A computational biology goal is the near-real-time integration of epigenomic data sets, irrespective of the laboratory they were generated in—similar to a blood pressure, ECG or troponin test. In addition, epigenome modeling must become dynamic, considering cell-to-cell variability and changes over time due to normal physiological or pathological stressors. Probabilistic modeling and machine learning can help such model creation, while finding (and quantifying) previously identified developing chromatin properties that match heart health changes. A 3D genome representation, for example, may reveal a structural or accessibility attribute connected to health or disease that no single epigenomic test alone can discover. Such strategies can expand basic knowledge of biology and illness.</p> <p>Incorporating wet and dry lab training components to teach schemes to foster the formation of more diverse technical repertoires. Data mining and fresh data collection will revolutionize how we handle chromatin challenges in coming years. Knowing how computers solve problems (as opposed to how people do) and how to computationally phrase questions would create a shared vocabulary that completes tasks. Team members don't need all the big data skills, but a collaborative attitude is important for effective large-scale epigenomic research. UCLA's QCBio Collaboratory is a great platform for teaching non-programmers and facilitating cooperation to resolve biological issues.</p> <p>It also encourages the use of open source technology by making genomics datasets available to non-experts.There are already many bioinformatics tools—and others will be developed to introduce new understanding—but basic knowledge of how computers work and how to answer big-data questions will continue to empower scientists to test the most meaningful hypotheses with appropriate tools to reveal new insights about cardiac biology.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Moataz Dowaidar Copyright (c) 2023 http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/584 Tue, 02 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Secure-Medishare: A Comprehensive Secure Medical Data-Sharing System Using Blockchain, Watermarking, Steganography, And Optimized Hybrid Cryptography http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/626 <p>Medical data plays a crucial role in healthcare, enabling accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and research. However, the secure sharing of sensitive medical data and images remains a significant challenge. Existing techniques often fall short in terms of protecting data integrity, confidentiality, and authenticity. To address these limitations, this paper introduces SECURE-MEDISHARE, a novel secure medical data-sharing system that integrates blockchain technology, watermarking, steganography, and enhanced cryptography.The proposed SECURE-MEDISHARE system aims to provide robust security mechanisms for medical data sharing. Unlike centralized systems, which are susceptible to single points of failure and unauthorized access, SECURE-MEDISHARE utilizes blockchain technology to ensure decentralized and tamper-resistant storage and sharing of medical data. SECURE-MEDISHARE employs watermarking for data integrity and authentication and steganography for confidential transmission of metadata, ensuring authenticity, privacy, and confidentiality of medical data. Furthermore, an optimized hybrid cryptography technique is implemented to secure the transmission and storage of medical data, safeguarding confidentiality and privacy.SECURE-MEDISHARE offers several advantages over existing techniques. It provides enhanced security and privacy protection, efficient data sharing and retrieval, and improved trust among healthcare providers. The system ensures the integrity and authenticity of medical data, preventing unauthorized modifications or tampering. Additionally, the decentralized nature of blockchain technology reduces the risk of data breaches and single points of failure. Experimental results show that SECURE-MEDISHARE generates hashes quickly, taking only 65 milliseconds for 100 blocks. Optimized hybrid cryptography used in SECURE-MEDISHARE also outperforms other cryptography combinations, with encryption and decryption times of 5.635 seconds for 96-bit data. These findings highlight the efficiency and effectiveness of SECURE-MEDISHARE for secure medical data and image sharing. The experimental evaluation confirms that SECURE-MEDISHARE is a reliable and robust solution for secure medical data sharing in healthcare environments.</p> Walzade Arti Krushnarao and Dr. Sharanbasappa Gandage Copyright (c) 2023 http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/626 Thu, 15 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Enhanced Ensemble Fusion Model For Stress Classification And Prediction http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/627 <p>Stress has become a common phenomenon in modern society, and it has been identified as a major factor that affects people's health and well-being. Stress can be caused by various factors, such as work pressure, financial difficulties, relationship problems, and health issues. Prolonged exposure to stress can lead to physical and mental health problems, including anxiety, depression, cardiovascular diseases, and obesity. Accurate stress classification and prediction can help individuals and organizations identify the sources and levels of stress and take appropriate measures to manage stress and prevent negative outcomes. By identifying individuals who are at risk of stress, proactive interventions can be initiated to prevent negative outcomes. Additionally, stress classification and prediction can be useful for designing effective stress management programs and policies that can improve the well-being and productivity of individuals and organizations.Existing systems for stress classification and prediction have limitations in terms of accuracy and efficiency. To overcome these limitations, this paper proposes an Enhanced Ensemble Fusion (EEF)model that combines three ensemble classifiers, namely stacking, bagging, and boosting, using a blending classifier. The EEF model is composed of several classifiers, including the stacking classifier, the bagging classifier, and the boosting classifier, each using an Enhanced J48, Enhanced SVM, and Enhanced Naive Bayes classifier. An Enhanced Logistic Regression classifier is used as a meta-classifier for the stacking classifier. The model was evaluated on a Swell-EDA dataset and WESAD-EDA dataset, and the results show that it outperformed existing systems in terms of accuracy and robustness. The Enhanced Ensemble Fusion Model achieved anaccuracyof 72.86% for WESAD-EDA dataset and 50% for Swell-EDA datasetwhich is significantly higher than the accuracy of individual classifiers and existing ensemble methods. The proposed model provides a promising approach for stress classification and prediction, which can be useful in various applications, such as healthcare, human resources, and education.</p> Suryavanshi Prashant Maharudra and Dr. Sharanbasappa Gandage Copyright (c) 2023 http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/627 Thu, 15 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Oe-Mdl: Optimized Ensemble Machine And Deep Learning For Fake News Detection http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/628 <p>The proliferation of fake news in today's digital era has raised concerns about the credibility and trustworthiness of online information. The detection of fake news has become an essential task to protect individuals, organizations, and societies from misinformation and its potential consequences. Existing fake news detection techniques, including rule-based, supervised machine learning, and NLP approaches, have limitations. Rule-based methods lack adaptability, supervised machine learning struggles with generalization, and NLP techniques face challenges in capturing context and nuanced language. To overcome these limitations, this paper introduces the Optimized Ensemble Machine and Deep Learning (OE-MDL) algorithm for effectively detecting fake news. The proposed OE-MDL algorithm addresses the disadvantages of existing techniques by offering several improvements. Firstly, preprocessing methods are employed, including lowercase conversion, tokenization, stop word removal, word stemming, lemmatization, and spell-checking. Additionally, n-grams generation and the computation of term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) scores are utilized. By considering a broad range of linguistic and statistical features, OE-MDL aims to capture the nuanced signals that differentiate fake news from real news. Furthermore, OE-MDL combines optimized machine learning (OML) and optimizeddeep learning (ODL) phases for improved classification accuracy and robustness. In the OML phase, base classifiers like optimizedRandomForest, optimizedJ48, optimizedSMO, optimizedNaiveBayes, and optimizedIBk are stacked with anoptimizedMultilayer Perceptron as the Meta classifier. This stacked classifier serves as the base for a bagging classifier, which becomes the classifier for an AdaBoostM1 boosting classifier. In the ODL phase, a Dl4jMlpClassifier serves as the base for a bagging classifier, which becomes the classifier for an AdaBoostM1 boosting classifier. The OML and ODL classifiers are combined using a blending classifier with weighted voting to classify the training set. The trained blending classifier predicts the authenticity of news articles in the testing set. The experimental results demonstrate that the OE-MDL algorithm outperforms existing techniques with the highest accuracy (84.27%), precision (74.17%), recall (85.18%), and F1-Score (79.29%), offering an effective solution to combat the spread of fake news.