Recent developments in a variety of sectors, including health care, research and the direct-to-consumer industry, have led to a dramatic increase in the amount of genomic data that are collected, used and shared. This state of affairs raises new and challenging concerns for personal privacy, both legally and technically. This Review appraises existing and emerging threats to genomic data privacy and discusses how well current legal frameworks and technical safeguards mitigate these concerns. It concludes with a discussion of remaining and emerging challenges and illustrates possible solutions that can balance protecting privacy and realizing the benefits that result from the sharing of genetic information.

The constant rise of e-commerce coupled with extremely fast deliveries is a significant contributor to saturate city centers' mobility. To address this issue, the development of a convenient Automated Parcel Lockers (APLs) network improves last-mile distribution by reducing the number of transportation vehicles, the distances driven, and the delivery stops. This article aims to define and compare APL networks in the cities of Pamplona (Spain), Zakopane and Krakow (Poland). Thereby, a bi-criteria weighted-sum simulation optimization model is developed for a representative year for the aforementioned cities. The simulation forecasts the e-commerce demands whereas the optimal APL network is obtained with a bi-criteria maximum APL revenues and minimum network costs. Meaningful results are obtained from the multi-criteria hybrid model outcomes as well as from the cities comparison. These outcomes suggest efficient APLs networks considering cultural and demographic factors for a massive use of APLs in high-demand periods.

Shortest Path Algorithms are an important set of algorithms in today’s world. It has many applications like Traffic Consultation, Route Finding, and Network Design. It is essential for these applications to be fast and efficient as they mostly require real-time execution. Sequential execution of shortest path algorithms for large graphs with many nodes is time-consuming. On the other hand, parallel execution can make these applications faster. In this paper, three popular shortest path algorithms - Dijkstra, Bellman-Ford, and Floyd Warshall - are both implemented as serial and parallel programs and tested on various problem sizes. The performance of these algorithms is evaluated by comparing their execution times. To achieve parallelization, the OpenMP (Open multiprocessing) framework is employed.

This research aims to transcribe audio into text using the pre-trained Whisper model, focusing on Bugis, a low-resource language. A key challenge in transcribing local languages like Bugis is the limited availability of language model. To address this, we implemented an algorithmic correction approach that does not require extensive datasets or computationally demanding customizations. The Whisper model provides an initial transcription, serving as a foundation; however, the output often lacks accuracy due to the absence of specific adjustments for Bugis. To enhance accuracy, we applied the Levenshtein distance algorithm to correct word errors by comparing transcription results with entries in a Bugis language dataset based on similarity. Although this method is not fully precise and depends on the completeness of the reference dataset, evaluation results indicate that it effectively lowers the word error rate (WER) and improves transcription accuracy. This research produces SRT files containing transcripts that have been corrected using the Levenhstein distance algorithm, which not only improves accessibility but also contributes to the preservation of Bugis language through digital media. This approach is expected to provide a practical solution to improve transcription accuracy and support more accurate documentation in Bugis language preservation efforts.

This paper examines the applications of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) in the field of finance, particularly in stock price forecasting. Artificial neural networks are mathematical models that mimic biological nervous systems and are used to solve complex problems such as financial data analysis. Stock price forecasting is an important topic for investors and finance professionals. Artificial neural networks have been widely used in this field due to their ability to process large amounts of financial data, learn complex relationships and predict future price movements. This study deals with stock price forecasting with artificial neural networks using historical stock prices, economic indicators and other financial data. Neural networks attempt to predict future price movements by learning the complex relationships between these data. Stock price forecasting with artificial neural networks can offer a more flexible and adaptive approach than traditional statistical methods. However, the success of the model depends on factors such as the quality of the data set used, network architecture and training parameters. This study was conducted to understand the potential of artificial neural networks in finance and to evaluate their effectiveness in stock price forecasting. The purpose of this study is to explore how artificial neural networks can be used in financial data analysis, and in particular their potential in stock price forecasting. The study is designed to understand the advantages of applying ANN in finance, to evaluate the stock price forecasting performance of this technology and to provide a new perspective that can influence future investment strategies.

In the realm of robot action recognition, identifying distinct but spatially proximate arm movements using vision systems in noisy environments poses a significant challenge. This paper studies robot arm action recognition in noisy environments using machine learning techniques. Specifically, a vision system is used to track the robot's movements followed by a deep learning model to extract the arm's key points. Through a comparative analysis of machine learning methods, the effectiveness and robustness of this model are assessed in noisy environments. A case study was conducted using the Tic-Tac-Toe game in a 3-by-3 grid environment, where the focus is to accurately identify the actions of the arms in selecting specific locations within this constrained environment. Experimental results show that our approach can achieve precise key point detection and action classification despite the addition of noise and uncertainties to the dataset.

Heart disease problems are growing day by day in the world. Many factors are responsible for increasing the chance of heart attack and any other disease. Many countries have a low level of cardiovascular competence in predicting heart disease-related issues. Finding the best accurate machine learning classifiers for various diagnostic uses by data mining and machine learning techniques aids in predicting whether or not the heart disease-related issue will occur. To predict heart disease, a number of supervised machine-learning algorithms are used and their effectiveness are evaluated. With the exceptionof MLP and KNN, all applied algorithms had their estimated feature significance scores for each feature. This helps to find the main factors affecting heart disease and the accuracy of the model, which helps to get the best prediction. At the end of the research the support vector machine gives us 87.91 % highest testing accuracy compare with all applied machine learning algorithm.

This article presents a simulation study on the use of LoRaWAN technology in autonomous vehicles. The research focuses on developing an Auto-Handover Gateway for Autonomous Vehicles, utilizing LoRaWAN parameters such as bit rates, spreading factor (SF), packet loss, and received signal strength. These parameters are tested in simulations of autonomous vehicle movements, which include both regular and random motion patterns. The aim is to assess the performance of LoRaWAN in different scenarios and its impact on communication in autonomous vehicle systems. The simulation results show several key trends. As the vehicle moves further, the spreading factor (SF) increases, and bit rates tend to decrease, indicating a drop in communication performance over longer distances. The research also identifies that the gateway with the closest proximity to the vehicle is selected, both in random and non-random movement scenarios. Additionally, packet loss increases as the distance between the vehicle and the gateway grows, highlighting the challenges of maintaining reliable communication over long distances. These findings provide insights into optimizing LoRaWAN parameters for real-time communication in autonomous vehicles, contributing to the development of intelligent vehicle networks.
