From ancient times to the present, the security of secret information has been a key concern. It has long been an area of interest for researchers to create mechanisms for sending data without disclosing it to anybody other than the intended receiver. To facilitate the safe transport of data, researchers have periodically created a variety of approaches, including steganography. Using the synergies that may be obtained by combining cryptography with steganography. This paper's work seeks to improve an innovative approach for hiding a hidden message inside an image. This study developed a new encryption-based method for embedded image steganography, LSB with the RSA algorithm, to upsurge data security. These depicted results were subjected to the comparative analysis of the existing previous predictive models with the present proposed work which is superior to them.","PeriodicalId":53530,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sociotechnology and Knowledge Development","volume":"43 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141809583","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 study was underpinned by the organizational knowledge creation theory (OKCT) and knowledge sharing model. The findings reveal that although modern technologies, such as the internet of things (IoT) and blockchain technologies, have been seen as suitable knowledge sharing strategies by many institutions, the level of their adoption is still low in academic libraries in South Africa, especially in the area of knowledge management. Several recommendations are thus made, and among others are the improvement of technology infrastructure and the enactment of policies for promoting knowledge management and sharing.","PeriodicalId":53530,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sociotechnology and Knowledge Development","volume":" 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141830054","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 formal implementation of the “double reduction” policy has not only reduced students' academic burden, but also increased students' spare time. However, according to relevant data, the current level of anxiety among parents about their children's education is still high, and different parents have different levels of education anxiety. In order to study the impact of the “double reduction” policy on the educational anxiety of parents of primary and secondary school students in the context of big data, this article puts forward some suggestions related to eliminating the educational anxiety of primary school parents based on the existing problems and their causes, so as to create a good educational atmosphere.","PeriodicalId":53530,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sociotechnology and Knowledge Development","volume":"32 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140663302","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}

Results based on SEM analysis identify that the technology dimension partially affects the design dimension, as well there is a partially significant association between the technology dimension and attitude towards technology-based teaching. While the design dimension does not have a significant association with attitude towards technology-based teaching, attitude towards technology-based teaching does not have a significant relationship with student satisfaction.

Metaheuristic approaches are a family of algorithms that seek to find the optimal values for uncertain problems with several implications in optimization and classification problems. An automated system for recognizing illnesses can respond with accuracy, efficiency, and speed, helping medical professionals spot abnormalities and lowering death rates. This study proposes the Novel Hybrid GAO (Genetic Arithmetic Optimization algorithm based Feature Selection) (Genetic Arithmetic Optimization Algorithm-based feature selection) method as a way to choose the features for several machine learning algorithms to classify readily available data on COVID-19 and lung cancer. By choosing just important features, feature selection approaches might improve performance.
