Automated Screening for Three Inborn Metabolic Disorders: A Pilot Study

Background: Inborn metabolic disorders (IMDs) form a large group of rare, but often serious, metabolic disorders. Aims: Our objective was to construct a decision tree, based on classification algorithm for the data on three metabolic disorders, enabling us to take decisions on the screening and clinical diagnosis of a patient. Settings and Design: A non-incremental concept learning classification algorithm was applied to a set of patient data and the procedure followed to obtain a decision on a patient’s disorder. Materials and Methods: Initially a training set containing 13 cases was investigated for three inborn errors of metabolism. Results: A total of thirty test cases were investigated for the three inborn errors of metabolism. The program identified 10 cases with galactosemia, another 10 cases with fructosemia and the remaining 10 with propionic acidemia. The program successfully identified all the 30 cases. Conclusions: This kind of decision support systems can help the healthcare delivery personnel immensely for early screening of IMDs

The study sets out to examine the so-called belief-based planting rituals

Mecheri Shri Pathirakaliyamman Temple’s Origin and Cults

Men who wandered as a nomad reaches the present civilized human society only after various evolutions. Before reaching the current civilization, men lived his life based on nature. After that men marveled at the powers of nature and so they started worshiping nature to protect himself from its wrath and destruction. Later they started worshiping nature by giving a particular shape for it. Then the people thought that every town must have a temple and it can be proved through a proverb “Don’t live in a temple less town’. They believed that if good happens it is God’s grace and if evil happens it is God’s anger. They worship their deities with faith and fear. This article puts forth the worship of Shri Pathirakaliyamman temple

Merging of the Pharaonic and Arabic Worlds in the novels of Naguib Mahfouz

This paper discusses about the social, political, cultural and historical changes through ages in the novels of Naguib Mahfouz. Throughout his novels there is a blend of past and present. Mahfouz is the son of two civilizations- the Great Pharaonic Empire and a mixture of Arabic and Islamic traditions. Being an Arabic author, he transcends the limits of Arabic and Islamic tradition, to which he belongs, tracing his heritage and seeking his identity as an Egyptian. Paper discusses Mahfouz’s four novels The Mockery of the Fates (1939), Thebes at War (1944), Midaq Alley and Cairo Trilogy. His aim was to seek the identity of his own country in the space time of his existence and the sphere of his self. Mahfouz makes use of his historical novels to study human nature. He gave it a new dimension by tackling vibrant themes from Egypt’s ancient history, some of which were reflected in the surge of nationalism, whose aim was to liberate its people politically, socially and culturally from foreign domination. He also presents a social topography of the colonial Egypt through his texts

Problems of Translating Cultural Codes in Computational Linguistics

Discourse on the computational linguistics and translation software underlies one of the major interdisciplinary research areas in translation studies. The limitations of translation software with linguistic theory and with languages, especially culturemes reveal both positive and negative aspects. On the positive side there is much to be learned from Interlingua phrases as opposed to transfer approaches. Similarly, the commercial language technology can strengthen the diversity of selected languages and cultures, rather than necessarily impose just one international Lingua Franca. On the negative side the trials for localising culture is the loss of linearity in text and originality, which in turn leads to an unreal transcreation of the text. Localizing culturemes is understood as a general mode of thought informing cross cultural text adaptation in the fields of software, product documentation, web technology and computational linguistics. Specialized software for translation is used by translators to speed up the translation process. This in turn leads to another negative aspect, that they restrict the role of translation to mechanical replacement, resulting in the financial priority over the appropriate use of language or transcreation/ translation. These issues can only be addressed once the cultureme is identified and understood and a medium is found to transfer the ‘real’ behind the phraseologies to folklores

The Evolution of the Arts: Kuravanchi Dance Drama

No matter or energy can be created or destroyed. The law of physics is that it can only be transformed into another object or energy. It applicable to the arts also. Art can never suddenly emerge anew. It is influenced by different arts over a while and takes on the appearance of another art based on needs. Therefore, Evolution is the development of another art under the influence of other arts. Thus, the literary art of Kuravanchi has evolved into the art of drama coupling with the arts of music and dance. The purpose of this article is to analyze the organization of the Kuravanchi dance dramas and to observe whether the traces of the above arts can be found in them

Usage of School libraries by Secondary school teachers in Mysore block: A study

Teachers play a dynamic role in upbringing students in academics as well as for living successfully in today’s complex and challenging information society. But certified librarians’ play a more diverse role in student\u27s life, among which is to support their well-being and help teachers leverage the power of technology in the classroom strategically and with purpose. The present paper attempted to study how teachers utilize the school library and other sources of information that inspire and motivate students to knowledge-based information technology-driven society. This study identified that a professional librarian is effective and library orientation programs support teachers in adopting a broad range of teaching strategies. The questionnaire method was employed to achieve the objectives of the study and 300 questionnaires were distributed among secondary school teachers in Mysore Block on a simple random basis for collecting relevant data. 276 teachers responded to the questionnaire. Inquiry into the teacher’s perception and experiences for a library orientation or an entry-level library instruction class discovered that learning library skills toolkit would allow them to become more comfortable with library spaces and helps them reach the goal of solving a digital treasure box. It has been found that teachers who showed enthusiasm towards collaboration with a certified librarian can create a student’s intrinsic motivation to learn and vitality in the classroom

Data analysis was done by appropriate statistical methods.Results:No large differences were obtained in the values between the 2 automated analysers. Mean ± SD of each of the hepatic enzyme analysed by automated analysers were very close to each other indicating a minimum bias. Pearson’s correlation and scattered diagram showed significant positive correlation at 95% confidence interval between 2 automated analysers.  Conclusion:The findings of this study confirm that both the automated analysers were reliable for evaluation of hepatic enzymes.

FVI-BD: Multiple File Extraction using Fusion Vector Investigation (FVI) in Big Data Hadoop Environment

— The Information Extraction (IE) approach extracts useful data from unstructured and semi-structured data. Big Data, with its rising volume of multidimensional unstructured data, provides new tools for IE. Traditional Information Extraction (IE) systems are incapable of appropriately handling this massive flood of unstructured data. The processing capability of current IE systems must be enhanced because to the amount and variety of Big Data. Existing IE techniques for data preparation, extraction, and transformation, as well as representations of massive amounts of multidimensional, unstructured data, must be evaluated in terms of their capabilities and limits. The proposed FVI-BD Framework for IOT device Information Extraction in Big Data. The unstructured data has cleaned and integration using POS tagging and similarity finding using LTA method. The features are extracted using TF and IDF. The Information extracted using NLP with WordNet. The classification has done with FVI algorithm.  This research paper discovered that vast data analytics may be enhanced by extracting document feature terms with synonymous similarity and increasing IE accuracy
