A Fast Intrusion Detection System Based on Swift Wrapper Feature Selection and Speedy Ensemble Classifier
No full textZORARPACI, EZGI/0000-0003-0974-7584Due to the widespread use of the internet, computer network systems may be exposed to different types of attacks. For this reason, the intrusion detection systems (IDSs) are often used to protect the network systems. Network traffic data (i.e., network packets) includes many features. However, most of them are irrelevant and can lead to a decrease in the runtime and/or the detection performance of the IDS. Although various data mining methods have been applied to improve the effectiveness of IDS, research regarding IDSs having high detection rates and better runtime performance (i.e., lower computational cost) is ongoing. On the other hand, the dimensionality reduction techniques help to eliminate unnecessary features and reduce the computation time of a classification algorithm. In the literature, the feature selection methods (i.e., filter and wrapper) have been widely used for the dimensionality reduction in IDSs. Although the wrapper feature selection techniques outperform the filters, they are time-consuming. Again, the ensemble classifiers can achieve higher detection rates for IDSs compared to the stand-alone classifiers, but they require more computation time to build the model. In order to improve the runtime performance and the detection rate of IDS, a swift wrapper feature selection and a speedy ensemble classifier are proposed in this study. For the dimensionality reduction, the swift wrapper feature selection (i.e., DBDE-QDA) is used, which consists of dichotomous binary differential evolution (DBDE) and quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA). For attack detection, the speedy ensemble classifier is used, which combines Holte's 1R, random tree, and reduced error pruning tree. In the experiments, the NSL-KDD, UNSW-NB15, and CICDDoS2019 datasets are used. According to the experimental results, the proposed IDS reaches 95%-97.4%, 82.7%, and 99.5%-99.9% detection rates for the NSL-KDD, UNSW-NB15, and CICDDoS2019 datasets. In this way, the proposed IDS competes with the state-of-the-art methods in terms of detection rate and false alarm rate. In addition, the proposed IDS has a lower computational cost than the state-of-the-art methods. Moreover, DBDE-QDA reduces the dimension by 60.97%-82.92%, 73.46%, and 96.55%-98.85% for the NSL-KDD, UNSW-NB15, and CICDoS2019 datasets.Science Citation Index Expande

No full textURFA, OSMAN/0000-0002-9821-671X; Asci, Hulya/0000-0002-6650-6931The aim of this study was to investigate the atemporal mediating role of secondary irrational beliefs in the relationship between primary irrational beliefs and prosocial-antisocial behaviors in athletes. Ninety-two males (Mage=19.83 +/- 2.80) and 32 females (Mage=19.28 +/- 1.44), a total of 124 athletes (Mage=19.69 +/- 2.52) voluntarily participated in this study. Irrational Performance Belief Inventory-2 and Prosocial and Antisocial Behavior Scale were administered, and regression analysis was performed by using bootstrapping via PROCESS macro v4.2. Analysis indicated a significant atemporal direct effect of awfulizing belief on prosocial behaviors toward teammates and opponents. The direct effect of low frustration tolerance belief on prosocial behaviors toward opponents was also significant. Demandingness, awfulizing, and depreciation beliefs had atemporal direct effects on antisocial behaviors toward teammates. There were significant atemporal indirect effects of demandingness belief on prosocial behaviors toward teammates through awfulizing, prosocial behaviors toward opponents through low frustration tolerance, and antisocial behaviors toward teammates through low frustration tolerance and depreciation. In conclusion, there is atemporal mediating role of secondary irrational performance beliefs in the relationship between primary irrational performance beliefs and prosocial-antisocial behaviors.Social Science Citation Inde

Psychological Distress Among Students in Egypt and Jordan During the Initial Months of the Gaza War
No full textIbrahim, Ismail/0000-0002-0805-8181; Nada, Eman Ayman/0000-0003-4313-1513BackgroundPsychological distress has significantly impacted students in Egypt and Jordan. These countries have faced many challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the fallout from the conflict in Syria, and the war in Ukraine. These crises have had far-reaching consequences, affecting the economy, food security, and energy supplies, particularly with the increased number of refugees in these countries. Amid these existing complexities, the ongoing war in Gaza further exacerbates the situation, compounding mental health challenges. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze how the war in Gaza impacted the mental health of students in Egypt and Jordan. MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study involving students from Egypt and Jordan between December 2023 and January 2024. The questionnaire incorporated the Brief Symptom Inventory 18 (BSI-18) to assess the overall general distress score, as well as the domains of anxiety, somatization, and depression. ResultsA total of 1509 Jordanian and Egyptian students were included in the study, of which 66% were female. Approximately 18% of the students had an elevation (>= 50) in their BSI-18 total score. Females scored significantly higher in general distress [30 (18-44.25) vs. 24 (11-41), p = 50) were being Egyptian (OR 1.49, 95% CI 1.08 to 2.08, p = 0.014), watching social media multiple times a day (OR 3.04, 95% CI 1.97 to 4.69, p = 57) were watching social media multiple times a day (OR 3.26, 95% CI 1.78 to 5.99, p < 0.001) and having a Palestinian connection (OR 1.49, 95% CI 1.05 to 2.14, p = 0.026). Only the former was retained in the backward stepwise multivariate regression analysis. ConclusionGeneral distress has increased among students in Egypt and Jordan throughout the War in Gaza. Mental, psychological, and social support activities are necessary for these students, particularly those watching social media multiple times daily. The development of coping skills to manage the additional stressors of war and socioeconomic status necessitates further research within this group of students.Deraya University; Technology & Innovation Funding Authority (STDF); Egyptian Knowledge Bank (EKB) [PPI/STE/2020/1/00014/DEC/02]; Doctoral Schools Programme from NAWA Polish National Agency for Academic ExchangeThe authors thank the Technology & Innovation Funding Authority (STDF) and Egyptian Knowledge Bank (EKB) for paying the publication cost.

