    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 an accuracy of 72.86% for WESAD-EDA dataset and 50% for Swell-EDA dataset which 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

    In this article, we've covered the ENT surgery methods and techniques that Acharya Sushruta detailed in his famous book, the Sushruta Samhita. The founder of the Sushruta Samhita, Acharya Sushruta, is hailed as the "Father of Surgery" and "Father of Plastic Surgery." An essential component of Ayurveda is Shalakya Tantra, which focuses on the analysis and treatment of conditions affecting the mouth, nose, ears, teeth, throat, head, and eyes. Shalakya Tantra is described as "Shalakayah Yatkarma Shalakyam, Tat Pradhanam Tantram Shalakyam" by Acharya Dalhana. It denotes a location where Shalakas (instruments resembling rods) are utilised for therapeutic purposes. The Shalakya Tantra branch of Ayurveda deals with these instruments and how to employ them for therapeutic purposes. It can be found in numerous Ayurvedic treatises today. Sushruta Samhita contains the majority of the Shalakya Tantra, but it is also found here in fragmented form. Detailed discussions of surgical tools (yantras), various incision kinds, various suturing and bandaging techniques (bandha), fracture reductions, foreign body extraction techniques, etc. are contained in the Sushruta Samhita (about 600 BC). He also brought up the utilisation of reconstructive (Sandhana) surgery by Vaidyas even during the colonial era. Acharya gave a comprehensive explanation of ENT surgery procedures that are largely applicable and actual. Acharya Sushruta noticed that a number of fractures and dislocations connected to ENT can be treated. Today, many of the foreign body removal techniques he described are virtually same to those utilised then. Many conventional surgical techniques are still useful today.These interventions can be a tremendous help in learning new and cutting-edge practises with the help of contemporary advances. Our simple goal in writing this paper is to shed light on all the Shalakya Tantra subjects that are mentioned throughout Sushruta in various places

    Tremendous security measures are based on difficult challenges that can be solved only by mathematicalcomputations and analysis. Latest paradigm for higher security is based on hard artificial Intelligence problems, yet unexplored. In this paper, A novel technique of authenticating users through virtual random keyboards and two level intelligent authentication is accrued out, which we can call as combination of Captcha as a graphical password (CaRP) and VRK. CaRP is a complex and innovative technique using graphical style password. CaRP solves the issues of a number of attacks, such as online guessing attacks, relay attacks, shoulder-surfing attacks etc. CaRP alone becomes inefficient to prevent all security; hence this paper makes a survey of the various security measures for secure password schemes and gives a clear picture of the efficiencies of the different techniques. There is no panacea, but highly secure password offers reasonable security and usability and appears suit well with practical applications for improving online security

    Modal examination is a great instrument to categorize the dynamic features of structure and material. All structures and materials that shake through high largeness of shaking at its own resonant frequency. For improving its strength, it is important to know the modal frequencyresonant frequency, modal figure and curbing features of the structure and material at its changing functioning circumstances and dependability at project point. Such a material in construction industry is brick. Brick is one of the most used structural materials for brick wall masonry, so it is necessary to identify its durability and reliability before use in construction. Water absorption is one of the property of all types of bricks, the allowable water absorption for standard brick, later involvement in the water for 24 hours, must not be more than 20 percent through heaviness of the brick. This system, we are using to measure the water content of brick wall is natural frequency, which is new in field of construction. Natural frequency is the frequency at which a method wavers once not exposed to an incessant or recurrent outside force. The basic idea behind this technology is that modal parameters of brick wall like (geometrical parameters, material properties) are the functions of the physical properties of the brick. Variations in the physical possessions will reason obvious changes in the modal attributes. By use of natural frequency to detect water content will be very useful for onsite detection of moisture

    Not AvailableInland lentic waterbodies have a major role in contributing to nutritional and livelihood security of the rural poor in India. Generating a spatio-temporal resource inventory of the small waterbodies has immense potential in evidence-based fisheries development planning, so as to enhance the fish production (quantity) and productivity (quantity per unit area). The present study provides a framework for mapping these waterbodies using high resolution Cartosat 1 PAN and IRS ResourceSAT LISS IV merged imagery, determining the spatio-temporal water spread area and effective water spread area available for fish culture using Sentinel 2 Multi Spectral Imagery, for the years 2016–18. It provides an approach for determining the number of fingerlings required and estimating the production potential under standard production parameters, based on the extent of water available for fish culture in the waterbodies. The framework was piloted in Chhattisgarh, a landlocked State in Central India, which has a large number of inland waterbodies. A total of 121,529 waterbodies, with an area of 202,016 ha were mapped, of which 97% had an extent less than 5 ha. The total extent of waterbodies was 37% higher than the most recent estimate by Government of India. Availability of water in the waterbodies of the state, for a duration of at least 8 and 11 months in a year, was found to be 74% (149,484 ha) and 50% (102,167 ha) respectively, which indicates the vast scope for promotion of intensive aquaculture in the state. Minimum number of fingerlings required for stocking the available water was estimated as 403 million. This framework can be replicated across the country and other regions with poor in-situ data, for effective management of inland waterbodies through location-specific data-driven intervention planning

    PURPOSEAccurate understanding of the genomic and transcriptomic data provided by next-generation sequencing (NGS) is essential for the effective utilization of precision oncology. Molecular tumor boards (MTBs) aim to translate the complex data in NGS reports into effective clinical interventions. Often, MTB treatment recommendations differ from those in the NGS reports. In this study, we analyze the discordance between these recommendations and the rationales behind the discordances, in a non–high-income setting, with international input to evaluate the necessity of MTB in clinical practice.METHODSWe collated data from MTB that were virtually hosted in Chennai, India. We included patients with malignancies who had NGS reports on solid tissue or liquid biopsies, and excluded those with incomplete data. MTB forms and NGS reports of each clinical case were analyzed and evaluated for recommendation concordance. Concordance was defined as an agreement between the first recommendation in the MTB forms and the therapeutic recommendations suggested in the NGS report. Discordance was the absence of the said agreement. The rationales for discordance were identified and documented.RESULTSSeventy MTB reports were analyzed with 49 cases meeting the inclusion criteria. The recommendation discordance was 49% (24 of 49). Discordant recommendations were mainly due to low level of evidence for the drug (75% of cases).CONCLUSIONThe discordance between MTB and NGS vendor recommendations highlights the clinical utility of MTB. The educational experiences provided by this initiative are an example of how virtual academic collaborations can enhance patient care and provider education across geographic borders
