    Abstract In the age of sophisticated cyber threats, botnet detection remains a crucial yet complex security challenge. Existing detection systems are continually outmaneuvered by the relentless advancement of botnet strategies, necessitating a more dynamic and proactive approach. Our research introduces a ground-breaking solution to the persistent botnet problem through a strategic amalgamation of Hybrid Feature Selection methods-Categorical Analysis, Mutual Information, and Principal Component Analysis-and a robust ensemble of machine learning techniques. We uniquely combine these feature selection tools to refine the input space, enhancing the detection capabilities of the ensemble learners. Extra Trees, as the ensemble technique of choice, exhibits exemplary performance, culminating in a near-perfect 99.99% accuracy rate in botnet classification across varied datasets. Our model not only surpasses previous benchmarks but also demonstrates exceptional adaptability to new botnet phenomena, ensuring persistent accuracy in a landscape of evolving threats. Detailed comparative analyses manifest our model's superiority, consistently achieving over 99% True Positive Rates and an unprecedented False Positive Rate close to 0.00%, thereby setting a new precedent for reliability in botnet detection. This research signifies a transformative step in cybersecurity, offering unprecedented precision and resilience against botnet infiltrations, and providing an indispensable blueprint for the development of next-generation security frameworks.

    Abstract The stage of pregnancy is crucial for women of reproductive age and their families. However, in low- and middle-income countries like Bangladesh, antenatal and postnatal care are not widely practiced due to various socio-economic factors, such as low education levels, income, age, pregnancy knowledge, and limited healthcare facilities. The objective of this study was to examine the factors associated with antenatal care in two locations in Bangladesh based on the data collected from the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS) 2017-2018. We explored different variables as explanatory variables related to ANC service. The results showed that most of the respondents were from rural areas, with 77.02% receiving antenatal care at home. Women with secondary education were more likely to receive care at home than those without education. The Chi-square test indicated a positive correlation between antenatal care at home with several variables, whereas, in the case of Upazila health complexes, only three variables showed a positive association. Logistic regression analysis further showed some specific variables such as geographical division, religion, iron intake during pregnancy, and reporting pregnancy complications had a significant impact on ANC at home. In contrast, covariates such as residence, division, and wealth index were significant for antenatal care at Upazila health complexes. The division was a significant covariate in both cases. Interestingly, we observed that mothers who had been informed about the signs of pregnancy complications were 92% more likely to receive antenatal care at home than those who had not experienced pregnancy complications. Conversely, the results revealed that mothers who were unaware of pregnancy complications were 32% more likely to receive antenatal care at home than those who had been informed about complications. This suggests that when women are educated about pregnancy complications, they are more likely to receive more antenatal care. However, Bangladesh's situation is quite different due to a lack of proper education and knowledge of antenatal care services.

    Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate how uses and gratifications motivations increase social media stickiness, with a special focus on media engagement as a key mediator. Data were gathered via a survey questionnaire from Bangladeshi Z Generation social media users, which was quantitative in nature. For the analysis of 258 survey samples, structural equation modeling methodology was used. The results show that social media engagement and social media stickiness are positively impacted by uses and gratifications motivations such as social interaction, information, convenience, and entertainment. The study also found evidence of a relationship between uses and gratification motivations and social media stickiness, which is also mediated by emotional attachment. Understanding the motivations and gratifications sought by Z Generation users on social media platforms can help design strategies to enhance engagement and loyalty, ultimately leading to improved user retention and platform success. By identifying and addressing the specific needs and desires of the Z Generation, social media platforms can tailor their features, content, and user experiences to foster a stronger sense of connection and satisfaction, resulting in increased user engagement and prolonged usage.

