Terapia Anticoagulante para Tratamento da Trombose Venosa Profunda – O Que Há de Novo?
Authors: Maria Viana Sanches Suzanna
Published: May 2020

A utilização de anticoagulantes orais diretos (DOACs), tais como dabigatrana, rivaroxabana, apixabana e edoxabana, está hoje entre as mais novas terapias para o tratamento de trombose venosa profunda. Os DOACs apresentam várias vantagens sobre drogas convencionais, como varfarina, heparinas e antagonistas da vitamina K, como início rápido de ação, farmacocinética previsível, administração simples, ausência de necessidade de monitorização laboratorial, além de fácil manuseio. Com a ampliação do seu uso, tornou-se evidente que os DOACs, além de mais fáceis de manejar, são mais seguros que a terapia convencional. Entretanto, alguns fatores devem ser levados em consideração antes da escolha da terapia com DOACs, como pacientes oncológios, gestantes e lactantes e pacientes obesos; além de sangramento maior e menor, duração do tratamento e dose-resposta. Dessa forma, para o manejo seguro de DOACs em determinadas condições, mais estudos precisam ser realizados a fim de maior segurança e eficácia parao paciente.

Published: May 2020

Objective: To observe whether the use of WhatsApp™ can contribute to the improvement and retention of ECG knowledge during medical graduation in a period-time of 4 months. Material and Methods: A controlled, quasi-randomized, intention-to-treat, clinical trial. Medical students of the 2nd and 3rd semester attended a 2-hour class on elementar ECG interpretation. A test with 10 ECG tracings covering subjects was applied with a possible 0-10 score at 4 different times: immediately before the lesson (M1), immediately after the lesson (M2), one month after the lesson (M3) and four months after the lesson (M4). Intervention group, formed by 2nd-semester students, were included, shortly after M2, in a WhatsApp™ group, in which final year medical students and a cardiology resident discussed ECG tracings frequently in the absence of a teacher. Control group, formed by 3rd-semester students, was instructed to study on their own. Results: 13 students were included from the 2nd semester and 11 from the 3rd semester. In M1, the intervention and control group obtained a median of 0.0. In M2, both groups presented a similar increase with a median of 4.0 (IIQ=2.8-5.0) for the intervention group and 4.5 (IIQ= 3.3-5.5) for the control group. In M3, there was a difference between group scores, with a median of 6.0 (IIQ= 3.5-7.0) for the intervention group and 2.0 (IIQ=0-4.0) for the control group (p=0.016). In M4, difference was maintained (4.0 for intervention group [IIQ= 3.0-6.3] vs. 1.0 [IIQ= 1.0-3.0] for control group [p= 0.006]). Conclusion: Early-stage medical students learned and retained more elementar ECG knowledge when participating in WhatsApp™ ECG group discussion with more advanced medical students and medical resident, even without a teacher in this group.

Authors: Almeida Matos Marcos , Liesle dos Santos Silva Luanne
Published: May 2020

Objetivo: Verificar o impacto da necrose avascular da cabeça do fêmur sobre a qualidade de vida de crianças e adolescentes com doença de Perthes e anemia falciforme. Material e Métodos: Estudo comparativo com 24 crianças entre oito e 18 anos com necrose avascular da cabeça do fêmur secundária à doença de Perthes e à anemia falciforme (grupo com necrose) e 24 crianças consideradas assintomáticas (grupo sem necrose). Foram coletados dados clínicos e sociodemográficos e aplicado o instrumento PedsQL 4.0 e o escore de Charnley para disfunção do quadril. Resultados: Não houve diferença no escore global e em nenhum domínio comparando os grupos Perthes (global=73,1) e anemia falciforme (global = 65,9). Quando comparados os grupos sem necrose e com necrose, nota-se que o grupo Perthes tem escore inferior apenas para o domínio Capacidade Física (87,5 versus 68,5); já o grupo anemia falciforme tem escore global inferior (64,9 versus 79,4) e também nos domínios Capacidade Física (68,5 versus 87,5) e Aspecto Escolar (62,9 versus 73,7). Conclusão: A necrose avascular da cabeça do fêmur produz escores de qualidade de vida inferiores tanto na avaliação global, como nos domínios Capacidade Física e Aspecto Escolar. Foram identificadas presença de necrose, lesão bilateral e função do quadril como fatores associados à perda de qualidade de vida. Nível de evidência III, Estudo seccional comparativo.

