How to treat with gynecological cancers during COVID-19 pandemic: A review
Authors: Karimkhani Samira
Published: April 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has created difficulties in managing gynecological malignancies, leading to limitations on routine visits, reduced face-to-face appointments, postponements of surgeries and interventions, and necessary adjustments to treatment strategies. Hospitals have been overwhelmed with COVID-19 cases, making resource allocation a focal point. The pandemic significantly impacted the mental well-being of women with gynecological cancers, leading to heightened anxiety, worries about treatment delays, and increased stress, depression, and fear. Strategies to support mental health, such as telehealth-based mental health services offering online therapy and support groups, have proven beneficial. Additionally, incorporating mindfulness techniques and meditation practices into daily routines could assist patients in coping with stress and anxiety, ultimately fostering emotional resilience. The COVID-19 pandemic has complicated the traditional approach to prioritizing cancer treatment based on cancer stage. Certain gynecological cancers and their treatments can weaken patients' immune systems, making them more susceptible to severe COVID-19 complications. Advanced-stage and aggressively growing cancers pose a particular risk, as postponing treatment due to COVID-19 concerns could lead to disease progression and impact treatment success and patient survival. The urgency of therapeutic decisions during the pandemic is influenced by cancer stage and aggressiveness, with advanced and rapidly progressing cancers requiring prompt intervention. Patient age and overall health status also play crucial roles, as younger patients with strong immune systems may tolerate treatment delays better than older patients with underlying health conditions. COVID-19 outbreak has undeniably disrupted traditional approaches to managing gynecological malignancies, but it has also spurred creativity and adaptation. Treatment decisions for gynecological cancer patients must consider age, overall health, and cancer stage. By embracing telemedicine, using risk assessment models, and prioritizing collaborative patient management, a more resilient and patient-centered healthcare system can be developed to address current and future pandemic challenges.

As arboviroses são caracterizadas por doenças que são transmitidas por mosquito, como exemplo temos a dengue, que é transmitida pelo vírus Aedes aegypti e é considerada um tipo de doença de infecção aguda a qual tornou-se uma problemática muito frequente capaz de prejudicar o bem-estar da população. O objetivo foi realizar um levantamento bibliográfico acerca das informações referentes ao desenvolvimento de vacinas contra a dengue e seu impacto no Brasil. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura com dados retirados das bases de pesquisa da biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, Biblioteca Nacional de Medicina dos Estados Unidos (PubMed) e Google Acadêmico. Para a pesquisa foram usados os Descritores em Ciência da Saúde (Decs): Dengue, Vacinas contra Dengue e Aedes aegypti, sendo utilizados juntamente com os operadores booleanos AND e OR. Até o presente momento duas vacinas foram aprovadas pela ANVISA no território nacional - a Dengvaxia e a Qdenga- sendo que a segunda é capaz de proporcionar resultados mais satisfatórios do que a primeira, principalmente, porque ela promove proteção contra os quatro sorotipos da dengue. No entanto, ainda é necessário mais pesquisas sobre o assunto, sobretudo, porque os autores reiteram que somente a vacina não é capaz de combater plenamente a dengue, sendo imprescindível aliá-la, por exemplo, ao controle de vetores da doença. Portanto, torna-se evidente, portanto, que  são necessários mais estudos sobre tal temática, a fim de que se possa alcançar uma maior redução no número de casos de dengue no Brasil e ,com isso, maximizar o bem-estar da população.

Automatic Question Paper Generator Using Artificial Intelligence
Authors: D PRABHU
Published: April 2024

This process involves using Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, specifically LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) algorithms, to generate questions from text while ensuring semantic accuracy and syntactic coherence. Unlike tasks such as summarization and paraphrasing, generating questions requires not only understanding the text but also being able to frame questions that elicit specific information, thus necessitating answers. To overcome this challenge, the approach involves several steps. First, the text undergoes preprocessing with NLP techniques to remove irrelevant or redundant information, as well as to identify and extract keywords crucial for generating questions. Next, LSTM algorithms are employed to process the text and keywords, enabling the system to understand the context and semantic nuances present in the text. Once the text has been processed, the system begins constructing questions. Instead of directly asking questions based on the extracted keywords, the LSTM algorithm twists or rephrases the questions to ensure they are not merely repetitions of the original text. This twisting process involves rearranging sentence structures, altering word choices, or introducing subtle variations to produce questions that are natural-sounding and coherent while still effectively eliciting the desired information. By leveraging NLP techniques and LSTM algorithms in this manner, the system can generate questions that are not only semantically accurate and syntactically cohesive but also effectively engage with the content of the text, overcoming the challenge of needing answers to frame meaningful questions. This approach represents an innovative use of NLP technology to enhance question generation capabilities, enabling more robust and contextually relevant questioning from textual data.

