The capacity to search through encrypted data whilst maintaining its integrity meets the most important demand for security and confidentiality in a society that is increasingly dependent on cloud-based services and data storage. SSE offers efficient processing of queries over encrypted datasets, allowing entities to comply with data privacy rules while preserving database usability. Our research goes into this need, concentrating on the development and thorough testing of an SSE system based on Curtmola’s architecture and employing Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in Cypher Block Chaining (CBC) mode. A primary goal of the research is to conduct a thorough evaluation of the security and performance of the system. In order to assess search performance, a variety of database settings were extensively tested, and the system's security was tested by simulating intricate threat scenarios such as count attacks and leakage abuse. The efficiency of operation and cryptographic robustness of the SSE system are critically examined by these reviews.","PeriodicalId":484462,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Informatics and Web Engineering","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139837629","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}

As a result, these independent hotels often resort to online platforms such as Agoda and Airbnb to expand their customer base. However, this approach comes at the cost of losing revenue to Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) that solely focus on room sales, hindering the establishment of a strong brand image for boutique hotels and resorts. Considering the heavy reliance on OTAs, this paper focuses on the development of GoHoliday, a cross-platform mobile app prototype that aims to bridge the gap between boutique hotels and users. This mobile application seamlessly integrates a booking engine, an AI assistant for trip planning, and an experience-sharing platform, enhancing the app's capabilities alongside other features. By implementing the GoHoliday mobile application, boutique hotels can maximize their reach and establish a distinct brand identity by directly serving their valuable guests with more personalized arrangements.","PeriodicalId":484462,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Informatics and Web Engineering","volume":"130 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139838760","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}

The gathered tweets were classified into event and non-event tweets and LDA was applied to the event tweets. Manglish event tweets were pre-processed using the proposed term standardisation technique. As a result, LDA has proved its efficiency in topic detection for both English and Manglish tweets with better performance for Manglish tweets; The best event detection rate of the LDA_English model was at the likelihood of 80% while the best detection rate of the LDA_Manglish model was at a likelihood of 60%.","PeriodicalId":484462,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Informatics and Web Engineering","volume":"132 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139837896","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}

To tackle these challenges, researchers have explored various algorithms to enhance learning performance and alleviate local minima problems. This study introduces a novel approach that integrates the Crow Search Algorithm (CSA) with RBFNN to augment the learning process and address the local minima issue associated with RBFNN. The study evaluates the performance of this innovative model by comparing it to state-of-the-art models like Flower-pollination-RBNN (FP-NN), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and the conventional RBFNN. To assess the efficacy of the proposed model, the study employs specific datasets, such as the Breast Cancer and Thyroid Disease datasets from the UCI Machine Repository. The simulation results illustrate that the proposed model surpasses other models in terms of accuracy, exhibiting lower Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) values. Specifically, for the Breast Cancer dataset, the proposed model attains an accuracy of 99.9693%, MSE of 0.000307024, and MAE of 0.00789449.

Hence, challenges in choosing a suitable deep-learning technique to tackle the problem should be addressed. Plant diseases have a detrimental effect on agricultural yield, hence early detection is crucial to prevent food insecurity. To identify and categorise the indications of plant diseases, numerous developed or modified DL architectures are utilised. This paper aims to observe the performance of the YOLOv8 model, which has better performance than its predecessors, on a small-scale plant disease dataset. This paper also aims to improve the accuracy and efficiency of plant disease detection and classification methods by proposing an optimised and lightweight YOLOv8 architecture model. It trains the YOLOv8 model on a public dataset and optimises the YOLOv8 algorithm with the integration of the GhostNet module into the backbone architecture to cut down the number of parameters for a faster computational algorithm. In addition, the architecture incorporates a Coordinate Attention (CA) mechanism module, which further enhances the accuracy of the proposed algorithm. Our results demonstrate that the combination of YOLOv8s with CA mechanism and transfer learning obtained the best result, yielding score of 72.2% which surpassed the studies that utilised the same dataset.

There are different severity of adhesive capsulitis but patients afflicted with frozen shoulder typically will experience stiffness, severe pain, and reduced range of motion (ROM) for the shoulder. No matter the course of treatment being non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or steroid injections, which can help reduce the inflammation and reduce pain, in order to restore ROM for the afflicted shoulder joint, rehabilitation exercises need to be performed. Even without the current climate where medical workers are severely overworked, physical therapists are in short order especially for developing countries like Malaysia. A remedy for this situation would be to deploy home rehabilitation instead. This would be a way for patients to get proper rehabilitation exercises in between visits to the clinic to meet the physical therapist. This can also reduce the frequency of in-clinic visits while still allowing the patient to progress in the rehabilitation of their afflicted shoulder joint. Though home rehabilitation seems like a clear solution, it does come with its own set of challenges. How open will the patients themselves be to utilizing a home rehabilitation system? In light of that, this paper proposes a home rehabilitation framework focusing on a marker free visual-based implementation using the Microsoft Kinect camera. The framework will measure the impact of variables such as capability, motivation and opportunity on the adoption rate of the home rehabilitation. Cronbach’s Alpha tests were conducted to ascertain the reliability of the variables used in the framework.","PeriodicalId":484462,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Informatics and Web Engineering","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134989651","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}