</p> Raut Rahul Ganpat and Dr. Sonawane Vijay Ramnath Copyright (c) 2023 http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/628 Thu, 15 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Controllability Problems And Stability Problems Of Nonlinear Discrete Dynamical Systems By Using Functional Analytic Techniques http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/629 <p>infinite-dimensional system that may be used to represent propagation and transport processes as well as population dynamics (reproduction, development, and extinction). There will always be a delay in economic systems since choices and effects are separated by a non-zero time. In communication networks, the start and delivery of data is also accompanied by a non-zero time interval. The delay might be caused by a model simplification in some situations. Such systems are distinguished by the fact that their energetic may be characterized using discrepancy equations that incorporate data about the system's history. There are numerous approaches to express such systems numerically</p> Udit Kumar Patel and Dr. Anjna Rajoria Copyright (c) 2023 http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/629 Thu, 15 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000 A Machine Learning Model for Automating Irrigation System http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/630 <p>The India most people are dependent on agriculture-based businesses. It also contributes to our economy. Automation in agriculture will help improve crop production quality and quantity. Additionally, help to minimize the resources required. But automation in agriculture requires a significant amount of investment. Therefore, in order to minimize the automation cost of the agricultural irrigation system a Machine Learning (ML) technique is proposed. The aim of the proposed ML model is to reduce the sensor implementation cost and running cost of the complete remote sensor network. Therefore, we considered a dataset of soil moisture and temperature dataset where the predictable is an irrigation treatment type. The dataset is pre-processed first to transform data for learning, then the k-means clustering is applied for behavioral data analysis. This process groups the similar sensor reading and enhances the learning performance regarding the accuracy and learning time. Finally, two machine learning techniques have been implemented to train and predict the irrigation treatment. This technique minimizes the expenses of implementing the sensors on the ground and their execution and maintenance costs. However, the entire system’s performance depends on the accuracy of the prediction model, therefore in near future, we need to work on improving the prediction accuracy of the proposed model.</p> Khadri S S and Dr. Arpana Bharani Copyright (c) 2023 http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/630 Thu, 15 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Detection and Prevention of Wormhole Attack in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks Using Trust Tunneling http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/631 <p>Wireless networks are susceptible to multiple attacks, including an attack known as the wormhole attack. The wormhole attack is actually strong, and preventing the attack has proven to be actually sensitive. A strategic placement of the wormhole can perform in a significant breakdown in communication across a wireless network. In similar attacks two or another malicious colluding nodes produce an advanced- situation virtual tunnel in the network, which is placed to transport packets between the tunnel endpoints. These tunnels emulate shorter links in the network and so act as advantage to unknowing network nodes which by default seek low-lying routes. This work present a novel trust-based trick for connecting and separating nodes that produce a wormhole in the network without engaging any cryptographic measure. With the support of extended simulations, we substantiate that our device functions effectively in the sight of malicious colluding nodes and doesn't assess any inessential stipulations upon the network joint and assignment aspect.</p> Versha Matre and Dr. Sharanbasappa Gandage Copyright (c) 2023 http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/631 Thu, 15 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Argumentative Texts As A Strategy For Critical Thinking Development In Engineering Students http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/632 <p>The Future of Jobs report (World Economic Forum, 2020) reveals that the analysis capacity and critical thinking will be one of the most requested work skills by the year 2025, in addition to being the one presenting the biggest relative growth in recent years.</p> <p>Additionally, critical thinking (CP) is one of the soft skills that are most in demand in the labor market (Rebele &amp; Pierre, 2019). This evidences the urgency of the development of critical thinking in the professional formative stage of students (Davies, 2013).</p> <p>Likewise, critical thinking is widely recognized as one of the hallmarks of high-quality education (Kölbel &amp; Jentges, 2017), so it has been reported that CP is directly related to educational performance (Enríquez Canto et al., 2021)</p> Eli Romeo Carrillo Vásquez Copyright (c) 2023 http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/632 Thu, 15 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000 A Study On The Fault Recognition Utilizing Svm Classifier http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/633 <p>WSNs should focus on fault-tolerant event detection and change detection. According to recent articles, 1.21 percent and 2.12 percent of work has been done in detection and estimation, wireless radio, and link characteristics, respectively. The goal of this research is to contribute to the event region detection in WSN by using the suggested technique to optimize the network's fault tolerance capacity. This research is being expanded to investigate the effect of a noisy communication channel on event detection. The research contributes to the detection of non-binary fault-tolerant event regions by taking into account symmetric and non-symmetric sensor fault probability. Because mushrooms are sensitive to temperature fluctuations, this research could be applied to temperature monitoring in mushroom cultivation. For detecting systematic errors, the third section proposes a sequential change detection algorithm. This work will be useful in time-critical applications, particularly in industrial applications where data must be handled before processing.</p> Manidipa Acharjya and Dr. Rahul Mishra Copyright (c) 2023 http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/633 Thu, 15 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Enhancing Performance Parameters for Smart Video Surveillance Application with AIoT via Collaborative Cloud and Edge Computing http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/634 <p>The traditional cloud-based paradigm is under tremendous pressure on network bandwidth and communication latency, which is why a newly emerging paradigm of computing paradigm is involved. As a result, AIoT applications can be implemented in a cloud-based environment, where model building and model abuse are embedded in the cloud and edges, respectively. However, engineers still face the challenge of building AIoT systems in practice due to the natural diversity of IoT devices, diminishing accuracy of trained models, security and privacy issues, etc. In this paper, I want to introduce the development of an industrial edge- cloud based collaboration platform aimed at facilitating the implementation of AIoT applications. In addition, a land use case was filed in this paper, which proved the effectiveness of the AIoT application building on the platform.

