The advancement of innovative technology in education has continuously evolved. The focus of the emerging education field is identifying ways for sustainability and enhancing quality education using smarttechnology. This study aims to investigate teachers' efficacy in using smarttechnology for teaching, their perception of the impact of smarttechnology implementation in the classroom, and the significance of both factors in predicting teachers' use of smarttechnology. The variables under study viz., smart Teaching (ST) Perceived Impact of smarttechnology in the Classroom (PI-STech) and Use of smarttechnology for Teaching (U-STech) are measured using instruments devised by the researcher with the help of earlier literature. The data from 120 instructors were analyzed using multiple linear regression. All the instructors work as professors in the B School and have used smarttechnology in their classrooms for at least a year. The study documents that smart teaching and the perceived impact of smarttechnology in the classroom are both predictors of using smarttechnology. These research findings are critical in developing a program for technology uptake in B-schools.

In the recent years, drones have been extensively used in variety of fields and given the essential nature of drone swarm services, such as network traffic monitoring and search and rescue operations, it is imperative to mitigate security vulnerabilities in the drone swarm network. Computational Intelligence in edge analytics has the ability to enhance predictive capabilities by expediting the conversion of high-level features into actionable insights for remote monitoring and triggering alarms during emergency incidents without depending on backend servers. This study represents a significant advancement in the development of intrusion detection techniques in drone swarm edge computing by proposing a distributed intrusion detection model in drone networks based on real-time data analytics framework utilizing hybrid deep LSTM-IG-SVM architecture. The architecture is validated on the CIDDS-2017 benchmark network attacks dataset. Initial layers of LSTM are employed to extract high-level features of sequential network packets. Information gain implemented on the top of LSTM is used for feature reduction accounting for the energy constraint and computing complexity of drones. The selected features are further used to train SVM for intrusion detection. It is concluded that the proposed hybrid architecture outperforms baseline LSTM with more than 99% of performance accuracy for intrusion detection. The problem of false alarming has also been resolved using the proposed architecture with false alarm rate observed to be as low as 0.1%.

Urban centers have increasingly been considered a famous hotspot as millions of people worldwide prefer to migrate into cities in search of better prospects. Historic cities face a multitude of challenges as a result of urbanization coupled with limited existing infrastructure in their surroundings. The adoption of smart perspectives and approaches provides solutions that can tackle these challenges at different levels. By incorporating Information and Communication technology (ICT) driven intelligent solutions into the realm of sustainable urban planning for these cities, not only can significant energy and resource savings be achieved, but it can also enhance the overall well-being of residents, entice tourists, and foster economic growth. This study aims to find out the globally accepted approaches for the redevelopment of historic cities and propose a model integrating smarttechnology by keeping in mind the historic character of the city. The information utilized in this study was obtained from online academic databases mainly science direct and google scholar. The study has been strengthened by putting case examples of smart historic cities. The study concluded that historic cities need to adopt the smart perspective and digital transformation during redevelopment to incorporate the needs and demands of the inhabitants in light of urbanization.

smart agriculture adoption is a viable sector for investment and growth in India. However, key implementation issues include constant monitoring, necessitating a dependable and resilient network infrastructure. Furthermore, energy harvesting, automated irrigation, and disease prediction are critical areas that need major investment and research. Another issue is a lack of information among farmers, which prevents them from implementing smart agricultural practices. Further key issues include a shortage of funding. Despite these limitations, smart farming has the potential to lower overall costs, improve product quality and quantity, and increase sustainability, making it an attractive area for investment and growth. The objective of this paper is to understand the scope of smart Agri Tech by procuring inferences from first-hand users about the adoption and the key issues faced by them while switching to this unconventional technique of agriculture and the subjective issues that result in the failure of implementation of IoT based. The authors have incorporated in-depth research on the subject and have performed a quantitative analysis to fill this empirical gap in the adoption and implementation of the technology in the Indian context, which can give inferences on the successful execution of the technology.

Analytics on the edge of an IoT device is utilized in a variety of settings when immediate decisions are required to be made. In order to carry out cloud-based analytics on data collected from the Internet of Things (IoT), the information must first be transmitted from IoT devices and stored in a centralized location for further processing which leads to high turnaround time in order to make necessary decision making. However, in applications that deal with matters of life and death, such as healthcare, this huge turnaround time will not be acceptable. As a result, it is absolutely necessary for analytics to be carried out at the edge in these MIoT applications in order to avoid hazards to human lives. As the resources of IoT devices are very limited, it is impossible to store the actual Machine Learning algorithms to do the processing. Hence, TinyML based applications are becoming increasingly popular in the edge analytics field as a way to alleviate power and resource restrictions. The purpose of this research paper is to shed light on the use of TinyML in MIoT applications for the purpose of conducting effective analyses of patient data in order to deliver personalized healthcare solutions.
