Securing Reliable Wireless Networks for a Sustainable Future: Insights from the COST 2100 Channel Model

2024 IEEE 16th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management (HNICEM), (2025), pp. 1-5

The development of reliable wireless networks is crucial for advancing sustainability. Not only does it facilitate remote work and telecommunication which are critical remote services such as telemedicine and distance education, they are also essential in supporting sustainable practices like the application of IoT in monitoring environmental conditions and energy usage. To ensure that these networks work optimally, it is essential that the datasets used in their development are not only accurate but are also distinct. This study contributes to this end by analyzing the datasets generated by the COST 2100, a model that is used extensively in wireless communications. Using ANOVA, the researchers determined if the dataset are indeed distinct as signals bounce about multiple clustering which use Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) Technology similar to modern wireless systems like 5G. Results show that the different variables or dimensions are distinct from each other. Thus, the datasets generated by COST2100 are suitable to be utilized in further preprocessing methods of wireless multipath clustering, ultimately contributing to building a more sustainable wireless communication system.

A sustainable electronics engineering program effectively prepares graduates to tackle the changing technological, environmental, and societal challenges. In this context, this study examines the relationship between Outcome-Based Education (OBE), quality assurance mechanisms, and student performance in the Electronics Engineering Licensure Examination with the goal of enhancing the development of the program and making it more sustainable. To do this, the paper analyzed a five-year dataset to examine key factors such as accreditation by the Philippine Technological Council (PTC), international rankings (QS and THE), and recognition as Centers of Excellence (COE) or Centers of Development (COD) by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). Regression modeling of the data gathered revealed that the linear interaction model most effectively predicts student performance, with an R-squared value of 0.85, highlighting the emphasis on OBE and quality assurance to improve academic results. The study concluded that emphasizing interactions among program attributes can guide curriculum revisions to enhance student success and ultimately, its sustainability. It suggested that future studies integrate machine learning (ML) techniques to improve the predictive capabilities of model to enhance quality assurance measures. This may be done by utilizing ML methodologies from related fields such as human detection systems and ECG analysis and apply it to educational research. Such an implementation can enhance data-driven decision-making processes, thereby improving the quality of education and student performance in the Electronics Engineering Licensure Examination and ultimately, making the program more sustainable.

The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology in the agricultural sector using advanced sensor systems has garnered significant interest in the recent year, especially in promoting food security. This study shows an application of this to Spondias purpurea (Philippine Pias Prunes), an important fruit in the Philippine Archipelago. The developed system places significant importance on the connection of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and the Google Cloud Platform. This integration enables real-time monitoring, data storage, and analysis, therefore providing valuable insights into enhancing the drying process and mitigating spoilage by maintaining moisture levels within the recommended range of 12-14%. The technology provides farmers with the opportunity to extend the shelf life of the prunes, reduce food wastage and increased profitability. While the system focused on Spondias purpurea, the system is highly adaptable and scalable to other fruits and crops. The research employed a DHT11 sensor that is linked to a Raspberry Pi Microcontroller, together with a Google Cloud-Based Platform for the purpose of data storage and processing. Results of the experiments indicate that the temperature measurements remain consistent at varying conditions. Moreover, the humidity levels remain to be high while the prune’s moisture content continue to be steady. To enhance the system's functionality, future endeavours should focus on integrating the system with other agricultural processes. Additionally, it is recommended to broaden the scope of the cost-benefit analysis by considering aspects such as the initial investment, maintenance costs, energy consumption, and potential rewards in terms of product quality, loss reduction, and increased output.

Genetic Neural Network for Diabetes Likelihood Prediction Using Risk Factors

2023 IEEE 15th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management (HNICEM), (2023), pp. 1-5

View Paper

Diabetes mellitus is a disease incorporated with carbohydrate metabolism whereas the body becomes unable to generate or react with insulin which leads to abnormal levels of blood sugar (glucose). In a worldwide perspective, Diabetes mellitus is ranked as the 9th leading cause of death based on the records of the World Health Organization and according to the International Diabetes Federation, there are about 463 million diabetic people worldwide in 2019 which is projected to increase to 700 million diabetic people by year 2045. In a regional perspective, about 251 million (45%) diabetic people resides on the Western Pacific and Southeast Asian region, whereas about 140 million people are undiagnosed of the disease. In this study, a genetic algorithm-optimized neural network using MATLAB was developed based on the risk factors. The experimental results show that the best validation performance has a value of 0.014129 and with a regression model coefficient R2 value of 0.95864.

This study aims to build upon the authors’ previous work investigating the complex connection relating energy consumption, emission reduction, and economic development. Specifically, it focuses on the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) within the context of post-pandemic economic recovery. The methodology includes implementation of regression modelling using the MATLAB Regression Learner program that utilizes World Energy Council (WEC) Trilemma ratings as input predictors. A range of regression models are utilized and undergo thorough assessment using established metrics, such as Mean Absolute Error (MAE), R-squared Coefficient of Determination, Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), and Mean Squared Error (MSE). Additionally, practical metrics such as prediction time and training time are considered. Through a comparative analysis of the results achieved by the 2023 model in relation to its predecessor, an evaluation is conducted to determine the suitability of previous model. This assessment leads to the identification of relevant policy implications that may contribute to sustainable energy trajectory of the region. This academic pursuit hopes to enhance the scientific dialogue by integrating empirical research results with policy imperatives, in order to promote the development of ecologically sustainable and economically resilient energy frameworks in the ASEAN region. Based on the results, the key discovery of this study pertains to the ever-changing nature of energy dynamics and the significance of flexible modelling in influencing regional energy strategies. Hence, it is essential for policymakers to remain agile to the ever-changing factors that impact environmental sustainability, energy security and energy equity.
