Authors:   Postgraduate student, Department of Public Health Dentistry, SRM dental college, Ramapuram, Chennai, India, P Suganya
Published: September 2022

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the burden of income tax and health care inequalities in India. Materials and Method: The data retrieved from various electronic databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, Cochrane library and other sources regarding individual income tax, allocation of GDP for health sector and the out-of-pocket expenditure of the public for the health sector among top ten GDP countries. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis. Results: Though India ranks the fifth place in GDP, it spends only 1.4% of GDP on the health sector, which was very low when compared to top GDP countries, so the public spends more out of pocket for the health sector (67.78%), which forcibly pushes them into poverty. Conclusion: The Government should make more effort and should allot more amount of GDP for the health sector in future for the beneficiaries of people.

Published: September 2022

The goal is to look at how language helps people from different cultures get along. Language is an important part of how people interact with each other because it is the most basic way to share ideas and information. Language is a reflection of culture, so when people from more than one culture live together, how they use language is more important and complicated. The is also going to be one of the goals that is reviewed How the use of different languages creates barriers in cross-cultural communities and how these barriers affect the bonds that are made in cross-cultural communities. In the field of development, the question of what role language plays in communities with many different cultures is becoming more and more important. The world-wide study of both literature and social studies. As Cross-cultural communication brings together the seemingly unrelated fields of cultural anthropology and communication. Its goal is to bridge the gap between these two fields. Cross-cultural communication is based on being able to understand the different ways that people from different cultures interact with each other. In addition, it is supposed to come up with some recommendations that can help people from different cultures communicate better with each other. As a society's cultural practices and linguistic patterns shape the way people think, act, and communicate with the outside world, they also shape the way people think, act, and communicate with each other.

Authors: Mathurin Youfegan-Baanam , Prah James Kojo , Akoto Yaw Osei
Published: September 2022

Purpose: Destructive eye surgeries have been described as necessary evils. Even though they are important and sometimes life-saving, their psychological impacts on the patients are many. This study sought to determine the prevalence and main indications of evisceration in Our Lady of Grace Hospital in the Asikuma–Odoben-Brakwa District of the Central Region of Ghana.

Methodology: The mixed method study design was used. A five-year review of all cases of eviscerations from 2012-1016, was conducted. Also, in-depth interviews of 9 patients purposively selected, who had undergone eviscerations during the period under review were conducted. Data analysis was largely descriptive.

Result: Out of a total of 2996 ocular surgeries conducted within the 5-year period, 101 were eviscerations. This gives a 5-year prevalence of 3.4 per 100 surgeries. Out of the 101 cases of eviscerations, 81 were included in the analysis due to the availability of complete data. The mean age of patients was 50 years (SD 1.53). The majority of patients who underwent eviscerations were 60 years and more. Right (51%) and left (49%) eyes were eviscerated in nearly equal proportion. The occupations of the majority of patients were farmers/fisherfolks (55.6%) and trading (19.8%). Most (76.5%) eviscerations were due to non-trauma-related causes mainly infections (55.6%). The trauma-related indications for evisceration (23.4%) were stick/vegetative materials, stone/particles, and assault.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: Eye infections and injuries which are largely preventable were the main causes of eviscerations in this study. Public education to encourage early reporting is needed. The aged should be discouraged from engaging in unprotected manual farm-related activities.

Published: September 2022

This study was conducted to fortify low-fat chicken meatballs with dried carrot pomace as dietary fibre (DF) source and to assess the physicochemical and sensory properties. Carrot pomace was dried and made into powder. Emulsion-based low-fat chicken meatballs were prepared with the addition of carrot pomace powder (CPP) at levels of 1%, 2%, and 3%, over and above the amount of meat along with a control. In the physicochemical properties, there was no significant difference in the emulsion pH, product pH, and emulsion stability among the treatments. Product yield significantly (p≤0.01) increased with the addition of CPP at 2% and 3%. In sensory evaluation, the appearance score was significantly (p≤0.01) lowest for the 3% level. Juiciness, texture, and tenderness scores decreased with the addition of CPP where 3% level had the lowest scores. The flavour and overall acceptability scores significantly (p≤0.01) decreased with the addition of CPP where 1% and 2% had scores more the ‘moderately acceptable’ level and 3% had the lowest score which was only ‘slightly acceptable’. It is concluded that emulsion-based low-fat chicken meatballs could be fortified with dietary fibre content by the inclusion of carrot pomace powder up to a level of 2% without significantly affecting the sensory qualities.

