 Abstract

Living in the era of digitalisation & reading the news that arrays the possibility of converting the cosmos to earth has done nothing with the downtrodden, poverty stricken millions of people who are neither aware of their basic rights nor governed by the measures of the welfare State. Yes, it is the truth at present regarding the rights of human being in South Asia. Though governed by elected representatives, the voices of the underprivileged and marginalised groups are not heard in countries like Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka. The trade involved in trafficking, smuggling, cyber terrorism has flourished in this decade and made it a business over billions of money in it. Apart from it the Crackdowns on the Right to Freedom of Expression intensified across the region. Enforced disappearances continued to scar communities in Pakistan and Bangladesh; civilian casualties remained at record highs in Afghanistan, civil society organisations continued to be harassed and shut down in almost every country. Journalists continued to be targeted, members of the political opposition were arbitrarily arrested, religious and ethnic minority groups and Indigenous Peoples continued to be demonised. This paper is the comparative study of the above stated violations with that of the competency and adequacy of the laws on both the national and international forums to control and eradicate such inhuman practices.

 Abstract

Vitamin D is well acknowledged for calcium homeostasis is a fat soluble vitamin whose scarcity could cause metabolic disorders infectious diseases and rickets and osteomalacia. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), is an ancient pathogen that through an evolutionally developed complex mechanism to immune surveillance and acquire the ability to establish persistent infection, tuberculosis (TB) in its host. There are emerging evidences suggesting the relation of vitamin D deficiency in establishing tuberculosis. This review summarises the importance of Vitamin D for the treatment of tuberculosis. Since the efficacy has depleted of the Bacille Calmette Guerin (BCG), the only approved TB vaccine so there is a need to investigate for a new vaccine candidate. Previous studies suggest that the incidence and severity of tuberculosis are associated with low levels of Vitamin D and it is associated with an increased risk for emerging active TB infection. In vitro logistical data shows that Vitamin D increase innate immune response against the growth of MTB giving a high dose of Vitamin D on TB patients. Recent studies concluded that the Vitamin D can be recommended for the adjunctive therapy in treating and prevention of TB, in combination with anti-tuberculosis drugs.

 Abstract

Metamaterials are artificial engineered materials with unusual electromagnetic properties which are not found in nature. The use of metamaterial in patch antenna not only reduces the size of antenna but also improves the antenna parameters like gain, directivity, bandwidth enhancement and efficiency. In this review paper, an introduction and overview of metamaterials and its application in patch antenna is described. A comparison of literature review on the basis of size reduction, gain and bandwidth enhancement techniques for various wireless applications is presented.

 Abstract

With the exponentially growing COVID-19 (corona virus disease 2019) pandemic, clinicians continue to seek accurate and rapid diagnosis methods in addition to virus and antibody testing modalities. Because radiographs such as X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans are cost-effective and widely available at public health facilities, hospital emergency rooms (ERs), and even at rural clinics, they could be used for rapid detection of possible COVID-19-induced lung infections. Therefore, toward automating the COVID-19 detection, we propose a viable and efficient deep learning-based chest radiograph framework to analyze COVID-19 cases with accuracy. A unique dataset is prepared from available sources containing the chest view of CT scan/X-ray data for COVID-19 cases. Our proposed framework leverages a data augmentation of radiograph images algorithm for the COVID-19 data, by adaptively employing the MATLAB and NeuroSolution on COVID-19 infected chest images to generate a train a robust model. The training data consisting of actual and synthetic chest images are fed into our customized neural network model, which achieves COVID-19 detection with good accuracy. Furthermore, through this it is possible to efficiently automate COVID-19 detection from radiograph images to provide a fast and reliable evidence of COVID-19 infection in the lung that can complement existing COVID-19 diagnostics modalities.

 Abstract

One of the main concerns of the world economy is unstable power supply. On the load side, many present-day services and equipment cannot tolerate even momentary interruptions of utility supply. With the emergence of renewables, there are multiple sources where the power is generated but they cannot be used efficiently due to their intermittent nature in addition to the dangers of backfeeding. The problem of backfeed and the dangers caused by backfeed current can be overcome by isolating each source by means of relays. Whenever the system senses a disturbance, these isolators, under the command of a microcontroller, automatically isolate the power supply. These isolators can be realized by relays which in addition to isolating the power supply, can also be used to transfer the source of power to load from one supply to another. To switch from one power supply to another, rapid switching between different power sources is required. In addition to enabling backfeed protection, rapid switching also maintains power supply to the load without any interruption. Thus all transfers are open transitions and the sources are never connected to each other.

 Abstract

The COVID?19 epidemic has caused an outsized number of human losses and havoc within the economic, societal, social, and health systems around the world. Controlling such epidemic requires understanding its behaviour and characteristics, which may be identified by collecting and analyzing the related big data. However, because of the vast amount of data available on COVID?19 from various sources, there is a requirement to review the roles of massive data analysis in controlling the spread of COVID?19, presenting the most challenges and directions of COVID?19 data analysis. Therefore, during this paper, we conduct a literature review to highlight the contributions of several studies within the domain of COVID?19?based big data analysis. The study presents as taxonomy of several applications accustomed manage and control the pandemic. Moreover, this study discusses several challenges encountered during analyzing COVID?19 data. The findings of this paper suggest valuable future directions to be considered for further research and applications.
