    يعد سرطان الرئة من أخطر الأمراض وأكثرها انتشارًا ، حيث يتسبب في العديد من الوفيات كل عام. على الرغم من أن صور التصوير المقطعي المحوسب تستخدم في الغالب في تشخيص السرطان ، إلا أن تقييم عمليات الفحص يعد مهمة معرضة للخطأ وتستغرق وقتًا طويلاً. يمكن للنموذج القائم على التعلم الآلي والذكاء الاصطناعي تحديد أنواع سرطان الرئة وتصنيفها بدقة تامة ، مما يساعد في الكشف المبكر عن سرطان الرئة الذي يمكن أن يزيد من معدل البقاء على قيد الحياة. في هذا البحث ، تُستخدم الشبكة العصبية التلافيفية لتصنيف السرطانة الغدية وسرطان الخلايا الحرشفية وصور المسح المقطعي المحوسب للحالة العادية من مجموعة بيانات صور مسح الصدر بالأشعة المقطعية باستخدام مجموعات مختلفة من الطبقة المخفية والمعلمات في نماذج CNN. تم تدريب النموذج المقترح على 1000 صورة مسح مقطعي للخلايا السرطانية وغير السرطانية للعثور على أفضل مزيج من المعلمات في CNN للتنبؤ بسرطان الرئة بدقة. سجل النظام المقترح أعلى دقة بلغت 92.79٪. بالإضافة إلى ذلك ، تتناول الورقة 192 ملاحظة تمت باستخدام نموذج CNN.Lung cancer is one of the most serious and prevalent diseases, causing many deaths each year. Though CT scan images are mostly used in the diagnosis of cancer, the assessment of scans is an error-prone and time-consuming task. Machine learning and AI-based models can identify and classify types of lung cancer quite accurately, which helps in the early-stage detection of lung cancer that can increase the survival rate. In this paper, Convolutional Neural Network is used to classify Adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and normal case CT scan images from the Chest CT Scan Images Dataset using different combinations of hidden layers and parameters in CNN models. The proposed model was trained on 1000 CT Scan Images of cancerous and non-cancerous cells to find the best combination of parameters in CNN to predict lung cancer accurately.  The proposed system recorded the highest accuracy of 92.79%. In addition to that, the paper addresses 192 observations made using the CNN model.

    Biofertilizer and their importance in sustainable agriculture

    There are many small or undeveloped countries whose economy depends on agricultural production. A healthy agriculture production depends on various factors like soil quality, water, fertilizer, skilled labor, and many more. Fertilizer is the most crucial things that influence agricultural production. A fertilizer is a kind of chemical or natural substance that is helpful in crop production. However, to achieve quick agricultural yields we usually used chemical fertilizer which is very responsive to biofertilizer but the chemical fertilizer is not as eco-friendly as biofertilizer. Biofertilizer are natural fertilizes which are living microbial inoculants of bacteria, algae, fungi alone or in combination and they augment the availability of nutrients to the plants. Mycorrhizal fungi preferentially withdraw minerals from organic matter for the plant whereas cyanobacteria are characterized by the property of nitrogen fixation. The role of biofertilizer in agriculture assumes special significance, particularly in the present context of increased cost of chemical fertilizer and their hazardous effects on soil health. Agricultural fertilizers are essential for proper crop growth and yield. Chemical fertilizers have recently been used by farmers to increase yield and speed up the process. Natural biofertilizer, on the other hand, not only have a higher yield but are also safe for humans.  The benefits of biofertilizer include low cost, enhanced nutrient availability, improved soil fertility, protect plants from soil-borne pathogens, sustainable agricultural production, enhanced biotic and abiotic stress tolerance, promote phytohormone production, improve soil health, causing less environmental pollution, and its continued use improves the fertility of soil considerably. &nbsp

    A Multiquantum Well (MQW) SixGe1-x/Si DAR (Double Avalanche Region) IMPATT (Impact Avalanche Transit Time) diode as a high power-high efficiency-low noise source at W-band is proposed in this paper. The RF power, conversion efficiency and noise of the device are optimized with respect to number of quantum wells and Ge mole fraction. The proposed device delivers peak power of 2.7 W, conversion efficiency of 7.5% and noise measure of 25 dB when the number of wells in the MQW structure is four and mole fraction of Ge is 0.3. The admittance plots of the device exhibit distinct negative conductance bands for three different (0.1, 0.2 and 0.3) mole fractions of Ge. An upward shift of optimum frequency is observed with increasing Ge mole fraction. The noise measure of the device decreases with increasing mole fraction of Ge and decreasing current

    ObjectiveThe present study aims to examine the association between women's decision-making autonomy and utilization of maternal healthcare services among the currently married women in India.MethodsA total of 32,698 currently married women aged 15-49 years who had at least one live birth in the past five years preceding the survey and had information regarding autonomy collected by the National Family Health Survey 2015-16 were used for analysis. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models were employed for the analyses of this study.ResultsUtilization of maternal healthcare services was higher among the women having a high level of decision-making autonomy compared to those who had a low autonomy in the household. The regression results indicate that women's autonomy was significantly associated with increased odds of maternal healthcare services in India. Women with high autonomy had 37% and 33% greater likelihood of receiving ANC (AOR: 1.37, 95% CI: 1.25-1.50) and PNC care (AOR: 1.33, 95% CI: 1.24-1.42) respectively compared to women having low autonomy. However, no significant association was observed between women's autonomy and institutional delivery in the adjusted analysis.ConclusionThis study recommends the need for comprehensive strategies involving improvement of women's autonomy along with expansion of education, awareness generation regarding the importance of maternity care, and enhancing public health infrastructure to ensure higher utilization of maternal healthcare services that would eventually reduce maternal mortality
