ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK BASED DATA MINING APPROACH FOR HUMAN HEART DISEASE PREDICTION

Human heart can be described as a compound body organ contains muscles together with biological nerves. Human heart pumps nearly 5 litre of blood in the body providing the human body with renewed material [6]. If operation of heart is not proper, it will affect the other body parts of human such as brain, kidney etc. various study revealed that heart disease have emerged as the number one killer in world. About 25 per cent of deaths in the age group of 25-69 years occur because of heart disease. There are number of factors, which increase the risk of heart disease such as smoking, cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity and low physical exercise etc. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has estimated that 12 million deaths occur worldwide, every year due to heart diseases. WHO estimated by 2030, almost 23.6 million people will die due to Heart disease.Cardiovascular disease includes coronary heart disease (CHD), cerebrovascular disease (stroke), Hypertensive heart disease, congenital heart disease, peripheral artery disease, rheumatic heart disease, inflammatory heart disease [5]. Heart disease prediction can help in reduction of deaths due to heart problems. Diagnosis is usually based on signs, symptoms and physical examination of a patient. Heart diagnosis is not always possible at every medical centre and due to lack of advance heart diagnosis equipment usually physicians goes through intuition and experience to diagnosis the patient. Consequently medical errors and indivisible results are reasons for computer based diagnosis system [7]. Health care industry today generates large amount of complex data about patients, hospitals resources, disease diagnosis, electronic patient records, medical devices etc. The large amounts of data act as a key source to be processed and analysed for knowledge extraction that act as support for cost-savings and decision making [3]. Now a days, computer method intelligent data processing are available and applied for this purpose and thus expert medical system can be created. One of the promising method is Data mining and Artificial neural network which is highly effective tool used in classification task as well as to solve many important problem, such as signal enhancement, identification and prediction of signals and factors.

The effects of various chemicals on lung, skin and eye: a review

Abstract During the past century humans have introduced plenty of chemical substances into the environment. Some are the waste from industrial and agricultural processes. Several have been designed as structural materials and others have been designed to perform different functions like healing the sick or killing pests and weeds. Clearly, some chemicals are useful but many are toxic and harmful to the environment and their impact on our health far outweighs their advantage to the society. We need to control the risks better by just using chemicals, which are safe. In this review, we will discuss about inhalation (breathing) and contact routes and their effects on lung, skin and eye.
O Causation, Where Art Thou?

T Uller (Lund University, Sweden) and Kevin Laland (University of St. Andrews, United Kingdom) have edited this interesting volume consisting of 15 chapters, in which contributors with backgrounds in evolutionary biology or philosophy discuss evolutionary causation from various perspectives. This volume emerged from a large and collaborative international research program, funded by the Templeton Foundation, with the title “Putting the extended evolutionary synthesis to test. ” The contributors participated in a workshop within this research program in Vienna on the theme “Cause and process in evolution. ” The background is an intense discussion in the evolutionary biology community regarding the status of the Modern Synthesis, its relationship to present-day research, and whether there is a need for an update, or what has been labeled the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis. Some philosophers and biologists (including the editors of this volume) have argued that there is a need for an extension of evolutionary theory, claiming that traditional population and quantitative genetics do not incorporate phenomena like niche construction, developmental plasticity, developmental bias, and nongenetic inheritance (Laland et al. 2014, 2015). Other evolutionary biologists have questioned this characterization of evolutionary biology and, instead, claim that these phenomena can and have easily been incorporated into the traditional theoretical framework as various add-ons (Charlesworth et al. 2017, Futuyma 2017). For simplicity and convenience, we can label the former camp as reformers and the latter camp as traditionalists, keeping in mind that there are several intermediate conceptual positions in between these two endpoints. Indeed, one of the most interesting insights I gained from reading this volume (which is biased toward the reformist camp) is that those arguing for conceptual change in evolutionary biology are conceptually split among themselves. It is therefore difficult or even impossible to extract a single coherent message from all the contributions in this volume, although I do not think this was necessarily an aim of the editors. Perhaps it is for this reason that there is no concluding remarks chapter. Clearly, there are different voices to be heard in this debate. This volume is a good entry point in to the literature for those seeking to understand what the debate is about and what the main arguments are from the reformers’ side.
Shark liver oil consumption decreases contractility in EDL muscle of trained rats

