Anomaly Detection in SDN-enabled Cloud-Fog Collaborative Networks

Software-defined networking (SDN) has brought about a paradigm shift in network management and control, offering increased flexibility and automation capabilities. This transformation is particularly relevant in the context of smart cities, where integrating IoT devices and smartphones is essential for delivering efficient and responsive city services. As SDN gains prominence, the security of these devices in fog computing environments becomes a critical concern for maintaining the integrity and reliability of smart city infrastructures. Effective access control mechanisms are needed to safeguard the network, tailored to the unique requirements of SDN networks. These mechanisms are crucial for smart cities, where many devices and systems need to interact seamlessly while maintaining high-security standards. Additionally, KPI anomaly detection in SDN networks poses challenges due to the real-time processing of copious data. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a cloud-fog collaborative architecture with a GAN-GRU model for malicious activity detection. This architecture is designed with smart cities in mind, where fog nodes divide the network into subregions, mirroring the geographical divisions of a city. The cloud is responsible for model training, while fog nodes execute detection tasks, ensuring a responsive and efficient system for anomaly detection. The proposed method outperforms benchmark algorithms in terms of precision, recall, and F1 score, demonstrating its potential for implementation in smart city infrastructures. Furthermore, the impact of time window length on anomaly detection is analyzed, revealing optimal performance with a window length of 70. This paper also introduces a reputation-based access restriction management mechanism, demonstrating its effectiveness in preventing unauthorized access while ensuring secure operations.

Portrayal of Women in News and Photos in Tanzania Print Media. A Case of Uhuru Jumamosi, Daily News and Habari Leo Newspaper

This study investigates the portrayal of women in Tanzanian print media, focusing on Uhuru Jumamosi, Daily News, and Habari Leo newspapers. It is a significant study for diverse groups including women, media owners, policymakers, and academicians. It was limited to only three newspapers such as Uhuru Jumamosi, Habari Leo, and Daily News. The study employed two theories; Stereotype Theory and Media Representation Theory which altogether framed this study. The study reviewed various literature and empirical studies to identify existing gaps. This study used a mixed-method approach as it applied both qualitative and quantitative methods at some point. Content analysis was used both as a data collection method and analysis method to examine how women are represented in news articles and photographs, particularly in economic, social, and political contexts. The study population comprised 279 newspapers for three (3) months whereby each newspaper comprised 93 units hence the sample size for the study was 36 newspapers where each comprised 12 units as a sample. The study found that Tanzanian print media, specifically Uhuru Jumamosi, Habari Leo, and Daily News, actively include women in economic coverage, with women featured in 63% of articles on economic activities. However, representation often remains stereotypical, with women depicted primarily in agricultural, small-scale business, or social service roles, limiting their portrayal to informal and secondary roles. While Daily News provides a more diverse portrayal, including women in leadership within commerce and finance, Uhuru Jumamosi emphasizes women’s achievements through special sections. Social and political portrayals generally depict women in family or support roles rather than leadership, especially in political contexts.

Stress Detection with Wearable Sensors

Stress has a significant impact on both physical and mental health. The creation of systems for ongoing stress monitoring has been made easier by developments in wearable sensors and machine learning models. This study examines several studies on stress detection with wearable sensors and machine learning methods. The integration of these technologies aims to provide real-time stress detection systems for healthcare, workplace wellness, and personal care. This survey compares methodologies, sensor types, machine learning models, and the effectiveness of stress detection systems from multiple studies. Furthermore, we introduce a novel system based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) using physiological data from wearable sensors to detect stress in real-time.

GST System in India – A Look through the Lens of Fiscal Autonomy and Federalism

This paper combines two important and non-separable fields of discourse: political science and taxation. This paper attempts to examine the GST Council and the overall GST system, introduce them, and analyze them from the viewpoint of fiscal autonomy of the states and federalism. There have been allegations that the GST system is against the federal structure and that it largely undermines the fiscal autonomy of the states. This paper will analyze the system keeping in mind the various allegations and discuss the various issues with the system. This paper also attempts to advocate against the current hatred towards the system and suggests some reforms to tackle the current issues and improve the system. The GST system was a much-needed and ambitious reform, which was the need of the hour, and the hostility and discontent of the states due to them losing their uncanny and uncontrolled fiscal power that they had in the erstwhile system, is precisely what this paper advocates against. This paper tries to bring out how instead of hampering the federal structure, the GST system has provided a platform for the center and the states to come together, thereby strengthening cooperative federalism.
