Resource allocation on periotity based schuduling and improve the security using DSSHA-256

Cloud computing has gained popularity with advancements in virtualization technology and the deployment of 5G. However, scheduling workload in a heterogeneous multi-cloud environment is a complicated process. Users of cloud services want to ensure that their data is secure and private, especially sensitive or proprietary information. Several research works have been proposed to solve the challenges associated with cloud computing. The proposed Adaptive Priority based scheduling (PBS) focuses on reducing data access completion time and computation expense for task scheduling in cloud computing. PBS assigns tasks depending on its size and selects the minimum cost path for data access. It contains a task register, scheduler, and task execution components for efficient task execution. The proposed system also executes a double signature mechanism for data privacy and security in data storage. This study correlates the perfo}rmance of three algorithms, PBS, (Task Requirement Degree) TRD and (recommended a Risk adaptive Access Control) RADAC, in terms of task execution time and makespan time. The experimental results demonstrate that PBS outperforms TRD and RADAC in both metrics, as the number of tasks increases. PBS has a minimum task execution time and a lower makespan time than the othertwo algorithms

Introduction: Organizational climate is a key factor in employee performance and satisfaction. In this study, the validity and reliability of an organizational climate scale in agroindustrial companies in Peru was examined. Objective: To analyze the psychometric properties of an organizational climate scale adapted to Peruvian Spanish. Methods: A methodological study was carried out. Demographic data were collected, as well as responses to an organizational climate questionnaire. Results: The data were analyzed using confirmatory factorial analysis (CFA). The reliability of the instrument was high (α = 0.92). However, the factor loadings of several items were not adequate, so a unidimensional model was tested, then a model with adequate factor loadings, and finally an optimal model. In this last 9-item model, the fit was optimal, and the factor loading was adequate for all items. Conclusion: Overall, the organizational climate scale demonstrated good reliability and validity in this context of agroindustrial companies in Peru. However, some items needed to be revised to improve the scale's accuracy. These findings provide a valuable tool for measuring the organizational climate in these types of companies and pave the way for future research in this field.

A proposed method for detecting network intrusion using an ensemble learning (stacking -voting) approach with unbalanced data

The use of computer networks has become necessary in most human activities. However, these networks are exposed to potential threats affecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data. Nowadays, the security of computer networks is based on tools and software such as antivirus software. Among the techniques used for machine protection, firewalls, data encryption, etc., were mentioned. These techniques constitute the first phase of computer network security. However, they remain limited and do not allow for full network protection. In this paper, a Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) was proposed for binary classification. This model was based on ensemble learning techniques, where the base models were carefully selected in a first layer. Several machine learning algorithms were individually studied to choose the best ones based on multiple metrics, including calculation speed. The SMOTE technique was used to balance the data, and cross-validation was employed to mitigate overfitting issues. Regarding the approaches used in this research, a stacking and voting model was employed, trained, and tested on a UNSW-NB15 dataset. The stacking classifier achieved a higher accuracy of 96%, while the voting approach attained 95.6%.

Optimizing Energy Consumption in 5G HetNets: A Coordinated Approach for Multi-Level Picocell Sleep Mode with Q-Learning

Cell standby, particularly picocell sleep mode (SM), is a prominent strategy for reducing energy consumption in 5G networks. The emergence of multi-state sleep states necessitates new optimization approaches. This paper proposes a novel energy optimization strategy for 5G heterogeneous networks (HetNets) that leverages macrocell-picocell coordination and machine learning. The proposed strategy focuses on managing the four available picocell sleep states. The picocell manages the first three states using the Q-learning algorithm, an efficient reinforcement learning technique. The associated macrocell based on picocell energy efficiency controls the final, deeper sleep state. This hierarchical approach leverages localized and network-wide control strengths for optimal energy savings. By capitalizing on macrocell-picocell coordination and machine learning, this work presents a promising solution for achieving significant energy reduction in 5G HetNets while maintaining network performance.

