Machine Learning-Driven Optimization of Transport Layer Parameters in CsSn 0.5 Ge 0.5 I 3 Perovskite Solar Cells
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) offer high efficiency and low cost compared to conventional photovoltaics, but their lead content raises significant environmental and health concerns, limiting commercial potential. This work explores optimising the performance of lead-free CsSn₀.₅Ge₀.₅I₃-based PSCs by adjusting the hole transport layer (HTL) and electron transport layer (ETL) properties. To this end, machine learning models, i.e., RF, ANN, CatBoost, and XGBoost, were trained to estimate the photovoltaic performance of the solar cells. This concept potentially minimizes the time and resources required during the experiment compared to traditional methods. We used the SCAPS-1D simulation software to simulate the PV performance of the perovskite configuration, PCBM/CsSn₀.₅Ge₀.₅I₃/Spiro-MeOTAD, across different ETL and HTL mobilities, ranging from 0.001 cm²/Vs to 0.2 cm²/Vs and 0.0001 cm²/Vs to 0.0021 cm²/Vs, respectively, and carrier concentrations ranging from 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ to 10¹⁹ cm⁻³ to generate a dataset. Based on these variations, a dataset of 3025 performance points, including JSC, FF, VOC, and PCE, was generated and subsequently used to train and validate the ML models. The models' predictions were compared with the SCAPS-1D results, and both Catboost and XGboost better represent the simulated data, as reflected by lower RMSE values of 0.01 and 0.02 and higher R² values of 0.9999. Sensitivity analysis using SHAP plots indicated that ETL and HTL mobility, along with carrier concentrations, significantly influenced PCE, FF, JSC, and VOC, with mobility showing a consistent and dominant effect across all parameters. Machine learning accelerates Cs-based PSC optimization, providing a faster alternative to time-consuming device simulations.

Cutting-Edge Intrusion Detection in IoT Networks: A Focus on Ensemble Models
As the Internet of Things (IoT) landscape rapidly evolves, robust network security measures are imperative. In particular, Intrusion Detection Systems play a very important role in the preservation of an IoT environment from malicious activities. This paper provides a comprehensive performance comparison of various machine learning classifiers, including K-Nearest Neighbors, Gradient Boosting, XGBoost, Support Vector Machines, Random Forests, Decision Trees, and Extremely Randomized Trees, for intrusion detection in IoT networks. Comparative analysis shows that although all models did very well, the ensemble methods—GB, XGBoost, RF, and ERT—constantly performed better than others in F1-Score, recall, accuracy, and precision. Among them, ERT is turned out to be the most effective model for real-time attack detection on IoT devices, with an accuracy of 99.7% besides excellent precision and recall. XGBoost and RF also turn out to have high reliability and accuracy with F1-Scores of 0.95. These findings further underscore that ensemble methods outperform in intrusion detection for IoT networks and, thus, offer important insights to improve security within networks and protect critical IoT-based infrastructures from a variety of threats.

Melanoma Detection Using Deep Learning-Based Classifications
One of the most prevalent cancers worldwide is skin cancer, and it is becoming more common as the population ages. As a general rule, the earlier skin cancer can be diagnosed, the better. As a result of the success of deep learning (DL) algorithms in other industries, there has been a substantial increase in automated diagnosis systems in healthcare. This work proposes DL as a method for extracting a lesion zone with precision. First, the image is enhanced using Enhanced Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Networks (ESRGAN) to improve the image’s quality. Then, segmentation is used to segment Regions of Interest (ROI) from the full image. We employed data augmentation to rectify the data disparity. The image is then analyzed with a convolutional neural network (CNN) and a modified version of Resnet-50 to classify skin lesions. This analysis utilized an unequal sample of seven kinds of skin cancer from the HAM10000 dataset. With an accuracy of 0.86, a precision of 0.84, a recall of 0.86, and an F-score of 0.86, the proposed CNN-based Model outperformed the earlier study’s results by a significant margin. The study culminates with an improved automated method for diagnosing skin cancer that benefits medical professionals and patients.

