Dementia is a neurological disorder characterized by a decline in cognitive function, affecting memory, thinking, and behaviour. Early detection of dementia is crucial for effective management and intervention. This paper proposes a machine learning approach for dementia detection using various cognitive and behavioural features derived from neuropsychological tests, neuroimaging data, and wearable devices. We present a comprehensive review of existing methodologies and datasets used in dementia detection research. Our proposed model employs a combination of supervised learning algorithms, including support vector machines, decision trees, and deep learning architectures, to classify individuals as either dementia or non-dementia. We evaluate the performance of our model on a large-scale dataset, achieving promising results in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. Furthermore, we discuss the potential implications and challenges of deploying such a model in clinical settings for early diagnosis and personalized treatment of dementia. Overall, our study demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of using machine learning techniques for dementia detection, paving the way for future advancements in this critical area of healthcare.

 Abstract

Dalit literature is the articulation of protest and anger against the injustice and social exclusion the Dalits are subjected to in the caste-ridden, hierarchical society of India. The Dalit authors and critics argue that it is this protest and anger, a new literary strategy which can build the aesthetics of Dalit literature. Dalit literature, however, is yet to form a conceptual standard on which the Dalits can represent and universalise their experience of pain. Many Dalit poets have attempted to build a distinctive aesthetics through poetry. But poetry essentially related to emotion seems inadequate to build a conceptual framework which is essentially an intellectual phenomenon. Though Dalit writers resist the Sanskritised aesthetics of mainstream literature by using their own language, registers and idioms, they nonetheless partake of the mainstream aesthetics when they articulate themselves in poetry. Gopal Guru (2012) claims, "Poetry helps the Dalit in making connections through metaphors but not through concepts" (p. 23). My paper, however, will argue that as Dalit experience is at the centre of a distinct Dalit aesthetics, Dalit poetry based on rich experience can contribute to build a new aesthetics for Dalit literature. My paper will reference a number of Bengali Dalit poets whose poetry can serve to build a separate aesthetics through poetic rendering of their distinct Dalit experience, conforming at the same time to many principles of mainstream aesthetics.

 Abstract

It has been a long endeavor to find out how Emotional Intelligence ( EI ) and Perceived Symptoms of Social Phobia are related, which is an elusive topic in psychological research. According to Goleman , Emotional Intelligence is "the capacity to recognize, evaluate, and regulate one's own emotions as well as those of others and groups.". In general, the ability to recognize, comprehend, and regulate one's own emotions as well as those of others is referred to as emotional intelligence. A form of anxiety condition called social phobia, sometimes referred to as social anxiety disorder, is typified by a recurrent fear of social settings and a strong desire to avoid a stranger or an individual. Despite the apparent disconnect between the two, research points to a strong correlation between emotional intelligence and the perception of social anxiety symptoms in a person or an individual irrespective of gender, or age. That is why, the design of the study is to investigate the relationship between Emotional Intelligence ( EI ) and Perceived Symptoms of Social Phobia among Young Adults. The present study has used purposive sampling. A sample of adults between the ages group 19-45 has been taken residing in India. The Schutte Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT) and Social Phobia Inventory Scale ( SPIN) have been the tools used in this study. It was established that there was a significant positive relationship between EI and Perceived symptoms of social phobia among young adults (at 0.01 value). There is also a significant positive relationship between EI and perceived social phobia symptoms in both males and females (at 0.01 value). It was also established that there was no major difference between Emotional Intelligence ( EI ) and Perceived Symptoms of Social Phobia among men and women. Also, EI significantly predicts perceived symptoms of social phobia among young adults (at 0.01 value).