Parasites causes the economic wealth loss of any country and also the health of the animals the parasites are of two types viz. ecto and endo parasites. In ectoparasites ticks and lice are major while in endoparasites mites are included. Considering all these facts present investigation has been planned. This study evaluated the haematological and biochemical response of ticks captured in two different environmental reared goats such as organized and farmer flocks. The experimentally infected goats showed lower Hb, PCV, TEC, Neutrophil and MCHC values in the first three weeks of study but naturally infested groups showed higher values than the experimentally infected groups. Biochemical parameters viz. total protein and globulin were found higher a day 21 in experimental lice infected goats but albumin, A/G ratio, glucose, bilirubin and AST were considerably lower during 7 and day 21 in the experimental group when compared to naturally infected goats. There was no alteration in total protein, globulin, bilirubin and ALT between experimental and natural lice- infected goats but the A/G ratio was significantly higher in experimental lice infested goats. Anemia in lice-infested goats and attribute it to prolonged blood looses and loss of essential nutrients and oxidative stress which induce RBC damage and anemia. It is due to oxidative stress and biotransformation.

Published: September 2022

Introduction and Aim:  Medicinal plants are widely used in traditional medicine to cure various infectious diseases in human. The medicinal herbs like Onosma hispidium and Alcea rosea have been traditionally used for the variety of clinical disorders like jaundice, Diabetes, malaria, rheumatism and have been used as laxative, anthelmintic, disorder of blood, disease of eyes, bronchitis, abdominal pain, antibacterial and as wound healer. The present study was undertaken to investigate the antibacterial potential of aqueous, ethyl acetate and methanolic extracts of Onosma hispidium and Alcea rosea, a traditionally used medicinal plants with multiple therapeutic properties.
Materials and Methods: The susceptibility of microbial strains to the plant extracts was determined using agar well diffusion method. The bacterial strains employed were Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris and Escherichia coli. Phytochemical screening was performed using standard methods.
Results: A dose dependent increase in the antibacterial activity was observed with both the methanol, ethyl acetate and aqueous extracts. Among the plants screened, in Onosma hispidium the highest antibacterial activity was exhibited by aqueous extract with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (25±1.88) followed by Staphylococcus aureus (22 ± 0.22 mm) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (20.21±1.01) at the concentration of 100 mg/ml respectively. while in case of  Alcea rosea, the ethyl acetate extract exhibited the highest antibacterial activity with Escherichia coli (28±1.56) followed by Staphylococcus aureus (25 ± 01.58 mm) Klebsiella pneumoniae (18±0.74) and Proteus vulgaris (13±0.12) at the concentration of 100 mg/ml respectively. Phytochemical analysis revealed the plants are rich in various secondary metabolites like alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, phenols, terpenoids and volatile oils.
Conclusion: The plants contain novel compounds with broad spectrum antibacterial properties. The isolation and characterization of these novel compounds could lead to the development of effective therapeutic antimicrobials to fight pathogenic infections.

Published: September 2022

Introduction and Aim: Women are prone to massive stretching on the abdomen at postpartum period. Hence, the need for the study is to determine the prevalence of diastasis recti abdominis at postpartum period. The aim of the study is to increase the abdominal strength among postpartum women with DRAM (Diastasis Recti Abdominis Muscle) by abdominal and pelvic floor exercise along with Kinesiotaping (KT).
Methodology: A total of 50 subjects with diastasis recti were selected based on selection criteria, divided into two groups – group A with 25 subjects who have undergone Normal Vaginal Delivery (NVD) and group B with 25 subjects who have undergone Lower Section Caesarian Section (LSCS). The reason for the review was disclosed to the patient and definite concern was acquired, in view of particular testing technique. Pre-tests were done using Vernier calipers, followed with pre-test intervention procedures started with abdomen exercises (Abdominal tuck-in), SLR (Straight Leg Raise) and pelvic floor exercise (pelvic bridging and Kegel’s exercises). The activities were done for 30minutes each day 2 meetings for a considerable length of time. After the end of treatment, post-test was finished utilizing a similar result measure.In view of the information gathered from every one of the examples, measurable examination was finished. 
Results: On looking at pre and post-test inside group A and group B values, it showed identical distinction between group A and group B. Group A (KT with practice for NVD), showed better improvement. Additionally, group B (KT with practice for LSCS) showed a decent improvement yet not that as group A.
Conclusion: This study concludes that abdominal exercises along with Kinesiotaping among postpartum women undergone NVD had considerable effects in reducing diastasis recti abdominis. It assists with increasing the abs strength and reestablishing post pregnancy stomach productivity.
Urban coherence: a morphological definition
Authors: Çalişkan Olgu , Mashhoodi Bardia
Published: September 2022

