The Indian music genre bestows an artist to offer their own particular flavor to a raga makes it delicate for a neophyte to spot two contrasting performances of the identical raga. The importance of Raga identification in Indian music cannot be inflated. The analysis must begin with relating the underpinning raga. There are various attempts made in relating the raga in an exceedingly music. The identification of ragas is intelligible and comes only after respectable quantum of revelation. For automated identification, several the attributes of ragas must be converted into applicable features. This becomes particularly difficult for Indian music because of the subsequent reasons which must be addressed while transforming a music piece into swara strings It might be difficult for a novice to distinguish between two different renditions of the same raga because the Indian music genre allows a performer to add their own unique flavour to a raga. It is impossible to overstate the significance of raga identification in Indian music. Identifying the underlying raga is the first step in the investigation. Various attempts have been made to relate the raga in a very musical way. Raga classification is comprehensible and follows a reasonable amount of revelation. Several ragas' properties must be transformed into relevant traits in order for them to be automatically identified. Due to the ensuing considerations that must be made while converting a musical composition into swara strings, this becomes especially challenging for Indian music. During a performance, numerous instruments are also used to create a musical composition. Indian music uses a relative scale rather than a Kelvin scale for its notes, in contrast to Western music. A very raga lacks a rooted beginning swara. In Indian music, notes contain a spectrum of frequencies (also known as oscillations) surrounding them rather than a fixed frequency. Each raga has an unfixed number of swaras, and if all of the raga's attributes are present, colourful extemporizations are permitted when citing a particular raga. These elements present a significant obstacle to the automatic discovery of raga. One of the methods for raga type is the recapitulation of raga into swaras at each point in time and classification using a classifier similar to K Nearest Neighbor model has been created and published while the model offers more nuance on the test dataset sample. There have been attempts to relate the raga to a piece of music. A strategy for determining the raga type involves resuming the raga into swaras at regular intervals and categorising using techniques like KNN and SVM.

Reviews, ratings, and experience stories left by customers on e-commerce websites and other online services are helpful to both buyers and sellers. The reviewer can foster more brand loyalty and aid in the understanding of other consumers' product experiences. Similar to how reviews help customers earn more profiles, reviews help businesses sell more things by enhancing customer satisfaction. However, suppliers may, unfortunately, abuse these review processes. For instance, one might fabricate positive evaluations to boost the reputation of a brand or attempt to denigrate rival brands' goods by posting fictitious reviews about them. Utilizing various machine learning techniques and tools are examples of existing solutions with supervision. Unlike previous work, I decided to use a wide range of vocabulary to work with, such as many datasets integrated into one enormous data set, rather than a confined dataset. Based on the reviews' text and emoji usage, sentiment analysis has been implemented. Review fraud is recognised and classed. The use of the Linear SVC, Support Vector Machine, and Random Forest algorithms yields the test results.
VIDEO SUMMARIZATION

Published: August 2022

The general public now has access to a vast amount of multimedia information thanks to recent technological advancements and the quick expansion of consumer electronics, making it challenging to effectively consume video material among the thousands of options accessible. By choosing and presenting the most educational or fascinating materials for users, we provide a method to quickly summarize the content of a lengthy video document. The practice of condensing a raw video into a more manageable form without losing much information is known as video summarizing. Either a comprehensive analysis of the full movie or the local differences between neighboring frames are used to achieve this. The majority of such approaches rely on universal characteristics like color, texture, motion data, etc. Video summaries are evaluated depending on the sort of content they are formed from (object, event, perception, or feature-based) and the functionality made available to the user for consumption (interactive or static, personalized or generic). The suggested system analyses each frame of a video as input before producing a summary. Each frame receives a score that is used to compare it to a threshold value in the final phase. Every frame whose frame score exceeds the threshold is chosen as a key frame and is represented in the final movie summary. This technique enables us to condense video information of various lengths while guaranteeing that the key moments are included. The purpose of video summary is to facilitate quick access, speed up browsing through a sizable video database, and offer a condensed video representation while maintaining the core activities of the original video.

