 Abstract

Recent years have witnessed the rapidly-growing business of ride-on-demand (RoD) services such as Uber, Lyft, and Didi. Unlike taxi services, these emerging transportation services use dynamic pricing to manipulate the supply and demand and to improve service responsiveness and quality. Despite this, on the drivers' side, dynamic pricing creates a new problem: how to seek passengers in order to earn more under the new pricing scheme. Seeking strategies have been studied extensively in traditional taxi service, but in RoD service such studies are still rare and require the consideration of more factors such as dynamic prices, the status of other transportation services, etc. We develop ROD-Revenue, aiming to mine the relationship between driver revenue and factors relevant to seeking strategies and to predict driver revenue given features extracted from multi-source urban data. We extract basic features from multiple datasets, including RoD service, taxi service, POI information, and the availability of public transportation services, and then construct composite features from basic features in a product form. The desired relationship is learned from a linear regression model with basic features and high-dimensional composite features. The linear model is chosen for its interpretability to quantitatively explain the desired relationship. Finally, we evaluate our model by predicting drivers' revenue.

 Abstract

Embedded systems help humans to live a convenient life. Most of the devices employed are altered to work smart for the requirements of humans. Embedded systems are most popularly used in the field of electronics, aviation, communication, health care, home appliances, and many more. With the increasing use of the embedded system devices in our day-to-day lives, security threats have also risen at a corresponding rate. However, assuring security in the embedded systems has become an extreme challenge for the embedded device professionals and the manufacturers of products. Security is always becoming a huge concern to the embedded system due to its drawbacks like power constraint, processing power, and cost. The latest trend of integrating the embedded systems with the internet introduces various vulnerabilities and exposes the attack surface of the embedded system. Incorporating networking capabilities may raise multiple attacks such as packet injection, Man In The Middle (MITM) attacks, and replay attacks. Hence, the security of these systems is very crucial to the sellers and consumers. Internet of Things (IoT) technology helps humans to live a life with quality and comfort. IoT has contributed significantly to various application areas. The extensive development of smart electronic devices and their data transmission protocol using wireless mechanics boost their vulnerability to various cybercrime and attacks. Consequently, the rate of cybercrime is rising every day. Hence, the study of embedded and IoT system security threats and respective counteractive measures can benefit security researchers in identifying proper solutions to face the enormous challenges in cybercrime investigation. IoT forensics plays a vital role in the investigation of cybercrimes. Numerous security issues at each layer in the embedded systems and internet of things (IoT) are also discussed briefly. In this paper, the vulnerabilities and threats present in the embedded systems and internet of things (IoT) are discussed, along with the countermeasures for mitigating those attacks.

 Abstract

The increasing usage of digitally enabled frames and the Internet of Things has resulted in a wealth of knowledge and a diversity of structures. The environment or document frameworks presented by Hadoop are utilised in most enormous data arrangements (HDFS). In any case, the reflectors showed weaknesses in such frameworks in the maintenance of current data. While some research has resolved these concerns for explicit diagram data variants, existing data are based on reasonable data. Studies show that productivity concerns lead to significant scope problems, such as increased space in server farms and waste in assets (such as the use of force), leading to ecological problems (such as more fuel byproduct) [1]. We propose a Hadoop Eco-Focus module that is information-rich. Also, we propose a genetic algorithm encoding strategy that uses circulating encoding. Our architecture enables Hadoop to manage data distribution and organization, as well as conduct group analysis on subsets of data. Even when improvement time and use of assets are involved, we can manage a wide range of data types. We have tested our assumptions on a number of LUBM datasets.

 Abstract

The extreme flexibility of digital imaging supports a wide range of linear and non-linear processes. The results of this processing are displayed as visualization, intensity and geometric processing, spatial frequency processing, and image analysis. Briefly explained how to perform image processing effectively. Vision is an important source of human information. It was impossible before, but because of the development of new technologies, it has become possible. The image processing also affects communication equipment. Through digital image processing, we can enhance the image, extract text from the image, define the edges of the image, and apply other effects. There are many digital imaging applications. In practice, this method is used in all fields, including investigations in medicine, robotics, neural networks, and criminal industries.