Fuzzy Decision-Making Model for the inventory leveling under uncertainty condition

    The option to create inventory is not always the optimal choice due to the associated expenses and space requirements. Nevertheless, there are instances where a shortage of materials on customer lines can result in substantial financial penalties. This constant contradiction places supply chain managers in a perplexing predicament, especially when considering the amplification of inventory through the bullwhip effect as it moves across different stages. Moreover, the uncertain backdrop created by unforeseen events intensifies this already critical situation, compelling managers to seek novel decision-making approaches. These approaches should enable the simulation of risks and the selection of suitable scenarios, particularly within the intricate domain of stochastic and dynamically evolving supply chains. In this study, we introduce a new decision-making model rooted in the fuzzy logic concept introduced by Loutfi Zadeh in 1965. This model is applied to criteria assessed by experts, representing the most pertinent parameters for guiding inventory optimization. The chosen criteria encompass Lead Time, Equipment Production Reliability, and Warehousing Costs. This model exhibits the potential to unearth intricate patterns and associations among variables that conventional statistical methods struggle to reveal. Notably, the integration of fuzzy logic for inventory prediction yields promising outcomes, extendable to the realm of artificial intelligence, where comprehensive inference rules facilitate effective decision-making.

Data de-duplication in cloud storage is crucial for optimizing resource utilization and reducing transmission overhead. By eliminating redundant copies of data, it enhances storage efficiency, lowers costs, and minimizes network bandwidth requirements, thereby improving overall performance and scalability of cloud-based systems. The research investigates the critical intersection of data de-duplication (DD) and privacy concerns within cloud storage services. Distributed Data (DD), a widely employed technique in these services and aims to enhance capacity utilization and reduce transmission bandwidth. However, it poses challenges to information privacy, typically addressed through encoding mechanisms. One significant approach to mitigating this conflict is hierarchical approved de-duplication, which empowers cloud users to conduct privilege-based duplicate checks before data upload. This hierarchical structure allows cloud servers to profile users based on their privileges, enabling more nuanced control over data management. In this research, we introduce the SHA method for de-duplication within cloud servers, supplemented by a secure pre-processing assessment. The proposed method accommodates dynamic privilege modifications, providing flexibility and adaptability to evolving user needs and access levels. Extensive theoretical analysis and simulated investigations validate the efficacy and security of the proposed system. By leveraging the SHA algorithm and incorporating robust pre-processing techniques, our approach not only enhances efficiency in data de-duplication but also addresses crucial privacy concerns inherent in cloud storage environments. This research contributes to advancing the understanding and implementation of efficient and secure data management practices within cloud infrastructures, with implications for a wide range of applications and industries.

A Progressive UNDML Framework Model for Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Classification

According to recent research, it is studied that the second most common cause of death for women worldwide is breast cancer. Since it can be incredibly difficult to determine the true cause of breast cancer, early diagnosis is crucial to lowering the disease's fatality rate. Early cancer detection raises the chance of survival by up to 8%. Radiologists look for irregularities in breast images collected from mammograms, X-rays, or MRI scans. Radiologists of all levels struggle to identify features like lumps, masses, and micro-calcifications, which leads to high false-positive and false-negative rates. Recent developments in deep learning and image processing give rise to some optimism for the creation of improved applications for the early diagnosis of breast cancer. A methodological study was carried out in which a new Deep U-Net Segmentation based Convolutional Neural Network, named UNDML framework is developed for identifying and categorizing breast anomalies. This framework involves the operations of preprocessing, quality enhancement, feature extraction, segmentation, and classification. Preprocessing is carried out in this case to enhance the quality of the breast picture input. Consequently, the Deep U-net segmentation methodology is applied to accurately segment the breast image for improving the cancer detection rate. Finally, the CNN mechanism is utilized to categorize the class of breast cancer. To validate the performance of this method, an extensive simulation and comparative analysis have been performed in this work. The obtained results demonstrate that the UNDML mechanism outperforms the other models with increased tumor detection rate and accuracy

