XAI-driven Data Mining for Self-defending IoT Systems:Enhancing Cybersecurity Transparency in the Age of Smart Cities

The rapid expansion of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in smart cities, healthcare, and industrial automation has intensified the need for cybersecurity frameworks capable of operating at scale and in real time under increasingly sophisticated threat conditions. Traditional security mechanisms and opaque AI-based models are no longer adequate for protecting interconnected urban infrastructures, especially as regulatory and societal expectations move toward transparency and accountability. Although prior surveys have examined IoT security and general AI techniques, they rarely address the emerging role of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) in data mining for IoT cybersecurity or integrate recent advances in cognitively inspired and human-aligned explainability methods. This survey provides an up-to-date review of XAI-driven data mining approaches applied to IoT ecosystems, highlighting their ability to detect anomalies, interpret complex sensor-driven behaviours, and support automated security decisions through transparent and interpretable reasoning. The review identifies critical challenges, including data privacy, scalability, computational constraints, and the interpretability limitations of modern AI models. It examines how biologically inspired learning paradigms and cognitively grounded explanation techniques can enhance trust and situational awareness in IoT environments. Emerging technologies such as edge intelligence, federated learning (FL), blockchain integration, and quantum-assisted analytics are discussed as promising enablers of scalable and transparent IoT security. The survey underscores the importance of trustworthy, ethically aligned AI, advocating for XAI frameworks that enable fair, auditable, and reliable decision-making in safety-critical infrastructure. By addressing gaps in the literature and synthesizing recent developments, this study presents a timely perspective on XAI, data mining, and IoT cybersecurity, outlining future directions for building resilient, interpretable, and human-centric smart city systems.</p

Exploring psychiatrists’ perspectives on supporting parents with mental health Challenges:a mixed-methods study

Background Parenting responsibilities can be particularly challenging for patients receiving mental health services, often resulting in a range of negative impacts on children. Incorporating a family-focused approach into the usual care of parents with mental illness has been recommended to promote patient recovery while supporting the well-being of children and the entire family unit. This study aimed to document the family-focused practices undertaken by psychiatrists working with parents who have a mental illness and to explore potential facilitators and barriers to these practices. Methods A sequential explanatory mixed-method design was used, combining an online survey and individual interviews. Family-focused practices were reported by 27 psychiatrists through the French version of the Family-Focused Mental Health Practice Questionnaire. Follow-up qualitative individual interviews were conducted with 5 psychiatrists. Item-by-item analysis of the quantitative data was performed, followed by a thematic analysis of the qualitative data, integrating findings from both sources. Results Although psychiatrists acknowledge their patients’ parenting role, most are reluctant to provide further support. Key barriers to family-focused practice include the predominantly individual-focused nature of psychiatric care, stigma, consent issues, and limited collaboration between adult and child services. Facilitators include psychiatrists’ professional autonomy, personal experience, and confidence in conducting family meetings. Conclusion Psychiatrists can play a pivotal role in identifying, acknowledging, and providing appropriate support to parents with mental illness and their families, including children. Developing comprehensive guidelines and targeted training is essential to equip psychiatrists with effective strategies for addressing parenting challenges in patients with complex mental health issues. Additionally, psychoeducational resources for children should be incorporated. Implementing these initiatives may lead to more compassionate, targeted care and improved outcomes for parents and their families.</p

‘Gastro-cool’ Japanese restaurants in urban Australia, 1950s–2023

This chapter examines Japanese restaurants in Australia’s urban gastro-scapes as sites that illuminate the transformation and heterogeneity of Japanese migrations from the 1950s to 2023. Through ethnographic fieldwork in Melbourne and Sydney during 2009–2012 and 2021–2023, this research analyses how these establishments—which expanded from approximately 500 in 2013 to 2, 000 in 2023—destabilise Anglo-centric narratives of Australia’s multiculturalism. This analysis examines how Japanese restaurants in Australia evolved through three lenses: their development by migrant entrepreneurs since the 1950s; their transformation from ethnic enclaves into diverse establishments through ‘gastro-cool’, challenging both orientalist and Australian identity narratives; and their mobilisation of social capital to strengthen community connections during COVID-19. These findings contribute to understanding how migrant-facilitated businesses strategically navigate cultural representation through calibrated adaptations that maintain cultural distinction while securing mainstream market position.</p

Corporate integrity and corporate cash reserves:insights from textual analysis

We examine how corporate integrity influences firms’ liquidity policies. Using a large U.S. sample and a text-based measure of corporate integrity developed by Li et al. (2021) from earnings call transcripts, we analyze whether an ethical corporate culture affects cash-holding behavior. The results show that firms with higher integrity maintain significantly larger cash reserves, consistent with the safety-net hypothesis that integrity-oriented managers adopt more cautious and risk-averse financial policies. The findings remain robust across alternative specifications, including propensity score matching, entropy balancing, and instrumental-variable analyses. Moreover, the effect is stronger among highly leveraged firms, suggesting that integrity reinforces financial prudence when external risk is greater. Overall, the evidence highlights corporate integrity as an important and stable driver of liquidity management, stressing its role in promoting financial resilience and sound risk management.</p

