With the increase of user’s interest in banking sector, transactions are conducted online or via physical credit scanners. Banking sector is easy target for the hackers. Unauthorized person can hostage the bank data by using cyber security threats such as phishing attack, Ransomware attack, and Denial of Service (DoS). The only solution to secure the customer precious data is blockchain. It has the potential to considerably decrease costs and it can completely alter the banking industry. The present centralized banking system can be strengthened using blockchain technology. Due to the transparency, auditability, immutability, operational resilience and data encryption essential in blockchains, it can secure the cyber security, forbid crooked actions and perceived tampering of data. Blockchain technology will deal the movement in the banking industry and associated facilities in prevailing area. Correspondingly inspecting cases both at home and abroad, it might be recognized areas that blockchains are used aggressively, utilized in banking sections are growing into remittance, resolution, smart contracts and reliability. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) technique is used to find the legitimate users by demanding a user to conform multiple identification information. The username and password can easily be hacked by unauthorized person, so we create a new authentication method that can’t be hacked with the help of Blockchain Techn[1]ology. \u0000 \u00001Deputy Director Quality Assurance Agency, Higher Education Commission, Islamabad, Pakistan. \u0000 2Deptt.

They are constrained inside their predetermined realm and have several methods to interact with one another. Technology becomes more engaged in communication over time, and human productivity rises as a result, such as when signals are converted into understandable communications. Since people desire to be involved in whatever they do, Radio Frequency (RF), a form of electromagnetic wave technology, has been developed for communication. RF-based communication technology makes life easier for people, but the exponential growth in demand for the technology has led to high levels of engagement with communication devices—something that is undoubtedly harmful to people and other living things. \u0000The participation and prolonged use of RF devices expose people to more live things that have an impact on their health and the environment. In this study, we will assess the direct and indirect effects of heavy electromagnetic pollution on the ecosystem and the health of living things. The Pakistan region has been chosen since it is among the world's most densely inhabited regions in terms of sample size. When Metaverse is made available to everyone, especially in Pakistan, the metaverse starts generating electromagnetic radiation, which will have a significant influence on electromagnetic pollution, although no research has been able to demonstrate the relationship in comparison to the metaverse.","PeriodicalId":32391,"journal":{"name":"Sukkur IBA Journal of Computing and Mathematical Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45059635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since solar energy is sporadic in nature and its output depends on various meteorological parameters such has the intensity of sunlight on solar panels or soiling on PV panels and any defect or damage to the PV-panel can affect the PV-panel efficiency and desired yield. Therefore, parameters of the PV systems have to be supervised remotely that should offer the stockholders to increase the yield and efficiency at reduced cost and minimum human interventions.

There has been extensive research on automated classification of engagement level, but most of these methods rely mainly on expensive eye trackers or physiological sensors in controlled settings. The proposed system monitors and classifies engagement level of student based on YOLO algorithm by determining facial gestures, where students move freely and respond naturally to lectures and surroundings. The proposed model gives a mean average precision (mAP) of 0.65 on a complex dataset where students were allowed to move freely during lecture.","PeriodicalId":32391,"journal":{"name":"Sukkur IBA Journal of Computing and Mathematical Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45298393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Serious gaming and cognitive learning through assistive applications emerged in the 21st century. Numerous serious gaming applications are developed to combat the issue for effective cognitive learning for dyslexic children and the degree of success is vary due to the lack of standard postulates to design and develop a novel system for such young hearts with pure entertainment that cure their cognitive weakness.

Traditional estrus detection methods like manual observation and chin head chalking are outdated and not suitable for the dairy farm because of large number of animals. A lot of automated estrus detection methods have been proposed like milk yield fluctuation, milk progesterone detection etc., but they are either too complex to implement or have low detection rate. Whereas, the proposed estrus detection method can be easily implemented, cheaply and accurately. This method uses features extracted from 3D acceleration data, obtained using accelerometer attached to cow’s neck. The data is then clustered using k-means into 3 clusters. Categories are assigned based on data variance. As a result, the three clusters are categorized as: low activity, medium activity, or high activity. Based on this information, activity index is calculated and then it is used for the estrus detection. Machine learning classifiers including SVM, and D-trees are used for the activity recognition. SVM and D-tree demonstrate an accuracy of 96% and 86% respectively.","PeriodicalId":32391,"journal":{"name":"Sukkur IBA Journal of Computing and Mathematical Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44216932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a possible way of dengue vector surveillance through acoustic signals generated by wingbeat of Aedes Aegypti using the sequential model of convolutional neural network. Mel-frequency spectrum is given as an input feature to the sequential model that significantly improves classification performance up to 93% accuracy. The system generates notification through a specially designed mobile application to alert detected dengue vectors in the region. It is helpful in continuous monitoring of dengue vectors to take early precautionary measures for effective control and prevention.","PeriodicalId":32391,"journal":{"name":"Sukkur IBA Journal of Computing and Mathematical Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44776266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
