This study examines the perception of culinary economists on letters of recommendation from the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) West Sumatra regarding the prohibition of culinary names that are not in accordance with Islamic law. The type of research used is field research, with exploratory qualitative methods. Sources of data in this study consisted of primary data and secondary data. The findings from this study are that the majority of producers and consumers of culinary businesses do not agree with the recommendation letter from the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) West Sumatra regarding the use of culinary business names and do not even care about the letter, because they consider the recommendation letter from the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) at the West Sumatra level. This is not a type of statutory regulation that has binding law.

Published: January 2022

Currently, in the context of the transition to hybrid education, new network forms of communication and interaction of teachers, students as well as specialists are in demand in the framework of personnel training, research and professional activities. The article reveals the main aspects of the integrated network community for training professionals working with youth in the field of educational and youth social policy. Network community can be viewed as an important resource for the development of both the participants themselves and the specific professional sphere. The purpose of the article is to describe the conceptual framework of a professional network community for training personnel for working with youth in the context of social, educational and youth policy and identify the prerequisites for its creation.In the course of the work, we used such methods as structural and functional analysis, system synthesis, modeling and an online survey. The sample comprised university students, faculty members, and youth workers (n = 147) from six federal districts of Russia.The conceptual framework of the professional network community presented on the basis of systemic-synergetic and constructive methodological approaches enables 1) to formulate its idea as a collaboration for personnel training, scientific research, joint projects implementation and self-development of participants; 2) to identify systemic contradictions, the solution of which is directed by the interaction of community members; 3) to determine the axiological basis, purpose, objectives and stages of deployment; 4) to identify the degree of its relevance, the presence of common interests among all its participants on the basis of the results of empirical research that may be useful in the professional network communities design.

Published: January 2022

Increase of complexity and uncertainty as well as demand for personalization (including in education) urges universities to pay attention to educational subjectivity and its development; to transfer towards individual / collective-individual educational navigation and flexible systems of educational programs management (including formation of temporary learning groups, supply of required educational resources in due time, protocols of appraisal and mutual offset of educational results), what determines the relevance of the research. Usage of logistic approach enables to distinguish the pedagogical and management objectives of educational activity organization as well as to facilitate personalization of education. The article considers an educational profile as an instrument of personal educational logistics in digital educational environment, presents the preliminary terms “digital track”, “portfolio”, “profile”. The authors also dwell on the requirements to educational profiles development and scenarios of handling them in digital educational environment taking into account domestic and global experience of educational profiles’ implementation.
IMPROVEMENT OF BIOGAS PRODUCTION IN ANAEROBIC DIGESTION PROCESS
Authors: Chaabna Abdelhani , Semcheddine Samia
Published: January 2022

The production of biogas enables environmental preservation and sustainable development of rural areas and landlocked regions, as well as diversification of renewable energy resources. This paper is a contribution to improving the production of biogas by Sliding Mode Control (SMC).
In the literature there are many models describing the behaviour of reactions during anaerobic digestion and used for control design. The AM2 model is one of the simplest models and can be exploited easily for the control design purposes. In this paper, the reduced model AM2 was exploited to develop and testing by simulations the robust control law SMC.
The results obtained have proved the effectiveness of the control method proposed in this paper. A study of the robustness for monitoring and disturbances rejection demonstrated the great interest of this method, which is a non-linear technique and gives very good results in terms of robustness but it presents the problem of chattering. In practice, the chattering of the control action can cause premature wear of the actuators or parts of the system due to heavy oscillations. The chattering phenomenon is caused by the discontinuous term which appears in the control signal. This paper presents a solution to the chattering problem by replacing the discontinuous term with a continuous one. Different Simulations and comparisons are presented and interpreted with satisfactory results.
PROBLEMS AND PERSPECTIVES IN ORGANIC CULTIVATION OF CEREALS – OVERVIEW
Authors: Chanev Milen
Published: January 2022