Security in Wireless Body Sensor Network: A Multivocal Literature Study
The wireless body sensor network (WBSN) is a wireless communication that might enable 24/7 patient monitoring and health findings through the online platform. Although BSN design is becoming simpler, building a secure BSN seems to be more challenging than designing conventional solutions, and the recent study provides little guidance to designers and developers. The proposed study summarizes the multivocal literature study of security mechanisms for BSN. The investigation found 10,871 academic publications and 697 grey content; duplicates were removed, and selection criteria were employed, resulting in 73 academic papers and 30 grey publications. Various conventional security techniques, scope, and security contexts were used to classify the stated security solutions within each publication. It was crucial to inquire about the frequency of publications, research methods, security mechanisms, and contexts to answer the proposed questions. Our survey concludes that security methods and assessments are categorized into 15 categories, with the most frequently referenced being authentication and authorization; the majority of strategies concentrate on preventing and mitigating security breaches, with a limited number of works focusing on detection and recovery; and the techniques used to conduct the survey vary between the two types of publications. This evaluation might be the first step toward making the BSN platform more consistent by giving professionals and researchers a complete set of security strategies and methods. Experts will apply these solutions to fix security issues while establishing a trustworthy BSN after they have been identified through the process of discovering the most commonly utilized security solutions.

Detection of Skin Cancer Based on Skin Lesion Images Using Deep Learning
An increasing number of genetic and metabolic anomalies have been determined to lead to cancer, generally fatal. Cancerous cells may spread to any body part, where they can be life-threatening. Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer, and its frequency is increasing worldwide. The main subtypes of skin cancer are squamous and basal cell carcinomas, and melanoma, which is clinically aggressive and responsible for most deaths. Therefore, skin cancer screening is necessary. One of the best methods to accurately and swiftly identify skin cancer is using deep learning (DL). In this research, the deep learning method convolution neural network (CNN) was used to detect the two primary types of tumors, malignant and benign, using the ISIC2018 dataset. This dataset comprises 3533 skin lesions, including benign, malignant, nonmelanocytic, and melanocytic tumors. Using ESRGAN, the photos were first retouched and improved. The photos were augmented, normalized, and resized during the preprocessing step. Skin lesion photos could be classified using a CNN method based on an aggregate of results obtained after many repetitions. Then, multiple transfer learning models, such as Resnet50, InceptionV3, and Inception Resnet, were used for fine-tuning. In addition to experimenting with several models (the designed CNN, Resnet50, InceptionV3, and Inception Resnet), this study’s innovation and contribution are the use of ESRGAN as a preprocessing step. Our designed model showed results comparable to the pretrained model. Simulations using the ISIC 2018 skin lesion dataset showed that the suggested strategy was successful. An 83.2% accuracy rate was achieved by the CNN, in comparison to the Resnet50 (83.7%), InceptionV3 (85.8%), and Inception Resnet (84%) models.

MULDASA: Multifactor Lexical Sentiment Analysis of Social-Media Content in Nonstandard Arabic Social Media
The semantically complicated Arabic natural vocabulary, and the shortage of available techniques and skills to capture Arabic emotions from text hinder Arabic sentiment analysis (ASA). Evaluating Arabic idioms that do not follow a conventional linguistic framework, such as contemporary standard Arabic (MSA), complicates an incredibly difficult procedure. Here, we define a novel lexical sentiment analysis approach for studying Arabic language tweets (TTs) from specialized digital media platforms. Many elements comprising emoji, intensifiers, negations, and other nonstandard expressions such as supplications, proverbs, and interjections are incorporated into the MULDASA algorithm to enhance the precision of opinion classifications. Root words in multidialectal sentiment LX are associated with emotions found in the content under study via a simple stemming procedure. Furthermore, a feature–sentiment correlation procedure is incorporated into the proposed technique to exclude viewpoints expressed that seem to be irrelevant to the area of concern. As part of our research into Saudi Arabian employability, we compiled a large sample of TTs in 6 different Arabic dialects. This research shows that this sentiment categorization method is useful, and that using all of the characteristics listed earlier improves the ability to accurately classify people’s feelings. The classification accuracy of the proposed algorithm improved from 83.84% to 89.80%. Our approach also outperformed two existing research projects that employed a lexical approach for the sentiment analysis of Saudi dialects.