Este é um tema complexo que envolve a multidisciplinaridade na saúde, a ética médica e a participação da família nos cuidados paliativos de pacientes.
Intervenção Coronariana Percutânea com Mínima Dose de Contraste em Pacientes de Alto Risco para Injúria Renal Aguda: Relato de Caso
Authors: Peixoto Oliveira Ricardo , Pinheiro Sena Joberto , Macedo de Aguiar Bruno , Raimundo Brito José Carlos
Published: May 2020

A doença arterial coronariana é responsável por elevada morbi-mortalidade em todo mundo e a intervenção coronariana percutânea (ICP) é uma dos pilares de tratamento para essa condição. Entretanto, a exposição a meio de contraste está relacionada a aumento de incidência de doença renal aguda (nefropatia induzida pelo contraste - NIC), principalmente em pacientes de alto risco, conferindo pior prognóstico. Nesse cenário, a utilização da estratégia de intervenção coronariana percutânea com uso de mínimo volume de contraste consolida-se como estratégia adequada para essa situação. Relatamos um caso de paciente idoso, com disfunção renal crônica e doença coronariana sintomática, submetido a ICP com a estratégia de low contrast PCI.
Anticorpos Anti-Gangliosídeos em Pacientes com Síndrome de Guillain-Barré Associado à Infecção pelo Vírus Zika no Brasil
Authors: Do Rosário Mateus
Published: May 2020

A infecção pelo vírus zika está associada ao desenvolvimento da Síndrome de Guillain-Barré (SGB), uma doença autoimune neurológica causada pelo reconhecimento imune de gangliosídeos e outros componentes nas membranas das células neuronais. Utilizando ELISA de alto rendimento, analisamos o perfil de anticorpos anti-glicolipídeos, incluindo gangliosídeos, de amostras de plasma de pacientes com infecções por zika associadas ou não à SGB em Salvador, Bahia, Brasil. Observamos que os pacientes infectados com o zika vírus que desenvolvem SGB apresentam níveis mais altos de anticorpos antigangliosídeos quando comparados com pacientes infectados com zika sem SGB. Também observamos que um amplo repertório de gangliosídeos foi direcionado por auto anticorpos anti IgM e IgG nesses pacientes. Como o vírus zika infecta neurônios, que contêm gangliosídeos de membrana, a apresentação antigênica dessas células infectadas pode estimular os autoanticorpos anti-gangliosídeos observados, sugerindo que os autoanticorpos induzidos diretamente pela infecção podem levar ao desenvolvimento de SGB. Nossos resultados estabelecem, coletivamente, uma ligação entre anticorpos antigangliosídeos e SGB associado ao zika vírus.

Suwerenność – zagadkowe pojęcie kontynentalnego państwa. Wybrane kwestie z historii i teorii suwerenności
Authors: Kaczorowski Paweł
Published: May 2020

The author describes the moment of the emergence of the concept of sovereignty, its causes, historical significance, as well as the issues raised in the debate over this concept since the seventeenth century. Sovereignty refers to the state and points to its essential feature, which defines the state as the result of occidental rationalism (Max Weber). According to this definition, the state is different from other, earlier and parallel political forms, such as republics and empires. However, changes in the history of the state also affect the way in which sovereignty is understood. Consequently, the concept of sovereignty is often difficult to justify or is even – as some authors claim – anachronistic. The author outlines different approaches in the discussion about the validity of this concept and their premises. He also describes the relationship between the principle of sovereignty and the democratic rule of law.
Legalność władzy a tajność polityki
Authors: Mazurek Marcin
Published: May 2020

This article is devoted to the secrecy of politics in the context of sources and mechanisms of the legitimization of state power. The author formulates a thesis according to which the category of secrecy is inapplicable and inadequate beyond the form of power that is based on broad, purposive and rational legitimacy. Secret politics – which is in principle heteronomous and unjustifiable on the basis of the broadly understood idea of representation – is a technique that allows the power to mediate between the subjective motivations of individuals and social groups and the objective good of a political community. This, in turn, exposes the multifaceted contradiction between real political subjectivity and autonomy and the ‘objective’ metaphysical horizon that lies at the foundations of this subjectivity.
Parezja – o miejscu ujawniania prawdy w polityce
Authors: Rudnicki Cezary
Published: May 2020

