    • Evaluating the Depression Level Based on Facial Image Analyzing and Patient Voice

      Ramos-Cuadros, Alexander; Santillan, Luis Palomino; Ugarte, Willy (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023-01-01)
      Depression is regarded as a widespread mental condition that affects people of all ages. It has a negative impact on a variety of aspects of life, including mood, vigor, and interests in enjoying activities. In the most severe cases, depression can also result in suicide. creating the chance for collaboration between mental health professionals and the use of technical tools to enhance the assessment of the severity of depression to offer the patient with an ideal clinical diagnosis and an appropriate referral to begin treatment. The COVID-19 epidemic in Peru has decreased face-to-face interaction and quick access to medical professionals, making it more difficult for patients’ mental health to be identified or treated effectively, which results in the disease becoming chronic, psychological suffering, and high costs associated with specialized care. The implementation of a technology model that assesses degrees of recurrent depression by examining facial photos and voice to identify the chronicity of depressive symptoms in young Peruvians is thus one of the research’s problems. Our findings demonstrate that, based on the functions of the mobile application, adolescent patients were predisposed to complete a self-administered depression questionnaire in a simulated setting with an optimal feeling of satisfaction and usefulness.

    • Cybersecurity framework for SMEs in Peru based on ISO/IEC 27001 and CSF NIST controls

      Angelo Edu, Munoz Luyo; Alexis, Garibay Palomino; Lenis, Wong Portillo (IEEE Computer Society, 2023-01-01)
      Due to the global pandemic that was experienced in 2020, the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) sector in Peru chose to store all their information in cloud services. However, a 2021 Kaspersky study indicates that SMBs have few resources to implement security solutions to protect their information. For this reason, this article proposes a cybersecurity framework composed of controls from ISO/IEC 27001 and the Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to mitigate cyber-threats against SMEs in Peru. The framework consists of 7 steps having as reference the Deming cycle (PDCA). For the implementation of the composite framework, we worked with 12 domains and 40 controls for a Peruvian SME in the technology sector. The results showed an increase in cybersecurity of 40 %, after applying the 40 controls, improving its level of maturity from the 'insufficient' state to a 'mature' state, according to the assessment given.

      Marin, Enrique Martin Saqui; Rivera, Victor Manuel Yamunaque; Armas-Aguirre, Jimmy; Aguirre, Santiago (IEEE Computer Society, 2023-01-01)
      In this paper, we present a novel system that combines process discovery and conformance checking to optimize resource usage in the operations area of banking companies. Our proposed system improves upon previous solutions by integrating real-time process mining techniques to reduce resource consumption in banking operations. The use of real-time process mining techniques in the proposed system enables faster error identification in processes, emphasizing the importance of such techniques for banking companies. The system is comprised of two integrated process mining techniques, as reported in existing literature. Process discovery involves two key components: dataset generation and process visualization. Additionally, compliance checking involves process monitoring, alerts, and reports. To validate the effectiveness of our system, we conducted a stress test, which was evaluated by experienced process mining users with extensive experience in the banking sector in Lima, Peru. Preliminary results of the stress test demonstrated a significant improvement in system performance, with a 37.42% increase in the capacity of web requests per minute and a total of 82.86% of requests successfully answered. These results enabled corrective and preventive actions to be taken, indicating the practical value of our proposed system in optimizing resource usage in banking operations. In conclusion, our system provides a robust solution to optimize resource usage in the operations area of banking companies and emphasizes the importance of real-time process mining techniques in achieving this goal. The system has been validated through a stress test and evaluation by experienced users in the banking sector, further indicating its practical applicability.

      Mita, Vielka; Castillo, Liliana; Castillo-Sequera, José Luis; Wong, Lenis (International Association of Online Engineering, 2023-01-01)
      The health sector around the world faces the continuous challenge of improving the services provided to patients. Therefore, digital transformation in health services plays a key role in integrating new technologies such as artificial intelligence. However, the health system in Peru has not yet taken the big step towards digitising its services, currently ranking 71st according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). This article proposes a learning health system for the management and monitoring of private health services in Peru based on the three key components of intelligent health care: (1) a health data platform (HDP); (2) intelligent technologies (IT); and (3) an intelligent health care suite (HIS). The solution consists of four layers: (1) data source, (2) data warehousing, (3) data analytics, and (4) visualization. In layer 1, all data sources are selected to create a database. The proposed learning health system is built, and the data storage is executed through the extract, transform and load (ETL) process in layer 2. In layer 3, the Kaggle dataset and the decision tree (DT) and random forest (RF) algorithms are used to predict the diagnosis of disease, resulting in the RF algorithm having the best performance. Finally, in layer 4, the intelligent health-care suite dashboards and interfaces are designed. The proposed system was applied in a clinic focused on preventing chronic kidney disease. A total of 100 patients and six kidney health experts participated. The results proved that the diagnosis of chronic kidney disease by the learning health system had a low error rate in positive diagnoses (err = 1.12%). Additionally, it was demonstrated that experts were “satisfied” with the dashboards and interfaces of the intelligent health-care suite as well as the quality of the learning health system.