Despite being one of the most commonly used normative concepts in urban design, coherence still lacks a firm morphological definition. Without an explicit specification of its spatial attributes, coherence remains a vague and subjective notion of design implicitly referred to as one of the basic properties of good urban form. As a contribution to the link between urban design and morphology, this paper renders the normative concept objectively in terms of a set of quantifiable morphological indicators. Spatial proximity and consistency are suggested as the two key indicators for measuring the coherence of urban fabric. Based on the computational theory of coherence, originally put forward by Thagard, an analytical model is suggested to quantify the morphological coherence of actual urban fabrics. In this framework, three planned neighbourhoods in Rotterdam, the Netherlands are analysed to illustrate the changing nature of morphological coherence through different fashions of urbanism initiated in different periods of time.
Plots, property and behaviour
Authors: Kropf Karl
Published: September 2022

There is a lack of clarity in urban morphology in the use of the terms ‘plot’ and ‘lot’. The complications arise in large part because these terms are used to refer to several things. Further ambiguities arise because the concept of property is not univocal, and the boundaries corresponding to the different meanings of plot do not necessarily coincide. An attendant problem is that distinct aspects of urban form are conflated into a single, ill-defined entity. Given the significance of the plot in building typology and urban morphology, the ambiguities in its definition raise questions about the role of the plot in the generation and transformation of urban form and in particular in the central phenomenon of persistence and the differential rates of change between street pattern, plot pattern and building pattern. The aim of this paper is therefore to clarify the terms plot and lot by examining the pertinent characteristics that are used to define them and the underlying relationships and logic they entail. The resolution offered in conclusion is that the fundamental basis for defining a plot – as property and an element of control – is rooted in human behaviour and our interactions with both our environment and each other. This may then provide a fruitful basis for investigating the phenomenon of persistence in more detail.

Green space in urban morphology: a historico-geographical approach
Authors: Whitehand J.W.R.
Published: September 2022

Despite the large areas occupied by green spaces in most cities, and the increased recognition of their importance, they have received little consideration by urban morphologists. A sizeable proportion of urban green space occurs in fringe belts. Continuous fringe belts have generally originated adjacent to present or former physical limitations on urban growth, most strikingly next to city walls. Discontinuous fringe belts have much more often come into existence during other hiatuses in urban growth, particularly related to slumps in housebuilding. The findings of research on green spaces in both types of belts are considered in this paper. Attention is drawn to the fact that the significance of these belts for planning, particularly in the case of those not related to physical limits on urban growth, has not hitherto been given the attention it merits. The integration of green-space development into historico-geographical thinking is pursued and its value in research and practice is underlined.
Morphological characteristics of green spaces in fortified towns and cities
Authors: Šćitaroci Mladen Obad , Marić Mara
Published: September 2022

This research focuses on morphological aspects of green spaces in 26 fortified European towns and cities. Such spaces are insufficiently acknowledged for the identities they confer and the advantages they provide for inhabitants. They are integral parts of inner urban fringe belts, and they are important both functionally and as attributes of heritage. Important aspects of these green spaces include their place within the system of defences, their various types of past and present utilization, their significance within the urban tissue and the need for their careful conservation.
Standing on the shoulders of giants: a critique of Haslam (2018)
Authors: Slater Terry R.
Published: September 2022

