The conventional method of mushroom cultivation can be labor-intensive and produce limited yields. Due to the humidity and temperature in the summer season, mushroom production is significantly diminished. The growth of each mushroom species depends on the consistency of care, the skill of experienced farmers, and crucial cultivation parameters such as temperature, humidity, irrigation, and exposure to sunlight. This study aims to implement an IoT-enabled cultivation system to control and monitor the environmental parameters of Indian mushroom cultivation within the proposed innovative framework, as compared to conventional methods. The IoT-based cultivation system consists of hardware components, circuit connections, software, and algorithms. This study confirms that consistent control of environmental parameters, such as temperature and relative humidity, by a dynamic climate promotes mushroom growth that is superior to conventional cultivation. Our findings reveal a substantial increase in the yield and quality of mushrooms, demonstrating the tangible advantages of applying an innovative approach. Traditional cultivation yielded an average of 4.118 kg, whereas IoT-based cultivation systems produced an average of 5.306 kg. The t-test statistic comparing yields has highlighted the significance of the observed differences with a p-value of 0.0000. The research contributions are to design and demonstrate the IoT-enabled system innovation with solar renewable energy, illustrating the effect of mushroom production and quality on the economic market analysis of mushroom cultivation in the direction of environmentally sustainable and green agricultural practices. This study’s comprehensive perspective can provide farmers, agricultural professionals, and policymakers with valuable insights regarding the future of mushroom cultivation, particularly the reduction of carbon emissions and energy consumption.

The proposed system incorporates controls for lighting and intrusion monitoring, as well as assessing both the functionality of voice commands and the precision of intruder detection via the PIR sensors. Intelligent light control and PIR intruder detection with a variable delay time for response detection are unified into the research methodology. The test outcomes examine the average effective response time in-depth, revealing performance distinctions among wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) and fourth- and fifth-generation mobile connections. The outcomes illustrate the reliability of voice-activated light control via Google Assistant, with response accuracy rates of 83 percent for Thai voice commands and 91.50 percent for English voice commands. Moreover, the Blynk mobile application provided exceptional precision regarding operating light-button commands. The PIR motion detectors have a one hundred percent detection accuracy, and a 2.5 s delay is advised for PIR detection. Extended PIR detection delays result in prolonged system response times. This study examines the intricacies of response times across various environmental conditions, considering different degrees of mobile communication quality. This study ultimately advances the field by developing an IoT system prepared for efficient integration into everyday life, holding the potential to provide improved convenience, time-saving effectiveness, cost-efficiency, and enhanced home security protocols.

Identity recognition is influenced at all educational levels by biometric technology. The invention of facial recognition technology has added new efficiencies to the traditional method of tracking student examination attendance. This study aims to determine whether biometric recognition technologies could be utilized to enhance undergraduate examination attendance systems. The study examined the perceptions of first-year college students regarding the system’s use of face recognition technologies. Based on the proposed framework, experimental results were obtained by developing and deploying unimodal and multimodal face recognition methods. Using a quasi-practical design with sample groups, undergraduate students’ perceptions of traditional and biometric examination attendance were compared. Adopting the Theory for Reasoned Action and the Technology Acceptance Model, a questionnaire was distributed and analyzed to determine perception factors. The findings reveal that perceived ease of use, and trust and security significantly impact perceived usefulness. It was discovered that perceived usefulness significantly affects behavioral intention to use a system. According to the research findings, multimodal biometric recognition receives significantly more positive ratings than unimodal biometric recognition. This study proposes that universities utilize biometric technology, particularly facial recognition, to assess users’ acceptance of the system.

The optimal management of personal resources impacts everyone’s quality of life. An investment in graduate education is a sustainable opportunity for improved outcomes in human life, including cognition, behavior, life opportunities, salary, and career. Advanced technology dramatically reduces the risk of personal resources in graduate program admission recommendations that depend on multiple individual needs and preferences. In the digital age, a dynamic recommender system enhances the suitably effective solution for students’ university selections. This study focused on designing, developing, and testing a recommender system for graduate admission using a dynamic multi-criteria AHP and fuzzy AHP approach. The explicit multi-criteria recommender system was a platform as a service (PaaS) web application created to aid in graduate admissions management and decision-making. The design proposed that the bit representation store a dynamic explicit multi-criteria data structure. The recommendations adopting dynamic multi-criteria were validated by comparing them to the programs to which the students were actually admitted and enrolled. They individually ranked the evaluation outcomes of dynamic explicit multi-criteria and alternative preferences to provide graduate admission recommendations. Eighty graduate students in information technology evaluated the recommender system. Using top-1, top-2, and F1-score accuracy, the effective system accuracy performance on the dynamic multi-criteria recommender system was evaluated using AHP and fuzzy AHP approaches. The fuzzy AHP demonstrated marginally greater practical accuracy than the AHP method.
