Fall detection (FD) systems are an important part of healthcare monitoring, especially for elderly populations, where quick intervention can prevent serious injuries. This paper introduces an optimized YOLOV5-based framework that combines dual attention mechanisms for improved FD in real-time edge deployment situations. The proposed design integrates the Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) and Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) blocks within the YOLOv5 backbone, along with an improved Focus module that uses slice-based feature extraction. These enhancements allow the model to effectively capture both spatial and channel-wise dependencies, which are essential for distinguishing fall events f... More >

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) play a critical role in protecting modern networks, but traditional centralized designs raise serious concerns regarding data privacy, trust, and scalability. Federated Learning (FL) reduces privacy risks through decentralized model training, and blockchain enhances trust by providing immutability and transparency. Combining these technologies creates a promising paradigm for secure and trustworthy IDS. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of blockchain-federated IDS with a particular focus on privacy and trust. The key contribution is a multi-dimensional taxonomy that integrates IDS architectures, FL strategies, blockchain types, and consensus mechani... More >