      Caytuiro, Yesenia Cruzado; Navarro Mantari, Kerling A.; Durango, Daniel Wilfredo Burga (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022-01-01)
      Research shows that around 300 million children in the world live in situations of violence in their homes. In addition, it is mentioned that the attention to these cases is not adequate in terms of attention time and treatment [1]. This paper presents a web application which obtains statistics in real time that allows specialists to show cases of physical abuse and thus be able to intervene quickly. We present a system based on Amazon Web Services (AWS) made with MySql database and the RDS service. Compared to the traditional method, a survey carried out on paper and with a data processing time. This comparison showed that the average data capture rate is lower than with the traditional method since the data is uploaded to the network instantly without the need to digitize the responses and it can also be used anywhere with internet access.

      Carrillo-Pasiche, Piero; Miranda-Gutarra, Anthony; Ugarte, Willy (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022-01-01)
      Irrigation systems and their performance to efficiently accomplish their function have gained notoriety in recent years. Therefore, those systems are not capable of approaching many factors as water-saving and irrigation automation. Here we present a new irrigation system based on the IoT, analyzing the most important factors that involve an efficient irrigation process taking into consideration water usage and saving this resource. Thus, we developed a prototype using Arduino Uno which is connected to sensors that can lead a web application named HydroTi to determine when to irrigate and how much water to use. This function was enabled by Adafruit IO, a web service useful for IoT projects. To validate the effectiveness of this solution, we compared different irrigation types to determine that the automatic irrigation mode of HydroTi is better w.r.t. water consumption in Metropolitan Lima, Peru urban areas.

      Guzman, Diego Arrospide; Verastegui, Melisa Camila Bravo; Durango, Daniel Wilfredo Burga (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022-01-01)
      The investigation of the existing information has shown that there is a high waiting time for the scheduling and especially the attention of medical appointments. This paper presents THANI, a medical teleconsultation system aimed at the public sector, which aims to reduce long waiting times for medical appointments through a web platform that integrates all the benefits of telehealth. This system allows waiting times to be reduced by improving and redesigning the traditional flow that takes place in public health centers in Peru, which have proven to be inefficient and generate user dissatisfaction. We apply satisfaction surveys to the main users of the system: patients. This evaluation showed a considerable improvement in terms of medical appointment times, improving the experience of patients and medical providers of health services by reducing the time of attending medical appointments from 80 minutes on average to 30 minutes, which implies a saving of approximately 50 minutes.

      Aguilar-Loja, Omar; Dioses-Ojeda, Luis; Armas-Aguirre, Jimmy; Gonzalez, Paola A. (IEEE Computer Society, 2022-01-01)
      The use of machine learning algorithms in the field of nutritional health is a topic that has been developed in recent years for the early diagnosis of diseases or the recommendation of better nutritional habits. People with poor diets are more prone to chronic diseases and, in the long term, this can lead to dead. This study proposes a model for the recommendation of nutritional plans using the decision tree technique considering the patient data, in complement with the BMI (Body Mass Index) and BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) to evaluate and recommend the best nutritional plan for the patient. The algorithm used in the model was trained with a dataset of meal plan data assigned by specialists which were obtained from the Peruvian food composition table, and the data from the diets that were assigned and collected from the nutrition area of the Hospital Marino Molina Sccipa in Lima, Peru. Preliminary results of the experiment with the proposed algorithm show an accuracy of 78.95% allowing to provide accurate recommendations from a considerable amount of historical data. In a matter of seconds, these results were obtained using Scikit learn library. Finally, the accuracy of the algorithm has been proven, generating the necessary knowledge so that it can be used to create appropriate nutritional plans for patients and to improve the process of creating plans for the nutritionist.