The purpose of this article is to analyse the relationship – conceptualised by Michel Foucault – between politics (in the sense of a political game, governing or applying techniques of power) and truth. Here truth is understood in ontological terms (related to the moment of disclosure, revelation) rather than in linguistic and epistemological terms (related to the act of judgement). By outlining some mutual relations between politics and truth, the author tries to show how politics/power determines truth and how truth affects politics. He is particularly interested in parrhesia, which is a form of truth that has emancipatory or even revolutionary potential, i.e. it introduces a difference into the relations of power functioning at a given moment.
Russian Neo-Eurasian Geopolitics as a Total Ideology on the Example of Aleksandr Dugin’s Concept
Authors: Świder Konrad
Published: May 2020

The purpose of this article is to outline the geopolitical concepts of Aleksandr Dugin, the guru of Russian Eurasian geopolitics as a total ideology. After the collapse of the USSR, there was a rapid renaissance of geopolitics in Russia, which was an ideological attempt to rationalise the role and place of the post-Soviet Russian state in the post-Cold War international system. The dynamic development of geopolitics in Russia was also a way for the Russians to overcome the post-imperial trauma and the post-Soviet identity crisis. Geopolitics was to define the global aspirations and goals of the Russian Federation, being the quintessence of postmodern Russian messianism and setting a new historical mission for this state. One of several geopolitical trends in Russia was neo-Eurasianism, whose main ideologist was Aleksandr Dugin. The Russian geopolitician has proceeded to formulate a total ideology based on geopolitics for Russia, which is to constitute an intellectually and conceptually attractive synthesis of all the universalist ideologies practised in this country throughout history. Dugin tries to integrate geopolitics with the metaphysics and philosophy of being, transforming it into a kind of ideocratic sacrum and ideological signpost for the contemporary Russian state.
Contemporary Liberal Concepts of Property
Authors: Juruś Dariusz
Published: May 2020

The author presents the assumptions which form the bedrock of modern liberal property theories. It refers to the conceptions of John Christman, James O. Grunebaum, Lawrence Becker, Stephen R. Munzer and Jeremy Waldron. All these philosophers have devoted separate monographs to the problems of ownership and their works seem representative of the entire liberal current in contemporary political philosophy. This paper does not provide a detailed analysis of the authors’ views on property, but focuses on the elements that these theories share. These are: (1) the bundle theory of property rights; (2) the priority of distributive justice over ownership; (3) the belief that labour is not a property entitlement; (4) the assumption about the separation of production and distribution; (e) the belief in the redistributive role of the state.
Sędziowie a demokracja. Spór o „władzę czuwania"
Authors: Jędrczak Stanisław
Published: May 2020

The article has two purposes: the argumentative one, which is to present the problem of the authority of judges in democracy, and the argumentative and historical one, which is to outline Bogusław Wolniewicz’s philosophy of politics. The theoretical approach to the title issue has become a necessity after the Polish constitutional crisis, which questioned the so-called myth of the non-political character of judicature in 2015. In the on-going discussion, opposite positions have been formulated. They can be referred to as relativism and objectivism (the latter proclaims judicial apoliticality in the personal, jurisprudential and ideological sense). Advocating the legal relativism, I aim to bring out the roots of objectivism that lead us to the Roussonian democratism (contrasted with the Jeffersonian one).
Mechanizmy indonezyjskiej zbrodni z 1965 r. w świetle najnowszych ustaleń
Authors: Głąb Katarzyna Marta
Published: May 2020

The article aims to analyse the mechanisms of Indonesian mass killings between 1965 and 1966 in light of the latest reports. The author refers to the most recent academic research, as well as the verdict announced in 2016 by the International People’s Tribunal in the Hague on the 1965 Crimes against Humanity in Indonesia (IPT 1965).Available sources confirm the thesis advanced by the researchers of the Indonesian political upheaval since the early 1980s that mass violence in the archipelago should be understood as a crime against humanity carried out by the military in an organised manner, with a declared intent to annihilate the main political rival, the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI).The author focuses on the issues of the organisation and morphology of violence, its ethnic dimension, as well as the problem of the international and internal negation of genocide in Indonesia, and the related issues of transitional justice.
An outline of the situation of education of the Mongol minority in the People’s Republic of China after 1978
Authors: Golik Katarzyna
Published: May 2020

