Abstract

Cyber threats like malware, ransomware, and DDoS attacks demand fast and integrated detection systems. Traditional network monitoring tools often struggle to identify complex real-time attack patterns. This study evaluates the integration of Snort, an Intrusion Detection System (IDS), with the ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) to detect and visualize cyberattacks effectively. The system was tested against three attack scenarios: a Windows ping flood, port scanning using Zenmap, and SSH brute force attacks via Nmap Scripting Engine (NSE). Wireshark was employed as a supporting tool to monitor raw network traffic. The results indicate that Snort detected all simulated attacks in real time, and the ELK Stack efficiently processed and visualized the alert data. However, limitations in Kibana's dashboard refresh rate slightly hindered real-time monitoring capabilities. Overall, the integration of Snort and the ELK Stack proves effective for network threat detection and analysis, with room for future improvements in visualization performance and automated response mechanisms.

Abstract

User Stories are commonly used artifacts to capture user requirements in Agile Software Development (ASD). They are short, semi-structured statements that describe requirements. Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques can be advantageous for research on user stories. This paper investigates User Stories and NLP about their applications, critically examines existing research approaches related to NLP in user stories, presents the challenges and suggested future work. Relevant papers were obtained from well-recognized digital libraries and scientific databases, including ScienceDirect, Scopus, SpringerLink, and IEEE Xplore. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to filter search results and obtain comprehensive findings. The search results identified 1175 papers published between 2014 until 2024. After applying the inclusion/exclusion criteria, 35 primary studies discussing NLP techniques in user stories were selected. The purposes of these studies vary, encompassing defect discovery, software artifact generation, key abstraction identification in user stories, and linking models and user stories. NLP can assist system analysts in managing user stories. Implementing NLP in user stories offers numerous opportunities and challenges. Exploring NLP techniques and employing rigorous evaluation methods are necessary for high-quality research. As with general NLP research, understanding the context of sentences remains a challenge.

Abstract

The growing use of MOOCs in the post-pandemic era, particularly in developing countries, requires the availability of valid assessment tools to ensure software quality that meets users' needs. However, several tools are still being used without a proper content validation process, which risks producing biased and unrepresentative data. This study aims to evaluate the validity of the content of an assessment instrument designed to measure the dimension of software quality on the Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) platform, particularly in the context of the increased adoption of online learning post-pandemic in developing countries. The instrument comprises 27 statement items representing ten quality software factors: functionality, usability, reliability, performance, security, maintainability, portability, compatibility, support, and integration. The validation was carried out by involving seven experts in information systems and digital learning. The method used is an item-level content validity index (I-CVI) based on a descriptive quantitative approach, with each item being assessed using a 5-point Likert scale. An item is declared valid if it obtains an I-CVI score of ? 0.79. The analysis showed that 21 items were valid; three needed to be revised at the I-CVI value between 0.70–0.78, and 3 invalid items at the I-CVI value 0.70. The functionality, usability, support, and integration quality factors had the highest levels of validity, while the safety and support dimensions showed a higher degree of divergence in the expert assessment. These findings highlight the need for content validation to ensure MOOC indicators are accurate and relevant. The study showed the need for advanced validation tests involving real users and other validation methods, such as Aiken V or the fuzzy analysis hierarchy process (FAHP) to enhance the reliability and practical relevance of the tools developed.

Abstract

Soil fertility is one of the critical factors that affect the productivity of oil palm plants. Inappropriate soil fertility levels can cause suboptimal plant growth and even crop failure. Low public knowledge about soil fertility is also a significant factor. This research aims to build an expert system that can detect the soil fertility level for oil palm plants using the fuzzy Tsukamoto method. This system uses three main parameters as a reference: soil acidity (pH), soil moisture, and soil texture. The fuzzy Tsukamoto method was chosen because it can handle uncertain data and provide more flexible results. The system was developed web-based using the PHP programming language and MySQL database, and tested on 49 soil data points from the Agricultural Extension Center of Matangkuli District, North Aceh Regency. The system successfully detected soil fertility levels accurately and consistently. Tests were conducted on 49 soil sample data from various villages in Matangkuli District, North Aceh Regency, where soil fertility in the Low category was found in 43 villages with a percentage of 84%, soil fertility in the Medium category was found in 6 villages with a rate of 16% and soil fertility in the High category was not found in any town of Matangkuli District with a percentage of 0% with valid fertility classification results and by expert judgment. With this system, farmers and agricultural extension workers can be helped to make the right decisions regarding the feasibility of land for planting oil palm plants.

Abstract

This paper explores the influence of the Indonesian government's palm cooking oil subsidy policies on the welfare of communities in Aceh Province. The Policy aims to stabilise prices, to support producers, and to increase access to affordable cooking oil for consumers. However, empirical evidence shows that the market price frequently exceeds the government-determined ceiling price, which raises concerns about the Policy's effectiveness. To evaluate the actual impact of the subsidy, this study employs a multimarket analytical model in conjunction with an interest-maximising function approach to identify the optimal subsidy level that maximises social welfare. The analysis includes palm and coconut cooking oil as interrelated commodities, with supply and demand modelled using Cobb-Douglas functions. The study focuses on Elasticity as a key determinant in understanding the effectiveness of the subsidy, given that inelastic behaviour in supply and demand significantly affects the price gap between market equilibrium and subsidy-induced outcomes. Simulation results reveal that the optimal subsidy rates are 16% for palm oil and 26% for coconut oil. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis across four scenarios shows that lower Elasticity necessitates higher subsidies, while higher Elasticity can reduce the required subsidy without diminishing welfare gains. The results indicate that producers enjoy most of the welfare gains, although consumers also benefit from lower market prices. Therefore, a well-calibrated subsidy policy, based on empirical elasticity values and multimarket interactions, can lead to a more balanced welfare distribution. The findings underscore the importance of data-driven policy formulation to enhance efficiency and equity in government subsidy programs. Ultimately, this research recommends that future subsidy frameworks integrate elasticity parameters and economic modelling to ensure affordability and sustainability in essential commodity markets.