Town-plan analysis has evolved through detailed research in the course of well over half a century. Previous scholarship has provided a carefully defined, nested hierarchical terminology which has served the subject well. In this journal Jeremy Haslam has attempted to introduce a new term. His examples, which are meant to elucidate his new concept of ‘ensemble’ are marked by a failure to understand what large-scale maps do and do not show and a less than careful attitude to documentary sources. This paper provides a critique of Haslam’s paper and suggests that ‘ensemble’, as he defines it, does not add anything to the methodologies and concepts of town-plan analysis.
Towards a socio-ecological spatial morphology: integrating elements of urban morphology and landscape ecology
Authors: Marcus Lars , Pont Meta Berghauser , Barthel Stephan
Published: September 2022

The recent shift towards greater emphasis on biodiversity and urban ecosystems has increased the need for greater understanding of the green areas in cities as ecological environments. However, landscape ecology and urban morphology have yet to be integrated into a joint field. In this paper steps are taken towards developing an integrated socio-ecological urban morphology based on developments in each field. Such a morphology can inform professional practice in urban design. Comparisons of the different objects of description in the two fields are made and their different means of description – notably the patches, corridors and the matrix in landscape ecology, and the streets, plots and buildings in urban morphology. This provides a basis for a joint description in which these elements together form a configuration of patches.
The concept of the morphological region: developments and prospects
Authors: Oliveira Vítor , Yaygin Muzaffer Ali
Published: September 2022

Over recent decades, the historico-geographical approach has been established as one of the main morphological frameworks to describe, explain, and prescribe the physical form of cities and to understand how this form is continuously shaped by different agents and processes over time. Within this approach the concept of morphological region – and the method of morphological regionalization – stands as one of the most important in recognizing the historico-geographical structure of the urban landscape. While the relevance of the concept has been demonstrated in a number of applications in different geographical and cultural settings, this paper identifies and addresses some major challenges that the concept has been facing. In particular, it argues for a stronger linkage between each regionalization and the historico-geographical body of knowledge, for clearer usage of language and terminology in each application to facilitate the shared construction of a more robust method, and for a more explicit and systematic definition of procedural options and steps.
Typo-morphological diversity and urban resilience: a comparative study of three heterogeneous blocks in Brussels
Authors: Le Fort Barbara , De Visscher Jean-Philippe
Published: September 2022

Mixed-use heterogeneous urban fabrics have been shown to be more adaptable to continuous urban change than mono-functional homogeneous ones. More specifically, studies on high street cases have highlighted the positive role of ‘morphological mix’ for maintaining a continuous balance between urban robustness and adaptability, which is a definition of urban resilience. However, the particular linear condition of high streets allows only for a partial analysis of typo-morphological synergies within complex adaptive processes. This paper investigates how typo- morphological diversity (TMD) affects the adaptive process of urban fabrics facing contextual changes in the case of three central heterogeneous urban blocks along the canal in Brussels. These urban blocks are characterized by a high degree of TMD at street, plot and building levels and by significant changes through time in all of these typo-morphological components. A comparative morphogenetic analysis c.1866–2022 reveals that, while undergoing similar contextual changes, the specific spatial configurations of each block have led to different morphological transformations. However, beyond the specificities of each block, the comparative analysis highlights recurrent typo-morphological processes and reveals the particular impact of public space status and design on TMD development and evolution.
Urban industries and the production of space: a typomorphological analysis of the mixed urban fabric around the historical national road Jetsesteenweg in Brussels, Belgium
Authors: Vandyck Frederik , Bertels Inge , Wouters Ine , Ryckewaert Michae
Published: September 2022

From the second half of the twentieth century, industries have moved from locations in urban areas to the monofunctional fringe due to zoning policies and rising real estate prices. More recently, high unemployment rates, lengthy commuting journeys and economic dependability have reoriented the urban planning agenda towards the qualitative retrofit of small-scale production in vital inner-city areas. However, this reveals that designers seem to have ‘forgotten’ how to spatially integrate industries in the city. As large industrial sites have remained in the mixed urban fabric of Brussels, it serves as a useful research object to explore this knowledge gap. This paper aims to retrace the role played by small-scale industries in the morphogenetic and typomorphological development of the city’s historically-important national roads. Hence, historical reconstruction and functional mapping are combined to unravel types of the industrial mix at different scales and through time. Through process typological analyses of the city’s mixed urban fabric, this research explores what can be learned from the logics underlying the path-dependency of urban industries.
Barrio morphology and private space: the social drivers of informal urban settlements in Caracas
Authors: Vigiola Gabriela Quintana
Published: September 2022