The education of national minorities in the People’s Republic of China is not a monolithic system, but an extensive network of institutions with varied curricula. China’s territorial diversity can be closely linked to different conditions for the development of education, including the minority segment. Additionally, owing to the great diversity of ethnic groups and their political self-organization, it is difficult to comprehensively explore this system in its full complexity. However, this is not properly reflected in the scholarly literature, perhaps because its analysis is in fact possible on a fragmentary basis and during field research. This study is an attempt to fill the gap in research on minority education in China by indicating that, especially in the case of the promoted bilingual education, but also of other education models, there are differences in the praxis of their implementation. This paper presents selected determinants for these processes.
Political Responses to the Extreme Right in Poland. Motivations and Constraints for Collaboration in the Executive Arena
Authors: Moroska-Bonkiewicz Aleksandra
Published: May 2020

The aim of the article is to indicate potential causes for formation of a government coalition with the extreme right-wing League of Polish Families (LPR) in Poland in 2006. The aim is to determine the motivation of the right-wing mainstream Law and Justice party to cooperate with LPR, but also to indicate potential reasons why the coalition was not concluded until nine months after the elections. The goal is therefore to highlight potential constraints in the formation of the coalition. The analysis uses theories of coalition formation based on the rational choice paradigm (office, policy and vote) combined with an empirical approach to coalition research, with particular emphasis on factors such as the structure of competition in the party system and the internal dynamics of parties. The starting point for this analysis is the result of research on the causes of cabinet collaboration with the extreme right in Western Europe. The aim is to indicate whether the motivations for forming a coalition with the extreme right in Poland are based on similar premises and mechanisms. The analysis combines the deductive approach resulting from the theory of coalition formation with the inductive analysis of facts and factors that accompanied the formation of the coalition. In order to achieve the assumed goals, the article uses quantitative and qualitative methods and systemic analysis.
DETERMINAN KINERJA KEUANGAN PERBANKAN SYARIAH PERIODE 2014-2018
Authors: Pangesti Kinanti Pradita , Sutanto Himawan Arif
Published: May 2020

The increasing trend in the halal industry is one of the growth factors of sharia banking, but the increase in sharia banking growth is also accompanied by an increase in financing issued by sharia banks that can affect the financial performance of sharia banks. The high risk of financing and the weak fulfillment of the quality of Islamic bank human resources resulted in the performance of Islamic banks always below conventional banks. This study aims to determine the effect of intellectual capital, non-performance financing, Islamic social reporting and Islamic performance index on the financial performance of Islamic banking. The data was taken purposively from Islamic banking companies registered with the Financial Services Authority (OJK) for the 2014-2018 period. Multiple linear regression analysis has been used to analyze the data in this study. The results showed that Non-Permofance Financing (NPF) had a negative effect on the financial performance of Islamic Banks. Whereas Intellectual Capital as measured by Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAIC), Islamic Social Reporting, and Islamicity Performance Index has no effect on Islamic bank finance.

Motivational Delegation in Intellectual Production: a Model and its Validation
Authors: Dolgaya A. A.
Published: May 2020

The study presents a motivational delegation model and provides its validation with allowance for the results of recent studies in educational psychology, neurobiology, and pedagogy. In this model, delegation is a communication process serving to transform the intrinsic motivation of employees to align it with business goals and objectives.

Aim. This study aims to validate and verify a model of motivational delegation based on studies in neurobiology, psychology, and pedagogy.

Tasks. The authors analyze studies on the subject of motivation in neurobiology, social psychology, and pedagogy, identify factors that explain a motivation model based on internal self-determination, and substantiates an algorithm of communication between the manager and the subordinate during the delegation of business tasks.

Methods. The scientific methodology of the study includes empirical modeling based on the author’s experiments, analyzing and synthesizing information about intrinsic motivation from available sources, evaluating relevance to the tasks, identifying factors affecting motivation, abstracting and modeling a mechanism and algorithm of motivational delegation.