Real-Time Vehicle Detection for Traffic Monitoring: A Deep Learning Approach

Vehicle detection is an essential technology for intelligent transportation systems and autonomous vehicles. Reliable real-time detection allows for traffic monitoring, safety enhancements and navigation aids. However, vehicle detection is a challenging computer vision task, especially in complex urban settings. Traditional methods using hand-crafted features like HAAR cascades have limitations. Recent deep learning advances have enabled convolutional neural networks (CNNs) like Faster R-CNN, SSD and YOLO to be applied to vehicle detection with significantly improved accuracy. But each technique has tradeoffs between precision and processing speed. Two-stage detectors like Faster R-CNN are highly accurate but slow at 7 FPS. Single-shot detectors like SSD are faster at 22 FPS but less precise. YOLO is extremely fast at 45 FPS but has lower accuracy. This paper reviews prominent deep learning vehicle detectors. It proposes a new integrated method combining YOLOv3 detection, optical flow tracking and trajectory analysis to enhance both accuracy and speed. Results on highway and urban datasets show improved precision, recall and F1 scores compared to YOLOv3 alone. Optical flow helps filter noise and recover missed detections. Trajectory analysis enables consistent object IDs across frames. Compared to other CNN models, the proposed technique achieves a better balance of real-time performance and accuracy. Occlusion handling and small object detection remain open challenges. In summary, deep learning has enabled major progress but enhancements in model architecture, training data and occlusion handling are needed to realize the full potential for traffic management applications. The integrated method proposed offers improved performance over baseline detectors. We have achieved 99 % accuracy in our project

Considered as a preliminary step for advanced remote sensing image tasks, haze removal becomes crucial. A novel approach is introduced with the objective of dehazing an image employing an encoder-decoder architecture embedded in a generative adversarial network (GAN). This innovative model systematically captures low-frequency information in the initial phase and subsequently assimilates high-frequency details from the remote sensing image. Incorporating a skip connection within the network serves the purpose of preventing information loss. To enhance the learning capability and assimilate more valuable insights, an additional component, the multi-scale attention module, is introduced. Drawing inspiration from multi-scale networks, an enhanced module is meticulously designed and incorporated at the network's conclusion. This augmentation methodology aims to further enhance the dehazing capabilities by assimilating context information across various scales. The material for fine-tuning the dehazing algorithm has been obtained from the RICE-I dataset that serves as the testing ground for a comprehensive comparison between our proposed method and other two alternative approaches. The experimental results distinctly showcase the superior efficacy of our method, both in qualitative and quantitative terms. Our proposed methodology performed better with respect to contemporary dehazing techniques in terms of PSNR and SSIM although it requires longer simulation times. So it could be concluded that we contributed a more comprehensive RS picture dehazing methodology to the existing dehazing methodology literature.

User acceptance of health information technologies (HIT): an application of the theory of planned behavior

Health Information Technologies (HIT) has a significant chance of enhancing the standard of medical treatment, but their acceptance faces major obstacles including low adoption rates and professional hesitancy. Limited research on HIT adoption, especially in poor nations, adds to this problem and clearly challenges health care managers and researchers. It emphasizes the need of knowing the elements influencing acceptance, choice, and usage of healthcare technology to improve user adoption willingness. Using past studies from several nations, this paper investigates the elements driving HIT adoption within the prism of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) under direction from the PRISMA framework guaranteed an open and exhaustive study. With eight publications compared to six from wealthy countries, the results expose a notable trend: emerging countries help more to promote HIT adoption research. Furthermore, the combination of TPB with other theories like the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) provides a whole framework for grasp the elements influencing HIT uptake. Core TPB components include subjective norms, attitude, and perceived behavioral control are well known in industrialized nations and supported by TAM's perceived utility and simplicity of use, along with demographic elements, therefore stressing a user-centric approach. Research on emerging nations, particularly China, shows, on the other hand, a wide spectrum of variables on HIT adoption including personal, technical, social, and institutional ones. The results greatly improve our knowledge of HIT adoption seen from the TPB perspective and provide insightful analysis for legislators developing sensible plans for HIT implementation.

Predicting saturation for a new fabric using artificial intelligence (fuzzy logic): experimental part

Weaving saturation can have harmful consequences, such as problems with loom performance, accelerated wear of mechanical parts and loss of raw materials. To avoid these problems, when designing and creating new fabrics, the densities and yarn qualities must be carefully matched with the weaves to ensure successful testing. To facilitate this task, this study focuses on the development of a practical fuzzy logic model for predicting the saturation of new fabrics. An experimental part was carried out to validate this fuzzy model. The fabric samples used in this study came from three different types of weaves, namely plain, twill and satin. These samples also included five weft counts (Nm) and eight different densities. The results obtained using the fuzzy logic model developed were compared with experimental values. The prediction results were satisfactory and precise, demonstrating the effectiveness of the fuzzy logic model developed. The mean absolute error of the calculated fuzzy model was 1.97%. It was therefore confirmed that this fuzzy model was both fast and reliable for predicting the saturation of new fabric

