Abstract

This paper explores the integration of distributed systems in public management and its implications for governance, service delivery, and innovation. Drawing on a review of existing literature and case studies, the paper examines the applications, benefits, challenges, and opportunities associated with distributed systems in the public sector. Key findings indicate that distributed systems, such as blockchain technology, offer the potential to enhance transparency, accountability, and efficiency in public management. By providing immutable and auditable records of transactions and interactions, distributed systems can reduce the risk of corruption and fraud while streamlining operations and improving service delivery. However, challenges such as interoperability issues, data privacy concerns, and regulatory complexities pose significant hurdles to adoption. Nevertheless, the adoption of distributed systems presents opportunities for innovation and collaboration, enabling governments to develop novel solutions for governance, resource management, and service delivery. Moreover, distributed systems raise important ethical and societal considerations, emphasizing the need for inclusivity, equity, and social justice in their design and deployment. At last, while challenges remain, the integration of distributed systems holds promise for building more resilient, responsive, and inclusive governance systems that better serve the needs of citizens and society as a whole.

Abstract

The rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have significantly influenced the cybersecurity landscape, particularly in the banking sector, where threats are increasingly sophisticated. Large Language Models (LLMs) such as OpenAI’s GPT-4 and Google’s BERT, offer novel approaches to threat detection, fraud prevention, and automated risk assessment. This paper explores the integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) in cybersecurity frameworks within financial institutions, highlighting their role in real-time anomaly detection, predictive analytics, and intelligent automation of security operations. By leveraging LLMs, banks can enhance their cybersecurity resilience, mitigate cyber threats, and improve regulatory compliance. However, challenges such as data privacy concerns, adversarial attacks, and computational resource demands must be addressed to ensure the secure and ethical deployment of these models. This study provides insights into the current applications, benefits, and limitations of Large Language Models (LLMs) in strengthening cybersecurity measures in the banking sector.

Abstract

Early detection of subtle pathological features in medical images is critical for improving patient outcomes but remains challenging due to low contrast, small lesion size, and limited annotated data. The research contribution is a hybrid attention-enhanced CNN specifically tailored for small object detection across mammography, CT, and retinal fundus images. Our method integrates a ResNet-50 backbone with a modified Feature Pyramid Network, dilated convolutions for contextual scale expansion, and combined channel–spatial attention modules to preserve and amplify fine-grained features. We evaluate the model on public benchmarks (DDSM, LUNA16, IDRiD) using standardized preprocessing, extensive augmentation, and cross-validated training. Results show consistent gains in detection and localization: ECNN achieves an F1-score of 88.2% (95% CI: 87.4–89.0), mAP@0.5 of 86.8%, IoU of 78.6%, and a low false positives per image (FPPI = 0.12) versus baseline detectors. Ablation studies confirm the individual contributions of dilated convolutions, attention modules, and multi-scale fusion.However, these gains involve higher computational costs (≈2× training time and increased memory footprint), and limited dataset diversity suggests caution regarding generalizability. In conclusion, the proposed ECNN advances small-object sensitivity for early disease screening while highlighting the need for broader clinical validation and interpretability tools before deployment.

Abstract

Decision-making in domains such as healthcare, finance, and smart systems demands frameworks that combine model-driven expertise with data-driven adaptability. This paper proposes a hybrid decision support framework that integrates Explainable AI (XAI) with multi-criteria optimization to enhance transparency, robustness, and adaptability. Unlike traditional systems, our approach unifies mechanistic models with machine learning and embeds interpretability and optimization mechanisms. Comparative evaluation against state-of-the-art methods shows consistent performance gains, achieving 15–25% lower error rates compared with data-driven baselines and generating more diverse Pareto-optimal solutions. These improvements highlight the framework’s potential as a reliable, explainable, and scalable solution for complex, real-world decision-making