Abstract Introduction: Professional and recreational athletes make daily use of nutritional supplements to improve physical performance. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been used in this sense. N-3 PUFA, particularly eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids are involved in important physiological functions and the benefits of supplementation are demonstrated in several types of users. Shark liver oil (SLO) is a natural source of n-3 PUFA. Objective: To evaluate the effect of supplementation with SLO on contractility of skeletal muscles with different metabolic characteristics, soleus and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) from rats submitted to eight weeks of interval training of progressive intensity on a motorized treadmill. In the supplemented group, animals were supplemented with SLO (1 g/kg) five times a week for eight weeks. Method: Contractile parameters as maximum isometric twitch force (Tmax), maximum speed of force development (+dF/dt), maximum speed of force decrease (-dF/dt), maximum tetanic force (Fmax) and resistance to fatigue were analyzed in isolated muscle. Results: Compared to the control group, EDL muscles from the supplemented group reduced Tmax at the first (10.82 ± 0.89 vs 14.30 ± 0.67 mN/mm2. p < 0.01) and second minutes of experimentation (9.85 ± 0.63 vs 13.12 ± 0.70 mN/mm2. p < 0.01). However, it increased resistance to fatigue (22.80 ± 0.97 vs 18.60 ± 0.51 seconds. p = 0.005). Conclusion: No difference was observed in the soleus muscle.

Socio-Demographic profile of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis patients in Hambantota District, Sri Lanka

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is known to Sri Lanka from 1992. The distribution of the disease is increasing and large numbers of CL cases are reported from Hambantota district. This study was focused on selected clinical features and socio-demographic factors of CL positive patients in Hambantota district and this information were collected using a questionnaire from CL suspected patients who attended to the Tangalle Hospital from June, 2016 to January, 2017. For selecting the CL positivity, slit skin smears were obtained from lesions of suspected patients. These smears were stained and examined for Leishmania amastigotes. Smears were positive in 183 patients. Majority of them had one lesion on the body and 117 patients were males (p 50 years. House-wives and students were identified as highly affected occupants. The higher number of CL patients lived in rural areas (p<0.001). Most of the CL patients lived in houses with cemented floors and walls with tiled -roofs meanwhile 117 houses had cracks, either in floors or walls. Further, 95.5% of patients were unaware of sand-fly biting. These findings highlight the socio-demographic profile of the CL patients in Hambantota district which will be important for the disease management strategies.
Analysis of Intraslab Predigital Earthquakes of the South-Central Alaska Region

I compare intensity data from 17 predigital intraslab earthquakes in south-central Alaska and digitized waveforms for nine of these events to similar data for the 24 January 2016 Iniskin and 30 November 2018 Anchorage intraslab events. Both the 2016 and 2018 events were associated with amplification of strong ground motion at distances of over 100 km from their epicenters, likely due to the velocity structure associated with flat slab subduction in the region as well as the thick sedimentary sequence found within the Cook Inlet basin. Six of the predigital events also appear to have similar amplification of strong ground motion. Waveform comparisons suggest the 4 May 1934 Prince William Sound and 3 October 1954 Kenai Peninsula events had similar focal mechanisms and depths to the 30 November 2018 Anchorage event. Earthquakes occurring in regions where the P-wave velocity of the slab exceeds 7.5 km/s tend to be associated with higher strong ground motions.
Towards a high-performance HR bundle process for lean service operations

Purpose – This article presents an empirically-induced ‘high performance’ ‘Human Resources (HR) bundle’, comprising six HR practices, for supporting lean service operations. Design/methodology/approach – A multiple case study. A qualitative dataset, including transcripts from 27 semi-structured in-depth interviews with lean practitioners from across five service organizations that have adopted lean practices, was thematically analysed to establish key HR practices on the road to lean maturity. Findings – A ‘high performance’ HR bundle of three work practices and three employment practices emerged from the analysis. These practices typically mature implicitly rather than systematically to support organizations in successfully implementing lean service operations, by: resourcing the most suitable people for carefully-defined roles; providing workers with extensive lean training opportunities; 2 appraising workers’ performances such that lean-behaviours are recognized and rewarded; and encouraging a participative teamworking culture. Research limitations/implications – This article uses cross-sectional data from five case studies to induce a ‘high performance’ ‘HR bundle’ theoretical model and process. A larger number of case studies and/or longitudinal data would add credence. Practical implications – Lean service managers should regard HR practices as integral to the lean maturation process and might usefully conceive of them as processes allowing for greater management control to achieve incremental improvements to lean service provision. Originality/value - The article provides deeper understanding of the importance of HR practice for lean service organizations and offers practical suggestions for managing HR practices in this context.
Review of variability in PSA measurement

The variations in PSA test report may be blamed to laboratory for improper testing and may raise the issues about the quality of laboratory services. So while interpreting PSA test results whether abnormal or normal the causes of variability in PSA test report must be taken into account. The variation in PSA value is related with prosatatic diseases other than prostate cancer such as acute prostatitis BPH, prostate ischemia or due to non-prostatic diseases such as acute renal failure or due to simple clinical examination procedure such as digital rectal examination. The variation is also attributed to the procedures like cystoscopy, trasnrectal ultrasound, prostate biopsy. Due to this variation further work up may be done by measuring PSA velocity and PSA density.