In this study, an overview is made and a comparative analysis of articles, reports and materials dealing with organic farming of LWC, in the period 1970 to 2021 is performed. After analysing the literature, the following conclusions are made: Cereals occupy a particularly important place in organic farming, the main advantages of their cultivation are easy farming techniques, relatively easy mechanical weed control, disease control through rational crop rotation, opportunities for biological control of major pests. The soils in organic farming are better structured than those in conventional agriculture. Organic farming practices are related to improving soil properties, including the addition of organic matter to the soil, increasing the population of earthworms, biodiversity, soil fertility and more. Biological management provides a more stable soil structure. The larger pores observed in biological management have a beneficial effect on the physical properties of the soil, such as water flow and water capacity. The greater porosity of the soil provides a good habitat for soil microorganisms. Organic farming contributes to creating a better soil structure. Organic farming systems have traditionally been based on crop rotation. The aim of organic farming is to achieve a balance between crops that reduce soil fertility and crops that restore fertility. Crop rotation is the main tool that integrates the maintenance and development of soil fertility with various aspects of plant production in biological systems. Specialised selection programmes for creating varieties suitable for organic farming are too few due to the small number of users and high costs. The most common practise includes testing the suitability of conventional varieties in biological conditions, propagation and distribution of the best in the biological sector. Sowing norms directly control the sowing density, as well as the nutrient area of each plant. Changing sowing rates is also an excellent method for controlling weeding in biological fields. Concerning yields from organic and conventional agriculture, organic farms are less productive than conventional ones and their productivity is lower. But if environmental variables are taken into account, organic farms show the same or higher efficiency. A major problem facing organic farming in the future is the protection of fields from pollution by genetically modified organisms. An option for protecting biological fields is to maintain a buffer zone between the farm and the neighbouring conventional fields to prevent accidental contamination with GMOs.

An increasing number of researchers support reproducibility by including pointers to and descriptions of datasets, software and methods in their publications. However, scientific articles may be ambiguous, incomplete and difficult to process by automated systems. In this paper we introduce RO-Crate, an open, community-driven, and lightweight approach to packaging research artefacts along with their metadata in a machine readable manner. RO-Crate is based on Schema.org annotations in JSON-LD, aiming to establish best practices to formally describe metadata in an accessible and practical way for their use in a wide variety of situations.

An RO-Crate is a structured archive of all the items that contributed to a research outcome, including their identifiers, provenance, relations and annotations. As a general purpose packaging approach for data and their metadata, RO-Crate is used across multiple areas, including bioinformatics, digital humanities and regulatory sciences. By applying “just enough” Linked Data standards, RO-Crate simplifies the process of making research outputs FAIR while also enhancing research reproducibility.

Creation of an online inventory for choosing critical appraisal tools
Authors: Hong Quan Nha , Bouix-Picasso Julien , Ruchon Christian
Published: January 2022

Critical appraisal of evidence is performed to assess its validity, trustworthiness and usefulness in evidence-based practice. There currently exists a large number and variety of critical appraisal tools (also named risk of bias tools and quality assessment instruments), which makes it challenging to identify and choose an appropriate tool to use. We sought to develop an online inventory to inform librarians, practitioners, graduate students, and researchers about critical appraisal tools. This online inventory was developed from a literature review on critical appraisal tools and is kept up to date using a crowdsourcing collaborative web tool (eSRAP-DIY). To date, 40 tools have been added to the inventory (www.catevaluation.ca), and grouped according to five general categories: (a) quantitative studies, (b) qualitative studies, (c) mixed methods studies, (d) systematic reviews and (e) others. For each tool, a summary is provided with the following information: tool name, study designs, number of items, rating scale, validity, reliability, other information (such as existing websites or previous versions), and main references. Further studies are needed to test and improve the usability of the online inventory, and to find solutions to reduce to monitoring and update workload.
Image binarization method for markers tracking in extreme light conditions
Authors: Ćurković Milan , Ćurković Andrijana , Vučina Damir
Published: January 2022

Image binarization is one of the fundamental methods in image processing and it is mainly used as a preprocessing for other methods in image processing. We present an image binarization method with the primary purpose to find markers such as those used in mobile 3D scanning systems. Handling a mobile 3D scanning system often includes bad conditions such as light reflection and non-uniform illumination. As the basic part of the scanning process, the proposed binarization method successfully overcomes the above problems and does it successfully. Due to the trend of increasing image size and real-time image processing we were able to achieve the required small algorithmic complexity. The paper outlines a comparison with several other methods with a focus on objects with markers including the calibration system plane of the 3D scanning system. Although it is obvious that no binarization algorithm is best for all types of images, we also give the results of the proposed method applied to historical documents.
Burden of Insomnia and Sleep Disturbances and the Impact of Sleep Treatments in Patients with Probable or Possible Alzheimer’s Disease: A Structured Literature Review
Authors: Benca Ruth , Herring W. Joseph , Khandker Rezaul , Qureshi Zaina P.
Published: January 2022

