A Machine Learning Model to Identify Fake Data from Social Media using Sentiment Features
The exponential growth in the use of social media is leading to sharing of information among each other through which the spreading of fake news is common these days. online social networking is the main source for fake news. The most popular social media are Twitter and Facebook, through which the majority of the news reaches the public. This study is aim to try different classification algorithms in comparing with Dataset. For our experiment purpose the dataset used is Real or Fake News dataset which is extracted from Kaggle, which comprises 30Mb of twitter data. The two major classification algorithms used are Naive Bayes and Logistic Regression classification algorithm. The algorithms result in Accuracy score 82.48%, AUC 1.0 and kappa score 0.64 and Accuracy score 91.16%, AUC 0.91 and kappa score 0.82 respectively for the given dataset. The two different classification algorithms are successfully checked with the given dataset. The sentimental analysis is the other way of identification of fake data problem which can be implemented to know the positive and negative sentiment in the given twits. VADER feature is the one of the feature extraction which can be tried with the dataset to find out fake and real data
A Study on Vaigitha Vadham
The author’s dissertation topic “Vaigithavadham” comes under Vadharoga nithanam in yugi Vaidhya chinthamani. If Vadha is affected, the other functions of protection and destruction are also affected. The disease is characterized by the presence of haematoma, Pain, swelling which may involve any part of the body. The disease may also have complications like ischemic damage to nerves. The patient complaints of swelling, which is firm in character associated with pain and restriction of day-to-day activities. Few of them, shows the symptoms of fever, cough and neurological symptoms like numbness, probably due to compression of nerves. All of these correlates with “Vaigithavadham” explained by our great siddhar Yugeemuni.
CONCLUSION:
Identification of disease and its pathogenesis are pre requisite for medical practice. A detailed history taking, clinical examinations as per siddha guide lines is necessary to arrive at precise diagnosis.
The study on Vaigitha vadham was carried out in this dissertation, giving importance to the characteristics of the disease like haematoma formation, pain, swelling & fever. Diagnosis can be carried out by detailed history taking, classical clinical examination of siddha system, viz, envagai thervugal and changes in seven physical constituents and three humours. This study on Vaigitha vadham concluded that, Vaigitha vadham is a bleeding disorder, “Haemophilia”, which has given relevance to modern clinical entity
THE MORAL CALCULUS OF PHARMA COMPANIES IN INDIA
To comprehend whether corporate social responsibility (CSR) in pharma is more of a corporate hypocrisy where firms and organizations tend tomarginalize their employees and the environment at large. The present study is case based, and an attempt has been made to analyze probable drivingreasons behind the corporate behavior exhibited by pharma industries. CSR is understood differently by different beneficiaries but usually refers toserving the citizens, population of communities, and the larger society in a way that goes beyond what is legally required of a firm. Though numerousprograms and schemes have been launched for their upliftment, it is all an eye wash which is intended for the internal benefit of the organization.Corporate these days, as per the Companies Act should report spend of 2% of their profits as pronounced in the CSR and pharmaceutical companiesare no exemption to it. As per Section 135 of the Companies Act 2013, it is recommended that companies having revenue above Rs. 1,000 crore andprofit more than Rs. 5 crore should report what they spend for CSR. Companies these days often utilize CSR as a brand building exercise, engagementof employees, helping the local community around their firm, or even as a fame generating spot for the themes of the chairman's spouse. Thus, it isobvious that the social responsibility of pharmaceutical business sector is mainly to increase their profit, increase their shareholder activism, andinvestment in the community.Keywords: Corporate social responsibility, Hypocrisy, Pharmaceutical industries, Society and organization
ONLINE PHARMA RETAIL IS A PROMISING/UNPROMISING AVENUE: AN INDIAN CONTEXT
To consider the prescription of drugs through online retail is an opportunity or not for the end consumers in an Indian context. This paper described thebasic issues and challenges related to online pharma retail in the Indian context through case method. India is among the top six global pharmaceuticalproducers in the world. The Indian vaccines are exported to 150 countries. India produces 40-70% of the World Health Organization (WHO) demandfor Diphtheria-Pertussis-Tetanus and Bacille Calmette-Guérin vaccine and 90% of measles vaccine. Sustained by the amazing success achieved byconsumer durables industry in the online space, pharma is the next big sector in India to target consumer online. The growth in the industry hascreated a great opportunity for the online model for this business. India has now seen pharma players taking the e-commerce route with an intentionto offer a solution to a number of problems plaguing the retail pharmacy industry. Though online medicines look like a promising trend today, thebusiness is challenged by regulatory issues.Keywords: Online pharmacy, Online pharma retail, Online medicines, E-pharma retailing
PHARMA EXPORT: COMFORTS AND CONFRONTS IN INDIA

HEALTH LITERACY: A PREREQUISITE FOR POPULACE WELFARE
ABSTRACTThe objective of this study is to know about the significance of health literacy awareness among the public. Health literacy is a strategy to empowerthe control of people over their own health and capacity to inquire about the health information to take decisions regarding the health issues. Peoplemust increase their health literacy with quality and understanding information. The impact of less health literacy rates is errors in medication, inferiorhealth position, increased hospitalizations, and increased cost of health care. The competency to make health decisions in daily life, at work life, inhealth-care system, and in emergency situations will determine the health literacy. The health literacy means the attaining the level of knowledge,individual skills and confidence to arrive decisions to enhance individual and societal health by altering lifestyles and livelihood. Low literacy level hasan impact on the health status of the people by restricting the individual, social and cultural progress thereby impede the progress of health literacy.The health literacy can be regarded as a capacity needed to be familiar with sources of health information and use them by retrieving the information.The accessibility of quality information, its applicability in a required situation, analyzing, understanding, and utilizing of information is necessary fortaking efficient health decisions.Keywords: Health literacy, Empowerment strategy, Health decisions and health care system

ELECTROCEUTICALS: AN ALTERNATE BLESSING TO MANKIND
ABSTRACTThe objective of the present study is to understand the use of electricity in treating ailments to mankind where they need not swallow the pills or injectintravenously rather have the device implanted which would monitor the nerve impulses, detect if any problems exist, and then supply electricity tothe organs affected to make them function properly. This study is based on the case approach to identify the usefulness of electrical appliances formankind. Each individual is unique and, therefore, electroceutical devices should also have the patient-specific element for smarter use of the implant.This newly emerging field of electroceuticals needs to be understood keeping in mind the body's electrical grid and the language of nerve impulsesto treat varied diseases and disorders affecting the mankind. The study pinpointed that electroceuticals is supplements to traditional treatment.Although much usefulness is found toward using electrical impulses to treat the organ, the devices need to be designed with relatively small wiresand batteries for easier implantation. Each individual is unique and, therefore, electroceutical devices should also have the patient-specific elementfor smarter use of the implant.Keywords: Electroceuticals, Ailments, Electrical appliances, Patient-specific treatment
