The Internet of Vehicles (IoV), a key component of smart transportation systems, leverages 5G communication for low-latency data transmission, facilitating real-time interactions between vehicles, roadside units (RSUs), and sensor networks. However, the open nature of 5G communication channels exposes IoV systems to significant security threats, such as eavesdropping, replay attacks, and message tampering. To address these challenges, this paper proposes the Efficient Cluster-based Mutual Authentication and Key Update Protocol (ECAUP) designed to secure IoV systems within 5G-enabled sensor networks.

This research presents an intelligent beam-hopping-based grant-free random access (GFRA) architecture designed for secure Internet of Things (IoT) communications in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks. In light of the difficulties associated with facilitating extensive device connectivity while ensuring low latency and high reliability, we present a beam-hopping GFRA (BH-GFRA) scheme that enhances access efficiency and reduces resource collisions. Three distinct resource-hopping schemes, random hopping, group hopping, and orthogonal group hopping, are examined and utilized within the framework.

Electrically rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs) are emerging as promising energy storage devices in the post-lithium era, leveraging the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at the air cathodes. Efficient bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts, capable of catalyzing both the ORR and OER, are essential for the operation of rechargeable ZABs. Traditional Pt- and RuO/IrO-based catalysts are not ideal, as they lack sufficient bifunctional ORR and OER activity, exhibit limited long-term durability, require high overpotentials and are expensive.

Background: Many organizations are faced with growing numbers of employees who combine their jobs with informal caregiving responsibilities. To support working caregivers in maintaining a good balance between work, private life and informal care, a workplace participatory approach (PA) intervention was implemented in four Dutch organizations. This study's aims were to evaluate the degree of PA implementation, contextual factors influencing implementation, and stakeholder experiences with the PA.

Directly Observed Treatment (DOT) involves the administration of medication and in-person monitoring by a healthcare team alongside the patient to improve adherence to tuberculosis (TB) treatment. Implementing DOT requires healthcare professionals, transportation, time dedication, and presence at the patient's residence. Meeting all these conditions is not always possible to address the high demand of TB patients who would benefit from this supervision.
