In the rapidly evolving landscape of digital healthcare, the integration of cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), and advanced computational methodologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly enhanced early disease detection, accessibility, and diagnostic scope. However, this progression has concurrently elevated concerns regarding the safeguarding of sensitive patient data. Addressing this challenge, a novel secure healthcare system employing a blockchain-based IoT framework, augmented by deep learning and biomimetic algorithms, is presented. The initial phase encompasses a blockchain-facilitated mechanism for secure data storage, authentication of users, and prognostication of health status. Subsequently, the modified Jellyfish Search Optimization (JSO) algorithm is employed for optimal feature selection from datasets. A unique health status prediction model is introduced, leveraging a Deep Convolutional Gated Recurrent Unit (DCGRU) approach. This model ingeniously combines Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) processes, where the GRU network extracts pivotal directional characteristics, and the CNN architecture discerns complex interrelationships within the data. Security of the data management system is fortified through the implementation of the twofish encryption algorithm. The efficacy of the proposed model is rigorously evaluated using standard medical datasets, including Diabetes and EEG Eyestate, employing diverse performance metrics. Experimental results demonstrate the model's superiority over existing best practices, achieving a notable accuracy of 0.884. Furthermore, comparative analyses with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) models reveal enhanced performance metrics, with the proposed model achieving a processing time and throughput of 40 and 45.42, respectively.

The swift global spread of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), identified merely four months prior, necessitates rapid and precise diagnostic methods. Currently, the diagnosis largely depends on computed tomography (CT) image interpretation by medical professionals, a process susceptible to human error. This research delves into the utility of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in automating the classification of COVID-19 from medical images. An exhaustive evaluation and comparison of prominent CNN architectures, namely Visual Geometry Group (VGG), Residual Network (ResNet), MobileNet, Inception, and Xception, are conducted. Furthermore, the study investigates ensemble approaches to harness the combined strengths of these models. Findings demonstrate the distinct advantage of ensemble models, with the novel deep learning (DL)+ ensemble technique notably surpassing the accuracy, precision, recall, and F-score of individual CNNs, achieving an exceptional rate of 99.5%. This remarkable performance accentuates the transformative potential of CNNs in COVID-19 diagnostics. The significance of this advancement lies not only in its reliability and automated nature, surpassing traditional, subjective human interpretation but also in its contribution to accelerating the diagnostic process. This acceleration is pivotal for the effective implementation of containment and mitigation strategies against the pandemic. The abstract delineates the methodological choices, highlights the unparalleled efficacy of the DL+ ensemble technique, and underscores the far-reaching implications of employing CNNs for COVID-19 detection.

A notable association between Alzheimer's Disease and Epilepsy, two divergent neurological conditions, has been established through previous research, illustrating an elevated seizure development risk in individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). The hippocampus, fundamental in both seizure and tumour pathology, is intricately investigated herein. The subsequent aberrant electrical activity within this brain region, frequently implicated in seizure onset and propagation, underpins a complex relationship between degenerative cerebral changes and seizure incidence. Symptomatic manifestations in hippocampal glioma include, but are not limited to, seizures, memory deficits, and language difficulties, contingent upon the tumour's location and size. Thus, the cruciality of proficient seizure detection and analysis is underscored. Employing canny edge detection and thresholding to delineate contours and boundaries within images, an analysis was conducted by transmuting grayscale or colour images into a binary format. The input dataset, utilised for the training and testing of machine and deep-learning models, comprised images of seizures. These models were subsequently trained to discern patterns and features within the images, facilitating the differentiation between two predefined classes. Resultantly, the models predicted, with a defined accuracy level, the presence or absence of a seizure within a new image. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models demonstrated classification accuracies of 96% and 95%, respectively. By analysing performance metrics on a per-slice basis, the localization of seizure activity within the brain could be visualised, offering valuable insights into regions affected by this activity. The amalgamation of edge detection, feature extraction, and classification models proficiently discriminated between seizure and non-seizure activities, providing pivotal insights for the diagnosis and therapeutic strategies for epilepsy. Further, studying these neurological alterations can illuminate the progression and severity of cognitive and emotional deficits within affected individuals, whilst advancements in diagnostic methodologies, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), facilitate an enriched comparative analysis.

Cyclins, commonly referred to as co-enzymes, are a pivotal family of proteins that modulate cellular growth by activating cell-cycle mediators, proving essential for the cell cycle. Due to the marked dissimilarity in their sequences, effective differentiation among cyclins remains a challenging endeavour. In this study, an innovative methodology was proposed, wherein the amino acid composition was utilized to inform an SVM-based classification approach. SVMs, being supervised machine learning algorithms, are typically employed for classification and regression tasks. From the data analyzed, eighteen (18) feature labels were extracted, culminating in an extensive set of thirteen thousand one hundred and fifty-one (13,151) discernible features. Employing the jackknife cross-validation technique revealed that this SVM-informed approach facilitated the identification of cyclins with an accuracy rate of 91.9%, a notable improvement from prior studies. Such advancements underscore the potential for more accurate and efficient differentiation of cyclins in future endeavours.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a progressive neurological disorder, predominantly impacts cognitive functions, manifesting as memory loss and deteriorating thinking abilities. Recognized as the primary form of dementia, this affliction subtly commences within brain cells and gradually aggravates over time. In 2023, dementia's financial burden for elderly adults aged 65 and older was projected to reach \$345 billion, encompassing health care, long-term care, and hospice services. Alarmingly, Alzheimer's disease claims one in three seniors, outnumbering combined fatalities from breast and prostate cancer. Currently, the diagnostic landscape for Alzheimer's lacks definitive tests, and diagnoses based purely on biological definitions have been observed to possess low predictive accuracy. In the presented study, a diagnostic methodology has been proposed using machine learning models that harness image features derived from brain MRI scans. Specifically, nine salient image features, grounded in color, texture, shape, and orientation, were extracted for the study. Four classifiers — Naïve-Bayes, Logistic regression, XGBoost, and AdaBoost — were employed, as the challenge presented a binary classification scenario. A grid search parameter optimization technique was employed to fine-tune model configurations, ensuring optimal predictive outcomes. Conducted experiments utilizing the Kaggle dataset, and for each model, parameters were rigorously optimized. The XGBoost classifier demonstrated superior performance, achieving a test accuracy of 92%, while Naïve Bayes, Logistic Regression, and AdaBoost registered accuracies of 63%, 70%, and 72%, respectively. Relative to contemporary methods, the proposed diagnostic approach exhibits commendable accuracy in predicting AD. If AI-based predictive diagnostics for AD are realized using the strategies delineated in this study, significant benefits may be anticipated for healthcare practitioners.

