A Survey on Early Detection and Classification of Alzheimer’s Disease Using Machine Learning and Deep Learning Techniques
Authors: - Rashmi V , - Sankhya N Nayak
Published: September 2024

Alzheimer’s disease is a disease that is caused due to depositions of protein around the brain cells. These depositions will distort the regular working of the brain, slowly making the patient unable to think, talk or even do regular chores. People of age more than 60 are prone to Alzheimer’s. This disease has several stages which finally leads to dementia. In this regard, early detection of Alzheimer’s can help doctors to properly treat and to delay the further protein depositions in the brain. In order to do so, many machine learning and deep learning techniques have been employed, out of which linear regression, decision trees, CNN and support vector machine are some of them to name. This paper provides a detailed review on dissimilar works proposed by different authors and also discusses the performance analysis of each proposed model.

Authors: - Saba khatoon , - Shruti kabra
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT:
Introduction: The menstrual cycle is an important indicator of women's reproductive health consisting of various events such as physical symptoms, behavioral, and emotional symptoms prior or during menstrual cycle. Menstruation marks the shedding of the uterine lining when pregnancy does not occur, and this cycle is an important indicator of women’s reproductive health.Menstrual cramps, or dysmenorrhea, are a common symptom associated with the menstrual cycle, characterized by painful menstruation that can affect daily life. Primary dysmenorrhea typically begins during adolescence and may decrease with age.
Aim :The aim of this study was to study the nutritional status and dietary patterns during menstrual cycle among the study subjects.
Methodology: This descriptive study was conducted among young adult female students of age 18- 24 years old of Telangana Mahila Viswavidyalayam, Hyderabad, Telangana. The size of the sample was 100. The data was collected by using offline and online questionnaire. A pilot study was done and changes were made in questionnaires. The methods used in this study included a detailed questionnaire. Data was analyzed by using frequency distribution and chi-square test.

Authors: - Moumita Saha Roy
Published: September 2024

Today’s children are the citizens of tomorrow and their adequate growth is the topmost priority of the nation. The problem of child labor is a major concern in India. Child labor is a complex problem whose mother is in poverty. It has been observed that poverty forces poor families to send their children to work, which results in a serious problem the world is facing nowadays. Children face many problems that may cause permanent damage to their childhood. They usually work to contribute and provide financial support to their families. For several decades in India, laws have existed to regulate and control child labor. The main concern of the legislation was to regulate working hours for children, to prescribe the lowest age limit for working children, to ensure the life, health of the child workers, and to limit the employment of children in hazardous work.
In this paper, I have made a comprehensive discussion about child labor; I also have given state-wise details of child laborers in India. I intend to give the causes in which child labor increases, its effects and the various challenges arising due to this particular problem have been described in detail. I mentioned various industry’s current conditions where children are engaging, especially girl children. The efforts being made by the government to solve this serious social problem through various laws, and rehabilitation policies are also mentioned in detail. In the end, I conclude that the possible and innovative suggestions are found to be capable of overcoming the challenges that have arisen due to child labor.

Traffic Management in India Using YOLOv9 for Emergency and Regular Vehicle Detection
Authors: - Srishti Singh , - Saideep Kilaru , - Pavitra Ravisankar , - S Thribhuvan Gupta
Published: September 2024

India's urban centers like Bangalore and Hyderabad are losing billions of dollars to traffic congestion, causing crippling delays for ambulances carrying heart attacks or accident victims. This model is trained with specific hyperparameters to get the best performance, and then it is validated with accuracy, precision, and recall metrics as well as IoU (Intersection over Union).
The paper introduces a system to detect emergency vehicles like ambulances, police vehicles, etc in traffic using the India Driving Dataset (IDD), Indian Vehicle Dataset and YOLOv9t model experiencing congestion in Indian urbanizing cities which is designed for both single frame detection of bounding boxes at test-time and hard example mining within each iteration. The model was trained and validated on an 80–20 split with mAP value of 0.765 and precision of 0.852 making it suitable for assisting dynamic traffic signal timing adjustments based on the presence, location, or direction of travel by emergency vehicles. This enhances efficiency, productivity, and a greater system to reduce emergency response times reduces traffic-congestion. In ongoing work, we aim to further tune the system for a wider set of traffic conditions and integrate it with existing citywide infrastructure. These results illustrate the model's high accuracy and practical use, showing how emergency response time may be improved greatly with a much lower source of traffic congestion on roads. The economic implications of the system are also further reinforced, as lower congestion can help raise productivity and efficiency.

