    No full text
    In recent times, Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is the most inevitable ailment caused by high blood sugar levels in humans. Conversely, the detection process is accomplished by many learning algorithms. Some models have used the single view of retinal images, it renders unsatisfactory outcomes to forecast the disorder. Due to inadequate of retinal lesion features, the system gradually degrades the performance, and the system has a fewer tendencies to diagnose the disease. On the other hand, the computer-based model is suggested to detect the DR. Nevertheless, these methods are most cost and computationally effective and behinds with feature representation, futile to classify the diseases. To conquer against these shortcomings, a novel DR diagnosis model is proposed using a hybrid heuristic-aided deep learning model with fundus images. The retinal fundus images are collected that are given to the pre-processing stages as scaling, cropping and "Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE)". In image augmentation, the high quality image is given for further processing with the help of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). Subsequently, the augmented images are fed into the model of a Hybrid cascaded Multi-scale Dilated Convolutional Neural Network (HCMD-CNN), where the Residual Attention Network (RAN) and the MobileNet are integrated to provide promising results for DR detection. Furthermore, the parameters present inside the HCMD-CNN are optimized to achieve higher performance with the help of newly designed Modified Sooty Tern Golden Eagle Optimization (MSTGEO). The implementation results will be analyzed through existing DR detection schemes to ensure the efficiency of the suggested DR detection model

    No full text
    Previous studies on Social Value Orientation (SVO) have identified certain predictors of the concept such as personality traits, values and experiences. Since motivation to achieve power and Dark Triad constructs share common predictors with SVO, a natural link between them is assumed. Although SVO, power and Dark Triad are theoretically aligned, research integrating all of them is scarce. Hence, first purpose of this study is to examine the effects of motivation to achieve power on SVO and second purpose is to examine the effects of Dark Triad on motivation to achieve power. Data for the research is collected from white collar employees of the companies operating in Turkiye with an online survey using convenience method for sampling. CFA is performed to confirm the scales and examine their factor structures. The goodness of fit indices indicated an acceptable model fit. Path analysis is performed to examine the hypothesized structural model for effects of dark triad on motivation to achieve power. Results indicated narcissism has a significant and positive effect, Machiavellianism has a significant and negative effect on motivation to achieve power. On the other hand, psychopathy is not found to have a significant effect on motivation to achieve power. Logistic regression analysis is conducted to examine if motivation to achieve power effect likelihood of occurring different types of social value orientation. Results suggested otherwise. Overall, this study contributes to the literature by examining interrelations between SVO, Dark Triad and power using a sample from Türkiye. Results highlights the effects of Dark Triad on motivation to achieve power. However, absence of the effect of power concept on SVO calls for further research

    Volume editors : Swaroop A., Kansal V., Fortino G., Hassanien A.E.Thus, this study illustrates a comprehensive examination of machine learning techniques for liver disease diagnosis using the Indian Liver Disease Patients Dataset (ILPD). In view of the critical need to identify liver disorders early and accurately, we used a multimodal machine learning approach involving feature selection, advanced preprocessing, and classifier integration. The use of stacking classifier with ExtraTrees at the meta level, and RF (Random Forest), XGBoost, DT (Decision Tree) and ExtraTrees at the base level is a novelty in our method. When combined with tenfold cross-validation, this technique facilitates extensive evaluation across various data partitions. In contrast to other works that have concentrated on minimizing data imbalances and increasing feature relevance to enhance model prediction accuracies; our work stands out as unique. There was an impressive improvement in accuracy precision and reliability as compared to previous models by our stacking classifier which achieved over 90% accuracy and an AUC score. This demonstration shows why it is necessary to combine several machine learning methods including their application within medical institutions. Also, our study compares itself with the latest researches on similar issues so as to show what has been done differently in our work

    Nowadays, traffic accidents are caused due to the distracted behaviors of drivers that have been noticed with the emergence of smartphones. Due to distracted drivers, more accidents have been reported in recent years. Therefore, there is a need to recognize whether the driver is in a distracted driving state, so essential alerts can be given to the driver to avoid possible safety risks. For supporting safe driving, several approaches for identifying distraction have been suggested based on specific gaze behavior and driving contexts. Thus, in this paper, a new Internet of Things (IoT)-assisted driver distraction detection model is suggested. Initially, the images from IoT devices are gathered for feature tuning. The set of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) methods like ResNet, LeNet, VGG 16, AlexNet GoogleNet, Inception-ResNet, DenseNet, Xception, and mobilenet are used, in which the best model is selected using Self Adaptive Grass Fibrous Root Optimization (SA-GFRO) algorithm. The optimal feature tuning CNN model processes the input images for obtaining the optimal features. These optimal features are fed into the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) for getting the classified distraction behaviors of the drivers. From the validation of the outcomes, the accuracy of the proposed technique is 95.89%. Accordingly, the accuracy of the existing techniques like SMO-LSTM, PSO-LSTM, JA-LSTM, and GFRO-LSTM is attained as 92.62%, 91.08%, 90.99%, and 89.87%, respectively for dataset 1. Thus, the suggested model achieves better classification accuracy while detecting distracted behaviors of drivers and this model can support the drivers to continue with safe driving habits.Günümüzde akıllı telefonların ortaya çıkmasıyla birlikte fark edilen sürücülerin dikkat dağınıklığı nedeniyle trafik kazaları meydana geliyor.
