Local Industrialization Based Lucrative Farming Using Machine Learning Technique

In recent times, agriculture have gained lot of attention of researchers. More precisely, crop prediction is trending topic for research as it leads agri-business to success or failure. Crop prediction totally rest on climatic and chemical changes. In the past which crop to promote was elected by rancher. All the decisions related to its cultivation, fertilizing, harvesting and farm maintenance was taken by rancher himself with his experience. But as we can see because of constant fluctuations in atmospheric conditions coming to any conclusion have become very tough. Picking correct crop to grow at right times under right circumstances can help rancher to make more business. To achieve what we cannot do manually we have started building machine learning models for it nowadays. To predict the crop deciding which parameters to consider and whose impact will be more on final decision is also equally important. For this we use feature selection models. This will alter the underdone data into more precise one. Though there have been various techniques to resolve this problem better performance is still desirable. In this research we have provided more precise & optimum solution for crop prediction keeping Satara, Sangli, Kolhapur region of Maharashtra. Along with crop & composts to increase harvest we are offering industrialization around so rancher can trade the yield & earn more profit. The proposed solution is using machine learning algorithms like KNN, Random Forest, Naïve Bayes where Random Forest outperforms others so we are using it to build our final framework to predict crop

Attitude towards learning communication skill among dental interns in Davanagere City: A cross-sectional survey

Background: Current education systems including dental education are focusing on communication, leadership, and team-building skills; hence, it is imperative to understand the students' perspectives and willingness to learn communication skills during their professional course. Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the attitude towards learning communication skill among dental interns in Davanagere city. Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey in a dental college setting was conducted among 125 dental interns of Davanagere city. Data were collected pertaining to age, gender, academic performance in the final-year BDS, self-perceived level of communicating skill, and attitude towards learning communication skill using a pretested study pro forma and Dental Communication Skills, Attitude Scale questionnaire. Statistical Analysis: Descriptive statistics were generated in terms of percentages and mean attitude scores. Student's unpaired t-test, one-way ANOVA test, and Pearson's correlation test were used for the analysis of data. The significant level was set at P 0.05) in the mean attitude scores between males and females. Dental interns' attitude towards learning communication skill was not related to their self-reported communication skill and academic performance (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Dental interns had a high positive attitude towards learning communication skill which were not related with their self-reported communication skill and academic performance

Comparative assessment of chlorhexidine, autoclave, aleo vera and microwave irradiation for disinfection of impression materials

Objectives: The present research was done to assess the disinfection of impression materials with chlorhexidine, autoclave, aleo vera and microwave irradiation. Materials & Methods: The present research was done in the department of Prosthodontic. The study consists of 48 alginate impression materials which were disinfectant with chlorhexidine, autoclave, aleo vera and microwave irradiation for disinfection of impression materials.  The pre and post bacterial count was evaluated. Results: The average post disinfection of microbial contamination showed that; Group 1 with chlorhexidine was more effective (434.1 at pre and 21.5at post) with lesser microbial count followed by group III with autoclave (411.1at pre and 27.4 at post), Group-II with microwave irradiation (321.4at pre and 13.3 at post) and least effective with group IV: Aleo vera (278.6at pre and 11.1 at post). One-way ANOVA test was applied which revealed significant difference (P< 0.05) in colony forming unit (CFU) in all groups. Conclusion: Authors found that chlorhexidine, is the better method of sterilization along with autoclave, whereas microwave irradiation and Aleo vera were also effective as disinfectant
