Published: March 2022

Machine Learning generates programs that make predictions and informed decisions about complex problems in an efficient and reliable way. These ML programs autonomously test solutions against the dataset to find the best fit for the problem. The paper aims to review the ML algorithms that develop prediction models by utilizing training dataset and known output. The paper also focuses on ML principles, algorithms, approaches, and applications for Supervised, Unsupervised, and Reinforcement learning that can perform tasks without being explicitly programmed for it. Completely opposite to rule-based programming, the machine learning paradigm uses examples of real data sets and pre-process it before providing the desired outputs based on these examples. In the case of more involved and complex tasks, it can be challenging for humans to explicitly program the models. On the other hand, it can be more effective to help the machines develop the algorithms for advanced tasks. This paper will also present the trending real-world applications of Machine Learning in Image Recognition and Biomedicine. Additionally, it will provide a background analysis of machine learning and related fields of data science.

Published: March 2022

Introduction: Estimation of fetal weight is important for antenatal and intrapartum clinical decisionmaking. Accurate estimates are essential, since abnormal fetal growth may be associated with perinatal
and maternal risk. This study aimed to compare the accuracy of the three most commonly used techniques, abdominal
palpation and ultrasound, carried out near to and at term by comparing to the weight at birth.
Methods: Present study included 100 singleton pregnancies who were recruited from a tertiary care institute of North India
(JAIPUR GOLDEN HOSPITAL DELHI) . Anthropometric measurements were taken such as symphysio- fundal height, abdominal
circumference etc. Ultrasound estimation was also done. Comparison of the estimation methods were done to see the accuracy
of above methods.
Results: Primigravida were 50% with 77% participants with gestational age of 38 weeks or more. Mean actual weight was 2.92
kg followed by Johnson (2.89 kg) and Ultrasound methods (2.85 kg). Correlation coefcient was highest for ultrasound (r=0.943)
with actual weight. Error was lowest with ultrasound (145 grams) followed by Johnson's (207 grams).
Conclusion: Ultrasound is easy to use and newer advancements have made fetal weight estimation accurate. Ultrasound
training is also essential to make the fetal weight estimation with minimum error.

Purpose: Data regarding the efficacy of various radiotherapy techniques for post mastectomy chest-wall radiotherapy
(PMRT) using hypofractionation is scarce and cardiac toxicity remains a concern.This study aims to compare effect of
IMRT (Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy) and 3D-CRT (3-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy) techniques
on cardiac dose.
Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study,we compared IMRT and 3DCRT plans of 20 patients who received
PMRT to a dose of 42.56Gy/16# and the dosimetric parameters in terms of planning target volume (PTV) coverage and
dose to organ at risk (OARs) including heart and ipsilateral lung were recorded and analyzed.
Result: PTV coverage were comparable with both techniques. IMRT planning provided a better conformity index as
compared with 3DCRT (0.95 vs 0.91, p<0.001).The mean dose to the heart significantly reduced with IMRT (4.36Gy vs
8.2Gy,p<0.00001).
Conclusion: IMRT offers a significant reduction in mean heart dose than 3DCRT in patients treated with
hypofractionated post-mastectomy irradiation.

Many Korean-Chinese students decided to come back to their homeland for education and further career pathways. However, many Korean-Chinese face challenges and difficulties in South Korean schools and communities due to social and cultural differences. This study aims to understand the challenges of Korean-Chinese university students. Two research questions guided this study, including 1) how would Korean-Chinese university students describe their experiences based on the Sociocultural and Psychological Racism perspective during their university voyage in South Korea and 2) do Korean-Chinese university students face any particular difficulties and challenges due to their Korean-Chinese status based on the Sociocultural and Psychological Racism perspective during their university voyage in South Korea. Interview sessions and focus group activities were employed to collect data from 30 participants across the Korean peninsula. The results indicated that cultural characteristics, place of origin, and spoken languages are the three challenges for all Korean-Chinese participants. The results of this study filled the gaps in returning Korean students’ experiences, challenges and difficulties. Also, government leaders may reform and polish the current policies in order to help other Korean diaspora in the South Korean communities.

Democracy as Misunderstanding Between Freedom and Anarchy
Authors: Kabo Përparim
Published: March 2022

The democracy issue is the keyword and concern of this paper. There have been long discussions about “democracy through law” and if it is a reality in Albanian society. The prolonged transition came because of a misunderstanding with democracy. Instead of checking and balance, power control is installed and the nearly antagonistic opposition between them. There is robbery and abuse of national assets, public property, and individual property, while the state legalizes informality. We face populism in the streets and populism in meetings organized in the halls. The mobs in the street are an expression of the ochlocracy and crowds at organized meetings. Anthropology of medieval society with crowds and modern “princes” is a story that follows in the last three decades in Albania. Democracy seems like a double monocracy and there is the killing of pluralism day by day. Governance with online portals and show-politics display as an illusion of functional democracy. Enhance the role of institutions and the attack against them, supposedly to protect the so-called interests of people in need. Democracy was wounded by a mass media that failed to return to either public power or independent power. Media in the hands of dubious owners. These are valuable topics of analysis and require the exchange of opinions to the benefit of the country on its road toward development. They are related to the immediate and prospective needs for profound changes in mentality, conduct, and democratic institutions. This study provides a historical and concrete analysis of the reality, brought together with the laws of democracy as a system, to reveal if institutional democracy is normally functioning in Albania. And if not, it intends to highlight. the reasons hindering it, as well as how this can be overcome, contributing to an educated society, that believes in freedom and builds a prosperous country.

The study also explores the impact of applying critical thinking skills in using illustrations with the written narrative on readers who are following along with the events of the short story and linking them together. A mixed method was used to answer the questions and obtain the results. The quantitative method was used, where a study sample consisting of 35 students who were asked to submit an exam twice. The first time the exam contained only the written text. However, the second exam contained both the written text and the illustrations from a book. The qualitative method was applied on the same sample of students, where they were interviewed and asked whether the illustrations helped them in answering the questions on the written narrative. Next, they were asked specifically about the six questions which were based on the students’ use of their critical thinking skills in linking the provided illustrations with the written narrative. The study concluded by presenting how illustrations have a great effect on the students’ following along with the events and understating the main ideas in the narrative story. The results also show that the written text cannot always stand alone, and especially when it comes to young readers because they still lack the experience and the ability to be able to understand things on their own.