    Abstract Aim and objective: A recent study has revealed that non-structural protein 1 (Nsp1) of the SARS-CoV-2 is one of the novel targets for developing new antiviral drugs. To date, there is no significant exact medication available to treat Covid-19. As a result, both the death toll and the number of people affecting by this disease are increasing with each passing day. 35 phytochemicals having antiviral properties were taken to get the best compounds against Nsp1 Materials and Methods: As no PDB structure of this protein is available, homology modeling was done to predict the probable structure. After homology modeling, the best model was taken according to C-score and TM- score and then validated using different web servers. After validation, docking of these compounds was done using AutoDock vina, vega zz, and PyRx, and consensus docking score was considered to select molecules after docking. Finally, the orbitals energy calculation of these compounds was done to check their activity and the binding interactions of these molecules also analyzed.
    Results: Molecules having a consensus score of -8kcal/mol or more negative were kept for further study and it was seen that 16 molecules had the given criteria. Then, drug-likeness filtration was done according to Lipinski's rule of five and 11 molecules remained. Out of these 11 molecules, 5 molecules had satisfactory ADMET properties. Calculation of orbital energy revealed their activity.
    Conclusion: It is expected that this research might be helpful for the development of new antiviral drugs active against SARS-CoV-2 targeting Nsp1.

    Abstract Intrusion detection is a critical aspect of network security to protect computer systems from unauthorized access and attacks. The capacity of traditional intrusion detection systems (IDS) to identify unknown sophisticated threats is constrained by their reliance on signature-based detection. Approaches based on machine learning have shown promising results in identifying unknown malicious attacks. No learning algorithm-based model, however, is able to accurately and consistently detect all different kinds of attacks. Besides that, the existing models are tested for a specific dataset. In this research, a novel ensemble-based machine-learning technique for intrusion detection is presented. Numerous public datasets and multiple ensemble strategies, including Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, Adaboost, Gradient XGBoost, Bagging, and Simple Stacking, will be employed to evaluate the performance of the proposed approach. The most relevant features for the detection of intrusion are selected using correlation analysis, mutual information, and principal component analysis. Our research using different ensemble methods demonstrates that the proposed approach using the Random Forest technique outperforms existing approaches in terms of accuracy and FPR, typically exceeding 99% with better evaluation metrics like Precision, Recall, F1-score, Balanced Accuracy, Cohen's Kappa, etc. This strategy may be a useful tool for strengthening the safety of computer systems and networks against emerging cyber threats.

    Abstract ConspectusOver the past five decades, significant progress has been made in the field of anion recognition with a diverse variety of synthetic receptors because of the fundamental importance of anions in chemical, environmental, and biological processes. In particular, urea- and thiourea-based molecules offering directional binding sites are attractive receptors for anions due to their ability to bind anions employing primarily hydrogen-bonding interactions under neutral conditions and have gained a recent paramount attention in the area of supramolecular chemistry. The presence of two imine (-NH) groups on each urea/thiourea functionality in these receptors gives them potential for excellent binding of an anion, mimicking the natural binding process in living cells. The increased acidity offered by thiocarbonyl groups (C═S) in a thiourea-functionalized receptor could enhance its anion binding ability as compared to its analogous urea-based receptor containing a carbonyl (C═O) group. During the last several years, our group has been involved in exploring a wide variety of synthetic receptors, and we have studied them with anions experimentally and computationally. In this Account, we will highlight the overall summary of our group's efforts focusing on anion coordination chemistry of urea- and thiourea-based receptors with varying linkers (rigid and flexible), dimensions (dipodal and tripodal), and functionalities (bifunctional, trifunctional, and hexafunctional). Depending on the linkers and attached groups, bifunctional-based dipodal receptors can bind anions forming 1:1 or 1:2 complexes. A dipodal receptor with flexible aliphatic or rigid

    Abstract Livestreaming has gained popularity as a new e-commerce platform, communication tool, social network, and source of entertainment for millions of users. It is important to examine the nature and history of this developing area of e-commerce since it has the potential to be exploited to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic’s challenges. Therefore, this study critically explores the consumer livestreaming purchasing behavior and proposes a model, which composed of stimulus, organism, and response as the extension of stimuli-organism-organism model. The structural equation modeling approach applies for analyzing 434 survey responses from a convenience sample. The results suggest that the stimulus variable (source credibility, response capability, platform interactivity) significantly affects the organism variables (customer engagement, swift guanxi), which in turn significantly contribute to creating responses (purchase intentions, actual purchase behavior). Customer engagement and swift guanxi also have potent mediating effects in the model. We offer novel insights into new consumer behaviors in livestream commerce that can underpin future research to promote businesses and services even under challenging conditions.
