Blockchain is transforming the banking sector and offering opportunities for significant cost reduction and efficient banking services. However, implementing blockchain is a challenge due to lack of adequate knowledge and skills on how to implement the technology. As a result, there are very few market-ready blockchain banking products and organisations are unable to realise the promised value. This paper presents an overview of the banking sector’s blockchain use cases, design and implementation considerations and techniques. The aim is to offer an evidence-based primer to guide researchers and practitioners. The study relies on the systematic literature review method and reviews a total of 45 papers comprising 26 peer-reviewed scholarly articles and 19 technical reports from the banking industry. Leximancer software is used to support the thematic data analysis. The results show for the banking sector an increase in experimentation efforts geared towards the development of payment systems. The results also indicate key considerations from a technological, organisational and environmental perspective. The study highlights that platform selection, scalability and resilience are some of the critical technical considerations for implementing blockchain banking systems. Organisational considerations include collaboration and governance-related challenges. From an environmental perspective, the study notes several legal and regulatory considerations. This study contributes to the existing literature on blockchain adoption in banking, which is still in the nascent stage. The study also offers a research agenda for further understanding of blockchain implementation in the banking sector. Opportunities for further research are noted in the areas of interoperability, governance, security and privacy .

Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks are one of the most common global challenges faced by service providers on the web. It leads to network disturbances, interruption of communication and significant damage to services. Researchers seek to develop intelligent algorithms to detect and prevent DDoS attacks. The present study proposes an efficient DDoS attack detection model. This model relies mainly on dimensionality reduction and machine learning algorithms. The principal component analysis (PCA) and the linear discriminant analysis (LDA) techniques perform the dimensionality reduction in individual and hybrid modes to process and improve the data. Subsequently, DDoS attack detection is performed based on random forest (RF) and decision tree (DT) algorithms. The model is implemented and tested on the CICDDoS2019 dataset using different data dimensionality reduction test scenarios. The results show that using dimensionality reduction techniques along with the ML algorithms with a dataset containing high-dimensional data significantly improves the classification results. The best accuracy result of 99.97% is obtained when the model operates in a hybrid mode based on a combination of PCA, LDA and RF algorithms, and the data reduction parameter equals 40

Alzheimer's disease is a brain memory loss disease. Usually, it will affect persons over 60 years of age. The literature has revealed that it is quite difficult to diagnose the disease, so researchers are trying to predict the disease in the early stage. This paper proposes a framework to classify Alzheimer's patients and to predict the best classification algorithm. The Bestfirst and CfssubsetEval methods are used for feature selection. A multi-class classification is done using machine learning algorithms, namely the naïve Bayes algorithm, the logistic algorithm, the SMO/SMV algorithm and the random forest algorithm. The classification accuracy of the algorithms is 67.68%, 84.58%, 87.42%, and 88.90% respectively. The validation applied is 10-fold cross-validation. Then, a confusion matrix is generated and class-wise performance is analysed to find the best algorithm. The ADNI database is used for the implementation process. To compare the performance of the proposed model, the OASIS dataset is applied to the model with the same algorithms and the accuracy of the algorithms is 98%, 99%, 99% and 100% respectively. Also, the time for the model construction is compared for both datasets. The proposed work is compared with existing studies to check the efficiency of the proposed model.

The writing process, in which feelings and thoughts are expressed in writing, differs from person to person. Handwriting samples, which are very easy to obtain, are frequently used to identify individuals because they are biometric data. Today, with human-machine interaction increasing by the day, machine learning algorithms are frequently used in offline handwriting identification. Within the scope of this study, a dataset was created from 3250 handwritten images of 65 people. We tried to classify collected handwriting samples according to person and gender. In the classification made for person and gender recognition, feature extraction was done using 32 different transfer learning algorithms in the Python program. For person and gender estimation, the classification process was carried out using the random forest algorithm. 28 different classification algorithms were used, with DenseNet169 yielding the most successful results, and the data were classified in terms of person and gender. As a result, the highest success rates obtained in person and gender classification were 92.46% and 92.77%, respectively.

E-commerce has become very important in our daily lives. Many business transactions are made easier on this platform. Sellers and consumers are the two main parties that gain a lot of benefits from it. Although many sellers are attracted to set up their businesses on this online platform, it also causes challenges such as a highly competitive business environment and unpredictable sales. Thus, we propose a data analytics approach for short-term sales forecasts using limited information in the e-commerce marketplace. Product details are scraped from the e-commerce marketplace using a content scraping tool. Since the information in the e-commerce marketplace is limited and essential, scraped product details are pre-processed and constructed into meaningful data. These data are used in the computation of the forecasting methods. Three types of quantitative forecasting methods are computed and compared. These are simple moving average, dynamic linear regression and exponential smoothing. Three different evaluation metrics, namely mean absolute deviation, mean absolute percentage error and mean squared error, are used for the performance evaluation in order to determine the most suitable forecasting method. In our experiment, we found that the simple moving average has the best forecasting accuracy among other forecasting methods. Therefore, the application of the simple moving average forecasting method is suitable and can be used in the e-commerce marketplace for sales forecasting.

The article briefly presents the main results of an applied research project to the professional public. The project output is a solution that enables the recognition of selected types of traffic signs using artificial intelligence for image recognition. This computationally intensive process is implemented in mobile phones. In order to achieve the involvement of the general public in the collection of data on transport infrastructure, the entire solution is part of navigation for mobile phones and supported by two functions that motivate users to collect data, i.e., scan the area in front of the vehicle with the phone's camera. The first function is the projection of the route into the real environment (the so-called augmented reality mode), and the second function is the possibility of video recording the drive. The video recording is cryptographically signed to ensure authenticity in administrative or judicial proceedings, e.g., when proving the course and circumstances of a traffic accident. The collection of data on transport infrastructure is completely anonymous in compliance with applicable laws. The data about recognized traffic signs will not only serve the navigation provider to improve the user experience but the processed data will also be exported to community-created world maps (project OpenStreetMap).
