An Extensive Analysis of Understanding Consumer Intention towards Reduction of Food Waste
No full textPurpose: People's purchasing and consumption patterns have been substantially influenced by different behaviours. The widespread concern about reducing food waste has resulted in the need for environmental concern. Consumer food purchases differ from each other when consuming in dine-in outlets where different factors can result in food trash leading to a serious threat in restaurants. Food waste has a significant impact on businesses across the country; this study will indicate by understanding the consumers' behavioural patterns whether or not the problem of food waste can be improved. This research helps to know the changes in consumers' intention consumption behaviours regarding food waste in dining outlets to avoid and reduce it.
Design/Methodology: This research is based on secondary sources acquired from extensive literature, case studies, journal articles, and internet searches.
Findings: According to the findings, society is becoming alert to the food waste problem and are taking proactive actions to prevent food waste in their households as well. The influence of the pandemic in 2020 has also served as a warning in every outlet regarding the environmental effects of food waste and pollution. This has enabled people to collaborate from the comfort of their own homes, and they are more cautious about purchasing food anywhere they go to dine and have a strong notion to reduce waste on their part. Because of the pandemic, the community's broad waste patterns have slowed, protecting the environment in the process and has given hope for sustainability.
Research limitations/implications: Restaurant food waste is India's growing problem. In addition to this, people are suffering a crisis due to the pandemic, which has resulted in food scarcity which is also leading to hunger. Because waste is one of the country's existing challenges due to its vast population, inefficient waste management methods must be fixed to minimize the possible risk of food waste contamination in households and food businesses.
Originality/value: There is a high demand in India for an efficient strategy to prevent future contamination of food waste by any further upcoming situation. With the rising population and urbanization, individuals have to change themselves to a more efficient in handling the situation by understanding the problem of waste that will help themselves and the environment to the greatest. This research intends to address the challenges of food waste generated by restaurants by consumers, as well as potential methods and backup plans for overcoming the food waste disaster with long-term solutions.

A Case Study on Risk of Musculoskeletal Disorder Due to Poor Ergonomics in First Time Lactating Mother with Recurrent Myofascial Trigger
No full textPurpose: A case study was done to analyze the risk of musculoskeletal disorder due to poor ergonomics and to evaluate the post-partum depression in first-time lactating mothers with recurrent Myofascial triggers.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The researchers used a descriptive research methodology to assess and analyze all the activities which could help to meet the objectives of the study. The positions of lactating mothers are explained accurately and factually based on observation, personal interviews, and analyzed postpartum depression using Edinburg Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Thus, this design may help to open a few facts about the breastfeeding positions of first-time moms, which is still having a scarcity of literature. Data collected from the study are noted, explained, and analyzed for comparison and further studies. The respondents of the study were the patients/mother who came to health care services due to physical and mental issues after eight weeks of delivery.
Finding/Result: This case study has shown that new moms who are breastfeeding their babies are more prone to the risks of musculoskeletal disorders due to their poor ergonomics. It is also clear that post-partum depression is common in new mothers. From secondary data, there is an association between poor ergonomics and recurrent Myofascial triggers. So, it is important to give proper guidance in good ergonomics for newly lactating mothers during an antenatal and post-natal period to avoid the risk of musculoskeletal disorders.
Originality/Value: An ergonomic dimension of this study.

A Machine Intelligent Based Approach for the Classification and Analysis of Tomato Leaf Disease Images
No full textPurpose: Vegetable production plays a vital role for the existence of human society. It is very much essential for the proper care of vegetable plants for better production of vegetables. However, vegetable plant leaf disease is a major concern in the current scenario. Tomato leaf disease is one of them. So, preventive measures should be taken to avoid the rise of tomatoes and other leaf diseases at the earliest for better production of vegetables.
Approach: In this work, a machine intelligent (MI) based approach is proposed for the classification of tomato leaf disease images (TLDIs) into the bacterial spot (BS), early blight (EB), late blight (LB), leaf mold (LM), septoria leaf spot (SLS), tomato mosaic virus (TMV), tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) and healthy (HL) types. The proposed approach is focused on the stacking (hybridization) of Logistic Regression (LRG), Support Vector Machine (SVMN), Random Forest (RFS) and Neural Network (NNT) methods to carry out such classification. The proposed method is compared with other machine learning (ML) based methods such as LRG, SVMN, RFS, NNT, Decision Tree (DTR), AdaBoost (ADB), Naïve Bayes (NBY), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNNH) and Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGDC) for performance analysis.
Result: The proposed method and other ML based methods have been implemented using Python based Orange 3.26.0. In this work, 1600 TLDIs having 200 numbers of each type such as BS, EB, LB, LM, SLS, TMV, TYLCV and HL are taken from the Kaggle source. The performance of all the methods is assessed using the performance parameters such as classification accuracy (CA), F1, Precision (PR) and Recall (RC). From the results, it is found that the proposed method is capable of providing better classification results in terms of CA, F1, PR and RC as compared to other ML based methods such as LRG, SVMN, RFS, NNT, DTR, ADB, NBY, KNNH and SGD.
Originality: In this work, a MI based approach is proposed by focusing on the stacking of LRG, SVMN, RFS and NNT methods to carry out the classification of TLDIs into several types such as BS, EB, LB, LM, SLS, TMV, TYLCV and HL. The proposed approach performs better in terms of CA, F1, PR and RC as compared to LRG, SVMN, RFS, NNT, DTR, ADB, NBY, KNNH and SGDC methods.

Design and Development of Efficient Model to Predict Neurodegenerative Disorders Using Advanced LSTM: A Review of Literature
No full textPurpose: A continuous Nervous system illness that influences development is known as neurodegenerative sickness. Side effects show up continuously, and may start with a scarcely distinguishable quake in just a single hand. Quakes are normal, but they are frequently joined by firmness or eased back versatility. The emphasis is on Parkinson's infection specifically (PD). The signs and results of Parkinson's contamination shift starting with one individual then onto the next. Early reprimand markers could be subtle and go unnoticed. Regardless, when aftereffects start to influence the different sides of your body, secondary effects normally jump on single side of your body and decay on that side. Parkinson's illness is brought about by the demise of nerve cells in the substantia nigra, a portion of the cerebrum. The exactness of a few fake brain network approaches, for example, Convolutional Neural Network, Recurrent Neural Network, Long-Short term Memory network have been concentrated on to analyze Parkinson's illnesses. This record inspects a synopsis of a portion of the examination and concentrates on that have been directed in the field of clinical diagnostics. In light of the audit, research holes are featured, as well as examination needs for future review.
Approach: A thorough study on the algorithms used in analysis of handwritten and vocal to distinguish and anticipate Parkinson's illness.
Findings: The review showed that the majority of the AI and deep learning strategy can order neurodegenerative illness in view of vocal, transcribed and walk investigation in light of the clinical datasets. The new crossover philosophy proposed will be more exact as the model will actually want to foresee and distinguish neurodegenerative sickness in view of eye development.
Originality: The sort of information expected for forecast and discovery framework are considered and the design and portrayal outline of a proposed model are incorporated.
