Intelligent Botnet Detection Approach in Modern Applications
Innovative applications are employed to enhance human-style life. The Internet of Things (IoT) is recently utilized in designing these environments. Therefore, security and privacy are considered essential parts to deploy and successful intelligent environments. In addition, most of the protection systems of IoT are vulnerable to various types of attacks. Hence, intrusion detection systems (IDS) have become crucial requirements for any modern design. In this paper, a new detection system is proposed to secure sensitive information of IoT devices. However, it is heavily based on deep learning networks. The protection system can provide a secure environment for IoT. To prove the efficiency of the proposed approach, the system was tested by using two datasets; normal and fuzzification datasets. The accuracy rate in the case of the normal testing dataset was 99.30%, while was 99.42% for the fuzzification testing dataset. The experimental results of the proposed system reflect its robustness, reliability, and efficiency.

Developing an Interactive University Orientation App: Potential Users’ Feedback
Abstract— The use of apps has become increasingly common in higher institutions and often linked with the needs of the current generation. This qualitative study investigates the perception of undergraduate students at a university in Malaysia as part of a need analysis to develop a university orientation app. Fifteen participants were interviewed and the findings suggest that the participants have a positive perception of having the app. The positive perception is mainly based on the needs to navigate around the campus where the apps will help to make the navigation easier and effective by serving as ‘one-stop information center’. In addition to the navigation purpose, the potential users request gamification elements to keep them interested in using the app. This paper concludes that an appealing orientation app for the students should expose them to the university surrounding and at the same time contain gamification elements.

Immersive Experience during Covid-19: The Mediator Role of Alternative Assessment in Online Learning Environment
Covid-19 pandemic has changed the education landscape hence students’ learning experience. The conventional face-to-face classroom has transformed into a synchronous online mode with minimal digital readiness. In the immense situations during the acquisition of knowledge, their learning absorptive capacity may be disrupted. To unpick their learning proficiency and design complex interactivity, this paper considers a digital platform for structured learning activities. The study particularly examines how various factors are associated with students’ online learning experience, particularly during the pandemic. An online survey of 312 respondents who used the Blackboard online learning platform was conducted, and a PLS-SEM analysis indicated that an alternative assessment mediated the relationship of learning readiness, student engagement, and student motivation toward student learning experience simultaneously. Overall, our study reiterates the need to address the mediator role of alternative assessment to succeed in online courses.

Malaysian Undergraduates’ Perceptions of Online Approach via Skype in Developing Speaking Skills
Speaking skill pedagogy has always remained a huge enigma for English as a Second Language (ESL) educators. Despite the challenges, the need to master the skills prevail in academia. The undergraduates especially those from the technical division seem to grapple with the ability to perform well in their studies and market their products upon employment due to the inability to communicate well in English. Nowadays, there are numerous platforms available for ESL learners to improve their speaking proficiency. Thus, this paper intended to study the effectiveness of using Skype as an online platform to help students enhance their confidence in speaking in English. 100 reflective journals of first year undergraduates who enrolled in an English course were collected. Meanwhile, 10 undergraduates were randomly selected to participate in the semi-structured interview. All the participants’ reflections and views were analyzed and thematized using Transana software. Four main themes emerged: account possession; familiarity; challenges; and features. It was found that many participants were aware of Skype but did not have the account prior to the study. Majority of the participants admitted that Skype activities helped them to converse better which enhanced their motivation to speak in English more confidently and fluently.

Weight Influence of Logarithmic and Exponential Functions on the Selection of Wireless Networks Using Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Methods
This research aims to study the influence of logarithmic and exponential functions on the multi-criteria decision-making algorithm that changes the linear to the nonlinear method. It is carried out to better understand the multi-criteria decision-making (TOPSIS) algorithm whereby these functions may influence the criteria weights during the selection of the best network. The experiment is applied under different network types to evaluate the most optimum network that leads to better throughput, low latency, minimum BER, and low price per MB. The algorithms are assessed in MATLAB simulation environments. In addition, the adoption of the Wi-Fi networks standard is determined by factors such as bandwidth, signal to noise ratio and the channel modulation technique during the decision-making process. The simulation results showed that the exponential function had produced approximately similar results to that of linear TOPSIS algorithm because both keep the weights to demonstrate positive values. However, logarithmic TOPSIS produced different results and a worst-case scenario, as the weights have negative values which lead to a phase shift of 180⁰ during the decision process. Thus, linear TOPSIS was found to have the best results while logarithmic TOPSIS had the worst outcome.
