The growth of technologies; infrastructures and platforms with less or no security protection in emerging big data and internet of things (IoT) trends increase the likelihood of cybercrime attacks. With the rise of coronavirus disease-2019 (Covid-19) pandemic towards mankind, more cybercrimes are designed to penetrate one’s cognitive mind in revealing sensitive details. In this paper; an exploration of cybercrime threats in Southeast Asia country; Malaysia from year 2008 up to 2020 and its hike trends and impacts will be discussed. An investigation revolving the study of cyber-criminology and the reasoning behind the growth in terms of technological advancement will be presented. The findings suggest that the consequences and impacts of the cyberspace attacks are beyond the loss of money and reputations. It now becomes the failure of the global systemic altogether. As a mechanism to handle this would be to focus on protecting mission critical applications in pervasive environment. In this paper, a comprehensive authentication and authorization framework in safeguarding applications and users in the pervasive environment will be presented.

In this work, a compact dual-band semi-flexible antenna operating at 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz for the industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band is presented. The antenna is fabricated on a semi-flexible substrate material, Rogers Duroid RO3003™ with a low-profile feature with dimensions of 30×38 mm2 which makes it a good solution for wearable applications. Bending investigation is also performed over a vacuum cylinder and the diameters are varied at 50 mm, 80 mm and 100 mm, that represents the average human arm’s diameter. The bending investigation shows that reflection coefficients for all diameters are almost similar which imply that the antenna will operate at the dual-band resonant frequencies, even in bending condition. The simulated specific absorption rate (SAR) in CST MWS® software shows that the antenna obeys the FCC and ICNIRP guidelines for 1 mW of input power. The SAR limits at 2.45 GHz for 1 g of human tissue is simulated at 0.271 W/kg (FCC standard: 1.6 W/kg) while for 10 g is at 0.0551 W/kg (ICNIRP standard: 2 W/kg. On the other hand, the SAR limits at 5.8 GHz are computed at 0.202 W/kg for 1 g and 0.0532 W/kg for 10 g.

Nowadays, the amplitude of the harmonics in the power grid has increased unwittingly due to the increasing use of the nonlinear elements and power electronics. It has led to a significant reduction in power quality indicators. As a first step, the estimate of the amplitude, and the phase of the harmonics in the power grid are essential to resolve this problem. We use the Kalman filter to estimate the phase, and we use the minimal squared linear estimator to assess the amplitude. To test the aforementioned method, we use terminal test signals of the industrial charge consisting of the power converters and ignition coils. The results show that this algorithm has a high accuracy and estimation speed, and they confirm the proper performance in instantaneous tracking of the parameters.

In this research work, a new method is proposed for linearizing a class of nonlinear multivariable system; where the number of inputs divides exactly the number of states. The idea of proposed method consists in representing the original nonlinear system into a state-dependent coefficient form and applying block similarity transformations that allow getting the linearized system in block companion form. Because the linearized system’s eigenstructure can determine system performance and robustness far more directly and explicitly than other indicators, the given class multivariable system is chosen. Examples are used to illustrate the application and show the effectiveness of the given approach.

Pneumonia affects so many people around the world, which leads to many of them being killed. In order to identify and diagnose the disease, the patient must first undergo an x-ray scan of the chest (CXR). Disease will be identified according to the CXR images. Software diagnostic tools are used to help decision-making and to promote the pneumonia diagnosis process. From these tools is the gray level distribution moments (GLDM) algorithm which is used for CXR image features extraction, and we used the meta-heuristic algorithm representing the basic butterfly optimization algorithm using lèvy flight (BOALF) and the modified butterfly optimization algorithm (BOARN) to detect pneumonia on the basis of these extracted features. And then we've also been making hybrid between the BOA with fuzzy membership function to get as novel method called it fuzzy butterfly optimization algorithm (FBOA). These methods were based on various x-ray images of the chest. In testing phase, the proposed method obtained the highest diagnostic rate of the disease compared to the other two methods in this work.

This paper contains a robust hiding system proposed to hide and reconstruct efficiently a large size secret image based on merging encrypting and hiding. This approach deals with a video utilized as a cover of frames to hide the blocks of large image inside it. Frames are selected according to 5D hyperchaotic algorithms and consequently change value of the pixel in the original image depends on it. Secret image will divide into many blocks and hide each block in one frame selected by 5D chaotic. This method will support and enhance the techniques of information security with less time and morecapacity of transmission. The results obtained are analyzed under criteria including: Peak signal to noise ratio, Mean square error, key space and sensitivity, correlation coefficient and capacity of hiding. The results demonstrate both of the secret color image and cover video, where retaining its explicitness and properties after reconstruction in the receiver. However, the results prove stability and reliability of the proposed system under several conditions and can avoid attacks.

The cloud is the framework in which communication is connected with virtual machines, data centers, hosts, and brokers. The broker searches for a highly reliable cloudlet virtual machine for execution. Vulnerability can occur in the network because of which framework gets overburden. A research strategy is introduced in this article to expand the fault tolerance of the framework. The proposed approach improvement depends on the algorithm of ant colony optimization (ACO) that can choose the better virtual machine on which is to migrate the cloudlet to reduce the execution time and energy consumption. The efficiency of the proposed approach simulated in terms of execution time, energy consumption and examined with CloudSim. The introduction is provided in this article with a detailed description of cloud computing and, in addition, green cloud computing with its models. This article also discussed the virtual machine (VM) in more depth in the introduction section, which allows cloud service providers to supervise cloud resources competently while dispensing with the need for human oversight. Then the article submitted and explained the related works with their discussion and then it explained the novel proposed load balancing based on ACO technique and concluded that the execution time and energy consumption of the proposed technique is better than the three-threshold energy saving algorithm (TESA) technique that is commonly used in cloud load balancing.

In electric drive control systems, the main goal is to maintain the driving motor speed to meet the mechanism’s requirements. In some practical industrial applications the mechanically-coupled load to the motor shaft has a varying mass during the system operation. Therefore, the change of mass changes the value of the moment of inertia of the system. The moment of inertia impacts the system operation, particularly the transient performance. Therefore, the variation of moment of inertia on the motor shaft during its operation creates additional challenges to accomplish a high-quality speed control. The main purpose of the current work is to study the impact of the variation of moment of inertia on the performance of both AC and DC electric drive control systems and to make a comparison between them. A mathematical analysis and simulations of the control system models had been presented; one time with three-phase induction motor and another time with DC motor, both with variable moment of inertia. A simulation of both systems had been accomplished using the Simulink software in MATLAB. The simulation results of operation of these systems have been analysed in order to get useful conclusions and recommendations for the electric drive control system designer.

The paper demonstrates improving the reliability of power supply and operating safety of power receivers in electric networks of 6-10 kV, by controlling the neutral mode in extended electric networks of 6-10 kV with capacitive earth fault currents above 15 A. The purpose of the study is to increase the reliability of power supply and the safety of operation of power receivers in such electric networks, the establishment of patterns in controlling the neutral mode in extended 6-10 kV electric networks with capacitive earth fault currents above 15 A, as well as the development of a method and device automatic detection of single-phase earth fault current. Grounding methods and neutral modes in electric networks with a voltage of 6-10 kV are considered. The method and device for automatically determining the current of a single-phase earth fault were developed. In the result, the relationship between the active and inductive components of the neutral current during series RL grounding of the network Ia/IL=(0.5÷0.3) was established, which ensures reliable operation of the SPEF protection of both current and directional principles including the changes of capacity abruptly networks caused by switching outgoing lines.