The workforce ought to still be in a position to complement the value of technology, despite the fact that business leaders ought to ensure that automation, digitization, and the extraction of the value of data—such as through artificial intelligence—are fundamental priorities for the organization. The way knowledge is acquired has changed as a result of technology's growing popularity. This is especially crucial for Generation Z and Millennials, who are currently adjusting to the new workplace and largely acquiring knowledge online.

In this paper, we propose a novel approach based on multikernel learning to identify facial actions. The approach is a combination of heterogeneous features derived from local binary pattern (LBP), histograms of oriented gradients (HOG), and deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) features. The proposed method is evaluated on the Cohn-Kanade (CK+) and BU3DFE datasets. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method substantially outperforms the state-of-the-art single and multi-kernel approaches with respect to accuracy. The experiments also show that the proposed method can exploit the complementarity of different features, resulting in improved recognition performance. This is evidenced by the significant gains over the single-kernel approaches.</p> Bombale Girisha Ramhari, Dr. Rais Abdul Hamid Khan Copyright (c) 2023 http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/636 Thu, 15 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Common Fixed Point Theorem in ϵ- Chainable Fuzzy Metric Space Using Absorbing Maps http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/648 <p>We prove some common fixed point theorems for set – valued and single – valued mappings in fuzzy metric and fuzzy 2 – metric space Also generalization and extension of Known results are there by obtained.</p> Sonal Dixit and Dr. Animesh Kumar Gupta Copyright (c) 2023 http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/648 Fri, 23 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Impact of HRM Practices on Organizational Performance - A Study of Indian IT Sector http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/649 <p>The study intends to investigate the way organizational performance is related with human resource management practices in the Information Technology (IT) sector in Odisha, India with a special focus on performance appraisal, training practices, and recruitment &amp; selection.