Hybrid Feature Selection with Chaotic Rat Swarm Optimization-Based Convolutional Neural Network for Heart Disease Prediction from Imbalanced Datasets

Introduction: Early diagnosis of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is vital in reducing mortality rates. Artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms have increased the CVD prediction capability of clinical decision support systems. However, the shallow feature learning in machine learning and incompetent feature selection methods still pose a greater challenge. Consequently, deep learning algorithms are needed to improvise the CVD prediction frameworks. Methods: This paper proposes an advanced CDSS for CVD detection using a hybrid DL method. Initially, the Improved Hierarchical Density-based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (IHDBSCAN), Adaptive Class Median-based Missing Value Imputation (ACMMVI) and Clustering Using Representatives-Adaptive Synthetic Sampling (CURE-ADASYN) approaches are introduced in the pre-processing stage for enhancing the input quality by solving the problems of outliers, missing values and class imbalance, respectively. Then, the features are extracted, and optimal feature subsets are selected using the hybrid model of Information gain with Improved Owl Optimization algorithm (IG-IOOA), where OOA is improved by enhancing the search functions of the local search process. These selected features are fed to the proposed Chaotic Rat Swarm Optimization-based Convolutional Neural Networks (CRSO-CNN) classifier model for detecting heart disease. Results: Four UCI datasets are used to validate the proposed framework, and the results showed that the OOA-DLSO-ELM-based approach provides better heart disease prediction with high accuracy of 97.57%, 97.32%, 96.254% and 97.37% for the four datasets. Conclusions: Therefore, this proposed CRSO-CNN model improves the heart disease classification with reduced time complexity for all four UCI datasets.

Non-performing loans and their impact on the profitability of Peruvian Municipal Savings and Loan Banks

Efficiently managing loans granted can have an immediate effect on the profitability and viability of a financial institution. Considering this, this study determined the impact of past-due loans on the profitability of the Peruvian Municipal Savings and Loan Banks during the period 2022. A quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, correlational-causal methodology was used, which employed documentary analysis and the design of a data sheet. The population and sample consisted of 11 Municipal Savings and Loan Associations, which have been approved and are inspected by the Superintendence of Banking, Insurance and Private Pension Fund Administrators. A positive and moderate correlation of Rho = 460 and a significance level greater than 0.05 (0.154 > 0.05) was found, that is, overdue loans have a positive, but not significant, impact on the profitability of these financial institutions. The behaviors of these variables allow us to conclude that having more past-due loans will not always result in lower profitability, since there may be other factors that help mitigate this negative impact.

Enhanced Brain Tumor Segmentation and Size Estimation in MRI Samples using Hybrid Optimization

The area of medical imaging specialization, specifically in the context of brain tumor segmentation, has long been challenged by the inherent complexity and variability of brain structures. Traditional segmentation methods often struggle to accurately differentiate between the diverse types of tissues within the brain, such as white matter, grey matter, and cerebrospinal fluid, leading to suboptimal results in tumor identification and delineation. These limitations necessitate the development of more advanced and precise segmentation techniques to enhance diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning. In response to these challenges, the proposed study introduces a novel segmentation approach that combines the Grey Wolf Optimization approach and the Cuckoo Search approach within a Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) framework. The integration of GWO and CS is designed to leverage their respective strengths in optimizing the segmentation of brain tissues. This hybrid approach was rigorously tested across multiple Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) datasets, demonstrating significant enhancements over existing segmentation methods. The study observed a 4,9 % improvement in accuracy, 3,5 % increase in precision, 4,5 % higher recall, 3,2 % less delay, and 2,5 % better specificity in tumor segmentation. The implications of these advancements are profound. By achieving higher precision and accuracy in brain tumor segmentation, the proposed method can substantially aid in early diagnosis and accurate staging of brain tumors, eventually leading to more effective treatment planning and improved patient outcomes. Furthermore, the integration of GWO and CS within the FCM process sets a new benchmark in medical imaging, paving the way for future investigation in the field of study