The futurism is an innovative design approach in art and architecture emerged at the beginning of 20th Century which is linked with science and new environmental/architectural technologies. Futurism was first discussed by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti in 1909 with a manifesto. Then, Antonio Sant'Elia carried futurism to urban scale by La Citta Nuova aiming to create a sustainable city for the benefit of humanity. The main characteristics of futurism are the dynamism and movement in design, speed, motion, dynamic structures built in modern cities by the use of technology and science. Afterward, futurism was redefined and gained further properties integrated the space age and new development in environmental and building technologies with dynamic and amazing forms, materials and high-tech architecture as well as urban and landscape design approaches. In this study, futurism was identified as a design trend and its developments throughout history was set. Then, the reflection of futurism in urban and landscape design was discussed and at the final stage an experimental futuristic landscape park design was offered after survey and site analysis studies for the selected area near Mogan Lake in Ankara. In the evaluation phase the 'weighted overlay' method was used by using ArcGIS software with reference to the suitability analysis studies. Then, the area was designed with an energy-efficient approach having solar and wind panels, urban furniture powered by solar and wind energy, and solar-powered roads at various levels and suitable locations in the urban park area according to the results of the analysis studies. Besides land use, hardscape and plantation design were all conducted due to the principles of the futuristic landscape design phenomenon.

Deepening the decisional processes under value-based conditions in patients affected by Parkinson’s disease: A comparative study
Authors: Colautti Laura , Iannello Paola , Silveri Maria Caterina , Giovagnoli Anna Rita , Elia Antonio Emanuele , Pepe Fulvio , Magni Eugenio , Antonietti Alessandro
Published: September 2024

Patients affected by Parkinson’s disease (PD) display a tendency toward making risky choices in value-based conditions. Possible causes may encompass the pathophysiologic characteristics of PD that affect neural structures pivotal for decision making (DM) and the dopaminergic medications that may bias choices. Nevertheless, excluding patients with concurrent impulse control disorders, results are few and mixed. Conversely, other factors, such as individual differences (e.g., emotional state, impulsivity, consideration for future consequences) and cognitive functioning, in particular executive functions (EFs), are involved, even though few studies investigated their possible role. The present study investigated (1) the differences in value-based DM between 33 patients with PD without impulse control disorders and 33 matched healthy controls, and (2) the relationships among decisional performances, EFs, and individual differences in a group of 42 patients with PD who regularly undertake dopaminergic medications. All participants underwent an individual assessment to investigate value-based DM, cognitive abilities, and individual differences associated with DM. Nonparametric analyses showed the presence of riskier decisions in patients compared with healthy controls, depending on the characteristics of the decisional situation. Moreover, parameters of the decisional tasks involving the number of risky choices were significantly related to the posology of dopaminergic medications, EFs, and individual differences. Findings were discussed, highlighting possible clinical implications.

The article presents the results of an archaeozoological analysis of osteological collections obtained from two Eneolithic sites located on the western shore of the Kandalaksha Bay. The aim of the study is to obtain data on the strategy of hunting seals in the northwestern part of the White Sea coast in the Eneolithic. The research results demonstrate the high importance of the ringed seal and the Greenland seal in hunting prey among the inhabitants of the studied sites. The vast majority of the stone tools found at the sites are associated with the fishing of marine animals: tips of throwing weapons made of slate and flint; angular slate knives, apparently for skinning; quartzite hammers with grooves (for binding to the handle), most likely for killing young pinnipeds. Seals were the main suppliers of meat, skin and fat for the inhabitants of the Eneolithic sites of the Northern White Sea.
Improved deconvolution of natural products’ protein targets using diagnostic ions from chemical proteomics linkers
Authors: Wiest Andreas , Kielkowski Pavel
Published: September 2024

Identification of interactions between proteins and natural products or similar active small molecules is crucial for understanding of their mechanism of action on a molecular level. To search elusive, often labile, and low-abundant conjugates between proteins and active compounds, chemical proteomics introduces a feasible strategy that allows to enrich and detect these conjugates. Recent advances in mass spectrometry techniques and search algorithms provide unprecedented depth of proteome coverage and the possibility to detect desired modified peptides with high sensitivity. The chemical ‘linker’ connecting an active compound–protein conjugate with a detection tag is the critical component of all chemical proteomic workflows. In this review, we discuss the properties and applications of different chemical proteomics linkers with special focus on their fragmentation releasing diagnostic ions and how these may improve the confidence in identified active compound–peptide conjugates. The application of advanced search options improves the identification rates and may help to identify otherwise difficult to find interactions between active compounds and proteins, which may result from unperturbed conditions, and thus are of high physiological relevance.

Attribute-driven fuzzy fault tree model for adaptive lubricant failure diagnosis
Authors: Wang Shuo , Chang Yishi , Wu Tonghai , Han Zhidong , Lei Yaguo
Published: September 2024

Lubricant diagnosis serves as a crucial accordance for condition-based maintenance (CBM) involving oil changing and wear examination of critical parts in equipment. However, the accuracy of traditional end-to-end diagnosis models is often limited by the inconsistency and random fluctuations in multiple monitoring indicators. To address this, an attribute-driven adaptive diagnosis method is developed, involving three attributes: physico-chemical, contamination, and wear. Correspondingly, a fuzzy fault tree (termed FFT) based model is constructed containing the logic correlations from monitoring indicators to attributes and to lubricant failures. In particular, inference rules are integrated to mitigate conflicts arising from the reverse degradation of multiple indicators. With this model, the lubricant conditions can be accurately assessed through rule-based reasoning. Furthermore, to enhance its intelligence, the model is dynamically optimized with lubricant analysis knowledge and monitoring data. For verification, the developed model is tested with lubricant samples from both the fatigue experiment and actual aero-engines. Fatigue experiments reveal that the proposed model can improve the lubricant diagnosis accuracy from 73.4% to 92.6% compared with the existing methods. While for the engine lubricant test, a high accuracy of 90% was achieved.