For users who are visually impaired, it offers object detection in the close vicinity. This technique aids those who are blind in recognising everyday objects such as a chair, table, phone, etc. in their environment. This system helps the blind person buy at the supermarket by using an RGB colour camera to capture images of the immediate area and deep learning to recognise the type and placement of objects in front of the blind person. This method builds two sets of picture databases with a combined total of nine categories, each with an object detection system based on an SSD network as well as an object classification system based on a MobileNets network, to train a neural network. In order to install an object categorization network on an Android phone, this system is constructed of an Android - TensorFlow interface. The Android terminal now has a voice announcement feature that notifies the blind person in real time when an object is recognised. For persons with vision impairments, this system has been shown to be more effective.</p> Vijay Karnatak, Satwik Teotia, Renu Yadav Copyright (c) 2023 http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/650 Sun, 25 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Artificial Intelligence-Driven Innovations in Agriculture http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/656 <p>According to a have a glance at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN, the world is projected to realize nine billion by 2050.

It holds the pattern with their unique ridges and makes the two fingerprints identical. Forensic science relies heavily on the accurate examination and analysis of fingerprints for crime scene investigations. However, the occupational alterations experienced by carpenters who are involved in this process, along with their psychological behavior, can have implications for the reliability &amp; effectiveness of their work. Carpenters, due to the nature of their occupation, may experience alterations to their fingerprints caused by the repetitive friction and pressure exerted on their hands while handling tools and materials. These alterations can affect the ridge patterns and quality of the fingerprints.

As a result, several clustering strategies have been created to improve WSNs' energy efficiency. The use of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antennas is required for fifth-generation (5G) transmissions in many Internet of Things (IoT) applications in order to provide enhanced capacity in a multipath spectrum environment. We think that balancing the energy usage per unit area is preferable to using a single sensor that can provide greater load balancing use. In 5G networks, the IoT devices are enmeshed with a variety of MIMO transmission interfaces. An efficient clustering strategy for quickly growing IoT systems is both absent and urgently required to handle a range of user situations now that MIMO is more frequently available on IoT devices. The quality of experience (QoE) for transmitting in clusters for IoT networks is the main goal of the intelligent MIMO-based 5G balanced energy-efficient protocol that we suggested in this research. In compared to the current protocols, the suggested protocol uses 30% less energy while improving network longevity and energy efficiency.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Avneesh Gour, Dr. Nishant Kumar Pathak Copyright (c) 2023 http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/665 Tue, 15 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Social Media and Focus-group Based Purchase-Intention Determinants of Automobile Industry In India http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/666 <p>The current research is of exploratory nature that finds out and analyzes antecedents of automobile purchase intention (API) of Indian customers in recent times. The pandemic of Covid has recently calm down and markets are working hard towards prosperity. Many customers have deferred their purchase plans and many are looking for more price-efficient alternatives. However, there are others who are looking for safe and personal mobility to maintain social distancing. In this context, it is worthwhile to study the influencers of API of customers. Based on price value of the vehicle a customer already owns, components of his next choice of vehicle is determined here by extracting and analyzing social media review comments. Subsequently these are compared with responses of prospective buyers which were obtained by conducting focus group interviews where participants belong to various price ranges expressed in millions or M in short. The price ranges are obtained through cluster analysis of responses found from social media. For focus group interviews, we reached out to respondents belonging to three major cities of India - Chennai, Kolkata and Mumbai. Responses of the participants have been analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. Qualitative analysis helped us to extract names of the antecedents where quantitative analysis estimates their overall impact on API. Function approximation is applied to quantify the antecedents separately for focus group and social media. Values of antecedents have been mathematically expressed as function of purchase price of the vehicle a customer already owns. This information is extremely useful for vehicle manufacturers as well as salespersons. Using the technique proposed here, a vehicle manufacturer is able to figure out expectations of existing customers in terms of vehicle functionalities whereas sales persons are able to identify automobile product features they should accentuate while demonstrating a vehicle to a potential customer</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Anuradha Banerjee, Basav Roychoudhury, Bidyut Jyoti Gogoi Copyright (c) 2023 http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/666 Tue, 15 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Constructing A Conceptual Framework For Implementing Assistive Learning Technology To Enhance Word Problem Solving Skills In Children With Autism http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/668 <p>Mathematical learning difficulties are the most "resistant" within intervention programmes for autistic children.

