The Preventive measures and therapeutic strategies are attaining timely with a great efforts of clinicians and scientists of the same on oral cancer. Mere improvement in therapeutic strategies is not enough to decrease the mortality and morbidity rate of oral cancer. However the recent studies have proved that delay in diagnosis remains one of the major causes of the high morbidity and mortality rate. Therefore the aim of this review is to cover the most recent data on salivary biomarkers in the detection of oral cancer. Salivary biomarkers serve as the diagnostic tool in oral cancer namely increased salivary fluid levels of cell cycle regulatory proteins such as Cyclin D1, Ki67, glycolytic enzymes like Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) and Matrix Metallo Proteinase (MMP) as diagnostic tools in oral cancer is reviewed.

 Abstract

Nowadays human activity detection has come to be an implicit service in lots of smartphones. Everyone is turning into fitness conscious. Smartphones have embedded sensors consisting of accelerometers and gyroscopes. Therefore, the algorithms for such activity recognition should be very light to function on most smartphones or any wearables however correct at the identical time. During this paper, we will develop a lightweight software for human activity detection supported Long Short-Term Memory networks, which can learn features from raw accelerometer information, absolutely bypassing the process of generating manufactured features. We are going to assess our algorithm on information collected in a managed setting, in addition to information collected under field conditions, and we display that our algorithm is robust and performs almost equally well for each scenario even surpassing other approaches from the literature.

Medical data is one of the most sensitive types of data. Secure storage and making full use of personal medical records has always been a concern for the general population. The emergence of blockchain technology brings a new idea to solve this problem. The current way of sharing medical data is mostly done by physically transporting the document or sharing it online via email. These methods are prone to MTM (Man in the Middle) attacks where an unauthorized person might get access to medical records. Also in case if the transportation medium is compromised our data will also be compromised. Our solution is to develop a storage scheme to manage personal medical data based on blockchain and cloud storage. The system can be used by both patients and doctors. The patient can choose which report they want to share with the doctor. The Files would first be used by an OCR (optical Character Recognition ) pass which will extract the important data from the files using keyword filtering .The data will then encrypted using AES which can only be decrypted with a special key which can only be used by the patient or doctor who is authorized by the patient. The system would also have different analytical tools to help the doctor in recognizing different illnesses or take a second opinion. The system will have different endpoints through which they can avail different facilities such as Detection of pneumonia in chest x-rays.

 Abstract

Education competence in the present world is interwoven with the progress of every society. The most significant agency of education is school, where an individual should learn not only academics but to adjust with the surrounding in specific and society at large. The social standing of an individual is strongly characterized by the predominant features of his or her family background. School achievements are considered to be the most important in determining the career of a student. Analysis of data collected shows that the adjustment pattern is similar among students in boys, girls and co-education state board schools at the secondary level. It is also further seen that the co-education students are better than the boys in the socio-economic status of state board schools. It is also concluded from the study that co-education students are better than boys and girls in their academic achievement of state board schools. This can be due to the competitive spirit between the opposite genders with each of them trying to perform better than the other.

 Abstract

India has seen expanded support of ladies in all areas of the work market. In any case, the vocation way of Indian ladies is certainly not a ceaseless one. Notwithstanding the flooding profession possibilities, ladies keep on stopping their positions. Some return in the wake of taking a break, while others are always lost to the work markets. Those ladies, who return to the labor force discover trouble in recovering their vocation energy due to the requests they face at work and home. Associations are progressively esteeming these reemergence ladies' ability and are consequently returning activities to carry them to labor force and hold them by giving a few working environment emotionally supportive networks like adaptable timings and work-from-home alternatives. Subsequently, various examinations have exactly analyzed the connections between such authoritative backings and occupation perspectives of representatives. In any case, there are not many investigations that have examined the directing job of apparent work and family requests in these connections especially for reemergence ladies. In spite of the fact that there are a couple of studies on reemergence ladies in other social settings, scarcely any investigation is found in the Indian setting. Almost nothing is thought about the principle explanations behind vocation exit and profession reemergence and the elements, difficulties, obstructions, and openings at the individual, family, and hierarchical levels for ladies who choose to join back work after a lifelong break.

ABSTRACT A reliable and timely forecast on the Potential Fishing Zone using satellite derived sea surface temperature and chlorophyll has become an important aspect for the fishermen. The potential fishing zone (PFZ) advisories received from Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS), Hyderabad during April, 2007 to March, 2012 were validated along Maharashtra coast. Available information was disseminated to the fishermen community via electronic digital display boards, internet media, fax and telephonic massages at the 3 major fish landing centers (Harnai, Mirkarwada and Sakhri-Natye) of Ratnagiri district coast of Maharashtra. Feedback was collected for both the PFZ and Non-PFZ locations in the prescribed format developed by INCOIS office Hyderabad. This contains name of vessel or boat, date of fishing, time of hauling, latitude and longitude, type of net used, depth of catch, distance from the coast, direction, catch in kg, major catch in kg and major variety. In the present study an attempt has been made to compare fish catch per unit efforts (CPUE) in the areas predicted by Satellite imagery (potential fishing zones PFZ) and with those of non predicted areas (outside potential fishing zones). The direct validations were done within and outside PFZ area, which shows positive relationship between PFZ and abundance in pelagic fisheries. It means comparing the catch using fishing vessels simultaneously from the potential fishing zones (notified region) with that of catch from outside potential fishing zones (non notified region). Then the Catch per Unit Efforts (CPUE) was computed by dividing total fish catch (Kg) by number of fishing hours. The comparison was made of catch data from PFZ with outside PFZ areas from notified vessels from 3 fish landing centres, in which Mirkarwada fish landing centre showed higher fish catch than Harnai and Sakhri-Natye. Also the CPUE was significantly higher during the year 2011-12 than in 2007-08 and followed by 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010-11. About 70% increases was reported in total fish catch CPUE in potential fishing zones PFZ than outside potential fishing zones PFZ in 30-100 m depth zones. 50% advisory was used by fisher folk of Ratnagiri district which is higher than the fisher folk of Maharashtra State which was used only 40% PFZ forecast to extent their fishing activity. An analysis of fish catch data from fishing vessels (within and outside PFZ) revealed that CPUE was higher in notified areas compared to non-notified areas in trawl as well as purse-seine net operations during 2007-2012. Therefore the accuracy of timely forecasts of PFZ validation is important source of economic gain in fisheries.

 Abstract

It is a perennial duty of philosophers especially African Philosophers themselves to delve deep into many of the African traditional concepts. The aim, therefore, is to critically evaluate and re-evaluate them as to make them more scientific and validating the truth contains in those concepts. Man in every era has been hunted by the terrifying possibility of total extinction as he lives in a constant presence of the inevitability of death. Hence, the Igbo concept of reincarnation project a confluence of the idea of birth, death, soul, physical world and the spiritual world vis-a-vis their interdependence as well as the desirousness of an Igbo African man to make his relationship with both the living community and the ancestral community permanent. This idea is grounded on the African concept of the inseparability of the spiritual and the material worlds. Hence, given the obvious controversies accompanying the notion of reincarnation in Igbo-African Cosmo-ontological framework, the writer articulated in this paper a philosophical appraisal of reincarnation from Igbo onto-philosophical purview. The write in order to achieve this project, employed the method of philosophical appraisal. By the time the work is accomplished, it is hoped to have realized its aim of establishing that several theories about man and nature of the universe which were once held to be established truths have today been discarded on account of being either inadequate or no longer tenable or out-rightly misleading.