This research paper explores the challenges faced by Muslims in accessing halal food in India and proposes a mobile application as a solution to enhance halal accessibility. The study utilizes a combination of secondary and primary research methods, including surveys and literature reviews, to investigate the prevalent issues and potential solutions. The findings reveal that the lack of awareness among non-Muslims, coupled with misconceptions about halal certification, contributes to the limited availability of halal options. Additionally, political tensions and cultural norms further hinder halal accessibility in India. To address these challenges, the paper suggests the development of a mobile application that provides users with information about halal-certified restaurants and products, as well as a platform for community engagement. The proposed app aims to empower Muslim consumers and promote inclusivity within the food ecosystem. Keywords : Halal accessibility,Mobile application,Muslim consumers,India,Challenges

Clustering is an essential tool in data mining research and applications. It is the subject of active research in many fields of study, such as computer science, data science, statistics, pattern recognition, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. Several clustering techniques have been proposed and implemented, and most of them successfully find excellent quality or optimal clustering results in the domains mentioned earlier. However, there has been a gradual shift in the choice of clustering methods among domain experts and practitioners alike, which is precipitated by the fact that most traditional clustering algorithms still depend on the number of clusters provided a priori. These conventional clustering algorithms cannot effectively handle real-world data clustering analysis problems where the number of clusters in data objects cannot be easily identified. Also, they cannot effectively manage problems where the optimal number of clusters for a high-dimensional dataset cannot be easily determined. Therefore, there is a need for improved, flexible, and efficient clustering techniques. Recently, a variety of efficient clustering algorithms have been proposed in the literature, and these algorithms produced good results when evaluated on real-world clustering problems. This study presents an up-to-date systematic and comprehensive review of traditional and state-of-the-art clustering techniques for different domains. This survey considers clustering from a more practical perspective. It shows the outstanding role of clustering in various disciplines, such as education, marketing, medicine, biology, and bioinformatics. It also discusses the application of clustering to different fields attracting intensive efforts among the scientific community, such as big data, artificial intelligence, and robotics. This survey paper will be beneficial for both practitioners and researchers. It will serve as a good reference point for researchers and practitioners to design improved and efficient state-of-the-art clustering algorithms.

Now Microfinance Institutions reach thousands of customers and have the opportunity to send out messages, get fast feedback, and experiment with offers at relatively low costs. Social media establish closer connections between consumers as more trustworthy sources of information regarding products and services than business-sponsored communications transmitted via the traditional elements of the promotion mix. Social media channels help to communicate and organize themselves together and allow them to reach out and relay their messages to a larger group of people to create awareness and promote a brand. This paper aims to investigate about social media platforms are being used by microfinance institutions as well as a communication tool with their customers and to identify how microfinance institutions use social media efforts to expand their opportunities in reaching their target market. This study also tries to measure the effectiveness of social media marketing in the development of microfinance institutions. Keywords: Microfinance market, social media marketing, customer attractiveness.

The development of financial technology has given rise to a new class of asset known as cryptocurrency, which has presented a significant potential for study. Forecasting cryptocurrency prices is challenging because of their dynamic and volatile nature. There are hundreds of different cryptocurrencies in circulation today. With prospects in peer-to-peer payments, remittance, e-commerce and retail, and media & entertainment, the cryptocurrency business appears to have a bright future. From 2019 to2024, the worldwide cryptocurrency industry is anticipated to expand at a 32% CAGR. The distributed ledger technology's immutability and transparency, the rise in remittances from poor nations, shifting monetary laws, and a sharp rise in venture capital investments are the main factors propelling this market's growth. We created a short-term prediction (between five and thirty days) for the cryptocurrencies using the ARIMA model. When it came to predicting cryptocurrency time series, we discovered that the suggested method outperformed the ARIMA-ARFIMA models in both periods of gradual rising (falling) and transition dynamics (change of trend). Index Terms: digital currency,cryptocurrency, and ARIMA model.
