The use of facial recognition technology has been widely embraced in a variety of fields, from tailored user experiences to security systems. But as facial recognition systems are used more frequently, they are becoming more vulnerable to threats like facial spoofing. In order to fool the underlying recognition algorithms and jeopardize the integrity and security of the system, facial spoofing entails presenting fake facial data. For face recognition systems to be consistent and successful in practical applications, the problem of facial spoofing detection must be solved. Conventional methods to spoofing detection have frequently depended on manually created features or shallow learning models, which may find it difficult to generalize to a variety of spoofing methodologies and changes in position, lighting, and facial expressions. Methods based on deep learning have shown promise in recent years as a means of improving the adaptability and accuracy of face spoofing detection. Among these, by utilizing hierarchical feature representations, Region-based Convolutional Neural Networks (R-CNN) have shown outstanding performance in object detection tasks. Simultaneously, the Haar Cascade Algorithm has been widely implemented to perform efficient object recognition in pictures, specifically for facial recognition. As an important preprocessing step in face recognition pipelines, the Haar Cascade Algorithm uses a cascade of classifiers to recognize features of the face like the mouth, nose, and eyes.

In any separation process one of the most important targets is to achieve cost optimization through managing the energy utilization for the degree of separation being the constraint. Reactive Distillation is one such process which combines reaction and separation in one single process unit to reduce the cost of process, and heat integration in such process can add one more dimension of optimizing energy demand. The present work is to simulate and analyze the heat integration aspect of Reactive distillation process for the production of Isoamyl Acetate (IAAc). Rigorous heuristic optimization is done using DWSIM simulation software, to arrive at process and design specifications which give minimum energy demand without compromising the product purity (96% pure).

In contemporary education, pupils' academic performance must be predicted correctly. Logistic Regression and Random Forest are examples of machine learning algorithms that can effectively predict students who are more likely to fail. Logistic Regression is used for the assessment and prediction of such issues as timely interventions and customized care which address multiple factors in a student's life. Conversely, Random Forest may handle big data sets well because its precision is remarkable. With a population of 480 students sampled from Kalboard360, this study compares logistic regression and random forest about demographic, educational or behavioral features. The findings reveal the effectiveness of both approaches: Logistic regression has an 81% accuracy rate with some space for improvement while Random Forest has a classification accuracy rate of 89% which shows that it can categorize different student outcomes. Such insights from these algorithms have informed tailored interventions aimed at highlighting the significance of employing Machine Learning techniques within the academic arena and understanding their strengths as well as weaknesses for successful strategies.

