Abstract:

Cloud computing has expanded very rapidly in commercial as well as research fields. Cloud computing has emerged as a widely adopted paradigm, enabling users to store vast amounts of data on remote cloud servers for extended access and utilization. Nevertheless, it introduces a range of significant security challenges, such as ensuring data protection, maintaining privacy, safeguarding confidentiality, preserving data integrity, and verifying authentication. Since data is stored and processed at off-site locations by both users and cloud service providers, maintaining its integrity and confidentiality becomes a fundamental challenge. Typically, cloud service providers store data in plaintext, requiring users to implement their own encryption mechanisms if enhanced security is desired. Moreover, such encrypted data must be decrypted each time it undergoes processing. This study explores the application of homomorphic encryption, specifically leveraging the Hill cipher algorithm, to enhance data security within cloud environments. The scheme combines classical Hill Cipher with additive Homomorphic Encryption in order to enable secure computation over encrypted data. Cloud is where data gets stored in encrypted form. The cipher key used for encrypting data is important. It focuses on the storage of data in encrypted form on the cloud using additive homomorphic encryption, which particularly fits small-to-medium-sized data where the efficiency in encryption matters the most.

Quantum Zero-Knowledge Proof and Self-Sovereign Identity in Blockchain-Based Data Access Control Framework for Healthcare in Fog Computing Environment 2 (2) 20-34

Author Name: Samadhan Palkar, Prof. (Dr.) Udai Shankar and Prof. (Dr.) Lingaraj Hadimani

Paper id: 25303

Abstract:

Data access control in healthcare systems has been completely transformed by the combination of blockchain technology and fog computing, which offers decentralized, safe, and effective solutions. But problems like privacy violations, scalability problems, and the requirement for strong identity management continue to exist. In this paper, a novel paradigm for blockchain-based data access management in fog computing settings is proposed, combining Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) and Quantum Zero-Knowledge Proofs (QZKPs). While SSI gives patients authority over their digital identities, QZKPs improve privacy by facilitating verifiable but private proofs. Secure data exchange, emergency access, and regulatory compliance are some of the major issues in healthcare that are addressed by the suggested approach. Results from experiments show how effective the framework is in terms of latency, scalability, and privacy. Future developments in quantum-enhanced blockchain systems for healthcare are made possible by this research.

AI for Heritage Preservation: Multi-Class Image Classification of Indian Temple Iconography 2 (2) 35-46

Author Name: Vanishree Kavi Mahesh, Udai Shankar, Aprna Tripathi, Abhilash C B

Paper id: 25304

Abstract:

This study proposes classifying Hindu deities based on their distinct iconography with a multi-class recognition. A curated dataset of 500 high-resolution images from Ajanta, Ellora, and Hoysala temples was organized into three iconographic categories: Meditating Buddha, Dancing Shiva (Nataraja), and Other Sculptures. ResNet50 and EfficientNet architectures were used to train the models to distinguish the visual features including hand gestures (mudras), postures, and deity-specific artefacts. The best-performing model achieved 92% overall accuracy and was strong in identifying Meditating Buddha and Dancing Shiva, and errors occurred when distinguishing Standing Buddha and Other Sculptures. This approach demonstrates how large-scale digital archives can be developed with the aid of machine learning. With majority of the images classified by the machine in the archive, scholars can utilise their time to understand minute nuances and draw cultural and theological conclusions which is a valuable step in heritage preservation.

An Efficient Hybrid Machine Learning Approach for Phishing Detection using Semantic and Feature-based Optimization 2 (2) 47-54

Author Name: Suyog Vilas Patil, Dr. Vijay Pal Singh

Paper id: 25305

Abstract:

Phishing continues to be a major cyber threat targeting individuals and organisations by stealing sensi tive information such as passwords and financial details. Traditional signature-based approaches fail to detect new and obfuscated phishing techniques. This paper presents a lightweight hybrid machine learn ing model that combines supervised and heuristic components enhanced with semantic analysis. The system integrates lexical, content-based, and technical attributes to identify phishing websites and emails effectively. Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, including transformer-based em beddings, are used for extracting textual semantics, while feature optimisation is achieved using a sim plified clustering-based selection method. Experimental results on benchmark phishing datasets demon strate an overall accuracy of 97.1%, precision of 96.8%, recall of 97.3%, and a False Positive Rate (FPR) of only 2.0%. The proposed framework offers improved adaptability, low computation time, and potential for real-time deployment in institutional and enterprise-level environments.

