Detection of Brain Tumors from MRI images using Improved Fuzzy C means and K means template-based algorithm

For decades even with the advancement of scanning and evolving imagery systems, the detection of tumors present in the brain has become increasingly challenging and is still one of the most sensitive areas in the field of medicine. In this research work, a enhanced model is proposed in which I have employed a combination of two algorithms. The first algorithm is the K Means Clustering which is a method of vector quantization. The second is the Fuzzy C-means clustering in which each data point can be attributed to more than one cluster. When used together the algorithms give enhanced performance and is called the TKFCM algorithm. Here in this paper, first in order to initialize the segmentation the k-means algorithm is used and the template is selected based on the Gray level of the image. Then the membership that is updated is primarily determined using the distance from the centroid of the cluster to the data points of the cluster using the FCM algorithm. Next, the improved FCM clustering algorithm is fundamentally used to detect the position of the tumor based on the function that is obtained by different features that include energy, contrast, entropy, homogeneity, dissimilarity and also the correlation. The results of the paper indicate that the algorithm is capable of detecting tissues that are abnormal in a improved time window.

Majeeth (Rubia codifolia linn): A review

Rubia cordifolia Linn also called as common Madder or Indian Madder, is a species of flowering plant. Rubia cordifolia is a branched climber with small, greenish white flowers that are arranged in a cluster of round, fleshy, purple fruits. Its roots have a brownish red bark from which a red dye is obtained. This plant grows well in hilly areas, and the root has medicinal values It is an important member of the Rubiaacea family. Dried roots of Rubia cordifolia, is a rich source of anthraquinones responsible for its traditional, phytochemical and pharmacological activities. Today clinical investigations of herbal formulations and their market preparations, both are on demanding because of better safety and efficacy without or minimal side effects. Many studies suggested that Rubia cordifolia has many biological effects such as antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory and analgesic, hepato-protective, anti-acne, blood purifier activity, astringent, antimicrobial, anti-dysentric, antiseptic, nephron-protective properties. The present article describes a detailed review of literature for this plant species including taxonomy pharmacology and photochemistry in an organized way. This review paper will surely serve as an important source for the future scientific investigations on this plant.

Life in Sundarbans: Spatial Dimensions of Amitav Ghosh’s Gun Island

Space and Time were always treated as a fascinating matter for the aspiring research fraternity of English literature. It is of contemporary relevance and practicality to discuss the topic in detail. Many theorists like Henry Lefebvre, Edward Soja, Yi Fu Tuan were leading the discussions based on Space through their seminal literary works. Here intention of this paper is to analyse the novel Gun Island in the light of space theory and study how spatial dimension were employed by Amitav Ghosh in his narrative. Sundarbans, the tide country is the focus of the narrative though which he talks about the major themes like marginalisation, trauma of the destitute, man vs. nature conflict and so on. The inclusive view of Sundarbans especially Lusibari is narrated here pinpointing the issues of refugees, ordeal of Dalits, Natural calamities etc. Lusibari, its people their beliefs, jobs, social conditions, educational background, economic aspects, and so on were talked about. The uneducated people who were strong believers and how intimately they keep and pass on their tradition beliefs, legends etc were shown in the novel. This paper will add knowledge regarding the space Lusibari and its culture to the reading public.

Survey paper on Worry-Free 2.0- IoT based solution for smart home

We are living in an age where there is innovation every day, but still, we live in the same conventional houses. We should aim to induce some technology to our houses too. So, by considering this scenario we have developed a module that will transform our traditional houses into modern-day homes. Thus, we provided a solution for improving our lifestyle and include some of the technological advancements in our day-to-day life. Our technology was helpful to those who are specially-abled as well as those who need constant supervision. It is environmentally friendly as it helps in saving electricity. Our product will fulfill the basic requirements of daily life and ensure the safety of that family. Our product portfolio consists of products that can ensure the security of the home and bring convenience to our lifestyle. One of our products is smart to switch which can operate any appliance from any remote location. Our second product is an intruder alert, if any intruder tries to break into our house, then an alert will be sent to the owner of the house. Unnecessary electricity wastage is one of the biggest concerns of today's time, to solve this we have developed a module which will automatically turn on and off the light during day and night. Our fourth product is a gas leakage alert, if there is an LPG gas leak our product will detect it and will take measures accordingly.

Case Study

Gossypiboma neck rare mimicker of tumor recurrence

Retained foreign bodies (RFB) or Gossypibomas are rare causes of lumps. They can present with symptoms several years after surgery. We encountered the presentation of a patient with RFB or gossypiboma after total thyroidectomy and ablative session of I131 therapy with complaints of swelling on the left side of the neck since 2mths, discharge from post-operative drain site since one month associated with pain during deglutition. The Discovery of such a case of RFB in the neck providentially at an early stage, during the investigation of such a lump, is exceptional. We report such a singular case.

Maternal health and child care knowledge among farm women and associated factors

A study on ‘Maternal health and child care knowledge among farm women and associated factors’ was conducted at University of Agricultural Sciences, on 300 farm women selected from Hubballi and Dharwad thalukas of Dharwad district, Karnataka state. Maternal health and child care knowledge questionnaire developed by AICRP-CD unit from PJTSAU was used for the study. Results on component wise maternal health and child care knowledge revealed that, more than 50 per cent of rural women were found to have average knowledge level of health, hygiene and high knowledge level of nutrition. Overall maternal health and child care knowledge showed that, about 54.3 percent of women had ‘poor’ knowledge about maternal health and child care while 45.7 per cent had ‘average’ and none of the respondents had ‘good’ knowledge regarding maternal health and child care. Among associated factors age, occupation and SES factors were found to have significant influence on maternal health and child care knowledge of rural women. Knowledge of rural women was found to be associated with age and literacy status of the mother. So, there is a need to give educational interventions to improve knowledge level of all reproductive age group women especially adolescent girls, married, pregnant and lactating mothers.