The new mechanism for credit portfolio quality management is proposed, featuring a combination of quantitative and qualitative criteria for assessing the credit portfolio quality and its monitoring. This mechanism supports decision-making on approving or rejecting a credit application in accordance with the permissible risk factors values. The model for optimization of the credit portfolio structure is developed. It provides an optimal ratio of long-term and short-term credits and ensures the maximum of the credit portfolio profitability under various credit policies.
Understanding the potential for nitrate attenuation from paddock to stream using dual nitrate isotopes : A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy

Understanding the Potential for Nitrate Attenuation from Paddock to Stream using Dual Nitrate Isotopes by Sephrah Amy Rayner Ruminant urine deposition can result in nitrate (NO3) leaching from soil to groundwater under agricultural systems. Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from ruminant urine patches are also a major concern as N2O is a potent greenhouse gas and contributes to ozone depletion. New Zealand agriculture is dominated by grazed-pasture systems, where ruminant urine deposition has become a significant environmental concern. Attenuation (removal) of NO3 from the system through biological denitrification, reducing it to the inert gas dinitrogen (N2), is one way to reduce NO3 leaching losses and N2O emissions from agriculture. Understanding temporal and spatial variations in NO3 attenuation capacity that occurs within the landscape, between the site of ruminant urine deposition and stream or groundwater contamination, may provide a key mitigation tool. The general goal of this PhD programme was to use isotope analysis and soil physics to increase our knowledge of when, ‘hot moments’, and where, ‘hot spots’, of NO3 attenuation occur under grazed agricultural soils. Soil physical properties; soil moisture, defined as soil matric potential (Ψ), and relative gas diffusivity (Dp/D0) play key roles in the amount and rate of NO3 attenuation that occurs in the soil. These properties were explored under controlled laboratory conditions for two pasture soils (both A and B horizons), to identify the key Ψ for holding Dp/D0 at a previously identified threshold for peak denitrification to occur (Chapter 4). The identified key Ψ was then used to analyse the effect of soil type on dual NO3 isotope signatures under laboratory conditions (Chapter 5). Another factor that could affect dual NO3 isotope signatures is the presence or absence of plants in the soil under bovine urine (BU) patches. This was assessed using lysimeters in a field setting over time, to also better understand temporal isotope dynamics (Chapter 6). All findings were then taken into consideration in a field context, where temporal and spatial variation in N attenuation was measured at two contrasting field sites in Southland, New Zealand using dual NO3 isotope signatures and soil physical properties (Chapter 7).
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AS A KEY CONCEPT TO SUCCESSFUL POLICE LEADERSHIP AND COOPERATION IN THE GLOBAL WORLD

The new realities of police cooperation and leading in the international level ask for culturally attuned and emotionally sensitive global police leaders who can react to the challenges of the particular foreign environments of various countries and complex interpersonal work situations. Also for police leaders with the different frame of responsibility, it is important to be self-aware and empathetic and be able to read and regulate their own emotions while intuitively grasping how others feel and gauging their organization’s emotional state. The most gifted leaders accomplish that by using a mysterious blend of psychological abilities known as EI. Therefore the purpose of the research is to explore how the EI impacts to successful police leadership and cooperation in a global world.
Factors associated with health literacy and self-care behaviors among Iranian diabetic patients: A cross-sectional study

Abstract Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common health problems. Self-care behaviors are very important for managing diabetes and significantly affected by patient's health literacy. The aim of this study was designed to determine the associated factors with health literacy and self-care behaviors among Iranian diabetic patients. Methods: In this descriptive-analytic study, the total of 131 diabetic patients who referred to the Tuyserkan diabetes clinic (in the west of Iran) was recruited by census sampling method in 2014. The data were collected using self-care scale of Toobert and Glasgow and health literacy questionnaire of adults function. To investigate demographic and the underlying information of patients, pre-designed check-lists based on forms of patients’ care records were used. After collection, data analysis was performed using the software SPSS 16. Results: Self-care and education level, employment status, type of treatment, and body mass index were significantly correlated, the self-care behaviors in terms of the diet, physical activity, blood glucose testing, and foot care were significantly associate with together. Most patients had inadequate health literacy (73.3%) and there was no significant relationship between health literacy and self-care performances. Results indicated that the self-care behaviors in diabetic patients and health literacy status are not in satisfactory level. Conclusion and recommendations: However, diabetic patients, require proper knowledge and attitude of self-care performance to control and manage their disease successfully. In this regard, health promotion programs can pay more attention to self-care and health literacy to people with diabetes.
