 Abstract

This research presents a new way to enhance smart home security by combining automated circuit control and NFC technology. A PN532 Reader Writer and a Raspberry Pi are used in the system's construction to control a servo motor for door access. Authentication uses symmetric encryption techniques to protect sensitive data by matching encrypted passwords saved on NFC tags with secure credentials controlled on a Flask server. In-depth evaluation confirmed the correctness and dependability of the system by showing a 100% success rate in correctly detecting and authorizing NFC cards. Rapid credential resets are facilitated by the system to mitigate any security threats such as theft or unauthorized access, guaranteeing ongoing protection. The system is further improved by an associated Android application that lets users keep an eye on access logs, add new users, and get real-time alerts when an unlock event occurs. This mobile interface improves user experience by facilitating smooth control over access management. The method provides a simple, effective way to regulate access while also strengthening the physical security of smart homes by combining NFC technology with cutting-edge encryption methods. By addressing major issues with automated, secure access systems, this study offers a workable and expandable solution for contemporary smart homes that advances IoT-based security while safeguarding data security, accessibility, and dependability.

 Abstract

By arguing that people are systematically conditioned into inflexible political, economic, and cultural frameworks but are inherently free from systemic dogma, freemism offers a radical rethinking of human ideological engagement. According to this thesis, traditional ideologies--from capitalism to communism--inevitably fall short because they stifle individual thought and are unable to change to meet the demands of a changing society. The work creates a "conditioning matrix" whereby media, education, and cultural norms enforce ideological compliance by analyzing historical instances of 20th-century ideological collapses (such as the Soviet purges, the 2008 financial crisis, and the fascist genocides) and philosophically criticizing conformity mechanisms. Freemism manifests as a dynamic approach to the construction of one's own belief system as well as a rejection of dogma. Its fundamental principles--complete ideological autonomy, ethical ephemeralism, and responsible anarchy--are presented as intentional paradoxes that avoid dogmatic recidivism rather than as contradictions. Three innovations are introduced in the study: 1) Fluid consensus protocols for collective action without permanent systems, 2) Metrics such as the Ideological Autonomy Index to measure societal freedom from dogma, and 3) A developmental model for ideological deconditioning employing Socratic self-inquiry and cognitive bias inoculation. A Freemist (one who follow freemism) is an individual who is free from all ideological boundaries and does not subscribe to any existing political, economic, or philosophical system such as Communism, Capitalism, Socialism, Anarchism, Fascism, or Centrism. Instead, a Freemist believes in and follows their own self-defined ideology, shaped by personal reasoning, experience, free will and independent thought. This work adds to political philosophy a self-correcting framework for post-ideological societies--one in which people transform from passive ideology consumers to active worldview architects--by redefining freedom as the ability to continuously rebuild belief systems rather than reject all structure.

 Abstract

In urban and rural areas, unexpected rain can cause inconvenience, especially when windows are left open. This can lead to damage to interior furnishings, electronics, and other items. Conventional manual systems require human intervention to operate windows, which is not always feasible, especially when residents are away. An automatic rain detection window system provides a practical solution by sensing rain and actuating the windows to open or close as needed.

 Abstract

This paper presents a mobile-based interior design solution using Augmented Reality (AR) to help users visualize furniture in their own space before making a purchase. The system is designed using Java, the Android SDK, Google's ARCore framework, and Firebase for backend support. It enables furniture owners to upload their furniture, which can then be viewed in real-time by customers through AR. Initially developed using Unity and ARCore for rapid prototyping, the system was later rebuilt with native Java for better Android integration and flexibility. This paper outlines the challenges in traditional interior design methods, the motivation for using AR, and the step-by-step development of an AR-based shopping interface for interior design. Our goal is to bridge the gap between imagination and reality by allowing users to digitally place and preview furniture in their real environment, improving decision-making and reducing product return rates.