Intention of StockMarket Prediction is to forecast future worth of a company's monetary stocks. utilising machine learning produces forecasts based on the values of current stock market indices Using their prior values as training data is a new development in stock market prediction technology. Predicting the performance of the stock market is one of the most challenging tasks.Prediction involves a huge number of variables, such as the distinction between physical and psychological factors, rational and irrational conduct, and more. Share prices are unpredictable and challenging to forecast accurately as a result of a combination of all these variables. Many researchers have conducted studies on the upcoming market developments movement. Data is a key source of efficiency because stock is made up of dynamic data. The prediction's efficiency has an effect on the same chances. To make accurate predictions, machine learning employs a variety of models. Machine learning techniques have the potential to uncover previously unknown patterns and insights using features like an organization's most recent announcements, quarterly sales statistics, and so forth, which can then be utilised to produce impeccably correct forecasts. The project's goal is to predict stock values using machine learning that is based on long short-term memory (LSTM) and regression. All of the variables—open, close, low, high, and volume are taken into account.

This paper deals with the optimized real time detection of diseases that affect the plant and the area affected using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) algorithms. So that appropriate fertilizers can be used to prevent further damage to plants from pathogenic viruses. The activation function is the core of the CNN model as it incorporates the non – linearity to have anauthentic artificial intelligence system for classification. ReLu is one among the best activation functions, but hasa disadvantage that the derivative of the function is zerofor negative values and leads to neuronal necrosis. New mathematical activation function is developed and compared with existing activation functions to improve the accuracy and performance of the system on a Tensor Flow frame work. The experimental results on trained databases show that the developed activation function has improved the CNN model accuracy and performance i.e. 95%. The training speed of the CNN model is improved by 83% when implemented in ARM processor using the proposed optimizer. Further area affected by disease is calculated by using K–means clustering algorithm for optimization of fertilizer usage.

Why is it Important to Identify Residual Cells in Leukaemia Patients after Treatment? A Review Article
Authors: Younus Hafsa Binte , Irfan Jannat , Ashraf Maria
Published: August 2022

Introduction: Most children diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia are cured and are not at risk of relapse. However, 20% of children are at a high risk of experiencing relapse later on in their lives. In order to detect risk and obtain prognostic information, the quantification of minimal residual disease (MRD) can be utilized. Detection of MRD can lead to efficient identification of relapse risk. However, there is limited understanding of the association between MRD and long-term outcomes after treatment in children. Therefore, this systematic review will examine existing literature to determine the strength of association between MRD negativity and relapse risk in children and its importance in the prediction of relapse.
Methods: A systematic review of 5 articles centered around ALL in children was analyzed to examine the strength of association between MRD negativity and clinical outcomes of event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) following the PRISMA guideline. The literature search was done through databases such as NCBI, PubMed, and other childhood oncology databases. The inclusion criteria included peer-reviewed clinical studies that focus on ALL relapse risk and MRD detection. Additionally, reviews, abstracts, and studies with inadequate sample sizes or correlations were excluded. Data were extracted and organized based on criteria of MRD negativity, MRD detection type, and relapse risk level. The data collected from all studies were analyzed through a meta-analysis. The five publications discussed in this article were a total of 11,265 participants.
Results: The results portion of your abstract should concisely describe a summary of the main findings. A positive correlation was determined between EFS and OS hazard ratios and MRD detection.
Discussion: The analysis of the five publications demonstrated that MRD is an important marker and a strong predictor of relapse in children who are diagnosed with ALL.
Conclusion: MRD detection can be proposed as a method of predicting a high risk of relapse in children with ALL. In essence, this literature review has the potential to identify the clinical and therapeutic significance of MRD testing which can be utilized to predict and prevent relapse of ALL in children.

Published: August 2022

In Burundi, malaria is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in children under five. This results in high clinical burden of the disease; however, its economic burden remains unknown. The aim of this study was to estimate the economic burden associated with malaria in Burundi and explore the factors that can affect the costs. This study was a prospective incidence-based cost-of-illness study analysed from the societal perspective. The study included children aged under five years with malaria infection, who visited and received treatment at any of the two study health facilities in the period of November to December 2019. Data collection was done by reviewing medical and financial records and by interviewing caregivers of the patients. Micro-costing approach was used to estimate the economic costs of malaria per episode. The cost was presented in international dollars (Int$) for the year 2019. Stepwise multiple linear regression method was applied to examine the factors affecting the costs and to generate a cost model. Eighty-five children with the average age of 29 months were included in the study. Most of them (70.5%) were treated as in-patient. The out-patient visits costed Int$23.5, while the in-patient hospitalization costed Int$218.2. The types of medical services, health facilities, antimalarials used, and duration of fever before seeking appropriate medical care were found to affect the costs. The model indicates that up to Int$18.76 can be saved per malaria episode if treated early (in less than 2 days). This can save up to Int$24,257,748 per year at national level. This study demonstrated that malaria is associated with a considerable economic burden in Burundi. It will support decision makers in deciding an appropriate clinical management for malaria prevention like the community case management program.

