Advancing cybersecurity and privacy with artificial intelligence: current trends and future research directions.

Introduction: The rapid escalation of cyber threats necessitates innovative strategies to enhance cybersecurity and privacy measures. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising tool poised to enhance the effectiveness of cybersecurity strategies by offering advanced capabilities for intrusion detection, malware classification, and privacy preservation. However, this work addresses the significant lack of a comprehensive synthesis of AI's use in cybersecurity and privacy across the vast literature, aiming to identify existing gaps and guide further progress.

Beyond Access to Sanitary Pads: A Comprehensive Analysis of Menstrual Health Scheme Impact Among Rural Girls in Northeast India.

Menstrual hygiene management among girls in rural India poses a substantial challenge for public health, education, and quality of life, exacerbated by limited access and affordability of menstrual products. In response to these issues, the Government of India initiated the Menstrual Hygiene Scheme (MHS) to enhance access and awareness. This study evaluates the impact of the MHS in Assam and Tripura designated" treatment states" with consistent pad supply from 2017 to 2021 compared to neighboring" control states" with negligible pad distribution.

Development and validation of a survey instrument for reusable sanitary products toward sustainable menstrual hygiene.

The predominant use of disposable, non-organic menstrual products has significant environmental impacts due to waste and resource depletion. Concerns over the environmental, economic, and health implications of menstrual hygiene management (MHM) have highlighted the need to explore sustainable options like reusable sanitary pads (RSPs). Despite their benefits, the adoption of RSPs is limited by a lack of awareness, availability, cost, and research.

Fake news research trends, linkages to generative artificial intelligence and sustainable development goals.

In the digital age, where information is a cornerstone for decision-making, social media's not-so-regulated environment has intensified the prevalence of fake news, with significant implications for both individuals and societies. This study employs a bibliometric analysis of a large corpus of 9678 publications spanning 2013-2022 to scrutinize the evolution of fake news research, identifying leading authors, institutions, and nations. Three thematic clusters emerge: Disinformation in social media, COVID-19-induced infodemics, and techno-scientific advancements in auto-detection.

Darkweb research: Past, present, and future trends and mapping to sustainable development goals.

The Darkweb, part of the deep web, can be accessed only through specialized computer software and used for illegal activities such as cybercrime, drug trafficking, and exploitation. Technological advancements like Tor, bitcoin, and cryptocurrencies allow criminals to carry out these activities anonymously, leading to increased use of the Darkweb. At the same time, computers have become an integral part of our daily lives, shaping our behavior, and influencing how we interact with each other and the world.