Results. To simplify the understanding of the neurofunctionality of human motivation and modeling of motivation during delegation, the authors introduce the concepts of “want” motivation and “need” motivation. Deep motivational attitudes embedded into the functioning of the amygdala in the form of value orientations can be briefly defined as the “unconscious want”. A positive or negative encoded signal generated by the amygdala that enters different parts of the brain depending on its nature can be referred to as the “conscious want”. The positive “conscious want” activates the prefrontal cortex, i.e. the cognitive and communicative function, while the “conscious don’t want” activates spatial orientation and avoidance motivation. For extrinsic motivation stimuli, the authors introduce the definition of “need”, assuming that the origin of these stimuli is completely extraneous and appears in the prefrontal cortex upon assignment of the delegated task. There are many tools for collaborative goal-setting and team project planning that can activate the “conscious want”. However, if there is a gap between the conscious and the unconscious “want”, there will be no real engagement in the task.

Conclusions. Motivational delegation makes it possible to reliably activate both the emotional part of the employee’s brain, which provides energy for performing the task, and the prefrontal complex, which is responsible for the reasoning, creativity, and logic behind the result and execution of the task. Delegation becomes more complex and can be used efficiently in highly intellectual activities for solving creative and logical tasks.

Authors: Voskresenskaya E. V. , Zernov A. O.
Published: May 2020

The presented study examines the relationship between the tax system and the level of corruption in Russia.

Aim. The study aims to provide a theoretical and methodological substantiation of the relationship and convergence between the tax system and the level of corruption in the Russian economy for the purposes of implementation of Russia’s economic security concept.

Tasks. The authors examine the legislation on taxes and duties of the Russian Federation and the Russian anti-corruption legislation; examine the factors that affect the relationship between the tax system and the level of corruption in Russia and the country’s economic security; identify problems in the mutual influence of the tax system and the level of corruption caused by a low level of legal consciousness and extralegal approaches to the formation of the tax system that disregard theoretical foundations; substantiate recommendations for organizing a system of taxes and duties that would minimize the lobbying of economic and political forces in view of the objective social and public importance of the tax system for the country.

Methods. The methodological basis of this study includes the fundamental provisions of modern economic theory, theory of public administration in taxation, and works on anti-corruption policy. The information basis of the study comprises the regulatory and legal acts of the Russian Federation on taxation and anti-corruption measures, Russian statistics on tax administration, and materials of national programs.

Results. The study substantiates that at the current stage of development of the tax administration system it is possible to determine an objective trend: the Russian tax system has become an objective and substantial prerequisite for active impact of the quasi-legal tax system on the level of corruption, i.e. corrupt practices at the time of the establishment of the corresponding public relations have determined today’s acts of corruption.

Conclusions. There is a close relationship between the tax system and the level of corruption in the country.

A construction project is measured as a process that encompasses numerous activities and a huge amount of information of numerous types that are related to each other. Effective project management entails controlling all aspects of a construction project: quality and quantity of work, costs, and schedules to guarantee the accomplishment of the project. The construction industry in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia is implementing off-site construction with precast cement, for its higher quality, short cycle time, and negligible environmental influence. Amongst the various off-site construction approaches, such construction follows a manufacturing method where houses are built in smaller panels in an assembly line. Owing to the complex and exclusive nature of the home building process, prevailing manufacturing concepts such as automated production planning and control system are not applicable to the panelized home production facility. This research aims in the development and integration of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to for production planning and control system, resulting in improved schedule performance, in Saudi Arabia precast concrete industry. Radio frequency identification is appropriate to numerous construction applications and generates cost savings via increased speed and accuracy of data entry. The study provides a set of helpful protocols for the deployment of passive RFIDs for automated on factory management of precast concrete operations. Further it aims at paving the way for managing the site for the sake of attaining the desired goals considering the guarantee of achieving high quality and quick conveyance to the related sites which, hence, prompts auspicious conveyance of development ventures. The study is beneficial for the construction professionals to assess the prevailing construction quality perception and the expectations from implementation of any quality improvement technique in construction projects.

Since Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) has distributed network structure using wireless links, designing efficient security applications has become a critical need. Selfish nodes are nodes that refuse to forward the data from other nodes. The existence of selfish nodes will disturb the normal process of the network, and reduce the network performance. Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a scheme for detecting any misbehaviors in the network operation by monitoring the traffic flow. Each monitoring node need to execute the IDS module. The common problems encountered by the monitoring nodes are energy depletion, link disconnection, mobility and coverage. Hence the selection of monitoring nodes plays an important role in IDS. This paper develops a technique for deployment and selection of monitoring nodes for detection of selfish attacks. In this technique, the whole network is virtually divided in smaller grid like zones. In each grid, the nodes with higher stability and better coverage are assigned a reward value. A cost metric is derived in terms of energy consumption and computational delay. Then the nodes with minimum cost and high reward are selected as monitoring nodes. By simulation results, it is shown that the proposed technique has reduced detection delay, energy consumption and detection overhead.