    • Implementation of Lean Manufacturing Principles to increase Productivity in SMEs in the manufacturing sector of clothing

      Arica-Hernandez, Marco Antonio; Llagas-Llontop, Sebastian Eduardo; Khaburzaniya, Irakliy (Association for Computing Machinery, 2022-01-12)
      SMEs in the textile sector face many problems in their production flows, mainly due to the lack of production management systems caused by poor management of the production chain. Therefore, a diagnostic analysis is carried out in a textile SME to evaluate and define the deficiencies and factors that affect its competitiveness, which began with the analysis of the current situation of the company, where it was established the existence of poor-quality management, high waiting times and lack of procedures. Therefore, the use of lean manufacturing tools such as Jidoka, Single Minute Exchange of Die with respect to the production line and process management for the measurement and control of operations in the production area is proposed. The incorporation of these tools in block allows to decrease the rates of defective products, the excess of operative work and the set-up of the machines for the change of model. The main result of the research was that production increased to 0.091 und/PEN.

    • Efficient Grocery Shopping Using Geolocation and Data Mining

      Aliaga-Vasquez, Myrella; Bramon-Ayllon, Reyna; Ugarte, Willy (IEEE Computer Society, 2022-01-01)
      In the current pandemic, people are looking to leave their houses less frequently to prevent getting infected, but the absence of an app that shows the necessary information before going to the supermarket forces people to look in different supermarkets for the products they want to buy, thus increasing their chances of catching the virus, not to mention the waste of money and time. DoremyS is an app that allows you to create shopping lists that indicate to the user which supermarket to visit to find every product in them; it uses Geolocation to recommend supermarkets that are near the user and Data Mining to recommend shopping lists based on the user's interests.

    • IoT Watercare: Water Quality Control System in Unofficial Settlements of Peru Based in an IoT Architecture

      Salgado, Juanelv; Pizarro, Cesar; Wong, Lenis; Castillo, Jose (IEEE Computer Society, 2022-01-01)
      Many homes in the country of Peru, especially those located in unofficial settlements, are not connected to public service networks, and in the case of residential water, require tanker truck delivery. However, this water has often been contaminated from the upstream storage, conveyance and delivery systems that provide it, and thus will not comply with government water quality standards, ultimately compromising the health of the people who rely on it. While the topic of quality monitoring in traditional water networks has been studied, research has not focused on water quality control in under-developed and under-served unofficial settlements. This study introduces an IoT architecture and web-based system for real-Time monitoring of the key water quality parameters to help municipalities and other government entities to act early when large volumes of low-quality water are detected. The system proposed was implemented across five layers: capture, communication, processing, storage and presentation. Two experiments were conducted in a residential home with real time measurement of temperature, turbidity, TDS y pH. When comparing the results of both experiments, the pH parameter had a better precision with a 2% error rate. In addition, the survey results showed that the experts agree with the proposal.

    • An Investigation in Analyzing the Food Quality Well-Being for Lung Cancer Using Blockchain through CNN

      Aboamer, Mohamed Abdelkader; Sikkandar, Mohamed Yacin; Gupta, Sachin; Vives, Luis; Joshi, Kapil; Omarov, Batyrkhan; Singh, Sitesh Kumar (Hindawi Limited, 2022-01-01)
      Deep learning (DL) is a new approach that provides exceptional speed in healthcare activities with greater accuracy. In this regard, "convolutional neural network"or CNN and blockchain are two important parts that together fasten the disease detection procedures securely. CNN can detect and predict diseases like lung cancer and help determine food quality, and blockchain is responsible for data. This research is going to analyze the extension of blockchain with the help of CNN for lung cancer prediction and making food safer. CNN algorithm has been trained with a huge number of images by altering the filters, features, epoch values, padding value, kernel size, and resolution. Subsequently, the CNN accuracy has been measured to understand how these factors affect the accuracy. A linear regression analysis has been carried out in IBM SPSS where the independent variables selected are image dataset augmentation, epochs, features, pixel size (90 × 90 to 512 × 512), kernel size (0-7), filters (10-40), and padding. The dependent variable is the accuracy of CNN. Findings suggested that a larger number of epochs improve the CNN accuracy; however, when more than 12 epochs are considered, the accuracy may decrease. A greater pixel/resolution also improves the accuracy of cancer and food image detection. When images are provided with excellent features and filters, the CNN accuracy improves. The main objective of this research is to comprehend how the independent variables affect the accuracy (dependent), but the reading may not be fully exact, and thus, the researcher has conceded out a minor task, which delivered evidence supportive of the analysis and against the analysis. As a result, it can be determined that image augmentation and a large number of images develop the CNN accuracy in lung cancer prediction and food safety determination when features and filters are applied correctly. A total of 10-12 epochs are desirable for CNN to receive 99% accuracy with 1 padding.