Background: Sleep disturbances are frequent in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Objective: To summarize the impact of sleep disturbances on AD patients and their caregivers and the effects of currently available sleep therapies. Methods: Published studies (January 1985–March 2020) assessing the burden associated with insomnia/sleep disturbances in the AD population and insomnia treatment effects were identified by searching PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library and screened against inclusion criteria. Results: 58 studies assessing patient and caregiver burden, institutionalization, and insomnia treatments in AD patients with sleep disturbances were identified. Sleep disturbances were associated with worse cognition, functional ability, and behavioral and neuropsychological functioning. Health status and quality of life of both patients and caregivers were reduced in the presence of sleep disturbances. Sleep disturbances were also associated with institutionalization. Although significant associations between sleep problems and clinical outcomes were apparent, there was generally no control for other influencing factors (e.g., cognitive status). Bright light and behavioral therapies as well as drugs showed some promise in AD patients, but studies were primarily small and limited data were available, particularly in regard to the effect on associated clinical burden. Conclusion: Sleep disturbances are a significant problem for AD patients and caregivers, associated with behavioral and psychological problems and cognitive decline. However, they remain poorly characterized and under-researched. As the global population is aging and AD is on thes rise, data from larger, prospective trials are required to fully understand the clinical correlates of sleep disturbances and the impact insomnia treatments can have.
COVID-19 pandemic: Changes in the emotions, body weights and nutrition habits of individuals during social intervention measures
Authors: Akkuş Özlem Özpak , Atalay Betül Gülşen , Parlak Eda
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: During the Covid-19 pandemic, the increase in the anxiety levels of individuals is associated with the increase in body weight. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of changes in individuals’ experiences and mood on eating habits and body weights in during social restrictions due to COVID-19. METHODS: The study included 623 adults in Turkey. Demographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements, information about nutritional habits during the pandemic period were questioned via an online survey. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was used to evaluate individuals’ negative perspectives. RESULTS: The rate of patients who experienced body weight changes during the pandemic period was 61.4% (40.2% experienced increase), the mean BDI value was found to be higher in individuals whose body weight increased/decreased compared to those who experienced no change in body weight (p = 0.008, p = 0.02, respectively). Variables that positively affected the BDI scores, which was performed in individuals with increased body weight, main meal numbers (p < 0.03), and change in dried fruit consumption (p = 0.05). The variables that negatively affected the BDI scores were body weight increase (p = 0.05) and changes in cheese consumption. CONCLUSIONS: We found that the changes in the emotional state during COVID-19 had an effect on dietary habits and body weight. There is a need for more comprehensive randomized studies on the interaction between lifestyle changes during the social intervention period due to the Covid-19 epidemic, quality of life, emotional state and eating habits.

Women and the Age-Group System among the Ijebu of Southwestern Nigeria
Authors: Williams Catherine Otutoyin , Ogunkoya Niyi
Published: January 2022

Contemporary studies have revealed that Yoruba women, particularly Ijebu women, have contributed to the development of Yorubaland. Apart from the traditional roles of women in Yorubaland, Ijebu women have cut a niche for themselves in the age-grouping system. It is the intent of this study to estab­lish the contributions of Ijebu women to the upliftment of their society and indeed of the Ijebu nation. This study therefore reveals that women in regberegbe (age group) organizations have contributed immensely to the development of Ijebuland. Just as men in age groups have benefitted, the women's age groups have also enjoyed government patronage, support, and interest. This was demonstrated when the Ogun State government offered employment to some of the age group members. The involvement of these women has shown that Ijebu women are active in the development of Ijebuland through the age-group system and this has further debunked the erroneous public opinion that Ijebu women are party-goers and docile. On the contrary, they are hard-working, so­cial, nationalistic, and community-development oriented.
Rare Objects and the Rhapsodic World of Yoruba Elite Art Collectors: Preliminary Notes
Authors: Adesanya Aderonke Adesola
Published: January 2022

This paper is a preliminary note on the data collected during my research on archives in Nigeria in the summer of 2013. While I examined both public and private archives, I found the private archives particularly those in the cities in southwestern Nigeria to be surprisingly rich in objects that are rare, new, and sometimes with unusual subject matter. The archives belong to notable elite collectors who are the de facto shapers of the art industry in Nigeria today. Their archives are worth art-historlcal study in terms of the richness of the col­lectlon, and because the sites are the contemporary repositories of not only an­clent art but also traditional, modern and contemporary works of art. From the range and volume of the collections, the archives seem to have taken over from the government-owned museums. The shift is very interesting to study as one traces the trajectory of art acquisition and accumulation from pre-modern to modern institutions. The preliminary submission here is that Nigerian elite art collectors are lnterveners and game changers. Their intervention could be seen in two ways: First, as rescuers of disappearing cultures and by the same plat­form they are pivotal to reclamation of cultural patrimony. Secondly, as game changers and transformative agencies the elite collectors become culture bro­kers who work assiduously to stem 'culture flight' and 'heritage drain'. The plat­forms they offer grant them boasting rights as art connoisseurs and promotes the affirmation of elite power within the matrix of a post-colonial nation state.