Validation of a Job Satisfaction Scale among Health Workers

Background: Job satisfaction is a key focus in organizational behavior studies, particularly relevant in the healthcare sector and nursing. It influences patient care quality and staff retention and is shaped by the work environment, working conditions, managerial support, and interactions among colleagues. However, there is limited research specifically addressing the job satisfaction of nurses in Peru, a critical area in health administration. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the metric properties of the S20/23 job satisfaction scale among Peruvian nurses. Methods: An instrumental research design was employed using a non-probabilistic sample of 325 nurses from two hospitals in Lima, Peru. The Chilean version of the S20/23 scale was used, comprising four dimensions of job satisfaction (relationship with supervision, physical work space, professional fulfillment, and training and decision-making opportunities). Data analysis included descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and reliability tests using Cronbach's Alpha and McDonald's Omega. Results: The CFA revealed a satisfactory fit for the four-dimensional structure with 18 items (χ2 = 387.290, df = 124, p < .001, CFI = 0.92, TLI = 0.90, RMSEA = 0.08, SRMR = 0.05). The scale also demonstrated high reliability for each dimension: relationship with supervision (α = 0.90, ꞷ = 0.87), physical work space (α, ꞷ = 0.92), professional fulfillment (α, ꞷ = 0.88), and training and decision-making opportunities (α = 0.88, ꞷ = 0.84), with acceptable factor loadings (>0.70). Conclusions: The adapted 18-item S20/23 scale is a valid and reliable tool for assessing job satisfaction among Peruvian nurses. The study highlights the importance of specific job satisfaction dimensions, such as relationships with supervisors and professional development opportunities, in the Peruvian nursing context.

Introduction: The knowledge of artificial intelligence (AI) by university professors provides them with the ability to effectively integrate these innovative technological tools, resulting in a significant improvement in the quality of the teaching and learning process.
Objective: To assess the level of knowledge about AI in a sample of Peruvian university professors.
Methods: Quantitative study, non-experimental design and descriptive cross-sectional type. The sample consisted of 55 university professors of both sexes who were administered a questionnaire to assess their level of knowledge about AI, which had adequate metric properties.
Results: The level of knowledge about AI was low for 41.8% of professors, regular for 40%, and high for 18.2%. This indicates that there is a significant gap in the knowledge of university professors about AI and its application in education, which could limit their ability to fully leverage AI tools and applications in the educational environment and could affect the quality and effectiveness of teaching. Likewise, it was determined that age and self-perception of digital competencies of professors were significantly associated with their level of knowledge about AI (p<0.05).
Conclusions: Peruvian university professors are characterized by presenting a low level of knowledge about AI. Therefore, it is recommended to implement training and professional development programs focused on artificial intelligence, in order to update and improve their skills in this field.

E-government and administrative management at the Provincial Municipality of Huaura

By using digital technologies to streamline procedures and increase the productivity of public services, e-government modernizes administrative management and makes government more accessible and responsive to citizens' requests for assistance. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between e-government and administrative management in the Provincial Municipality of Huaura, Peru. Using a sample of 129 administrative workers and a population of 194 administrative workers, a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional and correlational methodology was developed. Participants completed a survey-questionnaire. The results showed a substantial relationship between administrative management and e-government in the Provincial Municipality of Huaura, with a sig. of less than 5 % and an Rho value of 0.596. This allowed us to deduce that the planning, organization, management and control of the entity's public resources will improve to the extent that a more solid electronic infrastructure is implemented, political will and institutional architecture, governance through transformations and organizational redesign, and whether or not its citizens have the necessary tools or knowledge to access online information and services.

Challenges and opportunities in traffic flow prediction: review of machine learning and deep learning perspectives

In recent days, traffic prediction has been essential for modern transportation networks. Smart cities rely on traffic management and prediction systems. This study utilizes state-of-the-art deep learning and machine learning techniques to adjust to changing traffic conditions. Modern DL models, such as LSTM and GRU, are examined here to see whether they may enhance prediction accuracy and provide valuable insights. Repairing problems and errors connected to weather requires hybrid models that integrate deep learning with machine learning. These models need top-notch training data to be precise, flexible, and able to generalize. Researchers are continuously exploring new approaches, such as hybrid models, deep learning, and machine learning, to discover traffic flow data patterns that span several places and time periods. Our current traffic flow estimates need improvement. Some expected benefits are fewer pollutants, higher-quality air, and more straightforward urban transportation. With machine learning and deep learning, this study aims to improve traffic management in urban areas. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models may reliably forecast traffic patterns.