Evaluation of Stability and Stress Distribution on Plate and Bone for Correction of Anterior Open Bite with Le Fort I Osteotomy: New Plate Design
Authors: Kundakçıoğlu Abdulsamet , Apaydın Ayşegül
Published: September 2024

Aim: Many different fixation methods have been proposed in the literature for the treatment of open bite. Beginning with the use of plates and screws, rigid fixation methods have become commonplace, however, open bite is a disorder prone to relapse despite rigid fixation. In our study, we aimed to eliminate the need for guided split usage during surgery and to increase postoperative stabilization in open bite patients with a new personalized plate design.
Material and Method: For this purpose, a three-dimensional (3D) head model was created in the virtual environment. After the Le Fort I osteotomy on the model, the inferior segment of the maxilla was placed 1 cm forward and positioned to leave a space between the inferior and superior part of the maxilla. Different fixation methods were applied to fix the bone segments. In the first group, four plates with a thickness of 0.8 mm were fixed. In the other groups, we used three different thicknesses (0.4 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.8 mm) of the continuous plate we designed. The amount of movement and tension that occurred on the bone segments, plates, and screws were evaluated.
Results: The maximum movement in the study was observed with the standard 4-plate fixation method, and the minimum movement was observed with the custom plate system with 11-screw type with a thickness of 0.8 mm. As a result, it has been found that the custom-made continuous plates provide a more rigid fixation than the standard plates.
Conclusion: It may be possible to reduce the likelihood of a relapse problem by designing a plate with the appropriate thickness and form to spread the stress on the bone over a wider area.

Determinants of Parental Satisfaction with Rehabilitation Service Delivery to Children with Childhood-Onset Physical Disabilities: A Turkish Sample
Authors: Bingöl Hasan , Yıldız Nazım Tolgahan , Kocaman Hikmet
Published: September 2024

Aim: Studies have demonstrated that family centeredness, or family involvement in decision-making and care provision, is crucial for achieving the best results in pediatric rehabilitation and is also directly associated to parental/caregiver satisfaction with rehabilitation services. This study aimed to explore the potential determinants of parents’/caregivers’ satisfaction with rehabilitation services based on the various elements of family centeredness.
Material and Method: Authors included the parents/caregivers of 120 children with physical disabilities aged 5-18 years (mean 10.14 years, SD 4.17). The Measure Process of Care-20 (MPOC-20) was used to assess parents'/caregivers' perceptions of the family centeredness in provision of rehabilitation services and therefore parental/caregiver satisfaction with rehabilitation service delivery to children.
Results: Service-related and child-related factors accounted for 78% and 67% of the variances in the parents’/caregivers’ satisfaction with being provided opportunities for them to make decisions about rehabilitation services (MPOC-20-Enabling and Partnership subscale), respectively. Parental/caregiver satisfaction with service delivery in the context of sharing information about child’s progress was correlated with service-related, child-related, and parent/caregiver-related factors (adjusted R2=0.75, 0.71, and 0.68, respectively). Satisfaction with service delivery regarding coordinated and comprehensive care was significantly influenced by the service provider and the parent/caregiver-related variables (R2=0.63 and R2=0.59, respectively). Finally, in the event of satisfaction with services in terms of respectful and supportive care, each factor accounted for a small and approximately equal amount of variance in the mean score of relevant MPOC-20 subdomain (range of adjusted R2=0.10–0.18).
Conclusion: Factors or determinants identified in the current study as having the potential to increase parents’/caregivers’ satisfaction with rehabilitation services should be considered when providing rehabilitation services.

Published: September 2024

Aim: The risks to public health of radiofrequency signals emitted by mobile phones, an indispensable part of our daily lives, have begun to be questioned. For this reason, the magnetic field created by a third-generation mobile phone was applied to the embryos obtained by in vitro embryo culture technique during the organogenesis period of the rat embryo and its effect on development was examined.
Material and Method: In our study, 20 adult female rats weighing between 200-300 g and 30 male Wistar albino rats weighing over 300 g were used. The developmental morphology of embryos from the control and experimental groups exposed to magnetic fields for different periods (24 hours, 48 hours) was evaluated.
Results: When the morphological score, yolk sac diameter, crown-rump length and number of somites of embryos exposed to magnetic fields for different periods were compared, the experimental groups regressed compared to the control group.
Conclusion: As a result, it was shown that developmental delays and deformities may occur in embryos depending on the duration of exposure to the magnetic field.
