INTRUSION DETECTION FOR MANETS
No full text<p>Mobile Ad hoc networks are playing very important role in the present world. They are applied to several popular wireless technologies including cellular phone services, disaster relief, emergency services, battlefield scenarios, and other applications. MANETs are decentralized networks, and the network topology is unpredictably dynamic because of node mobility. As a result, mobile nodes in MANETs act as both hosts and routers since MANETs are decentralized; all mobile nodes need to discover the dynamic topology and deliver messages by themselves. MANETs rely on the cooperation of all mobile nodes in the network to ensure reliable routing services in the presence of dynamic topology caused by their mobility. The dynamic and cooperative nature of MANETs presents substantial challenges for network security. Therefore, sufficient protection should be provided to secure MANETs to guarantee the integrity of routing messages and availability of routing services. In other words, the goal of this dissertation is to examine how to secure the routing services of MANETs in order to provide reliable communication among nodes. </p>

Business process improvement using multi-objective optimisation
No full textBusiness process redesign and improvement has become an increasingly attractive subject in the wider area of business process intelligence. Although there have been many attempts to establish a business process redesign framework, there is little work on the actual optimisation of business processes with given objectives. Furthermore, most of the attempts to optimise a business process are manual and do not involve a formal automated methodology. This paper proposes a process improvement approach for automated multi-objective optimisation of business processes. The proposed framework uses a generic business process model that is formally defined. The formal definition of business processes is necessary to ensure that the optimisation will take place in a clearly defined, repeatable and verifiable way. Multi-objectivity is expressed in terms of process cost and duration as two key objectives for any business process. The business process model is programmed and incorporated into a software optimisation platform where a selection of multi-objective optimisation algorithms can be applied to a business process design. This paper outlines a case study of business process design that is optimised by the state-of-the-art multi-objective optimisation algorithm NSGA2. The results indicate that, although business process optimisation is a highly constrained problem with fragmented search space, a number of alternative optimised business processes that meet the optimisation criteria can be produced. The paper also provides directions for future research in this area
Assessment of Nurses' Knowledge toward Urinary Incontinence in Al-Hilla City
No full textPurpose: to assess nurses' knowledge toward urinary incontinence, to find out the association between nurses' knowledge and demographic characteristics.
Methods: A descriptive quantitative study design has been dependent in the conducted data at the city of Hilla/Babil Health Directorate/ Imam Al-Sadiq hospital, Al-Hilla teaching hospital, and Merjan teaching hospital during the period December 19th, 2021 to March, 1st 2022. A non-probability (purposive) sample of (60) nurses those who were working in the medical ward, surgical ward and dialysis unit. The main tool used to nurses’ knowledge assessment and data collection was needs questionnaire, and it is consist of two parts: Part 1 included socio-demographic data and Part 2 include (43) items related to nurses' knowledge. The validity of study tool is determined by a panel of (14) experts and reliability of the questionnaire is determined through the use of test and re-test.
Results: revealed that majority of nurses had moderate knowledge regarding urinary incontinence. There was non-significant association between the nurses’ knowledge toward urinary incontinence and their age, gender, educational level, workplace, years of services, training courses.
Conclusion: The most of the nurses whose took part in this study had insufficient information about urine incontinence.Corresponding Author

Morphometric Study of Unusual Foramina of The Sphenoid Bone: Unusual foramina of the Sphenoid bone
No full textBackground: The Pterygospinous and the Pterygoalar foramina are rare anatomical structures on the skull's base near the sphenoid bone. These structures have clinical significance as landmarks in medical and surgical procedures. Understanding the anatomy and incidence of ossified ligaments associated with these foramina is crucial for neurosurgical, dental, and maxillofacial procedures. The present study was undertaken to assess the incidence, structural details and clinical importance of formation of unusual foramina of sphenoid bone in the skulls of Indian population.
Methods: The present observational study was conducted on 200 dry skulls and disconnected sphenoid bones. Direct cranioscopy and digital caliper measurements were used to assess the pterygospinous and pterygoalar foramina, ossification, and location of ligaments. The observed data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 22 software.
Results: Complete ossification of the pterygospinous foramen was observed bilaterally in 1% of bones, with incomplete ossification in 5.5% of bones. In the pterygoalar foramen, complete ossification was found in 2% of cases on the left and 1% on the right sides. Incomplete ossification was observed in 1% on the left side, 2.5% on the right side, and 1.5% bilaterally. The measurements of both foramina indicated that the Pterygospinous foramen had a larger diameter than the Pterygoalar foramen.
Conclusion: The incidence of ossified pterygospinous and pterygoalar ligaments and their foramina formation in the skulls of the Indian population is low. Understanding the prevalence and anatomy of these structures is crucial for medical professionals to diagnose and treat neurological and maxillofacial conditions
Initiating a Flourishing City: Creating a safe environment for young urban families in M4H, Rotterdam
No full textAccording to Dutch Deputy Prime Minister, Kajsa Ollongren, the Netherlands is faced with a massive task of creating one million homes before 2030. Big cities are characterized by the steady sub-urbanization of young middle-class families. Households often leave the city as soon as they want to have children, or shortly after their child is born. In the Netherlands this steady trend of out-migration has occurred since the 1960s, and will certainly continue in the 21st century (Wouden, 2001). CBS Netherlands reported in 2018 that, in the case of the four largest cities (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Den-Haag), some 30% to 40% of families with young children leave the city within four years of the birth of their first child (CBS, 2018). The reason these families leave the city is because the available housing is either too expensive or doesn’t meet their needs. Therefore, they are forced to move to the suburbs, leaving behind their job, family and friends in the city. Meanwhile, the city loses this middle class workers and the social cohesion that families provide. Living in a city like Rotterdam is beneficial for the development of the child since cities offer children exposure and better opportunities to experience public spaces (museum, cinema, etc.) and interact with a diverse range of people. Living in a city is beneficial for parents since they can live near their work, family, social life. Reasons why young families are leaving the city is because their housing needs are not met. By translating the needs of children (space to play, learn and living) and parents (work, leisure, peace of mind and living) into a design proposal, families will stay in the city.Architecture, Urbanism and Building Science