 Abstract

Deficiency in vitamins can lead to diseases like beriberi and rickets, while insufficiency poses risks for chronic illnesses. In Japan, low vitamin D levels increase the likelihood of osteoporotic fractures. B vitamins, essential for metabolism, are found in foods like meat, dairy, and greens. Thiamine deficiency research sheds light on its importance, while low vitamin B12 or folate levels can cause hyperhomocysteinemia, leading to cardiovascular issues, fractures, and cognitive decline. Insufficient vitamin B1 levels raise the risk of heart failure in the elderly. Though improving nutrition through vitamins may not match drug treatments, it's cost-effective for disease prevention. B vitamins, unlike fat-soluble ones, need daily replenishment and play vital roles in energy production and molecule synthesis. Studies focusing on thiamine deficiency highlight its specific effects on health, revealing its crucial role in physiology. Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause reversible anemia or demyelinating disease, with diagnosing challenges addressed by measuring methylmalonic acid levels. High-dose vitamin B12 treatment effectively manages these deficiency-related neurological issues. Understanding vitamin D's hormonal role emphasizes its importance in disease prevention, urging for maintaining optimal levels for overall well-being beyond conventional approaches.

 Abstract

: The wireless communication industry is currently experiencing a tremendous growth in the area of Radio Frequency (RF) and antenna design. Researchers are trying to find new ways to design antennas with high data rates and low power consumption. Ultra-wide band (UWB) MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) antenna design is an ultimate choice for short-range wireless applications. For UWB technology, the frequency spectrum, ranging from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz (7.5 GHz bandwidth), has been officially allotted by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) in USA. Hence, the use of MIMO antenna concepts for UWB technology offers a potential solution for data rate enhancement with low power consumption. Despite having various benefits, MIMO technologies in communication systems are accompanied by some challenges that need proper attention. One of them is to achieve compactness of the overall design while maintaining a good performance. Achieving compactness increases the mutual coupling due to current flow among the ports, which results in poor diversity gain, low radiation efficiency, and low gain. Through proper isolation between the antenna elements, high mutual coupling is avoided. Different methods have been explored and proposed by researchers to enhance isolation among the antenna elements. This project explores the design of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antennas tailored for Ultra-Wideband (UWB) applications, focusing on achieving high isolation between antenna elements. To achieve high gain and better VSWR, different substrate materials used in this project are: 1. ROGGERS 4003 2. FR4 EPOXY 3. ROGGERS R03006(tm) 4. AIR 5. ROGGERS R04350(tm).

This study especially focus on the status of Muslim women in Assam. Here we would investigate two key parameters education and labour force participation. The census data of 2001 and 2011 have been analyzed to investigate the religion wise educational status and also religion wise workers and non-workers status of women in Assam. From the result of the analysis it is found that Muslim women are sadly lagging behind women of all other religions in terms of both education and employment. The reasons behind this are primarily financial weakness, lack of good quality schools, illiteracy and ignorance of parents, conservative thinking etc.

 Abstract

Fetal brain development plays a crucial role in determining overall health outcomes and potential neurological disorders. Accurate estimation of fetal brain age and detection of anomalies are essential for timely medical intervention and effective prenatal care. In this paper, we propose a robust ensemble learning approach for fetal brain age estimation and anomaly detection using advanced machine learning techniques. Our method leverages multiple learning models, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs), to extract meaningful features from fetal brain images obtained through ultrasound imaging. Through a carefully designed ensemble framework, we integrate the predictions of individual models to enhance overall accuracy and robustness. Additionally, we introduce a novel anomaly detection mechanism based on anomaly scoring and thresholding techniques to identify deviations from normal brain development patterns. Experimental results on a large dataset demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of our approach in accurately estimating fetal brain age and detecting anomalies with high precision and recall rates. Our proposed method holds significant promise for improving prenatal care and facilitating early detection and intervention of fetal brain abnormalities.

 Abstract

Bonded labour as well as slavery was abolished in India as soon as the Indian Constitution came into force in the year 1950. However, the ground reality is quite different. To this day, a big number of Dalit labourers work as serfs on the fields and in the houses of wealthy, high caste landlords. This paper proposes to discuss the harsh reality of serfdom in the light of the real life story of Viramma, a Pariah woman, as narrated by her in the book 'Viramma: the life of an untouchable'. This paper shall discuss how caste based discrimination makes way to various forms of unfair practices pushing poor Dalits to live on the margins of the society. This paper shall also discuss how the lives of female serfs are much more painful as compared to their male counterparts.