 Abstract

The relationship between low socio economic status and high prevalence of mental health problems has been established by volumes of research studies. Low socio economic status (SES) and poverty create severe stresses which ultimately lead to psychological disorders such as anxiety, depression and many other psychopathologies. Anxiety in the face of stress situations in comparison to the normal one lead to panic or severe fear, excessive sweating , rapid heartbeat , dryness of mouth and frequent urination. It is found that adolescents as a group are more vulnerable to anxiety as they pass through lots of changes both physically and mentally. In the present study hundred participants both from high and low SES group were selected randomly. They were matched on the basis of socio economic status, age and years of education. Their anxiety scores and academic achievement scores were compared by using various statistical tools. It was found from the study that adolescents belong to low SES status suffers from more anxiety and it ultimately affected their academic performance. On the contrary adolescent students from the high SES status group experienced less anxiety and their academic performances were better than their low SES counterparts. Results were compared both qualitatively and quantitatively.

In the medical field, medical image fusion plays an important role in diagnosis of brain tumors that may be classified as malignant or benign. To cut back uncertainty and minimize redundancy whereas extracting all the helpful info from the supply pictures, it's the method of grouping multiple pictures of the identical scene into one united image. SVM is employed to fuse 2 totally different visions brain tomography pictures. The image united is going to be a lot more informative than the pictures from the supply. The image united allows us to extract the characteristics of texture and wavelet. Based on supported trained and tested options, the SVM Classifier classifies brain tumors. The planned technique achieved sensitivity of 80.48 percent, accuracy of 99.69 percent and specificity of 99.9 percent. Experimental results obtained from the fusion method show that the utilization of the planned approach to image fusion shows higher performance compared to standard fusion methodologies.

 Abstract

Series of events that take place in the genital organ to expel out the product of conception through vagina in to the outer world is called labor. First stage of labor starts from the onset of true labor pain and ends with full dilatation of the cervix. Second stage of labor starts from the full dilatation of the cervix and ends with expulsion of the fetus from the birth canal. Third stage begins after expulsion of the fetus ands with expulsion of the placenta and membranes. Fourth stage of labor is the observation for one hour after expulsion of the after births. During this period maternal vitals, uterine retraction and vaginal bleeding are monitored

 Abstract

The rise of democratic institutions and egalitarian values in the twentieth century had to face lot of challenges and contradictions in India due to the unique features of the society based on principles that were in deep conflict with egalitarian values. Disparities between superior social groups and a large majority of the population living in conditions of disadvantage and disabilities were historically pervasive in Indian society. A major reason for the disadvantageous position of these groups was their status ascribed to them by birth in certain castes, creeds and tribal groups. Indian society was made of a multitude of relatively closed status groups, with unequal ranks, each with its own privileges and disabilities supported by traditional sanction. This article reviews the role of association and organizations in the struggle for freedom in north Karnataka.

 Abstract

An attempt is made in this paper is to analyse the backward class movement in Karnataka, its effects on Indian society. Due to the negative implications of caste system backward class movement arises. The caste system in India creates a bundle of social problems as a few castes are deliberate as greater to others. The social distinctions on the foundation of the caste system have been perpetuating because of the long tradition in giving significance to castes. There are violence and terrorism as people belonging to one caste attack people belonging to another caste. Backward Caste/class movements emerged among depressed castes and deprived sections of society in different parts of India with the broadening of the national movement.