"The Horse on which Words Ride": Proverbial Narrative in Toyin Falola's A Mouth Sweeter than Salt
Authors: Ohwovoriole Felicia
Published: January 2022

Literature and oral tradition share a symbiotic relationship. Toyin Faiola the author of A Mouth Sweeter than Salt has produced a highly engaging memoir. The text is set in Ibadan, Ode Aje and Ilorin. We find a rich and knowledgeable exploitation of oral forms which the author uses within the frame of the biographical genre. Through the use of proverbial narration, Fa­Iola presents a tale replete with magic, religion, divination, spirituality and various folklore elements. The oral forms Faiola has used in the text come from the oral character of everyday life, prose narratives, songs, proverbs and proverb-like expressions while exploring the themes of innocence, curiosity and growth. This stylistic feature of narration is common in African story telling sessions. In both the traditional and modern context, the African prov­erb fulfils its social and communicative function in various forms. Faiola pres­ents an inseparable relationship of mutual exchange between the oral and written traditions. However, our point of emphasis is to evaluate the context and usage of the proverbial narration with a restriction to proverbs which deal with animals. The qualities attributed to animals in the proverbs and sayings figuratively and metaphorically describe people's appearance, characteristics and deeds.
Yorùbá Coastal Christian Communities: From the Evangelist Band Mission to the Zion and Holy Apostles Communities
Authors: Adéfì Adégbọlá Tolú
Published: January 2022

This article highlights the diversity of African Christianity in the Ìlàjẹ and Ìkále areas of present-day Ondo State, as well as in neighboring communities. It compares the successive religious movements led by E. M. Líjàdú and his Evangelist Band Mission, which represents an African missionary effort of the first generation in the Ikale and Ìlàjẹ areas, and the more recent Zion and Holy Apostles communities that have been established along the coast as independent Christian settlements under local spiritual leaders and kings. The article shows that there are certain similarities and differences between the successive movements. While the different conditions of the periods in which these movements operated, and the different conditions in which these religious activities were organized, matter, both movements offered their converts a new understanding of the world in which existing practices, were re-examined through an engagement with education and ‘modernity’ in a more general sense, and through existing forms of spiritual expression such as music, dance, and dress.

Chief Isaac Oluwole Delano: The Man, His Time, and His Significance
Authors: Falola Toyin
Published: January 2022

Chief Isaac Oluwole Delano was a Nigerian expert in the Yoruba language and culture who was born in the Ifo District of the Abeokuta Province on the 4th of November, 1904.2 He was born to the family of Chief Edmund Delano and Rebecca Delano (both Egba indigenes). His educational exploits started from Holy Trinity Primary School situated at Okenla Christian Village in Ifo. From there, he was moved to Lagos Grammar School under the tutelage of an Anglican Bishop, Solomon Odutola, and his principal, Reverend E. J. Evans. However, situations necessitated his transfer to Kings College in 1921 where he met with his lifetime friends and college mates; Sir Adetokunbo Ademola, Justice N.O.A. Morgan as well as Dr. Oladele Ajose, to mention a few. Having passed his Senior Cambridge Examinations in 1923, Chief Delano proceeded to successfully write his Senior Clerical Examination in 1924, which propelled him to join the civil service in the same year. However, a severe injury sustained from an accident in 1947 led to his invalidation from the civil service. Worthy of note is the fact that he never blended into the civil service bureaucracy, as his principles and religious faith were constantly tested by various practices within the service. His dream to become more lettered was not going to succeed by his involvement with the civil service alone, and he was not positioned in those days to enjoy the privilege of travelling overseas to further his education. He had studied shorthand, and his love for writing by default made him aspire to a lifetime of authoring. While belonging to a number of literary societies, he tried his hand at writing newspaper articles which were generally well-received by the public. He was able to maintain a following from there, and this fueled his desire to write more works for public consumption; he was determined to make his mark in the field of writing. His first work as an author was published in 1937 under the title The Soul of Nigeria. Tis feat gave him his first taste at writing as an occupation, and the happiness that followed suit spurred him to achieve more. Isaac Delano believed that the first one was always going to be the hardest. His first published work had landed him on top of the world, and he was determined not to rest on his oars.

