This paper forecasts the microeconomic level household expenditures using a novel hybrid deep learning approach. In terms of research significance, household finance control has a major influence on the finance system within the economy. Accurate forecasting of household finances assists in maintaining positive financial behavior among individuals and the economy. The DeepBoost multi-output regressor proposed in this paper is based on the 1D CNN-ANN and the XGBoost. The proposed model in this paper is compared with the R 2 , MSE, and MAE since it’s a regression problem. The experimental results reveal that the proposed DeepBoost multi-output regressor has the best application in forecasting the multiple expenditures of households by outperforming the ANN, 1D CNN-ANN, and Random Forest Regressor models. The proposed DeepBoost multi-output regressor evaluated the housing, food, transportation, healthcare, other necessities, childcare, and tax expenditures that had 0.94, 0.98, 0.83, 0.94, 0.97, 0.97, and 0.99 values for the R 2 , 9037.71, 2692.12, 9788, 15077.33, 1373.93, 13629.36, and 1904.52 values for the MSE, and 66.07, 34.05, 73.17, 87.05, 26.25, 78.74, and 29.47 MAE values than the ANN, RFR, and 1D CNN-ANN models.

Marine debris remains a persistent and crucial issue that demands attention, as the substances present in the waste pose significant harm to marine life. Ingredients such as microplastics, polychlorinated biphenyls, and pesticides can poison and damage the habitats of organisms living in proximity. However, solutions involving human labor, such as diving, are becoming increasingly ineffective due to the limitations of humans in underwater environments. To address this challenge, technology involving autonomous underwater vehicles continues to be developed for effective sea garbage collection. In this development process, the selection of object detection architecture in autonomous underwater vehicles plays a critical role. For the creation of robots capable of handling marine debris, a one-stage detector type architecture is highly recommended due to its necessity for real-time detection. This research focuses on utilizing the You Only Look Once model version 4 (YOLOv4) architecture for the object detection of marine debris. The dataset utilized in this research comprises 7683 images of marine debris collected in Trash-ICRA 19 dataset with 480x320 pixels. Furthermore, various modifications, such as using pretrained model, training from scratch, disable mosaic augmentation, enable mosaic augmentation, freezing the backbone only layer, freezing the backbone and neck layer, YOLOv4-tiny, and adding channel pruning of YOLOv4, are implemented each other and compared to find the most impactful for enhance the efficiency of the architecture. Numerous studies have demonstrated that the application of channel pruning can improve detection speed without significantly sacrificing accuracy. The dataset employed in this research is the trash-ICRA 19 dataset, featuring images of objects in seawater. This dataset emphasizes images of plastic waste objects in water, incorporating several other classes. Through the application of channel pruning to YOLOv4 trained on the underwater ob

As robots are increasingly becoming part of daily life worldwide, it is important to ensure that they are inclusive and culturally sensitive to accommodate users from different backgrounds. In particular, many countries in the Global South (GS) have yet to explore the integration and benefits of robots, especially for underrepresented language groups such as Urdu. We present an exploratory mixed-methods study that investigates how robots' language affects the social interaction, acceptability and overall perception of robots within Pakistani Urdu-speaking individuals. The findings highlight the importance of language and cultural adaptation, and how these factors influence the acceptance of robots, emphasising the need for more inclusive and religion sensitive technologies designed for the GS users.
Prior disaster management studies in the Indus flood plain of Pakistan have overlooked the potential of remote sensing for monitoring flood inundation zones over time. Still, there is a significant gap in understandin...

This review examines human vulnerabilities in cybersecurity within Microfinance Institutions, analyzing their impact on organizational resilience. Focusing on social engineering, inadequate security training, and weak internal protocols, the study identifies key vulnerabilities exacerbating cyber threats to MFIs. A literature review using databases like IEEE Xplore and Google Scholar focused on studies from 2019 to 2023 addressing human factors in cybersecurity specific to MFIs. Analysis of 57 studies reveals that phishing and insider threats are predominant, with a 20% annual increase in phishing attempts. Employee susceptibility to these attacks is heightened by insufficient training, with entry-level employees showing the highest vulnerability rates. Further, only 35% of MFIs offer regular cybersecurity training, significantly impacting incident reduction. This paper recommends enhanced training frequency, robust internal controls, and a cybersecurity-aware culture to mitigate human-induced cyber risks in MFIs.