QUALITY OF SLEEP AND FACTORS INFLUENCING SLEEP PATTERN AMONG PATIENTS ADMITTED IN THE ICUS IN SELECTED HOSPITALS, GUWAHATI,ASSAM: A DESCRIPTIVE STUDY RESEARCH ABSTRACT AUTHOR: Ms. Piyali Dey GUIDE : Mrs. Manju Chapagain Assistant Professor Asian Institute of Nursing Education North Guwahati,Assam CO-GUIDE : Mrs.Pinki Barman Assistant Lecturer Asian Institute of Nursing Education North Guwahati,Assam PROBLEM STATEMENT: "Quality of sleep and factors influencing sleep pattern among patients admitted in the ICUs in selected hospitals, Guwahati Assam: A descriptive study" INTRODUCTION Sleep is an important and essential process in all our lives. Rest and sleep are essential for good health. According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, sleep is one of the most basic needs or drives to motivate human beings to achieve the fullest potential in life. According to WHO, Sleep is triggered by a complex group of hormones that are active in the body, and that respond to cues from the body itself and the environment. Sleep disturbance is a frequently overlooked complication of intensive care units (ICU). OBJECTIVES o To assess the quality of sleep among patients admitted in ICUs in selected hospitals, Guwahati Assam. o To assess the factors influencing sleep pattern among patients admitted in ICUs in selected hospitals, Guwahati Assam. o To find out the correlation between quality of sleep and factors influencing sleep pattern among patients admitted in the ICUs in selected hospitals, Guwahati, Assam. o To find out the association between quality of sleep and factors influencing sleep pattern with the selected socio-demographic variables. METHODS AND MATERIALS The investigator conducted an explorative descriptive study to identify the quality of sleep and factors influencing sleep pattern among patients admitted in the ICUs in selected hospitals of Guwahati,in order to accomplish the objectives of the study. Purposive sampling technique was used for obtaining the adequate sample for the study.Study was undertaken on 142 patients in selected hospitals of Guwahati,Assam.Paticipants were selected on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria.Quality of sleep and factors influencing sleep pattern were assessed by distributing self structured SQS tool and checklist to the respondents. RESULTS Result showed that out of 142 respondents majority 41(28.9%) of the respondents were in the age group 31-40 years,72(50.7%) of the respondents were female, 30(21.1%) of the respondents completed primary and middle school education, 43(30.3%) respondents had monthly income Less than or equal to Rs. 9226, 40(28.2%) of the respondents were in government job, 38(26.8%) of the respondents were married, 24(16.9%) respondents were diagnosed with CVA, 17(12.0%) respondents have none of the co morbidities, 85(59.9%) respondents have previous ICU admission, 13(9.2%) respondents stayed for >30 days. In assessing quality of sleep it reveals that out of 142 respondents, 138(97.2%) had moderately adequate quality of sleep and in factors influencing sleep majority 130(91.5%) had high disturbances in the sleep pattern. It is also found that the correlation between quality of sleep and factors influencing sleep pattern was found to be -0.428 which shows a negative correlation between quality of sleep and factors influencing sleep pattern.Thus, when factors influencing sleep pattern is high then the quality of sleep among the patients admitted in ICU is poor. In association,the results showed that there is no association between quality of sleep with the age, gender, qualification, occupation, family income/month, marital status, diagnosis, any co-morbidities, previous hospitalization,duration of ICU stay. CONCLUSION From this study it was concluded that majority of patients had moderately adequate quality of sleep and had high disturbances in sleep pattern in the ICUs. There is moderate relationship between quality of sleep and factors influencing sleep pattern, thus the investigator concluded that though the factors in this study might likely affect the quality of sleep among patients some other factors might affect their sleep in the ICUs.

This study explores the use of machine learning algorithms for crime prediction using historical data of public property crime in a large coastal city in southeast China. The comparative analysis focuses on the predictive power of several machine learning models. The findings indicate that the LSTM model outperformed other methods such as KNN, random forest, support vector machine, naive Bayes, and convolutional neural networks when solely using historical crime data. Furthermore, incorporating built environment data such as points of interest (POIs) and urban road network density into the LSTM model as covariates improved the prediction effect. These results have implications for the formulation of policing strategies and the implementation of crime prevention and control.

A build-up of senile plaques (SPs) and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) in the brain is the pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD), the primary cerebrovascular illness that causes dementia. Diabetes mellitus is a condition marked by improper carbohydrate metabolism and increased blood glucose levels. It is caused by a malfunction in the body's capacity to create or respond to the hormone insulin. There is growing recognition that cognitive impairment is a significant comorbidity of diabetes mellitus. There are many stages of diabetes-related cognitive impairment, each with unique cognitive characteristics, affected age groups and prognoses, and most likely distinct underlying processes. Additionally, mounting data points to a number of linkages between the neuropathology underlying DM and AD, and evidence even points to the possibility that experimental production of DM might result in cognitive failure, even in rodent animal models. Deficits in spatial learning are correlated with unique modifications in hippocampus synaptic plasticity in animal models of diabetes. Although the complex pathophysiology of diabetic encephalopathy is not fully known, it is evident that it has characteristics with the pathophysiology of diabetic neuropathy and brain aging. Chronic hyperglycemia-related alterations in metabolism and blood vessels are present, and there may also be abnormalities in the brain's ability to use insulin. Thus, insulin treatment may have a direct impact on the brain in addition to addressing hyperglycemia. Therefore, insulin therapy may have a direct impact on the brain in addition to treating hyperglycemia. It is not yet known why AD typically occurs in older people, despite genetic research demonstrating that the primary component of SPs, ?-amyloid peptide (A?), is the critical element causing AD pathogenesis.