Foreword

 I appreciate the kind of love with which you, my readers, embraced my previous books, whether those I wrote in the English language or in Yoruba. For the record, one important thing I would like to say right here is that all names, be it of towns or of people, that are used in this book are totally fictional. We had no one in mind when this story was being written. The story is purely fictional but based on our various experiences in the Yoruba society.

A closer look at IIsaac Oluwole Delano’s A Dictionary of Yoruba Monosyllabic Verbs
Authors: Falola Toyin , Afolayan Michael Oladejo
Published: January 2022

What follows is a revised version of our introductory segment to Isaac O. Delano’s A Dictionary of Yoruba Monosyllabic Verbs. In it, we provided a historical narrative of the emergence of the dictionary as the main tool for lexicographers. We also attempted to construct the historical assumptions of what could be construed as the value of a dictionary. We spoke to the utility of the dictionary and lamented over its obvious underutilization. We then went ahead to provide the various types of dictionaries and their value as a modern research tool. With the introduction, and having established the significance of a dictionary, we looked specifically at Delano’s pioneering work of the monosyllabic dictionary specifically.

Yorùbá Ethics of Interpersonal Relations in Ọbasá’s Poetry
Authors: Oyewale Ayodele Solomon
Published: January 2022

In the context of Yorùba interrelation, every human being is involved with ́ a clearly defined tradition laced with mutual benefits. The custom of human interpersonal relationship and the challenges thereof are critical issues in modern Yorùbá society. The themes of Yorùbá ethics as related to interpersonal relation are prominent in Obasa ̣’s poetry. In this essay, we identify and ́ analyze the ethical themes in Obasa ̣’s poetry and compare the poet’s engagement with the Yorùbá philosophy with a view to establish their relevance to the contemporary Yorùbá society.

Wolfgang Iser’s (1996) principle on hermeneutics that “(texts) impacts information to the reader vis-a-vis the reader’s experience” is our model for the analysis of this paper (63). The ethical issues in Obasa’s poetry are anchored ́ to three sociocultural Yoruba concepts: communalism, cultural ideology on salutation, and conflict resolution. Tis paper affirms the poet’s rational reflection on the Yorùbá cultural ideology and pragmatic approach to ethical issues. As I argue in the essay, the poet’s perspectives affirm the basis of Yorùba ethical concepts on communalism and how it portrays human beings ́ as social “animals.”
Thematic Preoccupations of D. A. Ọbasá and Ṣóbọ̀ Aróbíodù on Religion and Colonialism
Authors: Alága Ìyábọ̀dé Baliquis , Kíaríbẹ̀ẹ́ Luqman Abísọ́lá
Published: January 2022

The works of D.A. Ọbasá and Ṣóbọ̀ Aróbíodù, the two intelligensias of Yorùbá poetry, have been the focus of earlier scholarly works in Yorùbá, with little attention given to the comparative study of their poetry. Therefore, this essay is a comparative analysis of the two poets’ poems with particular reference to issues relating to religion and colonialism. Our findings reveal that Ṣóbọ̀ Aróbíodù usually comments on issues in a direct manner while Ọbasá comments both directly and indirectly on religious and colonial issues. Also, Ṣóbọ̀ Aróbíodù’s comments on religion are basically to commend Christianity as introduced in Nigeria by the European missionaries, while Ọbasá’s poetry usually satirizes or lampoons Islamic and traditional religions. Generally, Ọbasá’s view is mainly on Yorùbá ideology while religion and colonialism are the primary foci of Ṣóbọ Aróbíodù’s poetry. ̀ Therefore, there is no gainsaying that both poets advocate against religious autocracy. They both believe that colonialism is actually good, but they also argue that it also has a lot of disadvantages, which destroyed Yorùbá cultural heritage. Besides, both poets see colonialism as a movement that brings to the fore African modernization. The essay concludes that Ṣóbọ̀ and Ọbasá are both social poets in the areas of religion and colonialism.