Abstract

Universities utilize chatbots as assistants for users, especially prospective and current students, to access information and answer questions with relevant answers. This study introduces a new approach to an open-source model-based QA system using Gemma2-2b-it by combining Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and Fine-tuning (FT) techniques. Previously, some studies have focused on only one approach, but this study will combine and compare both methods separately. Raw conversation data from WhatsApp, the main university website, and university PDF documents are used. The Retrieval Augmented Generation Assessment (RAGAS) framework will be used to evaluate the performance of the RAG model. In contrast, precision, recall, and similarity are used to assess the comparative performance of RAG and fine-tuning. The results of the RAGAS show that RAG using the base model is better than RAG using a fine-tuned model, which has 0.78 faithfulness, 0.64 answer relevancy, 0.81 context precision, and 0.68 context recall, so the overall RAGAS Score is 0.72. The comparison of precision and recall of fine-tuning are higher than those of using RAG, but the similarity score is not much different. Furthermore, the potential improvement for RAG of this study can be increased by adding a reranking process in the retrieved context, and fine-tuning of the embedding model can also be added to increase the retrieval process's performance. In addition, further experiments on various datasets and the challenge of overfitting in fine-tuning must be overcome so that the model can also perform better generalization.

Abstract

Extensive research into maintaining coverage over time has been spurred by the growing need for wireless sensor networks to monitor certain regions.  Coverage gaps brought on either haphazard node placement or failures pose the biggest threat to this objective.  In order to identify and fix coverage gaps, this study suggests an algorithm based on swarm intelligence.  Using both local and relative information, the swarm of agents navigates a potential field toward the nearest hole and activates in reaction to holes found.  In order to spread out effectively and speed up healing, the agents quantize their perceptions and approach holes from various angles. The need for wireless sensor networks to monitor certain areas has grown, leading to many studies on maintaining coverage over time. Random node deployment or failures create coverage gaps, which pose the biggest threat to this objective.  A swarm intelligence-based approach is proposed in this paper to identify and fix coverage deficiencies. Even with Their encouraging performance and operational quality, WSNs are susceptible to various security threats. The security of WSNs is seriously threatened by sinkhole attacks, one of these. In this research, a detection strategy against sinkhole attacks is proposed and developed using the Swarm Intelligence (SI) optimization algorithm. MATLAB has been used to implement the proposed work, and comprehensive Models have been run to assess its effectiveness in terms of energy consumption, packet overhead, convergence speed, detection accuracy, and detection time. The findings demonstrate that the mechanism we have suggested is effective and reliable in identifying sinkhole attacks with a high rate of detection accuracy.

Abstract

The distribution of funds for The Indonesia Smart Program (Program Indonesia Pintar, or PIP), as a national education assistance program, faces serious challenges related to the potential for fraud that can harm the state and hinder the goal of equitable access to education. This study aims to develop a machine learning-based predictive model to detect potential fraud in the distribution of PIP funds by comparing two main algorithms, Naive Bayes and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The dataset used is the result of the integration of PIP and DAPODIK data in 2023, as well as additional features of engineering results based on the pattern of audit findings. All data, through preprocessing, normalization, and balancing processes, uses SMOTE to overcome class imbalances. The model was evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score metrics, both on internal and external test data from Banten Province. The results showed that SVMs with RBF kernel and optimal parameter tuning provided the best performance with an accuracy of up to 98.5% on test data. At the same time, Naive Bayes tended to be more sensitive to changes in data distribution in new data. Features such as recipient differences, budget checks, and stakeholder proposals have proven to be the leading indicators in detecting fraud. This study emphasizes the importance of external validation and regular model updates so that fraud detection systems remain adaptive to data dynamics in the field. The resulting model can be used as a tool for supervision and decision-making to prevent fraud in distributing education funds.

Abstract

The swift integration of information and communication technology (ICT) in education has introduced various tools for teaching, giving rise to concerns about technological stress (technostress) among teachers. While prior research has acknowledged the potential correlation between ICT and stress, a comprehensive investigation into the specific stressors affecting teachers is lacking. This exploratory research aimed to put forth the intricate relationship between educational technologies (EdTech) usage and stress among teaching professionals, shedding light on factors influencing technostress and its impact on teachers' individual lives. The comprehension of the wider ramifications associated with the integration of technologies in the field of education. The proposed model determines various stress reasons caused by digital learning platforms, which can help with the remedy measures based on the model findings. The methodology was explicit, multifaceted, and quantitative. Data from 152 teaching professionals were rigorously analyzed, with demographic questionnaire frequencies calculated using SPSS version 22.0 and hypotheses assessed using SmartPLS version 4.0. A Cronbach's alpha of 0.915 indicated that the questionnaire's queries exhibited high reliability. The findings revealed a robust correlation between stressors and their substantial effect on teachers' overall well-being, job satisfaction, and commitment to their respective organizations, emphasizing the significance of addressing technostress in the education sector.
