Cloud computing offers benefits in the digital world, such as scalability and agility, but securing these environments requires a high level of knowledge and have the potential for misconfiguration. While cloud platforms offer user-friendly interfaces, ensuring robust cloud security requires a balance between user experience and technical expertise to avoid security vulnerabilities that arise from misconfiguration. This paper proposes a fundamental framework for improving the security posture while using the cloud. The framework uses a configurable building block approach to simplify migration and development efforts for cloud-based solutions. The framework focuses on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and automates deployment with infrastructure-as-code (IaC) principles, minimizing the need for deep infrastructure knowledge. This allows users to develop and deploy secure cloud solutions with built-in security tools and monitoring, minimizing the need for extensive infrastructure knowledge on the user's part. This framework aims to provide a hardened environment suited for cloud appropriation. The framework is leveraging security best practices and monitoring tools, harnessing a more secure approach to the use of public cloud environments.

This paper presents a study which examines the pedagogical-interactional dimensions in computerscience education at universities of applied sciences, focusing on the expectations and perceptions of students and professors. Data were collected using a modified version of the Learning Culture Inventory (LCI) questionnaire and analyzed both descriptively and *** descriptive statistics reveal differences in the mean values between the ideal and real states of educational conditions as perceived by students and professors. Inferential statistical analyses using t-tests identified significant differences between the perceptions of the two groups. The effect size Cohen’s d was also calculated to determine the strength of the existing difference. The analyses show that there are significant differences in many dimensions of the LCI between the perspectives of students and professors. These differences are often associated with high effect sizes. The results therefore indicate that the students' expectations and perceptions deviate (considerably) from the professors’ perspectives.

The efforts for data transparency and open government initiatives have resulted in a large amount of data being published on open data portals. These portals are organized to enhance published data accessibility by providing search mechanisms that utilize metadata such as category, tags, format, and publisher. However, due to the metadata incompleteness, such as missing category information, datasets are harder to find. Therefore, within this paper, we address the issue of missing category information by proposing an approach for categorizing datasets using keywords and their usage within categories. The presented approach is based on the Formal Concept Analysis method, which is used to create a hierarchical order of keywords grounded on their usage within categories on one open data portal. Further, we present the evaluation of the presented method using data from the Canadian open data portal.
Using dataset analysis as a research method is becoming more popular among many researchers with diverse data collection and analysis backgrounds. This paper provides the first publicly available dataset consisting of...

Facial palsy is a condition characterized by facial paralysis, affecting the patient's motor function. Detection is typically done through a clinical expert's direct observation of facial muscles. However, manual examinations are less effective as patients tend to go for health checks when symptoms indicate severe dysfunction. Due to these challenges, a classification system is built as early screening for facial palsy. This research aims to propose the detection of facial palsy using Extreme Learning Machine algorithm. In this research, we use three datasets: CK+, JAFFE, and Youtube Facial Palsy (YFP). The dataset is divided into training and testing data in an 80:20 ratio. Applied preprocessing techniques of landmark facial feature extraction, selection, and Euclidean distance calculation at specific face points. We employ k-fold cross-validation to find the optimal parameter during the training process. We also implemented oversampling and undersampling techniques to handle imbalanced data. The system classifies facial palsy into normal, mild, moderate, and severe dysfunction. The ELM model achieved Accuracy values of 0.9949, Precision of 0.9888, Recall of 0.9887, and F1-score of 0.9888 on balanced data using an oversampling technique. The current research indicates that the implemented techniques can handle imbalanced data, and contribute to better model performance.

This tertiary systematic literature review examines 29 systematic literature reviews and surveys in Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) to uncover trends, limitations, and future directions. The study explores current explanation techniques, providing insights for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers interested in enhancing AI transparency. Notably, the increasing number of systematic literature reviews (SLRs) in XAI publications indicates a growing interest in the field. The review offers an annotated catalogue for human-computer interaction-focused XAI stakeholders, emphasising practitioner guidelines. Automated searches across ACM, IEEE, and science Direct databases identified SLRs published between 2019 and May 2023, covering diverse application domains and topics. While adhering to methodological guidelines, the SLRs often lack primary study quality assessments. The review highlights ongoing challenges and future opportunities related to XAI evaluation standardisation, its impact on users, and interdisciplinary research on ethics and GDPR aspects. The 29 SLRs, analysing over two thousand papers, include five directly relevant to practitioners. Additionally, references from the SLRs were analysed to compile a list of frequently cited papers, serving as recommended foundational readings for newcomers to the field.

This study examined the role of Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) in addressing contemporary facade design challenges, including the erosion of architectural identity caused by modern materials and high skilled labor costs. It explored how GFRC could revive classical heritage elements while balancing aesthetic innovation, economic efficiency, and environmental sustainability. Using a mixed methodology of comparative quantitative analysis and qualitative case studies, the research found that GFRC not only enabled cost-effective revival of classical styles but also facilitated innovative facade designs unachievable through traditional methods. Examples included (Palazzo Italia (complex modern facades and (Jabal Omar Towers (integration of heritage and modernity. The study recommended standardizing digital manufacturing criteria and analyzing architectural trends. It proposed future research directions, such as integrating 3D printing into GFRC production and developing sustainable glass fibers for harsh climates, positioning GFRC as a bridge between heritage preservation and contemporary innovation.
