A conceptual framework for sustainable service quality of calibration
No full textThis study aims to identify and examine the key factors of sustainable service quality that contribute to optimizing purchase orders in calibration laboratories. It proposes a conceptual research framework that enhances both sustainable service quality and purchase orders. Additionally, the research seeks to validate the framework using suitable analytical methods.The study addresses three main challenges: maintaining consistent growth in purchase orders, ensuring the importance of accreditation for laboratories to provide accurate calibration results, and implementing a continuous employee training program to sustain high levels of quality.To address these challenges, the research analyses the relationship between factors such as accreditation, audits, document management, risk management, and staff training (independent variables) and sustainable service quality (dependent variable), with the increase in customer purchase orders serving as the mediating variable.ISO 17025 is a standard for testing and calibration laboratories. While it does not have explicit sustainability requirements, organizations can align with ISO 17025 by incorporating sustainable practices. To achieve sustainability, laboratories can implement employee training programs, strengthen internal and external audits, and address non-conformities through a quality management system that considers risk management and optimized procurement practices, ultimately fostering a culture of sustainability and increasing customer purchase orders.Results and Research Benefit:This study examines the relationship between key factors (accreditation, audits, document management, risk management, and staff training) and their influence on sustainable service quality and customer purchase orders. The findings are expected to provide valuable insights for improving laboratory operations and optimizing customer satisfaction through sustainable practices
Machine Learning-Based Strategy to Detect Sybil Attacks on Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
No full textMobile ad hoc networks pose significant security challenges due to their decentralized nature and limited resources. These networks allow nodes to join or leave freely, without any central authority controlling their entry or exit. Dynamic multi-hop networks can be categorized as either stationary or mobile, and provide rapid and effortless access to information. However, the unpredictable and constantly changing topology of MANETs, along with the dispersion and self-organization of nodes, can make it difficult to predict how the network will evolve. Mobile ad hoc networks are inherently less secure than wired networks due to vulnerabilities in security and constraints in energy resources. In contrast to fixed networks, mobile ad hoc networks use wireless transmission, which exposes them to higher loss rates, delays, and jitter. Moreover, the nodes in these networks rely on finite energy sources, such as batteries. To gain unauthorized access to a large portion of the system, a Sybil attack refers to the ability of a small group of actors to mimic several peers. This study proposes a machine learning-based strategy to identify a Sybil attacks in MANETs by collecting network metrics such as traffic characteristics, communication patterns, and node behaviours
AN EMBEDDED BASED SEATING POSTURE ALERT SYSTEM
No full textAs back pain affects most of the people, and as COVID-19 pandemic spreads, the shift from traditional face-to-face employment to teleworking from time than expected before a computer has exacerbated the spine pain produced by improper sitting posture in an office chair. According to the most recent medical studies, maintaining a proper sitting position over the long run is the best method for shielding laborers from back issues. As a result, an automated method to quantify the degree of incorrectness of teleworkers' and students' sitting posture is required to avoid an occupational risk. The engineering and plan specifics of the seated posture and alert system are presented in this study. This paper examines the plan and execution of a framework for identifying unseemly seating positions. Arduino is responsible for integrating these sensors into the framework. Whenever the framework recognizes wrong seating positions, it alarms the users. The user gets input on their seating stance along with extra factual data. The basic methods are devised for analyzing sensor data in order to detect incorrect seating positions

A Review on the Impact of AI-Based Weather Parameter Analysis on Fruitrot Disease Incidence in Arecanut
No full textThe arecanut is a vital crop in many Southeast Asian countries, particularly in India, which alone accounts for more than half of global production, underscoring its significant economic and cultural importance. However, throughout its life cycle, the arecanut is susceptible to various diseases, affecting everything from its roots to its fruit. Currently, disease detection relies primarily on visual inspection, requiring farmers to carefully examine each crop periodically, which is time-consuming and prone to error. The primary objective of this literature survey is to explore the incidence of fruit rot disease in arecanut and its correlation with various weather parameters. Additionally, this paper outlines the methodologies and techniques that can be utilized to achieve the study's objectives. The selected literature was meticulously reviewed, with notes taken to capture key insights. The gathered information was then analyzed to identify potential gaps in existing research. Moreover, there is a critical need to raise awareness among farmers about the importance of disease prediction and the role of environmental factors in disease development. To address these challenges, we propose a disease prediction system that considers key environmental parameters such as temperature (°C), humidity (%), rainfall (cm), wind speed (m/s), and soil moisture (%) in the crop region. The developed model aims to predict disease occurrence by analyzing the relationships among these environmental factors, providing early warnings to farmers before the disease manifests.

Web Based Graphical Password Authentication System
No full textIn order to provide security and assurance, programs commonlymake use of verification that is dependent on passwords. This isdone for the aim of providing security. However, human behaviors,such as selecting terrible passwords and supplying passwords insquare measurements, are considered to be "the most delicateassociation" in the verification chain. This is because human beingsare the ones who are responsible for these activities. As analternative to alphanumeric strings that are optional, it is feasiblethat consumers will select passwords that are either short ornecessary in order to facilitate quick remember. Both of theseoptions are available to them. The expansion of web applicationsand portable applications has made it possible for individuals toutilize these programs from a broad variety of devices at any timeand from any location. This is possible because of the fact that theseprograms are portable. In spite of the fact that this new innovationprovides an extraordinarily high level of simplicity, it also raises thepossibility that a password could be divulged to bear riding attacks.An adversary can readily identify or use recording equipment that ispositioned outside of the client's location in order to obtain theclient's credentials. For the purpose of avoiding problems of thissort, it is essential for us to make use of an alternative method ofconfirmatory communication. Another method of authenticationthat can be applied in this situation is graphical authentication. Theusage of the picture secret word is the most efficient approach formanaging sign-on, which is less complicated than the process ofmemorizing and generating passwords that are basic. This methodis the most effective method. The process of signing in can becompleted by tapping the relevant places or performing theappropriate gestures over a picture that has been pre-selected. Bothof these methods are acceptable
