eGovernment application has evolved from simply appearing as a website providing news and information, to the application that provides various services through online transactions. Provision of online transactions require the effectively and safely service, so the users can make sure that the entry data is secure and will not be used by other parties which are not authorized. Security is also necessary for the service provider side of online transactions, it is necessary to keep the system, and the data transactions sent through the communications media and the data stored in the database are secured. If the security guarantee is unavailable, the users will gradually lose their confidence to use the service through online transactions by using eGovernment application, and on the other hand the service provider will face the impact of the lost or corrupt data, and unauthorized access to the data which should be only accessed by involved parties based on the appropriate authority. This paper reveals the proposed strategy of Pretty Good Privacy implementation in protecting the security data messages of the Official Scripts Electronic Applications in a Local Government Regency. The proposed strategy is done by modifying on four process document letters’ management, such as an electronic form of incoming mail, print or hardcopy incoming letters, disposition letter, and outgoing mail.

Статья научная
The proper use of information technology can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of an organization’s performance. The use of information technology in educational institutions also require good governance so as to ensure transparency, efficiency, and effectiveness of any business process that runs on the institutions. Audit is one of the ways that can be done to determine the company’s ability to execute business process in it so that the performance of the process in the company can run better and more effective, and it can also improve the performance of employees. The audit process conducted at Office X aims to evaluate the work program using the COBIT 5 framework as a guide because it already contains four main perspectives, namely the customer perspective, financial perspective, internal business process perspective, and the learning and growth perspective. Results of research conducted at Office X show that the capability level of the four processes in the audit which are APO07 (Manage human resources), BAI02 (Manage requirements definition), BAI04 (Manage availability and capacity), and EDM04 (Ensure resource optimization) achieved by the Office still stop at level 1 and there is still a difference of 4 levels from what is expected by the company so that there needs to be improvements to achieve the specified target level 5.

To establish and implement a workable e-Government, all possible and relevant stakeholders' systems need to be inter-connected in such away that the hardware, software and data are interoperable. Thus, interoperability is the key to information exchange and sharing among the heterogeneous systems. In view of this, the paper introduces the Information Systems Interoperability Maturity Model (ISIMM) that defines the levels and degree of interoperability sophistication that an organisation's Information Systems will progress through. ISIMM focuses more on detailed technical aspects of interoperability that allows data to be exchanged and shared within an information system environment. In this way, it provides the practical means of assessing technical interoperability between information system pairs, groups or clusters and it facilitates a model to measure the maturity and compliancy levels of interoperability information systems.

The impact of technology must be addressed by the educational methods themselves and their perspectives in the new paradigm of citizenship in this intelligent environment. Learning environments have changed dramatically in the last 50 years, in large part due to information and communications technologies. The study uses a qualitative descriptive. Thomas S. Kuhn, fully Thomas Samuel Kuhn, (born 18 July 1922 in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA-17 June 1996 in Cambridge, Massachusetts), best known for The Structure of the Scientific. Kuhn explains that in every scientific discipline, there are some identified and natural phenomena that are then investigated experimentally and explained theoretically. Pre-paradigm as the basis of normal science, the formation of smart learning is started when primitive cave. Normal science for learning is a traditional teaching method, teaching takes place within the four walls of a classroom. Anomalies are surprising discoveries that cannot be defined through a paradigm, together with discoveries of troubles that cannot be solved through a paradigm. The lock down following the COVID-19 pandemic has made us extrude in a single day from mastering withinside the bodily international to mastering withinside the virtual one. Model crises are the third phase of the Kuhn cycle. Triggering the Model Crisis movement Blended learning can be the brand new normal – “Blended learning”. The smart learning cognizance and traits has emerged as a brand-new fashion withinside the international academic field. different smart technologies, consisting of cloud computing, learning analytics, huge information, Internet of things (IoT) and wearable generation.