Understanding mathematics word problems may be challenging for many autisms spectrum disorder (ASD) children because it also requires literary skills. The main aim of word problem comprehension is to foster a clear understanding of the meaning behind mathematical word problems. To achieve this, it is crucial for individuals to visualize the events described in the narrative text, which contributes to the development of an accurate scenario model. However, supporting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in mastering word problem comprehension poses significant challenges due to various academic and cognitive factors they encounter. This study focuses on utilizing virtual reality learning technologies to explore and identify the foundational concepts that underpin word problem comprehension in autistic children. The ultimate goal is to assess how effectively these children can learn to solve word problems, leading to the development of a clear research objective. By investigating the potential integration of virtual reality into word problem learning, this research aims to provide valuable insights into supporting students in grasping word problem situations.

Cognitive Radio networks (CR) have emerged as a promising solution to address spectrum scarcity by enabling opportunistic access to underutilized spectrum bands. In order to avoid interference, spectrum sensing, an integral part of CR, is based on detecting the presence of primary users. As part of this study, we present a comprehensive comparative analysis of the effectiveness of cyclostationary feature detection techniques for the detection of spectrum features in cognitive radio networks. Cyclostationary analysis takes advantage of the periodic properties of signals and noises to enhance the detection capability. In this paper, prominent cyclostationary-based methods, such as cyclic autocorrelation, cyclic periodogram and spectral correlation density, are examined in detail to determine their performance, robustness, and computational complexity. As a result of real-world scenarios and simulation results, it is possible to gain insight into the strengths and limitations of these techniques, thereby assisting in the selection of the optimal spectrum sensing strategy for cognitive radio networks</p> Mr. Haribhau Shinde, Dr. Sandeep Garg Copyright (c) 2023 http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/670 Wed, 30 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Artificial Neural Network Data Subscription System for Prediction by Level5 Algorithm http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/675 <p>Artificial Neural Network is a techhnology which helps to get future data and for decision making.The existing algorithm in the system is slower in execution timeThe proposed Level5 algorithm is much faster and 99.9% accurate.There are different ANN methods named feed forward,recurrent network,back propagation,counter propagation,cascading Neural Network,Hopfield Network and perception Neural Network.These methods input may vary based on past,present and future data.The proposed Level5 Algorithm have data,code for past present and future of&nbsp; data and priority as input and obtain most accurate and faster result.</p> Binu C T and Dr.Mohan Kumar.S, Dr.Chitra Ravi Copyright (c) 2023 http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/675 Tue, 05 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Hindi/Marathi-BART: An Efficient Sequence-to-Sequence Model for Abstractive Text Summarization for Hindi and Marathi language http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/677 <p>The efficacy of neural sequence-to-sequence models for text summarization has been dramatically enhanced by attention-based architectures. Despite the fact that these models are effective at summarizing English documents, they are not readily transferable to other languages, leaving room for development. This paper presents Hindi/Marathi-BART, a sequence-to-sequence model designed particularly for the Hindi and Marathi languages based on the BART architecture. The model is pre-trained on a large corpus of Hindi and Marathi texts to acquire language-specific features and then fine-tuned for abstractive summarization using benchmark datasets. Despite having substantially fewer parameters, Hindi/Marathi-BART outperforms other cutting-edge models in terms of ROUGE scores, as demonstrated by experimental results. Although the ROUGE score is commonly used to evaluate the quality of automatically generated summaries, it does not adequately convey the semantic similarity between automatically generated and reference summaries. To circumvent this limitation, we augment ROUGE with BERTScore, a more sophisticated evaluator that measures the token-level semantic similarity between the generated and reference summaries. Using Hindi/Marathi-BART can facilitate the development of natural language processing (NLP) applications for these two languages. We will disseminate the model to the research community in an effort to stimulate additional investigation and application.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Neha Rane, Dr. Sharvari S.

Crowd behavior analysis is very valuable economically and has numerous potential applications, including intelligent video surveillance, virtual reality, public safety, and other areas. In densely populated areas, humans might be regarded as a collection of several groups with similar motion characteristics. Groups are essential components of a crowd. A quick crowd segmentation strategy based on crowd spatiotemporal linkages is presented to get fundamental crowd interactions for subsequent crowd behavior analysis. The processing of medical images, face identification, pedestrian detection, and other applications make extensive use of image segmentation technologies. Segmentation is on Region-base, edge detection, segmentation based on clustering, segmentation based on weakly-supervised learning in CNN, etc. are some of the current picture segmentation techniques. This approach takes into account both pedestrian spatial information and crowd motion data. The technique may be used on different crowd scenarios and can get the same segmentation results in less time.

Currently, the most promising technology for managing power flow is the Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC). The UPFC has the capability to simultaneously regulate various parameters of the transmission lines, including impedance, voltage, and phase angle. Although conventional UPFC algorithms are logic-based, the approach remains firmly rooted in logical principles. In the proposed model, termed "collaboration," fuzzy logic is integrated with the fundamental design of the flow controller. Comparing the outcomes of neuro-fuzzy controllers with conventional controllers, it is evident that there is less overshooting with the former.