    • Hybrid big bang-big crunch with ant colony optimization for email spam detection

      Natarajan, Rathika; Mehbodniya, Abolfazl; Ganapathy, Murugesan; Neware, Rahul; Pahuja, Swimpy; Vives, Luis; Asha (World Scientific, 2022-04-01)
      Electronic mails (emails) have been widely adapted by organizations and individuals as efficient communication means. Despite the pervasiveness of alternate means like social networks, mobile SMS, electronic messages, etc. email users are continuously growing. The higher user growth attracts more spammers who send unsolicited emails to anonymous users. These spam emails may contain malware, misleading information, phishing links, etc. that can imperil the privacy of benign users. The paper proposes a self-adaptive hybrid algorithm of big bang-big crunch (BB-BC) with ant colony optimization (ACO) for email spam detection. The BB-BC algorithm is based on the physics-inspired evolution theory of the universe, and the collective interaction behavior of ants is the inspiration for the ACO algorithm. Here, the ant miner plus (AMP) variant of the ACO algorithm is adapted, a data mining variant efficient for the classification. The proposed hybrid algorithm (HB3C-AMP) adapts the attributes of B3C (BB-BC) for local exploitation and AMP for global exploration. It evaluates the center of mass along with the consideration of pheromone value evaluated by the best ants to detect email spam efficiently. The experiments for the proposed HB3C-AMP algorithm are conducted with the Ling Spam and CSDMC2010 datasets. Different experiments are conducted to determine the significance of the pre-processing modules, iterations, and population size on the proposed algorithm. The results are also evaluated for the AM (ant miner), AM2 (ant miner2), AM3 (ant miner3), and AMP algorithms. The performance comparison demonstrates that the proposed HB3C-AMP algorithm is superior to the other techniques.

    • A novel hybrid approach of gravitational search algorithm and decision tree for twitter spammer detection

      Vives, Luis; Tuteja, Gurpreet Singh; Manideep, A. Sai; Jindal, Sonika; Sidhu, Navjot; Jindal, Richa; Bhatt, Abhishek (World Scientific, 2022-05-01)
      With the increasing popularity of online social networking platforms, the amount of social data has grown exponentially. Social data analysis is essential as spamming activities and spammers are escalating over online social networking platforms. This paper focuses on spammer detection on the Twitter social networking platform. Although existing researchers have developed numerous machine learning methods to detect spammers, these methods are inefficient for appropriately detecting spammers on Twitter due to the imbalance of spam and nonspam data distribution, the involvement of diverse features and the applicability of data mechanisms by spammers to avoid their detection. This research work proposes a novel hybrid approach of the gravitational search algorithm and the decision tree (HGSDT) for detecting Twitter spammers. The individual decision tree (DT) algorithm is not able to address the challenges as it is unstable and ineffective for the higher level of favorable data for a particular attribute. The gravitational search algorithm (GSA) constructs the DTs with improved performance as the gravitational forces act as the information-transferring agents through mass agents. Moreover, the GSA is efficient in handling the data of higher dimensional search space. In the HGSDT approach, the construction of the DT and splitting of nodes are performed with the heuristic function and Newton's laws. The performance of the proposed HGSDT approach is determined for the Social Honeypot dataset and 1KS-10KN dataset by conducting three different experiments to analyze the impact of training data size, features and spammer ratio. The result of the first experiment shows the need of a higher proportion of training data size, the second experiment signifies the more importance of textual content-based features compared to the other feature categories and the third experiment indicates the requirement of balanced data to attain the effective performance of the proposed approach. The overall performance comparison indicates that the proposed HGSDT approach is superior to the incorporated machine learning methods of DT, support vector machine and back propagation neural network for detecting Twitter spammers.

    • Enterprise architecture based on TOGAF for the aof educational institutions to e-learning using the DLPCA Methodology and Google Classroom

      Puntillo, Geraldine; Salazar, Alonso; Wong, Lenis (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022-01-01)
      Given the current situation of online classes, it is necessary to implement a Business Architecture model in order to facilitate the adaptation of virtual teaching, since 97.4% of teachers give up the use of information systems for learning. In addition, up to 80% of students experience stress with this new modality of learning. Based on this context, we can identify the gap in the adaptation to the virtual class process as a latent problem. Therefore, a model composed of 3 stages (Analysis, design, and validation) is proposed. Stage 1 includes the analysis of components on which the model will be developed. Stage 2 describes the Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) on which the model will be developed, and the Discover, Learn, Practice, Collaborate, and Assignment (DLPCA) e-learning Methodology as the basis of the business process to be proposed. Finally, in stage 3, the model was validated in a private school in Lima with 70 students, 2 teachers, and 1 director, where it was shown that our proposal increased user satisfaction by 18.97%, positively increased adaptation to virtual classes by 28.50%, and also obtained a 75.34% acceptance of our proposal by the subjects of study, which shows the effectiveness of our solution to the problem.
