Atthe time of the release of 8.9, upwards to 40% of the Elastic integrations have a version released to use time series index mode out of the box. These include but are not limited to: Kubernetes, Nginx, System, AWS, Kinesis, Lambda, and most of the integrations that collect large numbers of metrics.
This process of enabling integrations to use time series index mode will continue, and these will be released outside of the Elastic release cycle, essentially updated when ready. This will apply to Elastic Cloud, as any on-prem or self-managed cloud deployments will have to wait for the next release to upgrade.
When you use a time_series index mode enabled Elastic integration, your metrics data will be stored efficiently without need for you to manage your storage configuration and out of the box reduce your disk space requirements for storing metrics up to 70%.
To determine if a time series enabled version of an Elastic Agent metrics integration is available, use the integrations documentation to locate the integration, then scroll down to the changelog in its description page.
All you have to do is upgrade the integration version (with the upgrade integration policies selected) to the time series enabled version. This will unlock the time series indexing mode going forward!
Get started today and experience the benefits of storing your metrics in time series mode in the most popular and powerful store for logs!

This study presents a comprehensive assessment of the test performance of Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) students in the System Integration and Architecture (SIA) course, coupled with a meticulous examination of the quality of test questions, aiming to lay the groundwork for enhancing the assessment tool. Employing a cross-sectional research design, the study involved 200 fourth-year students enrolled in the course. The results illuminated a significant discrepancy in scores between upper and lower student cohorts, highlighting the necessity for targeted interventions, curriculum enhancements, and assessment refinements, particularly for those in the lower-performing group. Further examination of the item difficulty index of the assessment tool unveiled the need to fine-tune certain items to better suit a broader spectrum of students. Nevertheless, the majority of items were deemed adequately aligned with their respective difficulty levels. Additionally, an analysis of the item discrimination index identified 25 items suitable for retention, while 27 items warranted revision, and 3 items were suitable for removal, as per the analysis outcomes. These insights provide a valuable foundation for improving the assessment tool, thereby optimizing its capacity to evaluate students' acquired knowledge effectively. The study's novel contribution lies in its integration of both student performance assessment and evaluation of assessment tool quality within the BSIT program, offering actionable insights for improving educational outcomes. By identifying challenges faced by BSIT students and proposing targeted interventions, curriculum enhancements, and assessment refinements, the research advances our understanding of effective assessment practices. Furthermore, the detailed analysis of item difficulty and discrimination indices offers practical guidance for enhancing the reliability and validity of assessment tools in the BSIT program. Overall, this research contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing empirical evidence and actionable recommendations tailored to the needs of BSIT students, promoting educational quality and student success in Information Technology.
Brain tumors are among the deadliest forms of cancer, and there is a significant death rate in patients. Identifying and classifying brain tumors are critical steps in understanding their functioning. The best way to treat a brain tumor depends on its type, size, and location. In the modern era, Radiologists utilize Brain tumor locations that can be determined using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, manual tests and MRI examinations are time-consuming and require skills. In addition, misdiagnosis of tumors can lead to inappropriate medical therapy, which could reduce their chances of living. As technology advances in Deep Learning (DL), Computer Assisted Diagnosis (CAD) as well as Machine Learning (ML) technique has been developed to aid in the detection of brain tumors, radiologists can now more accurately identify brain tumors. This paper proposes an MRI image classification using a VGG16 model to make a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) architecture. The proposed model was evaluated with two sets of brain MRI data from Kaggle. Considering both datasets during the training at Google Colab, the proposed method achieved significant performance with a maximum overall accuracy of 96.67% and 97.67%, respectively. The proposed model was reported to have worked well during the training period and been highly accurate. The proposed model's performance criteria go beyond existing techniques.
The Internet of Things (IoT) allows you to connect a broad spectrum of smart devices through the Internet. Incorporating IoT sensors for remote health monitoring is a game-changer for the medical industry, especially in limited spaces. Environmental sensors can be installed in small rooms to monitor an individual's health. Through low-cost sensors, as the core of the IoT physical layer, the RF (Radio Frequency) identification technique is advanced enough to facilitate personal healthcare. Recently, RFID technology has been utilized in the healthcare sector to enhance accurate data collection through various software systems. Steganography is a method that makes user data more secure than it has ever been before. The necessity of upholding secrecy in the widely used healthcare system will be covered in this solution. Health monitoring sensors are a crucial tool for analyzing real-time data and developing the medical box, an innovative solution that provides patients with access to medical assistance. By monitoring patients remotely, healthcare professionals can provide prompt medical attention whenever needed while ensuring patients' privacy and personal information are protected.
Urdu Language ranks ten and is continuously progressing. This unique PRISMA-Driven review deeply investigates Urdu speech recognition literature and adjoin it with English, Mandarin Chinese, and Hindi languages frame-works conceptualizing wider global perspective. The main objective is to unify progress on classical Artificially Intelligent (AI) and recent Deep Neural Networks (DNN) based speech recognition pipeline encompassing Dataset challenges, Feature extraction methods, Experimental design and the smooth integration with both Acoustic models (AM) and Language models (LM) using Transcriptions. A total of 176 articles were extracted from Google Scholar database for each language with custom query design. Inclusion criteria and quality assessment leads to end up with 5 review and 42 research articles. Comparative research questions have been addressed and findings were organized by four possible speech types: Isolated, connected, continuous and spontaneous. The finding shows that English, Mandarin, and Hindi languages used spontaneous speech size of 300, 200 and 1108 hours respectively which is quite remarkable as compared to Urdu spontaneous speech data size of only 9.5 hours. For the same data size reason, the Word Error Rate (WER) for English falls below 5% while for Mandarin Chinese the alternative metric Character Error Rate (CER) is mostly used that lies below 25%. The success of English and Chinese Speech recognition leads to incomparable accuracy due to wide use of DNNs like Conformer, Transformers, E2E-attention in comparison to conventional feature extraction and AI models LSTM, TDNN, RNN, HMM, GMM-HMM; used frequently by both Hindi and Urdu.
This research suggests an efficient idea that is better suited for speech processing applications for retrieving the accurate pitch from speech signal in noisy conditions. For this objective, we present a fundamental frequency extraction algorithm and that is tolerant to the non-stationary changes of the amplitude and frequency of the input signal. Moreover, we use an accumulated power spectrum instead of power spectrum, which uses the shorter sub-frames of the input signal to reduce the noise characteristics of the speech signals. To increase the accuracy of the fundamental frequency extraction we have concentrated on maintaining the speech harmonics in their original state and suppressing the noise elements involved in the noisy speech signal. The two stages that make up the suggested fundamental frequency extraction approach are producing the accumulated power spectrum of the speech signal and weighting it with the average magnitude difference function. As per the experiment results, the proposed technique appears to be better in noisy situations than other existing state-of-the-art methods such as Weighted Autocorrelation Function (WAF), PEFAC, and BaNa.