Authors: Solekah Nihayatu Aslamatis , Handriana Tanti , Usman Indrianawati
Published: August 2022

To maintain environmental sustainability can be managed and resolved by changing human behavior, especially by reducing plastic waste. This study investigated whether natural environmental orientation, environmental knowledge, environmental concern, and environmental attitude affect the extent to which millennials avoid or reduce the purchase of single-use plastic tableware, food with plastic packaging, and plastic water bottles called Willingness to Reduce Plastic Waste (WRPW). This study used quantitative using the purposive sampling method. Data collection techniques using online questionnaires were sent to respondents with criteria for educated millennial Muslims at Islamic universities in East Java, Central Java, and West Java. The survey was conducted for three months and obtained 369 respondents. The questionnaire is processed by using SEM analysis with Smart PLS. The results show that environmental knowledge provides a direct and an indirect effect on willingness to reduce plastic waste through environmental attitude. Meanwhile, environmental concern has no direct effect on willingness to reduce plastic waste, yet it has an indirect effect through environmental attitude. This research implies that concern for the environment is not necessarily accompanied by the willingness to reduce the use of plastic. However, adequate knowledge about the environment can increase the willingness to reduce the use of plastic among millennial generations who prioritize logical thinking and adapt to their knowledge.

Published: August 2022

Green behavior plays an essential role in the continuation of human life. This study aimed to investigate the effect of perceived social responsibility on green perception and behavior. The study was conducted using quantitative methods, sampling a questionnaire to 450 customers of various one-chain store branches in Iran through convenience sampling. The study was conducted from 16 May 2018 through 20 June 2018. Data from the moderating bootstrap analysis was used in PROCESS to analyze the data. The results indicated significant, positive correlations between social responsibility, on the one hand, and green perception and consumers' green behavior, on the other hand. In terms of strength, the coefficients indicated moderate relationships (r=0.345 and r=0.288, respectively). Indirect effects were studied using Macro bootstrap. It was revealed that green perception (β=0.0652) predicts consumers' green behavior and is a moderating variable. Additionally, the moderating impacts of extroversion and openness in the relationship between consumers' green perception and green behavior were identified. According to the research, in addition to increasing social responsibility, companies should try to increase customers' perception of this behavior to help green consumption.

This research uses a descriptive quantitative method. The sampling technique used non-probability sampling with a voluntary sampling technique. Data analysis applied Structural Equation Modeling using LISREL version 8.8. Data were obtained from 225 respondents in Greater Jakarta and Greater Bandung from January to March 2022, but only 192 were included in the analysis. The results showed that the intention to use telemedicine was directly influenced by attitude (A) and indirectly influenced by interrelated variables such as trust (T), perceived ease of use (PEU), perceived usefulness (PU), information quality (IQ), service quality (SrQ), and system quality (SQ). Implications that telemedicine service providers can apply to increase the use of telemedicine are to create the best experience, user friendly, provide complete information, and increase the reliability of information systems.
TEMO theorem for Sombor index
Authors:   Faculty of Science, University of Kragujevac, Kragujevac, Serbia, Gutman Ivan
Published: August 2022

TEMO = topological effect on molecular orbitals was discovered by Polansky and Zander in 1982, in connection with the eigenvalues of molecular graphs. Eventually, analogous regularities were established for a variety of other topological indices. We now show that a TEMO-type regularity also holds for the Sombor index (\(SO\)): For the graphs \(S\) and \(T\), constructed by connecting a pair of vertex-disjoint graphs by two edges, \(SO(S) < SO(T)\) holds. Analogous relations are verified for several other degree-based graph invariants.

Authors: Onyi Asiji Nwogu
Published: August 2022

Chorioamnionitis may significantly affect the outcome of positive birth experiences for expecting mothers. The purpose of this quantitative, quasi-experimental quality improvement project was to determine if the implementation of the University of Michigan’s Assessment Tool for Aseptic Technique and Assessment would impact the rate of maternal chorioamnionitis among laboring women admitted in a labor and delivery unit in a local Californian hospital over 30 days. Neuman’s system theory, Watson’s caring theory, and the plan, do, study, act (PDSA) cycle were the theoretical and conceptual underpinnings of the project. Data on chorioamnionitis rates were collected from a sample of women (n=856) using the California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative (CMQCC) source approach. Analyses revealed a statistically significant improvement in chorioamnionitis rates (ꭓ2 (1, n=856) = 29.55, p =.001). The clinical implication was that fewer laboring mothers were diagnosed with maternal infections following the implementation of the Aseptic Technique Intervention.