Specifically, evading obstacles is a complex task for blind people because they greatly depend on their sense of touch and hearing. In such instance, they can observe the impediments at short distance only and they are failed to identify the obstacles, which are hard to determine. Hence, there arises a need for developing obstacle detection techniques to enable easy navigation of the visually impaired persons. Hence, this research work devises an efficient obstacle detection technique using Holoentropy-based Single Shot MultiBox Detector (HeSSD) for aiding visually impaired persons. Here, the input videos are extracted into various frames, and the obstacles are recognized and detected by using developed HeSSD method, where the matching process is carried by Holoentropy approach.

To address the temperature control challenges, this research paper explores the innovative use of Earth Tube Heat Exchangers (ETHE) to harness the Earth's stored thermal energy for efficient heating and cooling within a greenhouse. In this paper, the ETHE system was rigorously evaluated during the peak winter months of December 2021, January 2022, and February 2022, specifically during night-time when temperatures plummeted to their lowest levels. The findings reveal a substantial difference in temperature profiles among various monitored parameters, specifically, the mean outlet temperature of the ETHE system, the temperature within the control greenhouse, the temperature within a non-ETHE equipped greenhouse (check greenhouse) and the ambient temperature over these three critical months averaged at 8.8°C, 0.2°C, -3.9°C, and -11.9°C, respectively. This remarkable disparity demonstrates the ETHE system's ability to maintain a consistent and favourable climate within the greenhouse, with an impressive temperature differential of approximately 4°C compared to a non-ETHE equipped greenhouse. The implementation of an automated sensor-based control system for the blower operation has further enriched the findings, significantly reducing the need for human intervention, saving valuable labor time, and optimizing energy consumption. These results underscore the potential of ETHE systems as a sustainable solution for greenhouse temperature management in challenging agricultural environments.</p> Sonam Angchuk, Aleem Ali, D.

RML-EEAODV combines the strengths of reinforcement machine learning with the AODV routing protocol to create an intelligent and adaptive energy-efficient routing solution. In the current situation, the most significant challenge in MANET is to reduce energy consumption and overhead of each node, and to give a better packet delivery ratio. Reinforcement Machine learning can be used to improve routing decisions of AODV protocol by encouraging nodes to updates a state information database of intermediate nodes along routes to destinations. state information is used for taking forwarding decision to find guaranteed QoS routes.

The count-to-infinity (CTI) problem in the DVR has been avoided and faster convergence has been achieved through some key modifications in the DVR algorithm rather than using sequence numbers which is used by several well-known routing algorithms under the same category. Each node in the MANET efficiently monitors its dynamic neighborhood using a novel state diagram approach and handles the losses and gains of neighbors in an intelligent and proactive manner. With a datagram approach to routing, based on three different types of packets, namely NNT, DVRT, and LEAVE, NMMDVR has avoided packet looping and reduced the loss of routes to a considerable extent. In the paper, we propose a new proactive routing algorithm for MANETs called Neighbourhood Management based Modified Distance Vector Routing for MANET or NMMDVR in short. It is based on some important modifications of the well-known and widely-used DVR algorithm (DVRA), which are incorporated in the algorithm Modified DVRA. These modifications allow the NMMDVR to avoid routing loops without the use of any sequence numbers (a concept used by several well-known routing algorithms for MANET) and offer reliable communication, even under the condition of high mobility.</p> G.

The vast amount of textual data generated on Twitter presents both opportunities and challenges for businesses looking to leverage this information for effective decision-making. Text classification and clustering techniques can provide valuable insights by organizing, analyzing, and categorizing this data in a meaningful way. Text classification involves assigning predefined categories or labels to tweets, enabling businesses to understand sentiments, opinions, or topics associated with their brand or products. By applying sentiment analysis algorithms, businesses can determine the sentiment expressed in tweets, helping them gauge customer satisfaction, identify areas of improvement, or evaluate the impact of marketing campaigns. Text clustering, on the other hand, enables the identification of patterns or groups within the Twitter data without pre-defined categories. It allows businesses to discover natural groupings of tweets based on their content, allowing them to gain insights into emerging trends, customer segments, or communities of interest. These clusters can be used to personalize marketing strategies, recommend products, or target specific customer groups.</p> Sharad Maruti Rokade, Dr. Kailash Patidar Copyright (c) 2023 http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/708 Thu, 19 Oct 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Analysis of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) under Vibration Effect using Analytical Magnetic Field Calculations http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/709 <p>In recent years Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) drives are gradually replacing induction motors drives in engineering fields. This is becoming a trend due to some key features of PM motors, including compactness, efficiency, and robustness, reliability, and shape adaptation to the working environment. Based on analytical magnetic field computation techniques, the analytical solutions for electromagnetic vibration sources such as torque ripple, cogging torque, and radial force density have been developed. By applying FFT analysis to these vibration sources, the specific harmonic orders and the corresponding frequencies that affect vibration of the PMSM’s stator have been investigated. It is observed that results are in good agreement with the predicted values.</p> Mahesh M.Bulhe, Manjusha Deshmukh*, Zunzarrao V.Thorat* Copyright (c) 2023 http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/709 Fri, 20 Oct 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Review Paper on Quality Management Practices for Construction Project Delivery http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/711 <p>The construction industry's primary purpose is to guarantee that construction projects are performed quickly and effectively within the limitations of highest quality, specified time frame, and lowest viable cost.

