Data Modifications in Blockchain Architecture
Due to the immutability of blockchain, the integration with big-data systems creates limitations on redundancy, scalability, cost, and latency. Additionally, large amounts of invaluable data result in the waste of energy and storage resources. As a result, the demand for data deletion possibilities in blockchain has risen.

Single-Image Super-Resolution
Single-image super-resolution (SISR) aims to reconstruct a high-resolution (HR) image from a low-resolution (LR) one. Among the state-of-the-art realistic image super-resolution (SR) intelligent algorithms, generative adversarial networks (GANs) have achieved impressive visual performance.

Heart Rate Variability towards Noninvasive Glucose Measurement
Heart rate variability (HRV) is defined by the heart rate variations caused by the periodic change of heart rhythm over time in the absence of physiological activity, postural changes, and emotional stimuli. This labels HRV as a noninvasive marker of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) function. Heart rate variability (HRV) parameters can reveal the performance of the autonomic nervous system and possibly estimate the type of its malfunction, such as that of detecting the blood glucose level.

Financial Technologies
Financial technology (fintech) is an emerging field where novel technologies are used to improve the business operations or services offered by financial institutions and enterprises. Artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and cloud services have caused process disruption, while big data enables greater customer acquisition and retention. Together, these technologies have enhanced the use of interactive fintech agents in finance.

Technique for Searching Data
The growing popularity of data outsourcing to third-party cloud servers has a downside, related to the serious concerns of data owners about their security due to possible leakage. The desire to reduce the risk of loss of data confidentiality has become a motivating start to developing mechanisms that provide the ability to effectively use encryption to protect data. However, the use of traditional encryption methods faces a problem. Namely, traditional encryption, by making it impossible for insiders and outsiders to access data without knowing the keys, excludes the possibility of searching.

Blockchain-Based Federated Learning
Federated Learning (FL) is a distributed Deep Learning (DL) technique that creates a global model through the local training of multiple edge devices. It uses a central server for model communication and the aggregation of post-trained models. The central server orchestrates the training process by sending each participating device an initial or pre-trained model for training. To achieve the learning objective, focused updates from edge devices are sent back to the central server for aggregation. While such an architecture and information flows can support the preservation of the privacy of participating device data, the strong dependence on the central server is a significant drawback of this framework. Having a central server could potentially lead to a single point of failure. Further, a malicious server may be able to successfully reconstruct the original data, which could impact on trust, transparency, fairness, privacy, and security. Decentralizing the FL process can successfully address these issues. Integrating a decentralized protocol such as Blockchain technology into Federated Learning techniques will help to address these issues and ensure secure aggregation.

Emotion Recognition Systems
Emotion recognition systems (ERS) are an emerging technology with immense potential, exemplifying the innovative utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) within the context of the fourth industrial revolution (IR 4.0). Given that personalization is a key feature of the fifth industrial revolution (IR 5.0), ERS has the potential to serve as an enabler for IR 5.0. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the relevance of this technology as work processes were adapted for social distancing and the use of face masks. Even in the post-pandemic era, many individuals continue to wear face masks. Therefore, ERS offers a technological solution to address communication challenges in a masked world. The existing body of knowledge on ERS primarily focuses on exploring modalities or modes for emotion recognition, system development, and the creation of applications utilizing emotion recognition functions.

Federated Learning for Clinical Event Classification
A novel approach to clinical event classification in healthcare using federated learning (FL) and cross-device ensemble models based on vital signs data from the MIMIC-IV dataset was presented. The FL structure allows training directly on each client's device, ensuring patient privacy. The proposed method achieves an impressive accuracy of 98.9%, highlighting the significant potential of FL and ensemble technology in handling sensitive patient data for healthcare applications.

Blockchain Technology Used for Smart Drone Swarms
Intelligent drone technology is rapidly expanding, particularly in the defense industry. A swarm of drones can communicate, share data, and make the best decisions on their own. Drone swarms can swiftly and effectively carry out missions like surveillance, reconnaissance, and rescue operations, without exposing military troops to hostile conditions. The concept of leveraging blockchain technology to address problems with identification, security, and storage in UAV clusters is not new. There have been many approaches that have used novel methods to examine how we can use the benefits of blockchain technology to lessen these issues.

Electrocardiogram-Based Emotion Recognition
Heart rate variability (HRV) serves as a significant physiological measure that mirrors the regulatory capacity of the cardiac autonomic nervous system. It not only indicates the extent of the autonomic nervous system’s influence on heart function but also unveils the connection between emotions and psychological disorders.