 Abstract

Civil engineering structures such as building must have sufficient safety margin under dynamic loading like earthquake. The dynamic performance of a RCC building can be determined accurately that requires appropriate modelling considering foundation-soil, building-foundation and soil interactions. Building-foundation-soil interactions are complex phenomena requiring advanced mathematical and numerical modelling. The soil-structure interaction plays an important role particularly when subjected to seismic excitation, due to the potentially disastrous consequences of a seismic event. In the present work effectiveness of modelling in software for determination of seismic behavior of the medium rise building over raft considering soil flexibility interaction is studied. Modal analysis of building system is carried out in software. For the analysis, three dimensional multiple bays regular RC building model for eight storeys is considered and the soil beneath the structure is modelled as equivalent soil springs connected to the raft foundation. The response spectrum analysis of the soil-structure model was carried out using the general software STAAD.Pro. In both the cases (fixed base and flexible base) of modelling the structure, the earthquake records have been scaled according to the Indian Standard 1893-2002 for each type of soil (i.e. I, II & III) and applied to the ordinary moment resisting frame with seismic zone III, zone IV and zone V.

 Abstract

Agricultural Produce Market Committee: Marketing and trade, as an activity, are at the end of the value chain for any commodity, but they are the most essential determinant of all other activities. At this level, all labour, material, and capital input expenses are compensated, which must include some incentive above and beyond inputs. In a developing country, agricultural products are in constant demand throughout the year, despite the fact that most of them are produced only during certain times of the year, this causes price fluctuations, which can alter profit equations for farmers. All regional markets are being integrated into both parties benefit from a nationwide market. Farmers and customers Farmers will benefit. Rewarding prices even when there is little demand in their area, on the other side, if there isn't when a state produces less, the consumer will still be able to obtain things at reasonable pricing.

 Abstract

The influence of SES on postmenopausal 40 rural women was studied during 2015. The women who attained menopause and belonging to 35-55 years age range were selected from 4 villages of 2 talukas of Dharwad District. The postmenopausal symptoms were measured by using Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) developed by Barlin. (1992) with 11 items. The responses on each item was scored as 0-4 as none to very severe. MRS was categorized as low (0-14), medium (15-29) and high (30-44) further it was divided into somatic, psychological and urinary symptoms. The Socio Economic Status (SES) of family was assessed by using Socio Economic Status scale developed by Agarwal et al. (2005). Correlation was used to assess the relationship between SES and postmenopausal problems. Results revealed that in case of SES majority (63%) fell under lower middle, while 20% of them were poor and 16% in upper middle category. It was noted that 75% of women completed education upto primary level and 25% of them not attended the school. While with regard to MRS majority of women (63%) faced somatic problems, while 26% of them showed psychological problems and only 10% had urinary problems. There was a positive and highly significant relationship between SES and postmenopausal problems thus indicating that SES influenced the menopausal problems. Hence there is a need for empowerment of women economically and educationally so that they will take care of postmenopausal health

 Abstract

The Boey score is the most commonly used scoring system for risk stratification because of its simplicity and high predictive value for mortality and morbidity in cases of gastric perforation. This score is widely used in daily practice because it only assesses 3 assessment components; namely the onset of perforation, shock at first admission, and comorbid disease; which is easy to do and has a fairly good accuracy. In Boey score 2, the mortality rate is still high, so research on the factors that most influence mortality at Boey Score 2 needs to be done. This study uses secondary data from medical records of patients who meet criteria of inclusion and exclusion. This study is a comparative test using a cohort analytic observational study design (longitudinal retrospective), comparing the components of the Boey score which is the most influential in predicting the mortality rate in gastric perforated patients. Boey score 1 and Boey score 2 at RSUD Dr. Soetomo Surabaya. A total of 65 subject were included in this study, consisted of 43 men (66.2%) and 22 women (33.8%). We found 16 patients (24.6%) with Boey score 1 and 49 patients (75.4%) with a Boey score 2. From the Boey score component, 49 patients (75.4%) were obtained with the onset of perforation> 24 hours, 31 patients (50.8%) with preoperative shock, and 34 patients (52.3%) with comorbidities. Comorbidities in study subjects included hypertension in 17 patients (26.2%), diabetes mellitus in 4 patients (6.2%), heart disease in 4 patients (6.2%), lung disease in 5 patients (7.7%), and kidney disease in 7 patients (10.8%). Shock is the most dominant Boey Score predictability factor that affects the mortality rate in gastric perforation patients with Boey score 1 and Boey score 2.