It is crucial in terms of resource allocation, mitigation, and recovery. Fires are dangerous because of the fuel they consume. There will always be fire where there is gasoline. Using data to anticipate how things burn and fuel model conditions is the most valuable use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in battling wildfires. In order to aid in the fight against wildfires, AI can assist in anticipating how big fires will develop and where they will spread. Forest fire prediction, prevention, and mitigation can be aided by computer vision technology, data analysis and prediction, as well as machine learning and deep learning. Forest fires can be predicted using atmospheric data and deep learning. Environmental conditions, as well as data analysis of the surrounding trees and leaves that serve as the fuel for any forest fire, can be examined using AI to evaluate and predict the likelihood of a forest fire with a good degree of accuracy. The concepts of employing AI in forest fire prediction, prevention, and mitigation are presented in this study.</p> Prof Dr R K Vaithiyanathan Copyright (c) 2023 http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/716 Mon, 06 Nov 2023 00:00:00 +0000 An Unified Effect On Triangular Fuzzy Linear Fractional Programming Problem http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/719 <p>The linear fractional programming (LFP) problem has attracted the attention of many researchers as it applies to many important fields such as production planning, finance and business planning, healthcare and hospital planning. Several methods have been proposed to solve this problem such as the variable transformation method [5] and the updated objective function method [3].&nbsp; The first method transforms the (LFP) problem into an equivalent linear programming problem, while the second method solves a sequence of linear programming problems in response to an update of the local gradient of the fractional objective function at consecutive points.&nbsp; Several topics on the concept of duality and the optimal conditions for (LFP) were also discussed by [11] and [12] respectively. Recent research on the theory and methods of fractional programming can be found in [2],[1]. Loganathan.T et al., proposed a solution approach to fully fuzzy linear fractional programming problems in [7]. Jervin used two square determinant approaches for simplex method in [6].In addition, the fuzzy concepts are taken into account for this paper. The topic of fuzzy subsets was introduced in 1965[10].&nbsp; Researches across the world developed various concepts bridging fuzzy with most of the area in Mathematics and introduced Fuzzy Real line [8], fuzzy topology [9], fuzzy trigonometry [4], etc.&nbsp; Later, fuzzy numbers were defined and were found to have more application developments than fuzzy subsets.&nbsp; Fuzzy numbers have been used to obtain better results in problems where in decision making and analysis are involved.&nbsp; Fuzzy number, which is an extension of real numbers, has its own properties which can be related to theory of numbers.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The paper is organized as follows: section 2 deals with some preliminary definitions and the</p> <p>Existing fuzzy sets and fuzzy numbers operations are given. An Algorithm is developed for solving Triangular fuzzy linear fractional programming problem and to strengthen our procedure, the Numerical example is given in section 3.

Because tax revenues are viewed as an important source of cash in paying government expenditures, numerous experimental and survey results concluded by tax scholars have revealed characteristics of noncompliant taxpayers. Globalization has created a great demand for a variety of public services, prompting governments to raise taxes to fund these programs. The burden of taxes is shifted to taxpayers as a result of the government's and taxpayers' need for public service. Because of taxpayer noncompliance, the gap between tax receipts and tax expenditures is widening, resulting in unbalanced government budgets. Understanding the causes of tax evasion necessitates investigation into the motivations of tax evaders. The study's major goal is to look into the causes of tax evasion in Ghana and how it affects the economy. Based on research of various literatures, we have determined that insufficient government tax incentives, poverty or a lack of cash, a lack of or weak tax law, and insufficient tax education are among the causes of tax evasion in the country.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Felix Ahima-Adonteng Copyright (c) 2023 http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/731 Tue, 21 Nov 2023 00:00:00 +0000 AI Based Mock Interviewer with Question, Answer and Feedback http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/732 <p>Nowadays, technology is everywhere, and it’s constantly providing us with ways to work more efficiently and save time.

Effective image organization and retrieval depend on effective content indexing. In order to achieve content indexing, this research study offers a technique that blends automatic image captioning with information fusion. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are used in our suggested strategy to extract characteristics from photos by utilizing cutting-edge machine learning techniques. The Bidirectional Long Short Term Memory (bi LSTM) network uses these features as input to create captions for the images. These captions, together with other data like user-generated tags or metadata, let us understand the image's content completely. This information fusion greatly enhances picture indexing's accuracy and relevance, making it more suited to users' demands and flexible across applications. We demonstrate the efficacy of our methodology through experiments on image datasets by displaying considerable improvements in precision and recall rates for content indexing.