No full textAydoner Bektas, Selen/0000-0002-0663-1802BACKGROUND: The coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) has caused various effects, changing people's lives and work styles. During this period, workplaces decided to work remotely, so people spent more time at home. Therefore, workers' personal and work lives were negatively affected. OBJECTIVE: This study planned to compare traditional and remote office workers' occupational balance and life satisfaction in Turkey during COVID-19. METHODS: Google Survey was used for data collection. Three hundred office workers (18-65 years old) from Turkey participated in the study. The occupational balance and life satisfaction levels of participants were assessed using the Occupational Balance Questionnaire (QB-Quest) and Personal Well-being Index-Adult (PWI-A). RESULTS: Data collected were analyzed statistically by the Independent Sample t-test. It was found that the remote office workers had lower levels of occupational balance (p = 0.02; r = -3.317) and life satisfaction (p = 0.01; r = -2.199) compared to the traditional office workers. CONCLUSION: Remote office workers were found to have lower occupational balance and life satisfaction than traditional office workers. In this period, when the way of working changes like COVID-19, it is crucial to determine office workers' occupational balance and life satisfaction and take precautions for their job performance and satisfaction.Social Science Citation Inde
Stress and Quality of Life: the Mediating Role of Happiness
No full textThe aim of the study is to test the mediating role of happiness in the relationship between stress and quality of life. The study uses the Turkish version of the World Health Organization's (WHO) brief Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) Scale to measure quality of life. The WHOQOL-BREF Scale has four main domains: physical, psychological, social relations, and environmental. In addition, the study uses the Turkish version of the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire to measure individuals' happiness levels and the stress sub -scale from the Turkish adaptation of the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-42) to measure stress levels. A total of 216 people aged 18 or older participated in the study. Model 4 in Process Macro was used to test the hypotheses related to the research model. The highest relationship between domain values was obtained between the psychological and physical domains. According to the mediation analysis findings, happiness mediates the relationship between stress and all domains of quality of life. These results emphasize the importance of happiness in individuals' lives. The study has concluded stress to have an indirect and large effect size on all domains of quality of life and found the highest indirect effect size of stress to be on the psychological domain. Based on the results, paying special attention to happiness levels is suggested in order to improve quality of life, the ability to cope effectively with stress and tension, and to empower oneself.Emerging Sources Citation Inde

A New Perspective on Osas Cases With the Baveno Classification
No full textPazarli, Ahmet Cemal/0000-0002-7094-837X; Yakar, Halil Ibrahim/0000-0002-0973-9173Objective/Background: Since the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), which is used in the diagnosis and grading of OSAS, does not adequately reflect the clinical perspective of the disease, the Baveno classification of OSA was developed, which allows multicomponent evaluation of OSAS patients. The aim of our study was to evaluate the application of the Baveno classification in clinical practice. Patients/Methods: A prospective study was performed on patients diagnosed with OSAS between January 2021 and June 2022. Patients were divided into 4 groups according to Baveno classification (Groups A-D) and three groups as mild, moderate, and severe OSAS according to AHI. Results: A total of 378 patients (70% male, mean age 48.68 +/- 11.81 years) were included in the study. The patients had mild (n: 75; 20%), moderate (n: 88; 23%), and severe (n: 215; 57%) OSAS. According to Baveno classification, patients were included in Groups A (n: 90; 24%), B (n: 105 (28%), C (n: 65; 17%), and D (n: 118; 31%). The mean AHIs of the Baveno groups were similar (p = 0.116). Oxygen desaturation index (ODI) was higher in Groups B and D compared to Group A. The duration of T90 desaturation was longer in Groups C and D compared to Groups A and B (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The Baveno classification divided our OSAS cases into equivalent groups. One out of every four patients with mild OSAS was in Group D. This data was noteworthy in that the Baveno classification allows for the identification of symptomatic and comorbid patients with mild OSAS according to AHI and for the application of more effective treatments to these patients. Patients with comorbidities experienced oxygen desaturation for a longer period of time at night, and oxygenation deteriorated in patients with prominent symptoms. Baveno classification was found to be a more reasonable and easily applicable approach in clinical practice.Science Citation Index Expande