Published: August 2022

Introduction: In middle and low income regions of the world, there are approximately 90% of cervical cancer deaths. Factors contributing to the striking disproportionate cancer burden in the developing countries as opposed to the developed countries may include lack of effective large scale preventive interventions such as Cytology based screening programs, Visual Inspection with acetic acid (VIA) that emphasize patient education, accessible diagnostic treatment centres and established vaccination programs especially among Most at risk populations like female sex workers (FSWs). Methodology: The study was conducted in Calabar, South-Southern Nigeria. Calabar is a port city near the Cameroon border. This is a cross sectional retrospective study among 124 Human Immune Virus (HIV)Positive female sex workers receiving ART services, in which secondary data was obtained from the Clinic Data repository for a periodspanning from October 2018- October 2019. Data analysis was done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22. Result: 36.30% of the respondents are between the ages of 21-30 years, 78.20% had 0-4 sexual partners, and 76.60% of the respondents use condom. 89.50% were virally suppressed while 3.20% of the study population tested positive to cervical cancer. In the regression analysis, there were non-significant negative correlation linking Age, Parity groups and viral suppression to cervical cancer, and a positive non-significant correlation linking sex partners, smoking, previous STI and educational status to cervical cancer. However, a positive significant correlation was noted between family planning method and risk of cervical cancer. Conclusion: HIV-positive Nigerian FSWs are at marginally increased risk for cervical pre-cancer and cancer. The ‘screen and treat approach’ using VIA had been shown to be effective for the detection of cervical pre-cancer and cancer, and has shown to reduce loss to follow-up. This should be rapidly incorporated into HIV-treatment programs in resource-constraint settings.

It is characterized by being in the anterior attached gingiva of the maxilla, clinically it is observed as macular or elevated, with a papillary, granular, or smooth surface, bright red in color, and its presentation can be localized or generalized. It is an asymptomatic entity and is not associated with biofilm-induced inflammation. We present two female patients (17 and 10 years old) with relevant and unprecedented medical history respectively, who presented multifocal lesions of bright red color, painless of velvety texture of soft consistency in the maxilla and jaw in which a conservative therapeutic setting and basic periodontal therapy, observation and controls were performed, did not show regression of the lesions after 6 months of observation. It is important for the dentist to recognize this entity and to make the different differential diagnoses, as these could be clinically very coincidental, to carry out an optimal treatment strategy.

Peningkatan aktivitas masyarakat seperti berkebun dan wisata di daerah Desa Tarumajaya telah mengakibatkan penurunan kualitas perairan di Situ Cisanti. Untuk melakukan perbaikan, diperlukan data dan informasi mengenai kelimpahan dan keanekaragaman zooplankton dalam menentukan suatu rantai makanan dan indikator pencemaran suatu perairan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan informasi secara kuantitatif mengenai nilai kelimpahan dan keanekaragaman zooplankton di Situ Cisanti, Kecamatan Kertasari, Kabupaten Bandung. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Belt Transek. Stasiun penelitian dibagi atas tiga stasiun yaitu hulu (inlet), tengah, dan hilir (outlet) dengan titik pengambilan sampel sebanyak tiga kali pada setiap stasiun. Pengambilan sampel penelitian dilakukan pada pagi sampai siang hari. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kelimpahan zooplankton berkisar antara  1.000-28.000 ind/m3. Komposisi taksa zooplankton yang tercuplik  adalah kelas Crustacea yang terdiri dari lima genus, Cilliata yang terdiri dari satu genus dan Monogononta yang terdiri dua genus. Indeks keanekaragaman (H’) zooplankton berkisar antara 1,244-1,537, kisaran nilai indeks keanekaragaman (H’) zooplankton menunjukkan bahwa perairan Situ Cisanti memiliki keanekaragaman jenis sedang dan memiliki komunitas yang cukup stabil. Perlu dilakukan penelitian lanjutan mengenai kelimpahan dan keanekaragaman plankton di Situ Cisanti agar dapat ditemukan genus-genus zooplankton lainnya dan mendeskripsikan genus zooplankton yang belum terdeskripsi.
