Bridging the Patient-Physician Disconnect

71% of healthcare providers prioritize patient engagement, merely 29% of patients rate their providers highly in this regard, highlighting a significant gap in the patient-physician connection (CWD Healthcare). To bridge this divide and improve healthcare outcomes, it is imperative to address education around the patient-physician connection through medical education. Medical institutions should emphasize the importance of addressing region-specific inequities and diverse patient needs with compassion and perspective (Curricula for Empathy and Compassion Training in Medical Education). These skills would be taught through interactive learning modules and applied in real-world opportunities. For this project, modules will be based on the regional disparities of the Inland Empire, such as food insecurity, air pollution, and mental health (Prevention Institute). To explore medical student and patient satisfaction, gathering feedback through surveys is crucial to analyzing the need and impact of these modules. Gauging readiness for a potential shift in the curriculum will serve as a guiding compass for ongoing reform. By equipping medical students with the skills needed to connect with patients from all backgrounds, we can foster a more inclusive and patient-centered healthcare system. Improving medical education can eventually close the disconnect between patient expectations and provider practices

Face Liveness Detection for Biometric Antispoofing Applications using Color Texture and Distortion Analysis Features

Face recognition is a widely used biometric approach. Face recognition technology has developed rapidly in recent years and it is more direct, user friendly and convenient compared to other methods. But face recognition systems are vulnerable to spoof attacks made by non-real faces. It is an easy way to spoof face recognition systems by facial pictures such as portrait photographs. A secure system needs Liveness detection in order to guard against such spoofing. In this work, face liveness detection approaches are categorized based on the various types techniques used for liveness detection. This categorization helps understanding different spoof attacks scenarios and their relation to the developed solutions. A review of the latest works regarding face liveness detection works is presented. The main aim is to provide a simple path for the future development of novel and more secured face liveness detection approach

Effective Feature Selection for Feature Possessing Group Structure

Feature selection has become an interesting research topic in recent years. It is an effective method to tackle the data with high dimension. The underlying structure has been ignored by the previous feature selection method and it determines the feature individually. Considering this we focus on the problem where feature possess some group structure. To solve this problem we present group feature selection method at group level to execute feature selection. Its objective is to execute the feature selection in within the group and between the group of features that select discriminative features and remove redundant features to obtain optimal subset. We demonstrate our method on data sets and perform the task to achieve classification accuracy

Mitigating the Problem of Packet Dropping & Energy Management in AD-HOC Wireless Network

A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is a self-arranged network that consists of mobile routers connected by wireless channels. Anonymity communication is a great challenge in MANET. Though there are many anonymity enhancing techniques that have been introduced. These techniques are based on packet encryption to secure the communication anonymity. Still MANET is vulnerable to passive statistical traffic analysis attacks. There are two features of communication anonymity: end-to-end anonymity and source or destination anonymity. This proposed system is designed to discover the communication pattern without decoding the captured packets. First phase of the proposed system is to search the required node. The search is performed by using a heuristic approach. Second phase is to perform statistical traffic analysis. The purpose of this phase is to discover the data transmission of the searched node to its adjoining nodes. After implementing the statistical traffic analysis whether the searched node plays the role of source or destination is estimated. With the help of this estimation the traffic pattern is discovered. The utility of this proposed system is basically in military environment. In order to track the adversaries attack this system is utilized. The adversaries are not able to know that they have been tracked. This proposed system works passively and perform traffic analysis based on statistical characteristic of captured raw packets

Photoluminescence study of Sr3Y1-X(BO3)3:xTb3+ green emitting phosphor

143-147Terbium doped strontium yttrium borate phosphor is prepared by solution combustion method. Structural characterization of Sr3Y(BO3)3:Tb3+ (SYB:Tb) has been carried out with X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis. Particle size of 0.5–2 µm and perfect element composition were seen in SEM-EDS. Using FTIR at room temperature the presence of [BO3]- group; complete combustion of nitrates, organic material, absence of O-H bond were firmed up. Photoluminescence properties of the phosphor have been investigated by measuring the excitation and emission spectra. Several luminescence bands of Tb3+ ions are observed under 233 nm excitation wavelengths in 350–700 nm spectral region. The emission spectra were composed of three bands, in which the dominated emission of green luminescence SYB:Tb attributed to the transition 5D4→7F5 is centered at 543 nm. The dependence of the emission intensity on the Tb3+ concentration for the Sr3Y1-X(BO3)3:xTb3+ (0.01 ≤ x ≤ 0.05) was studied and observed that the optimum concentration of Tb3+ in phosphor was 3 mol% for the highest emission intensity at 543 nm. The CIE coordinates (X=0.251363409, Y=0.736605581) fall at the border of green region in the CIE 1931 chromaticity
