Cyberbullying has become a global issue across social media platforms, where individuals switch platforms to perform such activity to evade detection. This study introduced a Cross-Platform Cyberbullying Detection Algorithm (CPCD-Alg), a state-of-the-art algorithm that combines user behaviour, network analysis, linguistic patterns, and textual data analysis to identify cyberbullying within and across different social networks. Using two synthetic datasets denoting Platform A and Platform B, the proposed algorithm CPCD-Alg finds cyberbullying on a single platform by utilising machine learning and deep learning models, integrating BERT for textual analysis and graph-based methods for network analysis. After detecting cyberbullying on a single platform, the approach is then extended to cross-platform detection by matching features like behavioural analysis, linguistic patterns and network analysis. The approach does not consider username matching because users often use different names on different platforms to evade detection. The results show that adding multidimensional features enhances accuracy, with LSTM achieving 98
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) has laid down several ethical and legal obligations on healthcare providers to preserve the privacy and confidentiality of patient information. Digitization in healthcare has been of great help to the medical fraternity and the patients, however, digital-based services in healthcare have also widened the spectrum of vulnerabilities. In this paper, we propose a blockchain-based system to trace the data collection, storing, and sharing process for medical records. We present an Architecture of Medical Records Data Accountability and Compliance (MRDACE) which is a decentralized permissioned data-sharing platform. The Medical Images and Information of a patient will be under the sole ownership of the patient. Logs of any access made to the Medical Images and Information of a patient will be maintained and cannot be modified, leading to a transparent traceability mechanism. This architecture utilizes the Proof-of-Authority consensus algorithm and further introduces a new automated incentive function to decide upon the access rights of the Data requestors. In comparison to the existing state-of-art solutions, it performs with 56.71% less gas since the automated function introduced removes the need for the patient consent to share the health records with the Data requestors.

With the rise of healthcare digitization, it has become a critical priority to safeguard patient privacy and ensure data security. Conventional methods of data access control mechanisms have proven to be insufficient in the dynamic management of patient data access with a fine-grained access control mechanism. This research paper investigates the potential of Hashgraph as a possible solution to strengthen patient privacy within healthcare environments. This paper reviews existing literature on the access control mechanism adopted for maintaining patient privacy, thereby emphasizing the potential benefits of deploying Hashgraph into healthcare systems and proposes to term it as MedHash. By exploiting the distinctive features of Hashgraph in MedHash, such as gossip protocol and virtual voting, every node will autonomously engage in the consensus mechanism thereby solving the risk of power concentration within a few nodes of the network. Since the mining is absent in MedHash, hence the energy consumption in comparison to the proof-of-work blockchains has been greatly reduced. Furthermore, MedHash is resilient against the Sybil and double-spending attacks. MedHash, when implemented in the healthcare scenario, leads to reinforced privacy measures and thereby fortifies data security by empowering patients with greater control over sensitive information.

In the study, we describe a complete system for butterfly image classifier with the ResNet 18 architecture as the backbone structure. The very colourful wings of the butterflies, as well as their patterned structures, are faculties that make the image classification of butterflies not an easy task for image classification algorithms. Our approach, entitled “two-step methodology to deal with the challenge” is as follows: We first make the ResNet18 architecture faster to suit more contributing the specific characteristics of butterflies by the addition of techniques like attention and spatial transformer networks. The goal of this change is for the network to get more sensitive to the features at varying levels which is key for the correct classification of the image. Firstly, our parrot model undergoes fine-tuning, which works to adjust the already trained ResNet 18 model for the butterfly classification task. By taking advantage of pre-trained networks on the big dataset of butterfly pictures, we plan to make use of the extracted features to reach an optimal performance level for the specific task. Our findings prove that our model is more accurate than any currently existing approach, achieving state-of-the-art results on the butterfly image databases for global benchmarking. Besides that, we have the network of such representations and feature activations reconstructed which gives us a glimpse into the important butterfly classification features. In conclusion, our study is a starting point for a deep learning approach to butterfly image classification; it will enable keeping tabs on the biodiversity of a particular location, contribute to the conservation efforts of endangered species, and promote ecological research.