Keyword extraction approaches based on directed graph representation of text mostly use word positions in the sentences. A preceding word points to a succeeding word or vice versa in a window of N consecutive words in the text. The accuracy of this approach is dependent on the number of active voice and passive voice sentences in the given text. Edge direction can only be applied by considering the entire text as a single unit leaving no importance for the sentences in the document. Otherwise words at the initial or ending positions in each sentence will get less connections/recommendations. In this paper we propose a directed graph representation technique (Thematic text graph) in which weighted edges are drawn between the words based on the theme of the document. Keyword weights are identified from the Thematic text graph using an existing centrality measure and the resulting weights are used for computing the importance of sentences in the document. Experiments conducted on the benchmark data sets SemEval-2010 and DUC 2002 data sets shown that the proposed keyword weighting model is effective and facilitates an improvement in the quality of system generated extractive summaries.

Theory of Fuzzy Sets: An Overview
Статья научная
In this article, we would like to revisit and comment on the definition of complementation of fuzzy sets and also on some of the theories and formulas associated with this. Furthermore, the existing probability-possibility consistency principles are also revisited and related results are viewed from the standpoint of the Randomness-Fuzziness consistency principles. It is found that the existing definition of complementation as well as the probability – possibility consistency principles is not well defined. Consequently the results obtained from these would be inappropriate from our standpoints. Hence we would like to suggest some new definitions for some of the terms often used in the theory of fuzzy sets whenever possible.

Time Series Forecasting Enhanced by Integrating GRU and N-BEATS
Статья научная
Accurate stock price prediction is crucial for financial markets, where investors and analysts forecast future prices to support informed decision-making. In this study, various methods for integrating two advanced time series prediction models, Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) and Neural Basis Expansion Analysis Time Series Forecasting (N-BEATS), are explored to enhance stock price prediction accuracy. GRU is recognized for its ability to capture temporal dependencies in sequential data, while N-BEATS is known for handling complex trends and seasonality components. Several integration techniques, including feature fusion, residual learning, Ensemble learning and hybrid modeling, are proposed to leverage the strengths of both models and improve forecasting performance. These methods are evaluated on datasets of ten stocks from the S&P 500, with some exhibiting strong seasonal or cyclic patterns and others lacking such characteristics. Results demonstrate that the integrated models consistently outperform individual models. Feature selection, including the integration of technical indicators, is employed during data processing to further improve prediction accuracy.

Time-Frequency Wavelet Based Coherence Analysis of EEG in EC and EO during Resting State
Статья научная
The electrophysiological brain activities are nonlinear in nature as measured by Electroencephalography (EEG). There are coherent activities in brain not only seen during explicit tasks but also during rest. This article aims to employ most robust nonlinear dynamics Time - Frequency representation (TFR) techniques such as wavelet phase coherence to investigate brain activity in different frequency bands at temporal and spatial scale dynamics in form of topographic maps in resting state networks. The TFR has the advantages to study the combined effect of time and frequency domains simultaneously. The wavelet coherence computed in this way exhibit high precision to detect the phase coherence in different frequency intervals to analyze highly complex non-autonomous and non-stationary EEG signals. The spatiotemporal dynamics of resting state networks are investigated by computing coherence. We have investigated the Wavelet based Phase coherence of oscillations of eye closed and eye open signals during resting states. The wavelet coherence is computed for selected 19 electrodes according to 10-20 system from 129 channel EEG signals. The significance was obtained using Wilcoxon Signed Rank test and pairwise wavelet coherence was computed for each possible combination. The Wavelet Phase Coherence using Wavelet Transform gives significantly high results (P<0.05) in EC and EO signals during resting states in frequency interval 0.5-50 Hz overall as well as in the band intervals such as delta (05-4 Hz), theta (4-7 Hz), alpha (7-13 Hz), beta (13-22 Hz) and gamma (22-50 Hz). By computing the spatial wavelet phase coherence, we observed significant pathways including sagittal factor (anterior-posterior interhemispheric) and lateral factor (perpendicular to anterior-posterior axis). The lateral factor differences have less affect than the sagittal factor. Each band was involved in different activities in some way, however alpha band showed distinct anterior-posterior activity when the eye-closed coherence was higher than the eye open coherence.