Bibliometric Mapping of Trends of Project-Based Learning with Augmented Reality on Communication Ability of Children with Special Needs (Autism)

This study aims to analyze the use of project-based learning with augmented reality (AR) on the communication skills of autistic children through systematic literature review and theoretical bibliometric analysis of research on autistic children's communication skills sourced from Scopus from 2013 to 2022. The research method is a systematic literature review with analysis theory and bibliometric analysis with VOSviewer and RStudio applications. This research was conducted in several stages, namely determining i) research questions; ii) inclusion and exclusion criteria; iii) quality assessment; iv) data collection; and v) bibliometric analysis. The results of this study note that research on the communication skills of autistic children is still a research trend that is of great interest to researchers with an increase in research occurring from 2015 to 2022. Countries from the Americas and Asia have contributed the most to research on the communication skills of autistic children. The subject areas of psychology and social science are the subject areas with the most contributions, namely 22% each of the 165 articles found. There is a relationship between the term project (P), communication skills (CS), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This relationship is shown by the link strength P→CS is 2 and the link strength CS→ASD is 4. The characteristic requirements for autistic children for project-based learning with AR are middle class autistic children. The characteristics possessed by project-based learning can help in training the level of communication skills of autistic children and it would be better if assisted with the use of AR.

Methods and algorithms of optimization in computer engineering: review and comparative analysis

Introduction: The main areas of application of artificial intelligence for algorithmic analysis and optimization of information flows in tasks of multiparametric diagnostics by means of computer engineering are considered. The issues of globalization of all areas of humanitarian, scientific, technical and engineering activities of human society are considered. It is noted that the common denominator of all directions is information flows. The main tools for their management and algorithmic analysis are multi-parametric methods of artificial intelligence.
Methods: One of its most relevant areas has been highlighted - the use of evolutionary algorithms in combination with modern diagnostic systems based on computer engineering. The possibility of using intelligent analysis of data from biophysical laser systems in assessing the state of “living matter” - the biological media of the human body - is considered.
Results: Through algorithmic optimization, a set of new cancer detection markers was determined: the statistical parameters of optical anisotropy maps wavelet coefficients linear distributions - the differences between these markers lie in the range from 4 to 20 times; the asymmetry of the wavelet coefficients autocorrelation function - the differences between these markers lie within two orders of magnitude; for normal state, the wavelet coefficients distributions are multifractal; for prostate cancer, the distributions of the wavelet amplitude coefficients are multifractal.
Conclusions: A comparative study of the algorithmic optimization of differences of cancer through the use of multiparametric statistical, correlational, fractal and wavelet analysis of polarization tomograms of optical anisotropy of blood layers of donors and prostate cancer sicks is presented

Literature review on artificial intelligence in dyeing and finishing processes

The finishing process in the textile sector is recognized as one of the most complex. This complexity arises from the diversity of structures, the multiple steps involved, the use of complex machinery, the variety of materials, chemicals and dyes, and the need to combine creativity and precision. Therefore, it is crucial to have tools that can improve efficiency, flexibility, and decision-making in this complex area. This literature review aims to provide relevant information on the use of digital engineering in the field of textile finishing. In this review, we used a systematic literature review methodology to examine how digital engineering is applied in the dyeing and finishing process. The data for this study was collected from reputed databases such as Science Direct, IEEE Xplore, Textile Research Journal and Google Scholar. We used the Prisma framework to select relevant articles, which led to the exclusive inclusion of journal articles in our literature review. A comprehensive framework has been developed to understand the impacts of using digital engineering. The approach presented in this framework provides a comprehensive and highly effective approach to addressing the complex challenges associated with ambiguity, modifications and subtleties frequently observed in the ennobling process. The results of various studies explored different aspects, such as properties of textile materials, chemicals and dyes, performance of finishing machines, organizational performance of finishing companies, as well as health concerns and safety at work. Although these studies have provided valuable solutions, they unfortunately remain insufficient to meet the requirements of the finishing process, which remains a complex area characterized by uncertainties, variations, and subtleties inherent to the practice. This particularity of each dyed and finished product promotes an environment conducive to experimentation and continued research.
