Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technologies has led to a significant increase in data volume and complexity, while traditional database systems continue to face challenges in ensuring data security, integrity, transparency, and interoperability across platforms, resulting in higher risks of data tampering, limited audit trails, and the formation of data silos. This study aims to examine and develop a blockchain integration model with conventional database systems to strengthen secure data provenance and enhance interoperability among heterogeneous databases. This research proposes a hybrid architecture that combines on data recording using a permissioned blockchain with off data storage through Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) or Not Only SQL (NoSQL) databases, where blockchain functions as a trust layer that records data hashes, metadata, and immutable change histories, while system evaluation is conducted through security testing, data integrity assessment, auditability analysis, latency measurement, throughput evaluation, data consistency analysis, and cross-platform interoperability testing. The experimental results demonstrate that blockchain integration significantly improves data security and traceability by providing transparent and tamper-resistant audit trails, while enabling secure and consistent data exchange across systems through integration modules and API gateways, despite introducing additional performance overhead compared to conventional database systems. This study concludes that integrating blockchain with conventional database systems is an effective approach for ensuring secure data provenance and interoperable database management, offering a balanced trade-off between security, transparency, and system efficiency, and presenting strong potential for further development in large-scale distributed data environments.

Abstract

The background of this research originates from the critical role of data storage in the advancement of modern digital technology, where centralized traditional cloud storage models have become dominant due to their accessibility and ease of data management. However, the challenges faced by these models include limited scalability, high operational costs, and vulnerabilities related to data security and privacy. In response to these limitations, the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) has emerged as a decentralized storage solution that offers an alternative approach to data storage and distribution. The objective of this study is to compare IPFS and traditional cloud storage based on four key aspects: scalability, security, cost, and performance. The methodology involves a literature review and case studies of IPFS implementation in various practical scenarios. The findings reveal that while IPFS offers superior decentralization and resistance to data censorship, it still suffers from inefficiencies in data re- trieval and challenges in large-scale adoption. The results show that traditional cloud storage demonstrates advantages in access speed and integration capabilities but remains constrained by higher costs and the risks associated with data centralization. The conclusion emphasizes the need for continued research to enhance the efficiency of IPFS and to explore hybrid storage models that integrate the benefits of both decentralized and centralized technologies.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of large scale computer networks driven by cloud infrastructures, Internet of Things environments, and distributed digital services has significantly increased the complexity of cybersecurity threats. Traditional rule based security systems often struggle to detect evolving and previously unseen attacks within high volume network traffic. This study proposes a self learning artificial intelligence approach designed to enhance threat detection capability in large scale computer networks by leveraging adaptive learning mechanisms and large scale network data analysis. The proposed framework integrates machine learning models with big data processing techniques to continuously learn from network traffic patterns, behavioral anomalies, and historical security events. Through automated feature extraction and iterative model refinement, the system dynamically improves its ability to identify malicious activities without relying solely on predefined signatures. This study adopts a qualitative conceptual evaluation approach to examine the proposed self-learning artificial intelligence and big data framework for cybersecurity resilience in distributed computer networks. The evaluation is conducted through literature synthesis, comparative analysis of existing intrusion detection approaches, architectural modeling, and conceptual validation of the proposed framework against key cybersecurity requirements, including adaptability, scalability, continuous learning, and detection coverage for known and unknown threats. The system also shows strong scalability in processing high volume network data while maintaining stable detection performance. These results indicate that integrating self learning artificial intelligence with scalable data processing can strengthen cybersecurity resilience in large scale computer networks and support the development of more adaptive and intelligent network defense mechanisms for future digital infrastructures.

Loneliness has increasingly emerged as a global mental health concern, particularly among vulnerable populations such as the elderly, students in remote learning environments, and individuals experiencing social isolation in urban societies. Advances in affective and positive computing offer promising solutions for addressing these challenges by creating empathetic digital companions capable of responding to human emotions in real time. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of sentiment-aware chatbots as digital companions in reducing loneliness and enhancing emotional well-being through positive computing principles. A quantitative experimental approach was employed, integrating sentiment analysis algorithms with Natural Language Processing (NLP) to detect emotional cues from user input and generate empathetic responses. The chatbot system was tested with 150 participants over a six-week period using standardized psychometric instruments, including the UCLA Loneliness Scale and the WHO-5 Well-Being Index. Statistical analysis using paired-sample t-tests, ANOVA, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) revealed significant improvements in loneliness reduction and psychological well-being among participants interacting with the sentiment-aware chatbot. Furthermore, perceived empathy and user satisfaction were found to mediate these effects, highlighting the emotional quality of human AI interaction as a crucial determinant of positive outcomes. Findings provide empirical evidence that sentiment-aware chatbots can function as effective digital companions, reducing loneliness and fostering psychological resilience. By integrating affective and positive computing principles, this study contributes to the advancement of compassionate AI systems designed to promote human well-being and support broader societal goals.

Abstract

The rapid evolution of digital media has increased the demand for adaptive storytelling approaches capable of sustaining audience engagement beyond conventional linear narratives. This study investigates the integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) into interactive non-linear storytelling to enhance audience immersion and narrative personalization. A conceptual AI-driven narrative framework is proposed by incorporating adaptive weighting mechanisms inspired by modified gravity theory to dynamically adjust narrative progression according to user interactions and contextual preferences. The proposed framework is evaluated through a comparative analysis between conventional branching narratives and AI-driven adaptive narrative structures using engagement-oriented performance indicators. The findings indicate that adaptive AI-based storytelling improves narrative flexibility, emotional engagement, and user agency compared with traditional fixed-choice approaches. Rather than treating narrative progression as a static sequence, the proposed framework dynamically modifies story development based on real-time interaction, enabling a more personalized storytelling experience. The study contributes to the advancement of intelligent media broadcasting by introducing an interdisciplinary framework that combines artificial intelligence with adaptive narrative modeling. These findings provide practical implications for interactive entertainment, digital education, and AI-assisted content creation while offering a foundation for future empirical research on adaptive storytelling systems.
