A Mathematical Slam Dunk: Eliminating Bias using Advanced Statistical Techniques to Predict the NBA MVP

Predicting the Most Valuable Player (MVP) awards in the NBA is a complex task that involves analysing player statistics and performance metrics. For the history of the tournament, MVP selection has been based on subjective opinions and votes from sports analysts, and votes from the players themselves. However, using mathematical concepts in machine learning techniques, it is now possible to make more objective and data-driven predictions. In this study, we use mathematical concepts from the field of machine learning: Random Forest [1] and SMOTE [2] (Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique), to predict MVP award shares.

Review on Inflammatory Pathway on Oral Cancer Disease

Oral cancer, characterized by malignant lesions in the oral cavity, poses significant health challenges globally. Inflammation has been increasingly recognized as a crucial factor in the pathogenesis and progression of oral cancer. This review synthesizes current knowledge on inflammatory pathways involved in oral cancer, emphasizing their role in tumor initiation, promotion, and progression. Key inflammatory mediators, including cytokines, chemokines, and prostaglandins, are examined for their contributions to the tumor microenvironment and their interactions with cancer cells. We explore the mechanisms by which chronic inflammation leads to genetic and epigenetic alterations, facilitating the transformation of normal epithelial cells into malignant ones. Additionally, the review discusses the impact of inflammatory signaling pathways, such as NF-κB, COX-2, and IL-6, on oral cancer progression and their potential as therapeutic targets. Insights into these inflammatory mechanisms offer valuable perspectives for developing novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to improve outcomes in oral cancer management

Bridging the Gap: Education Inequality and Economic Impact in India

This paper examines the disparities in school enrollment and dropout rates across various Indian states and their correlation with economic conditions. The paper uncovers states with higher government and private enrollments and dives deeper into steps taken by government and its impact. Despite government initiatives like Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, significant inequalities persist, particularly affecting marginalized communities and girls. The study utilizes secondary data from ASER and MOSPI, analyzing trends from 2009 to 2018. Findings reveal that states like Tripura and West Bengal have high government school enrollments, while Manipur leads in private school enrollments. Dropout rates are notably high in states like Uttar Pradesh, possibly due to less government initiatives, whereas Kerala and Tamil Nadu show low rates due to robust educational policies. The regression analysis indicates that higher per capita NSDP correlates with lower dropout rates and increased private school enrollments, suggesting economic factors significantly influence educational trends. Conversely, government school enrollments decrease with better economic conditions, highlighting the need for improved public education quality. The paper underscores the importance of targeted policies and social awareness in specific states to address these disparities and promote inclusive education.

Face Recognition-Based Attendance System

This research paper is about the creation of a program for attendance marking using face recognition, which takes the concepts of the Haar Cascade algorithm created by Viola and Jones and the LBPH classifier developed by Timo Ahonen et al. Each student’s data was collected by a program interface that also took photos of each student for face detection and recognition to take place. The success of the program was it was able to detect each student correctly with an accuracy of 91%. This program has been successfully implemented in the last 12 months.

Consumer Behaviour of UPI Applications / Companies

Abstract: Due to factors such as demonetization and COVID-19, UPI has quickly become India’s first choice when it comes to digital payment and is now being incorporated in other countries such as Bhutan and, more recently, France. This research paper explores the various reasons behind the rapid growth of UPI since its introduction in 2016 and why it has become so easy to adopt and integrate into our daily transactions. The paper compares UPI to other forms of digital transactions, and cash transactions, and goes into depth on the advantages, as well as barriers, faced when using UPI.

Corporate Social Responsibility: Ethical and Economic Considerations

This research paper focuses on the constant conflict of businesses working towards corporate social responsibility with ethical or economic considerations. Hence, it reviews the government, markets and social norms as the pressure behind corporate social responsibility. This brings us to the basic rationale behind CSR and to whom these firms bring those CSR schemes. The paper also analyses various companies' perspectives on CSR and their expenditures on these schemes. Further, it talks about CSR as a byproduct of the ethical practices of the firms, which follows up to consider the kinds of CSR that are important to be taken care of. This leads to the origin of CSR, as the result of labour conflicts in the 19th century, which elaborates on the current situation in the three pressures which discipline companies into a certain social behaviour.