Urban morphology has historically been studied through the physical characteristics of a particular space. However, the urban form of a place is also influenced by relationships and social contexts. Therefore, this paper discusses the social processes that drove the construction of private space in informal settlements in Caracas, thus defining the barrio morphology. A qualitative approach was undertaken, including observations, interviews and a photographic survey of a case study area. Interpreting participants’ perspectives and stories of their experiences during their barrio’s development revealed the social processes underpinning the shaping of the barrio. The tense and conflictual relationship between people and the government through evictions led to squatting: solidarity and neighbourly relationships drove the selection of the place and its consolidation, and the barrio became dense through supporting family relationships. The form of the barrio space arises as a reflection of these social processes.
Becoming an urban morphologist: Jeremy W. R. Whitehand
Authors: Conzen Michael P. , Oliveira Vítor
Published: September 2022

This paper examines the origins underlying J. W. R. Whitehand’s emergence as an urban morphologist. Attention is paid to Whitehand’s early years, beginning with his initial life experiences, his BA and PhD theses at the University of Reading, and his innovative way of addressing settlements with a distinctive emphasis on buildings. His professional encounter with M. R. G. Conzen in Newcastle in the early 1960s exposed him to a teaching method in which dialectics and fieldwork played a prominent role, and a research framework rich in descriptive and analytical concepts (exemplified in studies of Whitby, Alnwick and Newcastle) that appealed to his interests and opened numerous possibilities for systematic inquiry. Finally, the paper briefly places in context Whitehand’s more mature years in Glasgow and Birmingham, highlighting his substantive and institutional contributions to the development of urban morphology as a field of knowledge.
The impact of regulations on the typo-morphological transformation of residential buildings in Tehran
Authors: Milani Azadeh Mohajer
Published: September 2022

The typo-morphology of residential buildings in Tehran has changed tremendously from the introduction of the first building and urban regulations in the 1950s. This paper explores the role of these regulations in typo-morphological changes, how the internal arrangement and building form of residential architecture were shaped, and the nature and extent of how the layouts were influenced by building and urban regulations. A morphological and typological analysis of residential buildings was carried out and validated by in-depth interviews. The regulations with the greatest effect on typo-morphological changes include the land subdivision system, the occupancy level code, parking regulations, staircase and elevator requirements and daylight access such as patio spaces. This research also identifies issues for policy-makers to consider in any review of the building and urban regulations and their enforcement in the design process.

Authors:   Corvinus University of Budapest, Hungary, Bago Peter
Published: September 2022

Emergence of the global technology market is under the influence of transnationalization in the context of informatization of the knowledge economy in parallel with the formation of the global market for intellectual property products, which together with the institute of private property will determine the conditions for the generation and implementation of new ideas. The role of the patent system in the international technological exchange in the global harmonization of both direct and indirect regulation of innovation is increasing. The prospects for the global technology market will determine the processes of digitization and automation of the standardized industries and services based on the artificial intelligence, energy efficiency using renewable sources, greening and socialization, especially in pharmacy and medicine. The most common is the business model when demand finds a suitable offer among users rather than commercial agents through an online platform.

Commercial diplomacy, being a specific field of diplomatic activity, involves the use by the state in cooperation with non-state actors of diplomatic channels and instruments, both on a bilateral entrepreneurship basis and on a multilateral basis, to facilitate trade and investment in order to provide national companies with business opportunities, to remove barriers for trade and investment, to increase competitiveness and to develop national economies. It is an integral part of the broader concept of economic diplomacy, pursues purely commercial goals and in this terms includes the notion of trade and investment diplomacy. In its historical development, commercial diplomacy has gone through five stages and today is characterized by growing complexity, interdependence and multi-leveledness, transformation of functions and increase of mobility of commercial diplomats, digitization of activities, devaluation of the monopoly role of the state in international economic relations, institutionalization of business participation in the development of international trade policy, updating of global trade agreements.

