The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a crucial element in everyday life. The IoT environment is currently facing significant security concerns due to the numerous problems related to its architecture and supporting technology. In order to guarantee the complete security of the IoT, it is important to deal with these challenges. This study centers on employing deep learning methodologies to detect attacks. In general, this research aims to improve the performance of existing deep learning models. To mitigate data imbalances and enhance learning outcomes, the synthetic minority over-sampling technique (SMOTE) is employed. Our approach contributes to a multistage feature extraction process where autoencoders (AEs) are used initially to extract robust features from unstructured data on the model architecture’s left side. Following this, long short-term memory (LSTM) networks on the right analyze these features to recognize temporal patterns indicative of abnormal behavior. The extracted and temporally refined features are inputted into convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for final classification. This structured arrangement harnesses the distinct capabilities of each model to process and classify IoT security data effectively. Our framework is specifically designed to address various attacks, including denial of service (DoS) and Mirai attacks, which are particularly harmful to IoT systems. Unlike conventional intrusion detection systems (IDSs) that may employ a singular model or simple feature extraction methods, our multistage approach provides more comprehensive analysis and utilization of data, enhancing detection capabilities and accuracy in identifying complex cyber threats in IoT environments. This research highlights the potential benefits that can be gained by applying deep learning methods to improve the effectiveness of IDSs in IoT security. The results obtained indicate a potential improvement for enhancing security measures and mitigating emerging threats.

Purpose: This paper proposes a discrimination index method based on the Jain's fairness index to distinguish researchers with the same H-index. Design/methodology/approach: A validity test is used to measure the correlation of D-offset with the parameters, i.e. H-index, the number of cited papers, the total number of citations, the number of indexed papers, and the number of uncited papers. The correlation test is based on the Saphiro-Wilk method and Pearson's product-moment correlation. Findings: The result from the discrimination index calculation is a two-digit decimal value called the discrimination-offset (D-offset), with a range of D-offset from 0.00 to 0.99. The result of the correlation value between the D-offset and the number of uncited papers is 0.35, D-offset with the number of indexed papers is 0.24, and the number of cited papers is 0.27. The test provides the result that it is very unlikely that there exists no relationship between the parameters. Practical implications: For this reason, D-offset is proposed as an additional parameter for H-index to differentiate researchers with the same H-index. The H-index for researchers can be written with the format of “H-index: D-offset”. Originality/value: D-offset is worthy to be considered as a complement value to add the H-index value. If the D-offset is added in the H-index value, the H-index will have more discrimination power to differentiate the rank of the researchers who have the same H-index.

The development of hybrid UAV is carried out to gain the advantage of fixed wing and rotorcraft type in one flying vehicle, so we get more flexibility to carry out its flying missions without requiring a special area for takeoff and landing. From several types of configurations, quadplane was chosen to be the object research because of its airframe which was simple and easy to develop. Quadplane is a fixed wing type UAV which is equipped with four electric motors, so it has the ability to fly like a quadcopter. In operational flight, quadplane has three flight modes, such as: quadcopter mode, transition mode, and fixed wing mode. In this study, the discussion will focus on developing a quadcopter mode system model. The system model is built using Matlab/Simulink which consists of several control blocks and equations of motion blocks. The control strategy used in this model are Proportional (P) and Proportional-Derivative (PD) controllers. From the simulation results that have been carried out, it was obtained that the quadcopter mode system model was able to follow the given reference value with 7.3% overshoot in the X direction, 7.2% overshoot in the Y direction, and a delay of 2.5 seconds in the Z direction.