The effect of metacognitive skills on dissociative driving behaviour:a pilot study of two brief attention-based training methods

Dissociative driving behaviour (e.g., distraction, inattention, mind wandering) poses a significant risk to road safety. This pilot study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two brief attention training methods − attention training technique (ATT) and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), for improving self-reported driving attention. The study was advertised on social media platforms and open to adult Australians who reported experiencing difficulties with dissociation when driving in the past week. Participants were randomly assigned to engage in ATT (n = 20) or MBSR (n = 23) every second day for a period of two weeks, whilst a control group (n = 27) were asked to complete a weekly reflection task. All participants completed a survey relating to their thoughts and attention over the past week, before and after the training period. Preliminary correlation analyses showed that general attentional control, mindfulness, and disorganised thinking were relevant to driving-related attention. Mixed-model ANOVAs revealed that ATT and MBSR led to significant improvements in the self-reported ability to regulate attention whilst driving and the frequency of dissociative driving behaviours, over and above the control group. Improvements were also found in general attentional control, mindfulness, disorganised thinking, and psychological distress, particularly for the ATT group. The findings suggest that brief attention training methods are an accessible and effective means of intervening on dissociative driving behaviour. The outcomes of this study could inform future strategies aimed at reducing driving anxiety and attention-related vehicle crashes.</p

Workforce impacts of subsidised mental healthcare:evidence on supply, geographic distribution, and earnings

To improve access to affordable mental healthcare, Australia introduced a national, publicly-funded program in 2006 to subsidise psychological services, which were previously privately funded. Theory suggests that by increasing demand, subsidies should incentivise providers to expand supply, either by entering the workforce or by increasing hours. However, expansion depends on supply constraints, particularly in non-metropolitan areas with pronounced workforce shortages. This study examines the program’s effects on the size, work hours, demographic composition, location, and earnings of psychologists. Using an event-study design with administrative tax records and census data, we find that the program: (1) increased the supply of psychologists, with minimal effect on average hours worked per psychologist; (2) increased the likelihood of psychologists working in non-metropolitan areas, supporting broader access to mental healthcare; and (3) raised psychologists’ annual personal incomes.</p

Role overload and safety incidents:an examination of the individual- and team-level buffering effects of psychological safety

A supportive work environment benefits employees and their organizations, and is particularly important for safety outcomes. In this paper we respond to calls in the literature to examine the moderating effects of individual- and team-level psychological safety on the relationship between role overload and safety incidents. Drawing on conservation of resources theory, we proposed that role overload would be positively related to safety incidents. Second, we proposed a multi-level interaction model where individual- and team-level psychological safety attenuate the positive relationship between role overload and safety incidents. Using data obtained from 841 employees nested in 100 teams, our multi-level analyses revealed that role overload positively relates to safety incidents and that psychological safety is a team-, rather than an individual-, level moderating resource that confers protection for employees by buffering the effects of role overload on safety incidents. We also found a main effect for individual-level psychological safety, with higher levels of psychological safety associated with fewer incidents. Based on our findings, employees should individually and collectively invest resources to create a climate of psychological safety to protect themselves and their colleagues from the negative safety implications of role overload. Leaders are advised to focus on interventions to enhance team-level psychological safety including supportive environments to encourage team cohesion, initiative taking, accountability, and via their leadership development.</p

Hypergraph node representation learning with one-stage message passing

Hypergraphs as an expressive and general structure have attracted considerable attention from various research domains. Most existing hypergraph node representation learning techniques are based on graph neural networks, and thus adopt the two-stage message passing paradigm (i.e. node → hyperedge → node). This paradigm only focuses on local information propagation and does not effectively take into account global information, resulting in less optimal representations. Our theoretical analysis of representative two-stage message passing methods shows that, mathematically, they model different ways of local message passing through hyperedges, and can be unified into one-stage message passing (i.e. node → node). However, they still only model local information. Motivated by this theoretical analysis, we propose a novel one-stage message passing paradigm to model both global and local information propagation for hypergraphs. We integrate this paradigm into HGraphormer, a Transformer-based framework for hypergraph node representation learning. HGraphormer injects the hypergraph structure information (local information) into Transformers (global information) by combining the attention matrix and hypergraph Laplacian. Extensive experiments demonstrate that HGraphormer outperforms recent hypergraph learning methods on five representative benchmark datasets on the semi-supervised hypernode classification task, setting new state-of-the-art performance, with accuracy improvements between 2.52 % and 6.70 %. Our code and datasets are available.1</p