A password is a string of alphanumeric elements that is used mainly to authenticate user identity in order to give permission gaining access to the computer resources that should be secured from any unauthorized access. For this reason, password need to be kept secure among different types of attack. One way to increase the security of gaining access to any computer resources is the using of one-time password as a two-factor authentication which is generated for using it only one time. In this paper, we introduced a new method to generate a one-time password that depends on the user identity such as user account name or password and the timestamp. This information is gathered to make a string that will be used to generate a random permutation of a given size. The process of generating random permutation is a one-way hashing method. From the generated random permutation, the one-time password is constructed with a flexibility of having different size as needed.

In this paper, we present a new decentralized H∞ control for interconnected systems, the interconnected system consists of several subsystems. The proposed approach based on Lyapunov functional and a H∞ criterion, employed to reduce the effect of interconnections between subsystems. In the first, we study the stability of the global system in closed loop using a criterion H∞, the stability conditions are presented in terms of LMI. In the second, to improve this approach, a Finsler’s lemma is used for the stability analysis by LMIs. Some sufficient conditions, ensuring all the closed-loop stability are supplied in terms of Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs), and the new feedback gain matrix of each local controller is obtained by solving the LMIs. Finally, the practice examples are given to illustrate the efficiency of the present method.

Due to extensive needs for growth in various sectors, which include software, telecom, healthcare, defence, etc., there is a necessary increase in the number as well as the duration of meetings, conference calls, reconnaissance stakeouts, financial reviews. The obtained reports of these play a significant role in defining the plan of actions. The proposed model is to convert real-time speech to corresponding text and then to its respective summary using Natural Language Grammar (NLG) and Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR) graphs and then again turned back the obtained summary to speech. The proposed model intends to achieve the task using two major algorithms, 1) Deep Speech 2, 2) AMR graphs. The speech-recognition model recommended has a speedup of 4x if the algorithm runs on a Central Processing Unit (CPU), and the use of particular Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) for running deep learning algorithms can give a speedup of 21x. The performance of the summarizer used is close to the Lead-3-AMR-Baseline model, which is a solid baseline for the CNN/Dailymail dataset. The summarizer we use scores ROGUE score close to the Lead-3- AMR-Baseline model with an accuracy of 99.37%.

Abstract: On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed COVID-19 a pandemic, in response to the more than 1,00,000 confirmed cases globally in more than 100 countries, and the persistent threat of spreading further. Presently, there is no medicine to cure or vaccine to prevent the spread of COVID 19. The only way to curb its menace is taking precautionary measures as advised by Health experts. Social distancing i.e. maintaining a minimum distance of 1-1.5 meter between two individuals is one of the proactive measures advised by WHO. In this paper, an ATMEGA (open source) based Smart wearable device “Manav Rakshak” is proposed. It can be worn while travelling outside home and will help in maintaining the social distancing thereby curb the spread of COVID-19.

Agriculture plays vital role in every individual’s life. As the technology improves, agricultural sector has been improving by the needs of people. Basically, the idea here deals with monitoring of weather, temperature, soil moisture and other agriculture related aspects. The objective of this paper is to upgrade -growth probability. So by making use of Advance technologies good and efficient crop can be yield. Cloud (Firebase) is typically used to store the pre-computed data (data sets) and the data from the efficiency of agriculture sector. This idea comprises of Machine Learning techniques, Cloud Computation [5] and IoT. Here we will use machine learning techniques for predicting crop sensors and comparison between these. IoT includes NPK sensors, temperature sensor, and humidity sensor. The mechanism goes like this- initially the data from humidity, temperature sensor will be noted and NPK sensors will be placed in the soil, the values from the sensors will be sent to cloud by making use of any communication technology (ZigBee, IoT gateway devices). In cloud comparison of pre-computed data and data from sensors happens by making use of machine learning. The outcome from cloud may be stored in the server (Admin) or directly be notified to authorized person of the land in the form for notification. By taking all these parameters into consideration, we can predict the best suitable crop that can be grown and farmers will earn profit in a cost-effective manner.