Abstract:

Background: Fatigue and poor quality of life (QoL) are important burdens of hemodialysis (HD) patients, but definitive data on these issues in developing countries is scarce Aim: Identify the prevalence of fatigue and its association with QoL in patients with HD in North Bengal. Methods: Cross-sectional study carried out in Dr. Chhang’s Super-specialty Hospital, Siliguri with 165 HD patients and convenience sampling technique was used. Tool used for data collection were Standardized: Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) to assess the level of fatigue and SF-36 questionnaire for (QoL). Statistical analysis involved frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation, chi-square and Pearson correlation Findings: The results showed that there is a high prevalence of fatigue among patients (79.39% of patients were reported as having severe fatigue (Mean=5.84±0.25) and 9.70% of the patients reported clinically significant fatigue). Energy/fatigue domains were most affected by QoL (Mean=38.39±7.16). There was a significant negative relationship between fatigue and overall QoL (r = -0.47, p=0.001). The severity of fatigue was significantly correlated with marital status (χ²=97.13, p=0.00001), dialysis duration (χ²=26.18, p=0.0002), and intradialytic physical complaints (χ²=52.68, p=0.00001). Conclusion: fatigue is prevalent and negatively correlated with QoL in this population. Factors that relate to treatment and psychosocial factors also play a central role in determining the level of fatigue. These findings demonstrate the necessity of the incorporation of systematic fatigue evaluation and management guidelines into the routine HD care to enhance patient outcomes and overall well - being.

Paper id: 25308

Abstract:

The objective of the present study was to develop and evaluate sublingual multiparticulate granules of rizatriptan benzoate with the aim of achieving rapid onset of action, improved patient compliance, and enhanced therapeutic effectiveness in the acute treatment of migraine. Sublingual multiparticulate granules containing rizatriptan benzoate at a therapeutic dose of 10 mg were formulated using mannitol, starch powder, and starch paste. Mannitol was selected as the primary diluent to improve palatability and mask the bitter taste of the drug. The granules were prepared and optimized by varying formulation and process parameters such as mixing time, drying conditions, and concentrations of binder and disintegrant. The prepared formulations were evaluated for physical characteristics, disintegration behavior, drug content, content uniformity, mouthfeel, and solubility in simulated saliva. A stability-indicating HPLC method was developed and validated in accordance with ICH guidelines, and forced degradation studies were conducted to assess method specificity. The optimized multiparticulate granules exhibited rapid disintegration, acceptable mouthfeel, uniform drug distribution, and drug content within pharmacopeial limits. Solubility studies in simulated saliva supported rapid drug availability, and stability studies demonstrated predictable degradation behavior with effective protection provided by aluminium sachets.The study concludes that sublingual multiparticulate granules of rizatriptan benzoate offer a scientifically sound and patient-friendly formulation approach, providing rapid drug release, consistent dosing, and suitability for fast-acting migraine therapy.

Paper id: 25309

Abstract:

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age, characterized by hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, and polycystic ovaries. Letrozole, an aromatase inhibitor, has been extensively utilized to induce PCOS in female rats, providing a valuable model for investigating the pathophysiology of PCOS and evaluating potential therapeutic interventions. This review aims to comprehensively summarize the existing literature on the phytotherapeutic approaches to letrozole-induced PCOS in female rats, with a focus on the efficacy of various medicinal plants and their bioactive compounds in alleviating PCOS-associated complications. A thorough analysis of the current evidence reveals that medicinal plants such as Aloe vera, Cinnamomum verum, Trigonella foenum-graecum, and Nigella sativa exhibit promising therapeutic potential in improving hormonal balance, reducing ovarian cysts, and alleviating metabolic disorders in letrozole-induced PCOS rats. The bioactive compounds present in these plants, including flavonoids, alkaloids, and glycosides, have been found to exert various mechanisms, including hormonal regulation, antioxidant activity, and insulin sensitization. This review highlights the potential of phytotherapeutic approaches as adjunctive treatments for PCOS, emphasizing the need for further research to confirm the efficacy and safety of these plants in human clinical trials.
