The state of election in Nigeria is worrisome. Electoral malpractices have been a major challenge to the Nigerian government in recent times. Government has made frantic efforts to tackle these electoral challenges but the recent event in year 2023 presidential election is worrisome suggests that the solution is not near. Recently, the percentage of eligible voters who vote on election days is declining. Voters turnout went up from 52.3% in 1999 - the first general election since 1993 - to 69% in 2003. But, it has been on the decline nearly ever since − 57.5% in 2007, 53.7% in 2011, 43.7% in 2015 and 34.8% in 2019. In 2023, it is 28.63%. With the way things are going, if urgent action is not taken, this could signal the end of democracy in Nigeria. This research presents the design and implementation of a trusted and secured e-voting based on blockchain technology that will increase voters confidence and trust. The system utilizes *** for the frontend and Solidity on the Polygon blockchain for the backend, ensuring transparency, tamper-resistance, and heightened security. This innovative approach addresses trust and reliability concerns in traditional voting systems, offering a modernized and trustworthy electoral process.

Malaria is one of the most serious and threatening diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa. Its cases increase drastically during the rainy season. It can spread throughout an infected person's entire body in less than an hour. The diagnosis process is time-consuming, and its accuracy is negatively affected due to the lack of technical tools and infrastructure in many laboratories in malaria-prone countries. Hospitals, however, keep patient data during the diagnosis period. Due to the vast amount of diagnostic data gathered and stored on a daily basis in various mediums such as files, it has become increasingly crucial to develop powerful techniques for analysing and interpreting the data. This analysis aims to extract meaningful knowledge and insights that can significantly contribute to malaria diagnosis and decision-making processes. This paper selected four frequency-based algorithms, namely Naïve Bayes, (J48) Decision Tree, ZeroR, and the OneR algorithm, to develop a hybrid model for frequency-based classification algorithms using the available dataset of malaria diagnoses collected from the Federal Medical Centre in Yola, Adamawa state. The research results indicate that the highest accuracy, 88.4%, was achieved by the (J48) Decision Tree model. Additionally, this research employed ensemble methods to enhance the performance of each classification model. The results demonstrated that the accuracy of the Decision Tree and ZeroR models remained the same at 88.4% and 60.9% before and after boosting, respectively. In contrast, the accuracy of the Naïve Bayes and OneR models increased from 79.9% to 87.0% and from 79.8% to 87.6% before and after boosting, respectively. In conclusion, among the frequency-based classification models, the Decision Tree model consistently exhibited the highest accuracy both before and after boosting.

This paper explores the design of Deep Learning (DL) models for Automatic Modulation Recognition (AMR) in wireless communications. The primary goal is to enhance the efficiency and hardware compatibility of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for AMR through hyperparameter tuning and model compression. The paper first examines the effectiveness of applying quantization and pruning on the accuracy and compu-tational cost of two prominent CNN models from the literature. It then introduces a new CNN model that achieves superior accu-racy with lower computational complexity compared to previous work. The design flow integrates TensorFlow Lite for pruning and quantization, and NVIDIA TensorRT for benchmarking on GPUs specialized for machine learning computing. Experimental results show significant reductions in model size and computational complexity while maintaining accuracy, rendering the proposed DL models suitable for real-time applications on edge devices.

Early detection of colorectal polyps is crucial for preventing colorectal cancer. Although endoscopy is the current standard diagnostic method, it still faces challenges in terms of accuracy, efficiency, and patient comfort. To address these issues, this paper proposes a colorectal polyp detection model named DM-Net. This model utilizes the Dual Feature Integration Block (DFIB) to integrate channel and spatial features, enhancing feature extraction efficiency. Additionally, the model incorporates the Multi-Layer Path Aggregation Network (MLPAN) to handle the multi-scale variations of polyps. Experimental results demon-strate that DM-Net significantly outperforms existing methods in terms of accuracy and efficiency, offering high clinical applica-bility.

The experimental studies presented in this paper reveal that existing thermal management systems (TMS) and temperature-informed charging algorithms exhibit a response time lag of at least 5.3 minutes due to their reliance on surface temperature measurements. The results indicate that changes in the internal thermal state of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), induced by variations in charging currents, take an average of 2 minutes to manifest on the battery surface, particularly evident in cylindrical cells. Current thermal management systems for automotive battery packs solely rely on surface temperature measurements, neglecting the approximately 5.8°C temperature difference between the core and surface in TMS control. Consequently, changes in the battery's thermal state due to internal heat losses are not promptly detected by surface-mounted temperature sensors. This delayed response time accelerates battery degradation and increases the risk of thermal runaway events. In this study, temperature-informed fast charging algorithms, tested under various ambient conditions for LIBs, along with a comparative analysis, demonstrate that response time can be reduced by at least 2 minutes by considering internal temperature rather than relying solely on surface temperature measurements. Moreover, accounting for the temperature difference between the core and surface facilitates rapid TMS control and health-conscious fast charging, thereby mitigating the risk of thermal runaway events.

The field of computational bioinformatics and systems biology analysis is rapidly expanding due to advancements in bioinformatics tools. Bipolar disorder (BD) is a severe psychiatric condition affecting both adults and adolescents. In recent years, the risk of stroke has increased among individuals with BD. Background studies indicate that BD and stroke share numerous biochemical and genetic characteristics. Due to traditional endocrinological approaches, no collaborative research exists, and no treatment options have been established for BD and stroke patients. The aim of this study is to identify common molecular pathways and potential therapeutic targets in BD and stroke that could be utilized to predict disease progression. To achieve this, shared genes were identified to determine common pathways. Based on the biochemical, molecular, and genetic interactions among these shared genes, this study identifies the most significant hub genes. To further explore these interactions, analysis such as the protein–protein interaction (PPI) network, topological properties, enrichment analysis, co-expression network, gene regulatory network (GRN), and physical interaction network are conducted. The GO annotation indicates that most of the genes are linked to MAP kinase activity and tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily binding. The KEGG pathway analysis revealed that the predominant genes are associated with apoptosis and the IL-18 signaling pathway. This comparison helps understand the biochemical and genetic characteristics shared between BD and stroke. Predictive drug analysis has identified consistent potential biomarkers associated with both conditions, providing a scientific foundation for investigating their diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. Finally, chemical experiments could be conducted to further validate the efficacy of these drugs.
