risk of misdiagnosis and medication errors. To address these issues, this research proposes a hybrid blockchain-based solution for securely managing EHRs, specifically designed as a framework for tracking inpatient follow-ups. By integrating QR code-enabled data access with a blockchain architecture, this innovative approach enhances… More >

Abstract Skin cancer is among the most common malignancies worldwide, but its mortality burden is largely driven by aggressive subtypes such as melanoma, with outcomes varying across regions and healthcare settings. These variations emphasize the importance of reliable diagnostic technologies that support clinicians in detecting skin malignancies with higher accuracy. Traditional diagnostic methods often rely on subjective visual assessments, which can lead to misdiagnosis. This study addresses these challenges by developing HybridFusionNet, a novel model that integrates Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) with 1D feature extraction techniques to enhance diagnostic accuracy. Utilizing two extensive datasets, BCN20000 and… More >

Abstract Social media outlets deliver customers a medium for communication, exchange, and expression of their thoughts with others. The advent of social networks and the fast escalation of the quantity of data have created opportunities for textual evaluation. Utilising the user corpus, characteristics of social platform users, and other data, academic research may accurately discern the personality traits of users. This research examines the traits of consumer personalities. Usually, personality tests administered by psychological experts via interviews or self-report questionnaires are costly, time-consuming, complex, and labour-intensive. Currently, academics in computational linguistics are increasingly focused on predicting… More >

Abstract Psychological distress detection plays a critical role in modern healthcare, especially in ambient environments where continuous monitoring is essential for timely intervention. Advances in sensor technology and artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled the development of systems capable of mental health monitoring using multi-modal data. However, existing models often struggle with contextual adaptation and real-time decision-making in dynamic settings. This paper addresses these challenges by proposing TRANS-HEALTH, a hybrid framework that integrates transformer-based inference with Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) reasoning for real-time psychological distress detection. The framework utilizes a multimodal dataset containing EEG, GSR, heart rate, and activity… More >

Abstract Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have emerged as crucial tools for real-time environmental monitoring through distributed sensor nodes (SNs). However, the operational lifespan of WSNs is significantly constrained by the limited energy resources of SNs. Current energy efficiency strategies, such as clustering, multi-hop routing, and data aggregation, face challenges, including uneven energy depletion, high computational demands, and suboptimal cluster head (CH) selection. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a hybrid methodology that optimizes energy consumption (EC) while maintaining network performance. The proposed approach integrates the Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy with Deterministic (LEACH-D) protocol using More >

Abstract This study presents a novel hybrid topology optimization and mold design framework that integrates process fitting, runner system optimization, and structural analysis to significantly enhance the performance of injection-molded parts. At its core, the framework employs a greedy algorithm that generates runner systems based on adjacency and shortest path principles, leading to improvements in both mechanical strength and material efficiency. The design optimization is validated through a series of rigorous experimental tests, including three-point bending and torsion tests performed on key-socket frames, ensuring that the optimized designs meet practical performance requirements.

Abstract As legal cases grow in complexity and volume worldwide, integrating machine learning and artificial intelligence into judicial systems has become a pivotal research focus. This study introduces a comprehensive framework for verdict recommendation that synergizes rule-based methods with deep learning techniques specifically tailored to the legal domain. The proposed framework comprises three core modules: legal feature extraction, semantic similarity assessment, and verdict recommendation. For legal feature extraction, a rule-based approach leverages Black’s Law Dictionary and WordNet Synsets to construct feature vectors from judicial texts. Semantic similarity between cases is evaluated using a hybrid method that… More >

Abstract The network infrastructure has evolved rapidly due to the ever-increasing volume of users and data. The massive number of online devices and users has forced the network to transform and facilitate the operational necessities of consumers. Among these necessities, network security is of prime significance. Network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) are among the most suitable approaches to detect anomalies and assaults on a network. However, keeping up with the network security requirements is quite challenging due to the constant mutation in attack patterns by the intruders. This paper presents an effective and prevalent framework for More >

Abstract To determine the individual circumstances that account for a road traffic accident, it is crucial to consider the unplanned connections amongst various factors related to a crash that results in high casualty levels. Analysis of the road accident data concentrated mainly on categorizing accidents into different types using individually built classification methods which limit the prediction accuracy and fitness of the model. In this article, we proposed a multi-model hybrid framework of the weighted majority voting (WMV) scheme with parallel structure, which is designed by integrating individually implemented multinomial logistic regression (MLR) and multilayer perceptron… More >

Abstract In the recent era of software development, reusing software is one of the major activities that is widely used to save time. To reuse software, the copy and paste method is used and this whole process is known as code cloning. This activity leads to problems like difficulty in debugging, increase in time to debug and manage software code. In the literature, various algorithms have been developed to find out the clones but it takes too much time as well as more space to figure out the clones. Unfortunately, most of them are not scalable.… More >
