Abstract

Blended learning (BL), which combines online digital tools with traditional face-to-face instruction, has gained increasing prominence in higher education, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic. This study conducts a systematic review of 50 peer-reviewed empirical studies (2020–2024) to evaluate the impact of BL on academic performance, student engagement, and learner satisfaction. The results reveal that BL enhances learning outcomes when supported by responsive instruction, flexible access, and structured digital platforms, particularly in STEM disciplines. However, the effectiveness of BL is highly context-dependent. Disciplines relying on interpretive and dialogic learning, as well as under-resourced institutions, often experience minimal or negative effects, especially in asynchronous-heavy models. The review also identifies a decline in student engagement beyond the fourth week in flex-only formats, suggesting that synchronous interaction is critical for sustained motivation and retention. Key barriers to effective implementation include faculty workload, digital inequality, and institutional inertia. Addressing these challenges requires structured faculty development, investment in accessible technology, and alignment with discipline-specific pedagogy. This review affirms the pedagogical value of BL but emphasizes the need for inclusive, adaptive, and strategically supported approaches to ensure its sustainable integration across diverse educational settings.

Abstract

The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) into educational environments signifies a transformative shift towards smart classrooms, enabling real-time data-driven instruction, environmental optimization, and personalized learning experiences. This study explores the opportunities, challenges, and future directions of IoT deployment in academic settings through a mixed-methods approach that combines quantitative analysis, qualitative interviews, and IoT-edge data assessment. Survey responses from 150 educators and interviews with 20 key stakeholders revealed significant adoption rates and pedagogical benefits, including enhanced engagement and individualized feedback. However, critical challenges such as data privacy, cybersecurity risks, limited teacher training, and infrastructure disparities hinder widespread implementation. A machine learning framework utilizing Random Forest classification was applied to a custom IoT-edge dataset, uncovering correlations between environmental variables and student behavior. High temperatures negatively affected classroom occupancy, while increased light intensity correlated with heightened engagement. Model evaluation yielded strong performance metrics, including an accuracy of 95% and an AUC of 0.99, highlighting the predictive power of features like learning outcomes and engagement scores. The findings emphasize the dual importance of technical readiness and pedagogical adaptation, advocating for policy support, ethical data governance, and teacher capacity-building to fully realize IoT’s potential in shaping adaptive, equitable, and intelligent learning ecosystems.

Abstract

Parasitic computing is a provocative concept enabling one system to offload computational tasks to remote hosts without explicit consent by exploiting communication protocols such as TCP/IP. While initially demonstrated as a conceptual hack, its implications for distributed computing, ethics, and resource optimization remain underexplored in modern contexts. This study revisits the original parasitic computing model, focusing on operational feasibility, technical efficiency, and ethical boundaries. We implement a Python-based simulation that encodes logical operations (AND, OR) into TCP packets by manipulating checksum fields—a core mechanism of the parasitic approach. We conducted over 6,000 packet transmissions across various network latency conditions using loopback and LAN environments to measure success rates, response times, and failure thresholds. Results show that logical operations can succeed under low-latency conditions with over 94% accuracy, but performance degrades sharply under higher round-trip times, dropping below 70%. These findings suggest parasitic computing may be technically viable within tightly controlled environments but face significant limitations in broader network applications. The researchers critically examine ethical considerations, emphasizing the risks of unauthorized computation, resource exploitation, and potential security breaches. This study contributes a reproducible methodology and empirical data, offering a renewed perspective on parasitic computing’s technical boundaries and future potential. It further calls for responsible experimentation and proposes hybrid models combining parasitic techniques with legitimate distributed computing frameworks and new safeguards to detect and mitigate unintended abuses. The paper proposes directions for improving protocol resilience and computational fairness in open networks.

Abstract

Indoor positioning systems are crucial for public safety, healthcare, and IoT, but Wi-Fi fingerprinting faces challenges such as signal interference, multipath effects, and high computational costs. These issues reduce positioning accuracy and make real-time localization difficult.This paper introduces an Ant Colony Optimization (ACO)-based dual clustering method to enhance Wi-Fi fingerprinting accuracy and efficiency. ACO performs coarse clustering by optimizing initial data groupings, while K-means refines clusters for improved precision. The Weighted K-Nearest Neighbor (WKNN) algorithm is then applied for real-time positioning by selecting the most similar signal sub-bases.Experiments show that the proposed method achieves 100% accuracy in building classification and 91% accuracy in floor classification. For latitude and longitude prediction, Random Forest and SVC outperform XGBoost, achieving MSE values of 0.0048 (latitude) and 0.0055 (longitude). The approach also reduces computational overhead by 93.51%, improving efficiency.The study presents a robust, scalable solution for indoor positioning and introduces the Dual Clustering Wi-Fi Localization Dataset (DCWiLD) for future research. Future work will focus on dataset balancing, BLE/UWB integration, and energy optimization for IoT applications.

Abstract

This review addresses the urgent environmental and health issues posed by the rapid growth of electronic waste (e-waste) and municipal solid waste (MSW), highlighting the role of emerging technologies in crafting sustainable waste management solutions. It explores the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT), deep learning, and optimization algorithms in enhancing waste classification, recycling, and disposal. Key innovations include IoT-enabled smart bins for real-time monitoring, deep learning models like CNNs achieving up to 97% sorting accuracy, and optimization techniques that improve energy efficiency and scalability. The paper synthesizes findings from over 50 studies and emphasizes both technical advances and implementation challenges, such as data limitations, model interpretability, and the lack of robust policy frameworks. Future research directions include explainable AI, edge computing, and global standardization of e-waste regulations. The review is intended for researchers, developers, and policymakers working toward circular economy principles and sustainable smart city solutions.