Computational Imaging-Processing Comparison for Lumbar Spine Cadaveric Specimens with Clinical Medical Physics Applications
Authors: Francisco Casesnoves
Published: January 2022

A series of improved imaging-computational and algorithmic methods for new/different lumbar cadaveric specimens was obtained. These are based on previous publications [3,3.1], with an improved-imaging research line. Results show a systematic study of each lumbar cadaveric specimen. Enhanced imaging findings and resolution for vertebral facets/positioning, contrast, anatomical parts separation and visualization of lumbar spines are demonstrated. Medical Physics and clinical bioengineering advances related to previous contributions are proven with imaging processing, programming codes/patterns, and computer vision tools. Findings constitute computational imaging methods which are appropriate for sharp and detailed anatomical-clinical analysis and comparisons among cadaveric specimens. These processing solutions are useful for lumbar spine computational study and anatomical dissection. Applications on Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering, and Computational-Forensic Diagnosis are obtained from this cadaveric imaging systematic comparison and software methods.
Design and Implementation of EFSC Algorithm for Hybrid Representation of Distributed Databases
Authors: D. Sahithi  , Dr. J. Keziya Rani
Published: January 2022

In distributed database management systems, fragmenting base connections increases concurrency and hence system throughput for query processing. User queries use hybrid fragmentation methods focused on vector bindings, and deductive database implementations lack query-access-rule dependence. As a result, for hierarchical deductive information implementations, a hybrid fragmentation solution is used. The method considers the horizontal partition of base relations based on the bindings placed on user requests, then produces vertical fragments of the horizontally partitioned relations, and finally clusters rules based on attribute affinity and query and rule access frequency. The suggested fragmentation approach makes distributed deductive database structures easier to develop.
Data Storage Security in Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) using Improved Blowfish Algorithm
Authors: Seada Abdu Wakene  , Sisay Muleta Hababa  , Gutema Seboka Daba  , K S Ananda Kumar
Published: January 2022

Mobile cloud computing (MCC) combines cloud computing and mobile computing to deliver vast computational resources to mobile consumers, network operators, and cloud computing providers. You may access your data from anywhere in the globe using any mobile device that is linked to the Internet. Cloud computing provides access to data in real-time whenever and wherever want. Any conventional mobile device can benefit from MCC's infrastructure, computational capacity, software, and platform services. Network security, web application security, data access, authentication, authorization, data confidentiality, and data breach are all concerns of MCC's security. Because mobile devices lack sufficient storage and processing power, their data storage capacity is limited. Users of mobile devices may inadvertently provide sensitive information over the network or through the application. Therefore, data security is the main concern for mobile device users. The objective of this paper is to find a solution that can enhance technical requirements with relation to user’s data security and privacy in mobile cloud computing. To achieve this improved blowfish encryption algorithm is used to encrypt each user’s data security and where the shared secret key is hash down using message digest called secured hash function. Hashing can increase the integrity and privacy of user data. The proposed algorithm is evaluated with a normal blowfish algorithm and 3DES with different parameters. Improved blowfish algorithm shows better performance than normal blowfish algorithm and 3DES. In this work, we have developed web-based application where the Amazon MySQL RDS database is used for data storage.

Published: January 2022

As India is moving fast towards digital economy, E-commerce industry has been on rise. Many platforms such as Amazon and Flipkart provide their customers with a shopping experience better than actual physical stores. Several E-commerce websites use different methods to improve the customer engagement and revenue. One such technique is the use of personalized recommendation systems which uses customer’s data like interests, purchase history, ratings to suggest new products which they may like. Recommendation systems are used by E-commerce websites to suggest new products to their users. The products can be suggested based on the top merchants on the website, based on the interests of the user or based the past purchase pattern of the customer. Recommender systems are machine learning based systems that help users discover new products. Due to the recent pandemic situation of 2020 and 2021, many of the local retail stores have been trying to shift their business to online platforms such as dedicated websites or social media. The proposed methodology based on Machine Learning aims to enable local online retail business owners to enhance their customer engagement and revenue by providing users with personalized recommendations using past data using methods such as Collaborative Filtering and Content-Based Filtering.
Design and Implementation of Medical QA System using Machine Learning Techniques

Published: January 2022

Nowadays, people rely on Traditional books or Google for every answer to their questions on a day-to-day basis, from basic information to medical queries. Till now, people are facing problems and are unable to find the accurate answer to their questions or fetch relevant results. Also, this technique is time-consuming as people have to go through many books to obtain one relevant answer or search various websites, which is a tedious task and not an efficient way in today's world where time is the top priority, yet the majority of people follow these techniques. So, to overcome this technique and solve the current problems, we have implemented a new technique in this paper. The BERT model, pre-trains deep bidirectional representations from the unlabeled text which conditions on both left and right, as a result, provides accurate answers to the user’s query when compared to the state-of-the-art model. This same model can be further implemented in other domains to obtain accurate results.