One big problem is dealing with weeds that can hurt crops and lead to more pesticide use. This research explores a new way to solve this problem using computers and pictures. Traditionally, people used expensive and not-so-environmentally-friendly methods to control weeds. But now, we can use technology like high-quality cameras on drones and satellites to take pictures of fields. Then, we use smart computer programs to figure out which plants are crops and which ones are weeds. This helps us target the weeds more precisely without harming the crops. A multiclass setup is used to detect and categorize corn and soybeans in images. Diverse datasets with annotations are collected. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) extract features from images, and a neural network model, like UNet, classifies them as “corn”, “soybean” or “neither”. The model is pre-trained on large datasets and fine-tuned for agriculture. Training and validation sets assess its performance. Real-time deployment aids farmers, and postprocessing refines results. Periodic retraining adapts to changing conditions. This approach enhances precision agriculture. By bringing together technology and farming, we’re creating a new way to fight weeds. This research aims to contribute to the conversation about making farming more precise and ecofriendly. It’s all about using technology to make farming better for the environment and more efficient. In simple terms, this research is about using computers and advanced cameras to help farmers grow crops better and control weeds more effectively while taking care of the environment.</p> Mustafa Shaikh, Pranay Sinha, Pulimaddi Venkata Chetana Ajay, Rahul P, Prof. Rushali Patil Copyright (c) 2023 http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/736 Tue, 21 Nov 2023 00:00:00 +0000 LipRead: An Empirical Examination of Lip-Reading Patterns in Sentence Comprehension http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/737 <p>In the intriguing domain of sentence-level lip reading, a narrative unfolds—a story in the ever-evolving intersection of computer vision and NLP.

It involves mutual assistance, reducing anxiety during pregnancy, and improving obstetric outcomes. As a result, the goal of this study is to examine the functions of social support networks in childbirth, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, in order to gain a better understanding of how to enhance mother and child health in Africa. This review was conducted using an electronic search engine to search for articles that described social support systems and their roles and which were published up to August 2023. After screening, a total of 17 articles were included. The contents on social support systems were thematically categorized into four major systems: (1) Family, (2) Individual, (3) Professional and (4) Community. The sub-themes of social support systems observed from the reviewed papers were mostly the family of the mother (30.44%), the husband or the baby’s father (23.90%), Community members, neighbours, and friends of the mother (19.57%) and the family of the husband/baby’s father (10.88%). The least common type of social support sources was from Health workers (6.53%) and Traditional Birth Attendants (2.17%), "Self" (2.17%), Religious counsellors/members (2.17%) and colleagues at work (2.17%). The most stated social supports were Emotional Support (24.51%), Instrumental support (20.73%), financial support (16.97%), Informational Support (15.08%) and the least stated social supports were Material support (9.53%), Spiritual/Religious support (5.65%), Physical Support (5.65%) and Relationship Support (1.88%).</p> <p>Sub-Saharan Africa faces significant challenges in providing social support for mothers during childbirth.

Remote health monitoring systems have become essential in today's interconnected society since they allow for the monitoring and enhancement of healthcare results.&nbsp;&nbsp; These systems consistently gather and send an extensive quantity of data from diverse sensors and devices, such as wearables and IoT devices, to healthcare practitioners or centralized databases for analysis and decision-making.&nbsp;&nbsp; Cloud load balancing is the process of evenly distributing incoming data traffic among different resources or servers in a cloud environment.&nbsp;&nbsp; Monitoring devices manage the large volumes of data processed and acquired by sophisticated medical sensors, while simultaneously ensuring performance factors such as throughput and latency.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Load balancing is utilized to effectively manage large amounts of data through the use of centralized and distributed methods.&nbsp;&nbsp; Through the integration of cloud load balancing into remote health monitoring systems, healthcare organizations can guarantee the efficient distribution of data processing and analysis across numerous servers. This prevents any single server from becoming overwhelmed, thereby ensuring the system's high availability and responsiveness. Furthermore, cloud load balancing helps optimize the utilization of computing resources, ensuring that each server handles an appropriate amount of workload. This not only improves the performance and response time of the system but also enhances scalability, allowing the system to handle increasing data loads with more patients and devices. Hence, it is necessary to allocate the burden of the intelligent operational devices to avoid any possible lack of response. This study presents a cloud-based framework that aims to equally divide the burden among fog nodes. The system is designed to cater to the communication and processing requirements of intelligent real-time applications.</p> Vidya.R, Prof.(Dr.) Gladston Raj S Copyright (c) 2023 http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/741 Fri, 24 Nov 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Cultural Historical Activity Theory: A Framework for Understanding and Transforming Teaching and Learning in the Classroom http://sjis.scandinavian-iris.org/index.php/sjis/article/view/742 <p>Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) stands as a profound socio-cultural framework for comprehending and revolutionizing the dynamics of pedagogy and learning within the classroom milieu.