Abstract

In Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems, a considerable number of antennas are deployed at each base station, utilizing Time-shifted pilot contamination strategies. It was observed that Time-shifted pilot contamination can mitigate the adverse effects of pilot contamination, subsequently reducing Inter-group interference. However, constraints are introduced in the channel estimation process when pilots are time-shifted. To address the challenge of increasing mean square channel estimation errors in finite antenna massive MIMO systems, a novel approach using a Dual Quadratic Decomposition Algorithm for Interference Cancellation (DQDA-IC) is introduced. Through this methodology, data interference gets effectively canceled when base stations collaborate. Furthermore, compressive sensing techniques are employed, resulting in enhanced channel compensation and reduced pilot contamination in massive MIMO systems. Comparative experimental analysis, conducted using the MATLAB tool, pitted this method against two conventional techniques: Integer Linear Programming (ILP) and Q-Learning based Interference Control (QLIC). Results indicated that the DQDA-IC model surpassed its counterparts by achieving a 63% improvement in Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), a 56% reduction in Bit Error Rate (BER), and a 92% enhancement in spectral efficiency, all within a 40 ms computational timeframe.

The impact of the peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) on the efficiency of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) communication system is significantly mitigated through an innovative Reconfigurable Integrated Algorithm (RIA). In this study, the RIA combines the advantages of Partial Transmit Sequence (PTS) and Companding Transformation (CT) techniques, enhancing the overall efficiency while reducing the signal distortion inherent in linear transformation methods. A unique reconfiguration process enables integration of PTS and CT to minimize PAPR. This process considers key parameters including multi-channel inputs and delay attenuation factors. Comparison of the RIA with conventional methods such as PTS, CT, selective mapping (SLM), and Tone Reservation (TR) reveals superior performance, as evidenced by the Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function (CCDFs) curve. Implementations of the algorithm using MATLAB R2022a demonstrate significant improvements in PAPR performance, showing gains of 0.55dB and 0.656dB compared to the PTS and CT methods respectively. Moreover, the novel RIA methodology exhibits enhanced transmission rates and lower Bit Error Rates (BER) relative to conventional methods. In conclusion, the proposed RIA offers a promising approach for optimizing OFDM system performance through efficient PAPR reduction. Its implementation can drive the advancement of telecommunications technologies and further understanding of OFDM communication systems.

Social media, particularly Twitter, has emerged as a vital platform for understanding public opinion on contemporary issues. This study investigates public attitudes towards UK rail strikes by analyzing Twitter data and provides a framework to assist policymakers in the RMT Union and the government in managing social media information. A dataset comprising tweets related to rail strikes from 25 June 2022 to 7 October 2022 was collected and multidimensional scaling and sentiment analysis techniques were employed to examine public opinions and sentiments. The analysis revealed that the predominant trends in tweets were dissatisfaction and negativity, with users expressing inconvenience caused by the rail strikes. Interestingly, the public also questioned the government's capabilities, with some suggesting that rail strikes were politically motivated events orchestrated by the government. Sentiment analysis results indicated that approximately 85% of tweets displayed negative sentiment towards the rail strikes. This research contributes to the understanding of public attitudes derived from tweet mining and offers valuable insights for academics and policymakers in interpreting public reactions to current events. Based on the findings, recommendations for the RMT Union are proposed through the lenses of stakeholder orientation theory and signaling theory. For instance, fostering public engagement can help reduce information asymmetry between the RMT Union and the public, enabling the union to better comprehend public sentiment towards rail strikes. The approach amalgamates these two theories, presenting a novel theoretical perspective for such investigations and extending their applicability, while also providing clear and in-depth recommendations for the RMT Union.

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women globally. Colposcopy plays a vital role in assessing cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and screening for cervical cancer. However, existing colposcopy methods mainly rely on physician experience, leading to misdiagnosis and limited medical resources. This study proposes a cervical lesion recognition method based on ShuffleNetV2-CA. A dataset of 6,996 cervical images was created from Hebei University Affiliated Hospital, including normal, cervical cancer, low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL, CIN 1), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL, CIN 2/CIN 3), and cervical tumor data. Images were preprocessed using data augmentation, and the dataset was divided into training and validation sets at a 9:1 ratio during the training phase. This study introduces a coordinate attention mechanism (CA) to the original ShuffleNetV2 model, enabling the model to focus on larger areas during the image feature extraction process. Experimental results show that compared to other classic networks, the ShuffleNetV2-CA network achieves higher recognition accuracy with smaller model parameters and computation, making it suitable for resource-limited embedded devices such as mobile terminals and offering high clinical applicability.