Systematic globalization of the world economy caused the necessity of transformation of the world investment market, the imperatives of which are represented by the intensification of financial arrangements, an advance increase of national investment markets, intensive transnationalism, asymmetry of investment activity of world countries, etc. Considerable significance of the innovative line of investment activity in the world countries has been determined through the correlation accounting between the volume of exports of high-technology products and the volume of clean portfolio investments based on the data for 130 countries. We identified 4 country groups: the 1st group is characterized by a strong correlation between the parameters, indicating the highest level of efficiency of portfolio investments in innovation sectors of economy growth; the 2nd group is described by the medium correlation between the parameters, which can result from significant diversification of the investment sources of the development of the economy; the 3rd group is characterized by a lack investment of high-technology industries of the economy, which is a gradual reorientation of countries from the manufacturing-based development strategy through engagement of foreign investments and the need to develop and finance science on other strategies of development, for which the financing of the economy innovation sectors requires lower volumes and is not of great priority; the 4th group is characterized by correction retraction between the volumes of high-technology export and the volumes of clean portfolio investments, which can result from the offshore outsourcing of the economy of these countries.

Social entrepreneurship as an economic phenomenon allows focussing on solving important social problems, creatively combining and implementing social and business approaches to simultaneously achieve a social and economic mission. The result of the effective functioning of social enterprises is the solution of pressing problems of employment, support for socially vulnerable categories of citizens, their adaptation to public life, the provision of social assistance and support for people with disabilities, and then allows for the provision of better and timely social benefits and services to the population under the conditions of acute shortage of budgetary resources. Unlike other types of economic activity, social entrepreneurship harmoniously combines the effective functioning of business structures and improvement of the quality of life of the population.

This paper will discuss the application of statistical modeling to interpret a health system crisis in Sri Lanka caused by Covid-19. A strong focus on the preventive approach and contact tracing, with the utilization of available resources in a rational manner, describes Sri Lanka’s response to the prevention and mitigation of Covid-19. The early contact tracing, pre-emptive quarantining, isolation, and treatment were implemented as a concerted effort. This approach, proven efficient during the early phase of the pandemic, was sustainable until the rapid increase in Covid-19 patients in July 2021, exceeding the health system’s capacity. The country’s Covid-19 situation during the period from 01st of August 2021 to 31st of October 2021 was taken into consideration. Variables used for analysis were: the total number of cases, recovered cases, comorbid and O2 dependent patients, ICU patients, and deaths. The regression model was applied to analyze the data using the EViews 12 (x64) software application. The correlation coefficients of all the independent variables under consideration imply that they have a strong positive relationship with the number of deaths that occurred during the said period.

Visual impairment can cause difficulties in performing daily activities. Unfamiliarity of places, hindrance in known routes, water puddles, pot holes, stray animals, sudden road incidents etc. decreases the confidence and interaction of the Visually Impaired People (VIP) leading to human assistance. We are presenting a human-like autonomous assistant which is in the form of a stick made with technologies such as Computer Vision, NLP, GPS, Deep Learning and Embedded Systems. VIP can communicate with the stick through Chatbot. He can get answers to general questions like weather status, time of the day, what is my location, where is point A, etc. and specific questions like what is in front of me, in which room I am, provide me the navigation from point A to point B etc.. In situations like an obstacle in the path, pot holes, ascending/descending stairs, approaching people etc., our stick will notify the VIP and will give him the clear path also. The stick will come along with a smart phone based application which will help in keeping a track of the location which can be shared with anyone. We have used CNN to make an object detection model which can classify 20 different objects. A day and night classifier is also included to correctly figure out the time of the day. The stick is equipped with a camera, ultrasonic and wet sensors, GPS module with controller. Real time video through camera will be captured and processed by the controller. Then this will evaluate the feed through object detection model. The outcome can be notified to the VIP through Chatbot. This will enable safety, security, control and more independence to the VIPs.

Cloud computing is one of the widely used technology and its use is increasing day by day due to its sharing of services over the internet. The area of concern is its security and privacy issues especially for the smart-phone users. Several security approaches had been introduced to safeguard users from unauthorized access but the security standard with the smart-phone devices are still not up to the mark and uses the typical username and passwords based authentication techniques. This paper is proposing a hybrid authentication approach combining two security modalities i.e. biometric and behavioral keystroke dynamics based user authentication which is designed to provide authentication with the existing username and password along with the biometric and behavioral keystroke dynamics based authentication with the use of biometric fingerprint scanner and keyboard thereby reducing the high cost of additional hardware devices since both are the integral part of the smart-phones these days. This approach will provide a secure access to the smart-phone users for a secure cloud environment efficiently than the existing methods.
