Abstract

This study delves into the intricate intersection of human behavior, cognition, and technology within the cybersecurity domain, aiming to enhance our understanding of the human-centric challenges influencing the effectiveness of cybersecurity measures. The primary objective is to unravel the nuanced landscape where human errors persist as a significant contributing factor to security breaches, emphasizing the need for a holistic comprehension of human factors. The study recognizes the evolving nature of work, with an increasing number of individuals operating from home, and the consequential challenges in managing human factors in the digital era. The blurring lines between private and public lives, coupled with the rise of social credit systems, necessitate a thorough examination of key elements intersecting with cybersecurity Employing a systematic literature review, this research methodically identifies, filters, and analyzes pertinent literature concerning human-centric factors in cybersecurity. The systematic approach involves the formulation of specific research questions guiding the study, strategic search plans targeting reputable databases, and meticulous study selection processes based on predefined criteria The study unfolds through a series of interconnected research questions, addressing the impact of human factors on operational efficiency, challenges in the adoption of human-centric approaches, and the ways in which human factors influence strategic decision-making in cybersecurity. The results shed light on the substantial contribution of understanding user behavior and cognitive processes to the development of tailored cybersecurity strategies. Challenges, such as security fatigue and the scarcity of psychology-based professionals, are addressed, advocating for human factors engineering and strategic initiatives to enhance education and training programs. In conclusion, embracing a human-centric paradigm emerges as imperative for organizations striving to fortify their defenses against dynamic and sophisticated cyber threats. Integrating technology with a profound understanding of human factors becomes the cornerstone for shaping a resilient and adaptive cybersecurity future.

Abstract

This comprehensive review aims to analyze and synthesize the existing literature on bias in AI algorithms, providing a thorough understanding of the challenges, methodologies, and implications associated with biased artificial intelligence systems.Employing a narrative synthesis and systematic literature review approach, this study systematically explores a wide array of sources from prominent databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect. The inclusion criteria focused on studies that distinctly defined artificial intelligence in the education sector, were published in English, and underwent peer-review. Five independent reviewers meticulously evaluated search results, extracted pertinent data, and assessed the quality of included studies, ensuring a rigorous and comprehensive analysis. The synthesis of findings reveals pervasive patterns of bias in AI algorithms across various domains, shedding light on the nuanced aspects of discriminatory practices. The systematic review highlights the need for continued research, emphasizing the intricate interplay between bias, technological advancements, and societal impacts. The comprehensive analysis underscores the complexity of bias in AI algorithms, emphasizing the critical importance of addressing these issues in future developments. Recognizing the limitations and potential consequences, the study calls for a concerted effort from researchers, developers, and policymakers to mitigate bias and foster the responsible deployment of AI technologies. Based on the findings, recommendations include implementing robust bias detection mechanisms, enhancing diversity in AI development teams, and establishing transparent frameworks for algorithmic decision-making. The implications of this study extend beyond academia, informing industry practices and policy formulations to create a more equitable and ethically grounded AI landscape.

Abstract

The Internet of Things promises transformative benefits for developing countries, ranging from fairly mundane efficiency improvements to markedly enhanced service delivery, yet actual adoption and long-term institutionalization remain slow and decidedly uneven, largely because of persistent security challenges. Privacy breaches, weak authentication, network vulnerabilities, and generally low levels of trust repeatedly emerge as decisive barriers, particularly in resource-constrained environments where even small failures can, in fact, undermine confidence quite severely. This study addresses the gap in synthesizing the security determinants that influence both the adoption and the deeper embedding of IoT technologies. A systematic literature review, guided by PRISMA, was conducted across IEEE Xplore, Scopus, Web of Science, SpringerLink, ACM Digital Library, and Taylor & Francis Online, identifying 25 peer-reviewed studies published between 2020 and 2025. Data extraction focused on security determinants, sectoral focus, regional distribution, and adoption patterns, so the analysis would retain a clear and coherent scope. Deductive coding covering privacy, authentication, and network security was combined with inductive themes related to trust and risk perception, and the findings were synthesized through frequency counts, thematic analysis, and cross-tabulation. Results highlight four dominant security clusters: privacy and confidentiality, trust and risk perception, authentication and access control, and network or infrastructure security. Privacy concerns were most frequently reported, followed quite closely by trust, authentication, and network vulnerabilities. Healthcare and education sectors appear most sensitive to privacy, while Asia dominates the evidence base, with Africa and Latin America still underrepresented. The study concludes that security concerns, while sometimes manageable in pilot phases, become critical barriers to scaling and institutionalization, so policymakers must priorities robust governance, trust-building, and capacity development to realize IoT’s potential in developing-country contexts.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has transformed educational practices worldwide; however, their adoption and effectiveness in developing countries, such as Afghanistan, remain limited. At Badakhshan University, students face challenges including limited digital literacy, infrastructural constraints, and uneven access to AI tools, which may hinder their academic performance. This study aims to examine the adoption of AI applications among students and evaluate their impact on educational outcomes. A quantitative case study was conducted involving 150 undergraduate students from four faculties: Computer Science, Economics, Education, and Agriculture. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive statistics. The findings reveal that most students possess moderate to high awareness of AI tools, with frequent usage reported for assignments, exam preparation, and concept clarification. AI applications were found to improve understanding of concepts, learning motivation, assignment completion, and overall academic performance. Challenges such as limited internet access, lack of technical skills, and insufficient institutional support were identified as barriers to effective adoption. In conclusion, AI technologies can significantly enhance learning outcomes at Badakhshan University, provided that infrastructural, technical, and training challenges are addressed. Strategic implementation of AI can foster equitable access and improve educational performance across faculties.
