    Currently, mental health concerns pose a significant issue in Odisha. Generally, mental health problems affect a person\u27s thoughts, feelings, actions, and communication. As per the 2017 National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS), one in five individuals in Odisha suffer from depression, two have anxiety, and one out of ten experiences stress. Additionally, students in higher education are at an elevated risk of developing mental health problems. However, helping a person with mental health concerns can be challenging due to difficulties in identifying the root causes of their condition. The main objectives of this study are to: 1. Explore mental health issues among higher education students. 2. Investigate the factors that contribute to these issues. 3. Assess the effectiveness of machine learning techniques in analyzing and predicting mental health problems among higher education students. Using computational modeling, this paper\u27s findings will contribute to the ongoing discussion on mental health concerns in future research

    Nonlinear Spectral Unmixing using Semi-Supervised Standard Fuzzy Clustering

    Coarse resolution captured in remote sensing causes the combination of different materials in one pixel, called the mixed pixel. Spectral unmixing estimates the combination of endmembers in mixed pixels and their corresponding abundance maps in the Hyper/Multi spectral image. In this paper, a nonlinear spectral unmixing based on semi-supervised fuzzy clustering is proposed. First, pure pixels (endmembers) using Vertex Component Analysis (VCA) are extracted and those pixels are the labelled pixels where the membership value of each is 1 for the corresponding endmember and 0 for the others. Second, the semi-supervised fuzzy clustering is applied to find the membership matrix defining the fraction of the endmember in each mixed pixel and hence extract the abundance maps. The experiments were conducted on both synthetic data such as the Legendre data and real data such as Jasper Ridge data. The non-linearity of the Legendre data was performed by the Fan model on different signal-tonoise ratio values. The results of the new unmixing model show its significant performance when compared with four state-of the art unmixing algorithm

    The present work is mainly discussed with a qualitative study of engine’s significant characteristics fuelled with mahua bio-diesel & its different types of mixtures with neat diesel. The significant technical properties of various mixtures are tabulated. A 4-S multi-cylinder (6-Cylinder) DI conventional CI engine is used for the study under different speed modes. All types of characteristics for various mixtures are estimated in running the engine. Pure diesel is indicated by B-0 and pure mahua bio-diesel is represented by B-100. From the test results, it is found that B-25 gives almost the same BTE as B-0 at maximum load, compared to all the blends. The blend B-0 and B-25 give the least SFC of 0.332 and 0.268 kg/kWh at minimum speed (1200 rpm) and maximum speed (2400 rpm) at maximum load as contrasted to all mixtures. The B-100 gave 3.01% of NOx while related to B-0 @ lower speed

    Forecasting Stock Market Indices Using Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) Based Ensemble Models: LSTM-GRU

    Get PDF
    A time sequence analysis is a particular method for looking at a group of data points gathered over a long period of time. Instead of merely randomly or infrequently, time series analyzers gather information from data points over a predetermined length of time at scheduled times. But this kind of research requires more than just accumulating data over time. Data in time series may be analyzed to illustrate how variables change over time, which makes them different from other types of data. To put it another way, time is a crucial element since it demonstrates how the data changes over the period of the information and the outcomes. It offers a predetermined architecture of data dependencies as well as an extra data source. Time Series forecasting is a crucial field in deep learning because many forecasting issues have a temporal component. A time series is a collection of observations that are made sequentially across time. In this study, we examine distinct machine learning, deep learning and ensemble model algorithms to predict Nike stock price. We are going to use the Nike stock price data from January 2006 to January 2018 and make predictions accordingly. The outcome demonstrates that the hybrid LSTM-GRU model outperformed the other models in terms of performance

    Challenges and Strategies for Women Empowerment in India: Facts and Realities

    Get PDF
    In today’s world women empowerment is an important issue of discussion because in every sector we find women which constitute half of the total population in the world are lacking behind. If about half of the nation\u27s human resources are neglected, the overall progress of the country would obviously be hampered. Women empowerment has become one of the most central concerns and need of the hour but in reality, the situation is not good enough. In the traditional patriarchal society, women have been given a secondary status which is reflected in the economic, social and political spheres. However, women equality and empowerment has always remained a priority area and has been taken utmost care by stake holders. Gender mainstreaming propels progress towards the ultimate goal of attaining gender equality and women empowerment. In this direction policies and programmes at different levels to cover various proportions and strategies of gender development have been framed by the government of India. The paper critically examines women empowerment in India, various challenges and strategies. The paper discusses constitutional safe guards as well as plans and programmes by the government and their implementation, indicators of women empowerment in India. Finally, this paper is an attempt to examine the status of women in India and provides some policy suggestions for women empowerment

    A successful construction project is determined when it is completed within the expected budget and time, ensuring the required levels of quality and safety. For a project to be successful, it is essential to plan properly and have a reliable monitoring system in place. Furthermore, the building construction sector has a negative impact on the environment by generating waste, increasing carbon emissions, polluting the air and water, and accelerating climate change. This study intends to investigate cost overrun prevention strategies in Sri Lanka using sustainable building materials. Accordingly, a mixed-method research approach was selected, and an e-based closed-ended questionnaire survey and semi-structured expert interviews were carried out to collect data from construction industry professionals. In the questionnaire survey, a total of 80 construction industry experts were selected from different job categories as the respondents, and 53 responses were received with a response rate of 66.25%. On the other hand, 10 construction professionals participated in the semi-structured interview. The study has identified 15 factors that significantly impact cost overrun in the Sri Lankan building construction sector based on the mean weight ratings. The study found that using sustainable alternatives to natural resources at a lower cost is preferable. The most workable solutions to control the identified critical factors were determined to be new policies for sustainable construction, new financial frameworks for importing sustainable materials, new construction methods and technologies associated with sustainable materials and controlling the monopoly of sustainable material suppliers or manufacturers

    Get PDF
    Boilers are valued highly in many industrial industries and are expensive assets. In addition to their initial expense, they demand a large maintenance budget in order to guarantee output in respectable and safe working conditions. In order to avoid extreme repercussions, including the loss of lives, these assets must be carefully operated under experienced, well-trained supervision and subject to rigorous maintenance schedules and safety activities. However, this investigation is carried out with the help of the FMEA method, considering the previous literature\u27s studies of boiler accidents in Asia so far. Phase I has detailed information about boilers and Asian boiler accidents, and this research paper explains its nature. Subsequently, based on the data obtained in Phase I, an FMEA model will be developed in Phase II to highlight key boiler safety points. This research helps boiler manufacturers, boiler-related entrepreneurs, and boiler users to ensure maximum safety and identify any new things related to boiler safety