Top-k Closed Sequential Graph Pattern Mining
Статья научная
Graphs have become increasingly important in modeling structures with broad applications like Chemical informatics, Bioinformatics, Web page retrieval and World Wide Web. Frequent graph pattern mining plays an important role in many data mining tasks to find interesting patterns from graph databases. Among different graph patterns, frequent substructures are the very basic patterns that can be discovered in a collection of graphs. We extended the problem of mining frequent subgraph patterns to the problem of mining sequential patterns in a graph database. In this paper, we introduce the concept of Sequential Graph-Pattern Mining and proposed two novel algorithms SFG(Sequential Frequent Graph Pattern Mining) and TCSFG(Top-k Closed Sequential Frequent Graph Pattern Mining). SFG generates all the frequent sequences from the graph database, whereas TCSFG generates top-k frequent closed sequences. We have applied these algorithms on synthetic graph database and generated top-k frequent graph sequences.

With the advent of W3C standards such as DID, VCs, and DPKI beyond 2020, the industry has reached a new level where a technological infrastructure overhaul is possible. By employing blockchain and other Decentralized Ledger Technologies, it is believed that we can eliminate the requirement for paper-based verification. Researchers are aware of the technological components we possess at present and are trying to bring forth their sets of POCs. Additionally, governments ranging from developing to developed countries are taking industrial initiatives that incorporate these technologies. This research also evaluates the latest events and cases to find the need for paperless verification. Previous development conducted in the domains of Information Systems and Public forensics has presented us with various issues at both infrastructural and user levels. It also introduced us to the presence of lots of gaps present that can be improved with a more improvised form of decentralized paperless solution. Researchers have pointed out that the modern day identity check and forensic solutions will face difficulties with blockchain compatibility, since most of those previous components will require built-in integration with a decentralized environment. As the latest researches suggest the key to this integration is now possible with the proper application of the W3C standards. In this paper, we propose an architecture that interlinks the latest decentralized W3C standards with a permissioned blockchain for implementing paperless verification and identity check.

Towards data exchange between health information system and insurance claims management system
Статья научная
The advancement of technology observed today has led to the development of many Health Information Systems (HIS) which are cost-effective, reliable, scalable and flexible. Moreover, integrated Health Information System (iHIS) plays a crucial role in the dissemination of information, which helps in decision-making. The care2x HIS in Tanzania does not have a module for exchanging data between Care2x HIS and the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) claims management system. The absence of this module in Care2x has resulted into long waiting time for a patient, inaccuracy of the data submitted in claim forms, the consumption of time when processing claims, delay in processing payment and the high costs incurred in printing claims forms. In this paper, we used both qualitative and quantitative methods to gather the requirements for the development of the module. Interviews, questionnaire and document review were employed in data collection. The requirements were gathered with the help of 12 practitioners and one Information Technology (IT) specialist from NHIF headquarters. The results showed that the integration of the data exchange module is very potential in solving the present challenges. The data exchange module between Care2x HIS and NHIF Claims management System will increase the accuracy of claims submitted and reduce the cost for printing claims forms and time spent in filling and processing claims.

Two Level Hybrid SECO Environment for Secure Cloud Environment
Статья научная
As cloud computing becomes prevalent, sensitive information are being increasingly centralized into the cloud. Number of users used cloud to store their data. In general terms means encrypted form hackers can easily hack or modify the data because there is no security while uploading the data to cloud server. Due to this problem cloud server can easily deployed. As security is one of the major concerns in cloud environment for preventing data deployment during upload. The best solution for the protection of data privacy is done by encryption the sensitive data before being outsourced to cloud server, which makes effective data utilization a very challenging task. There are a number of security and privacy concerns associated with cloud computing but these issues fall into two broad categories: security and privacy concerns faced by cloud providers and security and privacy concerns faced by their customers. Different set of algorithms have been implemented on cloud environment for enhancing the security but still there are some major concerns like malicious attacks. In previous work on AES based encryption and a SECO based environment were introduced.. In SECO based environment root package generated key by using diffie-hellman algorithm and domain package generated key by using private key of root package. In AES algorithm and SECO based environment individually provided some sort of level encryption. In this both algorithms work on single level encryption approach which may be easily broken by malicious users. So, in proposed work both techniques that is AES and SECO based environment will be combined to provide two level security and also will double the encrypted environment which may not be easily broken by malicious users. Result will be more efficient and secure than the previous work.
